Than* Asks Neutral Zones Be Set by UN Posts at Suez UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA) —A proposal that neutral zones be set up around United N a t i o n s observation posts along the Suez Canal to protect UN personnel from Arab and Israeli gunfire was contained in a report on the Suez situation submitted to the 15-member Security Council by Secretary-General U Thant. The proposal for- the zones. was made by Lt. Gen.- Odd Bull, of Norway, chief of the UN cease-fire observers corps in the Mideast. Mr. Thant said in his report that he was "increasingly concerned about rc. cent d e v e l o p m e n t s which threaten the effectiveness" of the observers of the "ceasefire in the Suez Canal sector.". He asserted that the recent" . firing across the waterway by both sides exposed UN persounell to "grave danger" and interfered with their work.

'Jewish Cemetery Desecrated in Poland London (JTA)—Details of a recent desecration of a Jewish * cemetery itr Cracow, which Polish authorities sought to suppress, were disclosed by the eyewitnesses here this week. —Thejr~ said — the cemetery, .which is currently used by the Jewish community, was not only desecrated but virtually destroyed. Some 200 gravestones were overturned and - smashed and a monument to "Jewish martyrs was severely damaged. According to the eyewitnesses, the destruction was caused by an organized band ~vt about 200 vandals who descended on the burial ground at night. -When authorities were notficd, they placed a Jieavy guard around the cemetery to prevent passersby fronr vlewing the damage. The story was kept out of the Polish press sad oft radio and television;

said, however, t h a t Israel might agree to remove its gun positions from the vicinity of UN observation posts although the Secretary-General's report made it clear that there were no Israeli guns closer than several score yards from any UN post while the Egyptians positioned their guns only a yard or two away from UN posts on their side of the canal.

Hussein's Peace Talk'All Mouth1 Jerusalem (JTA) — Foreign Minister Abba Eban said this week that King Hussein of Jordan has admitted that his talk of peace during his official visit to Washington earlier this month was a matter of tactics and that he was actually preparing for a new military campaign against Israel. Mr. Euan, addressing newsmen at a Foreign Ministry briefing, referred to a speech by the Jordanian monarch in Amman the day before which he said was a far cry from his peace program announced in Washington,. : In an address to his people, King Hussein said the Arab states would end their belligerency against Israel only if arid when the'"Israelis handed over all the occupied territory, including Jerusalem. "Either this or there can be no peace," King Hussein said, adding that he and President Gamel Abdel Nasser of Egypt supported the goals of Arab guerrilla warfare against Israel and considered it perfectly legal.

Jerusalerri~TJTAJ?-PrenueP Golda Meir vehemently rejected any Middle East settlement that falls short of Israel's demands for a directly negotiated peace treaty with the Arab states. She scored the "maneuvers" of outside p a r t i e s which, she said, put forth all sorts of schemes but did not demand of the Arab rulers "that they make peace with Israel peace pure and simple . . . such as exists between most nations of the world." Mrs. Meir addressed the opening of the summer session of the sixth Knesset, its last before the general elections next fall. Her speech, in which she listed in some detail what Israel thinks a peace treaty with the Arabs must include, had prior approval of the Cabinet and represented a statement of policy of the coalition Government. Mrs. Meir dismissed as "dust In the eyes of the world" the professions of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser that he accepted the Security Coun-. cil's November, 1967 resolution as a basis for Middle East peace and the peace proposals enunciated by King Hussein of Jordan during his.vlsit to Washington last month. She warned the Jordanian ruler to halt Arab guerrilla raids across the border or face reprisal. She told Egypt that Israel would continue to fortify the ceasefire lines on the Suez Canal be-

eausetlrey-are-Israel's-''best guarantees." Mrs. Meir said proposals were now being made that were unacceptable to Israel because they did not satisfy its demand for a full and genuine peace treaty. "It is' possible that in our struggle for peace we shall face our most severe political test," she said, "but we shall not give our consent to illusory and ephemeral solutions." She spelled out Israel's interpretation of peace. "Peace must be expressed in signed peace treaties between Israel and each of the

-neighboring "The governments of the region and not external factors are responsible for working out and drafting- peace treaties* The peace treaties must include agreement oh secure and recognized boundaries. They must annul claims of belligerency, blockades, boycotts, in« terference with free navigation and the existence and activity of organizations or groups engaged in preparing or executing sabotage operations from bases and training camps on the territories of states signatory to the peace treaty.

Telephone Co* Declares Anti-Semitic Message Legal Chicago (JTA) — An attorney for the Illinois Bell Telephone Co., has claimed that an anti-Semitic, anti-Negro message that can be dialed on local phones is perfectly legal and that the phone company was not obligated to remove it. The attorney, John Heinrich, was approached on the subject by Bob Gale, a staff member of The. Sentinel, an EnglishJewish weekly published here. The paper had received numerous calls protesting the message which advocates t h e user of force and violence to solve the "Jewish and Negro problems."

The message purports . to come from the American National Socialist White Peoples Party, of Arlington, Va., a successor to the defunct American Nazi Party of the late George Lincoln Rockwell. According to Mr. Helnrlch, the telephone company is not legally responsible for the contents of the message because) the name and address of its sponsor is given. He suggested that any action taken would have to be against the sponsors. He also- stated that "tha telephone company does not want to set itself up as a censor," Mr. Gale reported.

United States Teenagers Triumph At International Bible Contest in Jerusalem

AJCongress Opposes Sfafe Funds for Church Colleges New York (JTA)—The Amer-. Jean Jewish C o n g r e s s h a s urged leaders of the New York State Senate and Assembly to reject bills before botlr*:hambers that would authorize state funds for church-affiliated colleges and universities. Tho AJCongress' New York metropolitan council stated that the measure would v i o l a t e the state and Federal Constitutions and the principle of separation of church and state. In "channeling- vast funds o v o r tho years to church-affiliated colleges and sectarian i n s t i t u tions" the state would "deprive public colleges and universities

of desperately needed funds," the AJCongress charged. It noted further that the legislation would eliminate present, requirements that private institutions receiving state aid meet the same educational standards applicable to public colleges and u n i v e r s i t i e s . "Thus, the p r o p o s a l would make it possible for private . and sectarian institutions inferior to existing public colleges to receive state aid whilo~ the state university and the city university struggle along on austerity b u d g e t s," the AJCongress message declared.

Orthodox Rabbi Hits Pornography Ruling New York (JTA)-An Orthodox rabbi has attacked the recent United States. Supreme Court decision that the possession or exhibition of pornographic material in the privacy of one's home is not illegal. The decision has been hailed by many who otherwise oppose the free circulation of pornographic books and films. According to Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht, executive vice president of the National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish E d u c a t i o n , an organization headquartered in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, the high court's ruling opens the way to "a flood of pornography that will make Noah's flood look like an overflowing brook and will soon engulf the United States." Rabbi Hecht believes t h a t "by telling everyone that pornography in the home is permissable, the Supreme Court is not only sanctioning dirty movies and lewd books, it is actually promoting them. The home of the future will consider pornography as commonplace and necessary as a color TV or dishwasher," he said. He urged "action for decency" by school authorities, the clergy and lawmakers.

"The Russians were openly,. boastingly, self-conf 1 d e n 11 y, sweepingly pro-Arab and antiIsrael. The U n i t e d States stressed neutrality, impartiality and, later on, 'even-handedness.'

Israel. "The reason public opinion shifted was that the Issue ceased to be the merit of Israel's position, but became instead, the danger of trouble with Russia. A people weary of the war In Vietnam was willing to overlook and smother its sympathy, for Israel in order to avoid trouble with Russia. "Had our government adopted the same self-confident although less strident tone in as-, scrting positively t h a t Israel could not be expected to yield ground without a peace conference, the America/i people , would have applauded with tie same enthusiasm that they received the news of Israel's victory. \ • • •

Protestant Theologian Trying To Rid Texts of Anti-Semitism New York (JTA)-A Protestant theologian on the staff of the American Jewish Committee's inter-religious affairs department is conducting a nationwide campaign to eliminate anti-Semitic stereotypes from Protestant religious textbooks. Gerald Strober has just concluded a series of discussions with textbook publishers and editors of nine Protestant denominations in which he encouraged them to present Jewish life and culture in an "authentic and positive" manner ,in textbooks and other educational materials used in church schools, the AJCommittee said. Mr. Strober's assignment was aimed at implementing the .findings-of a research project in Protestant Church school curriculas that he conducted in 196748 under the auspices of the . National Conference of Christians and Jews and the AJCommitfee. The p r o j e c t stemmed from a seven year study conducted at Yale Divinity School by Dr. Bernhard 01., son who isolated specific liistorical and religious themes around which prejudice tends .to cluster. Mr. Strober said, "One of the aspects of teaching about Jews and Judaism is to incorporate post-Biblical, rabbinic informa-

way of positive and creative efforts, in life. The contractor understands, the report said, that lie cannot alone carry on such memorializing efforts indefinitely and that he hopes that every community will ultimately create its own permanent memorial program.^While construction of synagogue monuments constitute his main approach, he also envisages other methods, according to the report. Me would like to see studies of the Nazi period in every religious school curriculum, because "if we do not tell our children, they will grow up in ignorance of this terrible period of the history of our people." He has accordingly underwritten the cost of a textbook on the holocaust, now in preparation under auspices of the United Synagogue Commission on Jewish Education.

Czech Jews Cancel Anniversary Plans London (JTA)—Celebrations to mark the 1,000th anniversary of Jewish settlement in Czechoslovakia have been cancelled for the second time in two years, .it was reported here. This time, however, the reported cancellation was said to have been at the initiative of Jewish groups in Prague and no reason for the action was given. The information was received here by the Council of Jews f r o m Czechoslovakia which was preparing its own celebrations to coincide With the scheduled Jewish millenitim celebrations to have taken place in Prague July 9-14. According to the report, the decision was taken at a conference of Czech-Jewish religious groups in Prague on April 20. Originally, the mlllenium was to have been celebrated in the summer of 1963 but the Czech Government withdrew its sponsorship of the event in the aftermath of the June, 1967 Arab-Israeli war. —

Dwindling Enrollments Noted In Sioux City Jewish Schools Sioux City (JTA) — A Jewish educational expert has warned leaders of. the Sioux City Jewish Community that a decline in the community's child population may compel the consolidation of the t h r e e Jewish schools of the community into one school, with provision for separate religious ideologies. That warning was conveyed by Dr. Samuel Dinsky, director of community service of the American Association for Jewish Education, who met with teachers, rabbis and community leaders in a thorough evaluation of the Jewish education program here. Noting that the community does not lack pro-, grams or resources, he cited the existence of a nursery school under Jewish ...Federa:.,. tion auspices, a Hebrew school and two c o n g r e g a t i o n a l schools. He said that the drop in the Jewish child population would seriously affect the Hebrew s c h o o l and congregational schools alike and asserted that the only salvation for'all Jewish community groups would be a consolidation. He said that there were about 220 children enrolled in the Jewish schools and added that the minimum

enrollment for a viable Jewish school system is 200 pupils. • Dr. Dinsky also told the communal leaders that there Was no overall plan to give Jewish education continuity, to relate the various programs, including those for adults, to each other or to make the best use of the available resources and teaching talents. He proposed a coordinating educational committee, powered to review all programs and to set policies for the Federation, the congregations and the local organizations.

Few Children Get Jewish Education New York-(ZINS)—Throughout the non-Communist free world, there are a million and 600 thousand Jewish children of school age, and only 600 thousand of them receive some form of Jewish education — a mere 36 or 37 per cent. One million Jewish children in those countries receive no Jewish education at all. In other words, two-thirds of the young Jewish generation will be completely alienated from their Jewish national heritage and' source.

They point out that every m o v i e ticket is subject to w h a t is practically a 100% tax, perhaps the highest in the world. In most countries the tax ranges b e t w e e n 10-25%. In other words, half of what comes into the box office goes out as tax, last year accounting for some IL.40,000,000 into the pubUc coffers. The tax collectors are therefore just as worried about the fall-off in attendance as, the owners. There is no consolation in the fact that TV is also a source of tax revenue (about IL.34,000,000 this year f r o m , * customs duties and l i c e n s e fees) because this income goes to the national government, whereas the movie tax goes to the local councils for municipal and village needs.At any rate, a c 1 e a n-up, dress-up, spruce-up campaign will soon be u n d e r way at many Israeli movie houses.- _ But the owners are short of capital. They plan to ask the public: W h i c h do you want first, upholstered seats or airconditioning? We can't afford both in one year.

The Jewish Quiz Box QUESTION: Why docs the Jewish tradition forbid one to eat blood? ANSWER: This is an injunction mentioned seven times in tlia Bible. The rabbis offer several reasons as a rationale for this prohibition. . A reason that is given in the Bible .states that blood represents the soul, and that while man was permitted by the Almighty to consume the flesh of an animal, lie was not permitted to consume the soul. Another explanation is that blood is forbidden because blood is more of the essence of the living animal than is his living flesh, Therefore, should man consume blood, he would be infusing himself with base characteristics of an animal; white ~ the ideal of the Jewish faith is to raise the level of humanity above that of the animal. A third reason contends that the prohibition of eating blood was intended to divert the attention of the Hebrews away from the idolatrous practices of the heathen peo« pies who used blood to bring the spirits into the presence of man. (Maimonides.) There are some scholars who have pointed out that the blood of an animal putrifics much quicker than its flesh and that therefore there is a practical hygienic reason for UIB prohibition of eating blood. : QUESTION: Why is it that the meat must be soaked and salted before cooking?. ANSWER: The meat is salted because the salt will draw out the blood. The soaking which is done before salting is done for at least three reasons. One of these reasons contends that the reason for soaking is that the meat will soften and the blood will coma out easier (Rabbi Nissim). A second reason offers the explanation which contends that the soaking is done because the salting will only remove the blood from within the flesh but not that which has dried on the surface. A third reason amplifies the second by claiming that if the surface blood is not removed by washing and soaking, it will be absorbed by the flesh, making it almost impossible to remove it.
