Los Angeles (JTA) — More than 15,000 demonstrators marched in downtown Los Angeles to protest" the arrest and trial of Soviet Jews. The demonstration, the candlelight walk for Soviet Jews, witnessed the largest crowd to ever partici-' pate in a Soviet Jewry rally outside of New York, according to observers. Councilman Thomas Bradley, a black City Councilman told the rally, "We must remember the six million Jews who were sent to the gas ovens 30 years ago. By the same token-We must never let it happen again." The crowd repeatedly chant-
ed "let the Jews go" as 'their voices echoed throughout the streets of downtown Los Angeles. The demonstrators all carried candies. A menorah was lit in celebration of tha eight days of Chanukah. Each candle was dedicated to a Soviet Jewish political prisoner. Police were forced to closo off the area surrounding City Hall in order to accommodate the u n p r e c e dented crowd. There was no violence. The demonstration was called in order to maximize public pressure against the Soviet Union in r e g a r d to the Leningrad trials.
AJCommittee's Israel Office Initiates Jewish-Arab Meeting
Kosygiu DemcirtcSs that Israel from Territories
> LONDON (JTA)—Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin demanded that Israel withdraw from the occupied Arab territories as stipulated by the Security Council's Resolution 242 of Nov. 22, 1967. But Kosygin stopped short of endorsing Egypt's demand that Israel submit a withdrawal time-table In, advance of peace talks as a condition for extending the present cease-fire. Kosygin spoke at a luncheon in Moscow, honoring a visiting Egyptian delegation headed by Vice President Aly Sabry ana numbering among its members Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad ^and Minister of War Mohammed Fawzi. The Soviet leader warned "Israeli extremists" to be "under no illusion" that "they will gain concessions from agreeing to a peaceful settlement in the Mideast. He warned that nobody was , beggining Israel for "peace at any price." His remarks were less vehement than those of Sabry who seemed to reflect growing Egyptian bitterness over the present : Mideast stalemate. In Washington, State Department spokesman Eobert J. McCloskey said the U.S. "would bo satisfied" if Israel returned to the Jarring peace talks by Jan. 5, the date on which United Nations Secretary General U Thant is scheduled to report to the Security Council on the progress of Mideastpeace moves. • McCloskey indicated that the government is certain that Israel will agree to resume the talks'shortly.

Quaker Report on Middle East Charged With Anti-Jewish Bias New York (JTA) — The American F r i e n d s Service Committee Was accused of "deep-seated,"; u n c o n s c i o u s . anti-Jewish bias" in its report, "Search for Peace in the Middle East." Judge Justine Wise Polier, chairman of the Committee on Israel of the: American Jewish Congress, charged in an "Open Letter to the Friends":that the : Quaker' theme of peace had '" beeri;:"obscured and distorted _ by-,-persistent notes of antiJewish prejudice.!' Ifhe result, she said, has "created an awful gulf belw!eeh: those responsible; ' for ' this'• document and Jews* everywhere." Judge Polier's s t a t e m e n t was published in the current issue, of Congress • bi-Weekly magazine, t h e . official publication of the Congress. The AJ Congress leader sits on the bench of the New York Family Court; Because of the Friends' long record of humanitarian service and claim of: impartiality, Judge folier wrote, the report .; • was' • "more.; disturbing than blatant attacks against Israel by those who have sworn to destroy it or by the position, of openly anti-Semitic groups.!' The Friends report, whichhad been widely circulated in . a number of d r a f t s and in pamphlet form for about a
year, was recently published as a Fawcelt paperback. The report called on Israel to take the first step toward peace by pledging to withdraw from the occupied territories and to institute a program of major aid to the Palestinian refugees. Judge Polier wrote that the study, "under the guise of an appeal, threatens that if American Jews put too much pressure on government officials on behalf of Israel, it may endanger 'interfaith h a r m o n y and b r o t h e r h o o d between American citizens.' . . . Do not the Friends realize that if this is the price demanded, they have reduced 'interfaith harmony and brotherhood' to a mockery, a snare and a delusion?" She observed that possibly the "most shocking evidence of a regression by Friends to historic bigotry against Jews is to be found in its repeated references to Israel striking back on a 'two eyes for an eye' basis. One must ask why .Friends should seek to give the impression that Israeli counter t e r r o r stemmed from a religious commitment to v e n g e a n c e through a false quotation from the Old Testament?"

"Can By BEN GALLOB ' The survival of the Jewish college fraternity may depend on changes in its original functions so drastic as to raise the issue of whether it would still be recognizable as a social fraternity after the changes were made. That conclusion e m e r g e d clearly from frank comments made by presidents of the four local chapters of national Jewish fraternities at the University of Texas at Austin. They were invited to discuss the fraternity system and its future by the ''University Jewish Voice," a' publication described on its masthead as "an independent j o u r n a 1 of information and
Black Jewish Visitors 'Felt Safe' in Israel Kansas City (JTA) — Two black Jews recently returned "from Israel reported that they felt much safer there than in the cities of American. "No one is afraid to go anywhere at night—the streets are perfectly safe," said Samuel Davis of this city, who visited Israel with a fellow salesman, Robert Newsome. "It was the best experience in our lives," they agreed. "We had always longed to go to the Holy Land, and this trip was a d r e a m come true." Noting that Israel was the first foreign land either of them had visited, they recommended that the Jewish State be the first stopover on any •traveling American's itinerary.The men spent their week in Israel as members of a group of 15 representing the Bible Land Pilgrimage, a local black venture headed by the Rev.

He said his fraternity chapter was "going to gq.out and rush Gentile boys too.

THE JEWISH FRKSS
Behind Prison Walls By CARL ALPERT Haifa—"Exciting Fight in Is' rael Jail" could very well have been a headline in an Israeli newspaper. The story could have told of a wild battle, with many victims— as the jailers s t o o d by and smiled. The story would have - been true, but the v i c t i m s Alpert were p a w n s , bishops and knights on the chess board. The excitement . was in the annual chess match for the nation's convicts. . Visitors who pass the quiet grim walls of the various prisons In Israel sometimes sigh unhappily, when they think of Jewish prisoners. "In Israel, too- . . " they say. Somehow, Israelis should be different, better, not subject to the same. weaknesses and flaws as human beings elsewhere. Alas, we are no better—and I hope, no worse. But what goes on behind those prison walls is in many respects quite unusual. The principal purpose of imprisonment is human rehabilitation, not a revenge taken by society against those who have transgressed. The annual chess tournament Is one such attempt to restore human dignity. In this particular match, convicts from three prisons were pitted against each other for the national championship. First place was captured by a wife murderer. He was closely followed by a young convict in for fraud.

P r e p a r a t i o n for a Bible knowledge contest requires lots of time, and that is one thing these men have plenty of. They were not all Jews.

The scene was tense as the questions were posed, one after the other. The contestants were all appropriately dressed in white shirts for the occasion.

, QUESTION: Why do some traditions insist on using linin threads when sewing the shrouds? ' / ., ANSWER: It is claimed by some that this is done because of the symbolic significance of the flax from which linen is derived. Flax usually grows during the season of the early rains and is thus symbolic of the spring of life or the tree of life which sprouts early. Furthermore, the durability of flax compared to other threads indicates the immortality of the soul.

QUESTION: Why is it required to wash the corpse as a ritual before burial? ANSWER: Some medieval sources claim that this is dona, because the body comes to face its Maker—the great Almighty Creator, after it is buried. Before advancing into the realm of holiness it is required for one to be ritually pure, a condition which is brought about by ritual cleansing with water. Some claim that the act of cleansing the body with water in a ritualistic manner is symbolic of birth,'which took place with the embryo encased in water. Death, is thus regarded as being reborn into another existence. Water is likewise regarded as one of the first elements of creation. Water is also the symbol of life. Purifying the body with water denies the possibility of absolute death and leaves room, for the belief In another life.

In Drug Use Rise Tel Aviv (ZINS)—Local press reports "call attention to the growing use of narcotics and the rising rate of venereal disease. Both are attributable to the influx of hippies and beatniks to Israel. The authorities —with growing alarm—are vigorously combating t h e s e destructive forces. The issue was also raised at a conference of phys i ci a n s where Professor Y. Katznellenbogen revealed that there has been a significant rise in the rate of venereal disease as c o m p a r e d with 1967, even, though the condition is not as critical as in the USA or East Asia. • State authorities and school officials have adopted a uniform policy with respect to those who use or peddle narcotics. The" offense calls for i m m e d i a t e expulsion from school and, in the case of foreign students, an o r d e r to leave the country.

The 83-year-old Israeli statesman is said to have given the most candid replies on a whole series of questions, going into depth on many events and issues which have historic significance for future generations. It is assumed that Ben-Gurion has expressed himelf freely on many personalities that figure in his political odyssey, and who may even now occupy prominent positions on Israel's political scene. The television reporters who conducted the interview, are guarding his confidence and will not disclose any details at this time.

London (JTA) — Lord Caradon, former chief British delegate to the UN in the Labor government, strongly scored Israel in a speech to the UN Students Association at Oxford. Lord Caradon spoke of "the barbed wire of the Zionist state." He went on to say: "The Palestinians turned to violence and perhaps revenge. I doubt if any of us would have done differently . . . If the Israelis intend to hold on to Jerusalem by force, then there is no hope for peace." Foreign Office sources indicated they are embarrassed by Lord Car a don's anti-Israel speeches, e s p e c i a l l y when there is a chance of Israel's returning to the Jarring talks. They also expressed surprise that one of the drafters of and canvassers for Security" Council Resolution 242 has now apparently embarked on a campaign to discredit it.
Jewish Groups Protest Stamp ' New York (JTA) -"This year's Christmas stamp issued by the Post Office has been objected to by major national Jewish religious and civic organizations as unconstitutional and as bad public policy. The stamp is a reproduction of the painting, "The Nativity;" by Lorenzo Lotto. Through the Joint Advisory Committee of the Synagogue "Council of America and the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory C o u n c i l , the Jewish, organizations wrote to Postmaster General Winton • M. Blount, repeating the view previously expressed to former Postmaster Generals that the issuance of stamps with a religious theme "is unconstitutional as a matter of law and unwise as a matter of policy." The issuance of "Christmas stamps," they contended, has the effect of placing the "power, prestige and financial support of government behind a particular religious b e l i e f," which is prohibited by the! Religion C l a u s e of the1 First Amendment to the Constitution. Even if other stamps in the same denomination are available, giving purchasers a choice, this prohibition is violated, they maintained.

These are the promises you the people of Israel You promised a child you would build more secondary schools in Israel so that he wouldn't have to travel mine-infested roads to attend classes in a neighboring settlement. You promised hot lunches to an undernourished school child whose parents' income is insufficient to provide him with a healthy, adequate diet. You also promised to provide nursery facilities for younger children whose mothers must work to supplement their family incomes. You promised to help provide an elderly Israeli with the special welfare services that would give him a new lease on life. And more than 40,000 older citizens rely on you for special old-age grants, homes, and special medical care. You promised to help a family of penniless Jews who have just escaped the persecution of Eastern Europe and came to Israel with all they possess wrapped up in a few pitiful parcels. And there are thousands more arriving each month who will be forced to leave everything they have behind them so they can come to Israel to live a new life. You promised to build a home in a development town for a Jewish family which was never able to call any place home until you helped bring them home to Israel. And of the more than 1,300,000 immigrants you have helped the United Jewish Appeal bring to Israel, there are more than 200,000 who are still in desperate need of adequate housing. You promised to nurse a sick newcomer back to health by providing the care and treatment he was denied before he came to Israel And the task is made difficult because of the acute shortage of hospital beds and trained doctors and nurses.
You promised to teach a skilled immigrant to read and write Hebrew so he can make productive use of his professional and technical knowledge. And there are thousands of highly qualified immigrants who will be able to help themselves but must first learn their new language. You promised someone who is unskilled and illiterate the training he needs to adjust to his new country and lead a useful life. And your promise means hope to thousands awaiting the training they need to enter the mainstream of Israeli life. You promised to feed a hungry child in another land who never can be sure of his next m e a l . . . because he lives in a country where all Jews are victimized. And there are more than 36,000 Jews throughout Europe and North Africa whose plight will become even more desperate unless you keep your promise to provide them with monthly food distributions through UJA-supported programs. You promised to rescue more than 50,000 Jews from the poverty and persecution of Eastern Europe, North Africa andjhe Middle East and to lead them to new lives in Israeland other havens of security. And your promise has given hope to hundreds of thousands of tormented, oppressed Jews throughout the world. These are the promises you made to the struggling people of Israel and to oppressed Jews throughout the world. Their future depends on you. And the future is now. Meet your UJA pledge now, and keep the vital promises you made. Reinforce it with still another pledge and renew the hopes of all, those whose future depends on you.

ITS A FACT By YITTA HAIJJERSTAM Orthodox congregations in small towns are facing an unusual and alarming new problem—their rabbis are abandoning their pulpits. "Rabbis never had it so good financially, but never had it so bad emotionally, e x p l a i n e d Walter Dukat, Director of the Federation Vocational Guidance Service. In a study conducted by the Community Service Department of Yeshiva University, one thousand ordained rabbis were studied. Research disclosed that out of these, only 35 per cent were now holding pulpits, and that 2t per cent had joined the business world. The other 44 per cent had either entered the social services and related fields, became key leaders in community organizations, or turned to teaching. Mr. Dukat explained that the Orthodox rabbinic dropout was . mainly the result of dissatisfaction with the laity, who strongly resist a maximal Jewish life. This is in sharp contrast to other clerics^ who leave their ministry because of discontent with the practices and dogmas of their church. Many small town rabbis, said Mr. Dukas, are gripped by feelings of hopelessness and despair at their seeming inability to halt the increasing trend of assimilation. "Although salaries for rabbis outside of New York City start at $10,000 upwards, and compare favorably with other professional salaries," said Mr. Dukat, "the emotional burden is so great, that despite financial rewards, rabbis are simply leaving their pulpits." "Then, too," continued Mr. Dukat, "the rabbinic position is physically, as well as emotionally, taxing. A rabbi serving a
small town congregation is required to be more than just a spiritual leader. lie must be an able fund-raiser, skillful public-relations man, competent supervisor of the Sunday School, fabulous speaker and outstanding civic leader." All these diversified duties tax the rabbi greatly. Some rabbis have left their pulpits simply because they never approached the rabbinate from a realistic point of, view. They accepted positions in congregations which had no " m i k v a h " (ritualarium) or "mechitzah" (dividing curtain between the sexes), believing wjth passionate idealism that they would soon be instituting great changes in the synagogue, and that they • would bring back.to the Orthodox fold those who had "strayed from the path of Torah." Much to their surprise and sorrow, however, they soon found that their congregants did not share their religious fervor, and were unwilling to accept Orthodox Judaism in its entirety, Mr. Dukat related Coupled with their feelings of disappointment and despair, are also the pangs of loneliness they experience, while living in small towns. Many times, they find themselves placed in "i v o r y towers," where they are isolated from and unable to communicate with members of the community, or their own congregations. Rarely can they find people with whom to share their religious outlooks and practices. Rabbis may also become disgusted noted Mr. Dukas, at the constant invasion of their privacy by an endless' stream of neighbors and congregants to their homes. Their doors must be kept "open" at all times. In addition, the position of a

The Librarian Recommends THE RISE OF AMERICAN JEWISH LITERATURE, (Edited by Charles Angoff and Meyer Levin) Wo now have an American Jewish literature. The last fifty years have seen the creation of an important body of work, a good deal of it of high critical as well as of popular acclaim. There are those who believe that this literature is, like regional writing or ethnic writing, simply part of the American total. Others believe this work links up with the Jewish literary
tradition, particularly of Eastern Europe. Tills is the very first anthology of selections from important novels of 22 major Jewish writers in the United States. It is a dazzling mosaic of American Jewish fiction, including works by Abraham Cahan, Budd Schulberg, Daniel Fuchs, Jerome Weidman, Norman Mailer, Irwin Shaw, Herman Wouk, Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth, Herbert Gold, Saul Bellow, Chaim Potok and many others. •.
small town rabbi tends to be a 24-hour one. Unlike other professionals or rabbis living in ' large metropolises, his job has no set hours. Another complaint voiced by unhappy rabbis to Mr. Dukat is their feeling of "beholdeness"' to their "^alabatim." They are totally dependent upon • synagogue members for income, salary increases, and other material b e n e f i t s . A feeling of constantly b e i n g "watched" pursues them, and they do not feel free to differ on matters of opinion with those who iiold the "purse-strings." . And so, because of either one or all of the reasons described above, rabbis are abandoning their pulpits. .

STUDENT CENTER JERUSALEM (JTA)—Ramot Shapira, a center for religious students from abroad near Jerusalem, will open its doors next March 1, it was announced by Rabbi Jacob Vainstein, chairman of the Jerusalem Religious Council, who is sponsoring the project. He said the project, to cost $1.4 million, is about half complete. Construction so far has cost $700,000, most of it contributed by Orthodox Jews in the United States and Canada.
"had no right to interfere with the home lives or private businesses of officers and trustees" • of the Federation. The Justice accepted the basic contention of the Federation that the JDL had illegally disrupted several Federation fund-raising activities and picketed private businesses of Federation officials. The specifics of Justice Greenfield's order will be spelled out later in legal papers scheduled to be submitted to him by the JDL and the Federation. The jurist declared, in his ruling, that there were indications that the JDL had "transcended the bounds of permissible conduct and threatens to do so in the future." He said that the court "cannot be drawn into the controversy as to what is a proper purpose for Jewish philanthropy." Justice Greenfield also held that "the right to. disagree freely does not encompass the right to impose one's will on others through illegal coercion or disruption."
HOMOSEXUAL LAW JERUSALEM (JTA)-Justice Minister Yaacov Shimshon Shapiro told the Knesset that he favored a bill to rescind the law ^gainst homosexual acts between consenting male adults. The bill was introduced by Uri Avnery, of the Haolem Hazeh faction. /~^ Shapiro noted that the easting law Is never enforced but as long as it is on the books it instills a "nagging fear of prosecution" on the part of male homosexuals who are often afraid to call the police when they are victims of certain offenses. The Justice Minister pointed out further that female homosexual acts are not forbidden by law.
IRAQI JEWS TEL AVIV (JTA)—Tourists arriving here from Arab countries have reported ~that the situation of the remaining Jews there is as bad as ever. An American visitor recently in Iraq said the economic position of Iraqi Jews has deteriorated and they face physical persecution. According to a tourist from Egypt, there are still Jews under detention in that country.
U.S. AID WASHINGTON (JTA)—The House approved and sent to the Senate the administration's supplementary aid package, which includes $500 million for Israel, $30 million for Jordan and $5 million for Lebanon. The Senate, which will consider the package a.fter Christmas, is also expected to endorse it. The House action followed the approval of legislation authorizing the aid program, which passed the Senate by 41 to 20 and the House by voice vote. The authorizing legislation had been delayed for several months over the question of restrictions on American troops in Cambodia. .
DRAFTING GIRLS JERUSALEM (JTA)—A plan to draft Orthodox girls of military age for auxiliary health services, was announced by Health Minister Victor Shemtov in the Knesset. Orthodox girls are exempted from military service and related duties if they object to it on religious grounds. A similar plan offered 15 years ago prompted an outcry from the religious establishment and was shelved. Labor Minister Yosef Almogi has disclosed plans to recruit 42,00011th and 12th grade high school pupils to replace industrial workers if Israel becomes involved in an all-out Middle East war. Almogi said that his plan would allow some 2,300 industrial enterprises to continue to function in a natinal emergency.
