New York (JTA) — Soviet Jews are stepping up their agitatioa against the barriers to emigration. According to reliable Jewish sources, the new tack is to declare Israeli citizenship before obtaining visas and leaving the Soviet Union. This has been done already by Riga activists Ovsei Elyashevich and Mr. and Mrs. Faitelson, whose first names are unavailable. They recognize, it Is understood, the possible, adverse effect their announcements may have on the • fate of their emigration applica- tions, but are willing to take the risk in their attempt to dramatize their plight. Meanwhile, it has been learned .that 23-year-old Yosif M. Mendelevich of Riga, who was sentenced to 15 years at last December's Leningrad trial, has been denied visits by his relatives. In addition, his requests for a copy of the Old Testament have been rejected.
OMAHA, NEB., FIM, FEB. 12, 1971
In addition, the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry charged that two recent incidents indicate a step-up in harassment of Soviet Jew'sh a ct i v 1 s t s. Rabbi Herschel Scliacter, AJCSJ c h a i r m a n, quoted tourists returning from the USSR as reporting that a Muscovite Jew, David Drabkin, has received threatening letters, one stating: "We warn you, David Drabkin, that your anti-Soviet Zionist activity will bring you troubles. A stone might accidentally bruise, your head or a car might t r a m p l e you or you might not be living after getting involved in a fight. Take into account that we are not speaking idly." Drabkin has signed petitions protesting emigration roadblocks. The second incident involved another Muscovite Jew, Pinhas Krugler or (Klugliak), who, was b o a t e n near his home toward the end of January.
Rabbi Schacter added that according to his informants, the 33-year-old man was attacked by two well-dressed men carrying lead pipes and yelling* •'This is for the song 'Let My. People Go' that you sing, and for your applications for_emigration to Israel." When tha victim readied the police station, his face covered witht blood, he was warned he might be sentenced to 3 to 7 years in jail for false, testimony, according to the report. "Both of these instances," Rabi Schacter said, "are but ilia latest examples of a campaiga designed to intimidate J e w s from applying for emigration to Israel. The Soviet authorities place Jews in the impossible position of being d e n i e d , t h e v ability to express themselves as Jews, and then frustrated as well in their attempts.to leave the Soviet Union for Israel, where they feel they can be fulfilled as Jews."

Israel Considers the Implicationsof Sadat's Offer to Reopen Suez Canal
Jerusalem (JTA)—The United States government has reportedly assured Israel that it does not regard a p o s s i b l e Four-Power guarantee of future borders between Israel and its neighbors as a substitute for a firm peace agreement that will establish secure borders. The latest American note sought to allay Israeli. fears arising from Washington's apparent readiness to discuss the subject of Mideast guarantees with the other major powers. The U.S. reportedly stated that there was no change in its policy in this regard. Premier Golda Meir is expected to reiterate Israel's opposition to Four Power involvement in border questions when she delivers her political report to the Knesset; Mrs. Meir is also expected to indicate that her government does not reject Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's offer of last Thursday to reopen the Suez Canal if Israeli forces are withdrawn part way from its east bank. The Premier will make no Iscommitment to such a Jerusalem . . .

Nazi Josef Mengele Hiding in Paraguay
TEL AVIV (JTA)-Simon Wisenthal, the Nazi-hunter, told newsmen this week that he knows the exact whereabouts of notorious Auschwitz "selection doctor" Josef Mengele and has the number of the passport Mengele is holding. Wiesenthal, who came here to participate in a special television broadcast on "Nazi-hunting," disclosed that Mengele is in Paraguay, residing in a closed military district known as "Tuarto Vincente," over which the police have no jurisdiction. Tuvia Friedman, who has tracked down and brought to trial 'more than 1,000 Nazi criminals, said this week- in Haifa that a South African man has offered to. turn in Nazi doctor Josef Mengele in return for Friedman's ?50,000 reward. The man, Friedman said, also volunteered to testify against Mengele in court.
Friday, February It, 1971
In this respect, Israel is anxious to place on record the fact that it has over the past three years offered to permit the reopening of the Canal even
without a prior peace treaty, on condition that Israeli shipping is given the same rights of navigation as the shipping of other nations. Israeli officials fear that Israel's willingness in this regard may have been forgotten and that Sadat will get credit for taking the initiative to reopen tho Canal, closed since the June, 1967 war. In an interview taped in Jer-
usalem for NBC television, Mrs. Meir stressed that Israel has been advocating reopening the Canal since 1967 and hence there was nothing new in Sadat's proposal. Certain news sources in Israel interpreted Mrs. Meir's remarks as a dismissal of the Sadat offer but government sources made it clear later that such was not the Premier's intention.
Russian Expectant Mother Appeals for Emigration Aid The National Council of Jewish Women made p u b l i c a signed letcr smuggled out of Moscow earlier this month by a mother-to-be in a desperate attempt to get immediate action on her exit visa to Israel. The translation of the letter follows: "I am turning to you because I don't find the rights I look for in the country in which I live, the Soviet Union. All my life I dreamed about the country of our forefathers. All my life I wanted to live there and to raise my children there to be good Jews but fate played into the hands of our family. On the fourth of November they informed us officially that permission had been given to us to emigrate, but at the same moment they added that the exit visa would be obtainable only after the situation in (lie Middle East would be straightened out. This means that it will not be possible for us to use the exit visa for an unknown length of time. "According to the laws of the
Soviet Union, Jews who apply for emigration visas to Israel lose' their rights of citizenship in the Soviet Union. It is clear that if our fate depends on tho military situation in the Middle East, we can be considered "children of the desert", i.e., stateless persons. "Four months from now I am going to give birth. I don't know what kind of complicated games we have to participate in. I am not in good health and I fear for my unborn child— who will be born innocently as a "child of the desert." I do not want my, child to grow^ up without our culture and our language. For that reason I turn to you. My family must emigrate to Israel. Only in the land of our fathers will I find peace of mind and the security of my future." HELEN A. BERNSTEIN 393-9111

Protestors Wreck Neo-Nazi Offices Melbourne (JTA)—Some 500 persons—many of them bearing concentration-camp n u m b ers on their forearms and some wearing striped garments similar to those worn by camp inmates—wrecked the headquarters here of Australia's neoNazi organization this week. Two thousand demonstrators had massed to protest to the police over a parade and meeting scheduled by the neo-Nazis in a nearby park. But although the police persuaded the neoNazis to postpone their program, 500 of the demonstrators refused to disperse. Instead, they stormed the neo-Nazi headquarters,, smashed windows, tore down Nazi emblems and flags and left the place a wreck. Six shots were fired from the building by neo-Nazis. The police moved into the building and confiscated the guns, but made no arrests.

Wexler and Yehuda Hellman, chairman and executive director of the Conference of Presi. dents, w i t h debilitating the American Jewish Conference by denying it autonomy and the legal status required for fund raising. They added that after seven years of existence, the American Jewish Conference had only one full time paid professional on its staff. The student group charged Dr. Wexler and Hellman with being "more interested in tho prestige of the Conference of Presidents than in a strong.Soviet Jewry body," which it described as an "obstructionist and near-sighted policy." A student spokesman said "The American Jewish Conference of Presidents is strangling it at its very sources." He added, without elaboration, that "if no policy changes are forthcoming from the Conference of Presidents, other actions will be planned."

O m a h a — Several hundred Omahans participated in a community-wide rally for Soviet Jewry held last Sunday at Beth Israel Synagogue. The program included dramatic presentations; greetings from religious leaders in the community; s o n g s , dancing and a group letter-writing campaign to Soviet families. Highlight of the afternoon was an address by Dennis Prager, national spokesman for the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry. Mr. Prager described conditions as he found them during a visit to the Soviet Union last year. He related his experiences and conversations with Soviet Jews of all ages. He described the c o u r a g e of the young Soviet Jews who are making their voices heard in protest of the anti-Semitic conditions in the Soviet Union. Discussing what role American • Jewry must play in the Soviet Jew's struggle for freedom, Mr. Prager said, "All our brothers in Russia want from us is to make noise. I never met'a Soviet Jew who asked anything but that we continue our protests. No Soviet Jew says,-"keep quiet." You get that from some A m e r i c a n Jews, and that's what hurts." i Prager pointed out that the lives of two Jews in Leningrad
were spared last month because of the massive protest voiced following the Leningrad trials. "Noise has saved lives, he said. "We must continue to make our voices heard." In an emotional and candid address, Mayor Eugene Leahy challenged to action all who sit by passively while minority groups suffer from persecution. "Do we really care w h a t happens io the Blacks, the Indians, the Puerto Ricans in our country?" the m a y o r asked. ""We do not," he said. "Until we are personally involved, we do nothing. Until we straighten out the morals in this country, and live by our Bill of Rights, we aren't going to make much impression with our demands for Justice from the Russians," he said. In terms of Soviet Jewry, the mayor n o t e d that too few Jews were actively involved in the struggle. "Until all Jews get involved—what can be cxp e c t e d of the non-Jews in America," he asked.

5.000 Calls Made Weekly To Soviet Jewry 'Hot Line' New York (JTA)-The American Jewish Congress Soviet Jewry "hot line"—a recorded telephone message that gives callers up-to-date information on the situation of Soviet Jews and word of local efforts in their behalf — is getting more than 5,000 calls a week in four of the nation's major cities. Mrs. Saul Becktnan of Phil-
adelphia, co-chairman of the organization's national Committee on Soviet Jewry, said that special "hot line" numbers in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Miami were each tallying well over 1,000 calls per week. The figure rose sharply during the trial of the Leningrad 11 and has remained at a high level since then.

Hollywood Stars Protest Treatment of Soviet Jews r.
By Carl Alpert Haifa—There has never been even the shadow of a threat to academic freedom in Israel, .but much attention is being given these days to a lively discussion which has broken out on the subject of Arab s t u d e n t s and national security. The 350 Arabs and Druse enrolled at Haifa University constitute the highe s t percentage Alpert of the minorities in the student body of any Israel university. The pro-rector of the University, Professor Benjamin Akzin, is proud of that fact. The University also appoints junior staff members from among the Arab graduates and three of the latter are abroad this year for further study, on fellowships provided by the University. But, admitted Professor Akzin, before making appointments to the university staff he does consult the defense and security authorities. Because of their a d m i t t e d l y accurate knowledge of what is going on in the Arab world, both In Israel and across the border, they are in a position to know which individual cannot be trusted in a responsible position as teacher and molder of opinion. That is when the storm broke. A group of 19 teachers of his own university protested. The' National Students Association went on record against this attitude. The rector of Tel-Aviv University, Professor A. De Vries, declared that at his school there was no clearance with any one, and only academic criteria were tak"en into consideration when making appointments. The critics warmed to the attack. We talk of integrating the Arabs into the life of the country, they said, yet here we undermine their confidence. Frustrated intellectuals who are barred from jobs on alleged security grounds can truly be converted into enemies. The test of a potential teacher lies in his ability as a scientist or scholar and not in his political affiliation or philosophical views. Further, a student who has been permitted to attend classes and graduate from Haifa University without being charged for treason or restricted to his village as a suspicious person can hardly be a danger to the nation's security. This is a dangerous and anti-democra-
tic course which Professor Akzin is pursuing. The university head has not been lacking in defendants. Let us not be naive, they say. It is suicidal, in the name of democracy, to invite potential and even avowed foes of the State of Israel Into positions of influence in our universities, or elsewhere. If there were peace with our neighbors and security on our borders that would be a luxury which perhaps we could tolerate. But at a time when the Arab world, and Its Ideological supporters e v e n here, speak of destroying Israel and throwing its people into the sea, we would be fools indeed to ease the path to our own destruction. Akzin makes it clear that his task is to run a university. He
By JOAN SILBERSTEIN In a tiny Polish village which doesn't exist any more, a four-year-old child once set out every day, long before dawn, for cheder. A lantern nearly as big' as h i m s e l f swung from one hand to light the path. The dark didn't scare the boy and he endured the snowy, cutting winds of winter without thought. Just two things mattered: he was Jewish and he would grow up to be a rabbi. The path in the village in Poland that led to cheder brought Isadore Koplovitz, ;my grandfather, to America where he did, in fact, become a rabbi. For thirty years, he went wherever there was a congregation that needed him. With his wife and three children, he went to the Jews huddled in small clumps across the barren plains of Kansas. He went to the Jews scattered by the handful through Georgia, and then moved up through the midwest to the Iron and cop-

per country of northern Michigan. I think the most remarkable thing that ever happened to my grandfather was. what happened when he couldn't be a rabbi any more. After thirty years of wandering, after thirty years of being so poor the children never had a store-bought toy, my grandmother planted her feet .finally and said, "Isadore, I can't stand it any more. Don't be a rabbi. Be something else." To keep peace in the house and to hold the family together, my grandfather went out to sell insurance. T h a t was how he came to settle down in Detroit and to earn enough money, for the first time in his life, to support his family. But selling insurance nearly broke my grandfather's spirit. A rabbi is what he was. So, at night when he finished work and on the, Sabbath, he walked out miles to the Polish neighborhood in Detroit to preach, without pay, to people who needed him. Many came

New York (JTA) — Three Rockland County rabbis — Orthodox, C o n s e r v a t i v e and Reform — staged a three-day starvation diet, called the "Fast for Freedom" on behalf of Soviet Jewry. Glenn Richter, national coordinator of the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ) said the ordeal was an attempt to portray to Rockland County residents the conditions under which Soviet prisoners live. The three rabbis, #who were identified.by Richter as Avraham ' Weiss, Hillel Friedman and Kalil Rosenberg, were dressed in prison garb and traveled to various points in Rockland County in a mobile trailer made up to look like a. prison. In an attempt to completely, stimulate prison conditions, the rabbis subsisted on an 800caloric diet of moldy bread and thin soup, which is believed the usual. fare Soviet prisoners receive.. The mobile trailer the rabbis are sleeping in is unheated. "Aside from portraying the conditions under which Soviet prisoners live," .Richter said, "the 'Fast for Freedom' is also a ploy to alert public opinibn to the forthcoming trials of Soviet Jews in Riga, Leningrad and Kishinev."
because he was a hah-kham, a man wise in the study of the Bible, the Torah, the Talmud. Many came because he gave of himself, asking nothing in return. There was no synagogue, only the empty spaces in the aisles of a Polish-Jewish general store where; during the day, working men bought clothes and women came for sundries and yard goods. All this seems to make a difference between my grandfather and many rabbis of 1970. To me, many moacrn American rabbis are corporate businessmen — disguised as rabbis. And all this seems to make a difference, too, between the congregations of 1870 and many congregations of 1970. Many congregations of second and third generation American Jews are, I think, congregations of nearly assimilated, nearly Christians— disguised as Jews. If we have come to this In the name of progress, then where are we going as Jews? And. why?

does not set up political or ideological criteria of any kind, but he does have respect for the advice of defense and security authorities upon whom the country must rely in critical times like these. If every citizen thinks that he is the best judge of what constitutes security, under the guise of democracy, we would be in a sorry state indeed. There are unpleasant things that must be done during conditions of war that would not be done in time of peace. Otherwise the nation would never survive to attain that peace. Professor Akzin faced the Council of his University and his stand was upheld by a vote of 29 in favor, with 6 abstentions... Nationally the debate continues.

A Column Without a Name By Mike Rip's Probably one of the most controversial issues facing our society is that of the possible repeal of (in my opinion) outdated abortion laws. The following question was posed: Do you favor the liberalization of the present abortion laws? • • .• Bennet Rodick: Yes, I do favor the liberalization of such laws. The laws presently on the b o o k s are biased against the poor. The rich are able to obtain abortions by merely having the money to travel to Hawaii, New York, or Mexico, while the poor in most cases are forced to have the child. . This in turn means that no m a t t e r how much the poor mother may earn at a job, the money is channeled back to her child and not to home improvements etc. This is added to the fact that a poor mother must devote much of her time to her child thus lessening her possibility of being a wage earner. You see a type of cycle of poverty develop. The unwanted
child also adds to the mental instability of the family. *
•
•
Anne Yalfe: Very much so. The need to provide adequate checks on population growth cries out for the liberalization of abortion laws. Also I believe that if a woman feels she ought to have an abortion but is unable to obtain one, the child will be born into an emotionally unstable home environment. Both population control and the avoidance of the emotionally unstable home precludes, any possible benefits gained from retention of present abortion

laws. •. • *
Jim Lehr: Archaic abortion laws should definitely be repealed simply because a mother should have the right of deciding whether or not she wants to have a child. The problems and difficulties that arc encountered upon having a child are multitudinous. It is because of these problems that the mother should be given her choice in the matter.

ATTENTION BOYS!
AEROBICS—TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH The breakdown of the four separate age brackets is as fol.olows: Under 30; 30 to 39; 40 to 49; 50 and over. 12-Minule Test
The first of these field tests is the 12-minutc test. Run and walk as -far as you comfortably can in 12 minutes. If you get winded, slow down awhile until you get your breath back. Then run again for a stretch. The idea is to cover the greatest distance you can in those 12 minutes. .-.'.... Our findings show that the distance covered corelates very accurately with treadmill measurements of oxygen consumption ' and aerobic capacity. In other words you can measure your aero4 bic capacity and, determine your fitness category simply by a 12-minute run. 12-Minute test For Men 40-19 50 f 30-39 Fitness Category Under 30 .95 .85 .80 1; Very Poor 1.0 ,85-1.14 .85-LO4 .HO- .99 p) ;2.
