NEW YORK (JTA)~The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America and the Rabbinical Council of American announced this week in seperate statements that the two Orthodox organizations will not participate in the Interreligious Conference in Boston on May 7 of which the Synagogue Council of America is one of three co-sponsors. The other two sponsors are the National Council of Churches and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. The SCA is made up of the six major congregational and rabbinical associations of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism. The two Orthodox: groups have been, under consistent criticism from other Orthodox organizations for their membership ta the SCA.
" Dr. Maurice Schwartz
Dr. Joseph Karasick, UOJCA president, said that the organization' board of directors also had decided not to authorize the participation of the SCA in similar conferences hereafter. Since each of the six constituent f.gencies has a veto, the board's decision means that the SCA cannot participate in such gatherings after the May 7 conference. Rabbi Pesach Levovitz, presldent of the Rabbinical Council, said that his organization was asking that the May 7 conference be postponed and that if the request' for postponement was not accepted, "wo must dissociate ourselves from U19 sponsorship endorsement and, of course, participation in tho 803ton Conference."

282 Congressmen Appeal To Moscow on Soviet Jews Washington (JTA) — Approximately two-tliirds of the members of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing all 50 states of the Union, joined in a Passover eve a p p e a l to the Soviet Union to ease religions and c u l t u r a l restrictions on Jews. A total of 2!I2 Congressmen signed a joint statement initiated by Rep. Jonathan li. Uir.g ham, New York Democrat. Signatories included Speaker of the House Jon McCormael:, Massachusetts Democrat; Chainn a n Thomas Morgan, Pennsylvania Democrat, of the House Committee on F o r e i g n Affairs: House Minority Leader Gerald F o r d of Michigan and Rep. Glenn Cunningham of Nebraska. The r joint « t » I p !n<*n! condemned "the s tl p p r e asion of J e w i s h .spiritual and cultural life in the USSR," Last year 90 of the 100 members of the Senate signed a similar statement. This year's .statement charged that "The Government of the USSR continues to pursue a program calculated to destroy the means of Jewish cultural and spiritual survival, and to break the will of Soviet Jewry to live as Jews,' 1 The s i g n a t o r i e s ' c a l l e d for emigration of Jews who want to
leave the Soviet U n i o n . The statement cited the expression of Premier Alexi K o s y g i n in which the Russian leader said Jews were free to depart from his country to j o i n relatives abroad. The Congressmen said "We await translation of those words into deeds."

The machine, designed by Dr. Aharon KatzirKatehalsky, head of the Polymer Research Department of the Weizmann Institute, converts energy in the s a m e way as human and a n i m a l muscles do. The e x p o rimental machine, which depends on the contraction of synthetic p o l y m e r s closely comparable to muscle, .sheds new light on muscle action in the human body. It also suggests possibilities for future larger adaptations.

perhaps also their long black robes, and act to involve laymen in leading Sabbath services. The proposal was made by Rabbi Jules Harlow, director of publications of the Rabbinical Assembly of America, at a midwinter Kallah (convention) of the rabbinical group's Metropolitan Council. lie asserted that "the problem of petrified p r a y e r plagues many Sabbath services." He suggested that the most important step to correct this would be to "destroy the exclusive franchise on prayer which is held by the rabbi too often in the minds of laymen." He asserted also that most of the £ n g I i s h in prayerbooks could be described as "a hypnotic 'prayerese' which removes the entire enterprise of prayer from the lives of our congregants." He also argued that services "should reflect what we feel passionately in unmistakable fashion." He pointed out that tilt Sabbath service contains a prayer on behalf of the leaders of the acient Babylonian Jewish community and asked' "Wliv not for Soviet Jews?"

NEW YORK (JTA)—Major organizations in this country mourned the death of Dr. Konrad Adenauer, former chancellor of West Germany known as the most articulate advocate of German-Jewish reconciliation and who taught that the German people must not forger what their country did to the Jews under the Nazi regime. Dr. Adenauer, who died at the age of 91, was also the person who was determined to bring about the payment of reparations to Israel and to Nazi victims. Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany issued a statement also in his capacity as president of the World Congress and'president of the Jewish Agency for Israel, declaring: "In Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, the Jewish Similar statements were issued by the Amerpeople and Israel have lost one of their great ican Jewish Committee, American Jewish Confriends.

By M\ XEH, BLOCK, USV Editor's note: This is the first prize winner in the worldwide JWB Golden Jubilee essay contest conducted by the NYttionar Jewish Welfare Board among officers, enlisted men and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces on the theme "How My Experience in the Armed Forces Has Influenced Me As a Jew." Lt. Block, who lives in Brooklyn, N. -Y., is on duty with the U.S. Navy at Yokohama, Japan. He has been in the Navy for nine years. * * * Having entered the Navy directly from the intensely "Jewish" community of Brownsville in Brooklyn, N. Y., I was absolutely certain that I was every inch a 100'; red blooded Jew. After all, I had grown up in a neighborhood where there were only Jews—or so it seemed. In fact, until my late pre-teens I wasn't absolutely sure there ivas anything else. Then again didn't I go to cheder to study for my Bar Mitzvah? And I could even read and write a little Hebrew. Besides, there was hardly a weekend at home when we missed having bagels and lox, or a bialy and baked salmon, or some schmaltz herring. To round out the proof of my status as a Jew was the indisputable fact that I could even understand a little Yiddish, allowing me to have introspective understanding of all the asides and ethnic Witticisms engaged in by the big time TV nnd night club entertainers. Armed with this subconscious strength of solid identity, based mainly on culture by association and circumstance, partly on gastronomies and minimally on substantive bases, it came as a rather curious revelation to me to find myself thrust into a society where I represented a generally obscure minority, with whom my contemporaries, for the most part, had no prior real life contact or experience. And I was expected to be the pillar of wisdom and knowledge in all tilings Jewish. Curiosity I was subjected to many questions and even to some curiosity. The questions ranged from the typically inane, which somehow have survived hundreds of years, notwithstanding continually -expanding education, to serious ones, from interested people, on subjects from culture and dietetics to principles and practices. (The greatest "curiosity" turned out to be my mezuzah which, et first, my friends wrre convinced was a very ornate personal whistle which hung around my r.ecW. Some of my questioners, much to my dis-

Living under' such conditions often tends lo disrupt family life and deprives the elderly of both privacy and pride, he added. The Israel Cerontological Society, which is supported by JDC-Malben, has warned Iho Ministry of Housing that the problem was acute and may become critical in the near future. The .Society recommended that future housing projects .should provide special units for the aged—ground floor apartments, \vHhi!! walking distance of a synagogue, and with cultural and social facilities to serve the elderlv tenants.
go back to the villages in Israel . . . from which they had been d r i v e n in 1'JIJI." Sen. Clark urged, among other recommendations, that the United States "utilize diplomatic pressure on Israel to repatriate a substantial number of refugees who might be persuaded to return to their own villages inside Israel." When he later briefly visited Israel, Sen. Clark found "there is no real economic need for more (Jewish) immigrants." He asserted that "as of last fall almost the entire class of spring graduates from the engineering school of the technical university was unemployed. Unemployment is becoming chronic and, persistent..." Halpcrn Comments Rep. Seymour Halpern, New York Republican, analyzed the Clark r e p o r t . He commented that "With all due respect to the distinguished S e n a t o r , a serious problem requires serious study of all f a c t o r s involved. The Arab-Israel situation is too complex to benefit from s w e e p i n g conclusions based on a one-day stand." Rep. Halpern said that "One of the criticisms that Sen. Clark makes of Israel is that Israel has a drastic new problem of unemployment. Yet, he apparently wants to solve this by forcing back into Israel, at a time of unemployment, thousands of hostile Arabs. What would they do in Israel? Start a Viet Cong-style revolution? Would the Senator turn Israel into a n o t h e r Viet Nam? It seems to me that we already have enough problems with peoples who differ so violently in Viet Nam." A Day In Kgypt It was pointed out by Hep. Halpern that he recently found himself spending a half-day in Cairo while changing planes en route to Ethiopia. "Perhaps I should issue half a report on the military, political, economic and sociological situation in Egypt. But this would be absurd. I only interviewed one taxi driver, one camel driver, and a waiter at the Nile Hilton. Of course, an Egyptian diplomat and representatives of the U. S. Embassy, through protocol courtesies to a visiting Cong r e s s m n n , welcomed me to Egypt.": "I even got to see the moonlight on the Nile. But I felt in no position lo report back to Congress on dramatic findings that could change the course of history," said Rep. Halpern. ,
"I could only report," said the New York Congressman, "that the diplomats were polite, the Nile looked like a big river, and a camel driver, although he knew I was Jewish, cheerfully accepted n tip." A Day in Israel Sen. Clark's report on Jordan included four p a g e s of fina print based on one day of research into the politics, sociology, and economics underlying current problems. Sen. Clark conceded: "It would be presumptions indeed for a singlo Senator, on the basis of ono day's visit, to suggest the answers. Yet, presumptions or not, it might be suggested that tho United States policy" move in new directions including "diplomatic pressure on Israel" to force return of Arab refugees. 'Comic Papers' State Department s o u r c e s commented that previous reports to various Congressional committees by traveling members of Congress amused the Department. Such reports are known to some diplomats as "comic papers" or "waffles-— because they contain a lot of air but little real content," The report offered quick solutions to the most complex issues that have defied solution after study for years by tho United Nations, various commissions, and institutions of !iif'hsr ieiir'iiiy One State Department official said "The typical Senator ar-' rives in the morning and is met* at the airport by the U. S. Embassy staff. He is taken in an official limousine to his hotel by us or by the host government. He then interviews the hotel barber about conditions while getting a shave. He then calls briefly at the Embassy and is later wined and dined by the host government. He leaves tho next morning, stopping on his way to the airport to .buy a souvenir for his wife. But there is not time to find the souvenir and still make the flight. So someone on the Embassy staff is detailed to obtain it after his departure. We mail it to his office." "•'•'••'!. "Then," s a i d the diplomat, "we read in the new spapcrs about the most profound observations, c o n c 1 usionSj and policy recommendations' t h a t the. Senator has offered in a lengthy report on his return to Washington. It is hard to say whether we arc more amused or amazed."
Capitol Spotlight
By Milton Friedman The recent "report" to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hy Sen. Joseph S. Clark, Pennsylvania Democrat, outlining a detaled sol u t i o n of the Arab r e f u g e e p r o b 1 e m', was based on o n l y one day's v i s i t to Jordan, This s i n g l e d a y apparently gave Sen. Clark adequate i n formation to report t h a t the Arabs M. Friedman "wanted only to
comfort, knew more about things Jewish than I.. I felt that to be a rather uneasy situation. My reflexive identity was fortunately strong and so I resolved to take up the gauntlet I imaginatively saw as cast. I determined to be the "duty Jew"—not necessarily the paragon of Jewishness, which was still in my mincl long earlocks and caftans, but rather someone at least a little more knowledgeable about his "cause" than I.was. Therefore, I endeavored to educate myself —to add some academic and practical foundation to the gastronomies. I even began to listen attenively to the Jewish chaplain's sermons during our weekly "you-bavono-choicebut'toriltcnd" religious services. (Everybody had "nochoicebut-to-attend" whatever his professed choice was.) The more I read, the more I listened to and discussed with the Jewish chaplain, the more apparent it became that there was certainly much more to being a meaningful Jew than I liad ever conscious!1' realized. The Challenge But having embarked on: the challenge, I attempted to stay with it. The miniscule increase of my knowledge in history, culture, law, Talmud, Torah and the like, revealed that besides academics there was the more important necessity to "act" like a Jew. My surroundings did not lend themselves to my otherwise weak resolve, and I did not forsake pork, let alone unkosher food in genera!, as my Orthodox-associated reflex indicated to be required. But I did enjoy, for instance, supreme personal pleasure of identification in carrying rny JWB-provided box of matzohs to the messhall during Passover. The more I learned about my heritage and the more I began making it a part of my life— a slow process, which my current chaplain may likely not agree has yet even begun-the more real identity I felt I had. It was, and is n tremendously •vilprant, exhilarating experience to realise what a beautiful, proud ana wonderful heritage and mission we have as Jews, and consciously to be part of it all. And so from pole to pole, I've traveled the route of being certain I was a solid Jew. Only now I am a solid Jew from active interest and attempt, from some little knowledge of what I must contribute and practice, and from the realization of how much harder I must work at being more of a Jew. I owe all this enlightenment and discovery to the single fact that in the Navy I was no longer insulated from myself, and to be true to myself I had to find out what it meant to really be a Jew,

The Problem The problem in a nutshell is how to induce or encourage or compel doctors to serve on the farm or frontier, or anywhere in Israel where they are needed. It should be borne in mind that the majority of Israel's 'doctors nre employed by the labor Federation Health Fund, by '.he Government or by. similar public agencies.

offered the platform of a college, with the concomitant prestige and influence, to distort truth, to spit forth the venom of vicious hate? In short, why should one who is infinintely remote from scholarship and the objective pursuit of knowledge, who is actually an adept in the vulgarities and brutalities of an abysmally immoral brand of propaganda, be coaxed and urged by students to give vent to his hostility in the academic atmosphere'of a college? Explanations There must be some explanations, but whatever they are, they are bound to leave the genuine humanist with an intense ache in the heart. If there is a magnet drawing Rockwell to the campus, it is not an authentic desire on the part of students to get closer to the truth, to hear at first-hand a clear and consistent exposition of an unpopular viewpoint; it is just plain, ugly sensationalism, or a foolish and dangerous notion of what constitutes freedom of speech, or a sad misconception of what it is to "defy" the administration or perhaps the older generation, or a contempt for the "values of the mind." But, above all, it is due to a lack of imagination and hence of sympathy. How can students, sitting comfortably with note-books
and pencils, in a place of learning, listen to one proposing a program for the monstrous extermination of millions of their fellow-citizens, in imitation of Hitler and his partners in murder? How can they — and at times their parents too—forget what happened only a brief generation ago? How can they remain insensitive to the hundreds of thousands in their midst with memories that cannot be erased —the memories of their own agony in Auschwitz or Maidanek or the other hells (that a Rockwell would re-establish)? How can they be callous to the anguished emotions of millions and millions whose dear ones —men, women and childrenhad already met the dark and bitter fate that this would-be Hitler is prescribing and describing for the next generation? Let.none reply that this will never be, that Rockwell is just a rabble-rouser. That this will not be is our hope and our resolve; and our faith in democratic America is firm and profound. But the case against students and colleges who of theiv own accord offer Rockwell large and distinguished audiences is not thereby impaired or invalidated, and it fills the heart with grief and dismay.

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel's Cabinet has rejected a proposal that physicians p e r f o r m i n g abortions be prosecuted. The proposal had been made by a special demographic committee studying Israel's low birth rate. The members of the Cabinet divided on the issue proposed by the demographic committee. It was pointed out that, while both traditional Jewish law and the laws of the country prohibit abortions, physicians in Israel in fact perform such procedures openly and arc prosecuted only in cases of negligence.

How Much Supervision Is Provided and by Whom? Our primary and all important objective is the health and safety of each and every child. Campers are supervised by mature and competent counselors. Supervision starts at the pickup point at which time campers are seated safely and comfortably on the bus. While on the bus songs are sung, word games are played and most important your child is carefully supervised. The staff is hand-picked from many applications. Our staff is composed of elementary school teachers, college students and top senior high school students, Before camp begins all staff members attend special training sessions, lectures and skills courses. What Is a Typical Day Like at Kiddy Kamp? Once at the campsite campers are divided according to age and sex and are placed into small groups with a counselor in charge of that group for the entire morning. The counselor, and his group then go lo each activity where there is an activity specialist. Specialists instruct the campers in such activities as; Indian and Nature Lore,. Arts and Crafts, rjuiet and active games, dramatics, music and singing. Wouldn't Kiddy Kamp be a nice place to send your youngster this .summer? z =
