Katzman Issues an for Workers In a letter sent to the men of the community this week, Daniel Katzman, general chairman of the 19G8 Philanthropies Campaign, appealed for campaign workers. . . .. Noting that the smallness of the Omaha Jewish community "gives us the opportunity to know each other," Mr? Katzman said. "In appealing for your help as a campaign worker, I ask that you take up the opportunity to solicit funds from your Jewish friends and associates. In so doing, you will strike a real blow for the continuation of the living Jewish STATE P F ISRAEL and at the same time help with the continuation of our Jewish institutions in Omaha." • A folder explaining the distribution of campaign funds accompanied the letter, along with the invitation for the men to volunteer as campaign workers.

Geneva (JTA) — Tiie 2,500 year-old histury of Hie Jewi.-Ji community in Libya has just about come to an end, Louis D. Horowitz, director general of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee reported here this week. Mr. Horowitz noted that of 35,000 Jews in Libya in 1(148, barely ZOO remain iind most of those are likely to leave soon. He said that the biggest exodus occurred following Israel's war for independence in 1!MII when 30,000 Libyan Jews emigrated to other countries, with JDC assistance, to escape Arab hostility. The mass departure nas repeated on a smaller scale unce last June's Arab-Israeli war. Of H.10O Jews in Libya tlieo, 2T900 took refuge in Italy. Only GOO were self-supporting, Mr. Horowitz said. The rest requested assistance which was provided by the JDC jointly with the Italian Jewish community and the United Ilias Service. At present, the JDC official reported, only 450 Jews remain on the relief roles. About !W0 have left Italy for other countries and the remainder have found the means of livelihood. MLS.

WASHINGTON (JTAi— 'A severe drop in thy number of Jewisli volunteers for cotiuiuinity projects in Negro glietto areas has occurred because of fear of violence, according to a report made at a study conference of ihe National Council of Jewish Women. Summarizing the "consensus of thinking and feelin;;" at workshops held by 300 women from all parts of the country, Mrs, Herman Edlavitch. a member of the Washington subcommittee of the NCJW program, said "the predominant attitude alienating our white middle-clans liberals and in turn our programs is fear—fear of going into distressed areas."
ment of the sponsors that the proposal reflected only humanitarian considerations. He asserted that the proposal "presents a selective and unbalanced version" of Security Council and General Assembly resolutions. The Security Council had addressed its appeal to all Governments in the area. Moteover, there was no justification for picking out "a single alleged right" and casting it in the form in which it appeared in this draft, he said. The draft, he stated, was harmful because it ignored the pence efforts of the SecretaryGeneral and his Special Representative. It was unjust he said, because it failed to take account
of the harassments to which Israel was subjected by continual breaches of the cease-fire. lie said he was keenly a warp of the plight of Arab refugees. The Israel delegation, he said, hoped that, with the establishment of a just peace, the Arab refugee problem and all other problems would receive a just solution. U.S. View Morris B. Abram of the United States said the revised text was an improvement, although his Government did not agree with every point in it. He said he supported the draft, on the understanding that it was designed to cover the same area and people as the original Security Council resolution.
New York (JTA)—The Union of American Hebrew Congregations reported this week that a total of 326 students were attending the three Union Hebrew High S c h o o l s established by American Reform J u d a i s m since 1957. The first Reftfrtn Hebrew high school was opened in Los Angeles in 1957 to meet the needs and interest of children attending R e f o r m elementary schools who wanted advanced education in Hebrew language and literature. The school started with an enrollment of 21 students and now has 155.
The second school, the Union Hebrew High School of Greater Boston, was organized in 19BI by Reform congregations of the area. It has .1! students. The first school in the New York area was set up in 196S with 140 students now attending. The schools are sponsored by the UAHC and local bureaus of Jewish education. The goals of the high schools are to provide comprehension of the grammar and structure of the H e b r e w language, to study in Hebrew selected biblical texts, commentaries and other sources highlighting Jewish ethical and religious teachings, to provide an introduction to modern Hebrew literature, and to deepen the students' understanding of Judaism in general and of Reform Judaism's contribution in particular. The New York school offers classes two afternoon's a week while students continue to attend their home schools on Sunday mornings. At the B o s t o n school, c l a s s e s meet twice weekly for 90 minutes per session.
More than a dozen local council units from various cities reported thut they cuii Hi) longer iiiul .Icnisli volunteers to work in N'rjjro areas. One eity had to abandon a day-care program be<MIisc nl ttiis. Another iiud IK lesiKiialioiis brcausr it was serving N'tgro areas where crime rates .i;id risen. Another section reported that Women in Community Service (IVIC'S), an interracial group, was "practically {jointf down the drain" because of lack of volunteers. Mrs. Ed la vi ten said that "while all agree we are walking on thin ice and have no blueprint to loltow, we must refuse to be intimidated and find a way to work with and not for the Negro." She said NCJW women are .seeking help in changing their own altitudes, overcoming prejudices, and in re-evaluating their own work a;> volunteers in Negro neighborhoods. Jewish Stereotype Jews who live in the inner city "are.bound to suffer from Negro anti-Semitism." Dr. Paul Phillips Coolte. president of the District of Columbia Teachers College, told the conference. Dr. Cooke said that as "the visible symbol" of money and power in the ghetto, "the corner merchant is the first one likely to be struck in times of disorder." lie stressed that "the Jewish stereotype has grown out of the experiences o( poor Negroes
with merchants who have highpressured them, who have sold them shoddy goods, and whose interest rates are high." 'f'he educator reported (hat anti-Semitism is alive in (he black ghetto. A questioner asked Dr. Cooke: ''What .should the Jewish merchant do, then—sell out and quit?" Dr. Cooke replied: ''I can tell you what one merchant did in Washington. He moved into an inner city, area where there is a high crime rale. He put up a good store with fair prices. He hiro:l Negroes. People there respect him and they spend their money in his store."
Old Jewish Cemetery Tc'ien for Housing Site
London (JTA)—A 300-year-old Jewish cemetery near Kovno, capital of the Soviet Lithuanian Republic, has been taken over by municipal authorities for use as a housing site, it was learned here. The cemetery is located in the town of Jonava (Yeneve) and contains the graves of a number of famous men. The confiscation of the burial ground was done "in a civilized manner," according to eye-witness accounts. The tombstones were handled with care and moved to a corner of the site until it is decided which of them should be preserved. But Jews in nearby Kovno and in Wilno, the old capital of Lithuania, who have relatives buried in the cemetery had no information of its shut IIYMAN Hl'SS thanks nil his advance and were confronted with relatives and friend*! for the down fait accompli.

By David Schwartz Hainan did a good thing for Jews. As a result oi Hi'in.in, we have the joyful holiday of Purim, with its Pur- "" im spiels, its Adloyada, its "drehers" and above all, lianiantashen. There is one thing wrong however with haman•ashen. There is of course nothing wrong with banian t a s h en in themselves. They D. S have a nice triangular shape and none will dispute that these poppy seeded . cakes are very tasty. What is wrong with haniantashen is their name. Jews say of fin anti-Semite, "Yemnch Sbeino," "May his name be erased," but instead of that, we call these delicious Purim cakes by the name of the man who sought our destruction. During the First World war, many Americans urged that the name of sour kraut be changed to Liberty Cabbage and some suggested that when a person sneezed, we .should not say Gesundheit, which is German, but Liberty. Why can't we call haniantashen Liberty taschen or maybe Esther Taschen or Hadassah taschen after the name of the lady who frustrated his nefarious scheme. Esther's Hebrew name was Hadassah, meaning myrtle and the Hadassah organ-
izntion is named after her, although few seem aware of this. Hadassah was organized by Miss Henrietta Szold on Purim of I!)I2. If Esther had used an army to down Hainan, no doubt we should have monuments erected to her memory, but .she did it peacefully. The dinner is mightier than the sword, she said. • She invited the King and Hainan to dinner and what happened alter that, is familiar history. But most people do 'not know that the Book of Esther played a part in the adoption of the American constitution, U.S. Constitution After the Philadelphia convention had formulated the articles of the Constitution, they were submitted to •the various states for ratification and there was very vigorous opposition. In Mussachu.scttcs. one.of the delegates to the state convention, a preacher, said he would not support ratili cation, because the constitution had no mention of God. Another delegate retorted that by the same argument, one should not accept one of the books of the Bible. "If you can show me a book of the Bible which does not mention God." said the preacher, "then I will vote for the Constitution." So the Book of Esther was brought in and the preacher had to keep his promise and vote for ratification. If the Book of Esther does not mention the name of God, it is veiy revealing of man. What could be more revealing than this story of the susceptibility of the hitman spirit to prejudice and the ills to which this inevitably leads.
A biL.il-through in the wavering .stniggh; to mobilize the U.S. Government into action to alleviate the plight of Soviet Jewry Tuny come from a dramatic new m o v o in C in) g r e s s pio posed by House \\ Republican leader G e r a l d H Ford, Hep. Ford possesses great in fluence in the Republican Party and is expected to serve as Chairman of the M Friedman Republican Nattional i pl C Convention in Miami this .summer. He has (barged that tilings could have been done by the United Stales to lielji the Jews of Russia hut "no such policy exists in the Johnson Administration." The Republican leader announced that "when the next measure comes before Congress involving East-West trade or a similar appropriate bill'' he would offer an amendment, preferably with In-partisan support, to specify that the Kremlin must '"display concern for American opinion in Soviet policies affecting the Jews." He pointed out that "Federal laws now require that all business concerns trading with the Government treat employees on a non-discriminatory basis." A similar demand, he said, should be made of the USSR. Anti-Jewish policies might be ameliorated if "the Kremlin comes to realize that such bins is simply bad business in terms of world trade and commerce." U.S. Power Recalling that P r e s i d e n t s Grant and Tali used Government influence to aid oppressed Jews abroad, Ford noted that "our Government has expressed itself on the racial policies of the Union of South Africa and Rhodesia." He charged that President Johnson did nothing in his dealings with Soviet lenders to help Russian Jews. Ford said he did not understand "why more cannot be done in Washington to let the rulers of the Soviet Union know that the Government of the United States cares about what happens to the Russians of Jewish faith." He noted that "some say that it is all too easy for an opposition political party to oppose policies of the Administra-
lion." In this instance, however, he wanted "to propose a policy to help Russian Jews" 1because "no .such policy exists.' Opposing View Administration sources have responded that intervention in the '•internal affairs'' of the USSR to help the Jews was undesirable. They said such a move might be embarrassing to U.S. diplomacy because it would indicate to the Arabs that Washington had some special concern for foreign Jewish communities. Also, State Department- officials said, it might "generate. anti-Semitism in Moscow"' while giving the Kremlin "ideas about protesting the treatment of Negroes in the United States." Ford said that regardless of Administration opposition he thought his measure would pass. If not. he was "confident that a Republican Congress would enact such an amendment." He added that "I have yet to hear our President publicly voice gratification that Israel, a free nation, lias defeated aggression." Ford said "pressures against the Jewish people (in Russia) have been intensified following
the defeat by Israel of the Russian-backed Arab aggression. When the USSR severed diplomatic relations with Israel last June, all exit visas for Jews were abruptly cancelled" Ha warned that "systematic cultural genocide may finally liquidate the once-flourishing Russian Jewish community." Vietnam Parallel According to Ford, his amendment "would keep the faith with the six million Jews who died during World War II. We grieve that some of those brutal murders could have been averted by more affirmative action by free people of other lands at that time." Ford recalled that the President "said many times that we are in Vietnam to draw a line against Communist aggression." "I cannot understand how we are keeping faith with our brave men in Vietnam, who are holding the line, when we are so mysteriously silent about the end run the Russians are taking through the Middle East and into the Mediterranean," the Republican leader said. Nor could lie understand "why the Johnson Administration finds so many excuses for.failing to aid the oppressed Jews cf Runsin."

By CAM, ALPEKT HAIFA—At a time when sociologists everywhere are seriously concerned by what is called the population explosion, and countries like India are seeking to execute drastic birth control programs— Israel is considering ways and means of increasing its birthrate as much as possible. The reasons are national and political, and have to do with the demographic relationship between Jews and Arabs. A quick review of simple statistics will clarify the situation. Since 11)50 the Jewish birthrate in Israel has dropped steadily from Xi per thousand of population to 22.4 per thousand in 19CC. In the same IB-year period the Israeli Arab birthrate fluctuated somewhat, but rose from 46.3 per thousand to 50.7 in 1905 and 4!) in 19C6. Stated in different terms, the natural increase (births less deaths) is lfi per thousand among Jews and 44 per thousand among Arabs. Mass Jewish immigration more than made Alpert up the difference in the early years. Now immigration has dropped sharply. In 1D65 there were 2!),000 immigrants; in I!)(i6 only 13,500. In the latter year, by way of illustration. Israel's Arabs gave birth to 15,000 babies, or more than the total of Jewish 5 YEARS AGO immigration.

QUESTION: Why is the day bdore Purim rcd-m-d to as (lie "Fast of Esther?" ANSWEK: Jewish tradition calls for a last day to be observed a day before Purim. This fast day is actually not mentioned in either Biblical or Talinudic literature. It was first ordained as sncii in the Gaonic period. The .Sheiltoth (Va Yakhel Wi* explains that this fast day commemorated the assemblies of the Jews which took place on the thirteenth of Adar mentioned in the Book of Esther (!>:2i. 'lhese assemblies were fast days. Some sav that this fast d:iy is called the Fast of Esther because Esther had asked the Jews to fast for three days (Esther 4:1C>, Those three days actually wens dated after the date of Purim (actually they occur during Passover). For this reason some Jewish communities observe threa 'days of fasting some time after Purim to commemorate these thrctj days. The Day before Purim thus is a special fast day instituted by the Gaonic authorities, Some claim that the fast tvus instituted to remind us that we have no ri;;ht to celebrate our deliverance unless we first fast in penance for whatever wrongs were committed to bring about the crisis in the first place.
