the religious and of -religious Jewish organizations
are basing their fight against the observance of Christ-
mas in the' public schools on the principle' of separa-
tion of church and state. But at the same time, in.
Israel-a country which all these public bodies hold
up as a model of perfect Jewish life, to be emulated
by all Jews in the world-this principle is despised, .
banned and violated in' the most flagrant manner ..
If the separation of church and state is so,vital that it
determines the very existence of a democracy, why
is it forbidden by law in Israel? .. Will such tactics
help the Jewish `defense' agendes "in their defense
of ;American Jews against antisetnitism which their
own actions are sure ? to bring about?"

Mr. Bissell took one of his university degrees at
the London School of Economics in 1932-33, the hey-
day of avowed Marxist Harold Laski, from whom, his
entire career indicates, he learned his lessons well.
From 1949.51 he was assistant apd then acting Ad-
ministrator.of the tconomic Cooperation Administra-
tion ("foreign aid"), where he stood for uncondi-
tioned largesse to all nations. He is consultant to the
Social Research Council, which has financed so many
hundreds of left-wing Ideologues. Mr. Bissell, a Waph-
ington resident, is socially linked to the Washington
Post set; and Mr. Bissell is a Democrat,,
Robert Matteson is, it is 'true, a Republican: a
Stassen Republican. For nearly two decades, until
Harold Stassen's departure from Washington a few
months -ago, Mr. Matteson was his aide, confidant
And brain truster. As such, he performed one of his
last 'and typical services as Mr. Stassen's assistant at
the incredible London conference on disarmament.
