The several hundred Jewish students from a score of Eastern universities came to the General Assembly to demand greater support for Jewish education, communal financing of their campus activities and a greater recognition and role for students in the decision-making and allocation processes of the community.

LONDON ( J T A ) - M r s . Margaret McKay, the pro-Arab Labor MP, has run into legal and financial difficulties in her efforts to establish an Arab propaganda and cultural center in London. Mrs. McKay, who claims honorary membership in ElqFatah, the Palestinian guerrilla organization, has taken a 17-year lease on two five-story buildings in the Chelsea district. She paid $110,000 which was donated for the purpose by Sheikh Zaid, of Abu Dalibi, an oil-rich Arab principality on the Persian Gulf. But the Sheikh's contribution; which totals $120,000, covers only the decoration of the premises with , no funds left over to run the center. The owners of the two buildings moreover have objected \o the use contemplated for them. v The land belongs to the estate "of the Earl of €adogan andillie leasesrqrlginally grantedl-fn1887, allow the, premises to be used only as a domestic residence or a girls' finishing school. The owners now insist on compliance with the original terms of the lease.

Participation of the Jewish students was welcomed in a statemeht by Philip Bernstein, CJFWF- executive vice-president, early in the convention. Mr. Bernstein said that the students, "'have done us a service by posing the issues they, are bringing to us. We are already committed to many of the programs they are pressing for, and they have helped dramatize the urgency of these needs. This includes greatly enriching the quality of Jewish education in our communities, with a strong emphasis on innovation. In a precedent-making action, the General Assembly voted unanimously to "involve the participation and membership of college groups and faculty on boards and committees of federations and agencies in the • determination of policies, programs and priorities." Reform of the decision making processes of the American Jewish community was urged by Gordon-Zacks, chairman of the Young Leadership Cabinet of theU.J.A. Mr. .Zacks charged that "we. have diluted and watered down
Jewish education to the point that far too often, in far too) many schools, it is one vast wasteland of banalities, im« imaginative, uninspiring, unirw formative and unproductive," Most of tiie products of this system, he asserted, "have no sense of identification with theif Jewish past, no relatedness td the Jewish present and no sensft of common destiny with a Jew* ish future. He said that education should be the responsibility of the fed* eration rather than the exclu* sive concern of the synagogue* and rabbis. Mr. Zacks complained that too mush stress was placed on attempting to ensure operating efficiences of the Jewish agencies rather than on their pur« poses. He urged inclusion in the fed* eratlons' decision-making process of men whose only qualification is Jewish learning and) commitment to Jewish life,1*.' and said that "we must involve ' young people in significantly greater numbers."

Dayan States Israel Capable of Defense Tel Aviv (JTA) — Defense Minister Moshe D a y a n said this week that Israel was fully capable of defeating the Arabs in another war despite the fact that combined Arab strength is CO percent greater in air power and 50 percent greater in armor than it was before the June, 1967 Six-Day War. Since Jhe war, the Egyptian Air Force and armor have become 70 percent stronger than they were when the war broke out. Israel's objective was to prevent escalation that could lead , to a' new war and-lo dampen the Arab will to fight. Gen. Dayan T doubted that a major war would erupt in the ^very near future" but observed that the Arab states, especially Egypt, were mobilizing their forces and preparing o p i n i o n at home and abroad for a new r o u n d of fighting against Israel.
In the face of the threat* posed by the Arab g o v e r n ments and the P a l e stinian, guerrilla movement, Israel has become substantially stronger in equipment and training than It was before the Six-Day War. D a y a n belittled Egyptian military strikes against Israeli positions in the Suez Canal zone and, the,Sinai Pen* ' ninsula. Egyptian, raids have achieved little success. Gen. Dayan disclosed that in the past seven months the Egyp* tians carried out 13 air attacks, IS commando raids and one naval sortie, Israel suffered 49 casualties, only a small fraction of them fatal. But the Egyptians suffered 30 casualties, mostly killed. During the same period, Israel made over 65 air raids and an unspecified number of ground attacks which cost the Egyptians more than 1,000 casualties. • .

Employment Refysed Radicals Seen as Small Segment of To Sabbath Observer Jewish Participants in Moratorium
NEW YORK (JTA)-The City .Human Rights Commission announced this week that a Hassldic Jew from Brooklyn had probably been discriminated •against, by the RCA Global .Communications Corp. when it refused to hire him allegedly because he is a Sabbath observer. Commission chairman Simeon Golar said that probable 'cause had been found in the complaint by Solomon R o t h that he would have been hired as. an electronics Technician trainee if he had not insisted on time on weekends to observe the Sabbath. If the company is found guilty of discrimination, the commission can order that itoth be hired and possibly could exact compensatory d a m a g e s for outrage and humiliation Mr. Golar said.

" Jews were called upon to join the radicals in a Jewish fast day to coincide with the next action of the Vietnam Moratorium movement. Burton Weiss of the Jewish Peace Fellowship delivered' a sermon quoting from the Midrash and Scripture. The demonstrators, including some nonJews who joined in, stood with bowed heads as the Kaddish was recited for the war dead. Thousands of Jews joined in the massive antiwar demonstrations-Saturday and Jewish institutions and families opened their doors to the demonstrators. The religious action center of reform Judaism became a first aid station Friday night when police fired tear gas at radical youths attempting to demonstrate against the nearby Embassy of South Vietnam. An estimated 200 gas victims, Jewish and non-Jewish, were given medical^ assistance. The center, maintained by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, served also as a housing office. Sleeping facilities were provided at the National B'nai B'rith headquarters building, the offices of the Jewish Community Council of G r e a t e r Washington, and many synagogues. Families from the suburbs provided beds and food for many hundreds and even transported some to and from downtown Washington. Peace services were held at virtually all Washington syna-' gogues Friday night. Many more Jews arrived here than expected. A group of self-styled Jewish radicals, representing many cities-and various radical organizations, assembled an estimated 1,000 p e r s o n s at a Methodist church!
Contingents of Jews for Urban Justice and other components of the Jewish Organizing Project marched in the general demonstration as Jewish units. The radicals formed only a small segment of the Jewish participation in the mobilization this weekend. In addition to the thousands of Hillel mem-bers and those from religious youth organizations in evidence were untold numbers of Jewish adults, rabbis, and active members of many religious and communal organizations. It was the largest scale Jewish participation in any mass demonstration here in history. The number of Jews exceeded the Jewish participation in the great 1963 civil rights march here.

Who Speaks for American Jewry? By Boris Smolar The election of Max M.

QUESTION: Why is a mourner forbidden to work during the seven days of mourning? ANSWER: The rabbis in the Talmud deduce this prohibition from a verse in the Book of Amos which reads: "I will turn your festivals into mourning." From this they learn that "as labor is 'forbidden during a festival so is it forbidden during mourning." The logic behind this association is quite obvious. Both the gaity that is required during a festival and the sadness that is required during the seven days of mourning require a certain state of mind. Ordinary labor detracts from the spirit of joy during the festival as it does ft»m the spirit of grief during the seven days of mourning. . .. '" One of the later rabbinic authorities explains that any manner of labor is forbidden especially during the first three days of mourning under any circumstances because the first three days are those in which a mourner is supposed to cry over his loss .Being engaged in work takes his^attention away from the matter at hand so much that he cannot engage in crying. QUESTION: When Is the proper time to make the rent In • One's clothes during one's bereavement? 1 ANSWER: Basically, the proper time is when first'observing the death of one's loved one or when first hearing the sad news. • For some reason, in many communities it became a practice to have the rent torn when the casket is taken out of the-funeral hdme or wherever the funeral eulogy is delivered. QUESTION: Why is the statue of Moses, made by Michaelangelo, a figure with horns? ANSWER: This isibased upon perhaps a misunderstanding of the •Biblical version which describes Moses' appearance when he ., ; . descended from Mount Sinai. The Bible writes that there was . . a shine, on his face. This word has become lo be mistrans',..' , lated as meaning that Moses sprouted horns whereas the , Bible meant to say that a brilliant radiance emitted forth from his visage. The word "Keren" In the Bible can be taken ; — to'mean either "horn" or "ray."

Large Proportion of Jews Among Runaway Husbands ByBENGALLOB Jews comprise at least a third of the thousands of middle class American husbands who each year find the pressures of their responsibilities unbearable and run away to seek a different way of life— though usually not for good.

sake of his wife and children and thus "subjects himself to a breaking point" more quickly than do non-Jews. Total and permanent disappearance is rare in the company's experience. If a Jewish fugitive dropped out of sight permanently, this would mean he would never again see or be in touch with his wife or children or members of his family, which would be "almost too much for a Jewish man to consider." Jewish wives also run off and for the same reasons, he reported, but on a far smaller frequency—about one runaway Jewish wife to 250 runaway Jewish husbands. Among nonJews, the official reported, the ratio is closer to 100 to one. Teen Runaways Teenagers also run a w a y and finding them is another phase of the company's work. Mr. Goldfader reported that, as of five years ago, the number of Jewish teenage runaways was very small, proportionately; •' : In recent years, he added, the problem of the teenage runaway has been g r o w i n g steadily and "so has the per-
centage of J e w i s h children among them." He indicated he felt that the teenage runaway problem reflected such developments as the emphasis on education for. the young, the concept of equal rights within the family community, and concern for thedowntrodden among young idealists. He asserted t h a t parents cannot or.-will not understand why their child has run away. A common remark of the parents, he d e c l a r e d is "How could she do this to us? We gave her everything she everasked for." Mr. Goldfader said that if the parents asked themselves, "How could she do this to herself?" they might have more understanding of the problem.

Israels Television Revolt'
By ELIAHU.SALPETER JerusalemIt will probably go down in local history as the "television revolt," and it may mark the beginning of the Israeli's political maturity. It started several months ago when the directors of Israel's young television service felt that they were ready to provide seven-day-aweek programming in Hebrew as well as in Arabic. - T h e y submitted the tentative programming outline to the board of the Broadcasting Authority, created by a special law to act as an autonomous body to run, on a non-profit basis, the State-owned radio and television services. Because of religious opposition to broadcasts on Friday night and on Shabbat, the board referred the matter to the 31-membcr plenum of the Authority, which in (urn asked the Cabinet for its opinion. In the Cabinet, the National Religious Party minister's opposition to the Friday night and Shabbat broadcasting was voted down, without creating any major fuss. The plenum of the Authority, by a majority vote, decided to give the green.light for the seven-day schedule, set the date for its start as of Nov. 1, and the whole matter was quickly forgotten by the p u b l i c , orthodox,and non-religious alike. However, whether by coincidence or not, N<jv. 1 came just after the Knesset elections at the beginning of the customary bargaining between the dominant UAor, Party, and, its, .paten:. tial partners in the Government coalition. At the first meeting between Premier Golda Mcir, and National Religions Party leader Moshe Haim Sbaplra, tie latter brought up the Friday night television broadcasts. As it became fairly dear later, he did not really expect a reversal of the decision, nor was it the most urgent issue for the religious Jews who, for the past 20 years, have gotten used to radio broadcasts seven days a week. To Mr. Shapira's surprise, however, Mrs. Meir immediately retreated, saying an acceptable solution will be.arranged. Israelis are sophisticated enough to take in their stride the horse-trading that always precedes Government coalition agreements as a necessary price of the Israeli parliamentary system. But what happened this time seemed a little too much. Having made her promise without asking
anybody in her party (where the majority is secular-minded), she created a fait-accompli and the Religious Party quickly stated that no television on the Sabbath was only a preliminary condition for the coalition negotiations in which their more substantive demands will-be presented. Mrs. Meir p u s h e d through the Alignment Executive an appeal to the board of Broadcasting Authority to abstain from the Friday night and Saturday broadcasting. But the board—in the past often acting as a rubber-stamp for the Government—refused to heed it. Next, Mrs. Meir pushed the same recommendation through in the Cabinet which, according to the law, can make proposals to the plenum of the Authority. The Plenum is, in fact, composed according to a party key, parallel-to the outgoing coalition —Labor-Mapam Alignment and Religious Party appointees have an absolute majority. Therefore, it was a foregone conclusion that the plenum, called into a special session on Thursday afternoon—about 24 hours before the scheduled broadcast — would automatically approve whatever the Government wanted. However, the unexpected happened. The way in which Cabinet members spoke of the plenum vote as a mere formality, as well as the violent criticism in the independent papers, created a rebellion: In a secret ballot, by 13 votes against 9, the plenum rejected the C a b i n e t demand. , (Many, of the 31 members, did not even bother to attend the meeting.) Instead of calling it quits, Mrs, Meir accepted an appeal by 10 members of the plenum to bring the decision for review before the Cabinet. Under the by-laws of the Authority, this meant that implementation of the appealed decision was to be withheld-until the Cabinet discussion. She took the decision Friday noon, obviously late qnough to make sure nothing happened to spoil matters. By this time, the matter had become the most important topic in the country. From being a symbol of religious coercion it became a symbol of the disdain of the politicians for the will of the majority. A furious public resigned itself to "another sell-out." But despite everything, the broadcast took place. A short time before it, one of the.Supreme Court justices issued a temporary injunction against Mrs. Meier and order the Authority to proceed with the program as scheduled.

And if people have one another and take time out to live and to love and to enjoy one another, and. say so, there is little more they need. In our better judgment (and at times it dawns upon us too late) we may fealize that we possess a wealth that we use so miserly: our acknowledged approval and expression of appreciation. It conies in small packages but it turns up in huge bundles of joy to the receiver and to the giver. It comes in a warm smile, in honest p r a i s e, in a note of thanks, in a word of encouragement, in a gesture of comfort, in a soft blessing, in-a -fervent prayer.— -...It takes little effort but it h a s ' u n b o u n d e d value and depth. And so many hunger for acceptance,' for approval, for a nod of encou^ement. But, alas, we hold it back and stifle it in dead silence. We are so loud to blame but so mute to praise. "I like not only to be loved, but to be told that I am loved," George Eliot was not ashamed to a d m i t , "the realm of silence'is for the grave." No time is more appropriate to a life of thanks-living than on Thanksgiving.. ,
Jews and Negroes In the British Isles By S. J. GOLDSMITH London— In America, the debate about Jewish participation in the civil rights movement is based on experience over a number of years. In Britain, it is based on' no experience whatsoever. Actually, t h e r e is ho civil rights movement here, as the struggle is not for civil rights, which are taken for granted, but for racial equality, which is acknowledged but not universally practiced.. The problem of integrating people of a different color is not an easy one, evert in a country without an endemic color prejudice. It would have been difficult even if they were all professors at the London School of Economics. • Most of the colored' people here arrived in the wake of the liquidation of the Empire. It appears that it is more difficult, to liquidate an empire than it is to build one. We have now 1,250,000 colored people in the British Isles, three times the number of Jews. It is not a large minority in a population of 55 million, but they are black or brown. They campaign for their complete integration. Where do the British Jews come in? .British Jews have hitherto kept themselves to themselves as far as this issue is concerned. I am speaking, of course, of British Jews as a group. Individual Jews have been prominent in the campaign for r a c i a l integration ever since it sinception. Bill* there was no collective Jewish involvement. This has a l w a y s bothered some British Jews. Arc Jews entitled to adopt the attitude of "I am alright, Jack"? What about the Jewish teachings? Have Jens not been Themselves the .victims of racial prejudice and discrimination not so very long ago? All the familiar arguments. •

Did You Know? "Jewish history is n e v e r placid, We go crashing from one huge crisis to another—a tiny people, frenetic without wishing to be, yearning to be quiet, doomed to the sometimes disorderly but always creative c o n f u s i o n which genius entails." — Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, Executive Vice Chairman, United Jewish Appeal
Last year, the Board of Deputies of British Jews appointed a working party, a kind of commission, to f i n d out and propose how Jews could par-, • ticipate in the struggle for racial equality, and integration, and how they could help the emancipation of negro immigrants. The working party was chaired by Sir Samuel Fisher, a noted civic leader and a vice-president of the Board. Now wo have the report ol the working party. It is interesting in many ways. Yes, the Jews must make their contribution as a group. They cannot stand by when a.struggle of this kind is being waged. But how? What are the Jews, as Jews, to do about it? It appears that is easier to accept a principle than to put it into practice. We have nodemonstrations here, no civil marches,, no freedom rides,_ which Jews.could join. The report recommends in the first place a collective effort of self-education before" British Jews are ready to take an active part irt the campaign for racial integration. This is not surprising. British Jews are mostly middle-class and all white. There are many among them who do not accept the principle. ' On the practical side, Jewish representatives will now join various local and national comnrtitees, which are engaged in the fight for racial integration. The report also calls upon Jewish employers to extend employment to colored people, arid to absorb them into industrial training schemes. Do the Negroes really want help from Jews? Sir Samuel Fisher, an old f r i e n d, was frank with me. "We really don't know." Some Negroes over here ^support the Arabs openly and therefore, by~flefi^ nition, arc not too fond of ths Jews. Others keep out of this argument. We must now wait for ths reaction of the colored people to the'Jewish indirect offer of help. Those who are engaged ' in the campaign for racial integration will no doubt welcome the Jewish collective involvement, however reluctant and circumspect. But first of all, this report has assuaged the Jewish conscience,- which can at times be a bard taskmaster,'

How Much to Believe? By Carl Alpert
Haifa—The reader overseas is frequently bewildered by the contradicting claims of Arab and Israel spokesmen. Almost every border incident is reportr ed in such conflicting t e r m s that one would h a r d l y believe the two s i d e s were t a l k i n g about the same occurrence. I have often been asked: Can we really belleve the Israel „ . account of the C a r l various military clashes? This is a little country. There are no secrets. Nothing can really be kept hidden for ^very long. 'And any Israel government, which tried to follow a policy of hiding or distorting the truth wouldn't last very long. The public here is ultrademocratic. There are enough political parties in opposition to seize upon any credibility gap and press it for political advantage. Hence, quite aside from moral and philosophical considerations, the government must/be careful to maintain public confidence for pragmatic reasons. In simple words, you can place fall, complete and implicit faith in the Israel account of what Is happening along the borders — d e s p i t e what the Arabs may claim to the contrary. •••-•.. I must add that there are times when military and strategic reasons (dictate the temporary withholding of information. It may happen that nine El Fatah saboteurs, bent on a crucial mission, are intercepted and all killed or captured. However, the news may be suppressed—to keep the enemy guessing. They . won't know what happened. They7 will send others, to investigate. , It is also a rigid policy .of the Israel Defense Forces not to announce its own casualties until the family has been notified. It would be cruel to have a family learn of its loss from
radio or press announcements. None have disputed the humane considerations which dictate this policy; Other cases of temporary withholding of news are based on the desire not to give the enemy any information which might conceivably be useful to him. On the other hand, if the Israel military spokesman says, that during an aerial dogfight, over the Canal, we shot down 4 Egyptian Migs, and "all our planes returned safely to base,. that statement can be believed fully. Recently the Israel spokesman a d m i t t e d frankly that Egyptian planes had made a sortie over the lines, had attacked an Israel outpost, and had returned at once,to Egypt with no loss to themselves. It .did not put Israel in a very good light, but the truth was more important than merely making a good impression. Not long ago.Moshe -Dayan gave precise figures of certain Israel losses, compared with Egyptian claims. The Arabs said that during'Aligust, and_ September Israel had suffered' 529 casualties. The true figure, Dayan said, was 57. Egypt boasted their men had brought down 34 Israel planes in the two-month period. The truth was that three Israel planes were lost. The total of Israel losses In the two and a half year period since the Six-Day War, according to Arab tales, adds up to more, planes, - tanks, artillery and other armored vehicles than Israel had in its possession. One has only to recall the Arab claims of fantastic victory during the first hours of the War in June, 1967, to realize how much credibility can be attached to this modern version of the 1001 tales of the Arabian nights. . Thus, if the editors of your local daily newspaper publish the conflicting claims of both, side by side, you at least will know .which to believe—even though there are still; some .naive (or willfully malevolent) observers who pretend to objectivity.

Five U.S. Governors Impressed by Israel Editor's note: The following excerpts are from a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Sbukcrt, from their son, Marty, a junior at Yale University « • • MORATORIUM VIEWS . By the time you get this, I'll be in Washington. I can understand how you feel, but first of all, there isn't that much to worry about. The Justice Department has granted a parade permit to march down Pennsylvania A v e n u e and has expressed confidence that the demonstration will be peaceful. . There are two sources from which violence could o c c u r (I'm going to be honest), the troops in Washington (about 87,000 of them) police don't seem to be that big a factor, and the Weathermen a violent, BO-calied revolutionary wing of SDS. Troops usually do not provoke incidents. The Weathermen do, but they will be such a tiny minority that they can be handled with little trouble. Any disturbances will be minor and scattered. There will be no riot or overreactive violence like in Chicago last year. The march will be effective provided a large n u m b e r of non-violent people are present. Fortunately, that is what has happened. , ; '" Demonstrations have had a great effect on Nixon. He is thinking in terms of withdrawal. If the electorate of this country shows him that it's had enough of the war, he'll make concessions to end it, no matter what Agncw is saying. He is flexible and political enough to do that. 'The last moratorium had a greater;effect on him than any-, one knows. It won't change his general immoral attitude and view of the world, but it will end this war. And that's pretty important. . The United States has invaded a country and destroyed it. Not only has it killed many people and squandered billions of dollars, but it has chemically destroyed much of Vietnam's food-growing capability, upset the balance of nature by defoliation of broadleaf plants, and may have made the whole nation totally incapable of any tort of self-support. , If I and people like me stayed home and didn't go to Washington, the demonstration would consist, of a, small number of violent extremists. There would be no peaceful mass march to •alert the nation that responsible people are disgusted by the war and by the Administration. If that happened, the Administration would be able to point outside and say, "You see, like we always said, the anti-war movement is just a small band of radicals and impudent snobs.

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Five U.S. governors declared here that they believed the quest for a lasting peace in the Middle East "must include direct negotiations between the prin•cipal parties." The governors, who wound up a week-long visit to Israel, said in a statement summing up their experiences here that "our conviction that people can live together if they can sit at the same table together s t e m s from our experience as a people made up of divers elements who came to America from all over the world." The governors are James A. Rhodes of Ohio; Frank Licht of Rhode Island; Claude R. Kirk Jr., of Florida; Frank L. Farrar, of South Dakota; and Calvin L. Hampton, of Utah. They said they would report on their Israeli visit to the National Governors Conference. Their statement said in part: . "After a week's visit to Israel we arc convinced that the Government and the people of this historic land desire p e a c e above all other things . . . We have talked with many civilians, both Jewish and-Arab. We have seen and talked with officers and men of the highly respected Israeli armed forces.
