Walthain, Mass.—A group of more than 70 Brandeis University students are preparing to leave for Israel to help in harvesting the nation's food crop in place of army volunteers called to the front. Another 100 Brandeis students are expected to apply, In addition, some 50 students enrolled in Brandeis' Jacob Hiatt Institute in Israel, a semester program of studies in Israeli political science and sociology, have asked to go to Israel early to help in the harvest. The students, who represent 2fi other universities besides Brandeis, were scheduled to begin classes in Israel on July (>.
New York (JTA)—The first poll of American public opinion since the start of the third ArabIsrael war on June 5 indicated that about half of all Americans registered substantial sympathy and support for Israel. Almost no Americans expressed sympathy for the Arabs and about half of all Americans reported they did not have strong feelings on either side of the conflict. The Harris Poll survey, conducted soon after the fighting started showed that suspicion about the aggressive intentions of the Arab countries was high among those reporting strong feelings on the conflict. By a 12 to 1 ratio, such respondents agreed with the statement that the Arab countries "have wanted to attack Israel for a long time."
Suspicions about Israeli intentions were correspondingly low. The respondents by a three to one ratio r e j e c t e d Arab charges that Israel wanted to start the fighting. The American public was shown to believe by about two to one that the Soviet encouraged the start of the -war as a way to divert attention from the United States effort in Viet Nam. Most Americans endorsed the United States effort to bring a halt to the fighting through the United Nations, but doubts about the effectiveness of the U.N. in the Middle East crisis outweighed confidence in the U.N. by a two to one margin.

fact that the first ship to pass through the reopened Tiran Strait was a Soviet ship bound for Akaba, the Jordanian port of the Akaba Gulf. Jordan accepted the Security Council ceasefire appeal on the third day of the fighting, with Kfng Hussein telling his people that the Jordanian Arab Legion had fought bravely but that it had been overwhelmed by superior Israeli forces under "an umbrella of Israeli planes." Despite the acceptance of the cease fire by the Nasser regime in Egypt, and by Syria, fighting continued on the Sinai Peninsula, where the remnants of six crippled E g y p t i a n divisions were trapped by Israeli units and were making desperate attempts to break through to a retreat across the Suez Canal in the hope of taking up defensive positions between the Canal and the Nile River. Syria, which had made a few half-iicarled land thrusts into

northern Israel, and suffered bloody repulses, continued to shell Israeli border settlements and Israeli forces were sent into land and air action to take the strategic heights from which the Syrians have been able to pound Israeli border areas.

By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX QUESTION: Why is it required that a minimum of three people fclaml near the Torah at tin- altar when it is toeing read? ANSWKK: In handing over the tradition ;md the Torah to (he people of Israel through Moses, the Almighty is reported as saying "I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you this day . .. "(Deuteronomy 4:20). It thus became a matter of having the words of the Torah pronounced while two witnesses stand by. Similarly, at the public reading of the Torah in the synagogue, which many consider a facsimile ol its original presentation to the people of Israel, the Torah is read by the reader and two people stand there with him (one on either side of tJje altar) as if to hear witness. This gives us our minimum of the three who must stand near the Tonih while it is being read. * * * QUESTION: Why does the reader use a silver pointer to guide him us lie reads the Torah? ANSWKK: The silver pointer has two functions. While it hangs on one of the spindles outside the Torah cover as it is standing in the ark or being carried, it is an adornment of the Torah and it is traditional to adorn our holy objects as a means of honoring them. Holding it in hand while reading the Torah is a means of preventing one from actually touching the bare parchment with one's own hand, an act which "is strictly. prohibited (Talmud Bavli, Megillah 32a; Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayyim H7:l). The use of the silver pointer thus allows the reader to keep his place and helps the one who is called to the Torah to follow the reader during the reading of his particular portion.

By SAt'I. CAltSON United Nations. N, Y. The big question being asked here, regarding the Middle E.i*t crisis, is: Why did U Thant do it' For it is clear that it was the SecretaryGeneral him'ell. by accepting with utmost speed Nasser's ultimatum for the withdrawal of the United Nations Emergency s , Force, who had precipitated £' \ the crisis. From his acce.ptance of Nasser's ultimatum, without recourse to any one of a number of alternatives open to him, flowed all of the other moves by Nasser and his fellow-Arabs. Having won on UNEF, Nasser took the next logical step — the blockading of the Strait of Tiran. Having Saul Carson found Nasser willing to confront the world, the Soviet Union, which was pulling the strings in Cairo right along, was enrouraced to co for broke, challenge the United States" Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean, pound the table here in an all-out attack against both Israel and the U.S.A., harden its position against four-power negotiations even after its best nonCommunist friend in Europe, France, had tried hard to bring about such talks by the Big Four. Cyrus L. Sulzberg, the famous roving correspondent of the New York Times, answered that "why" in these terms: "U Thant used his international prestige with the objectivity of a spurned lover and the dynamism of a noodle." That was beautiful phrasing and accurate analysis, but left much unsaid. Consultation Ignored U Thant's prestige played a very important role. He knew that, under the agreement between the late Dag Hnmmerskjold and the "parties concerned"—which included not only Egypt but also Israel—the Secretary-General was obligated to bring together the UNEF Advisory Committee before he could change UNEF's status. But he overlooked one important element in that obligation. He had been obliged to "consult" the Advisory Committee. (That committee consisted of representatives here of the seven countries that had contributed military personnel to UNEF—Bra/ii, Canada, India, Yugoslavia, Sweden, Denmark and Norway,) Mr.-Thant observed part of that obligation. He called the group together, But, instead of "consulting," he faced the body with Nasser's ultimatum and his own, immediate decision to withdraw UNEF. He relied on his tremendous prestige. He know that, after a fait accompli, not one member of the Advisory Committee would dare oppose him. Such opposition would be tantamount to expressing a vote of no confidence in Mr. Thant. And no one dared go that far. Mr. Thant pleaded that, unless he acceded at once to Nasser's demand for UNEF's withdrawal, the UNEF would have to.become a fighting body, a role for which it was never intended. But, had he allowed the Advisory Committee something more than merely the role of a rubber, stamp to his own decree, the Committee would have taken the issue to the General Assembly; .: ' The Purpose of UNEF ' UNEF was set up originally under an Assembly resolution. Taking the issue to the Assembly was the easiest thing to do—had Thant shown: courage, At that very moment, the Assembly

was holding a special session devoted not only to Ihe freeing of Southwest Africa from domination by the Republic: of South Africa but also— and this is significant—to debate further efforts to clarifly the United Nations system of peacemaking operations, of which UNEF was the prime and proud example.

The e x t r a ordinary sensitivity expressed by one so young is certainly a bright light in a world clouded with so many doubts about its youth. Our thanks to John and his parents who have agreed to share these thoughts with the readers of the Jewish Press. • » * Who are we?. We are individuals; yet we are lost in the endless tide of time. We are cards in the files of the F.B.I., yet we live. If we die, the loss is shared by many, felt by few. If we are famous, we will be known to millions, to everyone but ourselves. We are conformists, all except the " s q u a r e s " who aro kind, charitable people. We can find faults in everyone, but When we look at ourselves, we find none.

Open Letter for Father's Day Dear Dad:
Sunday is Father's Day and God willing, once again we will spend the day together. We will gather as a family in happiness, health and peace as we have done so often through tlie years. How much we have to be grateful for, and how much we take /or granted! But this year Father's Day will be different—at least for me. Having lived through the historical events of recent weeks, I am suddenly and painfully aware that the blessings I take for granted are indeed precious. So if it's okay with you Dad, I was thinking t h a t perhaps we'll do things differently this year. First of all the business of presents. I know how bored you've been over the years with the shirts, pajamas, billfolds, ties etc., and all the other trinkets bought each year which are so inadequate in expressing the meaning of the day. So this year —no presents. I've taken your suggestion and instead of buy-

By MICKEY GKKIXICK I'art If Having reached Kfar Blum in Northern Israel where we were to spend 2 days, we were .suddenly uneasy about our plans. Bob and I conferred quickly and decided that we would spend the night there if we could convince our guide to stay with us no that we would have transportation back to Tel Aviv the next day. We had seen so many public buses converted into military vehicles on our trip north, the possibility of obtaining public transportation back seemed very remote. We spoke to our guide who was resolute in his decision that lie could not stay. A graying man apparently in his mid-forties, Zev, our guide, had been so accommodating to all our requests all day, it was difficult for us to understand why he was so unbending now. Then he told us, "Look—I'd like to stay—but I can't. This may all blow over, but in the meantime, they're calling back men every day. Tonight it may be my turn, and if they want me, I want to be at home so that I can get the call." Zev was not unique. This was the attitude we heard over and over again during the next few days. Israel had problems, but there certainly was no problem with draft card burnings, or AWOL's or any attempts on the part of Israeli citizens to escape any task they were assigned. The 'Trip Back We had no choice—either we
JEWISH KKSPONSIBIUTY Harvey Ferer, chairman of the Israel Emergency Fund, on Monday night said "The posture of Jews all over the world is btraighter' now because of the magnificent victory the Israelis won." Indeed, we are all feeling 10 feet tall! There was a fair size attendance at the fund rasiing meeting at Temple Israel Monday night. A large amount of money Was given by people there and some, unable to attend, sent checks. But. UNFORTUNATELY, there are a number of Jews in Omaha who are keeping thomselves apart from this crisis. I don't see how any Jew can sleep well at night knowing of the great need of the Israelis until they have done their part. 1 hope and pray that all Omaha Jewry'will, give in accordance •with what they are able—and then a little bit more. None of us should bury our heads in the sand at this lime of urgent need of our people. A community-wide meeting has been called for this Sunday at Beth El Synagogue. I urge every Jew in the community to come to that meeting and stand up and be counted. Mrs. Bruce (Kcnee) Greenberfj

had to stay without Zev and no guarantee thai we could gettransportation back, or we had to leave with him. right then. We left, taking another route so that we could see more of the country on the trip back. Zev quickly became a guide again, pointing out all the biblical landmarks and historical highlights. He pointed things out, and we looked. We made no comment, but all of us were aware that the biblical scenery was now playing a new role and in the foreground of all the places we passed were soldiers. More than we had seen on the way up. It was almost as if the mobilization was escalating by the minute. We picked up more soldiers on their way back to their units after brief leaves. There seemed to be a change of attitude in just one day's time. The soldiers now were not speaking of avoiding war, but expressing a confidence that if war had to be, they were ready. It was dark by the time we reached Hstdcru and we stopped briefly at at the modest flat of Zev's niece. This was the first time we bad seen the interior of the many apartment buildings which have become so abundant in Israel in recent years. We were greeted at the door by Zev's niece, a pretty girl, probably in her late 20's, two children, a boy aged 5 and a girl of 9. Zev nnd his niece exchanged a few hurried words in Hebrew and then Zev explained. Her husband had been called back to service on Friday, this was Tuesday and she had no word yet where he was. The strained lines on her face betrayed the smile on her face as she welcomed us into her modest home, sparsely furnished and emaculately clean. We visited briefly and left. I commented to Zev on how difficult it must be for a young woman like her to suddenly be left on her own to care for two children, not even knowing where her husband was. Zev's answer was a shrug of the shoulder as he started the car. We didn't talk much as we continued our trip back to Tel Aviv. It was dark and the sight seeing was over. The silence was broken only by Zev, humming the same song be had been singing all day. Suddenly I became aware of what it was. The song was Exodus. The familiar words sprung to my mind. "This land is mine—God gave this land to me." As Zev left us at our hotel in Tel Aviv and we reflected on the events of the day, there was no doubt in our minds that this land was indeed theirs, and in spite of all odds would remain just that. Thoughts of Home In the quiet of our hotel room, without the courageous faces and attitudes of the Israelis which had engulfed us all day, we suddenly became Americans again, and just a- little frightened about being in a strange country mobilizing for war. For
the first time that day we realized that our families were probably even more frightened in view of the recent news events of the closing of the straits of Tiran and with the U.S. State Department urging all tourists to leave the middleeast. Accustomed as we were to solving such problems by placing a long-distance call we picked up the phone with the thought that in a matter of moments we would put everyone at ease by letting them know we were okay. How surprised we were to learn that the emergency had tied up the sparse telephone lines and that the earliest we could expect to get a call through to the United States was 2ii hours from then. We placed our order for the call and then hurried to the post office to send'a cable home assuring everyone that everything in Israel was fine. . We didn't even voice to each other the doubts each of us had about the truth of that cable. * * * Early the next day we reported to the American Embassy who "strongly advised that we leave for home—immediately." We had no information as to whether or not the convention of the American Jewish Press Association which was to start the next evening had been cancelled. We assured the Embassy we would keep them advised of our plans and once again we found ourselves on the streets of bustling Tel Aviv. We found our way to the Government Press Information Office in the hope that there we would be able to get some information about our convention. They had no information for us, and unsuspectingly we were thrown into the arena of some 100 foreign correspondents who had been sent to Israel to cover the current crisis. We filled out the required forms, showed our eredentials and were quickly given identifying Press cards which would enable us to attend the news briefings and field trips along with the other correspondents. We visited with some of the newsmen who were lingering in the building "waiting for something to happen." I wish now we had photographed the expressions on the faces of some of these international reporters when we told them we represented the Jewish Press in Omaha, Nebraska. The New York Times was familiar to them—but the Omaha Jewish Press had never been talked about before in international news circles. We were now part of the big time news people, none of whom could even imagine at that point how big the news was going to be. So it was that we became "foreign correspondents" walking the streets of Tel Aviv on Wednesday, May 24, picking up human interest stories which will have to wait for part HI of this diary next week.
ing a gift for you, I've sent a check to the Israel Emergency Fund to help those'who will find their family life far less happy that ours will be Sunday. The other change in routine will be. in how we spend the day on Sunday. We'll be together in the afternoon, as usual, have dinner together, as usual, but on Sunday evening instead of spending the time in front of the television set as we usually do I thought we would go, as a family," to the community-wide meeting in 'Tribute to Israel which is being held at Beth Israel. The figures are far from final, but at this point at least 700 Israelis have lost their lives in the war that clouded the middleeast last week. Israel emerged the military victors, but I wonder if that really eases the pain in the hearts of the families they left—the children who lost their fathers—the fathers who lost their sons. We'll meet at Beth Israel and offer a prayer for those who have died, and pledge our support to those who live and continue the struggle for Israel's survival. It's true that the words of prayer will not bring back the dead, nor can any amount of money compensate for tlie hardships which have been suffered. But .it's all we can do, and I think we should. That's the way I'd like to spend this Sunday Dad—I hope you agree. You'll be giving up a present and an evening of television, but you'll be surrounded by your children, grandchildren and a precious great-grandchild, T h a n k God you have :been blessed with so Pictured above arc some of (lie large group of foreign correspondents who converged on Ismuch nnd must give up so lit- rael to cover (he story of (he Middle-East crisis.

The second game of the night between the Muskin Mice and the Hifkin Raiders was a close battle all the way. A 17-17 half time score blossomed into a 44-42 triumph for the Muskin Mice. Mike Katzman led the Mice in the first half with three field goals, Dave Rilkin also had three first-half field goals for the Raiders. The second section was a story of Raider miscues. The Mice capitalized on 15 out of 21 charity shots with Bruce Muskin hitting eight. At the same time the winners added only C more double pointers. The Raiders used a wellbalnnccd attack but fell short by a duct of points. Rifkin tallied 12, Alton Ruback popped in 11 and Dave Katz added 10. DASKKTIIALL SCHEDULE June 22
