"The younger members of our community arc very much concerned and disturbed about the so called " v a n i s h i n g Jew" image. We want to preserve and save our Jewish community." Emphasizing that the Jewish Philanthropies Campaign is an important agent in fighting the concept of the "Vanishing Jew in America," Marlon Somberg, Men's Division chairman of Philanthropies, dressed the urgency of supporting Omaha Jewish Community agencies and activities. Campaign Majors "With this thought in mind" Mr. Somberg said, "I have called on some of the young leaders of the community to serve as Majors in the Men's Division of the Philanthropies Drive. The job of the majors is not only to collect funds, but to educate the community about the scope of Campaign funds. I am delighted to announce the names of these men who have

agreed to work with me in this campaign. They arc: Ray Somberg, Hichard Fellman, Jim Farber, Donald Nogg, Gary Goldstein, Max Crounsc, Jack Colin and Martin Lehr. "All of these men have been involved in campaign activities in the past few years, and with their abla help I look forward to a successful campaign, both in collection/; and education" said Mr. Somberg. 1148 in Jewish Schools Citing the case of the religious schools of the Omaha synagogues which are supported to an important extent by the Philanthropies drive, Mr. Somberg said: "Our subventions to these schools help them, with a single community effort, to obtain proper staff, and to operate schools on as fine a level as is possible. Supported through the Philanthropies arc the weekday and weekend schools of Beth El, Beth Israel and Temple Israel; a total of 1148 children."

Detroit (JTA)—A member of G e o r g e Rockwell's American Nazi Party has been arrested by police in Farmington near here on charges of distributing "slanderous" anti-Semitic leaflets and instigating a 14-yearold boy to help him in the distribution. The Nazi, Russell Roberts; was a r r e s t e d after the boy turned the literature over to police. Los Angeles (JTA)—A Protestant pastor has posted a mezuzah on the door of his parsonage —a wartime method used in Denmark to protest Nazism—as a protest against the presence of an American Nazi party member in a home in suburban Glendale. Rev. Robert Miller, pastor of the First Brethren Church of Glendale, acted because Nazi Ralph Forbes has rented a house in Glcndalc with the announced intention of using it as a Nazi center.
Albany, N. Y., (JTA)--A 300member d e l e g a t i o n of the American Jewish Congress has urged Gov. Rockefeller and leaders of the New York State Legislature to enact a statewide "Fair Sabbath" law to exempt persons observing as their Sabbath a day other than Sunday from the state ban on conducting business on Sunday. The delegation also asked for broader powers for the State Commission on Human Rights authorizing it to initiate complaints and fix fines against violators of antidiscrimination laws.
Mexico City. (JTA)—A book entitled "America is in Danger" was published here this week by a noted Mexican anti-Semitic writer, Salvador Borrcgo, accusing the Jewish people of imperiling all of America. Borrcgo,' a-, staff member of the influential daily newspaper, Excelsoir, was the author of a violently anti-Semitic work issued shortly after the conclusion of World War II. In that diatribe, he called Nazi Germany's collapse a "catastrophe," and adduced data "proving" that the Jews had started the war and were at fault for the Nazi defeat. That book has gone through several editions and has been circulated widely throughout Latin America.
Marlon Somberg "Omaha has a unique position in the entire United States" Mr. Somberg added. "I believe we are the only Jewish community in which schools representing Orthodox, Conservative and Reform viewpoints are supported."

boys and girls have a meeting place in an atmosphere which is conducive to developing Jewish attitudes and Jewish fellowship. "Through the campaign" Mr. Somberg continued "we find the means to implement our objective of improving our Center, its staff, facilities, services and activities, so that the young people will be attracted to it and influenced by its program. Camp "The Esther K. Newman Camp is another activity in which our children receive daily indoctrination into Jewish living and Jewish activities. Every child that goes to Camp is exposed to Jewish influences. This is the most effective measure to fight a "vanishing Jew" situation. The camp is one of the local needs served by the Philantropies campaign." Other Services The Jewish Family Service helps to maintain Jewish family

U.S. Arms for Israel Seen as Possibility Anti-Semitic ftafser Jerusalem (JTA)—The possibility that the United States may openly provide arms to Israel Expelled From Parly
to make up for West Germany's cancelation of such shipments, was seen here as W. Averell Harriman, after completing five days of highly-secret conferences with Israel's topmost governmental leaders, h e a d e d by Prime Minister Levi Eshkol. While the black-out on official announcements about the talks continued in effect — informed circles stated that p r o g r e s s seems to have been achieved concerning Israel's request for "non-secret" supplies of arms from the U. S. A. During his talks, not only with Premier Eshkol but also with Foreign Minister Golda Meir and Deputy Defense Minister Shimon Peres, Mr. Harriman is known to have shown understanding of Israel's position on most of the major issues under consideration. Regarding open American arms supplies to Israel, the talks are believed to have built a positive framework within which further conferences would be held in Washington, with the possible participation of both Mrs. Meir and Mr., Peres.

The Dr. Sher Home and Cherniack-Chapman Pavilion serve to provide the necessary care for the aged members of the community. The Jewish Library provides a most comprehensive resource for strengthening Jewish knowledge and life. All of these services are vital and worthy of our support. Overseas Needs "As young American Jews we are vitally concerned in the welfare of our needy brethren the world over and in Israel. We will do our proper share, as we must, infringing them help and a solution to their problems. "At the same time," Mr. Somberg concluded, "we know that the only answer to a concept of "vanishing American Jew" is caring for the needs' of our own Omaha Jewish community."
Edmunton, Canada (JTA)—A key member of the Social Credit movement on the campus of the University of Alberta has been expelled from the party for distributing anti-Semitic literature. Orvis Kennedy, executive director of the Alberta S o c i a l Credit Party, said that Walter Klinck, 30, c h a i r m a n . o f the campus Social Credit group, had been informed that his membership had been canceled. . Klinck was expelled after it was found that he had placed on sale at the Social Credit booth at the university b o o k s t o r e copies of the n o t o r i o u s antiSemitic canard,. "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." Mr. Kennedy said that his party had disassociated itself "from this, anti-Semitic n o n s - e n s e many years ago."

France to find Aid to Israel Paris UTA)—The French Cabinet decided at a meeting here under the chairmanship of President de Gaulle, to end "the policy of active aid to Israel," the influential daily, L'Aurorc, claimed. Attributing its report to "usually well-informed sources," the newspaper stated: "Israel no longer enjoys the good graces of the Government. The longterm policy of active help is finished." L'Aurore asserted that the general tone of the Cabinet meeting, which discussed in detail reports received last week from Cairo, Bonn and Tel Aviv, was one inclined to "let Israel find its own modus vivendi with her neighbors, or no longer count on us." There was neither confirmation nor denial of the report from official government sources.

The scholarships, which are sponsored by the Agency's Department of Education and Culture, include tuition and full maintenance in Israel. The students are expected to pay their own transportation to and from Israel. The program is open to young persons involved or interested in Jewish education and community work. Named in honor of the late American Zionist leader, Hayim Greenberg, the Institute also accommodates an additional 50 students annually from other parLs of the world, mainly from Latin American countries.

board of its opposition to the plan. The vote of four to four took place at a board meeting at which the faculty of all schools went on record ar also opposing the plan. Some churches and a Bible society supported the proposal. The JRC contended, in its statement to the school board, that public schools should not become involved in any religious instruction program and that it was wrong for children to be deprived of instruction in the school because others attended religious s c h o o l . The practice in the plan is that children not attending outside religious instruction r e m a i n in public school but receive no instruction for that period.

FACING THE REALITIES IN JEWISH LIFE Editors note: The following letter makes reference to the book "Hayim Greenberg: The Inner Eye-Selected Essays." The book is available in the Jewish Federation Library.) In his essay "Brankrupt" written in 1943, Greenberg demands that a day of fasting and prayer be proclaimed; not for the martyred European Jews, but for the souls of American Jews, spiritually bankrupt in the face of the Nazi Holocaust. In 1943 Greenberg did not naively assume that American Jews could single-h a n d e d 1 y launch a rescue mission. What shocked hun, was the lack of "hysteria"—a lack which resulted in an unproductive discretion,, punctuated by orderly proest meetings." : ' . . . •
"Bankrupt" poses an uneasy question: ARE A M E R I C A N JEWS TODAY PROVING ANY M ORE SPIRITUALLY SOLVENT IN THE FACE OF GREAT H I S T O R I C CHALLENGES? Why Is the American College Student so quiet; so in-active to the decLsIon of the German government to end their war crime trials in May? "Bankrupt"??? I appeal to all college youth of Omaha to start a vigorous campaign that should spread from here throughout the State of Nebraska and from there throughout all the colleges of the United States. I certainly would give all the help I could. Mrs. Erna P. Kaldcgg
By Mickey GerelSck 'g A feud of minor proportions has developed in the past few weeks between the National Jewish Post and Opinion and the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle. Basis of the disagreement is the handling of the news relative to atheist "Rabbi" Sherwin T. Wine. The Kansas City publication chose to make light of the news; and in fact announced flippantly that the congregations eviction from the Masonic Temple was "the least of our worries." This brought strong words of disapproval from the Jewish Post who seems to find a depth of sincerity in Rabbi Wine not found by most of the Anglo-Jewish Press. The Post is upset by, the lack of editorials in the Anglo Jewish Press against the ousting of the Atheist congregation by the Michigan Masons. K. C. POSITION • The Kansas City Chronicle made its position clear in an editorial last week: " . . . We would deny no individual or group the privilege of disavowing a Supreme Being. We not only believe it their right, but consider it our obligation to defend this right. If the .Michigan group called itself an ethical culture society, they would be entitled to everyone's respect though not agreement. "It is our only concern that a man continues to call himself by the beloved.term "Rabbi" when he denies the most elemental tenets of our faith. . . . We unhesitatingly state our categorical personal conviction' that a firm belief in God is the first requirement of one who would presume to use the title Rabbi, a leader and teacher of Jews." . ;........ OBJECTIVITY The difficulty of reporting the news objectively seems most apparent her,e. In an effort to sensationalize the news value of an "Atheist Rabbi" the Post seems to have bent over backwards to give credence to his claims. By the same token, the personal disdain felt by the Chronicle for what they felt was a "publicity gimmick" has likewise led them to color what, should have been objective news reporting. A "middle of the road" attempt seems to be in order for both publications. NAZI WAR TRIALS A few weeks ago the National Post carried an interesting column written by Rabbi Maurice Davis. Whether or not this was another journalistic attempt to "show the other side" or an honest point of view, I do not know. I do believe however that the column offers some food for thought. In the past few months virtually every Jewish organization and group has protested the end of the Nazi trials set for May 8. Resolutions by. pie thousands have reached the Bonn government urging extension for the Nazi War Trials. The reasons are obvious and apparently just. To the best of my knowledge, Rabbi Davis is the only one who has offered an opposing point of view in the Jewish press. RABBI DAVIS In his column of February 12, Rabbi Davis states in part: "We abominated the horror of Nazi Germany. What we desire, therefore, is an pnd to horror. We were appalled at Hitler's method of suspending the law when it pleased him to do so. What we desire, therefore, is not that the law be suspended, but that the law be obeyed." "Six million Jews died in history's darkest hour. No amount of blood-letting will bring them back. No suspension of the law can ever deter lawlessness. No continuation will serve the cause of justice, or the cause of. humanity or the cause of anything worthwhile." . "Those of us who were old enough to remember, will never forget. Those who are not, can never comprehend. And those of us for whom Judaism is something exalted and exalting should be the ones to call a halt. The horror; and' its aftermath are ended now. Let the past be buried." So says Rabbi Davis. It's an inter. .esting point of view.

THE JEWISH I'RKSS
I'EIAX FKANKFUHTKR Felix Frankfurter was 82 years old when he died last week, esteemed, venerated and rich in honors as one of the greatest constitutional defenders to grace the United States Supreme Court bench. His quarter-century as an Associate Justice overshadowed for most the memory of the younger Frankfurter's amazing career and the tremendous contributions he made to the Jewish cause. Few today recall—or even knew—that in 191G President Woodrow Wilson assigned the brilliant young lawyer to accompany Henry Morgenthau, Sr., on a secret mission to attempt to purchase the territory of Palestine for Jewish settlement. And today, when it is fashionable to believe that the history of the State of Israel began in 304!), few recall the labors of the giants of the Zionist movement a half-century ago—Frankfurter among them—to secure recognition of Jewish claims to Palestine at a time when the major opposition came, not from the Arabs, but from the functionaries of the British Foreign and Colonial Offices, the American State Department and American missionaries in the Middle East. Frankfurter, one of Justice Louis D. Brandeis's most trusted associates, was the legal adviser to the Zionist delegation to the Versailles Peace Conference. From Versailles he maintained a personal correspondence with President Wilson and, on one occasion, when the President seemed to be receding from his earlier endorsement of the Balfour Declaration, secured from him a written statement that Uie President favored and hoped to see a "Jewish Commonwealth" in Palestine. Frankfurter, born in Vienna, of a family of rabbis, came to this country as a youngster and shared his family's Orthodox beliefs. As a young man, Frankfurter withdrew from the synagogue and eschewed religious practices because he felt they no longer had meaning for him. He told his friend Alfred Kazin last year that he did not want a religious funeral service because he did not want to be identified formally with a religious creed. He expressed the desire, however, to have the Hebrew Kaddish prayer recited. President Johnson, members of the Supreme Court and outstanding personalities in Washington attended the private memorial services in the Frankfurter home. After a musical offering, Prof. Paul Freund, an old Harvard associate, pronounced an eulogy and Prof. Louis Henkin, of Columbia, a former law clerk, recited Kaddish,
New Anti-Semitism Shown in Germany West Berlin (JTA)—Police are continuing a hunt for the vandals who smeared the elevator and the doors of the office of the West Berlin Social Democratic chairman with the words, "Jews Go Away" and swastikas. The Social Democratic weekly, "The Voice," speculated that there might be a link between the smearing and the fact that the party has criticized Egypt and Chancellor Ludwig Erhard for the suspension of arms shipments to Israel. BONN (JTA)—A campaign to p r e v e n t the extension of the Statute of Limitations, which limits the prosecution of Nazi war criminals after May 8, was s t a r t e d by the right-wing Deutsche National-Zeitung and Soldaten-Zeitung which lias a large circulation a m o n g Germans who formerly served in the German armed forces. In an outspoken anti-Semitic front-page article, carrying the headline "Capitulation B e f o r e World Judaism," the newspaper dealt with the debate now going on in West Germany over the extension of the statute of limitations. " G e r m a n politicians," the paper wrote, "have given in to Jewish blackmail and pressure to prolong the statute of limitations." Meanwhile, it was reported from Prague that the Czechoslovak Justice Ministry transmitted to Bonn r e c e n 11 y-discovered Nazi documents on killings of European resistance f i g h t e r s and of many thousands of Jews. The report said that documents on 400 cases which required imm e d i a t e attention had been transmitted to West German authorities.
I News Flashes—Around the World | New York (JTA) — Growing Negro participation in Jewishcponsored d e m o n s t r a t i o n s ogaiast anti-Semiticism was reported here by the Jewish Labor Committee. Instances where Negro groups and individuals have taken part in protest actions organized by the Jewish community were cited by Emanuel Muravchick, JLC national director, "This is a most gratifying trend because it demonstrated that some Negro civil rights activists see their battle for human rights as a universal one, applying to all of the oppressed, no matter what their religion or skin color," Mr. Muravchik said. Tel Aviv (JTA) — The pilot plant planned jointly by the United States and Israel, to test the application of nuclear energy for desalting sea water, may be in operation by 1971, according to a report from a member of the American team of experts visiting Isntcf for the project. The prediction was made by Philip Bush, Kaiser Engineering vice-president, as the experts compbted a two-week tour. He said Israel would supply significant elements to be used in the dual-purpose plant, The project was initiated by President Johnson in discussions with Premier Levi Eslikol when the latter visited the United StatC3 last June.
New York (JTA)—The Central Conference of American Rabbis has announced its official affiliation with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, as a step to unify Jewish life in America and strengthen the cooperative efforts of Jewish organizations in this country. The Conference of Presidents includes 18 civic, religious and Zionist groups. In announcing the affiliation, Rabbi Leon I. Feuer, Toledo, president of the CCAR called for "an end to the duplication" of Jewish life in America. Montreal (JTA) — A leading Protestant theologian, Rev. Carl Herman Voss, told the 24th annual Institute on Judaism at Temple Emanu-El here that both Protestants and Catholics owed "a lamentably late" apology to the Jewish people. He said that Christians had not paid sufficient tribute to J u d a i s m as the "mother faith of Christianity," and that they had not done enough penance for "our stupidity" in keeping anti-Semitism alive." The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than is growing with them. Bernard Baruch
