B'nqi B'rith Head Fears New 'Sfiow Trials' of Soviet Jews • Washington (JTA)-The president of B'nai B'rith expressed "great anxiety" that the Soviet Union's "staged press conference" last week, in which 31 Jews '. denounced "Israel aggression," may be the forerunner of greater repressions and possible "show trials" of Soviet Jews who have applied for immigration to Israel or have protested anti-Jewish discriminations in their homeland.' "The unusual character and Intensity of the Soviet propa' ganda effort raises questions whether its ultimate purpose may be to use Jews as a scapegoat to deflect growing popular disapproval with the Soviet Union's Middle East policy," said Dr. William Wexler, president of B'nai B'rith. He said Soviet authorities. are also distressed by the nunv Bfv'5hJMi'ltUTiilv who have made the grievance1 of Soviet Jewry their cause. Dr. Wexler said that the "smokescreen nature" of the press conference held In. Moscow "wasjlemonstrated by the fact:thaf7 with a single exception, none of the 31 'Jewish leaders' 'who were obviously compelled to participate in it
has ever shown the slighest interest in Jewish affairs." Ho said it was "revealing" that the Kremlin "has suddenly discovered 'Jewish leaders' since there has not been a single central agency for Soviet Jews since the government disbanded J e w i s h anti-Fascist Committee in 1948."

Women Liberationists U.S. Jewish Population Study By David Schwartz
you ever see women, they ask, standing on the ladders, in tile building t r a d e s ? The men stand on the ladders and when the women pass, they whistle to them. The liberationists insist they should also have the right to whistle. Above all, the liberationists feel that the general overall atmosphere which distinguishes men from women must be removed. Perhaps to the end of better i n t e g r a t i o n women should be bussed to the bar rooms. All of tliis would produce more equality, but Isn't it really the differences that give the savor of life. A really equal world would be a terrible bore. The French have a s a y i n g , "Bless the Lord for the little differences."

Parochial School State Aid Forecast Albany, N. Y. (JTA)-Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller forecast this week that the State Legislature would earmark funds for private religious school aid this year. Although he did not name a specific sum, it reportedly would be some $15-20 million for the fiscal year beginning April 1. Gov. Rockefeller has spoken out for repeal of the Blaine Amendment w h i c h prohibits parochial school aid. But he said he would not endorse sectarian subsidies that violated the constitution. Most Jewish organizations have assailed the move to repeal the B l a i n e Amendment while Orthodox Jewish groups have welcomed the repeal moves. Meanwhile in Annapolis, Md., state superintendent of schools James A. Sensenbaugh said,a proposed $12 million grant to private schools next year was "fraught with dangers" and should be defeated. He stated that of some 133 private schools established in Maryland since the Supreme Court's 1954 desegregation rul-, ing, "a number" were opened in deliberate avoidance of integration. Approval of the grant, he charged, would encourage additional avoidance.

The Jewish News asked some of the first 15 volunteers for reactions and quoted Mrs. Morris Eigenfeld as replying "I think that some of our preconceived notions about the Jew?, lsh population will go out the window when this population survey is in.?' The volunteers found people generally cooperative, a quality needed among subjects since each interview requires 90 minutes or more. One volunteer" said it was often necessary to make three separate calls to complete an interview. Types of Cleveland Jews interviewed among the first 250 families ranged from very Orthodox to those barely acknowledging their Jewishness.

Jewish Businessmen Paris (JTA)—A new "Orleans Affair" has erupted in the small French provincial city of Amiens. Jewish store owners and businessmen are being accused of "kidnapping" : and other "immoral acts" in a campaign of rumor that has spread through the town by word of mouth. The Amiens affair broke out in the same mysterious manner in which a similar situation developed in Orleans last year. The rumors seem to have started in a girls' high school and to have spread from there throughout the city. Hardest hit victims have been the women's clothing stores, some of which are now standing practically empty. L o c a l Jewish businessmen have also reported receiving threatening calls warning them of "reprisals" should they fail to return the Christian girls they were accused of kidnapping. One local merchant, Mme. Jeanne Dubois, who although

Rabbis Clash in . , Mideast Debate New York (JTA)—An Arab sided with a rabbi on the Mideast question and another rabbi called the first one a "proArab Jew" in a heated debate on WOR-TV's "Tempo 9" program.

Rabbi Alan W. M i l l e r charged he was confronted on one side by an anti-Israeli Arab, and on the other by a "pro-Arab Jew" who was willing to make uncalled for con: cessions to the Arabs. "Tho reality," Rabbi Miller asserted, "is that Israel has won a war from the Arabs and they refuse to li edanwodnh-aH refuse to lie down and talk peace."

The Jewish Quiz Box
QUESTION: What is the meaning of the Magen David? ANSWER: The origin and significance of the Magen David is steeped in mystery as an emblem for Jewish people. It seems to have been documented for the first time in the Fourteenth Century. Actually, we know of isolated instances.where this symbol was used by the ancient pagans and by Christians as well as Moslems. Among the various reasons given for its origin and significance are the following: some contend that it was a symbol of the Jewish belief in the omnipresence of God. The six points indicate the six extremities (north, east, west, south, up and down). Some claim that the interconnection of the two triangles is a demonstration of opposition to the idea of a duality of powers, Jewish stressing instead the unity of God. fee s p o n s o r e d Center by Community at Merle Others claim that the symbol was called the Shield of David Hay Lanes, beginning Sun- as a symbol of our belief in the Messiah of the family of David day, March 15. who would some day come to bring salvation to the universe.

N.Y. Federation Pressured For More Education Funds NEW YORK (JTA)—A coalition of Jewish students and teachers called upon the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies to allocate more funds from its annual budget to Jewish education and to the setting up of a Jewish public library in the city. The coalition of religious and radical students and teachers, Concerned J e w i s h Teachers and Students for a Jewish Education, issued this demand at the Pedagogical Conference of the Jewish Education Committee which was attended by several hundred rabbi?, educators, teachers and supervisors of Hebrew and Jewish schools in -New York; . The theme of the conference •was "Teaching for Lasting Jewish Values." Students from Yeshiva University, and members of the Jewish Liberation Project and the Havura, distributed leaflets contending that "the Federation allocated only 8.7 per cent of its $22 mil-
lion operating budget in 196768 to Jewish education." A- participant in the Conference reported that Allan Minlz, a member of Havura and representing the coalition, told the meeting that the demonstration was an expression of mounting anger and frustration with the Federation over its "insensitivity to the needs of Jewish youth who are striving to maintain and deepen their heirtage. We do not seek confrontation with the Federation. We just want to say shalom." Mintz, the participant noted, said one aim of the coalition is to persuade the Federation to have youth representatives on its decision making councils which deal with determining policies, programs and priorities. Last month, the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston approved the involvement of college youth in such committees there. It was one of the first actions of its type in the country.. ,
RECORD SALE OF $76,580,000 INAUGURATES 1970 ISRAEL BOND DRIVE FOR $250,000,000
Congregational Activities ' 'Bit
By BEN GALLOB ' The administrator of a leading Reform congregation has asserted that 80 percent of the time and effort expended on c o n g r egational activities by Volunteer and staff workers is both a waste and a b a r r i e r .which blocks tho d e s i r e of m e m b e r s for synagogue-focused action through which they might help to solve the critical problems of society. The charge was made by Otto D. Weill of Temple Sinai of Washington, D. C. Arguing that "there is no other institution in community, state, city or nation that is so uniquely qualified to undertake the role of moral leadership as are churches and synagogues," Mr. Weill proposed that these institutions "strip all unnecessary activities from their table of organization and concentrate on the fulfilment of this one single role which they are so well equipped to assume." Ho declared that the average congregation In the 500 to 1,000 family membership category includes in its organizational structure between 20 and SO standing committees as well as' ad hoc committees for special functions. He asserted that volunteers for such a "table of organization" may total from 125 to a maximum of 300, plus the syna g o g u c's professionals. He added that if the question was posedi_as_to_"what. do alOhese people do," a realistic answer would be "pure Kafka."
They work, he a s s e r t e d , "with varying degrees of intensity to produce a fractional result." As evidence, he declared that most congregations "feel they have scored a triumph if from two to ten percent of its membership attends a special function or participates in its adult education and other on-going programs." The executive asserted that "in the nation, in our cities and in our towns, it is almost impossible to change the liierarchal entities w h i c h block yearnings for change on the part of youthful—or even adult — dissenters." He contended that Jewish congregations "can help break through by acting as microcosms where .dissent can be projected and where modern man can come to grips with the' moral issues , of pur times." He asserted that "it is in our congregations" that "hierarchies can bo logically assailed and readily broken down" In a demonstration that "the leaden organizational structures which block progress can be replaced and made responsive to the crisis of the times." .From such a process, he asserted, as s y n a g o g u e s and churches "begin to effectively cope with the moral c r i s i s , their efforts will become cumulative In the community and each member will feel the satisfaction from d e a l i n g con-
Time
structively with a problem of crisis." In line of specifics, Mr. Weill offered a proposal for changes in congregational functions aimed at more effective utilization of member time and skills. Mr. Welll described his administration plan as one designed to eliminate "the committee concept" and replace it with a "task force" approach. All congregation activities would be categorized in threo sections: administration, education and program.

Jewish Education Galled 'Total Failure'
The tale of $76,680,000 in Israel Bonds for tha first two months of 1070, a record for tho Initial phase of the campaign,' was announced this week at the International Inaugural Conference for Israel Bonds held in -'' ** Miami. The meeting launched a campaign to sell nn unprecedented $250,000,000 In Israel ' ,Bond3 during; 1070/ to spur Is-

J e r u s a l e m (JTA) — An American Reform rabbi said that Jewish education in the United States was "a total and devastating failure." R a b b i David Polish, of Evanston, III., spoke during the 81st annual convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, of which lie is vice president.. Rabbi Polish s a i d Reform synagogues should spend an estimated $5 million of their annual religious school budg-' ets to send youngsters on part time study programs to Israel. The order of priorities must be reversed, he said, "First it is necessary to obtain the commitment of the-young and then they should be given a Jewish education." O r t h o d o x day schools that try it the other way around have proved a :: ' failure; ne's'aid ne's'aid.:: "''"f"

Second Class Status of Reform Rabbis in Israel Jerusalem—Rabbi Roland B. Glttelsohn of Boston, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis called for an end to the "second class" status of Reform Rabbis in the State of Israel. Rabbi Gittelsohn further deplored the "abysmal ignorance" on the part of Israelis regardIng Reform Judaism. Rabbi Gittelsohn said, "eventually we too must have equal rights as Jews here in Israel. We will never be satisfied until every Jew is entitled to practice in Israel whatever type of Judaism he .wants to practice— or riot to practice." In Israel Reform or Conservative Rabbis cannot perform their full rabbinical d u t i e s such as officiating at marriages or serving as military chaplains In the army. CCAR vice-president, Rabbi David Polish, pointed out, "It Is ironic that here in Israel non-Jewish clergy (Christians, Moslems, etc.) receive full ' rights to officiate in these rites and we do not." Both leaders recognized that the Reform movement must exercise a degree of patience In achieving equal status in Israel, "especially at a time of the current national crisis." They implied that even such patience a n d understanding reaches its limitations. 1 In his condemnation of Chief Rabbi I. J. Unterman, Rabbi Gittelsohn scored the Orthodox leaders, "abysmal ignorance" of Reform Jewish practices. During the past week Rabbi Unterman both at a press conference and in an interview with an Israeli paper had commented that Reform Conversions could be obtained by merely seeking them out and that Reform Judaism h a d changed the Sabbath observance from Saturday to Sunday. Rabbi Gittelsohn denied the
charges dnd said that most Reform Rabbis require a minimum period of six-months study and understanding of Judaism before any conversion ceremony can take place. He also stressed the CCAR's official position requiring that Rabbis do not officiate at mixed marriage ceremonies unless a conversion has taken place and that a g r e e m e n t h a s been reached to raise the children according to Jewish practices. He said, "we too are religious Jews and eventually we must have equal rights as Jews here in Israel." R a b b i Gittelsohn believed that a need existed in the State of Israel for both Orthodoxy and Reform Judaism, especially today where many Israelis including the young people are searching for some other form of Identity beyond nationalism, "Israelis must have more than one option to choose from."
What Eort of Jews will your grandchildren be in the year 2000? Will they be Jews at all? The April 1970 issue of American Jewish Archives features an article by Rabbi Ronald M. Goldstein. As reflected In some forty communal surveys, Rabbi Goldstein attempts to portray the typical young American Jew of today and to project what tomorrow probably holds in store. The typical American Jew of tomorrow will not wish to move too far away from the city of his birth. He will marry but not Until he is over t w e n t y years of age. like his father, he will want to finish his edu-
U.S. Delegates Oppose Plans For Convention in Warsaw American professionals in the field of mental deficiency are intensifying their campaign for the withdrawal of Warsaw as the site of an international ; congress next summer because of Poland's reported anti-Semitic and repressive policies. -Dr. Martin B, Miller, associate professor of education at Yeshlva University is the sponsor of a resolution calling for a shifting of Warsaw as a site. "The issue1' involved," Dr, Miller writes, "is the way socially conscious scientists respond to the specific and flagrant behavior of a c o u n t r y whose national policy is racist, and whose contempt for basic tenets, of decency, including fundamental rights of the scientific and academic communities, is horribly evident."
"In general, I agree with the principle," Dr. M i l l e r said, ''that international scientific bodies should take a neutral stance with regard to sites for international meetings. But this must have its limits. If there is any fundamental basis for drawing the line, it must be when a host country explicitly promotes a policy of racism towards some group or groups. Poland's current conduct, leading her rapidly toward a status of Judcnreln, tragically meets this criterion all too .cWarly." Dr. Miller said that he ami others^would use their energies and contacts both in the United States and abroad to urge a boycott of the conference if it is held Jn Warsaw.

Israel Suspends Mail Flights to Eilaf Tel Aviv (JTA)-Arkia, Israel's domestic airline, has suspended the carriage ot mail to the town of J?ilat on the Gulf of Aqaba until it is satisfied that adequate security measures have been taken against possible sabotage. The airline acted apparently after consultations with Israeli internal security services but the mail ban took postal authorities by surprise. Arrangements were made to ship the Eilat mail by truck. Internal air freight a n d passenger flights were not affected by the ban. The-Israeli public learned of It in a terse radio announcement which was not repeated on later news casts. There was no official explanation. But sources here speculated that internal security agents may have warned Arkia after spotting, a potential weak link in the domestic postal service or may have learned .of a plot to blow up a plane.
cation and find a good job before assuming the responsibility, of supporting a wife and family. / Most American Jews are in business or in one or another of the professions. They are rarely artisans, rarely blue-collar workers. Most young Jews today will graduate from a university;"many will go on to do post-graduate work. The percentage of college-educated Jews is at least three times as largo as the percentage of college-educated non-Jews. The Jew of tomorrow will not abandon his desire for education. But how Jewish can we expect the new generation to be, the generation that will live to usher In the twenty-first century? Will it be Jewlshly educated? Will its members affiliate with synagogues? Today at least 75 percent of all Jewish boys and girls get a formal J e w i s h education of some sort and even study some Hebrew in a one-day-a-week or afternoon school. On the East Coast, at least 75 percent of all Jews belong to a religious or• gahizsition, but on the West Coast, with its many new settlers, over 60 percent of the Jews remain unaffiliated. Practically all Jews belong to at least one Jewish organization, and about one-half are affiliatedwith at least one non-Jewish society. Will the generation of 2000 survive as Jews? That depends, in part at least, on.what Rabbi Goldstein calls "outmarriage" — intermarriage. His figures, culled from all the surveys he has analyzed, show that in the average community today the outmarriage amounts to anywhere from 6 to 8 percent, though in Washington, D.C., a survey has demonstrated that 18 percent of the third generation,.married :out „•„,„.,„.„.„„,„. In about a (bird of all Intermarriages, the non-Jewish partner becomes a Jew by conversion. It is a safe guess that the 1970's will see a rise in the overall percentage of outmarrlages. Even so, Rabbi Goldstein ventures the statement that "Jewish Identity is strong, that there Is a conscious effort to maintain Jewish survival."

Dr. M e n a c h e m Horovitz, Deputy Director of the Adult Probation Department of the Israeli Ministry of W e l f a r e , has just completed a two-year stay in the United States during which he earned his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh S c h o o l of Social Work under the auspices of the' National C o u n c i l of Jewish Women. Dr. Horovitz acknowledged that while crime is porportionately, far less serious in Israel than in the United States, it is a matter of increasing concern. Another matter of growing public concern, according to Dr. Horovitz, is the problem of narcotics. . He emphasized mat the problem is, at present, confined to the so-called "soft" d r u g s , marijuana and hashish. Israel has had very little contact so far with LSD and other hardcore hallucinatory, narcotics, and he added that even pot hasn't approached the endemic proportions in Israel's h i g h schools and colleges as it has in the United Status. Dr. Horovitz said that Israeli
ish Leader Hits Fund-Raising South Fallsburgh, N.Y. (JTA) —A national Jewish leader has castigated the Jewish community for allowing fund-raising to take "complete priority in American Jewish life" to the detriment of "our major concern—the questions of Jewish education, Jewish culture and Jewish spirituality." The remarks were made by Dr. Judah Shapiro, former National Hillel Director and former chairman of the Commission for Reorganization of the American Zionist Movement. The Jewish community must begin to poll its members to determine priorities, Dr. Shapiro said. Currently, "there are" no votes in Jewish life. There are no democratic forms of expression . . . If Jewish education or cultural effort requires support it must come as a supplicant." Describing emphasis on health and welfare aid as "unneeded" in "these welfare days." Dr. Shapiro asserted that "In the long run, the quality of Jewish life takes the highest priority, and support for this does notin any way jeopardize funds intended for Israel." ~
Dr. Menachem Horovitz courts are generally far less . concerned with punishment than/With rehabilitation, and that many judges regard a prison sentence as a last resort for all but the most serious crimes. With a total national population of some 2,800,000 people, the number of those presently confined In p r i s o n is around 4,000. Of these, some 2,500 are confined for security reasons, including captured members of Al Fatah and other terrorist organizations. According to Dr. Horovitz, Israel's Arabs have a significantly lower crime rate than its Jews, but he attributed this to the fact that the Arabs are less urbanized. The two cultures, he d i s c o v e r e d , have markedly different crime patterns. Crimes of personal violence,, for instance, are much more frequent among Arabs. In addition, Israeli jurists have had to familiarize themselves with legal matters that are indig- enous to the Arab culture, such as the crime of allowing one's sheep to. graze.on another's ' land or eating the bark off someone else's trees :. Like any other nation, Israel has its underworld, but Dr. Horovitz does not regard it as one of the country's more serious problems. Unlike the crim-. inal element in most of the world's major cities, Israel's underworld doesn't infiltrate business and other elements of the economy. There is no highlevel organized crime in Israel, a circumstance which Dr. SBs Horovitz regards as one of the " * advantages of being an "underdeveloped"^countryr~ -——i__..._.
