Roosevelt made pub¬ lic this week a photograph taken in the Leningrad synagogue with Gedalla R. Pechersky, leader of the Jewish religious community in Leningrad, on the back of which the subsequently imprison¬ ed Jewish leader had written "please don't forget us." The New York Herald Tribune. In reproducing the photograph, speculated that such encounters with foreign visitors "may well have constituted a major part" of the case against Mr. Pechersky. He was tried in semi-secrecy last fall, convicted on charges of "es¬ pionage" for Israel and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. He sent the photograph taken in the Len¬ ingrad synagogue, to Miss Kate Roosevelt, now Mrs. William Had¬ dad. Mrs. Haddad recalled her chance visit with Mr. Pechersliy, which happened while she was on a routine vacation tour of Russia in 1956 with friends. The group decided to go to Leningrad from Moscow. One of the items on the group's list of places to see was the synagogue. When they arriv¬ ed, a special service was in pro¬ gress. At the close ot the service, they were surrounded by members of the congregation and the photo¬ graph was taken. In the fall of 1956, soon after her return to New York, she received a photograph from Mr. Pechersky. On its back was written: "I send you this photo that will remind you of the days when you were in Leningrad and visited with your friends at the Central Synagogue. My best wishes and happiness to you. Miss Roosevelt, and to your great grandpiother, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. We are proud that we have such a beloved friend of the Jewish nation and especially of the Russian Jews. We are very thankful for the brave and noble deeds. Heaven and mankind will never forget it. And please don't forget us!" The Herald Tribune asserted that Washington experts felt that "the wholly coincidental, unplan¬ ned and Inconsequential encount¬ er which M. Pechersky had with Miss Roosevelt, and scores, per¬ haps hundreds of similar encount¬ ers, including Americans, may well have constituted a major part of the case against him." For Mrs. Haddad the encounter was simply one of the many routine incidents in the life of a tourist.

(JTA) —Parent Teacher Associations in all-day Hebrew schools were re¬ cently urged "to prepare a pro¬ gram of orientation for parents which will emphasize the pro¬ found religious significance of Bar Mltzvah rather than its social aspects." The proposal was contained in a resolution adopted at the clos¬ ing' session of the 14th annual convention of the National Asso¬ ciation of Hebrew Day School PTA's.

Ambassador Michael Comay, head of the Israel delegation to the United Nations, addressing the conference, said that "the success of Israel's intensive de¬ velopment is revolutionizing its position in the world." He cited the ties of friendship and coopera¬ tion between Israel and these new states In Asia and Africa. MR. OOMAY drew attention to the great challenge facing Israel In settling the Negev. "This daz¬ zling challenge will need great financial resources, and there is unlimited creative scope for the loan funds raised through the Is¬ rael bond drive." Eric A. Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, told the delegates that the economic and democratic growth of Israel had proven to the under-developed countries thpt they could achieve progress "without compromising the prin¬ ciples of liberty and the rights of the individual." Mr. Johnston is the author of the plan for using the waters of the Jordan River for the irrigation of arid areas, in¬ cluding the Negev. ABRAHAJM FEINBERO, presi¬ dent of the Israel Bond Organiza¬ tion, told the conference that Is¬ rael must now adjust her economy to the new conditions created by the formation of the European Eiconomic Community. "There is a real possibility." he said, "that Israel will need to tighten its belt economically during the coming months. To help her pass through this critical period without undue difficulty, an increased flow of Israel bond dollars is of decisive importance." Louis H. Boyar, of Los Angeles, national chairman of the confer¬ ence, drew attention to the fact that "the bulk of Israel bonds pro¬ ceeds remained in the United States to pay for the machinery, the raw material, the food pro¬ ducts and the services which the people of Israel need to continue with their economic growth." MR. BOYAR SAID that from 1651, when the first Israel bond issue was floated, through last year, $535,000,000 in Israel bonds had been purchased in the United States. In that period, he said, Israel spent $1,600,000,000 in this country for Imiporta of goods and services while Israel's exports to the United States amounted to approximately $425,000,000. Max Bresaler, president of the Zionist Organization of America and national chairman of Guard¬ ians of the larael bond drive, em¬ phasized that there can be no fu¬ ture for Israel's economic growth without the development of the Negev. "But this enterprise," he said, "calls for a renewal of our devotion and a new sense of pio¬ neering eiffort." Mr. Bressler call- _ed upon the membership of the Zionist Organization of America to enroll as "a vanguard of sup¬ port" for the Israel bond cam¬ paign. Cables of congratulations to Mr. Cantor were received from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Finance Minister Levi Eshkol of the State of Israel. A special award, consisting of a plaque on which was mounted a unique sil¬ ver Torah breast plate with the symbols of the twelve Tribes of larael, waa given to Mr. Cantor. r(

MR. BOYAR SAID that from 1651, when the first Israel bond issue was floated, through last year, $535,000,000 in Israel bonds had been purchased in the United States. In that period, he said, Israel spent $1,600,000,000 in this country for Imiporta of goods and services while Israel's exports to the United States amounted to approximately $425,000,000. Max Bresaler, president of the Zionist Organization of America and national chairman of Guard¬ ians of the larael bond drive, em¬ phasized that there can be no fu¬ ture for Israel's economic growth without the development of the Negev. "But this enterprise," he said, "calls for a renewal of our devotion and a new sense of pio¬ neering eiffort." Mr. Bressler call- _ed upon the membership of the Zionist Organization of America to enroll as "a vanguard of sup¬ port" for the Israel bond cam¬ paign. Cables of congratulations to Mr. Cantor were received from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Finance Minister Levi Eshkol of the State of Israel. A special award, consisting of a plaque on which was mounted a unique sil¬ ver Torah breast plate with the symbols of the twelve Tribes of larael, waa given to Mr. Cantor. r( |
