ures PARIS (JTA) —The Egyptian Government, in a decision.reportedly made by President Nasser personally, has decided to ban the departure" from Egypt of all Jews still in Egypt, thus apparently, holding them as hostages, the American Jewish Committee reported here. About _ a quarter of the remaining estimated 1,000-Jews are still in prison, having been detained since the June, 1967 war,, though' they have been neither charged • nor found, guilty of any offense, the report said. . • The report said that the decision applied to Jews holding Egyptian citizenship,.' to Jews nominally stateless and even to Jews holding foreign nationality if that nationality was acquired fitter the Six-Day War.

Lindsay was asked this week by two Jewish organizations against a city anti-poverty official for his assertion that the "Jewish Mafia" had threatened that if the Mayor hoped to become Governor of New York he would have to "kill Ocean-BroWnsville," the experimental school district in Brooklyn. Refusal by the district governing council to accept a number of teachers, touched off an 11-day city-wide teachers strike last month and "threatens another teacher walkout. •The complaints to the Mayor, were made in separate statements by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the Jewish Labor Committee.

Mafia" of the United Federation of Teachers had allegedly made that threat to the Mayor. ' Action Urged The ADL said that the "connotations" of the charge were obvious' and that the charge not only indicated anti-Semitism byMr. Ramsey but also "a calculated attempt to foment Negro anti-Semitism with an allegation -which is false." The ADL noted' that the Maydi* h'ad .appealed for an end to "religious and ra? cial epithets" in the school dispute and added that Mr. Ramsey's conduct "makes questionable his efficacy in the post to which you appointed him. We therefore strongly urge that you take immediate and appropriate action in this most serious matter," The Jewish Labor Committee urged the Mayor ,to make a clear statement of public policy on the "growing' use of racial slurs by officials on the ctiy payroll." Such statements, the JLC asserted, ''-add to the grow*ng tensions between racial and religious „ groups in our community." The JLC demanded an unequivocal response by Mayor Lindsay to "curb such irresponsible and inflammatory actions" and added that "strong measures" must be taken to "halt the spreading hate" as essen* tial to the prevention of further polarization within our city."

Nixon Golf Cluh Resignation Not Die to Biased Policies • NEW YORK (JTAWRichard M. Nixon, the Republican Presidential candidate, has resigned from the Baltusrol Golf Club in' Springfield, N. J., which has been: accused of barring Jews and Negroes from membership, it was revealed this week. But the reason given by Mr,. Nixon for his action, which occurred " last August, had nothing to do with the club's allegedly discriminatory policies, nor was Baltusrol the only club from .which Mr. Nixon resigned. The candidate's press aide, Paul Costello, disclosed a form

Call for 'Holy War' LONDON (JTAV-The semiofficial Cairo newspaper Al Ahram reported yesterday that religious leaders representing 750 million Moslems-' in 34 countries have called for a "holy war" on Israel to recover the shrines of Islam in East Jerusalem. According to the paper, the call to arms was sounded after the religious leaders heard a tape recording of what was purported to be Jews desecrating the El Aqsa mosque in East Jerusalem.

letter written Aug. 8 to clubs in which Mr. Nixon held membership in which the letter said," In view of my nomination by the Republican Party for the Presidency of the United States I believe it appropriate that J. dissociate myself from all organizations and activities not related to the commitment I have accepted for the foregoing nomination." The letter was posted on the Baltusrol bulletin board. Mr. Nixon came under fire for his membership in Baltusrol last July after attending a Republican Party function. there during his campaign for the nomination. He said, in a statement* at the time, "I have not followed a practice of joining clubs b e c a u s e they have restrictions or of leaving clubs be'cause of them." He added, "I attempt to work from within to change those policies, rather than from the outside." Following that statement, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey requested Mr. Nixon to recommend 10 Negroes and 10 Jews for membership in the club. There was no subsequent conv ment by the candidate on that request.

Gallufp Reports Jewish ¥ofe Shifts f© Nixon PRINCETON (JTA)—A "surprisingly high proportion" of Jews have shifted to the support of" Richard M. Nixon for the Presidency in a year that has shattered traditional voting patterns," Dr. George Gallup reported this week on the basis of a recent, poll. Dr. Gallup said that "those of Jewish faith included in the s a m p l e have broken with past precedents." The poll,, r e l e a s e d by the American" Institute of Public Opinion, found that 31-per cent of Jews now favor Mr.' Nixon,

51 per cent support Vice-Presi-' dent Hubert H. Humphrey, four per cent are for George Wallace, while 14 per cent remain undecided. This contrasted with the disproportionately h e a v y Jewish s u p p o r t forpthe Democratic Presidential candidates- in 1960 and 1964. Less than 10 per cent of Jews favored Mr. Nixon over President Kennedy and even fewer were believed to have voted for Sen. Barry Goldwater. The Gallup Poll suggested . that-Mf.

ent rise in the stream qf immigration. The Six-Day War has seemingly advertised I; jrael to the world and the immigrant flow is increasing. She expects some 30,000 immigrants this • year. Some are hopeful that forty . thousand will come,! While all the world fears a population explosion, Israel would Welcome it,-.but it knows that its destiny -is not iti/that type of explosion. " Birth, Race \ " Jews have been, worried They say Israel has shown tha it can fight,.but the Arabs cai raise larger families and thgt must -tell in the end. The other day the Israeli press report) d that Ben-Gurion visited a workingman's home in Israel to congrat-

You've got to work at ieveryhting. The Israeli press carried a littlentenr-about itrThe~American press would have done a better job. There would have been pictures of the family of twenty children and there would be television shots. The mother would endorse detergents and write a book. The family would be showered, with presents. Other mothers in Israel would have been spurred to. show what they could dor Nothing at all was made of it in Israel, which lacks the publicity sense. To survive, Israel does not have to match the Arab population. Small countries can be strong, making up for numerical weakness by more alertness. Bigness sometimes is a handicap rather than an advantage. Yet Israel is a little too small. Immigradpn So.the increase in immigration is heartening. There has recently been a considerable American immigration to Israel. Lately we read of a young New York girl who went to Israel with a group for the summer. She screamed hysterically when she had to board the airplane to return to /New York. -She wished to remain in Israel.

We can recall, years back, a different attitude. Even Zionists in those days would jokingly say that they wouldn't mind living in.Palestine if they could be the Ambassador to America. The present flow may well gain in volume. The' many as-' -sets whidrmake Israel so fine a tourist attraction also make it interesting immigration-wise. It is (lie land.df the Bible. It is an outdoor country. A land where you don't need an overcoat It has the assets of California and Florida and also now of Maine. You cart go skiing on Mi. Hermon. It is close to the great European centers anil at the bridge of Asia and Africa,, U offers the fragrance of the orange blossom season and you can come to life swimming in the; Dead Sea. In Israel.you don't have to go to Cheder to learn Hebrew. You can learn it in the streets and it is the one country where Shalom Aleichem is not only a writer, but a street.
