Education, not wealth, was the VIENNA (JTA) A resolution calling attention to the treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union and urging world public opinion to speak out against the liquidation of Jewish institutions in that country was adopted here at the concluding session of the fifth congress of the Socialist International. The resolution was introduced by the French delegation. Dr S.

Levenberg, director of the Jewish Agency office in London and a Mapai member, told the congress that "we are deeply disturbed about the enforced assimilation policy carried out towards the Jewish population of the Soviet Union." He pointed out, how Nadler has a civil service job paying $2,000 an hour.

The real wealth of the pious Jew was learning. Today when many Jews are not so pious, they cannot get the old attitudes about learning out of their system. Among the Jewish winners on the $64,000 program are Hank Hloomgardon, Teddy Nadler, and Joyce Brothers. Robert Strom is half and half. His mother is Jewish but not his father.

Robert has an older brother, -who is said to be as brilliant, named Stephen for Rabbi Stephen Wise. It appears, before his birth, the Stroms had tried to adopt a child but were turned down by all the agencies save the Free Synagogue because of the mixed religions of the parents. In gratitude to the Free Synagogue, when Mrs. Strom gave birth to her own child, she named him after Rabbi Wise. Nadler, A Shoemaker's Son Teddy Nadler, the St.

HOLLYWOOD Tony Curtis (Schwartz) recently completed three screen assignments which allowed him to show more than just his youthful face and pleasant personality. In "Sweet Smell of Success," the actor portrays Sidney Faleo, a two-bit scoundrel who calls himself a press agent.

Ceaselessly lacerated by his ego, he is lured into his own destruction by the forces of evil represented by an all-powerful Broadway columnist (Burt Lancaster). Curtis gives a finely-shaded performance in the utterly unpleasant newspaper yarn which was written by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman for the Hecht-Lancaster organization.

Boyle disclosed that John K. Eraser, a basketball referee in the Missouri Valley Conference, had btH'n accused of fixing games and in response revealed himself to be an anti-Semite.

This is how we completed our story, after a bow to the anures- season, and if not, why not?" Yes. the Conference officials, said, they did receive information from "law enforcement agencies that Mr. Fraser has a conviction dating back 22 years." And, in reply to the next query, the Conference doesn't want anyone to officiate whose integrity is in question. And, finally, no, Fraser won't continue as referee, for he "has requested that he be removed from the list of active officials." More Data These are official replies. But "Sports Illustrated" has gone further and offers us these games: At 16, Fraser had been declared "an incorrigible delinquent" in his home town of Carlinville, 111.

He was accused of theft and of associating with criminals. He was pu' on a year's probation. Six years later, while coaching basketball at a co-ed school in southern Illinois, three girls ac lishment of a plastics industry and who later branched out to other industries, some time ago opened a big factory for the manufacture of carton containers and boxes, with the citrus industry as one of its main, if not the main, target. Israel's largest exports is citrus fruit which has always been sent abroad in unpolled wooden crates. Dubiner wanted to sell the citrus exporters carton boxes but ran into a solid opposition of the Citrus Marketing Board, which is a non-governmental body representing and speaking on behalf of the majority of Israel's citrus farmers.

"Sports Illustrated other things, "Sports Illustrated" asked these questions of the Conference: "Have you received in formation from official sources that Fraser has a criminal record and has association with gamblers?" "Do you consider Fraser a suitable man to referee your college basketball games?" And "Will he continue to referee next tine and later Israel have for almost two decades now been a sellers' market and not a buvers' one. First, the Second World War and its aftermath, that the Israel War of Indepvndence and the lean years of mass immigration and large-scale development projects, always left the customers with more money than there were goods at reasonable prices, but with less money than needed to create a fairly wide market for over-priced commodities. And whenever there was something in between the two categories, the Israelis were buying it up brisklv without much advertising.

For example, you did not have to advertise to sell your tinned meat, if it was sold under a svs-tem of rationing and at a low official price. But no amount of advertising could convince manv Israelis to buy their wives mink coats when there was a shortage of woolen coats, even though the supply of mink coats considerably exceeded the demand. However, if and when there was an ample supply of some goods at reasonable prices, for example American books at a creap rate supported by MSA funds, the Israelis were buying books at a high rate without much advertising. The sellers market, naturally, also preempted the need for "institutional advertising" aimed at creating general good will for a certain company. The business firms, moreover, knew that it was much more important to know the ins-and-outs of the bureaucracy of Economic Ministries than to be in reports.

I'npleasant Portrait The over-all portrait of Fraser as drawn by "Sports Illustrated" is an unpleasant one, but on reflection it is, in a way. to be expected. For the callous anti-Semite, the man who explodes expletives against Jews for no reason at all. can scarcely be entirely decent as a human being.

Fraser fits at leas! this colmunists' picture of a Jew-baiter. The rest of his history makes his intolerance of Jews perfectly understandable. He is violent and he is a bigot. It is good that he is out of the game. "let the public judge" has already entrenched itself as one of the ni' ins to fight out arguments between two business enterprises.

Public Relations in politics is at a very low level in Israel. One or two months before the General Elections, the entire country is literally flooded by a deluge of posters, leaflets and other punted material extolling the virtues of the principles for Which this or that party stands. MoM of the posters are specimens of publicity meptiiess. often consisting of reprint of entire platforms or even speeches: to read such a poster, one would first have to stand on a small ladder to be able to see the uppermost hne. and later stoop to almost ground-level to be able to t.ike in the final lines -if argument.

In government offices, the givl Public Relations officer is not he who manages to get the office good publicity but rather the man who succeeds to keep things out of the papers, even if those "things" are only plain information not favorable or unfavorable to the office.

Advertising is now much brighter, advertising agencies are changing into Public Relations Agencies and even some government offices now prefer to have as their press officers, people who can read, and write.
