Mideast Arms Upset Washington (JTA)—The State Department refused to comment on a New York Times story that recent escalated shipments of the latest- Soviet MIGs to Syria and Egypt upsets the military balance in the Mideast. . The Department spokesman assured reporters that the U.S. has a long-standing commitment to keep the military balance in the region. But he refused to give the details of how the Administration would implement its policy. The spokesman refused to comment on charges by Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan last Saturday that Israel did not have a regular flow of arms from the' U.S. because of Egyptian pressure on Washington not to supply Israel with warplanes. State Department officials however confirmed the Times story which included particulars of Soviet aid to Egypt and Syria, . According to the Times, the UAR received nearly 100 MIG21s since the cease-fire went Into effect in Aug. 1970, with delivery of eight in June 1971
alone, as well as 80 transport . | helicopters, including 16 i n ' June. The Times reported Syrian shipments at a total of 21: of the latest model MIG-21s, nine older MIG-17S, and five Sukhoi 7 fighter-bombers and 22 MIG-8 helicopters. Intelligence experts quoted by the Times interpreted the supply of the helicopters to mean that the USSR has decided to provide the Arabs with greater mobility in desert or mountain warfare.
Woodburne, N.Y. (JTA) — Rabbi Meir Kahane, national chairman of the Jewish Defense League, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that "The JDL will not be turning in any illegal weapons because ' we have none." Kahane, who pleaded guilty in Brooklyn Federal District Court Friday to a* conspiracy charge involving the manufacture of explosives, was referring to a stipulation by the Government that the JDL turn over to Federal authorities any illegal .weapons and fire arms in its possession- and submit to an inspection of its camp site here. Interviewed by the JTA at Camp Jcdel here, Kahane said the JDL had "quite a few guns" at the camp but that all were "registered and legal." He said that the manufacture of explosives at the camp got him into trouble because of ignorance of the law. He said-he.. didn't know that the JDL needed a $250 Federal stamp in order to explode a bomb on its

property. And that his purpose in making and detonating a bomb was to show campers how radical groups prepared their own bombs. Kahane said that he planned a similar demonstration for the press next week and that this time he would "invest $250 in a stamp." He said his guide in tlio bomb-making s e m i n a r would be instructions published in a Black Panther newspaper. Kahane faces sentence later this month on the explosives charge. He stated that if he is jailed he did not expect the JDL to c o l l a p s e . "We have thousands of young members who won't be stopped by this," he asserted, adding that he expected to continue to play a leadership role in the JDL even from Jail.

Youth Pilgrimage in Israel
Omaha—Excited and exciting letters have been arriving In Omaha from students participating In the first Youth Pilgrimage Program in I s r a e l which is co-sponsored by the Omaha J e w i s h Federation, Beth Israel Synagogue, Temple Israel and Beth El Synagogue. Some of the parents of the young people were willing to share their news with us, and we would like to share It with you. The following are excerpts from letters describing the arrival and first week in Israel:
From Susan Fried, who Is 16, to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Fried. We have seen many moving sights and } have learned very much. I feel such a bond to Israel and to Judaism as a way of life. I am able to understand and feel much more than I eVer could before. Thank you for offering me this truly unique experience. Nancy Brown to her family, Mr. and Mrs. S. Ostcn: We are staying in Jerusalem, in a dormitory called Karmit
Marc Dclraan, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Delman: Dear Mom and Dad . . . I have gotten to the point where I can fairly easily get around Jerusalem. Its a beautiful city but its not modern enough so I would not want to live here forever, however I would not mind going to school here. The sun is hot here and by the time I'm home I should be nice and black. With all my love and Shalom, Marc *"

Arriving in Israel
Praying at the Western Wall near Ein Karem; which is very beautiful. We have visited lots of individual sights, buildings and monuments that are important but most of them are located in or near Jerusalem: The Western Wall, the Old City, the tombs of Itahel, Arahdm, Sarah, Isaac, J a c o b , Leah and so forth, and the city of Hebron. • .
To her grandoarents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Wolfe, f r o m Beth Staenberg: I can't even begin to relate to you how much I am getting
out of this trip—not only in fun, but also knowledge. I am having the time of my life. The Israelis are really great—they are so nice and friendly and wholesome. I'm even picking up some Hebrew into'my vocabulary . . . We went to the Western Wall on Saturday and Friday to pray—I felt so extraordinaryit was a great feeling. Sunday we went to the parliament building and Dead-Sea Scrollsit was such a fantastic tour. The El Al flight here was too much—cat, s l e e p , eat, eat, sleep, eat!
Arabs Receive Free Treatment
Omaha Seniors To Des Moines
Jerusalem (JTA)—Israel has extended what amounts to state health insurance to residents of the West B~nk. Israeli hospitals and clinics are providing free treatment and hospitalization to West Bankers and only rarely asking the patients to contribute to the cost of the treatment. In contrast, the Jordanian government prior to the Six-Day War required patients to pay fees.
Des Moines—The G o l d e n Age group in Des Moines extends an invitation to all Senior Citizens and older adults in Omaha to be its guests at a luncheon in Des Moines on Sunday, July 25. The cost of the round trip by bus will be ?2.50. Further inform a t i o n and reservations may be obtained from Mollie Delman, 342-1366.
THE OMAHA HEBREW ACADEMY is in the final stages of paying off all its debt. Those with outstanding bills please contact Dr. Irving Shapiro, 393-4461.

• New York (JTA)—The State Department said that it recognized Soviet Jews as a national group within the Soviet Union but nevertheless would not institute broadcasts to them in Yiddish or Hebrew over the Voice of America "at this time." The statement was contained In a letter to Rab# Arthur J. Lelyveld, president of t h e AJCongress, from Samuel Do Palma, Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs. De Palma's letter was in reply to a letter Rabbi Lelyvold sent to Secretary of State William P. Rogers last June asking the State Department to repudiate a reported statement by a U.S. official that Soviet Jews did not constitute a national group in the USSR and therefore was not entitled to Yiddish or Hebrew broadcasts. Rabbi L e l y v e l d asked Secretary Rogers to have the VOA inaugurate such broadcasts to Soviet Jews for their "symbolic as well as practical value." DePalma said in his letter that the official cited by Lelyveld was misquoted and that the State Department in fact, had long recognized Soviet Jews as a national group.

The Summer Replacement
Only in America! By BARRY GOLDEN
The Name Cohen By HARRY GOLDEN There is a reason why more Jews around the country bear the name Cohen than any other. surname. The immigration inspectors on Ellis Island made every Jew whose name they could not pronounce a Cohen. This was all right with the vast majority of immigrant Jjpvvs. To a Jew of the 1900s theraame Cohen was as prestigioua\as the name Lodge, 'duPontffo^ Adams is to the American ailizJcn of 1970.
Jews were quite content with the appellation. Cohen is the oldest Jewish name in existence, and one of the earliest family names in Western history. It indicates descent from the priestly family (kohanim) which descends from Aaron, the brother of Moses and the first high priest. In an Orthodox Jewish shut, a Cohen has the priestly prerogative and on the important Jewish holidays he is (lie first man to whom the honors are extended during the reading of From 1890 to RJ2irhundreds of the Torah.

Seattle JCC Board
Adopts Drag PolicySeattle (JTA)-The Jewish Community Center board hero approved a policy on possessession, use or sales of illegal drugs on center premises or during .participation in center programs. The program, which was described as the first such policy in the United States by a Jewish Community Center, is not being adopted in response to any current drug abuse problem. Center officials state, but because the Center can no longer ignore the situation around them. Officials feel the policy will help the staff to have some flexibility in counseling youthful offenders and their parents while preventing the use or sale of dangerous drugs In . community activities. Community Responsibility The policy statement declares that the illegal use of drugs cannot be tolerated and as a social agency the center has a responsibility to its members and the community. Under the policy, the only ac-
tion taken the first time anyone under 18 is found using or possessing illegal drugs on center premises, or during center programs will be notification of the offender's parents. A conference will bo arranged between the child, the parent and a center professional staff member. A second offense will bar the minor from use of all center facilities and not permit reinstatement without approval of the center's executive director, - This procedure with minors Is contingent on parents giving signed releases to the center giving unconditional permission to use such procedures. In the absence of such a release, the center would have no alternative but to info/m the proper authorities, the statement said. For offenders over 18, the executive director is advised to inform the' authorities. Pending disposition of the case, the .offender is barred from the "center and reinstated only with tho approval of the executive director. ' •
What Is a Rabbi?
Stand Aside, Mrs. Portnoy By Lynda Mlrvish I read recently that in,Israel this year, the title of "Mother of the Year" was awarded to Mrs. Matilda H a l p e r i n 42, mother of six, and possibly Israel's only lady welder. Mrs. Halperin not only does her own housework, dressmakes for her whole family, sculpts and does ornamental welding but also works in her husband's carpentry shop. Almost point for point, Mrs. Halperin measures up to a biblical description of a legendary Jewish Mother. Does this ring a beli for you? It does to me . . . "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price Is far above rubles." In the all-girl high school which I attended in South Africa, the Principal read us this text at morning assembly at least once a month. There was a lesson to be ' learned from the wisdom of Proverbs, somewhere, but very little practical advice by way of cooking, sewing, home economics or motherhood. "She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens" — my luisbarid would not welcome dinner at 4:00 a.m.. and in this day and age, I haye no maidens to give portions to. "She maketh herself coverings of tapestry, her clothing is silk- and purple" — but what style?—where is the pattern? "Her children arise up, and call" her blcssed;"-ls this the Jewish Mother of contempory fiction? However, concealed In this poetic description of the ideal wife there is a hint of non-domestic liberation. "She considercth a field and buyeth it;" like today, it seems, the virtuous woman of biblical times made major family decisions dnd had control of the family' finances. "She maketh fine linen, and sellethit; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant." It is this last sentence that .speaks to me: although tho virtuous wom• en excells In all things domestic, (she is kind, tolerant, charitable, too) she is expected and is able to go out in the world and, by, her talents, add to the family's income and comfort. Somcffhere along the path of history the picture of the Jewish Mother changed, America took the Jewish Mother syndrome to its heart and the phrase has crept into the language—and it is not a compliment today, implying a cloying, chlcken-soup-making, p u s h y shrew! Its time we c h a n g e d the
image. Jewish mothers, unite! Life is more than diapers, card games and kneidlach. Let us protest the image of the maternal "kwetch" on television comedy, and literature. It is high time we emerged as practical, "virtuous women."

Des Moines J. W.F. to Support Israel Bonds . Des Moines—The Board of Governors of the Jewish Welfare Federation has unanimously adopted a resolution offering Federation support for the Israel Bond Campaign to be held in October. The Feder-' ation will provide leadership— a chairman and committee members—for the drive. Harold Goldenberg of Minneapolis, Minn., explained the Israel Bond Campaign to board members at a recent meeting. He pointed out the difference between the "tree dollar" of the United Jewish Appeal drive, which helps to bring immigrants to Israel and supports that nation's social welfare needs, and the "investment dollar" of State of Israel Bonds, which goes directly to.the government.

Mr. Goldenberg also suggested a group of potential inves: tors, such as national banks, pension funds, profit-sharing plans, unions, insurance companies and synagogue building funds. To such groups, the bonds pay a higher rate of interest—5% per cent-and are redeemable upon 90 days' notice. A total of $1.8 billion worth of bonds has been sold since the first issue in 1951, and $1 billon of that has been repaid', on bonds that have come due.

1 The Honor of Today
crowd sang the two Jewish anthems—"Blue and White"—the new anthem of the Russian Jews and "Hatikvah". The crowd of once noisy youngsters • was suddenly stilled and began murmuring the words. What struck me most deeply about this scene was that here was the youth of Israel, proud, unafraid, self-confident young people born in Israel, who had lived a life of complete freedom, not harrassed by any of the miseries that had plagued Jews 'throughout history, and' still torment those in the Soviet Union. That this youth should come to an awareness of the problems of their fellow Jews*in Russia and gather in order to identify with them, was a most moving event. The future leaders of the State of Israel— the State which symbolizes freedom and the unity of the Jews the world over as one people —were calling i upon the world to free their people still in bondage. And then the thought occured to me": Might not" the fate of the six million have been different if there had been a State of Israel then, with this same proud, unafraid, youth coming together to protest against the slaughter of their people? As I left the Wall, I uttered a prayer to myself: May the world listen this time and may we see the time when the Jewish youth the world over will walk free, and carefree, expressing their Jewish identity, as the Israeli youth whom I saw today at the Wall.
By Barbara Levin I went to the Wall today. I had been to the Wall many times before. I had been among the mourners there on Tisha B'av and among the congregants on Hosh Iiashanah and most recently on Israel Independence Day. But today I was attending an event there that had special significance. The youth of Jerusalem and its environs had rallied there to protest against the injustices suffered by their fellow Jews in the Soviet Union. .,, When I first arrived at the scene, I saw many young people milling around, chatting, laughing, and behaving like they do on Saturday night, the night when the main streets of Jerusalem seem to be in the midst of one big party. The youth of Israel manage to look like this whenever you see them, happy, outgoing and socially-oriented. > Soon, however, I saw that this wasn't another Saturday night get-together, because I noticed everywhere the new familiar symbols and signs of protest against the plight of Russian Jewry. Many youths carried placards or wore badges with the oft-heard plea—"Let My People Go!" And then I heard voices over the loudspeaker in Hebrew, first of a man and then of a young girl, urging us to stand united a s . one people, to help these Jews in their struggle. After the speeches, the youthful'

Jerusalem (JTA)—Israeli authorities questioned by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency have categorically denied r e p o r t s that the interrogation of Jewish emigres from the Soviet Union was a subject discussed with CIA chief Richard Helms during his visit to Israel last week. Earlier reports said one of the reasons for Helms' visit was to secure permission for American agents to question the new arrivals from the USSR. Israeli authorities have not deviated from their long-standing policy of not permitting Soviet immigrants to be questioned by Israeli or foreign agents.
Being Jewish1
Paris (ZINS)—A new book has just appeared entitled "The Honor of Being Jewish," which applies a scientific method to proving that Jews have greatly enriched the world in all fields of endeavor. It ^ays that Jews should feel proud to belong to a people which "did not permit the world to sink into a stupor." Although the authors do not spell it out in so many words, the implication is clear that it is high time for Jews to put aside their complexes and neuroses stemming from the minority status, and to abandon their d r e a m s and fantasies about the blessings of assimilation and intermarriage. The authors al this study are two non-Jewish writers—Tiori Molnieu and Szilber Pruta.

One of them wants to approach .the animal, .but is held back by the second who warns that the horse will attack. To this the first youngster replies, 'but how does the horse know I am Jewish?'

ceremony which is legally recognized in Israel. Like the overwhelming majority of such matches this one too went, on the rocks. Ho had promised to become Jewish, but instead ha began agitating for her to convert. He insisted that their little daughter learn to speak only Arabic and not Hebrew. She went to court to seek divorce or dissolution of the marriage. She told the judge: I don't love him; I can't live with him; his way of life is so strange. When he tried to have our daughter baptized. I realized this could not go on. . His consent for the separation was necessary. She waived all alimony claims; sho waived all demands for support of the child; she paid him IL.4,000—and then he consented to the separation, and gave her the child. The third story. She is the daughter of a shochet in Johannesburg, and recently came to visit Israel. Mustapha was the waiter in a cafe here on the Carmel, not far" from where I live. They became friends—and fell in love. Mustapha is one of ten children. He is 27, and works as a waiter from time to time, hoping to save enough money to open a vegetablestore in lus village. She is 22, and has a B.A. degree in history and Hebrew language and literature. They planned to emigrate together to Australia and get married there. Her father heard about it, and rushed to Israel. The press hero reported the highly emotional scenes as tho girl cried she would not give up her beloved Mustapha. Some well-meaning Arabs suggested that the father pay the boy $2,000, which be could use as mohar, the cost of "buying" an Arab bride at the current market price. The argument went on for days. The girl crumbled under pressures and left Mustapha. Only a few weeks ago, broken and in tears, she boarded a plane at Lydda Airport, on her father's arm.
