Israel Reported Willing To Withdraw Borders JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel is planning to inform Egypt shortly that It is fully ready to withdraw to "secure and agreed borders" within the framework of a peace settlement. A new note is being drafted by Premier Golda Meir and Foreign Minister .Abba Eban which contains the word "withdrawal." The note will be given to United Nations mediator Gunnar V. Jarring to be conveyed to Cairo. It will represent Israel's reply to the latest Egyptian note and is intended to refute Cairo's contention that Israel refuses to accept the principle of withdrawal and is bent on ex-, panslon. The Cabinet authorized the Premier and the Foreign Minister to draft the reply jointly. The new Israeli note will also' seek clarification on several points. One of them will be whether Egypt's offer of freedom of navigation through international waterways refers specifically to Israeli shipping.or to "all states in the region," a formula with which Israel has had poor experience in the past. The Government will also insist on "quiet diplomacy," meaning no leaks to news media of the content of notes exchanged in the Jarring talks.

Federation Pays Tribute To Memory of PayI Veret Omaha—A moment of silent prayer in memory of Paul Veret,, former Executive Director of the Omaha Jewish Federation, closed the January 25th meeting of the Federation Board. The Monday -meeting was the first meeting of the group since the death of Mr. Veret on December 8, 1970. Contributions- to the Paul Veret Memorial Fund are being accepted at the Jewish Community Center. The board, in consultation with Mrs. Veret, will determine at a later date where the memorial fund gifts will be used. A resolution in the name of the Executive Committee of the Federation was adopted at the meeting and forwarded to Mrs. Veret. Text of the message follows: • * » At the meeting of the Executive Board of the Jewish Federation on January 25, 1971 all who were present felt that we still stood in the darkness cast upon us by l i e death of Paul Veret. Gratefully we reflected upon the unmistakable presence of his spirit among us, and we know that with the passing of time our memory of his complete devotion to us will dispel the shadow •with the light of new purposes and new goals which he would wish for us.
• As we are comforted by the treasure which lie gave us by his appreciation for Die traditions of the Jewish people, his consummate love of Jewish literature and lore, his enthusiasm for every artistic creation of our people, so do we pray especially for those of his family whose loss is infinitely greater than ours and for whom we hope special memories will be doubly comforting. We express herein to Paul's wife and to Paul's children and grandchildren our conviction that their loved one's life continues vibrantly among us and will be a continuing influence to bind us ever closer to the high ideals, the service and love for the people of Israel that he so beautifully exemplified. He was indeed "a righteous man, wholehearted in his generation". These words are, upon unanimous desire of the Executive Board, sent to you, Paul^Veret's family, with the hope that you will believe these words to be the sentiment of all of us who were privileged and blessed to know him and to work with him. May there be comfort and inspiration from your memories of Paul Veret, who loved us and whom we loved.

El Biari said he was recruited last year by Abu Yusef, the E l Fatah commander of the Sarafand camp in the Sidon district. "They bought me for a paltry 100 Lebanese pounds," he complained. He said he thought the money was a gift because his wire was about to give birth at the time. But he ttas. then ordered to enlist in El Fatah, given a uniform and trained to use -a Kalachinkof automatic rifle. El Giari burst into tears when he was asked if he wanted to send greetings to'his wife and his two young sons, Hassan and Samir. He said "Tell them I am well and that I have asked the Israeli authorities to have mercy on me and send me back to them soon.". The prisoners spoke bitterly, of Abu Yusef wha, he said, 'drove around in 'a chauffeurcd limousine but "to the best of my knowledge never participated in any action." He said the El Fatah base attacked by Israeli commandos operated with the full knowledge of Lebanese authorities.

Omaha Synagogue Leaders Study Resolution joint meeting of the Omaha Synagogue leader? to consider a similar proposal. The C o l u m b u s resolution reads as follows: "We, the spiritual leadership of Columbus, Ohio, having reviewed the crisis with which the State of I s r a e l and the Jewish people is confronted, in 1971 do affirm: 1. That our destiny as American Jews is inextricably linked to the fate of World Jewry: 2. That our attachment to the
Omaha—For the first time In the recent history of the Omaha Jewish community, a joint meeting was held .. SundW, January 24, for the boards ami rabbis of Beth Israel Synagogue, Beth El Synagogue and Temple Israel. The meeting at Temple Israel was called by Rabbi Isaac Nadoff, president of the Omaha Synagogue Council. A .r_esolution, adopted recent-, ly by the Columbus, Ohio Board of Rabbis, prompted the

That membership in the synagogue is a privilege which bears with it a heightened sense of responsibility toward our peopjre and our community.

JDL New York (JTA)—A former Soviet Jew brought to the United Stales by the Jewish Defense League to speak in its behalf said in a television interview t h a t "we must increase the pressure" on the Kremlin to free Soviet Jews. Dov Sperling, an Israeli who is not a member of the JDL, said also that it would be "helpful" if President Nixon spoke out . forcefully on the question of Soviet anti-Semitism. He added that while "it would be beautiful" to carry out antiSoviet demonstrations without violence, "we can't." Sperling appeared on WNEWTVs "David Susskind Show"
Israel Defense Cost PIDS $4 Million Daily Tel Aviv (ZINZ) — Israel's security costs have zoomed and are 400 per cent higher than before the 6-Day War of June 1967, according to wellinformed sources. Israel now . spends on her defense an average of IL. 15 million daily— an actual outlay of approximately IL. 5 billion annually. One Phantom jet costs more than 5 million dollars, whereas the price of a French Mirage was "only" 2 million dollars. The price tag on a modern tank is $350,000.
KUON-TV, Channel 12 in Lincoln, will carry the Susskind Show on JDL, February 20. KDIN-TV in Des Moines is scheduled to carry the program on March 14. in the first half of a two-hour consideration of the JDL and the problems of Soviet Jewry. Joining him on the panel were Rabbi Meir Kahane, JDL chairman; Bertram- Zweibon, JDL general counsel, and Joshua Joffe, of the JDL youth movement. The interview was taped the evening before Jan. 19, the day Rabbi Kahane agreed to halt temporarily the JDL's harassment of Soviet personnel. Sperling was one of eight former Soviet Jews ndw living in Israel who last week cabled American Jewish leaders protesting their denunciations of the JDL and c a l l i n g the League's activities "most effective." V In the TV interview, Rabbi Kahane said JDL opponents should not be "so uptight about , violence." While "we don't counsel violence," he said, his group would do "whatever has to be done" to aid Soviet Jewry, and "that includes a multitude of sins." Asked by Susskind whether JDL, which has applauded the recent smashing of the windows of the - Soviet Aeroflot-Intourist building, was

actually responsible for it, Rabbi Kahane. replied: "Heaven forbid!" He rejected the label 'of rightist suggested by Susskind, and denied a New York Times item that he had worked for the House Committee on Un-American Activities, In the second hour of the program, four "Establishment" Jewish leaders condemned the JDL for "counter-productive" tactics. Morris Abram, former president of Brandeis University, declared, "You cannot force the S o v i e t Union to change its miserable policy by the use of sporadic violence in the United States." He said "Jews cannot prosper under a system of lawlessness" and called Rabbi Kahane a "childish" man who e n g a g e d in "mad antics." Rabbi Marc H. Tannenbaum, interreligious affairs, director of tho American Jewish Committee, said the JDL's "effectiveness is virtually inconsequential" within the American Jewish community. " R a b b i Kahane," he said, "was actually riding on the coattails of the established Jewish organizations." • Rabbi Arthur Schneier of Park East Synagogue reported that on his several visits to the USSR as president of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, "hundreds" of Soviet Jews had said to him of Rabbi Kahane that "whatever he is doing is harmful."
•—,-••
Arnold Forster, g e n e r a l counsel to the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'ritb, stated that the JDLers w e r e "terrorists" like the Black Panthers and that the Kremlin was "using the Jewish Defense League as an excuse" for represion. The four Jewish leaders agreed that "world opin. ion" sparked by the established Jewish organizations had effected the commutation of the two Leningrad death sentences, not JDL actions.
cussion on the proposal, and agreed that the matter should be given further consideration. A committee, composed of the tiiree rabbis and three representatives from each synagogue, was directed to give further study to the proposal. Any resolution coming from that committe, will be subject to the approval of the three synagogue boards. It was 'expected, that the results of the committee study and subsequent action of tlie synagogue boards would be completed before the 1971 UJA campaign in Omaha begins. Columbus Action As reported in the Ohio Jewish Chronicle, the action of the Columbus Board of Rabbis was taken after serious consideration of the implications for Israel and world Jewry of the current situation in Israel. "It was their considered opinion," the Chronicle reports, "that the privilege, honor and distinction of being a Jew is
something for. which one must pay. With Jewish identity, they reasoned, comes Jewish responsibility and every synagogue affiliated Jew, who voluntarily identifies with his people, lias a primary responsibility for financial commitment to Jewish survival." According to the Chronicle story, to . date more than 20 R e f o r m , Conservative and O r t h o d o x Congregations in various U. S. eities have passed similar resolutions.

FttESS
Name By MIKE RIPS It is not the purpose of this column to concentrate only on those issues that are related to Jews. To do this would be limiting ourselves in a world that is quite diverse and I think that only the harms of limitation would ensue. One of the growing concerns for the whole of the nation, however, is the recent militancy of the Jewish Defense League. It is this thought that prompted me to pose the following question to three different people within our community. Do you believe that the recent militancy pursued by the Jewish Defense League has benefited the plight of ttic Soviet Jew. * * * Larry Denenberg, junior: No, I definitely find the JDL's action disadvantageous. The only way that we as American Jews could possibly aid our fellow Jews in the Soviet Union is through world opinion. The JDL's actions have obviously not brought world opinion against the Soviet Government. Instead these actions have had an adverse effect upon the Jews of the world." As has happened in the past and is presently happening when one segment of a group becomes militant, the image of the whole group suffers. The Black Panthers stand as a modern illustration of this point. As to physical harrassment of Soviet officials, I personally feel that the Soviet Government is not going to be intimidated by such
violence and it again can only serve to foster the prejudices that are already well embedded in our society. •
*
*
*
Janet Gendler, junior: : definitely not. What we are seeing I believe1 is that because the tactics of the Jewish Defense League are over-dramatized, the issue with which this organization is striving to deal is simply lost. It certainly has not brought -about changes in the conditions that plague the Soviet Jew. Even though a benefit may be derived in sensitizing Americans toward the cause, these violent actions run the risk of bringing on further repressive acts toward the Russian Jews. •
•
•
*
Peter Newman, senior: The militant actions are both harmful and Jn some ways beneficial. From the benefits that have occurred from these actions, the most important one is that these actions have focused world attention on the plight of the Soviet Jew. In an image-conscious world the Soviet Union is just as concerned about its image as any other nation. The JDL's actions have brought press coverage upon this conflict v that normally wouldn't exist. As to the negative overtones I would have to say that though the ends may be good, the means that are used to achieve those ends may create certain ends that are indeed undesirable. Alienation is one such example.
Israel's African "Friends' not always been friends in the General Assembly. For example, in one of the last critical votes at the U.N., antagonistic to Israeli, and calling on her to return to the Jarring talks at once without conditions, 24 African states (not counting the Moslem s t a t e s ) voted against us, 6 abstained and only 2 voted with Israel. Political experts in Jerusalem have been pondering the reasons. There are two. For one thing, on a continent which has very recently freed itself from the occupation of colonial powers, the Arabs have succeeded in identifying Israel as a colonial power. It conquers and holds the territory of Its neighbors. It refuses to recognize the national identity of the Palestinian people. Israel has failed to rebut these charges adequately. The second reason is more prosaic. It is a matter of ordinary political horse-trading. You and your bloc vote for us in our difficulties, and we will vote for you when your pr$*' lems come up. The political reality is that Israel has no bloc behind it. It casts a lone, single vote. Those who engage in international relations must be realists.

By CARL ALPERT Haifa—Israel has in recent years spent millions of dollars providing aid and guidance to many of the new, developing states of Africa. Thousands of men and women from those countries have been given specialized training, either at home, or in institutions in I s r a e l . Many hundreds of Israeli e x p e r t s have been sent to these counAlpert , tries to teach, train, demonstrate, guide and help in national development. It had never been expected that by such help we would be "buying" political support. Indeed, Israel always made it clear that there were no strings to its aid program, and this was one of the aspects which made Israel's program, more welcome in Africa than that of some other, much bigger states. Yet v/6 can not refrain from somewhat mournful contemplation of the sad record at the • U n i t e d Nations. "Those who have been friends at home have

It is true that-despite the negative votes at the U.N., a number of the African states continue to maintain cordial relations with Israel. Many here maintain that had it not been for Israel's overseas aid program the situation vis-a-vis Africa would have been considerably worse. Furthermore, Israel enjoys valuable commercial relations even with .states which vote against us. This latter fact has caused some concern to the Arabs. Under the circumstances, obviously, Israel can not abruptly cut off its relations with the states which have hurt us. We' can express regrets, and try harder to explain our situation, but to turn our backs on them completely would lead to the kind of international isolation for Israel which is exactly jvhat the Arabs are trying to achieve. There is little doubt that the Arabs will sharpen and intensify their offensive against Israel •at the U.N., and there is every possibility that the situation will get worse. We may find some of our African friends supporting resolutions to impose sanctions on Israel, or even to expel Israel from the U.N. . And as a footnote 1 must add that the-general attitude here toward the U.N. is one of growing pessimism if we consider that with the Soviet bloc, the Arab bloc, the new African bloc,, and some additional miscellaneous states which are anti-Israel, there are now 4!f countries at the U.N. which will automatically endorse any. resolution against Israel. It is no consolation to know that such a situation is really, an indictment of the U.N., rather than of Israel. It is we who suffer the consequences.
The Jewish Press Published weekly on Friday by Jewish Federation of Omaha. Charles Monasee, Press Committee Chairman Mrs. Robert Gerelick, Editor
Usually I have no difficulty in determining where I stand on controversial issues. My positions are not always based on facts; frequently I rely purely on emotions. But rarely do I find myself without an opinion on any given subject— and I'm not easily swayed once my mind is made up. The Jewish Defense League is a notable exception. When the antics of the League began making the headlines, I was appalled. I detest violence of any kind, and in no way could I identify with this self-styled vigilante group. I nodded my head in agreement as responsible voices within the Jewish establishment condemned the JDL tactics. But even while I was nodding, I was aware of mixed feelings. The Jewish Defense League was born in the void created by the ineffectiveness of responsible Jewish Organizations who did little more than issue wordy statements of protest,
5 YEARS AGO Gary Gerber celebrated his Bar Mitzvah . . . D r . A b e Greenberg was re-elected B'nai B'rith trustee to the National Jewish Hospital in Denver, Colorado. JO YEARS AGO Mark Romanik celebrated his Bar Mitzvah. 15 YEARS AGO Robert Lohrman -celebrated his Bar Mitzvah. 20 YEARS AGO Marilyn Wintroub and Norman Pred were married . . . Mr. and Mrs. J ^ L e r n c r announced 'the birth of a son, Richard Allen. 25 YEARS AGO Morris Jacobs was re-elected president of the Omaha Jewish Federation v . . Mr. and Mrs. Ted Sanford announced the birth of a son, Ted Jr. 30 YEARS AGO
Their methods are to be deplored, but I am disturbed by the over-reaction DJI- the part of the establishment to the antics of the JDL. In recent weeks tho mimeograph machines of all the major Jewish Organizations have been working overtime, producing reams of statements condemning the violent activities of the JDL. The issue has become so clouded that it is difficult to know who is the real villian. It suddenly appears that the SoViet Union has ceased to be the enemy, and the target for our protests arc Rabbi Kahane and his Jewish Defense League. I don't know which is more effective in easing the plight of Soviet Jewry_—the polite protests of the 'Jewish establishment or the violent tactics of the JDL. But I can't help feeling that nothing is to be gained if the American Jewish community continues to devote so much energy to the philosophical split between the JDL and the establishment. Soviet Jewry is our concern. If the JDL breaks the law, it is the responsibility of American law enforcement agencies to deal with the lawbreakers. Tho rest of us should be able to go about our business without feeling obligated to curtail JDL activities, or being so loquacious in disassociating ourselves from this small group. The real issue is the right of 3,0p0,000 Soviet Jews so escape the cultural genocide they face. It's time we stopped the quarreling among ourselves and got back to business.

while Jews in the ghetto areas of Brooklyn lived in fear of physical attacks from their neighbors. Into the void stepped Mcir Kahane and his followers who provided needed protection for old Jews as they walked the sidewalks of Brooklyn. When the plight of Soviet Jewry came on the scene, the JDL was eager to get into the act. To be sure, Kahane and the JDL soon overstepped their bounds, and by moving outside the law, lost any hope of support from the responsible Jewish community." '

JDL Defectors Organize Jewish Survival Legion New York (JTA)—Disturbed by tbe militant t a c ti c s employed by tbe Jewish Defense League, several thousand persons have formed a new organization called the "Jewish Survival Legion" which is dedicated to solving many of the problems the JDL is attacking but "within the framework ofthe law," according to Allan Mallenbaum, one of the founders of the JSL. Mallenbaum, who left the Jewish Defense League a few months ago after serving as its administrative director, said that bis organization already has several thousand members and would try to solve four main problems: the protection of Jewish life and property in urban areas; aiding oppressed Jews in Russia; supporting Israel; and reversing the identity
crisis facing alienated Jewish youtb. Mallenbaum said that JSL is dedicated to the use of the "least forceful methods necessary to accomplish each of its objectives." This means, he explained, acting within the established framework of the government and using political, legal, • economic, educational and defensive measures according to the requirements of each situation and "in cooperation with both Jewish and nonJewish groups." Noting that seven New England chapters of the JDL and their chairmen had resigned from the national organization along with thTir New England coordinator, Rabbi Marvin Antelman, Mallenbaum predicted that more resignations could be expected. "Several people who
have held high positions in the JDL have come to us and expressed dissatisfactions w i t h the organization," said the JSL founder," He asserted however, that his group would not make an attempt to undermine tbe JDL's influence. "We feel that they have the right to exist and to pursue their own particular means of solving the problems." Continuing, he noted: "The' Jewish Survival L e g i o n will give a voice to the n e w l y arounsed activist Jew. who is dissatisfied with the apathy of oldline Jewish organizations but who cannot accept the necessity for bombings or terrorism. We are offering a realistic and responsible alternative to do nothing and over reactive groups."
World Miews Briefs action was handled by the National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs (COLPA). The brief requesting the Supreme Court to review the lower court's decision was written by Nathan Lewin, of Washington, D.C., vice president of COLPA. Lewin will present a brief on the merits of the case before the Supreme Court. According to Lewin, the Dewey case has important implications for all Sabbath observers including many Orthodox Jews.
Israelis Get Lebanese Cake TEL AVIV (JTA)—An Israeli patrol on the Lebanese border received a large cake and thanks from Lebanese villagers "for. keeping the terrorists away from our homes." The cake was brought to the soldiers by a Lebanese woman who told-them, in Hebrew, "This Is a token of the villagers to the Israeli Army that keeps tbe terrorists away." She said the villagers had armed themselves against the marauders. She explained that she spoke Hebrew because she was born in Acre and worked on Israeli farms. Since the 1948 war she has lived in Lebanon with her family. French Policy Reaffirmed PARIS (JTA)—President Georges Pompidou asserted this week that France's Middle East policy is constant and has not changed and is based on two principles; Israeli's right to existence behind safe, secure borders and Israel's withdrawal from all of the captured Arab areas. < Pompidou said that "those who think that they can discern a change in France's policy have, either through passion or through lack of attention, failed to listen carefully." The French leader-added that any settlement must be agreed to by Israel, Egypt and Jordan and that the Palestinians must be granted self-determination at the "proper time." -
Jewish-Arab Dialogue LONDON (JTA)—The need for a JewishArab dialogue was stressed here by Mrs. Nina Di-Nur, a survivor of Auschwitz and a noted public figure in Israel Mrs.Di-Nur, who addressed a gathering of the Ariglo-Israel Association, appealed for the establishment of a British movement to encourage Arab-Jewish cooperation. She said that in'her campaign-for the establishment of such movements in various countries, she had encouraging support from Jews and Arabs as well as others. Mrs. Di-Nur added that on the campus of Haifa University there was now an institute for the study of Jewish Arab relations which is headed by noted scientists and experts in the behavioral sciences. This institute had been designed to prepare source material in order to help.those engaged in the actual work of reapproachment between the two peoples, she said.
Supreme Court Case WASHINGTON (JTA) - The United States Supreme Court agreed this week to review the question of whether an employer can dismiss a worker who refuses to work on a certain day or at certain times because to do so would violate bis religious practices. The case under review, Dewey vs. Reynolds Metal Co., involves Robert Dewey, a member of a Protestant sect, who was fired because he refused to work on Sunday. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Detroit, Mich., had ruled against Dewey a resident of Grand Rapids. His court
Letters From Prisoner TEL AVIV (JTA)—Shmuel Rosenwasser, a 50-year-old watchman from Metullah, on Israel's /lorthern border who was kidnapped by terrorists on Dec. 31, 1969, is still in captivity. This week five letters he wrote were delivered to his family which now lives in a village near Haifa. The letters were delivered by a representative of Israel's Red Magan David which received them through the International Red Cross. There was no explanation of why the five letters, written on different dates, were delivered at the same time.

ISRAEL PILGRIMAGE 1971 We are happy to announce that the Summer of 1971 will inaugurate the first Israel Pilgrimage sponsored by our, own communtiy.

Congressional Action Urged to Curb Synagogue Vandalism Lakewood, N. J.

steps," the spiritual leader of Young Israel of Windsor Park, Bayside, N.Y. declared that it was "obvious" that local police and Security forces were unable to "cope" with the problem without federal cooperation. Rabbi Bernstein attributed the vandalism to the "confusion of young minds who justify their destructiveness by moral rationalizataion t h a t they are fighting an unjust establishment and that houses of worship are regarded as being part- of that establishment." Rabbi Bernstein added that "Those who seek to destroy have no blueprint for building," as "their's is the psychology of anarchy and nihilism" and they desire to destroy us and bring about a system of autocratic government, whether of the right or of the left."

Jewish Sfudenfs Protest Northwestern U. Schedule EVANSTON, 111. (JTA)-An ad hoc Committee of Jewish Students at Northwestern University urged University president Robert Strotz to change the schedule for New Student Week next September because it conflicts with the start of the Jewish High Holy Days. The appeal asked for a decision within one week, declaring that "otherwise we will be forced to take action as so, many other Jews have done recently, to end the discrimination which faces us." The appeal was made in a letter which noted that a similar situation occurred two years ago and that while protests from Jewish students failed to obtain a change in the scheduling the University "issued a verbal promise that it would take the Jewish calendar into account when drawing up an academic calendar in the future." The- letter -•—«e>—m~~**—*J>

Shortly afterwards he began the amazing studies that extended over, a dozen years and culminated in the award to him of the world's highest honors in his Geld. His wife was Sally Taub before they were married in 1938. Like the scientist, she was born and raised in New York and graduated from Hunter College in 1942. Mrs. Axelrod at present is a s e c o n d grade teacher in the Kent Mill Public School in Maryland's Montgomery County which borders on the District of Columbia. The Axelrods have two sons. Paul, 25, is studying .anthropology at the University of North Carolina's g r a d u a t e school at Chapel Hill. Fred, 21, is an undergraduate in forestry at the University of Minnesota. He spent the summer parachuting from the skies in Alaska, Wyoming and Washington, to help fight forest fires. "Imagine," Dr. Axelrod said, "a Jewish boy a forester." Dr. Axelrod heard he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in the office of his friend Dr. Ben A. Williamowsky, a dentist. While his mouth was stuffed with instruments and cotton, an urgent phone message came to him informing him that he had won the prize. An indication ~bl Dr. Axelrod's family feeling is that while congratulatory calls and messages were pouring in on him from all over, among his first thoughts were to inform his aged parents and to remember his sisters in New YorkMrs. Pearl Denmark and Mrs. Gertrude Bnxlsky.

Psychiatrists Denounce New Arms Race Generation Gap Cliches New York—The concept of "teen-age" and the so-called generation gap are products of a "semantic plot—a conspiracy ; involving sleight of words and artificial labeling and a kind of segregation," according to an article by Richard Rabkin, social-psychiatrist and family 'therapist, in the January issue of KEEPING POSTED. In the same issue, another psychiatrist expresses alarm at the effects of the "do-yourthing". philosophy, which he sees as the credo of children as early as the fourth, grade. Dr. J. Thomas Ungerleider, M.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at the Neuropsychiatric Institute of the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences in Los Angeles, writes: "In talking with even fourth and fifth grade youngsters, I find myself appalled to learn that they have already embraced their 'do-your-own-thing' philosophy.
"Jewish Hippies on Orthodox Kibbutz
• When asked what they would do if one of their friends or c l a s s m a t e s was swallowing 'reds'. (secobarbital) to the point of fatality, many of these children r e p l i e d that they would sit by and say, 'Well, it's his life. He's just "doing his thing." They would let him die without intervening and without calling it to anyone's attention!" The January issue of KEEPING POSTED highlights the observations of the two psychiatrists as part of its treatment of the general theme of youthparent relations. Until' lately, Dr. Rabkin points out, a teenager was recognized for what he is, a young adult. "By definition, a young adult, a middle-aged adult, and an old adult have a lot in common, a sense of community." But unfortunately parents and their kids are nowadays led to believe that when the children become young adults •('teenagers') suddenly they are going tp> have, a problem, the •generation gap.' They expect to have a generation gap. This all may make good copy for the press and the mass media, but it really doesn't make good psychological sense.

Jerusalem (JTA)-^The director general of Israel's Defense Ministry predicts an arms race to introduce new weapons systems into the arena of conflict between Israel and Egypt. Yeshayahu Lavy said on a radio interview that. S o v i e t weapons systems now deployed in Egypt confronted Israel with a new challenge. He said the other side was escalating the arms race. According to Lavy, Israel's ability to keep pace with modern developments in ~weaponry depended on the development of its own arms Industry. Lavy said that as long as it continues, Israel grows less vulnerable to threats of arms embargos from abroad. He said the government has drawn "appropriate conclusions" ^about1 the danger of depending on foreign*ciir"ms sources. He warned, however, that the application of these lessons depended on the pace of industrialization in Israel which was fairly rapid. Nevertheless, he s a i d, it would take Israel some time to become self-sufficient in armaments. Lavy said that Israel faced a potential shortage of engineers and s c i e n t i s t s . "Those available to us must meet the challenges," he said.

Radical Jewish Youth Disowning 'ftevtr Left' Washington (ZINS) — In a survey carried out by the Hillel Foundation of B'nai B'rith, it was learned that a new grassroots movement is growing among American Jewish college students. While strongly anti-establish"ment in point of view", it disowns the anti-Israel stand of the "New Left." It repudiates those who give moral and other support to anti-Semitic "Black Panthers." Although the movement is. still rather, young and represents a small fraction of Jewish students, it is becoming more vocal in the academic community. According to the B'nai B'rith report, many Jewish students have been turned • off by 1he self-hatred evinced by so many Jewish youngsters in new leftist ranks. The "new radicals" are convinced that Jews cannot rely on the USA or, for that matter, on the other big powers, but should look mainly to their own resources for security and the fulfillment of their human destiny.

Those of you that know me, know that I am not often at a loss for words. Well, this is one time that the words just don't seem to come. As of the 1st of February I will be taking another position in Omaha. I am leaving the program in the very capable hands of Liz Connors, a Senior in PHY. ED. at U.N.O. She will need just as'much assistance as I did when I came to the J. so I hope you assist her as much and give her an opportunity. I want to thank Chuck Arnold, Mortimer Greenberg and all the members of the JCC Staff for their cooperation. BUT MOST OF ALL, I THANK YOU GIRLS FOR GIVING THE PROGRAM & ME A CHANCE. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU DO -THE SAME FOR LIZ! Shop through the Jewish Press SHALOM! Ads, "A Gracious Show Place"
