First question raised by Mr. Rosenthal was that my letter in the November 10 issue was “void of any consideration ofl fa<Hs.” It was based ori facts to the persons ow the Middle East and who rhat-was going on there, es- r during the war. As an example, I would like to piention the following incident to curity.
