"Live in Four; Economies Poor1 London (JTA)—At least 38 Jews under detention in Iraq were identified this week by A m n e s t y International, the London-based private organization interested in the rights of political prisoners all over the world. The list refuted a statement from official Baghdad sources that no Jews were being held. The Amnesty report, described the poor condition of Iraq's remaining Jews, most of whom, it said, are unemployed. "It is virtually impossible for Jews to obtain passports," Amnesty said. "Only six Jews have been able to buy their way out; these have all been old, sick and wealthy—the last man to leave paid $3,600 to the government on deposit" The Amnesty report said that though much of Iraq's antiJewish legislation has been revoked in theory, the small Jewish community of about 2,500 "lives in fear and suffers extreme economic pressure."

Labor Official Affirms Discrimination Against Jews for Executive Positions S t Louis, (JTA)—A Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor said here this week that discrimination against Jews in filling top corporate executive positions p e r s i s t s although "the exclusions come in many cases as a great shock to the corporations themselves." The situation was discussed at length by John L. VVilkes, who oversees contract compliance in the Department of Labor. Wilkes addressed a luncheon for 45 local corporation presidents and principals representing 22 St. Louis-based major corporations. It was arranged by the Executive Opployment Opportunity Committee of the American Jewish .Committee and the Jewish Employment and Vocational Service. The government official said

"Any success in the Jewish group's fight a g a i n s t bias, therefore, is likely to become a most important precedent for other minorities in the future." Wilkes suggested that corporate executives examine staWilkes emphasized that Jews tistics in their own companies "are merely the chief current to determine if discrimination victims of executive suite dis- exists and then "issue clear crimination."

ADL Assails E S . for Aiding Biased Illack New York (JTA)—The AntiDefamation League of B'nal B'rith has criticized the United States government for a halfmillion dollar grant to an organization it charges is headed by "a professional anti-Semite" who is seeking to establish an anti-Semitic mercenary army. ADL general counsel Arnold Forster made that charge this week in reference to the socalled Blackman's Volunteer Army of Liberation, headed by Col. Hassan Jeru-Ahmed, 47 director of Blackman's Development Center In Washington. Forster said that Jeru-Ahmed had a background of "racism, b i g o t r y and anti-Semitism," and that it was "totally inappropriate" for him to be given federal funds-$523,O00-for his narcotics-r e h a b i litation program in Washington and in Spotsylvania County, Va.

The ADL's fact-finding director, Justin Finger, added that Jeru-Ahraed has been "involved with known anti-Semites and racists," such as Willis Carlo, head of the right-wing Liberty Lobby. Finger said- the ADL has protested the grant to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Jeru-Ahmed, who calls himself the head of the "Provisional Government of the United Moorish Republic," also gets $169,000 from the Narcotics* Treatment Administration, for work with drug addicts. Last year he received $23,000 from the Department of Human Resources, and last month $25,000 from the Teamsters' Alliance for Labor Action. The organization's total income last year was $193,343; after expeditures, it had $1,500.

Washington Synagogues Desecrated by Vandals Washington (JTA) — Swastikas, and hammer-and-s i c k 1 e emblems were painted on the walls of four synagogues. and another synagogue was stoned here last week. The foot-high desecrations were painted on with black enamel paint and the apparent use of stencils. The daubings — effected at night in a respectable, lowcrime neighborhood—victimized Tifereth Israel, a Conservative temple, and«Ohev Shalom, Beth Shalom and Agudath Achim, -all Orthodox. Summit Hill Congregation, an Orthodox synagogue, was stoned during Passover services by assailants who fled. The worst-marred building was Beth Shalom, suffering its first vandalism in its 13-year existence. All six of its doors were smeared with paint. Ironically, the building has floodlights that are on at night. Ob-

servers said the stoning of Summit Hill was apparently not connected with the smearings at the other four synagogues. Although the neighborhood, in upper northwest Washington, has had its population turn in recent years from predominantly Jewish to significantly black, an official of one of the vandalized synagogues s a i d Jewish-black relations in the area were friendly. Another official noted that the American Nazi Party held a rally here last week in Lafayette Park and that its 11 participants reportedly included four men who were allegedly beaten by Jewish Defense League members outside the White House two weeks ago during a rally for Soviet Jews, He speculated that the neoNazis might have vandalized the synagogue to avenge themselves.

A Few By Jim Kirshenbaum Omaha — "Absolutely terrible." "I couldn't believe it." "Very poor." These and other similar remarks were made by the leaders of the Youth Division following the "mass meeting" held last Sunday night at Temple Israel. The purpose of the meeting was to give local Jewish youth the opportunity to make their pledges to the Omaha Philanthropies Campaign. Jim Crounse, cochairman of the Youth Division, accurately described the attendance at the assembly in a single word "lousy." In spite of the poor attendance, those people who did come participated in an unprecedented pledge night. Almost f3,I0O was pledged from the 129 students who were at the assembly. This comes close to surpassing the 83,192 pledged by 363 students in the Youth Division for all ol last year. The teenagers who attended the meeting showed themselves to be deeply committed to the cause of Philanthropies by pledging on the average $24.00 per person. Nearly two months ago, Gail Eisenstatt and Jim Crounse, co-chairman of the Youth Division, began selecting captains for "the greatest youth campaign in Omaha's history." At the series of meetings which followed, the captains learned the importance of Philanthropies and the startling realities justifying the cliche "survival means sacrifice."

Organizing the Campaign The students, imitating the example set by Jim and Gail, worked hard to organize themselves into an effective group which would be able to successfully solicit funds from their peers. Although heated discussion sometimes arose over the best method for s e c u r i n g pledges, the captains soon settled their differences and began preparing for the Philanthropies Weekend. The captains were presented a statistical breakdown of how much money was collected in the 1970 Omaha campaign and where the funds were spent. Most people were surprised to discover that over 25 per cent of the money stayed in Omaha. The students were shown the procedure for requesting pledges and the most influential means for convincing others to give generously. As the weekend of April 16-18 approached, the committee assigned the task of arranging the Friday night service at Beth Israel added the final touches to their program. This was to be a s h o r t , original service during which the students would present a variety of readings which would properly set the mood for the weekend. The evening was amazingly portentous of things to come. A "whopping turnout" of almost 20 young people filled the pews for the 30 minute service.

tal. Mr. Shabtai, a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Chicago and a native born Israeli, spoke about growing up in Israel. "For as long as I can remember the threat of Arabs was with us," said Shabtai, "I was constantly reading and hearing about incidents and terrorist activities at my country's borders." "I grew up as both an Israeli and a Jew. There was never any conflict about my Jewish identity. I would feel something tightening inside of me whenever I read abSut Anti-Semitic occurrences in other nations." "When I first come to America (he attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois) I was both a proud Israeli and a Jew who was not ashamed of my heritage. My first encounter with American Jewish youth was at ar Jewish fraternity." "I was appalled by the way the students rejected their Judaism and Israel." "I put an Israeli flag on the ceiling in my dormitory but was asked by rhy fraternity brothers to put it somewhere else. They wanted me to do this because they were afraid that their non-Jewish dates would be offended'by the sight of a Star of David. Since the 1967 War, however, I believe that there has been a growing sense of ethnic pride among the American Jewish people." During the question and answer period which followed, Shabtai was asked about the current political - situation in the Mid-East. He declared that, "Everything depends upon the strength of Israel. We have learned our lesson about giving in before we have a legitimate peace." He also expressed the belief there is a growing strain between the U.S. and Israel. "The American government is pushing us to adopt a policy we cannot accept. We will not repeat the same mistakes we made in 1956." After all the questions were answered, the students filled out their .pledge cards and enjoyed refreshments.

"In spite of the disappointing turnout," commented Mrs. Norman Denenberg, an adult advisor for the Youth Division, "I still think we will have a better c a m p a i g n than last year." Considering the number of

students at the mass meeting (about 25 per cent of the Omaha High School youth) ono hopes that Mrs. Denenberg is right. Otherwise, the slogan "If you care enough you'll give enough" will portray a situation no one wants to admit exists.

Everything Is Relative In a story in this Issue, Central High School senior, Jim Kirshenbaum reports on the Youth Philanthropies Rally held at .. Temple Israel last Sunday. It is a story that should be read by all. 1 From an adult point of view, it was a highly successful event. At the conclusion of the Sunday evening meeting, 129 high school students, representing one-third of the total high school division, bad signed their pledge cards. The 129 cards totaled $3,028, an unprecedented average of nearly $2-1 per card from our young people. / ' But the leaders of the Youth Campaign were not satisfied. - In their appraisal of their peers—it was not enough. The young leaders care deeply, and no matter what the final figures show, they will not consider their campaign successful unless every member in their division "cares enough to give enough." ••''• For high school students whose incomes are limited to allowances and meager part-time earnings, an average of ?24 per student represents the kind of sacrificial giving it will take if Omaha is to meet the $2 million Campaign goal this year. Everything is relative, and if student gifts average $24, how much is enough from the adult members of the community? On Sunday, May 2, a special dinner will be held for men making individual contributions to the current campaign of at least $1,000. Relatively speaking, $1,000 for many men does not rcpreBent-the sacrificial giving of $24 for most of our young people. Relatively speaking, the dinner at Highland Country Club, highlighted by the appearance of Senator Hubert Humphrey, will be far more glamorous than the Pepsi and Donuts served at the Youth Rally. But we wonder if the men of the community can match the performance of the young people. There are about 2,000 Jewish men in Omaha. If one-third come through, about 700 will be present at that dinner. It Is well that our youth arc not satisfied by the results of their campaign so far. We commend them for their commitment to total sacrificial giving on the part of their peers. We only hope that on May 2 the men of the community will match the example they have set so far.

By BEN GALLOB . The widely held belief that rabbis should stay out of political activity may have been outmoded by the current struggle for re-distribution of political power through which American minority groups—including Jews—are pressing for reforms in the American system, in the view of one politically-active Orthodox rabbi. As Rabbi Bernard Weinberger sees it, in response to the growing polarization of t h e American society over reform needs and demands, Jews are becoming steadily more "discernable as a group," just as other ethnic groups, "like the Blacks, the Italian-Americans and the Irish, are also becoming more recognizable _as bloc voters." As Jews become a voting group and correspondingly "a potent force'' for change, the rabbi has a responsibility "to give guidance and direction to this force so that It may be used for the betterment of the Jewish community." Rabbi Weinberger, the first Orthodox Jew to serve on the Council Against Poverty, the New York City policy-making
