is a fictionalized version of the Chanuka story, depicting the events of twenty-five hundred years ago that led to the Jewish revolt against the Romans and the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem — an event that is celebrated annually in Jewish households throughout the world. The story portrays the personalities and backgrounds of each of the Maccaljee brothers, who led the successful revolt against Rome.

In a pre-publication review. Publisher's Weekly said of "The Dog That Flew": "The title story, one of eleven in this anthology, is an unusual and moving one about the mascot of dn Israeli air force squadron. All eleven are concerned in one way or another with the various aspects of childhood and life in Israel."

Uruguayan Jewish leader visits N.Y.
NEW TOEK ^ Mr. and Mrs. Jorge Starcsewsky of Uruguay were in New York recently to meet leaders of World Jewish Congress. Mr. Starcsewsky is a vice-president of Jewish Central Committee of Uruguay and a member of South American executive of WJC.
Mr.   Starcsewsky reported that anti-Semitism was ciirr rently not a problem in Uruguay, but that Arab propaganda was beginning to make itself heard. Uruguay, however, would be a poor field for the activities of anti-Semitic propaganda, he said. A recent result of the work of the Uruguayan Jewish Central Committee   was   a resolution adopted by an inter-parliamentary commission of the Organization of American States drawing attention to discriminatory practises against Jews in the Soviet Union.
One of the main concerns of the Jewish commimity of Uruguay at the present time, he said, was education. Only 20 percent of the Jewish children of the country received a Jewish education of some kind.
The Uruguayan Jewish community numbers 50,000, most of whom live in Montevideo.

RULING
(Continued from Page 1)
cises in public schools, asserting: "Government has no more right to place a public park at the disposal of the majority for a popular religious display than it would have, in response to a referendum vote, to put a lighted cross on the city hall steeple.
"The whole point of separation of church and state in a pluralistic society is to keep the majority from tising its coercive power to obtain governmental aid for or against sectarian religious observances."
The cross was built in 1964 atop Skinner Butte, a knoll at the north end of the city. It is made of reinforced concrete and is diecorated with recessed neon Ughts."
