12,000 N.Y. Jewish Youths NEW YORK, (JTA)-Widespreadand growing use and abuse of drugs by New York City Jewish youth—including a report that some 12,000 sucli youth, aged 12 to 21, are known drug'addicts—were cited this week by a Federation of Jewish Philanthropies committee in an appeal for an emergency inter-faith program to deal with the problem. The Federation Committee on Drug Abuse, said the "drug peril' in the area had "crossed all ethnic and religious lines and now threatens the total community." * Alfred G. Goldstein, commit-
tee chairman and George II. Ileyman; Jr., Federation president, said the surveys on drug abuse and the program of recommendations resulted from a just-completed - eight-w e e k workshop for rabbis and social worlters made possible by a special grant from the Frederick W. Richmond Foundation. The workshop was informed t h a t in one Brooklyn high school which has a 75 percent J e w i s h enrollment some 80 percent of the Jewish students had experimented with drugs. A growing number of drug usage incidents had been reported in Jewish-sponsored camps '
both among campers as young as 12 and among counselors. The workshop also was told that similar reports have been received a b o u t Jewish day school students ages 12 to 18. A survey of patients at Bernstein Institute at the Beth Israel Medical Center showed that of 8,800 patients in 1969 addicted to heroin and other hard drugs, about 450 or five percent were Jews. The daily census of .350 patients in the Meth-. adohe Maintenance Treatment program and the 40 youths in the Phoenix House program at Bernstein Institute showed similar percentages, according to the Federation. Among the recommendations for the proposed inter-faith program was one for at least, 30 more treatment centers in New Thant, the U.S. State Depart-, York City.

Relevancy The youthful cry to be shown the "relevancy of religion—of Judaism—of the Bible" so often is answered with meaningless rhetoric. Yet from the pen of a young naval officer has come en original interpretation of the 23rd Psalm written in the idiom of niany of today's young people. Perhaps here is an answer. A 1968 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Lt. (j.g.) Gary Joel Hirsch of Norfolk, Va., was killed in an accident during a flight training exercise at the Chase Field Naval Air Station. Among his possessions forwarded to his parents was a copy of a Prayer Book with the ribbon marker at the 23rd Psalm, and an interpretation of the Psalm in Gary's own handwriting: "The Lord is my happening. He's where it's all at. He tricks me sweetly. He never bugs me. He says 'make It' when the duds put me all 7 down. 1 keep my cool'cause He straights with me. Even though my head's torn up and the world's a plastic mushroom, and I'm crawling on my face, everything Is cool 'cause He's there digging me. When everybody's faking and stabbing, He's super cool and He's with me, baby. He craves my face when it's ugly, man. . He lays abundance on me. Baby, ain't no way I can get hung up. He's my lifetime trick!" • .* • • There is a sharp contrast between the original sweetness of the words of the Psalmist and the harshness of this interpretation In modern English style. Some may argue that it is a travesty of the Holy Writings. Certainly something was lost in the interpretation. At the same time the "new Psalm" reflects a piety and faith in the power and presence of God. It was obviously relevant to young Gary Hirsch. Is "relevancy" worth the price?
try. While radio stations in most of the Arab countries continue to spout forth marching songs rabid with hate and with calls to destroy Israel and grind its people underfoot, Israel's most popular air sings of peace. What makes "Song of Peace" even more unusual is that it was introduced and popularized" by the entertainment troupe of the Nahal, Israel's pioneering army c o r p s . Initially some criticism had been voiced, lest _the longing for'peace should weaken the will of the Israeli; soldier as a fighting man. These fears were quickly laid to rest. The Israel soldier is not a killer. He is a civilian in defense of his home. It is peace he wants, not war, and hence ' the song. As Golda Meir said some months ago in London: "We can forgive the Arabs their killing of our sons, but we shall never forgive them for forcing our sons to till them." The song; written by Yaacoy Eotblit and Yair Rosen, is sung with rousing chorus, with handclapping and with c o n s t a n t repetition of the theme words.
The theme is reiterated again and again: (Free translation) Sing, 0 sing a song to peace Whisper not a prayer Only sing, sing a song to peace with mighty shout and blare. From his grave, the fallen soldier sternly addresses the living: The joy of victory and the songs of praise Mean nothing to us down here Don't say "there will come a day", Make that day come fast! No mere dream this should be Peace hailed by all at last. Mordechai Bar-On, former Chief Education Officer of the Israel Defense Forces, in an

The Thoughts of One Arab By Joseph Zurlel Abdul is one of many. He intended to lay mines and explosives in the public thoroughfares and to attack Israeli soldiers. His intentions w e r e thwarted. ' A few hours ofter crossing the Jordan be was Intercepted and to-day he Is lying at the Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem — without legs and without a future. . Abdul Hadah Jehad has been in hospital for two months now. He is pleased with the medical attention he is receiving. Some days ago I happened to p a s s by his bed. He answered my questions willingly and without hedging. He admits that "after all that I have passed through, I have nothing to lose". "Who are you, Abdul?" I asked. "I am 22 years of age. I was born in a village near Nablus. My father died several years ago. Three of my brothers are in Germany. They are working there, and are pleased- with their lot. , Q: And why didn't you do like them? . A: I spent a year in Germany; I worked there, earned money and went out with girls. I lived well. But I had to leave; the authorities wouldn't permit me to remain there any longer. Q: So what did you do? A: I came back home. I worked a little, earning about IL. 4.-a day. I wasn't satisfied.
Q: Was it your wage that didn't satisfy you? A: That's right. But neither did the general atmosphere in the village. Q: What exactly do you mean by "atmosphere"? A: I wanted the Israelis to leave, but I knew that that could not be. The Israelis are strong and we are weak. Q: Did they speak openly about that in your village? A: Well, I hardly heard anything about it, but I sensed what was in their hearts, and those who made pretense, were convinced later on by the radio and television stations. Can you imagine what it means to hear preaching for 20 hours daily, to rise up and do something? It is not important how or what. The main thing is to do it. Q: And did' this preaching have any influence on you? A: And how! It swelled my head. I could ho longer sit quiet. I got up and left home. I crossed the border to Jordan. Shortly afterwards, I joined the Organization. Q: But you could also enlist in the Jordanian Army? A: Yes, but who can live on the pay that they give to privates?

didn't beat me, they didn't talk to me. Two of them carried me to a vehicle and brought me here. : Q: Why didn't they leave you in the field, to die? A: I don't know; perhaps they took pity on me. Q: Were you, who had com* to kill, worthy of pity? A: Perhaps not; Q: What did you know about the Israeli s o l d i e r s before crossing the Jordan? A: I knew that they-'are strong, and I knew that if I were, caught and brought to trial, they wouldn't hang me. Q: What do you think: of. thai medical attention you are receiving here? A: WeU, as you see, I lost my two legs, up to the knees, but I have no complaints. The doctors and the nurses are very devoted. Q: Do you feel that they hate you here because you are an Arab who intended to murder Jews? A: No, I haven't got the feeling that they hate me. But even if they had shown me hatred I wouldn't be angry, at them. I'll explain why. One night I ' felt I was choking, I couldn't breathe. I thought I was going to die. I summoned the nurse. She saw that I was in great suffering and called the doc* tors. Believe it or not, they decided to perform an operation on my throat at two o'clock in the night. After coming to, I asked myself: Surely, I might have killed the son or the brother of that same doctor who operated on me and saved m e from death! Q: Two months have passed since you came here; you. have lost your legs; it's doubtful whether your girl friend will want to marry you now. What do you intend doing? A: Some days ago, an officer visited me and he asked me if I want to pass over to Jordan. I said no. I haven't anything to do there. I want to die. That's what I want. Q: You talk like one in despair. Didn't you think about it before crossing the Jordan? A: No one believes me, but this is the truth. Since joining the Organization until the night I crossed the Jordan, I never heard of any failures. I heard only of successes—of so many people being killed here,_ of _: houses being blow up there, of bridges being demolished elsewhere. I never saw people killed; I never heard of sabotuers being killed. Q: And what do you believe to-day? i A: I'll tell you frankly. There will be no peace with Israel. The refugees will continue to suffer. The Russians and the Americans will continue to meddle here, as though the Middle East was their parental home. Q: And what about the saboteur organizations? A: So long as there is no peace they will continue to, fight. They won't realize that this is a lost war. Flexibility ; When It comes^ to regulations. Israelis aro adaptable.

Coming Home
By Mickey Gereficfc audience, Dr. Peale said, "Tomorrow when the alarm rings, instead of groaning, throw off the covers exuberantly; jump out of bed; pound your chest; say "I feel great and this is going to be a great day.' You'll see," Dr. Peale promised, "the positive results this kind of positive attitude can bring." Well we tried it. The alarm went off. In his exuberance in throwing off the covers, positive thinking husband knocked over a lamp and broke it. Jumping out of bed resulted in his throwing his back out of whack, and I cut my foot while picking up the broken lamp. Half crippled, we both hobbled out of the. house. At the end of the day we compared notes. I thought po'stfye all day, but unlike "Guideposts" the Jewish Press was still operating in the red. (That's positive results for the red ink manufacturers.) Positive thinking husband reported that, the bad back slowed him down and all the other faster moving salesmen got the orders he was after. (That's positive results for them.) We had a bad back and a sore foot to add to our list of problems, so we had even more life than before, and that's a positive result. Anyone who wasn't a positive thinker would think that maybe something went wrong with the experiment. ' .\ • But we know—don't we Dr. Peale.
'People of the Book' Tel Aviv (ZINS)-Publicity lauding several recent outs t a n d i n g archaeological finds in Israel has inspired a wry joke now making the rounds of Tel Aviv: The Jews are known as "the People of the Book." When other peoples dig in the ground, they find oil, copper, iron, gold, silver, diamonds. We Jews dig and what do we find? Scrolls!
American History and Israel Bonds give the sick man a poison of some sort, anti-biotic, or some other poison and the" secondr trouble cures the first. That is the way "Doctor" Alexander Hamilton figured. Maybe the bond trouble could be used to cure the weak nation trouble. So "Doctor" Hamilton persuaded Congress to adopt his medicine. Let the Federal Government take over the responsibility for redeeming the valueless state bonds. Immediately, the prestige of the national government arose and the states became second fiddles. By this one-economic measure., Hamilton did as much to create, a nation we know as the "United States as the Constitution itself. And historians tell us that it was with this measure for the redemption of the state bonds by the Federal Government, that brokers first began to set up,their little places on a little two by four street in downtown New York and so the insignificant Wall St. where cattle had grazed became the financial capital of the. world. ;

Finally, they sent out the following letter to their members: "It has been said said that a man who squeezes a dollar never squeezes his wife. In looking over your donation account, it has occured to us that your wife is not getting what she deserves!" The club raised their quota in less than a week!

N.Y. Rabbinical Head Hops French Plane Sales to Libya New York (JTA) — Rabbi Harold Saperstein, elected president of the New York Board of Rabbis at the group's 89th annual meeting here this week, condemned F r a n c e for its "callous disregard of ethnical responsibility" in selling 110 aircraft to Libya while reneging on its commitment to sell Israel military equipment."

"The silent Jews are finally' speaking out," he noted. The rabbi also said that the Board of Rabbis and its lay advisory council will set up a committee to 'deal with "responsible" black leaders and public officials on racial problems; that the Board will set up an Institute on Drug Addiction and will urge synagogues and churches to open facilities for educational programs in this field.
said that the Board of Rabbis will take the initiative "in calling on the whole Jewish community of New York to mobilize 'Jtself for appropriate demonstrations wherever F r e n c h "'President Pompidou may appear." "• The rabbi, urging President Nixon and the State Department to tell President Pompidou that the sale to Libya has ] "aroused" the feelings of the American people, and calling on public officials to refrain from participating in any reception honoring him in New York City, said that "we will not stand by in silence while another-holocaust is prepared for "the remnants of Jewry who have at last found a home in Israel."

BAYONNE, N. J. (JTA)—Rep. Cornelius E. Gallagher, New Jersey Democrat and meniber of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced here that he would introduce a resolution in Congress calling on the administration to supply Skyhawk jets to Israel immediately. Gallagher charged that American policy on the Middle East "threatens to draw us into a tragic morass of mixed intentions such as developed in Vietnam." He warned that "unless American policy is clear, convincing and cooly demonstrated in the Middle East, we may be tempting the Arabs and their Soviet advisors to think the unthinkable and move where no free state could ever let them go."• He declared that a "policy, which leaves no doubt as to where America's interests are aligned in the Middle East" would be . administered "by sending arms to Israel when arms are required to counter the arms sent to the Arabs by the Soviet Union." It was for this reason, he said, -his resolution would call for shipment of additional jets to Israel during the current year. ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (JTA)-U.S. Senator Joseph M. Montoya called upon President Nixon to approve immediate sale of modern military aircraft to Israel, "in as large a quantity as is necessary for her to defend herself." . .Tho New Mexico Democrat termed recent statements by Secretary of State* William P.
