top Undersecretary posts.
In the case of Mr. Kiselev,
there is no doubt that Mr.
Thant had no choice in the
matter. At the time he took of-
fice, he announced that, among
his principal advisers, Under-
secretary Georgy P. Arkadev
would hold a ranking place.
Mr. Arkadev, a Societ citizen,
submitted his resignation. Ob-
viously, his successor had to be
appointed in accordance with
the Kremlin’s wishes, and Mr.
Kiselev is the man. But interest

Six Jews Killed, Seven Seriously
Injured In Clashes In Algeria
Claude E. Hooten, Jr., Democratic candidate
for Congress from the 22nd District, will report
on his recent trip to Israel with Edward “Ted”
Kennedy when Hadassah celebrates its Golden
Jubilee Birthday at 8 p.m., Sunday, March 18
in the Emerald Room of the Shamrock Hilton
Hotel.
At what promises to be the biggest annual
linen shower in history, the Hadassah birthday
party, will launch an annual project to “shower”
linens and supplies on the newly dedicated Ha-
dassah-Hebrew University Medical Center Hos-
pital near Jerusalem.
“A quarter of a million pieces of life saving
linen are still needed,” according to Mrs. Harold
Raizes, fund raising co-ordinator of the Hous-
ton Chapter, who also said that guests at the

Fuehrer Rockwell Fitts
in Houston; Shoves Off
George Lincoln Rockwell,
self-styled fuehrer of the Amer-
ican Nazi Party, flitted into
Houston Saturday, March 10th
after his stormy reception on
the Pacific Coast. On his arrival
Rockwell told reporters that he
came to Houston to get in the
thick of things. “Houston,” he
said, “is a hot bed of rightism,
conservatism, and Naziism. You
have a pretty good bunch of
people here and I came to do
what I can in getting organ-
ized here."
That he did. He was flitting
in and out of places, seeing
some of the rightist leaders in
the community and doing his
best to convince them that he
was the only hope they had.
His first contact in Houston
was Charles Ray, announcer
and sometimes newscaster for
a local radio station. Ray ar-
ranged some of the interviews
for the American “fuehrer”
with local news and TV outlets,
pointing out that he met Rock-
well in Louisiana when he
(Ray) was a public relations
man for the late Earl Long.
Although Ray tried to im-
press upon newsmen that his
arrangements of visits and in-
terviews were in no way an en-
dorsement of Rockwell’s views,
it seems that some of the meet-
ings with certain “influential
rightist leaders” were arranged
by Ray. During the interviews

Algiers (JTA) — Six Jews
were killed and seven seriously
wounded this week in the
mounting clashes between the
European underground OAS
and the Algerian Moslems.
The list of Jewish dead in-
cluded two each in Oran and
Algiers and one each in Mas-
cara and Constantine. As a
French-Moslem cease-fire near-
ed, the OAS stepped up its at-
tacks and commandos of the
Moslem rebel FLN responded
with reprisals. Tension was
particularly high in the Jewish
quarter of Oran where Jews
were under frequent attacks by
FLN members.
Jews in Oran struggled to

He also said that the French
settlers were not likely to accept
the terms of the agreement
peaceably and that in many
places, Algerian Jews had iden-

tremists of the OAS, the Euro-
pean underground which vio-
lently opposes an independent

Two most sacred holy days in
the Christian and Jewish reli-

day: Good Friday and the sec-

George Rockwell, the leader of
the anti-Semitic American Nazi

hold a public meeting in New
York’s Union Square . . . His
application for a permit to hold
that meeting is still under con-

ever, bolstered by a U.S. Su-

his right to speak, Rockwell ob-
viously anticipates he will re-

being advocated by the Ameri-

Speaking at a meeting of the

guarantees, which are under-

by Algerian rebel leaders with
France, would be “an invalu-

enable Jews wishing to leave
