Rita Hauser-Nixon’s Appointee
To UN Human Rights Body
By JACK SIEGEL
A Seven Arts Feature
Rita Hauser is young (34), is
pretty, is smart. And was just ap
pointed by Mr. Nixon as the
United States Representative to
the Human Rights Commission of
the United Nations. In addition,
she is the mother of two chil
dren and is a partner in a New
Vork law firm. Her husband is
a Corporation Executive.
One of her first statements on
her appointment was she intend
ed to take up the matter of the
Iraqui Jews at the forthcoming
meeting of the Commission in
Geneva. The agenda, of course,
includes other matters of world
concern and importance.
How did she get the job, she
was asked.
Mr. Nixon, she said, asked her
what she wanted to do and she
requested an assignment in the
area of human rights.
But how did she get the job,
she was asked again. How did
Mr. Nixon know you?
She was one of the New York
Chairmen for Nixon campaign
during the past election. But this
is not a payoff. Mrs. Hauser
comes to the job with the fol
lowing qualifications: Bachelor’s
(even women get them) Degree

ATLANTA JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
Fab.JM4ar.7,1«,21
from Hunter, a law degree from
Harvard, graduate studies in the
University of Strassbourg and
Paris, Economics in the first and
law in the second. She is fluent
in French and Spanish and while
studying in Paris met many of
the Arab students, from the then
French colonies like Morocco and
Tunisia. She has since travelled
even more widely, with particu
lar interests in Africa and the
Caribbean.
As a lawyer, she was interested
and involved in civil rights, rep
resenting people who needed de
fense. She worked for John Lind
say and defined herself as a kind
of “Javitz Republican.” With
such interest in that kind of prob
lem, it was suggested that, ac
cording to the common image, she
would more likely be a Demo
crat. She has, she said, faith in
her party and its potential for
doing important things. Her con
cern for Human Rights is gen
eral but she believes that the rise
and fall of the United States and
its relations worldwide depends
on what is done in Africa and
with Blacks at home.
Regarding the Agenda in Gen
eva, she said there were treaties
which required ratification: on
Genocide, on Slavery, and on po
litical Rights For Women.
Are there many areas in the
world where women are deprived
of their political rights?
Many, she said in Africa and
Asia. Likewise on this side of
the world. Slavery, to most
Americans associated with the
times before the Civil War, still
exists in many parts of the
world. Saudi Arabia 7 * she was
asked. She didn’t specify any one
area but wherever it existed, it
had to be attacked as a prob
lem.
What kind of cooperation did
she expect from the Russians, the
other superpower with a repres
entative on the Human Rights
Commission? She did not make
any anticipations but there was
one area in which they are sen
sitive, she said, where they have
refused to sign a treaty ... on
Slave Labor.
You are very busy, she was
told, what do you do for an en
core?
Pardon? she asked.
Do you cook? Love to, she said
and to be with my family. She
reads a great deal, mostly mod
ern novels, and numbers among
her friends contemporary French
writers.
Will you stop in Paris on your
return. Yes, she said. Will you
see The Old Man? He likes pret
ty women.
De Gaulle? She laughed and
said she didn’t think she’d meet
him.
She introduced the interviewer
to her partner, a young man very
active in the New York Chapter
of the American Jewish Com
mittee. And then said goodbye.
Mrs. Hauser will be filling the
shoes, among others, of Mrs.
Roosevelt. That’s a big job but
she seemed able and confident.
And certainly eager.

I take my hat off to Hal Wal

Sir:
Your editorial November 22

might well have been written by
Al Ahram in Cairo.

times as numerous, have nine
times the Israel GNP and repre
sent an incalculably greater
amount of U. S. investment po
tential as well as actual." There

idealistic considerations. Is our
foreign policy to be based on
where is the greatest GNP? And
what is meant by “We have not
and should not commit ourselves
to any and every adventurism
that Israel might be tempted to."
Do you really believe the Israelis
are playing games or enjoying
adventures? Do you really be
lieve they set out to “adventur
ism” with the enormous cost in
money and lives it entails and
which they can ill afford, because
they enjoy it?
I take exception also to your
dogmatic statement “they also in
clude the integrity of the Arab
boundaries that Israel has Vio
lated ever since the June war.”
Your head must be buried deep
in the sand, Arabian sand, or
surely you would have heard or
read in your own magazine of
the Fedayecn, El Fatah, the lion
izing of the Jordanian comman
does who daily raid Israeli vil
lages, killing innocent people and,
together with their Egyptian
counterparts, continue a constant
reign of terror on Israeli terri
tory. Why then, “the Arab
boundaries that Israel has vio
lated ever since the June ioar?”
I have not previously seen so
biased an editorial in Life. And
it is to be hoped that U. S. for
eign policy trill continue to be
made by the government ntid not
by Life.

PURIM OUI 2
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
Copyright 1969, JTA
QUESTION: What Ls a “Purlm
Rabbi”?
ANSWER: In medieval times it
seemed to have become a custom
to disguise individuals in roles
other than their usual occupa
tions during the period of Purim
festivity. We thus find “Purim
Kings” in France and in Ger
many. These “kings” evidently
ruled for the day of Purim as a
sort of “King for a Day.” Like
wise, there developed the custom
of having a “Purim Rabbi” in
Germany and Holland who was
sort of a “Rabbi for a Day.” Ac
cording to some, the later custom
became prevalent in the famous
Yeshiva of Volhozin. However,
some writers denied that it ever
existed there, claiming that what
ever was known was only hear
say. The general idea seemed to
have stemmed from the fact that
in the original Episode of the
Book of Esther, the chief actors
who appeared on the scene were
only erstwhile while the real par
ticipants in, the drama were hid
den realities. G-d himself, who
shapes human destiny in His Di
vine Providence, does not even
have His Divine name mention
ed in the Book of Esther. Some
writers claim, furthermore, that
this kind of hilarity gave vent
to the emotions of subjects that
were under some type of restric
tive control by their Rabbis. It
is claimed by some that the orig
inal customs were supended in
some places because at times,
they gave rise to embarassing ep
isodes. An example of the latter
was a situation in Minsk where
the situation “got out of hand”
once and the community voted
to abolish the practice.
QUESTION: What are Ham-
antashen?
ANSWER: Currently these are
three-cornered baked dough fill
ed with poppy seeds. They are
eaten on Purim. Their association
with Purim is due to a number
of reasons. Some claim that the
term Haman-Tash is merely a
corruption of the name “Man-
Tash,” i.e. a “pocket full of
seeds.” Since it became custom
ary to eat them on Purim, the
name was easily changed to
Haman-Tash to associate it with
the evil Haman of the Book of
Esther. The name“Haman-Tash”
in such a case would be taken
to mean “the weakening of Ha
man” because the word “Tash”
in Hebrew stems from a root
meaning “to weaken.” Some call
this delicacy the “ear of Haman.”
Don Isaac Abarbanel mentions
such delicacies that are baked in
the form of human ears and
dipped in honey (Abarbanel,
Commentary of the Pentateuch,
B’Shalach). Immanuel of Rome
claims that they are eaten as
symbols of Haman’s ears because
there is a legend that the Jews
cut off Haman’s ears after he
was hanged. This was perhaps
based on an old Italian law
whereby it was ordained that the
ears of a thief were to be cut off
if he were caught. It is hardly
likely that this occured since such
a practice was never a part of
Jewish law which prohibits the
defilement of a corpse in any
way. Some claim that the Haman
Tashen are three-cornered be
cause the three Patriarch’s served
as a source of Grace to bring de
feat on the evil Haman.
