Strike of Cemetery Workers Creates Havoc for N.Y. Jews New York (JTA)-The Savings Bunks Association of New York, coordinating body of the state's mutual savings banks, has issued an illustrated booklet soliciting applications for jobs from people of "a variety of ethnic and reHyious backgrounds.'" The booklet -the first of its kind—was praised by the American Jewish Committee, which has been active in opposing job discrimination in the fields oi banking, insurance, utilities and large corporate business. Representatives of the American Jewish Committee have been meeting with representatives of the Association on problems of discrimination following a study made by the AJCoinrnittee last year which revealed that there are less than ;!,!> per cent of Jews among the 750 trustees of New York City's 50 mutual savings banks, and less than 2.5 per cent of Jews among their 400 top executives. A year after the original report was made public, the AJCommittce reported t h a t

these banks had increased the number of their Jewish trustees by more than one third although the number of Jewish executive officers had remained substantially the same. A national survey of executive positions in the .10 leading commercial banks across the country revealed last September that Jews were filling only l.:i per er.nt of the senior posts and 0.!> per cent of the middle management posts. Theodore F.llenoff, vice-president of the Anii/rican Jewish Committee's New York chapter and chairman of its Civil Rights and Social Action Committee, said: "We welcome the publica-

tion and wide distribution of this booklet as one .of a scries of actions taken by the State's mutiuil savings banks to let people of all backgrounds know that this Jield is not only open to them but oilers opportunities for advancement. The b o o k l e t states this policy clearly and concisely, and as it is put into the hands of school guidance counsellors and of the public and private agencies which work with minority and disadvantage! people, the ethnic and religious balance in the State's mutual savings hanks should become more nearly representative of the population."

Catholic Priest Defends Tcdmud Rome OTA)—A Paris Catholic Institute priest told .i Gregorian University audience here that it was "absolutely untrue" that such Jewish religious works as the Talmud or the Shulchan Aruch condemn Christianity or express antagonism to it. He declared that charges of Jewish hostility a g a i n s t Christianity stemmed mostly from the fact that the Christian censors of the Talmud changed and substituted words, either in ignorance oi •with the purpose of ''proving'' Jewish enmity against Chris tians. Father Hruby, the speaker, said that prior to the Crusades a "true dialogue" was beginning to develop between Christianity and Judaism, but that the era of the Crusades destroyed all such efforts.

Personnel Cut for Hadassah Hospital Jerusalem UTA>—The Hadassah Hospital will dismiss 50 staff members in the first stage of a retrenchment program because of accumulated deficits, hospital officials said this week. The announcement was made after a meeting with American Hadassah leaders. Mrs. Charlotte Jacobson, president of Hadassah, said that the accumulated d e f i c i t totaled $2,000,000. She added that even collection of $10,000,000 annualJy in the United States by Hadassah would not suffice to meet the deficit. £••0000800000000000OOOO <^

The station was accused oj broadcasting false and defamatory material of an anti-Semitic nature. The FCC held that tha station had fulfilled its obligations by offering radio time for replies to those mentioned in its broadcasts. In his petition to the FCC which is shortly to decide whether to reopen the Station KTYlit case, Morris B.

As it .stands, Mr. Abram said, the FCC ruling permits stations to cany programs "which promote ye--ligious prejudice as a regular and continuous policy."

There have been many developments since those days. During (he past year alone some 16.000 Germans have visited Israel, and their presence is unmistakeably felt on the beaches, in the hotels and on the roads. Moral Missions Of tlic;e, about a thousand .'ire on moral missions. They belong to special groups first organized on a small scale in l!)f>0 by the Protestant church in Germany to help make the youth feel a sense of atonement for the sins of their elders. They come to Israel to perform physical labor in aid of the victims of the Nazis. Some of them have helped to build homes and institutions for blind, or crippled or other handicapped children. A larger number go to kibbutzim to do physical labor on the soil. Only about eight or nine kibbutzim are willing to accept them. Says one kibbutz spokesman, who views the project with sympathetic cooperation: We do not subscribe to the race theory that every German is a Nazi. We do not forget the past, but if we- want a belter future we must help Germans of good will take their steps back toward national normalcy. Tourists The great majority of Germans in Israel are just tourists, however. They have come to see, to hear, to learn—and to enjoy themselves. It is significant that organized groups which can indicate that the purpose of their visit is primarily to learn about Israel and its people, and to promote closer understanding between the two nations, receive very liberal subsidies from the Bonn Government.. Such financial aid may well account for the large number of German visitors. A German can visit almost any country in the Western world without need for a visa. For Israel, however, he must apply for entry permit, and on the application questionnaire are questions regarding his past. A further deterrent factor is his fear: how will he be treated in Israel? How should he behave? After all, he is going for a vacation. On the whole the Germans are properly received. Unpleasant incidents have been few and far between. At worst, some Israelis are aloof. The Germans are eager to see v/jth their own eyes the things they have heard about at home, or have seen on television. They ask questions, they take notes. Reactions Most of their tours include visits to the Yad V'Shoni memorial to the six million in Jerusalem, or to the Concentration Camp Museum at Lochamei Haghettact kibbutz near Acre. A few of the Germans prefer not to enter. Some, who do, occasionally break down. Their Israeli guides report that most are deeply affected. In some cases they have cancelled visits to night clubs scheduled for the same evening after exposure to ihe horrors of the exhibits. Several million traveling Germans today constitute the backbone of the tourist industry in Europe find beyond. Israe) travel agencies have opened offices

in Germany to bid for an increasing share of this market, and the Israel Government Tourist officials have al.so opened a branch in Frankfort. Israels in Germany Not long ago a group of eighteen Israeli students, a;;cd 2U :>(), spent three weeks in Germany to explore the possibilities of dialogue and confrontation between the youth of the two lands. A committee of Israeli educators has just completed a mission in Germany, and further groups of Israeli youth are expected to go there. The reasoning is logical: Even with the growth of a neoNazi movement—perhaps espe-

cially for that reason—every effort should be made to remind Germans of what Nazism meant, and to encourage those with. democratic and humanitarian impulses to resist any such new developments. To place them in perpetual moral excommunication, nntl to abandon them to new fermentations might well breed fresh disaster lor mankind. And so Israelis receive thQ German tourists, with a wan. smile, and a heart heavy with memories, and a hope that this new generation may be helped to le;irn Srnm the )>ilti>r It.ssons

In not one of these Instances •was a word of censure uttered. Can it be that of nil the nations in the world, Israel alone ir, a repeated mischief maker? San it be that of all powers engaged in conflict .since the end oi the Second World War, the equities ore clear, Hie Issues are black nnd white, only as they apply to Israel? The mere citing of these facts is enough to expose the Rrotesqueness of the Security Council's most recent action. 'League of N'.-ilions The mere citing of these facts is enough to mine the most serious doubts about the moral conditions of the United Nations. To single out one .state, and it is not coincidental that it is the only state in the world without even a single ally, is to pass a jiiilfimcn'. less upon the ;;tate than upon the judge. The United Nations is discrediting;: itself at ;s time when it can least afford to do so. This war. the beginning; of the downfall of the League of Nations. It permitted G r e a t Britain, the Lissjiuenuthoriml mandatory power for Palestine, ,to undertake one appeasement nfter another of Arabs at the exoense of Jews in Palestine. In 1022, Arabs rioted, and Palestine was partitioned by Great Hritnin. The League was silent. In 1029, Arabs rioted and Jewish immigration was severely curtailed by Great Britain. The League, was silent. In 1030, Arabs rioted and an 'edict banning nil future immigration was issued by Great Britain. The League was silent. Silently it went to its doom when I t a l y invaded Ethiopia nnd not a word of protest was issued. The League- died and the Emperor of Ethiopia delivered the eulogy. 'UN Cannot F.ndurc' The United Nations c innnt Jong endure if it will continue to pretend to discharge obligations and prove its virility at the expense of the weakest of its members. If it will insist upon assuming the role of a kangaroo court, then increasingly, it will be judged in that light, discredited and f i n a l l y abandoned. God help mankind then. I want to stress that I do not seek to defend Israel's most recent incursion into J o r d a n . There are misgivings about this action in Israel itself. I submit only that to have acted so severely ngainst Israel •while ignoring the ongoing encroachments by Arab nations is to make a mockery and n sham of international justice. It is liko the action of the police Inv the South who jail Negroes when they are attacked by w h i t es, Thus the action of the Security Council represents a t h r e a t tgninst the United Notions. • The action of tlio Security Council rtjpresetiLs yet onottv *r threat against the m o r a l

l e a d e r s h i p and credibility of our n-ilion, the United State's. When Israel, in HMii, drove the invading Arabs to the S i n a i Peninsula, our government demanded that Israel withdraw or else face a re-examination of our nation's relations with the new Slate. Then in IMG, Israeli forces drove Kgypt's Iroops toward Cairo. Our government again assumed a highly moral pose, chiding Israel and threate n i n f! ominous consequences. Yet, except for traffic in the sale of armaments in the Middle East in order to maintain a balance of terror, w h a t evidence is there of an earnest peace effort on our part in that sector of the world?. But even more, our righteous posture in the Middle East is hardly consistent with our own nation's position when it considers its own interests to be involved in other places. One would think (bat there were two separate nations, each called the United Slales. The United .States which shared in (he repealed condemnations of I s r a e l anil commanded it lo withdraw from Die Sinai Peninsula Is (he same United States w h I c h invaded (he sovereign territory of (lie Dominican Republic. It is the same United States which has mounted an aerial assault for well over a year upon North Viet Nam which, incidentally, has not encroached upon a square inch of American territory. It is the same United Stater, which has pursued its enemies into the sovereign territory of Cambodia and exacted destruction upon that free and independent nation. It is the same United States which now finds itself as n military presence in Thailand under conditions omiiiou.sly similar to our first days in Viet Nam. Truly, we might direct Abraham's challenge of God to our own g o v e r n m e n t , "Will the judge of all the earth not do justly?" No n a t i o n pursuing such a course of double morality can expect to retain the following of the free world except by force of arms and economic assistance. But when the moral credibility is lost, the force of arms becomes more and more coercive; the economic assistance is diverted to shore up puppet governments which steal and d e f r a u d and grow rich, while the people perish. Threat Against Israel The action of the Security Council represents a t h r e a t against the State of Israel. Let

no one be deceived. Repealed resolutions of censure are not a mere reprimand. They represent a withdrawal of (be moral support which a nation, especially one as beleagured as Israel, cannot do without. For a state to live under the threat and isolation is too great a burden to bear. Even Communist China cannot endure this, and this accounts in no small measure for its paranoid relationship to the rest of the world! Above all, censure by the United Nations, under the leadership of our own government, is a cue to the enemies of Israel. It releases them from restraint. It says in effect that they may continue their harassment and worse while Israel stands alone, with hands tied behind its back. Is this the United Nation's definition of morality, that half a loaf is better than none; that when two nations cannot be compelled to observe the rules, at least one should be forced to obey? Is this the morality of our world, that it is Israel's historic role to submit even if no one else does? This interpretation of morality enabled Western civilization to uafcli (lie annihilation of six million Jews, 'ibis version of morality allowed the West to see Jews drown within view of harbors that would not let them in. This view of Western sportsmanship permitted Aral) nations to invade Israel while a spectator world watched from the sidelines. This version of morality can plunge the world into a holocaust, because the Stale of Israel will not place its neck on (he block (his lime. It could be (he undoing of Israel, but it could also he the undoing of the nations, not because I s r a e I would bring this about, but because if (lie nations cannot establish peace (berc, (hey cannot establish it anywhere. Threat (o Jewish People The action of the Security Council represents a threat to the Jewish people. Let no one think that Israel's crisis leaves us immune. We are bound to each other, we to Israel and Israel to us, by the same cords that join Siamese twins. We are one s p i r i tually. We are one physically. And even if we are not onq politically, we are a people, one people. We are too depleted, we are too embattled to hope to escape the injury that befalls any one segment of our people. How many more losses can we sustain? We wage n war for survival on multiple fronts. Russian Jewry is gasp-

Flv«

in;; for its life. Israeli Jewry is besieged by enemies, find belabored by those who call themselves its Iriends. If, lor flic past (unity years, American Jews have believed (hat (lit-y were sustaining Israel by (heir dimities and their benefactions, lei them walic up. Let them realize thai Israel has also helped them, (bat (he whole world lias conic (o look upon (he Jew with new eyes and new regard because ol Israel. Let them pause from their smug condescension towards I s r a e l and [rum their t r a f i i c in plaques, and learn that a major pillar of our strength and our very survival is the State of Israel. And let those Jews who arc liberals when Judaism is not at stake, who fight the good light in every freeflom-ctiu.se, l»arn three things. F i r s t , a cause i,s no less a f r e e d o incause because it is Jewish. Second, the test of your frecdomconsciousness is your readiness or lack of readiness to identify with your own people, when it is in trouble. Third, as Mordecai said to Esther, "Think not you alone .shall escape." These., arc Hie issues. They aflecl Israel. They affect America. They affect Jews. They affect (he world. What is to be done? My .suggestions fall into two categories. .Moral Decision In the first, we must come to a moral and rational decision. It is that if Jews and others in the United States believe that an injustice against Israel is being enacted, they should speak out. If; on the one hand, we should conclude that Israel has acted unjustly, as members of this people, one p e o p 1 e, we should not hesitate to say so. If, at the same time, we conclude that Israel is being singled out for punishment in a double standard of morality we should .say so vehemently. We s h o u l d say so as Jews. We should say so as Americans. Americans as well as Jews may ask why a policy of appeasing Arabs, proven bankrupt in both war and in peace, continues to he pursued. Americans as well as Jews may ask why, after having given Nasser a victory in 1U5C, a victory which has proven disastrous to the fortunes of the West, we are opening the doors for similar debacles. Americans as well as Jews may ask why the State Department, long before a Jewish state came into being, was intent upon blocking Jewish inspirations. Is oil thicker than blood? Reassemble Its Forces Second, the American Jewish community must reassemble its forces. It is in sad disarray. A backward glance at the unity of American Jewry from 1312 to 1017 will dramatize the disunity and fragmcntalion Into which we have fallen. Our success and our prosperity have blinded us. They have given us a euphoric sense of our situation, unwarranted by world and Jewish conditions. Our stress upon the cenlralily of the synagogue has unfortunately b e e n accompanied by a downgrading of secular agencies which are indispensable to the well-being of American Jewry. The s y n a gogues alone cannot perform the task which crisis after crisis in Jewish life puts upon us. As a result, we have dismantled and weakened some of the most effective agencies contributing toward authentic Jewish existence in this country. In addition, we have adamantly refused to listen, to any call for united action within American Jewry. We have rejected appeals for collective consultation and action. The closest we have come to a measure of unity is through the heads of national

bodies who act in concert with one another but not in coiurrfc with the Jews of the United States. They are good people, but the very .structure of their council precludes the d e m Ocratlc process by w h i c h not hundreds but hundreds of thousands of Jews should be involved. It vitiates the strength that could well up from American Jewry if we were adequately informed and effectively motivated. What cl.se must happen before American Jews are emboldened and electrified to acting as a community, not as a straggling rabble, relinquishing its latent passion, its wisdom, its strivings to a conscientious group of men who do not speak for A m c r i c a n Jewry even though they do speak for their 'respective a g e n c i e s . Nor is their collective, wisdom a substitute for collective consultation and collective action. Proposes National Assembly I propose that an assembly of national .selected reprc.SL.MSatives from as many groups as will send them,, be convened to consider the problems of Israel and American J e w r y in tho light of the most recent events. Questions imis( be asked. Issues must be defined. Actions must be taken, all within the light of day. If American Jewry is to play the part which history places upon us, if we arc not to rebuff history, then the interaction of men, organizations and ideas must be stimulated, Without this, future leaders will be aborted. Without this, knowledge and deliberation will be stifled. Without this, there can be no Jewish people in the sense in which we understand it. Let us then put aside our parochial differences. Let us span the distances between the many islands of Jewish existence in a sea of storm and trouble. Let us live our conviction that wo are a people, one people. "O you afflicted, tempest tossed and not comforted . . . in righteousness shall you be e s t a b lished . . . No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tone that shall arise against you in judgment shall you reject.

Philosophy Is Basic Most of us give little conscious thought to •philosophy." It has a bookish, academic sound. We're more like the two tea-drinkers, famed in Yiddish humor. As he sipped his tea. one remarked. ''Life is like a glass of tea." "How i.s life like a glass ci tea?'' asked his 'drinking companion. ''How should I know," was the reply, "Am 1 a philosopher?" Yet, if we were required to move to another country to resettle, we would be mighty careful to avoid those with a way of life opposed to what we believe. I dare say we would seek a land where they respected difference, respected the individual, equality under the Jaw, freedom of expression, thought and worship, and all of the elements of democracy expressed in our American Bill 01 Rights and in our Jewish tradition. We would. I think'avoid nations that practice discrimination, that avort the free practice of religion, that subordinate the rights and dignity of the individual, We might explain our thinking and decision by .saying, "We don't believe in their way of life."' We might say. "We couldn't live that way," We might add, "We wouldn't! want our children to grow up in such an atmosphere." How ever we worded it. we would be expressing the conviction that the climate of a nation. of a community, of a home—of a camp—is based upon a set of beliefs and -values that define and describe the nature of life in that setting, what is accepted and what is not.

YOUTH COUNCIL BASKETBALL LEAGUE The only big question that remains in the Youth Council League is not who the champions of each division will be, but how long C'haim Weizmann's basketball teams can remain untleleatecl. It has been the "Wc-izniunn Era" in basketball this season. Their "A" and "B" Teams eacli have amassed 'JO records. 'J'lie true basketball ability of the "B" team has not yet been tested, lor it is a common knowledge that an athlete excclls in good, hard competition. We may just have to hold an equivelant to the Super Bowl at the end of the year. This contest would pit the "H" Team champions against the "A" Team champions. An appropriate name might he 'The Weizmann Bowl," Chaim Wcismanri "A" finally came to the realization that it is possible for them to lose. A fired up and determined Hayim crew, led by the line sophomore Dave Katz almost overturned the apple cart for the undefeated Weizmann team. Weizmann ^vas playing without Brud Grossman, but Ron Rubin filled in with a tremendous rebounding effort. Weizmann trailed by 5 midway in the final half. But the "Big Red" finally came to life to come from behind, to win 53-46, thus spoiling a chance for the biggest upset of the year. Maynard Belzer finally found the range, and scored twelve of his total eighteen in the final half. Todd Greenstone and Tom Kirshenbaum each contributed II to the offensive attack. Dave Katz led the losers with 2G.
