Orthodox Oppose Mixing With Reform,-Conservative Jews New York (JTA)—The Rabbinical Alliance of America, an Orthodox group, denounced this week tiie participation of Dr. Samuel Belkin, president of Yeshiva University, in a dinner of the Synagogue Council of America, at which he was honored. The SCA is the only national religious group representing all three branches of American Judaism. Participation of Orthodox rabbinic;'! ond congregational agencies in the SCA has been the subject of intermittent rlobntfi within the Orthodox community. The Rabbinical Alliance statement, signed by its president, i Rabbi Abraham B. Hecht and published ns a paid advertisement in The New York Times, declared that it .was "shocked
beyond belief" by the fact that "the rabbinic head of Yeshiva University" would accept an honor "together with the heads of the Conservative and Reform Seminaries." The dinner also honored Dr. Louis Finkelstcin, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, and Dr. Nelson Glueck, president of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute, the Reform seminary. The statement said that despite "all the statements and rationalizations" made by Dr. Belkin, his appearance at the dinner "provided a tacit endorsement of the other 'rabbinic seminaries" as equals of Orthodox Seminaries in the category of YeEhiva University, a "distressing disservice to Torah Judaism."
Speaker Refuses So Talk a! Biased Club Lancaster, Pu, (JTA)—James Farmer, former executive director of the Council on Racial Equality, refused to lecture this week in a club charged with discriminating against Jews and Negroes. The Negro civil rights leader, now Professor of Social Welfare at Lincoln University, was echeduled to speak to the University Club of Lancaster at Meadia Heights Country Club here. When informed by the ADL that the country club wa3 biased, a charge he s a i d he checked and found to be true, he refused to speak there. His lecture was transferred to the Franklin and Marshall College here. The Negro leader said that he had asked many artists not to speak at places which bar Jews and Negroes. At his request, an Israeli pianist recently cancelled a concert in Mississippi because the hall "discriminated," he said.
Joey Russell, Jennie Grossinger's favorito singing star and comedian, will be the guest of the Council Bluffs Israel Bond Committee at an Israel Festival on Sunday, December 4, at 8 p. m. at the B'nai Israel Synagogue in Council Bluffs.

Bonn (JTA)—A revival of nn aggresive form of German nationalism was foreseen in political circles hero following the capture by the extreme rightist National Democratic Party of 15 out of 204 seats in the Bavarian legislature. Leaders of tho parly had predicted they would win 14 seats. The N a t i o n a l Democratic Party—consider as a neo-Nazi group—obtained in the elections in Bavaria at least 10 per cent of the total vote. This was considered here a very big victory, especially coming after the success of this party in the Hesse state elections two weeks ago. The fact that the neo-Nazis gained such strength first in Hesse and now in Bavaria despite the fact that there is still no unemployment in West Germany, is taken as an indication that neo-Nnzism is gaining more and more ground in the country. Former Vice-Chancellor Eric Mcnde said that he is sure that iha Notional Democratic Party
will have similar gains in the forthcoming state elections in all sections in the country. Leaders of the National Democratic Party, speaking on television, denied that they are

In addition to his comments on Art, Mr. Kalis will also offer some observations about Jewish life on the Midwestern campus. Some 100 Jewish students are currently enrolled at the college, and Mr. Kalis serves as Advisor to the Jewish Students' Association. Mrs. A. C.

NEW YORK (JTA)—Reacting to neo-Nazi gains in Bavaria, World Jewish Congress president Dr. Nahum Goldniann announced that the WJC's Governing Council has been summoned to meet in London December 12-13 to consider future action. He added that he planned to go to Germany in December. He said that Jews had been worried by the success of the National Democratic Party in the Hesse elections two weeks ago. . "Thirty; years ago, almost to the day, we created the World Jewish Congress to warn the world about the threat of Hitlerism. I do not say we are facing the same situation now —but we Jews and all concerned men—would bo unwise to underestimate tho current trend in Germany," he declared. The election results in Hesse and Bavaria, Dr. Goldmann continued were "more a sign of discontent among a large section of Germans over lack of leadership rather than a rekindling of anti-Semitism on the Hitlerian pattern, but tho world, and the Jewish people in particular, must be extremely watchful, for the Nazis of the early JOs were not considered dangerous at the outset."
mented that when people are asked to de.'.criby Americans, "they often use the same adjectives as for the stereotype Jew: ambitious, active, industrious, ngijre.ssive, and so on." Ife added that if one 'considered the historic stereotype of the Yankee and the Jew. and removed "the labels." it is hard to know which is being talked about." Among scholars who took a less optimistic view were Professors Thomas F. O'Dea of Columbia University, Dennis H. Wrong of New York University and Kobcrt Guttnan of Rutgers University.

Cleveland (JTA) —A. number of the nation's leading social scientists have agreed that there has bt'en a massive reduction of overt anti-Semitism- in the United States since the end of World War II. However, they disagreed over whether widespread hostility Kg;un;;t Jews is likely to recur in this country. Some of the scholars held that anti-Semitism, like other group hatreds, is virtually a closed chapter in the l.'nited Slates and will not happen again. Others argued that, despite the recent improvement, the attitude of the non-Jewish majority will continue to alternate between acceptance and rejection of Jews because 2 co.isideriible amount of latent anti-Semitism remains among the American people. One of the main findings is that overt anti-Semitism has declined sharply since a peak in about 1!)44. Both hostile stereotypes and unwillingness to associate with Jews have shown a marked decline. Jc-ws are increasingly seen a? individuals rather than as a special kind of people with fixed finalities. Another conclusion is that more Americans view Jews as members of a religious group than
they did a generation ago, and fewer hold the mistaken idea that Jews are a race. Latent 1'iejucliei" Another finding is that some degree of latent mid ingrained prejudice remains and could bi' activated by a major upheaval or crisis in American society. The study noted, however, that such postwar developments as the (.-.stnuiishment of Israel, the Korean War, the atomic spy trials, the Sinai campaign and the intensification of the civil rights movement have failed to do this. Points of View Prof. John Higham of the University of Michigan asserted thai ant: Se::;:t:;;rn was a passing phase in the acculturation of Jewish immigrants, a development analogous to the acculturation problems suffered by other alien newcomers. Prof. Morton Keller of Brandeis University expressed g o n e r a 1 agreement saying that the decline of anti-Semitism was "part of a general triumph of the principle:; and practices of cultural pluralism." Prof. Robin Williams Jr. of Cornell University cited a growing resemblance between Jews and otiier Americans and com-
United Nations. N. Y. (JTA)— The Security Council opened its debate on Jordan's complaint against Israel this week with eight of the 15 Council members condemning the Israel retaliatory raid across the Jordanian border on November 13, Taking turns criticizing the Israeli raid as the Council session got underway were all four major powers—the United States, Britain, France and' the Soviet Union^—who were joined by Argentina, Japan, Jordan and New Zealand. Only the New Zealand delegate, Frank Corner, stated that there were good reasons for Israel's action. Mr. Corner spoke about the "ineffectiveness" of the Security Council in the session last month on a coiriplaint by Israel against Syria in connection with the mounting guerrilla-* raids. He said Israel's complaint was justified but noted that a resolution asking Syria to act to prevent such raids was vetoed by the Soviet Union. Goldberg: Critical Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, chief of the United States delegation,* told the Security Council that Israel's action was "clearly a • violation" of the armistice agreement between Israel and-Jordan, He urged the Security Council "to speak out firmly" against a policy of retaliation. He added that "the destructive raid" by Israel could

In a statement referring to Ambassador Goldberg's speech in the U.N. Security Council condemning the raid on Jordan, Mr. Torczyner claimed that it was the "failure" of the United Nations "which has forced Israel to defend itself." He added: "If the Soviet Union had not vetoed a mild resolution" in its last series of meetings "condemning Syria for its repeated aggressions and murderous incursions into Israel, this situation would have been avoided."

THE JEWISH TRESS

New York — The American Jewish Congress in a major policy statement called this week on local Jewish federatioas and welfare funds to assume major responsibility for meeting the cost of Jewish education "in all its forms and on all levels." The proposal was the first such by a national Jewish organization. Paiil Vishny of Chicago, chairman of the'Commission en Jewish Affairs of the Congress, said that the proposal if adopted would bring a significant change in the ' traditional means by which Jewish education in this country has been supported. Mr. Vishny listed three major problems now confronting the congregations and educational bodies that operate Jewish schools: 1) A serious shortage of trained teachers and other personnel. 2) Growing pressures to raise educational quality by revising curricula and introducing new teaching methods. 3) A need for greater community coordination and planning in the setting of educational standards and a more economical use of school facilities. Only if Jewish federations and welfare funds assume major financial responsibility for Jewish education can these needs bemety the Congress statement declared. Currently, Jewish federatioas

pern, of 1'randcis University, who contended that, in the final analysis, the United States was no different .from other countries in attitudes toward Jews, and that American anti-Semitism was one example of the perennial ambivalence of Christians toward Jews—the uneasy balance of tolerance and rejection which, lie declared, Christians have maintained, which has usually fallen short of acceptance on the one hand and genocide on the other. He asserted that acceptance of Juda-
ism as an "American faith." when voiced by Christians, frequently implies "a decree of confidence thai Judaism is progressing t o w a r d .'.ubnu.-rCeru-e." The growing willingness of Americans to associate with American Jews was documented in data reported by Prof. Steinber. He cited the widespread disapproval of restrictive quotas on admission of Jewish applicants to colleges, which were widely approved in the HMO's; the steadily increasing number of respondents expressing willingness of their children to associate with Jewish children and the virtual unanimity of public rratiiiiprs from the
late HJlO's on, to work in association with Jews. By the early liifin's, "an overwhelming majority of Americans appeared ready to accept individual Jews as next-door neighbors. Another finding was that among non-Jews, sentiment against intermarriage waned between 1950 and KlfiZ and "acceptance of Jewish employes, fellow students and neighbors." The data also showed that tho decline of anti-Semitism seems to have been somewhat greater among women, younger people, city dwellers, Easterners, Catholics and person;?1 of high income than among their opposite numbers.
Hitler Aide Declares: LONDON (JTA)-Albert Speer, Hitler's Minister for Munitions, told the Daily Express this week that the German people accepted wartime explanations that Jews were being placed in war camps after Nazi roundup because they wanted to believe it and could have learned the truth "but we did jiot seek to find it." Speer. who was released last month from Spandau Prison in West Berlin after serving a 20-year sentence from war crimes imposed by the Allied Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, included himself as one of the Germans who could have made "forceful inquiries" and did not do so. "There is nothing that can absolve me," he added in the interview. He asserted that "it was made clear at Nuremberg and tho court 1accepted it that I did not know about the concentration camp.' He added that he was "overcome when forced to look at the films of those camps in court." Speer told the interviewer that "no German couid conmliiin about the Nuremberg trials" and that he welcomed the trials as the first positive fart that the trials took some of the collective built from the German people and apportioned it squarely on the shoulders of the leadership. "I have a conscience about the Jews and it is one of the hardest things I have' to bear," he stated. "I think of it constantly."
Washington (JTA) — The Bureau of Census announced officially this week that it would not include any questions on religion in the next decennial population survey to be made in 1970. The Bureau had originally considered such questions for the census, replies for which would have been mandatory,
but a number of Jewish organizations, including the American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish C o n g r e s s lodged strong objections to the proposal. In announcing the decision not to include questions on religion in the regular census, A. Ross Eckler, director of tho Bureau, said that numerous proposals for a question on church affiliation or preference had been rejected because "a substantial number of persons again expressed an extremely strong belief that asking such a question would infringe upon the traditional separation of church and stale." Mr, Eckler, suggested, however, that some form of question on religious preference or affiliation be added at soino point during one of the Bureau's interim surveys. "In such a survey," he noted, "response would be voluntary."

Student leaders said a large proportion of students would be forced to abandon their studies if the 100 per cent increase was made effective.

New York (JTA)--An appeal for a world boycott of W c s t Germany's Obcrammergau Passion Pjay, to protest a refusal by the village players to discard their "intensely anii-Sejnetic text," was endorsed here this week by 11 lending authors, poets and other cultural personalities. They joined with the American Jewish Congress in that appeal at a press conference in which they declared that "the teachings of the Vatican Council seemingly have been lost On the resident of Oborammergaii." The villagers, who are the players and sponsors of the Passion Play, presented every ten years, rejected last month proposed alternatives to the present script which portrays the Jewish people as the killers of Jesus. The 11 cultural leaders were Jacob Glatstein, the Yiddish poet and novelist; Critic Irving
Sfadassali Dedicates Kennedy Building Jerusalem (JTA)-A $1,000.000 building bearing the name 01 the late U, S. President John F. Kennedy was dedicated here at the HadassahHcbrew University Medical Center. The structure, according to Mrs. Merti' mer Jacobson, national president of Hadasah, the women's Zionist organization of America, who participated in the dedication, is the organization's tribute to the memory of Mr, Kennedy. The building, she said, will serve as an information and tourist reception unit for the Medical Center. Mrs. Jacobson recalled that, in a message to the Hadassah convention in 1UI>2, Mr. Kennedy had stated: 'Not only Israel but the entire free world benefits from such projects as the HadassahHcbrew University Medical Center."
Synagogue Sets Sifls From Baptist fiayor Savannah, Ga. (JTA)—Mayor J.

Mayor Lewis has presented similar tracts to various other houses of worship and to the YMCA of Savannah.

Mr. Bikel joined with Dh Joachim Prinz, chairman of the AJCongress Commission on International Affairs, in issuing the statement which was cosigned by the other 10 personalities. The statement added that the Oljeriiiiiiiici'gau v i l l a g e r s remained as prejudiced as they were "throughout the Hitler era," and (hat their position rained questions about the claim there was now "a new Germany with a new spiritual and intellectual atmosphere." Dr. Prinz said invitations were being sent to leading writers, dramatists and performing artists in Germany and other countries, asking them to join the appeal for the boycott, The signers denounced the "apparently unconquerable bigotry" of the villagers in refusing to discard "discredited canards against the Jewish people." The Passion Play has been using since 18G0 a text by J. A. Daisenberger. Rehearsals for the 1U70 p e r f o r m a n c e s are scheduled to begin soon in the Bavarian village. Last October 15, the villagers said they had rejected a recently-found text written in 1750 by a Benedictine monk because it "avoids restating the charge of collective deicide against World Jewry." Hans Schwaighofer, the play's director, thereupon resigned. The statement by the cultural leaders applauded his action.

The view of many dermatologists in America appeared to be that not only were a handful of SS fanatics to blame but that thousands of German physicians expediently collaborated with the regime of Adolf Hitler.

By J. I. I'islibcln Some years ogo, as the re suit of nn article in a New York newspaper, there developed a feeling among American Jews that thousands of Japanese, were converting to Judaism. This, according to the article, was a result of the war and the subsequent decline of Emperor worship associated with Shintoism. The truth, of course, is that there has been little if any such conversion. Some dozen Japanese women who have married Jews have converted and keep the faith, but that is the extent of the movement. The Jewish Community Center in Tokyo is the homo of the organized Jewish Community of. J a p a n. It was founded in 1953, through the purchase of the present property by tho Jewish Community of Japan which was originally formed in 1948 and incorporated in 1853. Jewish Community Center The purposes of the Jewish Community of Japan and its center are to provide a nucleus of life in Japan for its Jewish residents—first, to educate Jewish children living in Japan to Judaism and a strong sense of Jewish identity; second, to provide essential Jewish community services impossible on a private or family b a s i s ; and third, to represent the image of the Jew and Judaism to the Japanese authorities and people. In addition, the center serves to provide a vigorous social life and to strengthen the ties nmong Jewish residents in Japan. Membership is ope n to all Jewish residents in Japan. It currently includes 150 families comprising about 400 souls. About one-third are American citizens, one-third are Israelis and one-third are a variety of other nationalities, including EOme Japanese. Most of the members are businessmen in the foreign trade, banking, finance, transportation, insurance nnd allied fields. Included also are a number of lawyers, diplomats, doctors, journalists, professors and musicians. In general, members and their families are semi-permanent residents who travel widely, with most visiting the U. S., Europe, Israel and other countries at least once every two or three years. Religion Religious activities include regular Friday night and Saturday morning services, plus observance of all major holidays. As the Jewish Community Center houses the only synagogue in eastern Japan, it can be neither Orthodox, Conservative nor Reform, but serves members of all shades of belief. The actual ritual followed may, ba called Conservative. A fuUtime rabbi has been employed for many years. Sinco his recent departure in June, 1965, the organization is seeking a worthy successor.

For Women Only1I. This year it was my turn to have the family for Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten minutes before my guests were to arrive, as I was frantically polishing tho last piece of silver, I recalled something I had read about the revered titles "Ilalabusta" and "Bairia." Since these words may mean nothing to the very young, very Americanized, very m o d e r n Jewish wives and mothers, I'll try to explain. As with many Yiddish phrases, there is no way to translate into English that'will carry the same flavor —r-tho words simply don't exist. The best explanation I can give is that while I polished silver 10 minutes before pnrty time, n Iialabusta would have done it Hie w e e k before, and the Ilairia's silver never needs polishing—It's always clean. In the article I read (the author and the publication escape me) the explanation was given that one cannot be a selfproclaimed Balabusta. It is a title that must be earned and is generally bestowed by a mother on her daughter, or, more grudgingly, on her daughter-inlaw. Sometimes other female relatives bestow the decree, and if one entertains at enough committee meetings, the title may be authentically pronounced by the Sisterhood president or the Philanthropies chairman. The same requirements exist for the title of "Bairia" which really means "Balabusta Magna Cum Laudc." I think it's kind of sad that these two marvelous titles no longer have the importance they once did. Back in the good old days, before a woman felt the need "for expression" outside the confines of her home, having the reputation of being a Balabusta was the all-encompassing goal of her life. Tho Balabusta's home was her career and she wouldn't risk losing her coveted title for the satisfactions to be found in ballet dancing, college courses, painting pictures or e v e n editing newspapers. Requirements Now inrny c a s e , I wasn't risking a thing by becoming a newspaper editor, A Balabusta I never was. Even before I became a career woman, I polished the silver 10 minutes before the company came. I mastered some of the requirements for "Balabustaism," but then some little detail would always goof up the whole works. Like baking for instance. I can bake a chocolate cake—from scratch —as good if not better than that of any recognized Balabusta or Bairia—but it doesn't count because I always drip chocolate on the r e c i p e card and the smears remain for all to see. The Balabusta has plastic covers for all her recipe cards so they arc always neat and clean. Tiie Bairia doesn't use recipe cards—she knows all the recipes by heart. . •• Then there's a category for personal appearance. A Balabusta can talce last year's dress and with a twist of a new scarf make it look like a new Paris creation. The Bairia can get the same effect with a 5-yearold dress and last year's scarf. With me—last year's dress is always too small and I can never remember where I put the scarf. Home Beautiful Likewise with home decorating. The Balabusta and the Bairia can follow the directions in House Beautiful and from an orange crate smeared with a little painfc come up with an elegant living room • table or bedroom chest. I can-follow-'the snmo directions and when I'm through I've got an orange crato smeared with paint.
So listen—not everyone can be president, and not all women can be Balabustas, and I'm one of the losers. Even though I can't do it, I know what it takes, and for those interested in testing your Balabusta potential I've devised the following test. (Be honest with your answers— a true Balabusta never lies!) Can You Answer Yes? 1. If you suddenly discovered you had to leave town tomorrow would you be able to do so without making a mad rush to the cleaners for one hour service; without staying up all night to fix the skirt zipper that broko last month; and without searching frantically through 5 purses • to find just one pair of clean wliite gloves? 2. While you are on this mythical trip and your mother-in-law is at your house staying with the kids, are you secure with, the thought that if she looks in your clothes closets, or at the bottoms of your pots and pans, or even in your desk drawer that all will be in order. IS. On the day you return from your trip you find Johnny in bed with a cold, a leak in the dishwasher, the grocery supply sadly depleted and just as 15 cub scouts with muddy shoes arrive for the den meeting, the phone rings and your husband Sciys he's bringing home an old college' chum to meet you. Do you say sweetly "How "nicewhy not bring him for dinner— I'm sure I can whip up something." 4. If you answered yes to the above (which all of us nonBalabustas will find difficult to believe) are you then able to follow through and in one hour get rid of the scouts, clean up the mess, prepare a gourmet meal from peanut butter, rusted lettuce and orange popcicles, and in gold s a t i n "at homo gown" greet hubby and chum at the door with martinis already mixed? 5. Do you b a k e your own bread, pickle your own pickles, can your own carrots, and do your plastic coated recipe cards include recipes for gelifite fish and kishka as well as those for pizza and shrimp Creole? • G. Do you wash.the washable tennis shoes, use cloth napkins even for breakfast, have the house spotlessly clean by 10 a.m. even on the day the cleaning woman is coming, and never have three odd socks left over when you wash clothes? 7. Do you check the kids overshoes before the first snow and have bathing suits ready before the pool opens; do you pay bills before discounts expire and always keep the check book accurately balanced; do you entertain often and graciously and never build up a backlog of social obligations; and do you always finish your spring cleaning before fall? 8. Do you always speak to the children in quiet well-modulated tones even when you're not out in public; do you always serve tasty well-balanced meals by candlelight and are you completely ignorant, by choice, of the varieties of frozen T.V. dinners? The list is endless, but I trust you get the idea. A Balabusta is a super talented, super organized super deluxe household engineer and a Bairia is even more unbelievable. I've known a few so-called Balabustas, but I've often suspected that their mothers may have cheated a bit in order to give them the title. . ..:•: One thing has always bothered me about Balabustas. If they'ro not polishing silver, what do they do during tho 10 minutes before (he company comes? ,

'Mil BOX Bv RABBI SAMUKL J. FOX QUESTION': Why do Ijride and groom cusloniaiilv fast on their wedding'day? • ANSWER: A number of reasons are advanced for this practice. It is first mentioned in the work of Eleazer Rokeach of Worms (Hilchot Bcrachot 353:78c). In his own opinion the fast was a demonstration of the special attention paid by the couple to the fulfillment of a religious commandment. This fast was, then, like the practice of the pietists who would fast before performing a special commandment. Some claim that the fast of the bride and groom is representative of the fact that the people of Israel fasted upon the occasion of receiving the Torah at Sinai which is regarded as the marriage- between the Almighty and Israel. Others say the fast is observed because one's wedding day is like the Day of Atonement because it is a day of judgment and the sins of bride and groom are forgiven on that day just as they are for all of us on Yom Kippur. Still others claim that the fast wns instituted so as to keep the bride and groom sober and in full presence of mind so that the ceremony would command their full faculties and complete free will, since the absence of such free will which might come about in a state of intoxication would cast doubts on the validity of the marriage.
New York fJTA)—Interfaith dialogues and other programs aimed at bringing Catholics and Jews closer together have had little or no effect in changing deeply held positions on birth control, public funds for parochial schools and other church-state issues, the American Jewish Congress reported last week. Despite the new look in Catholic-Jewish relations since the Ecumenical Council, differences between the two groups remain "as wide as ever" on both public and theological questions, it was stated. Howard M. Squadron, chairman of the Commission on Law and Social Action of the AJ Congress, said he was "neither surprised nor disappointed" that closer ties had not led to fewer differences. "Dialogue does not have to resuit in agreement," he declared. "It does serve a useful purpose by exposing different points of view to rational exploration rather than emotional explosions." He added however that it was "not unusual for Jews and Catholics to oppose each other at a public hearing on an issue of church-state separation
