Rabbi Segal appealed to Attorney General Ramsey Clark to "undertake an intensive investigation of the nature of Arab propaganda and action on tha campuses and to suppress any manisiestations, i l l e g a l i t y , abuse and violence which are being indulged in by these Arab students organizations." He said, "it is absurd to permit thesa students to castigate the American Government..which, is extending to them extraordinary opportunities for study, learning and travel. They are abusing the hospitality and generosity of the American taxpayer who is defraying the costs of their lengthy stay in the United States.'" Rabbi Segal also called upon the State Department "to revoke the scholarships of these 7,000 Arab students who are not adhering to the requirements oE the moral and legal code which is in the grant of financial assistance. The A r a b students are collaborating actively with a variety of subversive elements such as the Communists and tha Black Nationalists in a deliberate effort to damage arid undermine the security of tho United States."

San Francisco UTA) — A call to the American Jewish community not to react to Black extremists by becoming "disengaged" from the Negro struggle for full equality opened the annual plenary session of the National Community Relations Advisory Council. Jordan C. Band cl Cleveland, NCRAC chairman, said in a keynote address that the Jewish community "has a massive stake" in the urban crisis and must not be diverted "because some Negroes are violent, or unyratslul, or antiSemitic." ''Nor are we in it to reword Negroes for their forebearance, respectability, courtesy or amiability, or to win their gratitude," Mr. Band told 250 delegates representing the nine na' tional Jewish organization:; and 81 l o c a l community relations councils that are NHAC's constituents. The Jewish community cannot withdraw from the struggle lhat is "it crisis of confceience" without f o r f e i t i n g "what Jews have gained over many years and without repudiating the very principles of democratic pluralism on which we have rested our claim to equal acceptance," he said.

Chicago Synagogue Damaged by Bomb Skokie, III. UTA) — Police hunted this week for persons who threw a black powder bomb near a synagogue—study building of the Hebrew Theological College here. The blast shattered six large windows but caused no injuries. Police said the bomb had been made from pipes and apparently was thrown at a window but fell short and exploded about five feet outside the Anna 6nrah Katz Synagogue, which also is a study hall. The school's administrator, Rabbi Melvin Goodman, was quoted as saying "I have no idea why anyone would do such a thing. As far us I know, the school has no enemies who would commit such tin act."

It was. unquestionably, considered the most important event, if not of the year, at least of the season. But now, the 27th World Zionist Congress has just ended in Jerusalem. Some of Israel's leading papers did nol even consider it newsworthy enough to print on the front page. Both the obvious apathy and the resigned bitterness displayed by Israelis toward the Zionist Congress—and implicitly to the Zionist movement-had a lot to do with unfulfilled hopes and expectations. There was little done in this Congress to overcome those sentiments. Their fundamental disappointment with the World Zionist organization stems from the absence of any large-scale Immigration from the West. This has always been the situation, but as long as tens and hundreds of thousands of immigrants came frpm lands of physical or national persecution, the absence of Western aliyah was not a major issue. The closing of the gates of Eastern Europe and the drying out of the reservoirs of Jewry in Moslem countries focused attention on the West. More and wore the i d e a was accepted (hat if Israel wanted to build 6oth a modern society and a modern economy, it needed engineers, scientists and other professional people with the required skills and also the experience of living in a Western democratic society, Tlie Zionist Congress talked and talked about the need for immigration, but to many of those listening there appeared to be few new concepts or plans. Nine days of debates and committee meetings did not produce

a new and dramatic program. Youth Reaction There was a minor "revolt' 1 of Zionist student groups attending the Congress. They demanded greater representation, but their efforts, too. ended in coinpromise. The Congress' methods and procedure left many of these youngsters seeking ''action" with a sense of frustration. One of the student participants complained: 'There was no connection between the speeches and the decisions." Another asserted that "Everything was decided anywhere bill in tlie Congress itself." The Congress amended the "Jerusalem Program" to define the role of the Zionist movement more sharply and to stress that aliyah was an integral part of the Zionist program. But nobody really expected that this would change things 'greatly in the diaspora. Dr. Nahum Goldman, the Grand Old Man of the movement, refused to present himself for reelection as president of the World Zionist Organization, but the Congress could not elect his successor. Israelis were aware of the.se developments. But there are no signs that they have asked or are asking themselves whether they have done what they should in the past twenty years to reform or reinvigorate the Zionist movement. It has probably never occurred to most Israelis that their habit of regarding the Zionists (and Jews in general) of the West primarily, as an inexhaustible source of money and of some political influence abroad to be utilized, may be a major cause of the present state of affairs.
fer action pending time to assemble anti Korta.s forces. A simple majority is all that is requested lor the Senate to confirm Mr. Fortas as Chief Justice. Sen, Griffin has rallied HI senators to his cause and expects more to join. lie almost certainly could not obtain a majority but might succeed in blocking action in this chaotic summer of political conventions. The Senator insists that he lias no objection to Mr. Fortas as an individual and has gratuitously p o i n t e d out that he would go along with the re-appointment of Arthur J. Goldberg to the Court if that issue came up. Hut all Washington knows that it is very unlikely that Mr. Goldberg will be renominated. If the Senate stalls on confirmation, the President could slill make an interim appointment. Mr. Forlas would then l>ecome Chief Justice. Rut his KIHIIIS ;IS Associate Justice would he vacated. Should a new President next January fail (o • ('appoint Mr. Forlas as Chief Justice, lie would line! himself off (he Court altogether. The Chief Justice's position is mainly one of great prestige. He possesses no more power than the one vote allocated to each member of the Court. Opponents of Mr. Fortas caniii>t fault his legul co!!?j>''if'iu:'' and intellectual (nullification. So they are attacking him as an "operator." History records that John Mar.;h.'ill, now regarded as one of the great Chief Justices, was similarly attacked as an "operator." Mr. Fort as would be the last to suggest that the obstructionist drive against him was launched because he is a Jew. But some elements supporting his foes are determined to prevent America from having a Jewish Chief Justice.

A front page story in this is;;ue reports the decision of tli<± Omaha Jewish Federation to include in Negro vliildini iii tiie Esther K. Newman Camp program next week, as a pilot project of the Omaha Jewish Community to aid with the problems of the urban crisis. To he sure, l.i Negro children enjoying the facilities of a Jewish camp is not the magical solution to (lie grave problems facing our city. Nevertheless, the a c t i o n of the Federation was an important step forward. At least it seems that way lo me. Many individual Jews in our community have been actively involved in various civil rights cud poverty programs. As individuals, O m a h a Jews have shown their commitment. Through the a c t i o n of the Jewish Federation, h o w e v e r ,
the collective voice of OniutiA .li-ury can now be heard. Av a». organized J e w i s li cotmmimty, as well as individuals, we iir.» expressing our concern and ivlllingni'ss lo help. As responsible citizens, v/<» cannot detach ourselves from the problems of the community. I believe the memlvr.-; of the board of the Omaha Je.wi;!i Federation proved themselves as leaders in the action takenthis week. These are diflicult times, with no simple answer.!. Whether or not tin; Federation effort M.-ill prove effective, remains to be seen; but at least we are involved. The sage w o r d s of KaiiM Tarfoit arc brought to mini!: "It is not lor us to complete dry l.mk. n/'ifliiT are ive free to desist Irom it." It's only 15 .children spending a week at camp — but it's a .start!
