Baltimore 'JTA) — The Dianiondback, the student newspaper of the University of Maryland, denied this week that any motive of anti-Semitism was involved in a recent incident in which an instructor in a German class scheduled an examination for the first day of FSosh Hashanah. The paper had earlier reported that, the instructor later cancelled the examination. In an editorial commenting on protests arising from the paper's report on the incident, "from people who read allegations of rampant anti-Semitism Into our p r e v i o u s editorial," the Diamondbaclc announced t h a t it had "conducted nn investigation of the problems of the Jewi»li stucJent on this campus" and thai it had found "no trace of

Misunderstanding Referring to the incident involving the German instructor, the editorial said that it was a mixup "subject to m i s u n d e rstanuing" and added: "We are convinced that neither the department nor the teacher acted intolerantly, but the action and words of both were misinterpreted." The paper cited the university administration p o l i c y which provides that all absences for religious reasons be excused and takes that stand that no examinations be given on religious holidays. It noted that calendars are supplied to all departments and rellpiou.'S holidays are iJt'n-i orally taken into) coiniderutiou.
Hillcl Director In another statement, Rabbi Meyer Greenberg, Hillel director at the university, said that the original report on the incident giving rise to charges of anti-Semitism was due to "a misunderstanding by the editorial writer" of the Diamondback. Noting that he had also investigated the incident, Rabbi Greenberg said that Hillel had "found the administration generally understanding of the r i g h t s and needs of religious groups and cooperative In the solution of problem situations. U n iversily policy is very c l e a r , " he declared, "Jewish students are permitted free exercise of their religion find are given excused absences for all Jewish holidays."

Israel Sosks Return Of Israeli Students Jerusalem (JTA)--Representalives of the Government and various private and public Israeli employers have agreed on steps to encourage the return here of Israeli professionals who complete their studies abroad. It is understood that more than 4,000 Israeli engineers, economists, biologists and other professionals are still abroad after completion of their studies. Among the steps agreed upon were the streamlining of methods to bring together prospective employes and employers, the participation by employers m the housing expenses of returning professionals and the stationing of representatives abroad authorized to sign contracts with professionals. The Government agreed to supply the employers with bimonthly lists of Israeli graduates seeking employment here.
Second Attach on Conn. Synagogue Bridgeport (JTA)—An unidentified man who tossed two Molotov cocktail bombs at the Bikur Cholim synagogue here was the object of a p o l i c e hunt this week. At the same time, police in nearby Trumbull reported that the word "Jew" had been painted on the walls of two homes there during the past weekend. An investigation is underway. The bombing i n c i d e n t , in which one of the missiles exploded, was the second attack on the synagogue this month. On October 7, the building was broken into and a swastika was carved in the altar and five Torah Scrolls slashed. A member of the congregation who was assigned to guard the building since the break-in put out the flames of the bomb. The second bottle hit the building but did not explode. After the October 7 vandalism, the 150-member congregation received expressions of sympathy and contributions from local Catholic and Protestant churches.

Where Do the Jews Live?
tifeeil Prefer Rome (JTAi—The Vatican today officially withdrew the skitus of "martyr'' lached ior nearly five centurir-s to a thri-eyc-ur-old Ciiristiiin child naim d Simon of Trent, who w;is ;;ubnquently made a s a i n t . The Vatican declared that the Jews cl Trent, who hud been tortured to death for the alleged ritual murder of Simon, had been "innocent." The Vatican action came on (he heels of last week's promulgation by Pope Paul VI of the new Catholic Church doctrine, absolving the Jewish people of the ancient charge of deicide and deploring anti-Semitism. Blood for Passover The child Simon was found dead in the Italian City of Trent in 1475. and the Jews of the city were accused of having murdered the little hoy for the use of his blood during the celebration of Passover. A number of Jews in Trent and in other cities
were tortured to death as a result of that accusation. Alter an investigation by .some prelates, Pope Gregory XIII issued a bull ststiny Unit the verdict of fiuilt fi»ainst the Jews was correct, and declaring Simon a martyr. Later, he was made a saint. Today's Vatican action reverses all phases of that riding. Tortured Jews The case of Simon of Trent was one of the bluntest antiSemitic actions in Christian history. An iiO year-old Jew "confessed'' to the libelous accusation after being tortured. Thereupon, a number of Jews were beheaded or hanged. A f t e r a bishop had probed the issue on behalf of the Vatican, and had ruled that the Jews were innocent, another investigator told Pope Gregory XII that he found the charges against the Jews justified. Pope Gregory then i s s u e d his bull. At the Church of St. Peter at Trent, a
News Flash As this paper goes to press, returns of the Israel elections are still incomplete. Early rvports, however, give Levi Eshkol and the Mapai Labor Party an overwhelming victory over the determined bid of right wing forces and the challenge from the new Rafi Parly headed by former Premier David Ben-Gurion. Mapai and its ally, the left wing Achdut Haavada seem assured of 41 of the 120 seats in the Knesset.
Kennedy Urges U.S. to Assure Israel-Arab Balance of Arms New York (JTA) — Senator Robert F . Kennedy called on the United States Government this w e e k to affirm this country's commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East by assuring a rewonnhle arms balance between Israel and "those who threaten her security." "The Egyptian A r m y,"' Sen. Kennedy declared, "supplied for the first time with money from the rich S h i e k d o m of Kuwait, continues to grow. The unified Arab command has forced Jord a n t o double the size of its army. Sophisticated w e a p o n s jets, guided missiles, submarines
—continue to flow in from the Soviet bloc.'' The frequency of border raids, he added, "has increased over their level even a year ago, and new organizations have been set up with terrorist objectives." In urging the United States Government to assure a Mideast arms balance, Sen. Kennedy said that Israel's arms must be equal to any challenge. "In 1962," he declared, "we righted a previous imbalance by sending Israel our Hawk missiles. If the balance has since changed, it should be righted bv a similar act."
New York (JTA) — The New York State Court of Appeals, h i g h e s t judicial body in the state, ruled last week that a •woman who charged that her husband had had a secret Nazi past was entitled to an annulment of their marriage, if she can prove her allegations. The case involved a petition for annuknent by Mrs. JoseE Kober, who is not Jewish. She charged that her husband was "fanatically anti-Semitic, believed in the extermination of the Jewish people," and required h e r to "weed out" all her Jewish friends and cease associating with them. She said he had concealed from her the fact that he had been a member of the German Nazi P a r t y and bad served in Hitler's army. A lower bench, the Appellate
Division, had ruled'against Mrs. Kober last February. The Count of Appeals, by a similar 4-3 decision, reversed the earlier ruling, holding that all the woman had to do now is to prove her charges of her husband's secret Nazism before the New York State Supreme Court. "A conviction that a race of people should be exterminated." the highest court declared, "evinces a diseased mind and makeup which parallels the ground for annulment."

>ITOBfB¥Toronto (JTA) —The Jewish Family and Child Service of Toronto reports it has succeeded in preventing the breakup of many Toronto Jewish families in recent years by persuading the estranged Jewish couples to drop divorce plans. These r e s u l t s have been achieved despite an apparent increase in the number of Jewish divorces in line with the city's growing population, according to Abraham Berlin, president, and J e r o m e Diamond, executive director of the JFCS. They declared that, despite the absence of statistics on Jewish divorces, they believed that the divorce rate among Jews remained lower than that of any comparable religious or ethnic group in
lonorin Waltham, Mass.—B r a n d e i s University will establish an endowed professorial chair to honor the memory of Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson, one of the University's most distinguished friends. The chair in international politics will be created through a $250,000 public subscription campaign, together with S 150,000 in funds to be provided under the University's second Ford Foundation matching grant which Brandeis is using primarily to encourage endowments for faculty chairs as wejl as fellowships and scholarships. Adlai Stevenson, Governor of Illinois and twice a Democratic candidate for the Presidency before being named U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. in 1961, was introduced to Brandejs through his very close friend, the late Eleanor Roosevelt, who was at the time a University Trustee.
Toronto. Br. Berlin said that the agency never advises divorce "because it would defeat our policy of keeping families together while tryiiiR to show them how they can be happy and well adjusted. However, when the marriage partners decide that divorce is the only coijrse for them, we try to help irLcffecting a successful disengagement." Mr. Diamond said the number of couples coming to the agency for marital counseling has been increasing in recent years, hi 1904, 143 such CJSCS were handled. He reported that out of a total of 7!)0 couples coming to the JFCS in the last four years for help to save their marriage, only three took

In October, 1061, at Brandeis' Phi Beta Kappa Convocation, the University conferred an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree upon the Ambassador. In Urn citation accompanying the degree, Brandeis P r e"s i 3 e n t Abram L. Sachar wrote that Ambassador S t e v c n s o n ' s "eloquence, interlaced with the rarest of wit, fuses a sense o£ history and a vision of unique destiny, renewing f a i t h and pride, and recreating, for a disillusioned generation, P 1 a t o's image of the philosopher-states-
divorce action. He said there were al::o legal separations. Causes <>t Divorces Mr. Diamond said the experience of the JFCS in the field indicated that divorcing individuals have some characteristics in common. Women seeking a divorce are somewhat more independent than the a v e r a g e and generally are more intelligent. They are good planners nvA thinkers huL not good at teamwork. Some are relatively healthy in personality and others find it difficult to maintain the intimate ties of a good marriage. He said another group which tends to seek divorce is made up of adults with little self-esteem who are still tied psychologically to their parents, particularly their mothers. He explained that such persons unconsciously select a mate who will punish or dominate them because they believe that this treatment is what they deserve. Another observed effect is that the estranged couple often tries to meddle in the marriages of their friends, a procedure which triggers divorces in other dissatisfied c o u p l e , who are not ready for that drastic step but who refuse to try to reconcile their differences. Jewish Divorce He also reported that although a Jewish religious divorce is not necessary to be legally binding, most Jewish couples who get a civil divorce also seek a religious decree to protect against future eventualities. The JFSC makes available expert rabbinic and psychological counseling to help keep the family together.

We Wonder Depariment A new definition of "The Jewish Vote" will apparently emerge from New York's mayoralty race this week. A Jew, Abraham Beame wa? thp Democratic. Party's losing candidate hi a city which has the largest Jewish population in the world, and .where the "Jewish Vote" has long been considered overwhelmingly Democratic. The victorious non-Jewish Republican candidate, John Lindsay apparently captured a good part of the "Jewish Vote" campaigning as a liberal reformer. What then is "The Jewish Vote?" Obviously it is net a vote by Jews in support of a Jewish candidate. Likewise-it is not blind loyalty to the Democratic Party. Experts are now identifying the "Jewish Vote" as a demonstration of a liberal viewpoint. Is it possi ble that there is no such thing as a collective "Jewish Vote?" We wonder.

Open Leffer TO Teens Without a doubt, the Teen Talk column is the most popular feature in the Jewish Press—of equal interest to both teen and adult readers. I am grateful to all of you who have made the column possible. It is an important part of the paper, not only because it has wide readership, but because it performs an important service. Through this column teens have been able to learn more about each other, and adults have been able to catch a glimpse of the candid observations and altitudes of the young people in the community. "As you well know, adults are not'always in sympathy with some of the Teen Talk answers. But in spite of the "heat" brought on by some particularly provocative question —there is no doubt that open discussion is the best means to bridge the gaps of diverse opinions. So my thanks to all of you for a job well done; and my best wishes for continued success with your column. While the policy of weekly guest editors will continue, I am pleased to announce that Linda Eisenstatt will be serving as co-ordinator of the column. Anyone interested in writing a column should contact Linda. We need more of you on our staff of guest editors. We need your suggestions for questions. If you've never been called to answer a Teen Talk question and would like to do so, we want to know that too. We look forward to hearing from you. What you have to say is important. Let us know what you are thinking. The Teen Talk column has been great, but with your help, it will be greater yet. Mrs. "G."

you had never known because you are safe." Little Background Wherever I went and talked with our Jewish boys I asked the same questions. "Did you attend r e l i g i o u s services at home?" The greatest majority said no. In asking what education they had gotten, the majority said they were bar milzvah though some didn't know what bar mitzvah meant, "what contact did you have with Jewish organizations prior to your army service and during your hitch?" Again I got a negative answer though some of the boys had belonged to AZA.

Some, on the other hand, had been well received and were welcomed by the congregations. A good deal of the difference depended upon the community ami the people who make it up. Their Needs What did they need, how could the folks back home help them in the trying times ahead? The J e w i s h GIs are no different from their non-Jewish counterparts—letters from home, good letters at more frequent intervals—from family, from friends, from schoolmates.

OPEN LETTER TO STEVE LUDMAN I find it ncccssnry to jxjinl out to you that you could not possibly have based your remarks on the whole truth. You staled " . . . many of us are agreed often quite immature . ...." How kind of you Jewish boys to take the time to analyze us and give us your reasons for finding us beneath your standards for dating. But how can you condemn all Jewish girls by using only your "limited personal investigations?" You are making a hasty generalization of all girls based on the knowledge of a few girls, "To assume that conceit runs rampant among Jewish girls" and to assume that "she displays a habitual lack of concern for lic-r date" seems equal in logic to saying that all Jewish boys are completely unselfish, have' nothing hut respect for their dates, and are examples of perfection! I wouldn't make either statement. They are equally ridiculous. Could these strong feelings possibly be an excuse to make mterdating easier? Conceit isn't confined to a single religion, is it? Aren't non-Jewish girls susceptible to conceit? Mr. Lubman, please reconsider your accusation1*. If you feel you f . n n n ^ t ..w-..*,... ........

B:>H> Klinm<*l Central High Senior 1NTERFAITII DATING Since the important topic of interfaith dating has been raised again, I would like to add some reflections to the statements I made in the Jewish Press 10 mouths ago. The misgivings of the parents often center around the decline of Judaism, but • portions the problem is inherent in Judaism. In its more liberal forms, there is little or no theological dogma and what there is,.is generally accepted by our culture as a whole. The Jewish cthlc Is, in principle,- that of Western civilization and most of the Jewish beliefs are somewhere included in Christianity.

problem. Furthermore, Judaism does not demand any institutionalization; it is a free-flowing religion with' few constraints. To try to inculcate the principles of liberal Judaism in a modern youth is raprcly to tell him to be a good boy and believe in God. This hardly makes him unique. What is left for the liberal Jew qua Jew? It is "Jewishness" as distinguished from Judaism; and "Jcwishness" does not always take desirable forms. A heritage that produces one fourth of the graduate students in the United States is" admirable, but ever so many other qualities are not so praisworlliy. It is for the individual to decide if he is to be proud of Jewishness, I don't speak Yiddish, don't like Jewish cooking, rind am not especially proud of many other aspects of Jewishness. The eclecticism I -would drift into would hardly be what one would want. Regarding the marital disharmony,, it seems to me that peoplo who marry when they are mature and after a reasonable period of intimate acquaintance would know if they could get along. If the young adults marry before maturity or a reasonable courtship has passed, then perhaps the problem is too early dating, as Mrs. Hollis said. That has nothing to do with Interfaith marriage or datirig per F.e. If a religious problem develops and whether the solution be a bilateral or unilateral

By Jess Silver What does Sandy Koulax do for an encore? The marvelous lefthander of the Los Angeles Dodgers has just completed one of tho most phenomenal seasons ever enjoyed by a hurlcr. The World Sertes was the icing on the cake.-Other highlight-, cf the year included a perfect game, the fourth no-hitter of his career, a feat never before a c c o m p lished, a single season strikeout record of 382 and his fourth straight ERA title. Koufax says his greatest thrill of 1965 was .being able to work the whole season despite an arthritic elbow. Sandy intends to take it easy this winter. "I went to too many banquets and thincs like that after the 1963 World Series and I felt tired in spring training the next year," s a y s Koufax. "This time, I'll be taking it easier." •
