' Gen. Dayan addressed the con"vehlion of the Israel Labor Party on. security problems. He said that Israel is fighting what amounts to a "small war" on the banks of the Suez Canal in order to avert a big war which would follow % an Egyptian attempt to cross the canal in force under cover of its airforce and artillery.

Israel would pay $100 million of the cost of the plant and the United States would pay $40 million over a period of five years. Rep. William F. Ryan, New York Democrat, charged that despite the commitment of the former Johnson Administration to desalination aid for Israel, the Nixon Administration "had refused to take a position on this project." Rep. Ryan said that "if the Administration will not uphold the United States commitment to Israel, then it is up to Congress to authorize U. S. participation in the desalting facility which Israel so badly needs." Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal, New York, said that more than 95 percent of available water had already been, tapped in Israel.

Haifa (JTA) — An American professor and an Israeli rabbi participated this week In the seventh "American-Israeli Dialogue" sponsored by the American Jewish Congress but their views were so far apart that there was neither debate nor dialogue. Prof. Walter Kaufmann of Princeton University Said11 lie was religious as long as he was persecuted for being Jewish but that when he came to the United States where no one persecuted him, he losti his

LA. Jews, fJegroos Hold Joint Service Los Angeles (JTA) — Two of the oldest congregations in Los Angeles, one Jewish and one Negro, held an interracial, interfaith joint' service at tiie church. Members of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, the city's oldest and largest Reform synagogue, came to the First African Methodist E p i s c o p a l Church, now in its 97th year, for the unique service. Rabbi Edgar F. Magnin of the Reform congregation was -guest—speaker. He_descrlhed_ some events in support of his topic that "history is a great teacher." Rev. H. H a r t f o r d Brookings, the host clergyman and former president of the United Civil R i g h t s Council here, told his black Christian and white Jewish audience that the services were, intended to "bring together people of different e t h n i c and religious b a c k g r o u n d s at a point of equality." He said one objective was the hope that "we cati minimize the emphasis being. placed on a n t i - S e m i t i s m " among Negroes.

Avigdor Levontin of the Hebrew University rejected the view that living in exile was Divine retribution for the "misdeeds of the Jewish people and that the Jews had a "mission" to redeem mankind. Dr. Harold Wefsberg of Brandeis University said he viewed with mistrust the concept of "Jewish identity." He called it a "new myth" and said nationalism was not 'enough and spiritual values could not be tossed aside. Rabbi Arthur Green, leader of the Chavurath Shalom community in Cambridge, Mass., denounced the Jewish religious "establishment" in the U.S. and said rabbis were not spiritual leaders. He said American Jewish youth sought new content for their lives which the present Jewish religious leadership was unable to provide. He also said that Israel must demonstrate to hoped-for immigrants that life in Israel can open the way for all Jews to personal fulfilment and spiritual enrichment.

'Jews Only1 for Maccebiah Games Tel Aviv. (JTA) — The controversy over who is a Jew erupted at the Maccabiah games, Israel's version of the Olympics, after the Belgian team angrily withdrew from further competition because two of its water polo players were disqualified on grounds that their mother was not Jewish. The Maccabiah rules state that competition is open to any Jewish sportsman or sports woman. Rabbinical authorities in Israel insist that to be a Jew a person must have a Jewish mother or undergo conversion rites. Maccabiah sports clubs in many countries, however, admit non-Jews and children of mixed marriages, some of who are competing in the current games. A dispute arose when the Canadian team refused to meet the Belgian team on the grounds that Paul and Mark Rigaumont, • •- members - of • thoMaccabiah Club hi Antwerp are not Jewish. The Rigaumont brothers have a non-Jewish mother. Their father, who died recently, was a member of the Belgian water polo teams in the fourth, fifth and sisth Maccabiah games. The Canadian complaint was referred to the M b i ggh i i tee which decided against the Rigaumonts after which the entire Belgian contingent withdrew. ' Why the Yellow Pages? fry tho

Efforts N Rafi-Mapai Puffy Split Jerusalem (JTA) — Leaders of the three parties which merged to form Israel's dominant Labor Party ended this week lengthy talks aimed at resolving the threat of a spot with one key issue still unresolved. The major problem was the dissatisfaction of members of the former Itafi faction, led by Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. Efforts have becnunder way for several weeks by former Mapai leaders headed by Premier Gold Meir, to meet the demands of the Rafi faction. Rafi leaders have claimed that they are not trusted by the Labor Party leadership, are never consulted"on major problems and are never given sig-

nificant positions in the party. At the close of the "forum for clarification," in which former Achdut Avodah members also participated, Mrs. Meir announced that the Rafi demand for the right to nominate • candidates for the Oct 28 elections for the seventh Knesset would be met. Participants agreed to form, a smaller committee to discuss and settle the details of the problems. But Gen. Dayan said ' he could not, because' of the current security situation, take part in the work of the .smaller committee. Mapai leaders reportedly said that if Gen.

The Arabs have- learned the technique of reaching various elements in this country with their material, and they do it through a net of official and unofficial propaganda agencies. Gone are the days when Arab information methods were inept. Four Arab governments— the United Arab Republic, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Lebanonretain professional public relations counsel in this country. And there are also American groups seeking to create sym"-patby for the Arab cause. Arab propaganda is now being directed not only from New York and Washington, but also from regional offices in Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and other cities. Arab propagandists' -and apologists are reaching churches, universities, radio and television stations, members of Congress, extremist Negro groups, the radical right, and far left. They are. also penetrating leading American newspapers by writing letters to the editor and by inserting paid advertisements. Arab Information 'Center ~ The major official agency for Arab propaganda in this country is the Arab Information Center, sponsored, by the Arab League which receives millions of dollars from the 14 Arab nations it represents. It publishes a bi-monthly news sheet "Arab News and Views" and a monthly magazine "Arab World." The circulations of both publications are reported to the Justice Department as being 13,000 and 18,000 respectively. They are being sent primarily to libraries, public figures, church leaders, Members of Congress,

professors and editors of newspapers. The Arab Information Center, headquartered in New York solicits speaking engagements on' radio and television, as well as before service clubs, student groups and church organizations. It also publishes a great variety of pamphlets for. free distribution. Another bold and most prolific Arab propaganda agency in this country is the Action Committee on American-Arab Relations. The agency operates from New York is is being directed by Mohammed I. Mehdi, an Iraqui who applied for U.S. citizenship. T h i s Committee clajms 20,000 members, but it is actually a one-man operation backed by about 200' wealthy men. Mehdi lectures before church groups; appears frequently as •an "Arab expert" on local and national radio and television programs, and organizes provocative pro-Arab demonstrations. Fund-Raising In U.S. The Palestine Liberation Organization office in New York —the American branch of the Arab group which maintains the anti-Israel terrorists has been active in the United States almost since the Palestine Liberation O r g a n i z a t i o n was formed at*ah Arab meeting in 1964. Its operations 'in this country are financed by the Arab League to Die tune of $1 million a year. The American Office of the Palestine Liberation Organization has"hdw become a fundraising arm for Arab terrorists. Its director, Saadat Hassan, a Christian and a graduate of the Illinois Institute of Technology,. is "reported to be touring the U.S., speaking to American-

It 8:15 p.m. contended that the people would study the Torah in tho wilderness when they had nothing to do but that when they would be settled citizens and engaged in the pursuit of their business and profession, they would nave no time to study the Torah. The Almighty answered that one day a week would be set aside when business and trade would be curtailed and restricted, allowing the people' this day for the study of Torah.

Poverty Program Los Angeles (JTA)—Twenty Jewish teenagers, who have just completed a six-week effort to help anti-poverty pro« grams in the black, ghettos of Los Angeles as members of the third Los Angeles Eisendrath Mitzvah Corps, have learned that they c a n n o t "change the world" but that "they are still challenged to plan for the betterment of their own communities," a Reform official said. The young workers were selected from recommendations made by their rabbis.. The Mitzvah Corps is a project of the National Federation of Temple Youth. During their stay here, the corpsmen lived In a fraternity house at the University of Southern California. They spent their days at anti-poverty project offices and attended evening lectures and discussion sessions. Lennard Thai, a rabbinical student at the Hebrew Union College, said the aim of the Mitzvah Corps was to give volunteers insight from their ghetto involvement. He said the teenagers had learned what could and could not be done and that it was hoped they would take those insights "back to their homes and congregations, to influence the adults who hold the potential for affecting change."

Cantor Samuel Rosenbaum president and is currently tho executive vice-president of tho Cantor's Assembly of America. He has composed several musical works, some of which havo .'teen presented on national television. The Jewish community is cordially invited to attend the program.

THE JEWISH JPKESS

Jewish Prison Inmates 'Usually Well Educated' Terra Haute—Most Jewish inmates in penal institutions have college degrees and are well read, according to Rabbi Bernard M. Cohen who serves the federal penitentiary here. Rabbi Cohen, whose own congregation is T e r r e Haute's United Hebrew Congregation, said there are a small number of Jewish inmates who represent a considerable amount of financial wealth. His v i e w s were expressed in an article in the bulletin of the C h i c a g o . Board of Rabbis. "THE ANTI-SOCIAL behavior pattern of -the Jew in prison lias no relationship to his educational accomplishments," the rabbi said. • He found most Jewish in^nates are there for "white collar crimes" involving f r a u d and other areas of manipulation, usually on paper.

Vandals' Sixth Attack Hits N.Y. Synagogue New York (JTA)—A Young Israel synagogue in Q u e e n s was the target ^f a rock-throwing attack which smashed 19 plate glass windows in what an official said this week was the sixth attack on the building in the past few months. Police promised an around the clock guard. A spokesman for Young Israel of the Rock-aways Temple said such protection was promised after the incident was discovered. Norman S c h w a r t z , house committee chairman, said no one was in the synagogue when he arrived and found rocks and glass "all over the place." He said that last week he and Rabbi H. P. Solnica f o u n d swastikas painted on walls of "the~synagbgue.""'A''dayiateiiriie said, a group of white youths shouted at Rabbi Solnica, as he was walking to the synagogue, "We're going to finish off what Hitler didn't do." The rabbi said he was unable to,identify any of the youths. Windows have been broken, and the sanctuary entered, and money was stolen in previous vandalism incidents, he said.

The central part of the chapel program is regular Sabbath services. Inmates usually de.slrc to w e a r yarmulkes and prayer shawl "so as to feel the quality of the service." Rabbi Cohen noted that volunteer attendance usually is 100 per cent. He compared this figure-with a s u r v e y t h a t showed 98 per cent of the Jewish inmates did not attend services even once a year before being placed in prison. The rabbi also noted that many of the men continue their religious affiliation after leaving prison. He attributed this desire to the men themselves rather than to the efforts of the chaplain serving* them. "While there are gaps between visits and during vacation periods," Rabbi C o h e n said, "a program which is ongoing creates enough momentum that during these absences the men c o n d u c t their own services and involve the new inmates .within the program." One special problem Rabbi Cohen found was that the typical sermon is likely to evoke hostility among prisoners when they feel they are being "talked to rather than talked with." Rabbi Cohen therefore creates instead of such sermons, "dialogue experiences concerning topics of contemporary concern, as well as the weekly Torah portion." He said ha found it surprising how often the known intellectual talents of such prisoners "overtake the conversations" which proceed in the same direction that a sermon does "but without any of the hostility."

Jerusalem (JTA) — Deputy Premier Yigal Alton reported to the' Cabinet that immigration to Israel dring the first six months of the existence of the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, which he heads, represented a 34 per cent increase over immigration during the corresponding period of the previous year. Mr. Allon said that from the beginning of November, 1968 to the e n d of April, 1969 there were 15,262 new arrivals compared to 11,400 during the same months of 1967-G8. He said that of the newcomers, 9,597 declared themselves immigrants on arrival, 4,526 came as temporary residents with the intention of registering as immigrants at a later stage; and 1,139 were tourists who decided to remain permanently. The figures did not include 1,182 Israelis who returned home after long periods abroad and are being looked after by the Ministry. Mr. Allon said his Ministry also looks-after 4,400 overseas students presently in Israel and expects their number to be increased by 100 next year. In addition, he said, 1;500 students are expected to come to Israel for. one year courses of study during 1969.
