Chanukah Message Of Peace
A paradox in the history of Hanukah reveals that the major military victory of Judah and his brother Maccabees, in 167 BCE, once was ignored. Un¬ fortunately, the power from victory soon was to corrupt the descendants of the Maccabees and they did violence tothe Jewish belief in a genuuie pluralism by forcing an entire city — the Idiimeans — to conv^ to ¦   ,judaism.  '\. ,
For about 150 years, imtil after the fall of the Second Temple to Ih^ Romans in the year 70, Hanukah was not celebrated, it was re-introduced to give the people ,- some hope that the Holy City of Jerusalem would be re¬ established under Jewish aegis, just as it was in the days of the Maccabees.
There are no examples in history where a nation forsook the celebration of a military victory in or^ to cultivate a quest for peace. Thus, the impressive ritual of the Sabbath of Hanukah as it has been observed until our own time. The prophetic portion which is read comes from Zecharia (4:6) concluding with the verse: "Not by power, nor by might, but my spirit, said the Lord'of Hosts,"' • ¦
Sa.itayana said.those who ignore history are con¬ doned to re-live it. In the spirit and time of Hanukah this holiday is one for all nations.

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Dr. Marvin Schick, Mayor John V. Lindsay's Asisistant for Inlergroup Relations, said this week that in discussions with Jewish groups' con¬ cerning the controversial low-income hdusing' project: in Forest Hills, top city of- fidals have emphasized that a substantial number of the tenants Hvill be Jewish poor. Dr. Schick also dedared that leaders of the Forest Hills Jewish community have been extended invitations to have a major role in the process of tenant selections
for the 840 unit low-income project. He said Ihat offers have been made repeatly to responsible Jewish com¬ munity organizations by Simeon Golar, the , city's Housing Authority chair¬ man., An estimated 40 per¬ cent of the ptt^iiosed tenants for the Forest HiUs projed will be eldd-ly. Since elderly Jews make 19 the'bulk of Jewish poor in New York City, th^ will be among those slated for acceptance as tenants in the project. But Dr.   Schick   stressed   that

UNITED NATIONS, (JTA)—Secretary General Tbant said Dec. 1 that "recent devdopments have added to the urgency" ofliis remarks in his Sept. 17 rqiort\that "diere can be little doubt that, if the present impasse in, thie search for a peaceful (Middle East) settlement persist^, new fighting will break out sooner or later." Iliant's rqmrt to the General Assembly on "The Situaticw in the Middle East" called on "the appropriate organs of the United Nations" to "review the situation once again and find ways and . mc^ns to enable the Jarring A'feiisipri to' moyoi'forward.'' ifJlrtie.ji^i^rti'was^f^^^       in

Oct. 27, Ambassador Giinnar
V. Jarring of Sweden, his persona] Mideast emissary, was here at UN headquar¬ ters, ready to continue his peace efforts, but "found liimself faced with the same d^dlock and with no possibility of actively pur¬ suing his ihissioii." He added that during much of this time the promotion of agreement between the parties was the object of an effort by the United States to promote an interim agreement for the reopening of the Suez Canal, "which has not, so far, achieved any positive results," and* a mission of inquiry condiided by four African Presidents, "which is still in.progress as this rqoort is being pr^iared."
