Egypt Not Eager for iSefurn of Prisoners
Biloxi, Miss..(JTA)—Dr. William A. Wexler, president of B'nai B'rith charged here this week that Egypt had refused to allow the International Red Cross to investigate the situation of Egyptian Jews of whom an estimated .'150 to 400 male adults were jailed in Cairo and Alexandria when fighting broke out on June 5. Speaking at the annual convention of B'nai B'rith District 7, Dr. Wexler also charged that more than 50 Syrian-Jews were slain in mob riots following the start of the June war. He said that Syria's 4,000 Jews had been subjected over the past four years to night arrests and other harassments and that their freedom to travel to earn a living had been severely restricted. He charged that similar restrictions had been imposed on the 2,000 Jews still living in Iraq. He told the delegates that B'nai B'rith had appealed to the State Department to investigate and to "do whatever is posBible" to ameliorate the situation of Jews in Arab countries who have suffered widespread injuries and death ami destruction of property in connection with Hie wjr,

The Israelis have given I). Schwartz them a check on the same bank.) China, too, is Mlected. The Israelis captured considerable arms sent by Peking. Vietnam is affected. There is scarcely any question that all international perspectives have not been somewhat upset and altered by this little war. The heathens rage and the United Nations sound eff with the gnashin^s of Arab teeth and the howling of the Siberian bf-ar. No one wonders about it more than Israel. Indeed, many of the religious Jews in Israel proclaim it a miracle, and who should know more about miracles than the people of this land? Ours is an age ol science and failh in miracles is accordingly diminished, but recalling the recent events, one is inclined to dwell on a clever saving of the Zionist leader, Dr. Weizmann, who was tlso a renowned scientist. "A good Jew." said Weizmann, "must believe in miracles, it he is a realist." The miracle of the war seems the greater because of the Arab boasting. Shukairy had already invited his friends to have lunch with him in Tel Aviv. Nasser boasted he would destroy Israel withcut going into details. Syria supplied the necessary details. It would destroy the Jews. One Israeli, soldier tells how the Israeli troops listened to Radio Cairo blasting forth: "Our glorious Arab troops are marching on Tel Aviv. Haifa is .already burning. Israelis are panicking. Where is General Dayan now? He is hiding in a shelter now, the coward. Listen, you Jews, run for your lives.' The Israeli soldiers roared with laughter hearing this. They wire already at Suez. We must conclude with Dr. Weizmann. 1/ we are realists, we cannot exclude the possibility* of miracles. However, it is plain, that « precondition is a little modesty.

Eshkoi's Criticisms Wiii mot Jerusalem UTAi — Government circles have r e j e c t e d widely circulated reports that Gen. Moshe Dayan would resign as Minister of Defense following criticism by Prime Minister Levi Kshkol in a newspaper interview published last week. Mr. Eshkol was q u o t e d as saying that the premiership and the defense portfolio should be held by the sanse person as, but for a brief time it always was prior to Gen. Dayan's assuinp-
tion of the post last May. Mr. Eshkol was also critical of tha fulsome credit being given Gen. Dayan for the conduct of ths six-day war, arguing that Gen, Dayrm's role in the war was mainly limited to boosting morale and that major credit should go to Gen. Itzhak Rabin, the chief of staff.
Government, iinrl Map:ii Party circles said that as long as the present critical situation continued and national unity wan so urgent, the government of national union formed by the broadening of the coalition last May, would be continued.

Employers Get Guidelines on Religious Rights of Workers Washington (JTAt—The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission outlined this week its guidelines concerning employer handling of workers whose religious observances require time off during the regular work week. The commission position was that the employer was "free to establish a regular work week generally applicable to all employes, even though such a schedule may not operate with uniformity in its effect upon the religious observances of all employes." The commission added that the employer may permit absences with or without pay on religious holidays "but m u s t treat all religions with substantial uniformity in this respect. The commission also held that closing a business on one reli: gious holiday "does not, of itself, create an obligation to permit time off from work on another. However, the employer must, to the extent he can do so without serious inconvenience, accommodate to the needs of his employes in connection with such holiday observances." . The report indicated that the commission received few complaints of bias in employment on religious grounds and that the ones it did get involved the question of firing or refusing to hire a person whose religion required him to take time off during the employer's regular work week. Most of these complaints, the commission added, involved Jews or Seventh Day Adventists who observe Sabbath on Saturday. But only 1-1 cases of such religious discrimination

Lefters From Israel
| I
By AHred Wolfmann N Bonn — For the first time since the end of the S e c o n d World War an entirely new attitude in G e r m a n y b r o k e through in respect to Israel. A wave of enthusiasm toward Israel seized nearly the entire - German population. While in the past 22 years only Germans in certain ranks, parts of the German press and of the German youth engaged themselves in fe •rsel's progress, this time the •vast majority of German people s h o w e d more than open sympathy for Israel in its struggle against the Arab countries. Nobody would have believed before than this wave of sympathy would develop on such a large scale.

When these Germans were asked by TV reporters why they had volunteered for Israel, they replied that the Arab threat to exlermin%fe Israel was their main motive for action in favor of Israel.

Hy CAUL ALI'KRT Sinai Desert—One can understand the enraged fury of ihe Russians when he stands here in the desert and surveys the shattered remnants of the mighty war machine which Moscow so generously, so painstakingly and over so long a period of time sent to Cairo. At some spots on tho road there is an almost unbroken line of military equipment as far as the horizon. We drove for almost 400 miles through the Sinai desert, and there is hardly a place where the debris of war is not to be found. Some of this material—un d a m a g e d tanks and trucks, will yet be carried away. The rest will reCarl Alpcrt main as mute witnesses to one of the greatest littering catastrophes of history. "I could think only of Napoleon and his army ileeing from the colds of the Russian winter," a still excited Israel sergeant told us at Ismailia. In Europe the snows quickly covered the wreckage, but here the desert sands are more slow in their merciful task of obliterating the traces. Three billion dollars worth of equipment lies strewn along the desert roads. The scene is fantastic. Words are inadequate to describe the mass holocaust rained down from the skies by Hie Israel air force upon an aggressive juggernaut aimed at the cities and farms of Israel. Unspoken Thoughts Soberly we examine tlie huge instruments of war; the massive military machines, with their exquisite Russian instrumentation. And in the mind of each of us is the unuttcred thought: If tills thrtebilliondollar monster had gotten the jump on us, had been able to grasp the initiative, these tanks would today be rolling through the ttrcets of Tel Aviv and Haifa. And the Egyptian soldiers' would today be swaggering over the ruins,of the state of Israel, instead of lying in shallow, fly-infested graves, over which big.black •
birds of prey, hawks or vultures, swoop in ominous grace. One must ponder these conclusions in order to understand Israel's stubborn foreign policy today. We are not strangers to this desert. Our ancestors once crossed it on foot. These shifting dunes hide the bones of a whole generation of them. Israel has suffered grievous losses in this war, The pain and the grief have hit many homes. But no Israel soldier can rejoice at sight ol the rotting corpses of the thousands of Egyptian soldiers who were panic-stricken victims of the great desert. Their bones will mingle with those of my ancestors. Atrocities of War If there have been any atrocities committed in this war, they are the ones committed by Gamal Abdul Nasser against tens of thousands of his own soldiers whom he sent off to die in the desert. When the Egyptian people finally learn the full truth there may yet be opportunity for new political realities in the Middle East. Israel hales war.

Twice, during our extended desert trip we gaw mirages. The first was a lovely blue lnke, whose shores were lined with trees. When we got there it had disappeared. The sec*ond was a city of apartment houses, perched up on a hilltop. The buildings were white and of various pastel hues, like an Israel city. These mirages were no result of a broken, delirious mind. -All of us in the car saw the same mirage.

There will be births, deaths and marria.jes in our community w h e t h e r the Jewish Press reports them or not: Nationally and inter-nationally there will certainly be much news. These are critical days for Israel and the Jewish people. Some of the news developments will be carried by the regular news media. Much will not. You will be informed ol the f a c t u a l day to day developments. For the most part, however, the regular news media will not carry interpretations of the news as seen by Jewish leaders and as they have particular effect on Jewish life. You will not get the reactions of the Jewish man on the street lo these news events. You won't be too well informed about the activities of the local Jewish community.

Bv K.-MHtl SAMl'rX J. I OX Ql'f-S'I'ION: Why do some people prefer to have a ((tinrum of 10 males (I.e. a Minyan) present during the rirruinrision of a Jewish boy? ANSWF.lt: Basically, the presence of a quorum is not indispensable to the proper performance of a circumcision, Some claim that it is preferred because whenever feasible Ihe performance of a commandment such as this should be publicized and that tin} presence of a Minyan at such a performance makes it a publio performance. One of the reasons for desiring to have a circumcision as a public performance may be the fact that there was a time when Jews were compelled to perform circumcisions in hiding. Doing it publicly now would be a means of expressing our enjoyment of freedom. Also, such a public performance inspires other.! to follow the tradition of circumcision which is one of the most important requirements of the Jewish faith. $» " * % & „

TIIHI deseiibfH the completion of our fii't jr.ir lit the helm of the I'SS Commercial, marked (Greenwich Meridian) the first of this month. And what a year it: was! There was conjecture on how long it. would take us to get our sea leys. There was speculation on navigating her through the choppy waters of competition. And, of course, concern in maintaining esprit de corps nmong the sailors who manned the ours (and presses) to keep her on an even keel. Oilr colors still proudly fly on the mast; none of our creditors have asked us to walk the plank; our compel it ion has been held at bay; and our crew has avoided the brig during this pilot year. But the good ship Commercial had sailed as a tight ship long before we took command. It hud smooth sailing, over the years, under salty cnplnin Bill Russell on the Sea of Ink. Still there was concern. A good deal of "booty" was involved. This type vessel was strange to us. Would the change in command create a mutinous ie«clion In our trade relations? Well, the log proves Commercial i.s seuuoi'ihy. She went out with the tide, splashed through the murky waters of this first leg of our maidon voyage, went right on course and docked with n net increase of nine percent in trade over the previous year. Having successfully launched into the second year of our adventure, we are grateful to you seafarers and landlubbers who have kept Commercial from drifting into mediocrity and alallowed us to heat the "tar" out of competition.
