"Israel is today producing 70 per cent of the food she needs, and considering that in our lopsided picture of population where less than .1 per cent of immigrants to Israel were involved in Agriculture, that represents a major transformation."

Eve

Houston, Texas . . . A rhubarb between the rabbis and the Jewish Community Center has broken out over a dance scheduled by the Center for Friday nif'lil, December SI, New Year's Eve. Co-sponsors of the donee is the Jewish Community Council. Responding to the unanimous vote of the Houston Rabbinical Association urgin;; the center not to hold the affair that night, the proponents of the dance have replied that the youth will go elsewhere and unchaperoned. Rabbi Raphe! S. Sehwarlzman of the United Orthodox Syiuigogue of Houiilon, asserted in the Jewish Herald Voice that "We cannot -command the respect of our children if we, their parents, desecrate'the holiest mid noblest institutions of our faith. It has been suggested that the dance be sponsored by the Jewish Community Center on Saturday. January 1. thereby dramatizing the Center's committal to the holiness of our faith. The Knack bar at the Jewish Community Center does not dispense Kosher food. Again, the Center displays poor judgment for it teaches our children that Kasluush is not an integral part of Jewish life. We therefore urge Houston Jewry to implore upon, the Jewish Community Center and the Jewish Community Council not to hold its scheduled New year's dance on the Sabbath; secondly, that the Center dispense Kosher food at its snack bar, thus graphically dramatizing thai it respects the Jewish religion and is mindful of the sensitivity of the entire Jewish community."

up a hardship fund of about !j;.'JuO.O00.U0O, with initial payments scheduled to start in J'Jfili. - Critic-ism Chancellor Erhurd's Government move to postpone the payments because of "budKeturv difficulties," touched off worldwide criticism by Jewish organizations. The move was opposed in the Cundstag by the Social Democrat members of the Parliament. On the eve of the departure of Chancellor Eiiuird for Washington to confer with President Johnson on matters concerning West Germany, Dr. Rolf Duhlgruen, Minister of Finance, issued a declaration here stating that "some misconceptions have arisen recently on the implementation of Germany's.restitution program." The declaration was a reply to criticisms by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, and by other Jewish organizations around the world, against the decision of the West German Government to postpone l!)!i(i and l!Mi7 reparations payments. The Claims Conference has threatened to challenge the constitutionality of the budget bill, if enacted, on the grounds that it would jeopardize rights of property or acquired property, contrary to the provisions of the West German Constitution. The declaration of the West German Finance Minister reads: "The Federal Government has often demonstrated the special uriority it gives to rf»r,l,ilni jon for injustices committed under National Socialism. The payment of the $250,000,000 increase voted by the Bundestag on May'20, 19G5, however, will have to be effected within the framework of our budgetary problems. Nevertheless. I can say with assurance that the largest, possible amount of this increase will be paid out in l!)fiO mid J.'J(>7.

BIOGRAPHY

Isaac M. Wise by Dr. James G, Heller An exhaustive study of the life of Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise and liis multiple contributions to the American-Jewish community. The author pinpoints specific reforms introduced by Dr. Wise, reforms which are now integral parts of synagogue and religious organizational life in America. MYSTERY Friday, the Rabbi Slept Late by Harry Kcmelmart A fine combination of "who dunnit?" and "basic Judaism"— the book received the Edgar Award of the Mystery Writers of America for the best mystery novel in l!it>4, FICTION Ilerzog by Saul Bellow The alienation of man from his society, a society that is both Jewish and American—a society that provides a myriad of questions and a minimum of answers. THEOLOGY The Case for the Chosen People by W. Gunlhcr Plaut While discussing Judaism's relevance today, the author reinterprets the "chosen people" concept, emphasizing the importance of the covenant, the idea of mutual clioicebetween God and Israel, and the ability of Judaism to speak anew to every generation.

By Milton Friedman The U. S. Armed F o r c « s, through the treatment accorded a Jewish War Veterans delegation in Viet Nam this month, revealed anxiety to mobilize support for th? war by the American public including the Jewish community. JWV leaders reported that Jewish soldiers and Marines in Viet Nam voiced d i s m a y at statements by rabbis and some U. S. Jewish organizations urging cessation of bombings and commencement of peace negotiations with the Viet Cong. According to JWV National Commander Milton A. Waldor, of Newark, N. J., the Jewish fighting men are dedicated to the war effort but are annoyed at homefront dissent. 'Peacc-niks* Mr. Waldor returned with a comment that he was "disgusted by those groups, Jewish or nonJewish, so concerned about the

It was written by Dr. John Slawson, executive vice-president of the Committee, and L a w r e n c e Bloomgarden, director of the Committee's business and industry division. 'Retreat' The report, holding that the present trend puts social-club discrimination "in retreat," cited instances in Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland and Syracuse where prestige clubs have admitted Jews, "in some cases ending nearly a By Micltcy Gcrelicfc u century of exclusion." !

NEW YORK (JTA)-More social and prestige clubs have ended discriminatory policies barring Jewish members during the past five years than in the previous GO years of this century, nccording to a report, issued by the American Jewish Committee. The most significant advances have been those achieved in the nation's 20 university clubs. In 19G0, according to the AJC report, only two of these had any Jews on their rolls but, by lf)G5, "13 university clubs had dispensed or were about to dis-

nism in Viet Nam." The JWV commander said his group will seek "to mobilize and activate the' American Jewish c o m in u n i t y to eradicate any doubts about the vital necessity for a decisive victory by whatever m e a n s required in Viet Nam. We will challenge the appeasers, the naive, and the confused." A JWV offer has been made to report on Viet Nam to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the NCRAC. Mr. Waldor and other JWV leaders plan to address meetings throughout the country. JWV Stand Welcomed Defense Department sources have confirmed that the U. S. military establishment, especially Gen, William Westmoreland, commanding o f f i c e r in Viet Nam, welcomed the JWV visit. Mr. Waldor informed the General that Jewish veterans "unequivocally support the war and urge all military steps, including air raids, necessary to obtain victory," Gen. Westmoreland replied that he deeply appreciated the JWV expression and thought more understanding of the war was needed at home. He made known that the Army was sensitive to the response of the American Jewish community. Mr. Waldor and JWV national executive director Monroe Sheinberg flew to Viet Nam at JWV expense. The only transportation nnd facilities provided by the Government were in c o m b a t areas. Escorted Visit Gen. Westmoreland assigned a Jewish escort officer, r.nnt, Sidney Linver, of Toledo, Ohio, to accompany the v e t e r a n s throughout their visit.-Capt. Linver is a regular Army p a r atrooper who commands a 12man advisory detachment attached to South Viet Namese forces. The Viet Cong have put a price on the Captain's head, knowing his role in organizing effective counter-guerrilla ambushes and actions. The Captain has fought in jungles and rice paddies for many months. He speaks Viet Namese. Escorted by Capt. Linver. the JWV leaders went by jeep and helicopter to the Danang, Chulai, and Delta war zones. They witn o s s e d aspects of Operation Starlight and Operation Harvest Moon. They saw screaming jets, laden with napalm bombs, dive at target zones. They also saw Capt. Linver and other Americans organize games for Viet Namese children. In a Saigon square, the group noticed an Israeli flag flying with tho flags of 37 other nations

Along with GO Jewish soldiers from the U. S. First Infantry Division, the famous "Big Red One" of Worid War Two heroism, the veterans attended Friday night services conducted by Major Richard Dreyer, senior Jewish chaplain. At the Oneg Shabbat, the soldiers munched kosher salami and voiced appreciation that American Jewish civilians cared about them and came to visit. Some told of relatives in the JWV and other Jewish organizations. The chaplain noted Capt. Linver's participation in prayers and asked him to return for other services. But the Captain politely explained that his detachment was in action in a remote village many miles away. Rabbi Weinslein Chaplain Dreyer took the occasion to voice resentment at what he considered "ill-advised" peace appeals by Rabbi Jacob Weinstcin, President of the Central C o n f c rence of American Rabbis, said Mr. Sheinberg. According to Mr. Sheinberg, the chaplain complained that the recent San Francisco convention of the Reform rabbinate failed to consider the chaplain's views on Viet Nam, Another source of irritation was the departure for home of a Brooklyn soldier who was an expert baker of water bagels. On the Marine front, the JWV leaders met Lt. Robert Reiner, Jewish chaplain of the 3rd Marine Division. He told how commanding officers provided hirn with an armed helicopter to visit Jewish Marines at outposts. The Chaplain's assistant is a Jewish Marine who is recovering from wounds from a land mine. Capt Linver Accompanied by Capt. Linver, Hie veterans were flown to the U.S.S. Enterprise, the nuclearpowered aircraft carrier, off tho Viet Namese coast. The eight Jewish sailors aboard pointed out that they lacked tho necessary two additional men to make a minion for prayer. They were thrilled by the JWV visit and especially by the presence of paratrooper Captain Linver fresh from the fighting zone ashore. By talking with Capt. Linvcr, the sailors, Jewish and non-Jewish, could realize more vividly the relationship of the carrier's air strikes to the total war effort. It was the first time the newly-arrived carrier had welcomed aboard a fighting man from the Delta battle zone. Capt. Linver said that U. S. Jews wishing to help Viet Namese villagers should send bars of soap, plastic containers of Calamine lotion, and simple toys like rubber balls. Such items can be mailed care of Capt.

Ltn Lcvine of the ''American Jewish World" has come up with a wonderful story about Sandy Koufax. He writes in the November 1!) issue, "Two great names in baseball met during the World Series held in our town recently. The two were Sandy Koufax and a "guy'1 named Felier. After checking out this meeting I learned it wasn't Bob Feller, the former pitching great of the Cleveland Indians but Rabbi Moshe Feller, regional director of the Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, educational arm of the Lubavitcher Hasidic movement. Rabbi Feller paid a visit to Sandy's St. Paul hotel the day after Yom Kippur to give congratulations "for the great as. sist he gave Rabbis and the Jewish educators the world over" by not playing on the Day of Atonement. Sandy Informed the Habbi that he never played on the High Holy Days and that this act was not new for him. Feller presented the star pitcher with a handsome pair of Tefilin. Koufax accepted the Tefilin graciously, commenting on their beauty. He chuckled when Feller told him he had difficulty in deciding whether he

should give him a righthanded or left-handed Tefilin. Jewish, law states that hand Tefilin must be donned on the weaker arm. The Rabbi told Koufax, "Since you bat right and throw left, I couldn't figure out what type to get you. lint considering what your left arm has accomplished I decided that "our ri"ht ami was weaker, and so we got you the type that you put on your right hand." After examining his gift for a short while it appeared to the Rabbi that Sandy was very familiar with Tefilin. I asked Rabbi Feller why ha presented Tefilin to Koufnx and lie said, "Could you think of a better way to honor a person for enhancing Jewish values than by presenting, him with a Mitzva. article, one which the Talmud says is representative of all tha Mitzvos?" That answer was good enough for me. After their approximately ten minute meeting during which Koufax impressed the Rabbi with his humility and couresty they parted with the Rabbi wishing Sandy "Brocha and Ilatzloho" which means blessing and success. Koufax must have passed this blessing around.
