Omaha . . . Morley Zipursky, general chairman of the 1970 Omaha Jewish Pliilanthrbpies-UJA-Israel Emergency Fund Campaign, has announced a goal of $1,200,000 for the current Omaha campaign. In making the announcement, Mr. Zipursky noted that American Jews are being asked (QT a 40 per cent increase in their contributions this year. "The need is obvious," said Mr. Zipursky. "There is still a war in Israel and the defense costs are three times what they were in 1967. The people of Israel must spend virtually their entire revenue on defending themselves from annihilation. At the same time, 60,000 new immigrants are expected in 1970. We

must provide the funds for the continuing expense of absorption. There is no other way." Mr. Zipursky explained that Omaha's share of the^O per cent increase brings the campaign goal to $1,200,000 and that everyone must assume part of this increased responsibility if the goal is to be met. "Early results in our campaign are encouraging," said Mr. Zipursky. "Those who have been contacted thus far have indicated by their pledges that Omaha Jewry will not turn their backs on hundreds of thousands of fellow Jews who desperately reach out to us for help."

Unofficial Report:
Nixon Says 'No' to Jet Sales for Israel Jerusalem (JTA)—The status of Israel's long pending request to buy more Phantom and Skyhawk jets from the United States was the main topic of discussion at a Cabinet meeting attended by Gen.-Yitzhak Rabin, Israel's Ambassador to Washington, who was called home for consultations. , •; . . ' . • ' • ; There-was no Indication of what transpired at the Cabinet meeting except that Gen. Rabin reported on the state of American-Israeli relations. But the newspaper Haaretz carried a report, unconfirmed by any other sources, that President Nixon has refused outright to sell more Phantoms to Israel at this time. According to Haaretz, the White House Informed the Israeli Embassy In Washington that the negative decision was based on military grounds—specifically that In America's view, Israeli air superiority over the Arabs is assured for the next few years and therefore additional Phantoms arc not needed at this time. There was
no confirmation of this report from official quarters. But the sudden recall of Ambassador Rabin lent credence to rumors that something was amiss with the Phantom deal. Most observers here were not inclined to accept, military grounds as the basis for a Nixon decision. They placed more credence in reports that the President would make a non-committal announcement, not refusing the"jets but not com«." mitting the U.S. to the sale of a specified number at an announced date. ',- On Jan. 30 President Nixon promised at a press conference to announce his decision on Israel's request for more Phantoms within 30 days. That deadline passed almost two weeks ago with no announcement from the White House. "•."Accordinflo" syndicated WashinEtoircTJiumn— ists Rowland Evans and R o b e r t Novak, the" White House decision was made several days ago. The delay in announcing it stemmed from the difficulty of "how to draft the denial in terms least offensive to Prime Minister Golda Meir."

'," 20 N.Y. Hassidic Jews El Al Using Rigid Orily'tn America Place Anti-Zionist Ad Security Devices Immigrants Son Named NEW YORK (JTA)-A group of Hassidic Jews expelled from the Satmar S y n a g o g u e in Brooklyn for placing an antiZionist and anti-Israel advertisement in the New York Times last January are responsible for preparation and placement of a similar advertisement in the Times this week. The a d v e r 11 s ement has a large headline: "ALL JEWS" and continues "who are truly loyal to the Torab, abhor and - disclaim the recent Zionist political meddling. We are gratified that our devoted President Nixon recognizes the Zionist leaders cannot represent the faithful Jewish people. All men of good will understand that authority in Jewish religions life flows only from the genu-
ine Torab sages and not from clenched fists. With their inflammatory boycotts and antiFrench hysteria, the Zionist leaders have once again revealed themselves as the archenemies of the Jewish people." The 20 Hassidic Jews bad their names posted in the Satmar Synagogue, Congregation Vetv Lev, in Williamsburg, after the Satmar Rebbe ordered an investigation into the placement of the January advertisement. . The 20 Jews were found to have been responsible for the January advertisement. They were ordered banned from the synagogue and all other Satmar institutions until they formally repented their action. However, the 20 have found refuge in a small Hassidic synagogue in Brooklyn.
U.S. Showings of Egyptian Art Postponed Indefinitely New York (JTA)—Spokesmen for two American museums said that they were disappointed but could understand why the Egyptian Ministry of Culture postponed indefinitely the loan of 43 ancient art treasures from the Cairo Museum. The exhibition, spanning 3,000 years of Egyptian art, was to have opened at the Boston Museum «>f Fine Arts on April 23, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York next August.

Rabbi Chaim Lifschitz of Brooklyn's Tora Vcdaat, told " N e w s w e e k " that Franco "went out of his way" in an incredible effort to save Jews from the German death camps by opening Die Spanish borders to refugees.
Thomas P . F. Hoylng, director of the Metropolitan Museum, received a letter from an Egyptian cultural official stating that it would be "judicious" to postpone the exhibit "in view of the extremely tense and difficult political circumstances in which we all find ourselves." The Brooklyn Museum announced that it had cancelled a projected archaeological study tour to Egypt this spring. The Museum apparently responded to Jewish community pressure. Rabbi Harold H. Gordon, executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis, urged cancellation in a letter several months ago to the President of the Brooklyn Museum, John ft." Blum, Jr. He referred to Egyptian hostility toward the United States and observed, "Would it not appear, too, that the"Brboltlyri Museumrin the midst of the world's largest Jewish community, would be saying by such a move that it has little regard for a large segment of this city against whom and against whose brethren Mr. Nasser is constantly waging war?"

Tel Aviv (JTA)-An El Al official said here this week that rigid security measures taken by the air line make it almost impossible to hijack an El Al plane. Yerahmicl Shrern participated in a public discussion of airline security. He did not specify the measures taken but indicated that the airline had also had effective ways of detecting explosives in luggage and cargo compartments. United'States federal aviation officials disclosed in Chicago that El Al and a number of European airlines are using a device that detects the odor of explosives in a plane and flashes a warning to the crew. The device was developed under a federal grant by the Illinois Institute of Technology and w a s subsequently improved by Israeli scientists. According to officials it was in - use aboard El Al planes long before Feb. 21 when Israel-bound Austrian and Swissair jets were bombed in" midair.
Polish Jews Find Homes in Denmark Washington—The Chief Rabbi of Denmark said here that the Polish refugees streaming into Denmark would become more Jewish than- they had ever been. Declaring t h a t "these were top people in Uie Polish Government," Rabbi Bent Melchior added that ''they are looking for some kind of identity. It will be difficult for them to identify themselves as Danes, so they will have to identify themselves as Jews." Rabbi Melchior is on a visit to the United States. Speaking at a press conference he said the Polish refugees had been coming to Denmark cver-sinco, the. government announced an unrestricted immigration policy in response to the upsurge of anti-Semitism in .Poland. From last spring until the end of 1969, he reported, some 1,500 Poles emigrated to Denmark. He said the Jewish community in Denmark numbers about 7,000, not counting the uncertain number of refugees from Poland. He said there is no " J e w i s h neighborhood" because apartments are so scarce that young couples take them wherever they can find them. As a result, Rabbi Melchior reported, Jewish education suffers. . ; ; - NEW 1-3-3 BEDROOM APARTMENTS FURWSHED «• UWUnMEHED

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (JTA)—Abraham Samuel Goldstein, son of a Ukrainian emigrant who became a pushcart peddler o n ' New York's Lower East Side, was appointed this week as dean of the Yale Law School, effective July 1. Mr. Goldstein, a former trial lawyer, joined the school in 1936 as an associate professor, becoming a full professor in 1961 and acceding to the endowed William Nelson Cromwell Chair in 1968. He is a specialist in criminal law. Fleming James, chairman of the faculty committee that made the selection, described Mr. Goldstein as "a man with strong and imaginative ideas about the future of legal education."

An economics major at City College in New York, he was graduated from Yale Law School in 1949.
U.S. Press Criticized for Arab-Israel War Coverage W a s h i n g t o n — A veteran American e d i t o r expressed sharp criticism of American newspaper coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict charging that the American press "misinforms and misleads many millions of newspaper readers" by equating "verifiable facts" from the Israeli side with "fabricated reports" from the Arabs. Philip'Hochstein, former senior editor of the Newhouse newspaper organization and publisher of the Washington Jewish Week, reprinted a report by Roy Essoyan, Middle East correspondent of the Associated Press, in the Bulletin of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Mr. Essoyan wrote that "the main problem with covering the war from the Arab side is the Arabs won't let you anywhere near it." He noted that "censorship is rough and frequently illogical." He declared that "most major Arab news breaks —the coups, assassinations, executions and Arab-Israeli battles that provide our daily news fare—are first announced over government radio stations." The AP correspondent pointed out, "Freedom of the press is a concept foreign to the
Arab world. The Arabs regard , the press and radio as propaganda branches of the government." Editorially commenting on Mr. Essoyan's statements, Mr. Hochstein suggested that, "our . newspapers are guilty of peddling partisan propaganda disguished as news when they fail each time they publish such an item to clearly label it as coming from a country that does not permit free access to information." . .. . The editor declared that "the very least of this offense is that the American press thereby gives the best of the deal to those countries that give reporters the least facility, while in effect punishing Israel for making reporting a common right and even a pleasant exercise. The serious part of this offense is that it misinforms and misleads many millions of newspaper readers." When You Need Professional Pott Control Emergency or Prevenlivt

He added that "Ultimately the genuine friendship of French•men for Israel will assert itself."

Reform Prayerbook Defiled By Angered Knesset Member
THE MUSIC OF ISRAEL: INGATHERING
• Jerusalem (JTA)—A Govern• ment-sponso^ed amendment to the Law of Return which defines a Jew according to religious law was passed by a vote of 51-14 in the Knesset this week after a stormy debate. The chamber was thrown Into an uproar at one point when an Orthodox rabbi spat on a Reform prayerbook and threw it' to the floor. The amendment mainly affects the national status of nonJewish spouses of immigrants. It denies Jewish nationality to all but persons born of Jewish mothers or converted to Judaism. But it grants non-Jewish' spouses, their children and grandchildren all rights and privileges of immigrants in-

cluding automatic citizenship. Those provisions were regarded as too .liberal by the ultra-Orthodox Agudat Israel and Poalei Agudat Israel which voted against the amendment. The Orthodox also objected to the amendment's failure to specify that only conversions by Orthodox rabbis would be recognized. This, in effect, permits the granting of Jewish nationality to persons converted abroad by Reform or Conservative rabbis which the Orthodox establishment in Israel refuses to recognize. It was on this point that Rabbi Mcnachem Porush of the Agudat Israel delivered a bitter harange In which be assailed Reform Judaism as anti-God." He whipped out a
Reform prayer book which he apparently had on his person, spat on a page and threw the book to the floor. Minister of Justice Yaacov Shimshon Shapiro mounted the Knesset rostrum and denounced the act as scandalous. Mr. Shapiro declared, "This is a prayer book used by hundreds of thousands of Jews. I would not protest any differently were it a Christian, Moslem, Budhist-or any other prayerbook." The Justice .Minister then moved that a committee of the house consider disciplinary action against Rabbi Porush. At that point the Orthodox Rabbi' apologized saying that be had lost his temper.

Meager Giving Denounced!
Editor's note: The following excerpfs are from a recent letter sent by Rabbi Isaac Nadoff to members of his Omaha Beth" Israel Congregation. •
*
•
* I cannri begin to convey to you the terrible state of emergency hi Israel. The State of Israel has been virtually isolated from the community of nations and exists in a state of loneliness unparalleled in interaationrelations. Only its own determination and stubborn insistence upon its inherent right to sovereignty and security have given it the strength to withstand the Nadoff designs to bring about its annihilation. • When I speak of Israel's isolation, I want you to know exactly what I mean: To this day, after 22 years of existence, tbe Vatican does not recognize the State of Israel. The World Council of Churches has gone on record as condemning the Slate of Israel in the current Israel-Arab conflict. Both the general assembly and the security council of the United Nations are heavily stacked against Israel. Israel pleads for peace and is condemned. Arabs promise genocide against Israel and are applauded and supported. •

In order to survive and protect itself, Israel is the second highest taxed nation in the world, and 80 per cent of the tax dollar must go for , defense. Attacks on Israel are not limited to the territory of Israel but take place wherever Jews live. The bombing of El Al planes, and even tbe planes of other lines carrying Jewish passengers ' has become commonplace. There is nothing new in what I'm telling you. You've read about this over and over again. What I fear most, is that we will come to accept - this as a natural course of events, and cease to
be disturbed by it. That which repeats itself day after day is no longer looked upon as unusual and we come to regard it as a normal pattern of existence. If this should happen, if we do become indifferent and callous to Israel's plight, we will be guilty of contributing to its defeat and downfall. If we are not disturbed and shaken to the core by the dangers confronting Israel, then it is as through we're in league with Israel's enemies and are helping bring on Its destruction. What must we do? How must we discharge our responsibility to the State of Israel? Our role is an easy one. We mast respond by helping Israel meet its financial needs. This, and nothing more, is our responsibility. N o t h i n g more, but also nothing less. In the Hebrew there is a word that has two different meanings The word is DAMIM. The one meaning for the word "Damim" is blood. The other meaning is, money. The people of Israel and we Jews of Omaha, are both being asked to give Damim. But the Jews of Israel must give Damim according to the first definition, blood. They pay with their lives. We are being asked to give Damim according to the second definition, money. Ours then is the lighter responsibility. I am asking that every member of Beth Israel give Damim, money, to the drive that is now in progress, l a m asking that there be 100 per cent giving at Beth Israel and thus demonstrate in a dramatic way that our obligation to Israel has been recognized and discharged. Sad to say, there has not been a 100 per cent giving at Beth Israel in the past. Too many have managed not giving at all. It is incomprehensible how any Jew can refuse to give to Israel in these critical times. How much should one give? In the past we have dealt with three categories: non-givers, reluctant givers and fair givers. • • •' ' " •...- ~ First, and without need for any explanations, non-givers must immediately become givers.

Reluctant givers are those who give grudgingly and far below their means. Their giving represents Jess than the cost of a good movie or the charge of a hairdresser. It is in the category of "throwing a bone to a dog." The fair givers are more generous. They understand their responsibility and at least make a serious attempt to discharge it. Even they are only fair fivers, for none really give beyond their means. Giving for Israel is more than mere philanthropy. It is participating fn Jewish history. It la building a nation and assuring tbe survival of a people in the face of great danger. How, then, can we permit our -response in-be so meager? How can we answer with a mere $5.00 or 510.00 contribution, which may be less than we are prepared to lose fn oar weekly card games? Radical changes must take place in our concept of giving to Israel and there is no question in my mind that the $5.00 and $10.00 gifts should not even be accepted by the campaign workers. Our goals must be set very much higher and our, response must be much more in keeping with the emergency of the hour, Many may not appreciate being told that they must give more than they are giving. But pleasa understand that we are not talking about just another charity. We are talking about a life and death struggle, about the very survival of Israel, about the most important and urgent and crucial problem that faces Jews today. In these circumstances, I hope you will be more understanding and less sensitive. Soon you will be approached for your contribution. Please be grateful that your contribution is in the form of Damim, money, and not Damim, blood. Please be sacrificial in your giving, let it hurt-a bit. If we hurt enough, then tiiere is a chance Israel will survive. Rabbi Isaac Nadoff 1

'Even-Handedness?1 Arab Air Terror Fails to A policy of "Benign Neglect" in dealing with Israel has* apparently been adopted by the Nixon administration. As we goto press, awaiting the official announcement, there is every indication that President Nixon will refuse to comply with Israel's request to BUY more U.S. aircraft. Israel stands alone. Increasing Soviet power in the Middle East should be reason enough for the United States to support the fight for survival of the democratic State of Israel. Our State Department, however, favors a policy of "Even-Handedness" in the Middle East. What does "Even-IIandedness" mean? It means that Israel's defense capabilities will be seriously hampered in meeting the threats of her Soviet-equipped Arab neighbors unless U.S. jets are made available. It means, for instance, that the United States is training nearly 600 Arab officers this year at a cost of $2,000,000 to American taxpayers. * It means that not one Israeli officer is receiving similar training this year. It means that over the past decade the U.S. GAVE more . than $1 billion Worth of arms, material and training to Arab nations. During the same period, military aid to Israel totalled under $100 million PAID FOR by Israel. It seems to mean that U.S. oil interests have a higher priority than Jewish blood. ' Official announcement of the U.S. decision on planes for Israel has now been delayed unfil Monday, We hope the delay means reconsideration of a "benign neglect" policy which could have malignant results in the Middle East.
By ELIAIIA SALPETER Coming back from a visit to the U.S. a few weeks ago, I had to use some "pull" with high-ups in El Al to get one— any one—of tiieir four flights on the day of my intended return. And it was not a last minute reservation, either. I made it more than a week ahead. On the plane there was, literally, not one empty seat. Back in Tel Aviv, I met a friend who arrived about the same time by another carrier and he reported that lie had an entire row of seats for himself. So had all the other seven passengers on the plane. There
were not more than eight passengers in the huge Boeing 707 crossing the Atlantic. If terrorist attacks had any effect on travel to Israel, it gave potential passengers the feeling that El Al planes are safer-than any other ones. One of (he El Al pilots explained it like this: "Did you notice that the same pilot often brings down the same plane to a much softer landing in bad weather than under normal conditions? When you expect some difficulty you automatically make an extra effort to counter it. The same goes for the danger of terrorism . . ."

Did You Know?
Travel agents In Tel Aviv and other places confirm the statements of the Ministry of Tourism that the terrorists failed to frighten away potential visitor's to Israel. There were practically no cancellations whatsoever - after—-the Frankfurt airport attack and the Swissair tragedy. Israelis are. of course, gratified—but at the same time they even expect it—that Jewish tourists refuse to be intimidated by the Arab terrorists. But what is specially encouraging is that most of the non-Jewish tourists take the same attitude. As one tourist from Scandinavia who came after the Swissair tragedy said: 'One must not let some gangsters dictate when to go and where to go'. The government wants to give the international community a chance to try to do something effective against the air piracy. Many here remember the angry international reaction when Israel retaliated ' last year by blowing up some empty Arab planes in Beirut without anyone suffering and compare it bitterly with the much milder reaction that followed, for example, the murder by the Arabs of over forty people in the Swissair plane. Yet, very few people in Israel entertain any serious hopes that the international community will take effective measures to crack down on air piracy. Even the moderates seem to feel that, ultimately, Israel will have to take matters into her own hands. ..,-' More than fifteen years ago Israel made it clear that closing the Gulf of Eilat before her shipping would be considered an act of war. Twice Nasser disregarded this warning, and twice he suffered crushing defeats at the hands of Israel as a result,

Sociologist Scores Jews for 'Accommodating Intermarriage1
Kennedy Airport baited all departures Sunday, March 1, as a dgn of the bereavement of the entire airport community, when the traditional "Moleh" was chanted at the International Synagogue in memory of the 47 who lost their lives in (he sabotaged Swissair plane in February. This Is the first time in the history of Kennedy Airport that departures were stopped In Drder to commemorate any event. The clergymen of the neighboring chapels at the airport synchronized, their Memorial Prayers with those of the International Synagogue.
New York (JTA)—The survival of Judaism in the United States is threatened by an increase in i n t e r m a r r i a g e between Jews and non-Jews, according to Dr. Marshall Sklare, sociologist .and author. In an article in the March issue of Commentary magazine, Dr. Sklare cites a 1965 study estimating one out of five marriages in Boston as inter-reiigious, and declared that "one can safetly assure that the figure is now approaching one in four." He observed that, "If this is true in so conservative a city as Boston, it must mean that i n t e r-m a r r i a g e has r e a c h e d large-scale proportions throughout the country as a whole." Among upper'and m i d d l e -
class American Jews, Dr. Sklare commented, the feeling is that "intermarriage is the inevitable wave of the future," and "the most highly acculturated elements of A m e r i c a n Jewry are now engaged in accommodating to it. "To' put the case boldly," Dr. Sklare said "there is no surplus Jewish population to cushion the impact of mixed marriage. While there is still a chance that the Jewish partner in a marriage will not be lost to the group, the odds are slim that the children of the union will remain within the Jewish fold." But even more important, Dr. Sklare maintained, is the fact that "when intermarriage

French Jewish Merchants Notable Pllriltl Views Victims of Rumor Campaign
By DAVID SCHWARTZ President Nixon: As President of the United States, I can appreciate Purim more than ever before. You may have noticed that my last jnessage to Congress was quite a megillah. President Pompidou: Hamentashen are good, but they have not enough oil for France. .. .U Thant: I think Esther would have done better to work through the United Nations. Premier Kosygln: In Russia, of course, we don't need Purim. There is no anti-Semitism in Russia. We even have two synagogues in Russia. Jews are allowed full freedom to criticize Israel. Chairman of the Democratic National Committee: I understand that Jews are accustomed to sending shalach monis on Purim. May I point out that the Democratic National Committee has a. deficit of over eight million dollars and we surely would appreciate some monis. Schwartz Chairman of.the Republican National Cornmltiee: We Republicans strongly commend the position taken by Mordecai, as recorded in the Scroll of Esther. I wish all good citizens would make it a point to read the Book of Esther, where we are told that Mordecai reported a subversive plot against the - government. He was an exemplary citizen. . Hubert Humphrey: In Appalachia, two out of every ten peoittgOrto-bed on Purim ..without having had..a. hamcntnsh,. The Democratic Party considers this an intolerable situation. President Nasser; We are not deceived. It is the American government which is supplying Israel with hamentashen to fly over the Suez. . Black Panther spokesman: While it is true that the poppy seeds in hamentashen are black, white bread is used. Why can't there be hamentashen made of pumpernickel or at least'of integrated flour. Senator Fulbright: For what.Vietnam is costing us, we could give every man in America a hamentash and a half every day and a Cadillac besides. Golda Meir: GUT VOM TOV.
Paris (JTA)—Jews in the provincial c i t y of Perigueux in southwest France say they are suffering a virtual boycott because of wild rumors charging them with a variety of crimes, including kidnapping y o u n g girls. The rumors are of the same kind that erupted recently in Amiens and, a year ago, in Orleans. Perigeux is the smallest Jewish community of any of t h e medium-sized provincial cities. Jews there have apparently decided to sweat out the whispering campaign. They h a v e
not lodged official complaints with the police nor have they asked for help-from any Jewish organizations. The situation in Amiens was brought, to light by a non-Jewish shopkeeper who complained to the authorities. Tradesmen there, a majority of them nonJewish, were being accused of engaging in the white slave traffic. The same type of rumor emerged in Orleans in 1969, directed exclusively a g a i n s t Jewish shopkeepers.

New Organization Will Fight Nazism Tel Aviv (JTA)—A worldwide organization of fighters against Nazis will be set up in-accordahce"with a'declslon"adopted" at an international convention of Jewish Fighters Against Nazis and Concentration Camp Inmates held here. Stefan Grayek, chairman of the Israel Organization of Nazi Fighters, said the aims of the organization would be to battle active anti-Semitism like that in Poland and the Soviet Union, fight neo-Nazis in West Germany and other countries, locate Nazi criminals, and activate dormant underground associations to fight Arab terrorist groups which are cooperating with former Nazis. . Israeli immigration authorities estimate 1970 immigration will be 50 thousand people?
reaches a certain frequency, it creates a measure of approval for itself." Accommodation As an example of the new trend toward accommodation, Dr. Sklare cited the situation of the Jewish community in Lakeville, the fictional name of a Midwestern suburb notedfor the high level of sophistication and acculturation of its Jewish residents. A survey of a selected group of Lakeville Jews revealed that "there was scarcely a family in the group that did not have a Gentile son or daugtater-inlaw, or a nephew, niece, or cousin married to a non-Jew," Dr. Sklare reported. Faced with the possibility of a child's marrying a non-Jew, .most Lakeville Jewish parents today, "are agreed that under no circumstances m u s t they -set up a situation which win alienate them from their cnudren, not even under the provocation of an intermarriage," Dr. Sklare said. Throughout the country, increasing numbers of intermarriages and the increasing numbers of Jewish p a r e n t s who\ want a Jewish ceremony for' their intermarrying child have resulted in a dilemma for rabbis, Dr. Sklare said. "The i m p l i c a t i o n s for the Jewish future of such an accommodation to i n t e r m a r riage" he stated, are momentous."

Des Moines Woman Reports
Another View of the Arab Refugee Problem The Arab refugee problem in the Middle East is widely misunderstood because of the lack of effective communication of facts, according to Mrs. Harlan Hockenberg, chairman of the Women's Division of the 1970 C a m p a i g n of the Des Moines Jewish Welfare Federation. • Mrs. Hockenberg, on a recent trip to Israel, had the op|»rtunity to visit several refugee centers and to view the kinds of services Israel is offering to Arabs w i t h i n its borders. Mrs. Hockenberg toured the Neri J. Bloomfield Woman and Child C e n t e r in Jerusalem. There she saw a kindergarten for Arab children and classes in sewing, cooking and crafts for Arab women. The kindergarten began as an experiment without fanfare in the fall of 1967 in the Old City. Word spread among Arab families until enrollment now stands at capacity—about 25. Plans to expand the program are 1 under consideration. The head teacher Is an Israeli, but the h e l p e r s are Arabs, All are paid workers. Among the c h i 1 d r e n ' s playthings are such housekeeping aids as brooms and mops. It is hoped that the children will carry these first concepts of cleanliness home to their families. The women at the Center learn basic sewing and cooking skills, and are instructed in principles of good nutrition. An arts and crafts class for women offers the opportunity to learn to make saleable articles such as mosaics. Welfare Aid "Mrs. Hockenberg also visited the Health and Welfare Build"Irig' madntalhed"Tor "Arabs by Israel. An e s t i m a t e d 2,000 Arabs are receiving food and/ orjnoney each month from this center, which serves Jerusalem and six nearby villages. The money is issued in the form of checks, which workers hope will help the Arabs to learn to understand banking and elementary money man. agement. Mrs. Hockenberg had the opportunity to see the roll books in which the Arabs signed for welfare benefits. She observed that most s i g n a t u r e s were thumbprints, indicating widespread illiteracy. Education She was told that when the city first became an administered territory after the Six Day War, Arab children of school age were "all over the streets." Jordan has compul• sory education, but was not insisting upon enforcement. After the war, social workers from 'the Health and Welfare Center began to make friends with the youngsters on the
streets. Gradually they gained the confidence of the children and were invited into Arab homes. Through this personal contact, Arab children have been p e r s u a d e d to attend school. T o d a y , according to Mrs. Hockenberg's information, the only Arab children on the streets of Jerusalem are those who have been brought from Gaza by their fathers to beg. : Mother-Child Center The Des Moines woman also visited a mother-child center. Here prenatal care, previously unheard of, is offered to Arab women. A p h y s i c i a n and a
registered nurse are on the staff of the Center. In addition to medical care, the mothers-to-be are given instruction in baby care. Prepared baby f o o d s , such as cereals and pureed fruits and vegetables, also are being introduced to the mothers who are learning basic principles of sanitation for the first time. Most women still deliver at home, but social workers are. beginning to convince. a few of them to go to the hospitals. The clinic provides postnatal care for the mothers and periodic checkups for the babies. Mrs. Hockenberg also visited Jericho—where she saw vast, numbers of mud huts. Here Palestinian r e f u g e e s were housed by Jordan for 20 years, from the time of Israel's independence u n t i l the Six-Day War. Of 50,000 refugees who lived' there, 45,000 chose to go back to Jordan In 1967. The 5,000 who elected to remain are now employed in Israel at 15 IL (Israeli pounds) per day. . The Arabs in the administered areas have the right to vote in Israeli elections. Most do so, in spite of urgings to the contrary from Arab leaders. They are allowed to go freely back and forth and may leave at any time. The fact that most do not, Mrs. tlockenberg finds "highly significant."
AJC.Concerned Over Civil Rights Siowyp
(mioOmm The New York Board of Rabbis, joined by more than one thousand adults and children, held a "Call to Conscience" service at the Isaiah Wall of the U.N. at the time that French President Pompidou was received by IT Thant. Rabbi Harold I. Saperstein, the Board President, noted that "Pompidou has led his people away from the sacred shrine of moral principle and its commitment to supply Israel with planes desperately needed for Its defense. "I am encouraged by the report that the people of France repudiate the Mideastern policy of their government and overwhelmingly support Israel," he said.
Mrs. Meir Sees Progress .%For Reform Judaism in Israel Jerusalem (JTA)—The Central Conference of American Rabbis ended its 81st annual convention in Israel this week with expressions of solidarity with' Israel on both ideological and practical levels. Premier Golda Meir arrived at the convention soon after a n ' uproar erupted in the Knesset' when a member of the ultraOrthodox Agudat Israel spat on a Reform prayer b o o k and threw it to the floor. Mrs. Meir gave the impression of not being fully aware of what had transpired in the chamber and mentioned it only .in passing. She appealed to the Reform rabbis for patience over the status of Reform Judaism in Israel. Mrs. Meir told them, "For me, the unity of the Jewish people precedes everybody and everything else and I am will-
ing to make this compromise for its sake." Mrs. Meir also sought to convince the Reform rabbis that progress was being made in easing Orthodox rigidity. Referring to the amendment to* the Law. of Return just passed by the Knesset she said that only a short time ago they too would have considered impossible the passage of a measure which recognizes non-Orthodox conversions abroad. The Reform rabbis appeared to t a k e the spitting incident with equanimity. They also accepted with good-natured'tolerance a bitter attack on their movement by an Orthodox Israeli scholar, Rabbi Adin Steinsalz. He contended that Reform Judaism "contains all the vices of Christianity without its virtues'." .* i
