+JmlS* flortdUan d **<** <* Hollywood Friday July 5, 1 Soviet Jewry i When Western Pressure Mounts, It Counts By FRAN NEVINS Exit visas have finally been is- sued to Professor David Azbel, his wife and son. Azbel recently Completed a marathon hunger strike which attracted world wide attention. Also granted a visa and now in Israel are Yankcl Khantsis, who spent a two-year term in prison, and Valery Kukui. who was imprisoned for three years. HOWEVER, hundreds upon hundreds of visas are being de- nied. Many must wait years in discomfort and humiliation hop- ing for the dream of Israel to come true. While waiting, they are harassed. Yuri and Anna Bcrkovsky. lead- ing activists in Novosibirsk, were arrested recently after a search of their flat. Unemployed since 1172 (date of application), the Berkovskys went to a legal mar- ket to sell som" of their belong- ings to buy food. They were close- ly watched and photographed. While they were gone, the KGB searched their aDartment. found a revolver, and arrested the couple. Their daughter was given into the custody of her grand- parents and the apartment was sealed. The couple, now awating trial, previously conducted Hebrew les- sons in their aoartment and help- ed prepare other Jews in the community to leave Russia. The Novosibirsk community has al- ways been small, and this most recent harassment makes it even weaker. Please write in their be- half. ALSO NEEDING support is Prof. Alexander Tiemkin (Dent. of Physics and Astronomy. Tel Aviv University) who is still try- ing to get his daughter Marina, 14, to join him. Marina has been given "special drugs which have an injurious effect on her psy- chology." Given drugs to provoke hal- lucinations, Marina seems to have an artificially-induced psychosis, said Tiemkin. Boca Raton Leader Named To UAHC's National Board NEW YORK, NY. A. D. Stein of Boca Raton has been named to the national board of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, oldest congrega- tional body in North America, representing 715 Reform syna- gogues and serving 1.1 million congregants. A lay leader who has been pro- minently identified with various phases of the religious movement both through his own Boca Ra- ton Hebrew Congregation, the L'AHC region and the national institution, Mr. Stein was named at the UAHC's recent spring board meeting in New York.

Prof Tiemkin has ap- pealed to Soviet leader Brezhnev as well as his ex-wife but to no avail. IN MOSCOW, Victor Pol=ky re- mains in danger of being im- prisoned for a maximum of three years. The indictment charges Polsky with "violation of rules of safe movement or operation of transport." II" is said to have caused an accident involving a 19-yearo!d who had suicidal tendencies. Friend* of Polsky are concern- ed that Moscow authorities will disregard favorable witnesses who were at the scene and will frame Polsky in order to im- prison him. Since he is one of the oldast Otkazniki ("refuse- niks") and veil known among concerned Soviet Jews, this mat- ter is very serious in its implica- tioaa for the Jewish movement.

SUMMER FOR many of us means travel and vacation, new experiences, or 11 haDs jufl tak- ing it easy. However, for Soviet Jews, the heat is still on. more than ever. Taking it easy is im- possible. Because of President Nixon's visit this summer, many activists are being arrested and imprison- ed to decrease th;' chance of demonstrations. Since this is a common practice in the Soviet Union, it i* necessary for us, free and concerned Jews, to be out- spoken about our views and con- vey them to our elected officials. SOMETIMES it is hard for us to believe that our single letter, phone call or telegram can be of any benefit. This is not so. When Western pressure mounts, it counts.

He had lost the wse" of tits legs and he kept lapsing Into unconscious- They carried him back to his bare cell in the lowest reaches of the prison. It was deep winter in Russia and the unheated dun- geon was bitterly cold. They de- posited him in a heap on the cement floor. DURING THE night, a guard doused the prisoner with water to revive him. The water turned to ice and froze him fast to the floor. It became a daily routine. Each night the prisoner would be soaked, and each morning the guard would pry his semi-cons- cious body loose with a spade. This could be the scene from a bad melodrama set in the Middle Ages. It is, in fact, part of the life story of Yaakov Kluntsis. aijed 47, who was imprisoned in the Soviet Union on May 18. 1970. a robustly healthy man. and emerged nearly four years later an invalid. In March, 1970 Khantsis, a truck driver in Kishinev, had two wishes: to move to Israel and when this request was denied, to find out why. HE STILL wonders how these simple desires could have in- furiated the authorities to the point of snatching away his free- dom, cutting him off from his family, beating him. torturing him. keeping him alone in a dark and frigid cage for 18 months, starving him. maiming and crip- pling him, treating him like a lunatic, and in the end trying to trick him into misdeeds that would prolong their hold on him. In his flat on the edge of Hai- fa's unlovely industrial plane, he told his story to a stranger for the first timea four year cata- logue of horrors that eclipses the first 43 years of his life, and dominates his consciousness whenever he reaches for his crutches to rise. The ordeal of Yankel Khantsis, as he was then known, began in May. 1970. when he journeyed to the state offices in Moscow to demand a reason for the rejection of his request for a visa. NCJW National Board Holds Annual Meeting In New York The National Board of the Na- tional Council of Jewish Women, at the conclusion of its four-day annual meeting in New York, ex- pressed disagreement with Presi- dent Nixon's recently articulated policy on detente, an apparent withdrawal from an earlier U.S. position of concern for Soviet Jews. Eleanor Marvin, national presi- dent of NCJW, stated that "a repressive campaign to restrict emigration in the face of a known backlog of thousands of requests for exit visas underscores the sharp deterioration of the condi- tion of Soviet Jews. "The granting of a visa to Va lery Panov and his wife Galina Ragozina clearly reflects a po- litical gesture on the eve of President Nixon"s trip. This ac- tion also demonstrates that manifestations of concern for the peoples of the world by organiza- tion;, international bodies, or even governments can scarcely he considered interference in the internal affairs of other nations and do have a positive result on [ the cause of human rights." she i said. The board, the hitrhe't nolicv- making authority of NCJW, call- ed upon the American govern merit to seek everv npportuiiy \ to persuade the USSR to grant to its citizens basic cultural, re ligious and human freedoms, in- tluding the right tn emigrate. In addition, thf hnjrd encotir- jagrd President Nixnn to take full (advantage of his diplomatic prerogative! on hi forthcoming Jnn-to convey such an appeal to the highest levels of Soviet iU-j thority. In a separate action, the board nended the rvtrnordinarv mansfrip of Secretary of s Henry A.

On the subject o' "ivacy, Mrs. Marvtll said, "Rev'-t'o^s of il- lec;at wiretapping. jr-veUlance by the military forces ~"1 "thi*r gov- ernment agencies, r~d a compila- tion of personal information by government and private groups, indicate a most serious threat to personal privacy. "We urge Congress to enact legislation to prohibit secret rec- ord-keeping systems and improp- er use of information, to give easy access to records and feas- ible means of correcting inac- curacies. Without such safe- guards, individual rights of privacy are endangered." The board expressed concern over the failure of Congress to enact legislation providing am- nesty to all those young men put in legal jeopardy by their resist- ance to the war in Indo-China. Prompt action on this issue was strongly urged. The National Council of Jew- ish Women, founded in 1893. is one of the oldest major American Jewish women's organizations. Its 100.000 members are committed to a broad program of commu- nity service, social and legislative action and education both in the United States and in Israel He was told to get out. He then went to a foreign consulate to seek i.Vercession, and when he left the building he was seized, thrown to the pavement, beaten and kicked in the ribs. HE CRAWLED for refuge under what turned out to be a police car. Two policemen hauled him out. struggling, forced him into the car and choked him into sub- mission. He was taken first to the Botkin Clinic and then to a jail, where he was locked up for the night before being taken to another jail a three-day drive from Moscow. Two days later, he was in the hands of the KGB secret police at Petrovka, where he was con- ducted to the basement. His jail- lers told him he was to be pun- ished for going to the foreign consulate, and then beat him about the face and head with brass knuckledusters. They told him that orders had come from above" that he was to be charged with hooliganism and given two years in prison. They permitted him to write a letter to his wife. Niza. telling her to visit him and wait for his trial in Moscow. SHE WAS to bring their daugh- ter, Golda. and their son. Leonid, then aged 19 and 14 respectively. However, the family was not permitted to witness his trial on Aug. 17. He was convicted on the evidence that he had struggled with police near the foreign con- sulate, and had kicked their car. The sentence was two-and-a half years, handed down without benefit of counsel for the prison- er, who refused a lawyer. The court made no effort to press one on him. KHANTSIS was taken to Vietlak camp No. 231 25 in the XJral Mountains, under "tltrict regime." He shared a barrack with 119 murders, theives and other felons. He was the only Jew.

Volume 4 Friday, July 5, 1974 Number 13 15 TAMUZ 5734 Questions For Mr. Nixon In 1972 when President Nixon visited the Soviet Union, Jewish activists were arrested. Mr. Nixon has vis- ited the Soviet Union again and over thirty Jewish acti- vists have been imprisoned and all activists' telephones have been "temporarily disconnected." The President announced at the Annapolis graduation that we have no right to interfere in the internal policies of other countries, and yet, at the same time, the Soviet Union is a participant of the Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations which guarantees emigration of citi- zens to countries or their choice. Immigration from the So- viet Union has been cut 50% during the first six months of 1974 compared to the same period during 1973. One should ask Mr. Nixon if since we are not to be involved in the internal affairs of other countries, why then were we involved in Viet Nam why have we sent troops to Lebanon. Guatemala, Dominican Republic and Cuba? Are we not, as Americans, vitally interested in the rights and freedom of people everywhere? How can we have true detente with a country where detente is strictly one way our giving to them? Can we stand by idly while people are imprisoned and harassed for no other reason than their wish to live in freedom as Jews? Mr. President, how do you answer these questions? SALT for Our Wounds Hardly has he returned from the Middle East, then President Nixon is off again this time to Moscow. Some pretty shocking things emerged out of the Pres- ident's talks with Arab leaders, like the atomic arrange- ments with Egypt, for example. And these were announced statements and positions one can only wonder about what was more shocking and unannounced. All of which is by way of saying even before the President gets down to business in Moscow that Amer- icans must once and for all come to be assured that the administration will not be "unannouncing" them into the poor house at best and to death at worst. These extremes pretty much run the gamut of our na- tional concerns commercial agreements with the Com- munists and arms limitations agreements, too. The Nixon wheat deal of more than a year ago is breaking our backs at the supermarket today. It proves that Communists can outdo the capitalists when they've a mind to. We can only pray that, this time, the President does not rub SALT into that and other yet-to-be unannounced wounds. For the Jewish community, there are special concerns: the exit of Jews from the Soviet Union and the new Middle East "detente." We have more potential wounds than other Americans, and we hope Mr. Nixon is tender with them in Moscow. Equality for Women Beth David Congregation's move to give full and equal rights to its women congregants, including being counted in the Minyan, is both novel and revolutionary. Spiritual leader Rabbi Sol Landau initiated implemen- tation of the move following the majority opinion rendered by the Law Committee of the Rabbinical Assembly last fall. Not everyone at Beth David is satisfied. Some con- gregants have divided feelings about it. Still, a Miami synagogue is taking a unique stand on a modern issue. While the Bible speaks of the "Woman of Valor," Jewish tradition in practice has lagged far behind in the matter of women's equality. Whether or not the Beth David move will hurry up the women's rights drive in Jewish religious matters is now open to the community's observation. A T LEAST I shall never forget -^ the look on President Nixon's face when that belly-dancer hov- ered over him during Anwar Sa- dat's festivities staged for the Nixon visit in Egypt. Or Henry Kissinger's eyes when the belly-dancer, in an out- burst of erotic affectation, ran her fingers through his hair. BOTH MEN trod the line be- tween proper embarrassment and ill-disguised salaciousness. It was good to see that America's leaders are frankly human. But the belly-dancer speaks volumes beyond either of their looks in response to the bland- ishments of Eros. She was part of a carefully-planned celebration, and to be sure, her role was merely to provide some diver- tissement from the presumed ri- gors of the Nixon-Sadat talks. After all, men do have a right to relax. WHAT I AM getting at is that the way in which men relax says much about their culture and ci- vilization We pass judgment on the Ro- mans by staging a brutal gladia- torial match in the Colosseum between, say, Charlton Heston and Stephen Bo>u. and then cap it by filming a concluding thumbs-down scene in which the shrieking crowd demands the blood of the vanquished "cow- ard." We pass judgment on our- selves by showing a beer-glazed American popping peanuts as he watches a football game on tele- vision on a Sunday afternoon and then flakes out in a euphoria of alcohol as thp crowds leave the arena for home. THIS DOES not mean that the Romans did not have a Cicero, a Virgil, an Epictetus. Or that we don't have a Jeffer- son, a Wallace Stevens, an Emer son or Pierce. What it does mean is that the Romans were cruel and without compassion, and that we are ex- hausted by our search for hap- piness in triviality. If we were to pursue the point, we might say that, certainly, we have progressed beyond the Ro- mans. TODAY'S FOOTBALL player is yesterday's gladiator, except that we bar human sacrifice, the spilling of blood as proof of man's mastery over himself. The football game abstracts our atavistic cruelties into a so- cially acceptable symbol: the bone crushing scrimmage, the decapitating tackle and, the ul- timate triumph, the touchdown. BUT THE truth is that our beer-glazed American, in his pur- suit of pleasure, is not far re- moved from the Roman who went to the Colosseum to see a killing. He is just as intent on murdering" the "enemy." And he is just as intent on murdering himself as a conscious being, whether through beer in front of the television set. or by merging with and becoming a part of the mass hysteria at the arena. And so. we can draw some pretty pessimistic conclusions about ourselves as a people and in parallel with the Roman decline and fall, if we wish. AND ALL of this trom a Sun day afternoon in the Colosseum or at a football game. To return to the original point: The belly-dancer speaks volumes not only about President Nixon and Dr. Kissinger, but also about the Egyptians themselves, particularly President Sadat, who obviously gave his approval that the Nixon-Kissinger team should be entertained in that way. And also, of course, about the Israelis. WHAT THE belly-dancer says can best be understood in con- trast to the Israelis and the cere- mony they staged for President Nixon at Yad Vashem. In Cairo, regaled by flesh, the President was torn between the frank delight of his human feel- LTMMt mmmtmm < Mindlin . --.1 taXTUUBflHssI I ing and his "Thou Shalt Not" Christian imperative -d "Thou Shalt Not" take delight in the passionate moment, especially not when hundreds of millions of people are watching you. At Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, it was not flesh with which he was regaled, but the word. At Yad Vashem, the President was invited to "enjoy" himself in a singularly Jewish way with an intellectual and judgmental eye on history. Continued on Page 13 As Max Lerner Sees It By MAX LERNER LA JOLLA, Calif. If the United States meets the fate of the Roman Empire in its decline and fall, some will- assign it to the fleshpots of New York, some to the corruptions of Washington. But there is a sizable group which will pick the expanse of ocean, mountains and cities of the plain that we call California. Which will be right? All of them. And all will be wrong. New York stands as a symbol of economic power, the intellec- tual elite and the communications empire. WASHINGTON STANDS for political power and the polit- ical elite. California is the end of the road where extremes meet, illusions fuse and anything is possible. Each is a source of decay and the death drive. But each also is an envelope through which the life force bursts, stream- ing across the nation. The point about America, which both its haters and lovers miss, is that the death drives and the life forces operate in it together, interlocked in a mortal embrace. I have half-adopted California this spring quarter, commut- ing from New York City to teach here. No one who exposes himself to this state for even a brief stretch ever remains the same. Not that I shall ever give up New York, whose roots are in me as mine are in it the New York that E. B. White wrote about, "which not to have known would be like death." BUT CALIFORNIA is in truth, in this latterday-era, the Newfound Land of Americans, whose dreams start and end with it, whose violence and creativeness seem part of its backdrop, and who frels less absurd about acting out their fantasy life here than wherever they come from. The evidence for decline and fall seems to be written large enough for anyone to read. Take the political kidnaping of Patricia Hearst, the huge food handout, the SLA shootout with the Los Angcies police, the latest tape in which she expresses her defiance, the legends growing around the whole episode. Granted that It could have happened anywhere but It did happen in California. OR TAKE the cults and the occultism. Most historians link the decline of Rome with the bizarre religious cults that arose toward the end of the Empire. America today witnesses a mushrooming of cults of gurus sacred and profane, of devil possession, of exorcism. They are everywhere, but mostiy in California. Or take open sexuality. There is a persistent belief among the ir.ora.ists that, more than anything else, Rome fell victim to sexual decadence. Sex is getting pretty open around the country, as any his- torian of the current erotic breakthrough will testify. But there is only one Sandstone. SEVERAL YEARS ago I interviewed its founders John and Sue Williamson to learn something about their philoso- phy. They felt that the taboos we place around candid and open sex are the source of many of our neuroses. They ran into legal troubles and had to abandon their ex- periment of direct sexual encounters in the setting of a ranch- house club. But it has just reopened with a grand fanfare, graced by talks from Gay Takse and Dr. Alex Comfort a stranger com- mencement than any being held anywhere this June. COMFORT IS an English poet, novelist, gerontologist and a visiting savant at the Center for the Study of Democratic Insti- tutions at Santa Barbara, as well as the author of the joyously written "Joy of Sex," which may be found as a pillow book in a couple of million American households, pads and hideouts. He feels I gather from a published interview that the privacy with which we continue to invest the sexual act is the expression of our hostile fear of strangers. I should myself have thought that it is our way of keeping our sense of uniqueness, even as we strain to break our lowli- ness by reaching out sexually for another person. THERE IS MUCH of the gullible and credulous in Calttor- nia along with the energy and violence, the revolutionary liays- tique, the cult of sexuality. But there is also a genuine effort to reach out for the life force beyond the familiar and accepted, even beyond the world of the senses into whatever lies there. Nor is it true only in California. With all our miseries, there is still something in America that draws the world's ener- gies to it, and some of the world's best minds and spirits. 1 We see America now for what it is a society corruptible, incalculable, impossible which makes it still the-fabulous country.

Mr. Haber. who addressed the B'nai B'rith women at the opening session, characterized the JDC as an agency which has organized pro- grams of rescue, relief and reha- bilitation for Jews in need "any where in the world" since the creation of the JDC in 1914. DURING THOSE years, the JDC brought aid and comfort at one time or another to needy Jews in some 70 countries at a cost of over $1 billion, Mr. Haber said. "This year alone we are bringing help to some 350,000 Jews in some 25 countries and will be spending about $30 million," he added. The JDC receives the bulk of its funds from the cam- paigns of the United Jewish Ap- peal. Mr. Haber noted that the Jew- ish world has changed drastically since 1914. "Our Jewish geogra- phy today is vastly different. Not only because of the great tragedy of the loss of six million but since the end of World War II vast displ./ements of our people have also taken place. Our generation . has been characterized as one of flight and rescue," he said. 4n the Moslem/Arab world in North Africa and the Middle East there were close to one million Jews in 1948. Mr. Haber said. There are today fewer than SAMUtl HABER 152,000. Most of them emigrated to Israel. Some, especially those who lived in Algeria, made their way to France. Despite the sharp reduction in the Jewish popula- tion of that area JDC still car- ries on widespread health, wel- fare and educational programs in Morocco. Tunisia and Iran. It also manages to channel some relief to the entrapped and imperiled Jews of Syria, he added. EVEN GREATER changes have taken place in Eastern Europe, Mr. Haber said. "Almost without interruption during 60 years of our work JDC has carried on a program in Eastern Europe, Even in the bleakest days of the War- saw ghetto, of the concentration camps, we managed to bring some help to stricken Jews and our effort to rescue them never faltered." In Rumania, after an absence of 18 vears JDC was invited to resume operations in 1967 by the Government. "This is the only country in Eastern Europe ex- cept for Yugoslavia where we have an open program directly operated and controlled by the JDC." he said. This program is currently providing a broad range of aid to some 18,000 of the 90,000 Jews in that country. In Western Europe virtually all of the Jewish communities have been rebuilt and require little additional help from the JDC, he said. France is the one exception, he added. There was a tremen- dous influx of refugees into France after World War II, rais- ing the population from about 150,000 to about 600,000 today. AS A RESULT, Mr. Haber said, continued JDC aid is needed to help the community solve the problems of integration, jobs and housing for newcomers, most of them from the North African countries. Most important, Mr. Haber said, has been JDC's work in Is- rael, where the agency has al- located close to 40 per cent of its annual budget. JDC has de- veloped programs for the aged, for handicapped children, f or chronically and mentally ill. It has developed programs for train- ing professionals and other man- power for various health and wel- fare agencies and has provided financial aid for over 150 yeshivot with some 20,000 students. He warned that conditions in Argentina and Chile have dete- riorated and bear watching and noted more limited programs in India. Shanghai and Spain and Portugal, all of which are im- portart "in the survival of Jewry."

Marcia is about as oriental as a lady can be when her family comes from Alabama. WHEN HER grandfather, Joseph Cohen, arrived from Rus- sia to settle in a small Alabama town populated by only 1,500 people, there was one other Jew- ish family in residence. It was Inevitable he choose his bride from that family. Joseph, who graduated from Auburn Univer- sity with honors in chemistry, was both brilliant and quiet. "I was always around him," Marcia says. "When he talked, you listened. He made me an ware person." THERE'S another aware per- son in Marcia Tobin's family. Her name is Jennifer, she's Mi years old and even though she appears to be busily painting her toenails green with crayons, her ears are tuned in. When asked by her mother how she knew the answer to an eavesdropping subject, Jennifer answered, "I thought to my brain." Marcia Tobin thinks to her brain, too. That's why she will be Presi- Sapir Named To Chair Jewish Agency Continued from Page 1 gladly have served under Pincus chairmanship. Sapir described the Jewish Agency as a "true and practical expression of the identification of the Jewish people with our en- deavors'' In Israel. "Let us build here a society based on a foundation of social justice, a nation living ir. peace with its neighbors," he declared in his acceptance speech. HE STRESSED the suD-wrt of world Jewry for Israel, observing that "we were all brothers in time of anxiety as well as part- ners in a venture of creation... All Ihi; we have done in accord- ance with the ancient Jewish tra- dition that "all Jews arc respon-, 6ib!e for one another." he said. He had warm praise for Mrg. Heir, referring to her as "This great woman tc whom we all owe so much " The Herut and General Zionist factions abstained when Sapir wai elected WZO Executive chair- man. Prof. Howard Ableson, of Herut, said his group did not vote for Sapir because he opposed a national unity government for Is- rael. HERMAN WEISMAN, of the General Zionists, said his faction had favored Leon Dulzin for the post. Dulzin. who was acting chairman since Pincus' death and who continues to serve as Jewish Agency treasurer, praised Sapir for undertaking leadership of the Zionist movement even though it meant giving up an important government position and pros- pects for an even higher one. Dulzin presented a $701.6 mil- lion Agency budget for the fiscal year that began Apr. 1. dent of JWF Women's Division this year. "I've always been a very active person." At the University of Mi- ami she was president of AE Phi Sorority for two years, won a Student Union Award and ap- peared in "Who's Who." SHE LAUGHS when she re- calls the teasing. "The guys used to call me 'Big Woman On Cam- pus'." Now Marcia Tobin is a big woman in Hollywood Jewish com- munity circles. She moved here nine years ago and taught school until Jennifer's arrival. "That's when I became active in Women's Division. I wanted to get other young wom- en involved. Women starting families like myself." Marcia. who admits to being good at organizing, setting up and managing, held a highly suc- cessful program along with Ellie Katz and Charlotte Brody that year for sixty women. The next year the figure rose to 150. Soon. many women were involved. Women's Leadership Institute evolved and it has mushroomed from there. SHE HAS been Women's Divi- sion Campaign chairman for the past two years. As Marcia says, "The, city was growing and with it, more needs occurred.

"I FIND it difficult to put my Jewishness in words," she said. "If our children see our involve- ment, no matter their age, they become involved." Jennifer Tobin has lit Friday night candles since she was three. She refers to prayers as "talk- ing to G-d." Last October, during the Yom Kippur War when her Mommy was deep into the emer- gency, Marcia asked as she placed her daughter in bed, "Do you want to talk to G-d?" "Yes. I want to tell G-d to tell those Arabs to leave those Jews alone!" OF THE two Tobin ladies, it's Jennifer who prefers to cook! "I like to make a meal in 15-20 minutes." Marcia says. As a re- sult and with the help of a large freezer, she does things like fif- teen quarts of soup and five meat- loaves all at one time. Her real interest is working with her hands: sewing, knitting and needlepoint. As she displays a half-completed work of art, Marcia admonishes, "Jennifer, stop standing on your head." "I'm not. I'm a bridge," she answers up-side-down. AS YOU watch the Tobin- bridge against the wall, your eyes , also take in the crystal fruit bowl | filled with fresh goodies, the linen napkins and most of all, a warm feeling of home. "Making a home is a fulltime job. It's most important," explains Marcia Tobin whose mother also makes her home with the girls. "As much as you work in the community, vou must remember your family." Marcia also remembers some- ' thing her grandfather Joseph said. "You can go anywhere with the truth." ANYWHERE this year is a big job ahead as President of Wom- en's Division.

Kissinger said he bad assumed his top assistant, Undersecretary of State Joseph J. Sisco, or Sisco's deputy Roy Atherton, had men tioned it in diplomatic conversa tions with Israeli envoys in Wash ington. The US-Egyptian negotiations were held quite openly by an Egyptian delegation in Washing- ton in April and senior officials believe that Israeli intelligence was at fault in not having learn- ed of them. THIS IS especially so since stories abott the U.S.-Egypt nu clear accord appeared in two Cairo newspapers in April. Kissinger who sought during the Nixon visit here to allay Is- rael's fears of the deal and placate its anger at not having been informed, told Foreign Min- ister Yigal Allon that a "bureau- cratic mistake" had led to the U.S. failure to inform Israel last week of the impending inclusion of the nuclear deal in the Nixon- Sadat joint communique. Apparently, there had been intention originally of menticJ ing the deal in the communkju BUT NIXON, who sought lend his Mideast visit as muq substance as possible in the fa of criticism at home that it w unnecessary, decided to inclui it, the JTA learned. Kissinger thereupon cabled Si co at home to inform "concern, parties," assuming he would i form the Israel Embassy amo these. But by administrative ovi sight only Congressional and A ministration "concerned partii were informed, and the news the agreement took Israel by s prise. AS TO Israel's fears and doubj the Secretary stressed in priv as in public at his news confel ence here that effective contra would apply to the supply uranium to Egypt. To justify the deal he told raeli leaders that Germany, Brtf ain. France and Canadaas w as Russiahad been waiting line for the chance to sell Egy a reactor. In effect, he said, reactcdj could be bought from any these countries on the cpJ market, with far fewer contr strings attached. DR. STEPHEN M.

By PAUL KERBEL For those of us who don't really have anthing to do this sum- mer, or have free time, here is an opportunity to help the Jews of the Soviet Union: "OPERATION SOVIET JEWRY WRITE- IN." This project plays an extremely important and urgent role in the present Sovidt Union crisis. Its purpose is to provide Soviet Jews with moral support and encouragement and to show the Soviet Government that the Jews of the United States are concerned with their b;ethren. By writing to Soviet Jews, you are increasing their chances of attaining freedom and raising their morale during their effort to gain their humanitarian rights. Dr. Esther Aisenstadt. who was al- lowed to emigrate to Israel said, "The Russians kept 900 cards and oniy let me have 60 of them, but they knew that I had 1,000 friends in America." Here is how you do it!!! 1. The correct way to address a letter to the USSR is: Republic (a., Ukrainian SSR & Latvian SSR) City USSR Street address and apt. number (note: Kv means apt.) La=t name, first name 2. Send letters "registered airmail" with return receipt requested. Ask for insurance on the letter up to $13 its FREE. Say there is something important (such as artwork) in the enve- lope. The registration, postage and receipt request will amount to approximately $1.60. Check at the post office. 3. If the letter is returned, send it to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry for vital documentation. Address is: 200 West 72nd Stieet Suites 30-31/New York 10023. 4. If neither the letter or the receipt is returned after a month, file a 'tiaeer-' at the Post Office. If nothing happens within another month, file a claim for the insurance money which you may receive approximately a month after the claim is made and use the money to send more letters. 5. The most important thing is DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Don't be dis- couraged if you never receive a response because the letter writing serves an extremely important role. Please don't think it's a waste of time. 6. About the letter writing: The initial letter should be written in general terms. State that you received the address from good mutual friends and would be happy to correspond. Keep your letters warm, sympathetic, personal and positive. 7. Commemorate Jewish holidays and other appropriate occasions with your correspondent. 8. Do not discuss political topics or mention any American organi- zations. The tenor of content for the messages never should be anti-Soviet. Tell each person that many people are concerned with their plight and that they should not lose hope. 9. The response you receive will set the tone for further corre- spondence. Some Soviet Jews will write openly while others pre- fer the correspondence be of a more general nature. 10. Be sure to answer all letters received from Soviet Jews prompt- ly! In any event, continue to write! 11. If you receive a letter, we would like to publish it in this paper, so please send it to: Teen Scene/Jewish Floridian c/o Jewish Federation of South Broward 1909 Harrison Street Hollywood 33020 Below is a list of Soviet Jewish activists. Don't pick names from just the top; select names from the whole list. On behalf of our Soviet brethren, thank you for your time and effort. GOOD LUCK!

On Mar. 7. the Constitutional Amendment Subcommittee of the Senate Judicial y Committee held hearings on the abortion proposal. The Orthodox Rabbin- ical Council of America, repre- sented by a single rabbi J. David Bieich of New York's Ye- shiva University testified in support of the Buck.ey amend- ment Rabbi Bieich said that, accord- ing to the ancient religious code of Halacha, unless the mother's life is in imminent danger of be- ing losi, an abortion would be "tantamount to homicide." ORTHODOX JEWRY was therefore listed by both oppon- ents and proponents as support- ers of the Buckley amendment to outlaw abortion in cases where the physical lite of the mother is not at stake. However, an informal poll of Orthodox rabbis in the Washing- ton, D.C., area last March indi- cated that there is no one voice ror trie Rabbinical Council. There were difterences about the definition of "reasonable medi- cal certainty" as well as dis- agreements over the question of mental health. If the Buckley amendment be- comes the law of the land, abor- tion for psychiatric reasons would be outlawed. Rochester's Rabbi Moses Tend- ler, a PhD biologist, a former chairman of the same Medical Ethics Committee and an equal- ly-distinguished academic expert in Orthodox opinion and medi- cine as is Rabbi Bieich, said the danger to the mother need not be "imminent." He said the threat may even be a "remote possibility." THERE WERE only tw areas of complete Orthodox agree- ment: "permissive abortion," as provided under the Supreme Court during the first three months is a violation of Halacha; foetal health, or abnormality in itself, has nothing to do with justification for abortion. The mother's life and to most, her health as well takes prece- dence under Jewish law, and only she is taken into account in making a Rabbinic decision. For Jam, abortion has special significance because of Tay- Sachs. A hereditary affliction of infants, medically classified as "lethal," Tay-Sachs is carried on a gene by one of every 30 Jews of reproductive age having a Eu- ropean ancestry. The child is normal for often as long as a year. Then it be- comes blind, has neurological symptoms such as convulsions and difficulty in swallowing. Deafness and incapacitation, fi- nally ending in a fatal coma, fol- low. These children seldom live longer than five years, usually three or less. ACCORDING TO William Ga- vin, an aide to Sen. Buckley, Tay- Sachs was never taken into ac- count until May 7, when Subcom- mittee witnesses were question- ed about the disease by Ken- tucky's Republican Sen. Marlow Cook. Scientists giving expert testimony described it to the Senators. They said there is no treat- ment nor cure now, and there is none expected within the fore- seeable future. Nonetheless, Ga- vin said, the wording of the Buckley amendment would pro- hibit an abortion in such cases unless the mothers are proven to be in danger of committing sui- cide. Jan Liebman. a Jewish woman ???AskAbe??? QUESTION: What is the mean- ing and origin of the Magen David? ISOBEL C. ISSERLIS Miami Beach ANSWER: According to the Encyclopaedia Judaica, Mager David, Hebrew for Shield of David, is a hexagram (a six point- ed star), formed by two equilat- eral triangles which have the same center and are placed in opposite directions. From as early as the Bronze Age, it was possibly used as an ornament and perhaps as a magical sign in many civilizations and regions as far apart as Meso- potamia and Britain. In the Second Temple period, the hexagram was often used by Jews and non-Jews alike, along- side the pentagram; the five pointed star. On stones found in the excava- tion of the synagogue of Caper- naum on the shores of Lake Kin- Tieret 'second or third century C.E.), the Magen David was fdund side by side with the pentagram and the swastika in its original form prior to its use in reverse by Hitler. Thre is no reason to assume that it was used for any purpose other than decorative. The ornamental use of the hexagram continued in the Mid- dle Aces, especially in Moslem and Christian countries. Some- times drawn with slightly curved lines, it appears in early Byzan- tine and medieval European churches. earlier than its application to the hexagram It occurs as a designa- tion of God in the third benedic- tion after the reading of the Haf- torah and is similar to the expression "Shield of Abraham" in the first benediction of the Amidah. ABE HAWtRN It was only in the 18th and 19th centuries that the hexagram began to be used as a symbol of Judaism. The prime motive be- hind the wide diffusion of the sign appears to have been the desire to find a striking and sim- ple sign to symbolize Judaism. This led to the ascendancy of the Magen David in official use on ritual objects and in many other ways. Almost every syna- gogue used it. Innumerable com- munities and private and charit- able organizations stamped it on their seals and letterheads. From such general use, it was taken by the Zionist movement. The very first issue of "Die Welt," Herzl's Zionist Journal, bore it as its emblem. The Magen David became the symbol of new hopes and a new future of the Jewish People. When the Naiis used it as a "badge of shame" which was to accompany millions on their way to death, it took on a new dimen- sion of depth, uniting suffering and hope. While the State of Israel, in its search for Jewish authenticity, chose the Menorah, a much old- er Jewish symbol, as its emblem, the Magen David was maintained on the national, formerly Zionist, flag. It is now widely used Jewish Ufa. in and a member of the staff of Planned Parenthood, said no opinion of Orthodox law has been officially cited except Rab- bi Bleich's, and for this reason. Orthodox Jewry is listed as an opponent of abortion unless the mother will die from the preg- nancy. Reform and Conservative Jewry have taken united stands against restrictive legislation. Ms. Liebman said she hoped the subcommittee would hold a second hearing for religious tes- timony so other spokespeople for Orthodox Jewry can be heard. "IF MANY rabbis think like Rabbi Tendler," she explained, "I certainly wish they would speak out, because that opinion is not on the record of the Subcommit- tee." However, other opinion is on record in Jewish periodicals. In the Winter, 1968, issue of the Orthodox quarterly, "Tradition," an article, "The Jewish Attitude Toward Abortion," by Dr. Fred Rosner, of the Maimonides Med- ical Center, concludes that: "Abortion is permitted by most Rabbinic authorities where a medical or psychiatric threat to the mother's life exists. Many authorities permit abortion not only if her life is in danger but even if her health may deterio- rate by continuation of the preg- nancy. A small minority of Rab- binic opinion allow therapeutic abortion for reasons such as in- cest, rape tad fear that a mal- formed child may be born." DR. ROSNER pointed out that the last reason cited, the mal- formed child, is permissible be- cause of the effect of such a pregnancy on the mother's health. He also included "an- guish, shame or embarrassment" but stressed that this is a minor- ity view. A "pulpit rabbi" a spiritual leader of a neighbornood congre- gation with no special qualifica- tions said he feels passage of the Buckley amendment would take away his religious options. Declining to be named, he ex- plained. "Suppose I see a woman who was tested and knows her baby will have Tay-Sachs," he said. "She isn't suicidal; she has no previous psychiatric history. But she is so depressed she can't take care of her other children, doesn't cook meals nothing She just sits and broods~ind tries. "IN A CASE like that," h continued, "the way the law i, now, I can tell her that, accord ing to Halacha, it would not be a sin to have an abortion. As a matter of fact, for her own health and for the sake of her other children. Orthodox law may require her to have an abor- tion. "But if the Supreme Court is reversed, it wouldn't matter what I tell her the Halacha says. An abortion would be illegal. My rights as her religious counselor would be taken away by the gov- ernment " Ms. Liebman feels that if more Orthodox Jews aie made aware of the impact of the Buckley amendment on their private lives, they would write letters to the Senate's Constitutional Amendment Subcommittee and permit such opinions to be known. "As of now," she said, "the Rabbinical Council of America and Orthodox Jewry are definite- ly considered to be opposed to abortion unless the mother will die. If that's not true, then the record has got to be changed." Holocaust Must be Studied In Schools, Educator Says By Special Report NEW YORK The American Association for Jewish Education has called for instruction in the Holocaust era to be made "an integral part" of English and so- cial studies curricula in the pub- lic schools. Testifying at a public hearing here last week, AAJE educator Max Nadel said that "if we can- not face the truth and reality of the Holocaustno matter how frightful, shocking or depressing its evil will become blurred and will be ready to reappear in a new generation, in another place, when society goes awry." CONSULTANT to the AAJE's Commission on Jewish Studies in Public Schools, Nadel was invited to testify at a hearing convened by New York State Assemblyman Stephen J. Solarz at American Jewish Congress headquarters. He. reported on a 1970 study of how public school social studies textbooks treated Nazi persecution of minority groups. disclosing that 21 of 45 texts which were examined either slighted, minimized or glossed over the subject, while another 13 omitted it entirely. Many textbook publishers "have encouraged their writers to ignore the Holocaust or to make a vague reference to it as a minor event in a devastating Second World War." Nadel said. THIS ATTITUDE supports the view of teachers who are in- clined to pass over the event quickly and vaguely probably because it seems impossible to view such a catastrophe in his- torical perspective, or with any rationality," he said. "The record is even sadder" in public school English litera- "The Diary of Anne Frank" is "The Diary of Anne Frankk" is the only Holocaust work studied, Nadelhimself a former English department chairman at the Bronx (N.Y.) High School of Sciencedeclared. Even though novels and stories of American Jewish writersto- gether with the works of Black, Hispanic. Asian and other ethnic groupsare now taught in such classes, "we hesitate to teach Holocaust literature," he said. "The reason, I believe, is that we are fearful to do so. We can accept the cruel, the horrible, the gruesome, the absurd in a world of fantasy.'Du* we cacao', do so in a world of reality.t TO FACILITATE the introduc tion of study on the Holocaust in public school courses and in those of Jewish schools and-Chris- tian parochial schools as well Nadel urged that curricula be re- examined; textbooks corrected and, in part, rewritten; and addi- tional works and materials pre pared, particularly in combina tion with audio-visual instruction "The specter of what the Nazis did to their enemies must haunt the world for generations,*' he said, "so that any time man turns brutally against a neighbor he will be halted by a horrifying vision that will stay his hand." ACCUSATIONS fLY ACROSS JHOVf/HWTS Rabbis Hold Conf ab on Beach Raobi Louis Bernstein, presi- dent of the Rabbinical Council of America, the largest Orthodox rabbinic body ir the United States, accused leaders of the Conservative and Reform move- menu of trying to blackmail the Israeli people by implying that financial aid would be condition- al upon Israel's acceptance of their religious ideologies. The charge was vigorously de- nied by the leaders of the two non-Orthodox movements. RABBI ALEXANDER M Schindler. president of the Union of American Hebrew Congrega- tions (Reform), said the charge was "irresponsible and Rabbi Bernstein should either produce the evidence or apologize to Con- servative and Reform leaders," Rabbi Bernstein's remarks were contained in his address at the opening of the RCA's 38th annual national convention at the Caribbean Hotel in Miami Beach. the question of Who is a Jew' would result in a diminution of financial aid to Israel and other boycotts." HE ADDED that "these mes- sages were published in the Jeru- salem Post and other newspa- pers, including the insertion of a telegram to Suulamit Aloni,'' a Cabinet Minister. Rabbi Joseph B. Glazer, exec- utive vice president of the Cen- tral Conference of American Rabbis, the rabbinic branch of Reform Judaism, called Rabbi Bernstein's accusation "utterly false." "deeply resented" and "disappointing in terms of what seems to be an attempt to twist what we are doing." Rabbi Glazer said the Reform movement has been "extremely careful to avoid any kind of co ercive element in our stand on the subject." organizations, denied the charge of blackmail. They said Rabbi Bernstein was apparently referring to a tele- g-am sent May 6 to the leaders of the three political parties in Premier Yitzhak Rabin's coali- tion government urging that a Law of Return not be changed since it would mean that Reform and Conservative Jews in Israel and abroad would be classified as "second class" Jews. They noted that the telegram warned that if these Jews be came "second class" it would have a "deleterious effect: on moral, political and financial sup port of Israel." RABBI KELMAN said this statement was not. intended^ to lessen support "of; Israel in jany way. Rabbi Segal said this was not blackmail but a realistic ap- praisal of how some Jews might feel.

(JTA) Declar- ing that the halachic positions of Orthodox rabbis "can no longer be accepted as valid expressions -o4 Jewish living," a Conservative rabbi here has announced he will no longer accept Orthodox con- versions or divorces as valid. Rabbi .Mordecai Kieffer, of Congregation Brith Sholom, also announced that Jews bringing hira documents attesting Ortho- rndex-^erevBrsieo "will have to un- dergo immersion in a Mikveh . under my supervision." HE ALSO declared, in a state- ment in his synagogue bulletin, that divorce documents signed by an Orthodox Beth Din (rabbin- ical court) "will have to be re- written by the Beth Din of the .Rabbinical Assembly," the asso- - ciation of Conservative rabbis. He said, "these steps are nec- essary to insure that the halacha has been faithfully followed, an assurance which the Orthodox rabbinate is no longer in a posi- tion to provide." He said, "I now declare them to be out of bounds." RABBI KIEFFER asserted that "we can no longer tolerate divi- siveness caused by halachic aber- rations" and that "to insure that the halacha is being properly in- terpreted and used, we must plate in ascendant positions the leadership of Finkelstein over Femstein.'Waxman over Unter- man, the Rabbi Kieffer over the Gerer Rebbe." The references were to Rabbi Louis Finkelstein, former chan- cellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary; Rabbi Moshe Fein- stein, a leading Orthodox schol-, ar; Rabbi Mordecai Waxman. president of the Rabbinical As- sembly; and to Rabbi Isar Un- terman, former Israeli Ashke- nazic Chief Rabbi. Rabbi Kieffer opened his an- nouncement with a denunciation of efforts of the Orthodox estab lishment in Israel to make tc- ceptance by the National Reli- gious Party in the government, finally formed without the NRP by Premier Yitzhak Rabin, con- tingent on a change in Israel's Law of Return barring accept- ance as Jews of immi grants con- verted by non-Orthodox rabbis. HE ASSERTED that "gather- ing moral strength from the Is- raeli rabbinate. Orthodox rabbis in this country have taken sim- ilar steps to invalidate the conversions, however halachic, of other rabbis." He charged that in New York, "many Orthodox mikvehs have been closed to Conservative rab- bis for use in conversion." He said the halachic process "is not the province of any group" and that "the Orthodox, by their behavior, have shown themselves to be out of touch with the halachic method and to be out of touch with Jews."

Three beaming Shaare Zedek nurses pose with the three sets of twins born within hours of each other at the hospital | last week. Twins At Shaare Zedek Put Doctors, Nurses On The Run 1 Doctors at Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek Hospital worked at a 'dou- ble-time" pace last week as three sets of twins were born within three and a half hours. Hospital obstetricians and Is- rael Ministry of Health experts could not recall a similar case of triple twin births in one day, let alone in the space of one mcrn- ing. One obstetrician stated that the odds against the multiple birth were as large as if the six had been born together as sex- tuplets. Shaare Zedek's busy day began at 9:15 a.m. when Mrs. Margolit Hazan, a 29-year-old Jerusalem housewife, gave birth to twin daughters. Two hours later. Mrs. Dina Ra- hamim, also of Jerusalem, de- livered twin boys, and at 12:30 p.m. another set of twin girls were born to Paulette Avital. All the mothers and infants were re- ported in good health. For Dina Rahamim. the twin birth is an unexpected burden. Her husband, who is blind, is employed as a rug weaver, and the couple has six other chil- dren. Upon hearing of her circum- stances, the staff of the hospital began contacting various sources to obtain help for the family. The "Brith Milah" (circumcision) ceremony and reception for the twin boys will be paid for by Shaare Zedek Hospital. The shift during which tbe triple twins were born was on* of the most fruitful in the history of the veteran Jerusalem hospi- tal, as 10 children were bor within five fours. Last year there were 2.557 births at the hospital* a figure which is expected to in- crease significantly during 1974k JWV Auxilaries' Weekly Calendar The activities of the Depart, ment of Florida-Ladies Auxiliary.

My best friends, the Kreicher tuias, had a dog named Ronald C'olman who was christened same in honor of their mother's fa- vorite movie actor at the time. He had manse. Tfce dog. Not the actor! However, everyone says that life begins at forty and it did for me. A dog's life ... I received my first dog. I WAS in my bedroom resting and contemplating my traumatic birthday when the children enter- ed and placed a small black some- thins in my arms. He licked my face and cap- tured my heart. We named him Taxi. Taxi was a wirehaired poodle. He wore a coat of hair which resembled a Brillo pad with four legs and a tail. Over the years, he chafed chil- dren on bicycles, ran after gar- bane truck tires, slept snuggled next to me. protected our family and fathered his own. His children were white Taxis and although they lived several blocks away, he paid a call on them each day. He was a concerned parent. He was al separately came about. THE CHILDREN and I were to remain in the U.S.. but their father was moving to the Baha- mas. He would be alone but we woold be together os it was de- cided Taxi would go with him. Once a month, the children's father, who piloted his own air- plane, would fly the family dog over to us for a weekend visit. Oitr friends were dismayed that the amicable agreement pro- vided for custody of a dog to come home one weekend a month. But then, everyone was happy and that's the purpose of separa- tions in the first place. One month Taxi didn't appear. He had run after the final truck. The children's father buried him in his backvard under a beau- tiful bougainvillea bush and we both told each other that neither would ever get a dog again. PASTING WITH peoole is emotional. And Taxi was oeople. I understand from the children that their father now has, not one. but two docs. ... and me, ihe ladv who vow- ed never to get another, has a guy named Rinno who is never more than two paws behind. One year ago, I'd just moved to Key West, was living alone in a big house writing a book and decided I needed a watchdog. At the Humane Society, as I walked around, all the dogs be- came excited, barked and jumped RITA GOODMAN at the prospect of a mistress. ONLY ONE lay there in a deep depression looking like he need- ed a psychiatrist more than a home. Naturally, he was Rinno. Maybe he couldn't see me for he's mostly sheep dog and I still don't know if he has eyes. I felt very safe living alone in my big house with my watchdog. We loved each other dearly and I knew he would let no harm come to me. Rinno and I had a daily ritual in Key West. Each morning 1 would draw the drapes, flide open the big glass doors and let Rinno out in our marvelous backvard while I pre- pared our breakfast. ONE MORNING, I walked to the doors to tell him breakfast was ready but before I could call out. the words stuck in mv throat as I SDotted a man's lea hanging over the side of the hammock I'd hung from two trees. Rinno was prancing around sniffing grass. And minding his own business! In whisper tones, I called his name. I didn't want to disturb the VISITOR. Or BODY. Or what- ever. After getting him in the house, I relocked the doors, redrew the drapes the phoned the police. Rinno really was a great pro- tector. He went at the poliee- maif s leg... and escorted the hungover wino to the fence from whence he'd sprung looking for a place to sleep It was then the thought oc- curred to me that perhaps I should move. Today life is more realistic. Rinno, protector-of-winos. has two beer and wine bars in Ft. Lauder- dale named after him. ... and I have lots of locks and chains on our door.

IN NEW YORK, Jewish organ- izational leaders demonstrated outside the Soviet airline office Friday in an expression of sol- idarity with Jews in Russia who fasted on the fourth anniversary of the Leningrad hijack trials. Addressing a Jewish audience in New York. Sen. Henry M Jack-on liberately attempted to misrepre- sent to the American people" what the issue is in the Jackson Amendment linking U.S.-Soviet trade to an easing of Soviet emi- gration restrictions. "I am not impressed when the White House tries to dismiss the wholesale violations of human rights in the Soviet Union as none of America's business," Jackson told the Jerusalem Great Synagogue dinner at the Plaza Hotel. Jackson said that his amend- ment, "far from intruding into the internal affairs of the So- viet Union, simply, conditions eligibility for certain U.S. eco- nomic concessions on respect for the right to emigrate, which is specifically affirmed in the Uni- versal Declaration of Human Rights and in other international agreements which the' Soviet Union itself has ratified." %1 MB KfffBfl, Extcafhrt Director, ttwitk W.Jfore ftdtration et r.rtater HcHtweo* ai.i iwiii in...... '^! What are all the active community minded people doing these days? Meetings have endednearly everyone has had their donor luncheon, elections, awards and honors. Vacations have started, chil- dren are now in camp and with the summer rains upon us. it is even difficult to find time to golf, swim or play tennis. So where are you all? From what I see, the involved neorl" are still involved planning and developing programs for the fall. Meetings appear to be taking place zt a more relaxed pace but just as often. Ideas are being ex- pressed, innovations developed, dates reserved on the Community Calendar, and each group is getting to work with new officers who. in many cases, are together for the first time. At the Federation, plans are being made for presentation to the community of our new proposed By-Laws on August 11th along with a new slate of officers, a new Board of Directors, and yes. even a new name. The Cultural Committee of the Community Relations Commit- tee is busy planning to participate in ticket sales for the Israeli Phil- harmonic which will be in our area Oct. 3. The Women's Leadership Institute and the Men's Young Leaders Council are planning the;r programs for 1974-75. A new Jewish com- munity chaplain has been employed for a one year pilot program to provide chaolaincy service to unaffiliated Jews in our hospitals and public institutions. A new assistant director will join our staff in July. The Jewish Community Centers has developed senior adult pro- grams for the summer and also tween and teen activities for our youth. Camp Ka Dee-Man is running at capacity. There is already discus- sion concerning next year's programs. Jewish life, therefore, goes on. and the work of Federation and all Jewish organizations exemplifies the continuity of our people. Though this is a vacation period for some, it is a work period for others. Our temples have hired new educational directors and prin- cipals, new youth directors, new associate and assistant rabbis. AH of these additions along with the ongoing staffs are for the purpose of enriching our Jewish community. Life augurs well for us. As the fastet growing community in tha United States and with multiple thousands of Jewish people seeking this area as their new home, the future looks bright and promising. May your summer be full of productivity, relaxation and revital- ization.

Nevertheless. I counted over 70 coneregants in synagogue on the Sabbath morning when the general strike had just begun.

Today, there are inevitably some doubts about the wisdom of the original proj- ect. IN THE absence of a qualified minister, the service was ably conducted by the chazan who had practically dragged himself from his sick-bed. and a delightful touch was added by the en- thusiastic participation of several small boys. The dkit*a-whieh. recently led to the resignation of the rabbi has left a deep impression and exemplifies the problems which face a small community which cannot afford the luxury of more than one synagogue. If the incumbent is to do his duty and maintain the unity of the community, he must clearly have such qualities of diplomacy Mideast Technology Gap Closes TEL AVIV(JTA)A Haifa Technion scientist joined Israeli political figures here in expressing their fears that the American decision to supply Egypt with nuclear potentialities would endanger the area and put it into a nuclear race. Former Defense Minister Mo- ; she Dayan. just returned from a i visit to the U.S., repeated his warning that if Egypt is able to exploit the nuclear cooperation agreement for non-peaceful pur- poses in the future, then Nixon's I Tisit will go down as "a fatal and historic mistake." "AL*. I can say is that I was surprised by the announcement," i Dayan told reporters at Ben i Gurion Airport, when he return- ed from a ten-day visit to North America. In Haifa, Prof. Joseph Rom, of the Technion Aeronautic De- partment, said that the U.S.- Egyptian agreement on nuclear cooperation will substantially ad- vance Egypt's ability to reach an atomic option. Any attempt to present the agreement in its peaceful indus- trial aspect and to evade the strategic aspects of this agree- ment would be a grave mistake, he said HE RECALLED that the Rus- ranged "Skud" missiles, which are tians with the 300 kilometer- ranged "Skud" missiles, which are adaptable to carry a nuclear war Solel Sisterhood Plans Activities For Coming Year Temple Solel's Sisterhood and Men's Club are busy planning many new activities for the com- ing year, including Temple Solel's presentation of the Broadway Musical "Paiama Game" under the direction of Mrs. Stanley Emas. Sisterhood is extremely enthu- siastic about the success of its "service to the community" proj- ects. According to Mrs. Robert Frazin. chairman of the taping for the blind, the Broward Com- munity College blind students are most grateful for the a3=ist anee. Another project is visiting the homes for the aged. Mrs. Anne Brudno is chairman of the Com- mittee. Sisterhood is planning a mem bership coffee in July, accord- ing to membership vice presi- dent Mrs. Arthur Kail. A rum- mage sale is planned for August. Prize Goes To MD Researcher HAIFA T!)e first Reuven Ziegler Medical Research Prize for "an original contribution of a young medical researcher" was awarded here at a ceremony held at the Medical School of the Technion Israel Institute of Technologv. The Prize bears a cash award of IL 3.000. The winner is Dr. Shlomo Raz, of the Urology Department of Hadassah Hospital, who was cited for his experimental work in urology concerning neural con- trol of the lower urinary tract. He is continuing this work with an eye toward applying it clinically in the rehabilitation of persons with injuries of the spine who have difficulty con- head, and now the Americans are granting the Egyptians that know- how that would enhance their technological ability and scientific capabilities to reach a nuclear option. The agreement announced by President Nixon would greatly close the scientific and techno- logic gap between Israel and the Egyptians in the field of nuclear science. Prof. Rom said that in his opinion Israel has to voice her anxieties over the far-reaching implications of the Egyptian- American agreement and to ex- press unreserved support in those groups of the American Congress who do see the dangers of the agreement. THE AGREEMENT, he said introduces elements of a nucleai race to the Middle East. He recalled that under Amer- ican pressure Israel has stated it would not advance the nuclear option" in the Middle East. But now the Americans are initiating a contribution to the Egyptians that would close the scientific and technologic gap be- tween Israel and Egypt, and this must be carefully examined as far as strategic implications are concerned. It is not the question of some quantities of uranium that may be stolen. IT IS THE scientific and tech- nologic know-how that will be ac- cumulated by the Egyptians and would enable her to reach a nu- clear option in a shorter time than without that knowledge. Moreover, he stressed, the knowledge needed for the opera- tion of a nuclear reactor for peaceful r-urno^es is similar 19 that needed for war purposes. Another senior scientist said that a similar agreement with Is- rael may be of demonstrative value only as Israel already has the knowledge in this field. He warned that "small scale" nuclear weapons may even reach the hands of terrorist groups. PROF. NAFTALI Shafrir, head of the nuclear Engineering De- partment at the Technion, said that at an international sympo- sium on means of controlling nuclear reactors for peaceful pur- poses, it was clearly concluded that tjiere is no problem in evad- ing control of international bodies, and in the long run. with some patience, it is possible to accumulate the necessary mate- rials for other purposes than peaceful. Dayan noted that the agree- ment with Egypt was not wholly- negative in that it would increast American influence in the Aral world. AT THE same time, he stressed that the mere fact that the agree ment provides for the U.S. super vision indicates that the nuclear energy produced by the proposed plant could be used to produce nuclear weapons. He also expressed concern that the U.S. would not always be in a position to exercise its control over the use Egypt makes of the nuclear plant. He cited the example of India as a country that has received foreign aid to produce nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and has now managed to produce its own atomic device. Apart from that. Dayan point- ed out that Egypt has no short- age of energy sources in view of the recent oil strikes, and the vast hydroelectric potential of the Aswan Dam which has not'. vpt h"-"! fnllv exnlnit^d. and leadership as will make him acceptable to the various strands whieh compose the warp and weft of the average body of Jew- ish opinion. IN EFFECT, this is a plea for the introduction of a more en- lightened approach ihan has been evident up to the present. Bel- fart has shown that it deserves this kind of consideration. No member of the Jewish com- munity has. fortunately, become a physical casualty of the violence which staiks the streets of Ulster but the dangers are ever present, and meetings and social gather- ings have had to be seriously curtailed, especially at night. Jews have played an active and honorable part in the civic life of Belfast, but in the present sad situation they believe that the best contribution they can make is to mind their own business and pray that the fratricidal strife will end. They are fond of relating the common experience of many who. on being stopped in the street by a freelance militiaman and asked whether he is Catholic or Protestant, will reply that he is a Jew and will then be met with the further question "Yes, but are you a Catholic Jew or a Prot- estant Jew?" I WAS told the same story by a Quakerwith the substitution of agnostic for Jew. Perhaps this serves to illustrate the remarkable resemblance of the Ulster problem*\ Utttl are not fighting about theologyas they did at the time of the Reformationany more than Israelis and Arabs are in conflict about the Bible versus the Koran. In each case, the quarrel is about who should rule a small country which each claims is theitve by right. Both conflicts il- lustrate the problems, as Harold Jackson identified them in one of the Minority Rights Group re- ports, of the "double minority." The Protestants are a majority in Ulster and a minority in Ire- land as a whole. The Jews are a majority in Israel, and a minority in the Arab lands. All are backed and supported by co-religionist sympathizers abroad. OF COURSE, there are also wide differences in the two cases, especially in the historical back- soil, the Arabs hold the same na- tion responsible for granting the Balfour Declaration which first enabled lewish settlement to take place on a massive scale. Is the analogy true or false? If it is true then we have perhaps some lessons to learn from the ground. But it is worth noting that if the Irish consider the English were responsible for planting the Protestants on their tragedy of Ulster. Fear of domination, whether real or imaginary, not reason, is the cause of most suffering. ^M^CeM^, tfAT* HAS COME TO DAVIE! MON.-FR1. 10-4, TUES. & THURS.

And they remain determined to live in Israel in freedom." ft ft ft Withhold U.S. Recognition NEW YORK The Anti-Defa- mation League of B'nai B'rith has called upon the United States to withhold "diplomatic recognition and formal relations" from the German Republic (East Germany) unless "a firm and de- tailed advance commitment" is made to pay reparations to vic- tims of the Nazi era. In a letter to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Seymour Graubard, national chairman of the League, pointed out that the German Democratic Republic has never accepted its responsibility as a successor state to the Third Reich for Hitler's criminal acts " made any redress to his vic- tims.

Named in memory of Mrs. Moses (Belle) Margolis, a Bing- hamton-area resident for more than 50 years, the Belle Margolis Library Collection has received generous financial assistance from the Margolis family and friends. Mrs. Margolis came to Bing- hamton in 1923 from Poland with her husband, the Rev. Moses Margolis. Rev.

The question was raised by a newsman following Israeli raids on terrorist camps in southern Lebanon. The State Department, however, deplored the continuing violence in the Middle East in the wake of the Israeli raids. DEPARTMENT spokesman Robert Anderson declared that "the United States has not given a green light to anybody. As you well know the Secretary's (Kis- singer's) six-month effort and the President's trip show they are bending every effort to bring about a negotiated peace in the Middle East." Anderson added the American fan is to encourage the moderates In the area as indicated by the j disengagement accords by Egyp'. and Syria with Israel. COMMENTING directly on the j raids, Anderson said. "We de- plore very strongly the continuing action and reaction of cycles of violence across the Lebanese I border." When a reporter suggested that Israel is seeking to stir up trou- | ble and undo the work of Presi- 1 dent Nixon and Secretary of Beth Shalom's New Officers Are Installed Temple Beth Shalom held its annual meeting June 13. The I general membership elected its officers and trustees for the coming year, and they were in- stalled by Dr. Morton Malavsky, spiritual leader of the temple." Dr. Malavsky presented his an- nual report, and Dr. Fred Blu- menthal, who had been installed as the 1974-75 president of the congregation, expressed the con- gregants' gratitude to Dr. Malav- sky for his 11 years of service to the temple, both as spiritual leader and administrator.

That was the reaction of Israel Premier Yitzhak Ra- bin to the latest terrorist attack on Israel early Tues- day. THREE ISRAELI soldiers killed three Arab terrorists, who apparently infiltrated from Lebanon, into the town of Nahariyya. Before the soldiers killed them, the terrorists succeed- ed in killing three Israeli ci- vilians and a soldier. Eight other Israelis were wounded in the gun battle. Nahariyya is a resort on the Mediterranean Sea seven miles from the Lebanese border. The Israeli civilian dead included two chiidren, who had been held hostage, and a woman. THE DEPARTMENT had also deplored "the great loss of inno- cent lives." Warren added that "we deplore the continuing cycle of violence" and the loss of "in- * nocent lives." * Israel intensified its air at- tacks on terrorist strongholds in southern and western Lebanon on June 20 and identified in detail the targets hit to refute Lebanese claims that the air raids were intended to terrorize civilians. The Israeli jets struck for a third and fourth consecutive day and returned safely to their bases. SAM-7 ground-to-air missile fire was encountered over some of the targets, a military communique said. A COMMUNIQUE issued June 20 said Israeli jets attacked ter- rorist bases in southern Lebanon for 20 minutes, beginning at 10:30 a.m. local time. A later communique reported a 75-min- ute strike at terrorist bases and installations in western Lebanon. The targets included terrorist training camps, bunkers, garages and command posts, according to the communique. Lebanon has c'aimed heavy civilian casualties and property damage from the Israeli air raids. Israeli sources noted that the terrorists deliberately locate their bases in refugee camps or near villages as a shelter from air attacks. THE COMMUNIQUE stressed that all targets hit were clearly identified and that every pos- sible Drecaution was taken to avoid damage to civilian pro- According to the communique, the targets of the air strikes in- cluded: El Burj-el-Shimali, a com mand post of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine- General Command near Tyre on the Lebanese coast. The PFLP-GC, headed by Ah- med Jilbril, is tUT terrofbt-'or- ganization responsible for the Apr. 11 Kiryat Shemona mas- sacre; Ein el Hilba, near Sidon, a command post of the Popular Liberation Army; an El Fatah garage and an encampment of the "Armed Struggle" organization, a group that infiltrates terrorists into Israel. Also. Ras el Din. near Rash- diyeh in the Tyre area, a tent en- campment of an El Fatah opera- tional unit; and at Rashidyeh, a camp of the Popular Liberation Army and three terrorist bunk- ers north of the town. Nuclear Deal Hits Flack on Hill THE TERRORISTS at- tacked about midnight on Monday, racing through the streets of Nahariyya and throwing handgrenades. Army officers snouted to the terrorists in an effort to persuade them to give up. They launched an assault when the terrorists refused. The Arab raid was on an apartment building, and the soldiers shot their way into the building from the roof. State Henry A. Kissinger, Ander- son reported: "I have absolutely no comment on that speculation." Asked to comment on the Is- raeli raids, White House spokes- man Gerald Warren referred newsmen to a statement by the State Department which said "Violence seeds the climate of hatred which works against the climate of any peace settlement." FILLING IN BACKGROUND By JOSEPH POLAKOFF WASHINGTON(JTA)The United States-Egyptian agreement to provide Egypt with nuclear technology and fuel for peaceful pur- poses, and a similar agreement with Israel, announced by President Nixon during his stay in Israel, evoked reactions at the Capitol rang- ing from hesitancy to outright opposition. Qualified sources indicated the ._. ,, r , agreement with Egypt announc- ed in Cairo by President Nixon before his departure for Saudi Arabia and Damascus on his Mid- east tour, will undergo sharp scrutiny and may ultimately fail of approval. BUT THE State Department said it had consulted with key congressional figures and found no objections from them. Rep. Melvin Price (D., 111.) chairman of the Joint Congres- sional Committee on Atomic En- ergy, said the agreement would be examined thoroughly. The Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee also are re- quired to approve such agree- Religious rices Serv Midweek 'Sunday School' Seen At Temple In Pines The Temple in the Pines Re- ligloui and Hebrew School Board, under the leadership of Mrs!

III.) and Clifford Case, (R., N.J.) expressed negative reac- tions. McGovern said he opposed the agreement in principle and said President Nixon had no right to commit the United States to such a project without prior Con- gressional approval. Sen. Percy said that "while I understand that Israel will be provided the same technology and equipment, I am deeply con- cerned about the introduction of nuclear Capabilities in the re- gion." Percy said that Egypt, twice in seven years, "has attacked the State of Israel and the nations of the area have waged four wars in the past 25 years." Sen, Case was angered by the abruptness with which he was in- formed by the State Department about the agreement and indi- cated it could represent a very- major change in U.S. policy. AN AIDE said that if the nu- clear agreement was part of the disengagement process and has not been communicated to the Foreign Relations Committee. "somebody is in real hot soup'' because the Case Act requires all information on such agreements. Sen. Jacob K Javiti (!!. X.Y.) said the agreement "must be re- ceived with grave reservations," adding it marked "a very policy decision which could in- volve the survival f Israel and leeurity of the !'., ' Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D., Wash), a member of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, said it was "a terrible shock that the government would bring in nuclear power plants where ter- rorists operate with impunity." SEN. EDWARD Kennedy (D., Mass.) said the announcement raised a number of questions that needed to be thoroughly ex- plored by Congress "before any final agreement is concluded." Sen. John Pastore, (D., R.I.) vice chairman of the Joint Com- mittee, said Egypt should ratify the 1967 global treaty against the spread of nuclear weapons be- fore the proposed technical aid is approved. Critics of the proposal ques- tioned Egypt's trustworthiness, noting that the rapprochement between the U.S. and Egypt is virtually brand new. When the State Department was asked what the result would be if the Moslem Brotherhood overthrew the government of Egyptian President Sadat, a high departmental source said he was not prepared to make a judg- ment. BIT HE insisted that the In- ternational Atomic Energy Agen- cy and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission had safeguards which would be incorporated in the Egyptian agreement. A top State Department offi- cial acknowledged that Sadat had asked for a nuclear plant in January when Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was negotiating the Israeli Egyptian disengage- ment accord. However, when the official was asked directly if the nuclear technology plan was a part of the disengagement process, he hedged his reply. He said Egyp- tian specialists were in Washing- ton in late April on the project AT THAT time, the Depart- ment reported, Israeli experts were here too, presumably for the sane reasons. Officials said two teams knew of each oth- ii presence here. Department officials said they knew President Nixon and Is- raeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin would announce an agreement in Uar to that with Egypt. However, the officials said Baud! Arabia and Syria had not obtained such accords. SUNDAY, JULY 7 Younf Professionals & Professional, ll-Seminar-8 pm_ SATi?RDAYfjUI.Y,i3'''1 ^^ ******* ""* *"""" "M* SUNHAY^'u* *"""*-* PHoHywood.

William Fulbright, ^ toppled from the Senate by Dale Bumpers after 29 >ears of service in that select club, Wal- ter Lippmann once asserted: "There is no one else who is so powerful and also so wise: and if there were any question of re- moving him from public life, it would be a national calamity." Vet the world-renowned chair- man of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee has not only been removed from his seat of power but washed out by a po- litical tidal wave. AND THE nation waits to see how his 73-year-old successor, Sen. John Sparkman. '.he Alaba- man who. didn't make it to the top as Adlai Stevenson's running mate in 1952, will work out. Contradictions have been deeply woven into Sen. Ful- bright's career. For the Jewish community, his icy attitude to- wards Israel remains a sorrow- ' ful puzzle. How could one who had the ingenuity and the vision to con- vert government funds realized from the sale of leftover World War II materials into the Ful- brlght Fellowships be so myopic about a Holocaust harrowed peo- ple struggling to be free and se- cure? HOW COULD a scholarly Sen- ator with a first class mind rele- gate Israel to such a low place among the nations of the world? Where did he get the b-.ass to Insist that the Senate was sub- servient to Israel? Why did tax deductions for Americans giving to the State of Israel fill him with such rancor? Perhaps now that he has been removed from the senatorial scene, we should summon a bit of the fund of our charity and give him credit for that which deserves commendation. When the passions of demagogues rip- ped away at fundamental Amer- ican civil liberties. Mr. Fulbright was both courageous and elo- quent. EARLY IN his career in the House, he was one of only 94 members of that body to vote to dissolve the offensive Dies Com- mittee, then known as the House un-Ame:ican Activities Commit- tee. He stood up like a soldier gainst the diabolical behavior of Joe McCarthy, fluffing off that mountebank's idiotic refer- ences to him as Senator Haif- bnght. And nobody sounded a more stirring challenge to sweep Mc- Carthyism from the American scene than Sen. Fulbright did when he warned in 1954: "The swinish blight of anti-inteliec- tualism is now a force in this country as once it was endemic in Fascist Italy and Germany and as it is endemic today in Soviet Russia." He could sail into a McCarthy yet keep comfortable company with those who took their stand at schoolhouse doors to block in- tegration. He signed the infamous South- ern Manifesto when Senators Gore and Kefauver did not; and he joined willingly to fiiiDuster FEPC legislation to a temporary death. WHEN DOROTHY Thompson beheld Mr. Fu:biight early in his career as lawmaker, she exclaim- ed: "This man is destined for greatness." Is it possible that she left with him then a pet gremlin an anti-Israel fetish, guaranteed to last a long season in the Senate? OcywjoMr */j* d*-riet> man Babylon to Miami Via Jamaica 440ABYLON, by James Wellard (New York, Schocken Books, $2.95, 224 pp.) is a story that makes archaeology, cryptology, history", and some Biblical accounts come alive. The author's credentials as a scholar are sound. Although some of his interpretations mizht not be to the liking of Orthodox, his rea- soning is presumptively correct. MANY POSITIVE and negative injunctions WOM incorporated in the Bible and prophetical writings by Moses and other divinely inspired writers in order to prevent the Jews from adopt- in.; the practices of th idolatrous peoples sur- rounding them in the Promised Land. To understand many parts of the Eible. one must study not only rabbinical exegesis but also the mores and cultures of the neighboring civi- lizations. Wellard casts new and interesting lights on the Book of Daniel and on some of Jeremiah's cautions. SAMUEL J. HURWITZ was a professor of his- tory and the recipient of many grants to pursue his work on the history of "Jamaica" < New York, Praeger Publishers, S9.50, 273 pp.). His widow, Edith, is credited as co-author of the book. The history is a pedestrian account characterized by deficiencies and inadequacies. The role of the Jew in Jamaica's first two cen- turies of development is much greater than the i. i What God Seems to a Youngster authors indicate. THE AUTHORS fail to identify the early Portuguese as Jews, which they were, or to note their place at different times in the societal stratum. It is disappointing to note the lack of an in- terdisciplinary approach to historiography and the failure to discuss the ethnic integration of the population groups and the sociological forces which hindered integration of Blacks and Jews. One of the few interesting points made is that when the free Jamaican Negroes became the equal of the whites, they adopted the anti-Semi- tism of the white Chritians. "THE DEEP South States of America" by Neal R. Peirce (New York, W. W. Norton & Co., $12.05, 528 pp.) is required reading of the people in Dade County. The sub-title of the book reveals the purposes and goals: People. Politics and Power in the seven States of the Deep South. The section on Miami Metro is an excellent synthesis. The author makes no mention of the Jewish population in any area. For Miami Beach, he inferentially raises the questionshould the city be a playground for tourists, or should it have a permanent residential base with a cultural and civic life divorced from glamor, or can it be all things to all people? A YOUNGSTER named Leslie Stewart has given us a "picture of God" which vividly strikes homp. I share Leslie's statement which I found in the bulletin of the Fairmont Temple of Cleveland, Ohio: "GOD. OR some unknown force we call by that name, is the creator and unifying center of the entire universe. God has no shape or form that I as a human being can understand. In fact, He is everything I and the rest of mankind do not understand and about life itself and the uni- verse. "I can only understand God. therefore, in hu- man terms. God is not Superman, a Santa Claus or a Lone Ranger to me. He is not someone whom I call on to save me to answer my selfish needs or desires. But rather He is my partner; He is a natural part of me. "GOD IS purely spiritual to me and very per- sona!. I experience' Him; I "feel" His presence. "I reach Him through love and thoughts. Sometimes this takes the form of prayers and sometimes in my actions. "I also see God through this wonderful world He has created, the world of nature. I also see God through people people who imitate His goodness and moral standards by trying to work with Him to perfect His noble experiment, the world we live in." Ullliiil'ilfi !.- i:'r!! i I'l #i Portrait of an Israeli Policeman Haifa JSRAEL HAS one police force, covering the en- tire country, and it is represented in the Cabinet with a Minister of Police. Like the constabulary in other countries. Is- rael's police force has also been subjected to much criticism, particularly for the way in which they handle demonstrations. It is the kind of sit- uation in which the police will inevitably be blamed. IF THE demonstration gets out of hand, and begins smashing things up, as an uncontrolled, hysterical mob always will, the police are blamed for ineffectiveness. And if they stand firm and control the mob before it erupts, they are accused of being ruth- less. It is always the inciters who complain. AT A time when the news in the press is not always cheerful or heartwarming, it was good to read recently the story' of 'he image at least one policeman has created for himself in his own community. It was the tale of Eli Shahar, a 39-year-old custodian of the law, who constitutes the entire police department of the town of Mizpe Ramon in the hill- of the central N'egcv, population 2.300, THE STORY was told by Menahem Michel- son in the afternoon tabloid. Yediot Aharonot I should like to think there are many other Israeli policemen like Eli Shahar. Eli is on 24-hour duty. When he locks up the police station, he takes his duties home with him. IUMMMMMHMMHHHM1 It i there that citizens frequently seek him out, especially the children. Where el=e in the world would a youngster make his way to the officer on duty and complain: "The teacher pulled my ear, and it hurts. Please help me, Eli." WHEN A doll disappeared from the local kindergarten, Eli was sent for. When housewives quarrel among themselves, Eli is asked to arbi- trate and make peace. When food supplies fail to arrive from the north, the citizenry make a bee-line to Eli, To them he personifies officialdom at its best, be- cause he takes their problems to heart and seeks solutions. ELI WAS born in Tunis and came to Israel as a child with his parents and eight brothers and sisters. Now he has a wife and four children. For all his extrovert and friendly nature, he refrains from becoming too friendly with his neighbors or with local merchants. After all, if they have a brush with the law he must be ob- jective in his handling of the situation, and this would be difficult if he were dealing with friends. MOTHERS IN Mbpch Ramon know how to use the full weight of police influence when disciplin- ing their children. But it is not: 'If you misbe- have, 111 call the policeman." Next time you "re touring Israel perhaps you may wish to stop off at Mizpeh Ramon and pay your respects to the police department. But be- ware that you don't speed. Eli enforces the law. ...... -u.i... ......... To Make Dayan A Wealthy Man \TOSHE DAYAN is being of- 1 k fered an advance of $400,000 for his memoirs. Besides royal- ties. This is quite a sum. The book will no doubt have a worldwide sale But it won't approach the sales of a book by an earlier Moshe. Perhaps Israel should in- gtitute suit to get royalties on the book by the first Moshe. as the next of kin to the author. If they could, Israel would have enough money to run the country, without taxes. WHAT A book the Bible has been. If there is anything at all linking the nations of the world today, it is due to the Bible Jew- ish mystics foretold the day when Jerusalem would spread itself and fill the world. In a sense, the Bible accom- plished this. In most countries un t 11 more recent tunes, the people knew as much about Is- rael as they did of their own country. Lloyd George. British Prime Minister, said he could name all the Kings of Israel, but not all the Kings of England. DAYAN probably never ex- pected to make any fortune writ- ing a book. Neither did another generalGrant. Towards the end of Grant's life, he h?J financial difficulties, but his memoirs saved him. In an earlier period, celebrities did not do so well. Thomas Jef- ferson wrote a number of books, including an autobiography, but never made any money from them. But he loved booksto read as well as write He had the largest library in America. In the latter part of his life, he endorsed the note of a friend and thereby su; ained a money loss which brought the wolf to his door, and thenhis books did save himCongress bought his library. IN THE War of 1812. the Brit- ish had burned the Library of Congress, and the Jefferson library was purchased as a nusleus for a new Library of Congress. Even with this aid. when Jef- ferson died, Monticello would have been lost to the country but for a Jewish admirer. Uriah P. Lew. who bought the estate, pre- venting it from being broken up. Later Monticello was made a na- tional memorial. Uriah P. Levy might have writ- ten an interesting book himself.

+Jewisti flcricHaun and Shofar of Hollywood Friday July 5. 1974 Ml Luly Logk A Dog's Life As a child, I never had a dog. My best friends, the Kreicher twits, had a dog named Ronald Colnan who was christened same in honor of their mother's fa- vorite movie actor at the time. He had mange. The dog. Not the actor! However, everyone says that life begins at forty and it did for me. A dog's life ... I received my first dog. I WAS in my bedroom resting jir.il contemplating my traumatic birthday when the children enter- ed and placed a small black some- thing in my arms. Hp licked my face and cap- tured my heart. We named him Taxi. Taxi was a wirehaired poodle. He wore a coat of hair which resembled a Brillo pad with four legs and a tail. . Over the years, he chafed chil- dren on bicycles, ran after gar- bage truck tires, slept snuggled next to me. protected our family and fathered his own. His children were white Taxis and although they lived several blocks away, he paid a call on them each day. He was a concerned parent. He was al senarately came about. THE CHILDREN and I were to remain in the U.S.. but their father was moving to the Baha- mas. He would be alone but we wogld be together os it was de- cided Taxi would bo with him. Once a month, the children's father, who piloted his own air- plane, would fly the family dog over to us for a weekend visit. Our friends were dismayed that the amicable agreement pro- vided for custody of a dog to come home one weekend a month. But then, everyone was happy and that's the purpose of separa- tions in the first place. One month Taxi didn't appear. He had run after the final truck. The children's father buried him in his backvard under a beau- tiful bougainvillea bush and we both told each other that neither would ever get a dog again. FARTING WITH people is emotional. And Taxi was oeople. I understand from the children that their father now has, not one, but two dogs. ... and me, '.he ladv who vow- ed never to get another, has a' guy named Rinno who is never more than two paws behind. One year ago. I'd just moved to Key West, was living alone in a big house writing a book and decided I needed a watchdog. At th Humane Society, as I walked around, all the dogs be- J came excited, barked and jumped I RITA GOODMAN at the prospect of a mistress. ONLY ONE lay there in a deep depression looking like he need- ed a psychiatrist more than a home. Naturally, he was Rinno. Maybe he couldn't see me for he's mostly sheep dog and I still don't know if he has eyes. I felt very safe living alone in my big house with my watchdog. We loved each other dearly and 1 knew he would let no harm come to me. Rinno and 1 had a daily ritual in Key West. Each morning 1 would draw the drapes, slide open the big glass doors and let Rinno out in our marvelous backvard while I pre- pared our breakfast. ONE MORNING. I walked to the doors to tell him breakfast was ready but before I could call out. the words stuck in mv throat as I spotted a man's lea hanging over the side of the hammock I'd hung from two trees. Rinno was prancing around sniffing grass. And minding his own business! In whisper tones. I called his name. I didn't want to disturb the VISITOR. Or BODY. Or what- ever. After getting him in the house. I relocked the doors, redrew the drapes the phoned the police. Rinno really was a great pro- tector. He went at the police- 'marfs leg ... and escorted the hungover wino to the fence from whence he'd sprung looking for a place to sleep It was then the thought oc- curred to me that perhaps I should move. Today life is more realistic. Rinno, protector-of-winos. has two beer and wine bars in Ft. Lauder- dale named after him. ... and I have lots of locks and chains on our door.

Chairman Alvin Hess said, "There are many ways to see Is- rael, but only through the trip that we are sponsoring can you have the singular opportunity of meeting top leaders like Presi- dent Katzir; seeing what your contributions are doing for the people of Israel; of experiencing the Israeli's Israel instead of just the tourist's; and of living in- stead of just viewing this unique adventure which is Israel." In Israel the group will be joined by Mr. and Mrs. Sol Entin, Nathan Pritcher and Sid Cher- nuchin, of Hillcrest. The Mission will be geared at a leisurely pace with time for optional trips to Eilat and Sinai, the Western Wall. Yad Vashem. Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the Gal- ilee. There will also be visits to Safed. an armed force base, a new development town built from the wilderness, an Absorption Center with newly arrived Soviet Jews and an old age home. Group members will stay at de- luxe hotels in Tel Aviv and Jeru- salem, as well as spending a night in a kibbutz guesthouse in the far north. An Israeli breakfast will be served every day, lunches and dinners on full tour days, and on the last evening, a fare- well cabaret party. The cost from Fort Lauderdale will be SI.150 per person. (Small additional charge for single sup- plement). If you wish to join the group in New York, the cost will be $1,050 per person.

Zur, wno recently returned from a-trip to Israel, noted that recent headlines, with their em- phasis on peace, may be having an impact on those potential tourists who were holding back. "Many of the new bookings be- ing reported in Israel seem to be coming from the European continent, whose citizens are ap- parently less affected by the world economic dislocation than the American public," said Zur.

Two other Jewish activists, Yuri and Anna Berkovsky, of Novosibirsk, were arraigned on charges of speculation and illegal possession of firearms which carry minimum penalties of five years imprisonment, the sources reported. According to the sources, there is not a shred of evidence that the Berkovsky couple committed the offenses they are accused of.

Supporters of Soviet Jewry continued to react strongly to the worsening situation in the USSR. The Washington Committee for Soviet Jewry announced that its members sought to disrupt Soviet-US. telephonic communi- cations through June 21 to pro- test the disconnection of the phones of Jewish dissidents in Mo-cow. The committee said it acted in conjuncUon with groups through- out the U.S. A hunger strike began in front of the Soviet Embassy in Wash- ington in sympathy with the fast of the Goldstein brothers in Tbi- lis.

Addressing a Jewish audience in New York. Sen. Henry M Jack-on (D., Wash.) accused tht U.S. government of having "de- liberately attempted to misrepre- sent to the American people" what the issue is in the Jackson Amendment linking U.S.-Soviet trade to an easing of Soviet emi- gration restrictions. "I am not impressed when the White House tries to dismiss the wholesale violations of human rights in the Soviet Union as none of America's business," Jackson told the Jerusalem Great Synagogue dinner at the Plaza Hotel. Jackson sai.l that his amend- ment, "far from intruding into the internal affairs of the So- viet Union, skMily^conditions eligibility for certain U.S. eco- nomic concessions on respect for the right to emigrate, which is specifically affirmed in the Uni- versal Declaration of Human Rights and in other international agreements which the' Soviet Union itself has ratified."

Meetings have endednearly everyone has had their donor luncheon, elections, awards and honors. Vacations have started, chil- dren are now in camp and with the summer rains upon us, it is even difficult to find time to golf, swim or play tennis. So where are you all? From what I see. the involved neorle are still involved planning and developing programs for the fall. Meetings appear to be taking place at a more relaxed pace but just as often. Ideas are being ex- pressed, innovations developed, dates reserved on the Community Calendar, and each group is getting to work with new officers who, in many cases, are together for the first time. At the Federation, plans are being made for presentation to the community of our new proposed By-Laws on August 11th along with a new slate of officers, a new Board of Directors, and yes. even a new name. The Cultural Committee of the Community Relations Commit- tee is busy planning to participate in ticket sales for the Israeli Phil- harmonic which will be in our area Oct. 3. The Women's Leadership Institute and the Men's Young Leaders Council are planning the;r programs for 1974-75. A new Jewish com- munity chaplain has been employed for a one year pilot program to provide chaolsiney service to unaffiliated Jews in our hospitals and public institutions. A new assistant director will join our staff in July. The Jewish Community Centers has developed senior adult pro- grams for the summer and also tween and teen activities for our youth. Camp Ka Dee-Mah is running at capacity. There is already discus- sion concerning next year's programs. Jewish life, therefore, goes on. and the work of Federation and all Jewish oreanizations exemplifies the continuity of our people. Though this is a vacation period for some, it is a work period for others. Our temples have hired new educational directors and prin- cipals, new youth directors, new associate and assistant rabbis. All of these additions along with the ongoing staffs are for the purpose of enriching our Jewish community. Life augurs well for us. As the fastet growing community in the I'nited States and with multiple thousands of Jewish people seeking this area as their new home, the future looks bright and promisin:. May your summer be full of productivity, relaxation and revital- ization.

Kennedy to press for "open doors for Soviet Jews" when he meets Soviet leaders in Moscow. Appearing last week in Phila- delphia before nearly 2,000 per- sons at a Soviet Jewry Solidarity Assembly sponsored by the Jew- ish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Philadelphia, Kennedy described his dramatic midnight meeting with Soviet ac- tivists on his visit to Moscow only weeks ago. "After listening to them, I bring you a message," he told the crowd. "They remain com- mitted to their ideal. They re- main firm in their faith. And they remain determined to live in Israel in freedom." & -tr -Cr Withhold U.S. Recognition NEW YORK The Anti-Defa- mation League of B'nai B'rith has called upon the United States to withhold "diplomatic recognition and formal relations" from the German Republic (East Germany) unless "a firm and de- tailed advance commitment" is made to pay reparations to vic- tims of the Nazi era. In a letter to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Seymour Graubard, national chairman of the League, pointed out that the German Democratic Republic has never accepted its responsibility as a successor state to the Third Reich for Hitler's criminal acts w made any redress to his vic- tims. He contrasted this attitude with that of the West German Government wh'ch, over a period of many years, has made substan- tial reparation payments to Is- rael and to individual victims of Nazi cruelty wh<- survived the Holocaust. it ir it Collection on Holocaust BINGHAMTON, N.Y.A spe- rjal collection of books, docu- ments, and other scholarly mate- rials pertaining to the Holocaust, in which millions of European Jews died during World War II, has been founded at the State University of New York at Bing- hamton. Named in memory of Mrs. Moses (Belle) Margolis. a Bing- hamton-area resident for more than 50 years, the Belle Margolis Library Collection has received generous financial assistance from the Margolis family and friends. Mrs. Margolis came to Bing- hamton in 1923 from Poland with her husband, the Rev. Moses Margolis. Rev. Margolis has long been associated with Temple Is- rael, which was located in Bing- hamton for many years before moving to its current site in Ves- tal in 1968. The Margolises lost 32 close relatives in the Holocaust. i> h ix Secret Contact with Arafat ZURICH Citing "unimpeach- able sources," the Neue Zuricher Zeitung reports that the U.S. is still squarely backing UN Resolu- tion 242 and favors the participa- tion at the Geneva Peace Confer- ence of Arab terrorist leader Yassir Arafat. Furthermore, according to the newspaper, certain high-ranking American representatives have already established a secret con- tact with Arafat. The U.S. State Department is increasingly per.-uaded that in any final solution of the Arab- Lsrael conflict, the legitimate rights of the Palestinians will nave to be taken into account, according to the DaDer it it it Telephone Service Terminated HARTFORD.

The utility previously had taken the position that it could not terminate the service with- out being ordered to do so by the State Public Utilities Commis- sion, which had received many complaints. The commission said that with- out prosecution of "an appropri- ate report" to the telephone company that such use of its service was unlawful, it could not order termination of the service. Florida Abroad In Israel Program Beginning July 8 Belly Dancer Vs. Yad Vashem ontinued from Page 4 SINCE FROM Jerusalem came forth the "Thou Shalt Not" in the first place "Thou Shalt Not" is as Jewish as apple pie is American the President was being challenged to demonstrate that, as a Christian, he had learn- ed the Jewish "Thou Shalt Not" as well as the Jews know it them- selves. At Yad Vashem, where the Hit- lerian holocaust is documented in the dark and sinster terms it deserves, the Israelis served up the President an implied warning against his permitting a second such holocaust as a con- sequence of his new found friendships with Sadat, Assad & Co. YOU COULD hear the voice of Jehovah in it all. It was a solemn occasion perhaps too solemn for the President, who was being required momentarily to subro- gate the joys of his triumphant iddle East tour to the dour mmand of the Higher Hand of od. It was a difficult struggle he ad to wage between his Chris- an imperative to prove himself orally by responding to the re- gious intensity of the moment n Jewish terms and his deeper lierstanding that it was really political moment. How can all of that best a bel- ly-dancer? It couldn't and didn't and the President's face showed it. In Cairo, it showed titillation and playful embarrass- ment. In Jerusalem, there was a grim and tortured look, boredom and forebearance. THE DISTINCTION between belly-dancer and Yad Vashem is best defined by Matthew Arnold in his "Hebraism and Hellen- ism," although Arnold's is a study of the Jewish and Greek traditions, not Egyptian, and there is a huge difference be- tween the Greek and Egyptian, the Greek serving as a founda- tionstone of western civilization. Still, Greece and Egypt were both pagan, both anthropomor- phic and polytheistic, and the Greeks especially were poets of tne flesh. For Arnold in his essay, the primary Jewish, discovery was sin, the "Thou Shalt Not" fabri- cated on Mt. Sinai. SIC.MLND FREUD, in his "Moses and Monotheism," says of it that the Jewish Thou Shalt Not," the Jewish revelation in the desert, is the source of mod- ern anti-Semiti--*- Judaism, modified by the early Christians, se' the buidcn of the Sinaitic discovery on the shoul- ders of Europe's pagans, who were essentially Greek land Egyptian) in their perceptions of life and the flesh. In accepting the revelation of Christ, the pagan-Christians pun- ished the practitioners of the Sinaitic revelation, the Jews, as the root cause of their strange burden. THEY COULD not rebel against Christianity, but they could lash out at the Jews as the progenitors of Christianity. The belly-dancei in Cairo was pure pagan, and Nixon's face in Cairo was pagan tempered by the revelation of Christ (the titilla- tion vs. the playful embarrass- ment). Yad Vashem in Jerusalem v as pure Sinaitic -- not only a sym- bol of Nazi genocide but of the Jewish "Thou Shalt Not." Nixon's face at Yad Vashem was the terrain or which the war in him raged between: Paganism on the one hand and the Sinaitie-Christian revela- tions on the other the Mat- thew Arnold view: Christianity on the one hand repelled by the Sinaitic as for- eign to Christianity; and Chris- tianity on the other as repugnant to paganism (Nixon's tortured look, his boredom, his forebear- ance) the Freudian view. IN ALL of this, the meaning of Yad Vashem as a political movement was lost in the shuf- fle. And. at least for that brief in- stant in history, moral impera- tives won out over flesh, for in Cairo President Nixon had to pretend he wasn't enjoying him- self; and in Jerusalem, he had to pretend that he was.

Today, there are inevitably some doubts about the wisdom of the original proj- ect. IN THE absence of a qualified minister, the service was ably conducted by the chazan who had practically dragged himself from his sickbed, and a delightful touch was added by the en- thusiastic participation of several small boys. The dift|utrwliieh, recently led to the resignation of the rabbi has left a deep impression and exemplifies the problems which face a small community which cannot afford the luxury of more than one synagogue. If the incumbent is to do his duty and maintain the unity of the community, he must clearly have such qualities of diplomacy Mideast Technology Gap Closes TEL AVIV(JTA)A Haifa Technion scientist joined Israeli political figures here in expressing their fears that the American decision to supply Egypt with nuclear potentialities would endanger the area and put it into a nuclear race. Former Defense Minister Mo- she Dayan. just returned from a visit to the U.S., repeated his warning that if Egypt is able to exploit the nuclear cooperation agreement for non-peaceful pur- poses in the future, then Nixon's visit will go down as "a fatal and historic mistake." "AL* I can say is that I was surprised by the announcement," Dayan told reporters at Ben Gurion Airport, when he return- ed from a ten-day visit to North America. In Haifa, Prof. Joseph Rom, of the Technion Aeronautic De- partment, said that the U.S.- Egyptian agreement on nuclear cooperation will substantially ad- vance Egypt's ability to reach an atomic option. Any attempt to present the agreement in its peaceful indus- trial aspect and to evade the strategic aspects of this agree- ment would be a grave mistake, he said. HE RECALLED that the Rus- ranged "Skud" missiles, which are tians with the 300 kilometer- ranged "Skud" missiles, which are adaptable to carry a nuclear war Solel Sisterhood Plans Activities For Coming Year Temple Solel's Sisterhood and Men's Club are busy planning many new activities for the com- ing year, including Temple Solel's presentation of the Broadway Musical "Pajama Game" under the direction of Mrs. Stanley Emas. Sisterhood is extremely enthu- siastic about the success of its "service to the community" proj- ects. According to Mrs. Robert Frazin, chairman of the taping for the blind, the Broward Com- munity College blind students are most grateful for the assist anee. Another project is visiting the homes for the aged. Mrs. Anne Brudno is chairman of the Com- mittee. Sisterhood is planning a mem- ber>hin coffee in July, accord- ing to mcmber*hin vice presi- dent Mrs. Arthur Kail. A rum- mage sale is planned for August. Prize Goes To MD Researcher HAIFA The first Reuven Zieg'.er Medical Research Prize for "an original contribution of a young medical researcher" was awarded here at a ceremony held at the Medical School of the Technion Israel Institute of Technologv. The Prize bears a cash award of IL 3.000. The winner is Dr. Shlomo Raz, of the Urolory Department of Hadassah Hospital, who was cited for his experimental work in urology concerning neural con- trol of the lower urinary tract. He is continuing this work with an eye toward applying it clinically in the rehabilitation of persons with injuries of the spme who have difficulty con- head, and now the Americans are granting the Egyptians that know- how that would enhance their technological ability and scientific capabilities to reach a nuclear option. The agreement announced by President Nixon would greatly close the scientific and techno- logic gap between Israel and the Egyptians in the field of nuclear science. Prof. Rom said that in his opinion Israel has to voice her anxieties over the far-reaching implications of the Egyptian- American agreement and to ex- press unreserved support in those groups of the American Congress who do see the dangers of the agreement. THE AGREEMENT, he said introduces elements of a nucleai race to the Middle East. He recalled that under Amer- ican pressure Israel has stated it would not advance the nuclear option" in the Middle East. But now the Americans are initiating a contribution to the Egyptians that would close the scientific and technologic gap be- tween Israel and Egypt, and this must be carefully examined as far as strategic implications are concerned. It is not the question of some quantities of uranium that may be stolen. IT IS THE scientific and tech- nologic know-how that will be ac- cumulated by the Egyptians and would enable her to reach a nu- clear option in a shorter time than without that knowledge. Moreover, he stressed, the knowledge needed for the opera- tion of a nuclear reactor for peaceful nurno^es is similar to that needed for war purposes. Another senior scientist said that a similar agreement with Is- rael may be of demonstrative value only as Israel already has the knowledge in this field. He warned that "small scale" nuclear weapons may even reach the hands of terrorist groups. PROF. NAFTALI Shafrir, head of the nuclear Engineering De- partment at the Technion, said that at an international sympo- sium on means of controlling nuclear reactors for peaceful pur- poses, it was clearly concluded that tiiere is no problem in evad- ing control of international bodies, and in the long run. with some patience, it is possible to accumulate the necessary mate- rials for other purposes than peaceful. Dayan noted that the agree- ment with Egypt was not wholly- negative in that it would increast American influence in the Arab world. AT THE same time, he stressed that the mere fact that the agree- ment provides for the U.S. super vision indicates that the nuclear energy produced by the proposed plant could be used to produce nuclear weapons. He also expressed concern that the U.S. would not always be in a position to exercise its control over the use Egypt makes of the nuclear plant. He cited the example of India as a country that has received foreign aid to produce nuclear ener;jy for peaceful purposes and has now managed to produce its own atomic device. Apart from that. Dayan point- ed out that Egypt has no short- age of energy sources in view of the recent oil strikes, and the vast hydroelectric potential of the Aswan Dam which has not' vet h""M fnllv evoloitod. and leadership as will make him acceptable to the various strands whieh compose the warp and weft of the average body-of Jew- ish opinion. IN EFFECT, this is a plea for the introduction of a more en- lightened approach ihan has been evident up to the present. Bel- fart has shown that it deserves this kind of consideration. No member of the Jewish com- munity has. fortunately, become a physical casualty of the violence which staiks the streets of Ulster but the dangers are ever present, and meetings and social gather- ings have had to be seriously curtailed, especially at night. Jews have played an active and honorable part in the civic life of Belfast, but in the present sad situation they believe that the best contribution they can make is to mind their own business and pray that the fratricidal strife will end. They are fond of relating the common experience of many who, on being stopped in the street by a freelance militiaman and asked whether he is Catholic or Protestant, will reply that he is a Jew and will then be met with the further question "Yes. but are you a Catholic Jew or a Prot- estant Jew?" I WAS told the same story by a Quakerwith the substitution of agnostic for Jew. Perhaps this serves to illustrate the remarkable resemblance ^f :h? Uhter problem* to- that of Palestine. Catholics and Pfbtes- tanta are not fighting about theologyas they did at the time of the Reformationany .more than Israelis and Arabs are in conflict about the Bible versus the Koran. In each case, the quarrel is about who should rule a small country whieh each claims is their/* by right. Both conflicts il- lustrate the problems, as Harold Jack-on identified them in one of the Minority Rights Group re- ports, of the "double minority." The Protestants are a majority in Ulster and a minority in Ire- land as a whole. The Jews are a majority in Israel, and a minority in the Arab lands. All arc backed and supported by co-religionist sympathizers abroad. OF COURSE, there are also wide differences in the two cases, especially in the historical back- soil, the Arabs hold the same na- tion responsible for granting the Ealfour Declaration which first enabled /ewish settlement to take place on a massive scale. Is the analogy true or false? If it is true then we have perhaps some lessons to learn from the ground. But it is worth noting that if the Irish consider the English were responsible for planting the Protestants on their tragedy of Ulster. Fear, of domination, whether real or imaginary, not reason, is the cause of most suffering. Featuring Nautalas Machines Sauna Showers Lockers Complete Power Room HUCK'S GYM and HEALTH FOOD STORE ?
