New JCC for Des Moines Des Moines—The Board of Governors of (he Jewish Wei* fare Federation bag accepted the recommendations of the community planning committee that a Jewish Community Center facility be constructed or acquired. President M o s e Waldinger will appoint a committee to begin implementation of the recommendations. The board called for this committee's report to be brought to the October meeting of the board. The c o m m i t t e e is charged with the responsibilities of looking for a suitable Bite, securing the services of an architect, and studying the financial capacity of the community for capital funds and the type of support possible from membership dues. The planning committee presented its recommendations to the board after two public forums at which members of the

'

community were invited to present their views and disctfSs the community's need for Center services and facility. Recommendations The text of the recommendations, as approved by the board, appears below. "It is, therefore, recommended by the Committee that Beth El Jacob Synagogue be considered as temporary quarters with the following immediate steps taken to relocate the Jewish Community Center after demonstration of adequate Jewish community financial SH>port for a capital funds campaign and annual membership, support from dues: " 1 .

Omaha ADL-CRC Reaffirms Opposition to JDL Activities Omaha—With only one dissenting yote, the»Omaha AntiDefamation League-C o m munity Relations Committee this week reaffirmed their opposition to the activities of the Jewish Defense League. A report on the JDL was presented by Mrs. Milton Waldbaum at Uie Monday meeting of the committee. It..was noted that national ADL policy opposes violence and extremism, and accordingly, the. ADL could not support any group which

used violence or illegal tactics to reach its goals. The near unanimous vote put the group on record as follows: 1) Should ADL and other Jewish organizations continue to publicly express their opposition to the JDL? YES; 2) Should ADL/National Jewish organizations c o o p e r a t e with the JDL on an ad hoc basis? NO. 3) Should ADL oppose efforts of the JDL to integrate itself into the structure of the Jewish community? YES.

'We Can't Forget'

Creighton U. to Host Soviet Jewry Program

Letter to Ornahan TelBs Russian Jew's Story Jew, strengthened my spirit and helped me to overcome my sickness and pain. I returned home a broken man. I was taken to the hospital where part of my stomach was cut out and all my teeth had to be pulled out., The two years which I spent in concentration camp, I was completely separated from my family. My wife and my sons were not allowed to come and visit me. We are considerably young people and had to go through so much in our lives. When the second World War broke out we escaped from Riga. On the way we were shot at and bombarded from planes,-until we reached Russia.'I volunteered to the army and went to the front, where I was decorated four times for bravery. I spent four years in the army. In 1946 we returned home to Riga where we found that our immediate families had been shot and destroyed. In the same year my first son was born. We hope that he and his wife and their 10 mo. old baby will be able to join us here in Israel. We also hope that it will not take them as long as it took us to receive an exit visa because after all, now they have a father, a mother and a brother here in Israel. There is a lot that I can write you about the Jewish people and their lives in Soviet Russia, but it is hard for me to describe their lives because I'm not a writer; I'm just a plain ordinary human being, an engraver, 52 years old. We will never forget how the Jewish writers and artists have been exiled to Siberia. How fathers nnd mothers were separated, and children were separated from parents, all because they loved our nation, their people, our lan' guagc and culture. Thousands and tens of thousands of Jews died from hunger and sickness. Being today in Israel, in our land, nothing scares us. We are not afraid of anything and anybody. I'm sure we will overcome all diffi. culties. And if the Soviets would not agitate and encourage our Arab neighbors, things" would be much nicer and easier. We are ready at anytime to protect ourselves and to repel any anti-Semitic aggressor . . . be it Arabs or Soviets, The Soviets understand t$s and they know it well. The oppressed nations—Be it Ukranian, or Latvian, or Romanian, Polish or Czech, are not friends of Communism.

Editor's Note: During a recent trip to Israel and Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Meyer Katzman visited in Vienna with a group of Russian Jews en route to Israel. The following excerpts, - are from a letter Mr. Katzman received this week from one of those Uussion Jews now living in Israel. The letter was written in Yiddish and translated for the Jewish Press by Walter Fiedman. Because the writer still has family in Russia, he must remain anonymous. His 'story however, should be of interest to all. • • * Shalom to the dear Katzman family: You will wonder what kind of a letter this is and from whom. I was among the Jews in Vienna. We sat together by one table with our wives. You gave me your calling card and asked me that I should write you a letter after I arrive in Israel. It has already been a month since our p small family which' consists of three people, settled down thirty kilometers from Haifa. It is a nice hamlet. A hamlet which is getting built up and is getting bigger. At this moment it consists of about 10,000 people. We received a good three room apartment. I started to work at my trade as an engraver. A watchmaker who lives in Migdal Haemek for 10 years took me into his business. Together we share -the bills. The store isn't big, therefore our expenses are small too. My wife is learning Hebrew in Ulpan. In September she will complete her learning and will be able to get a job. Our 14 year old son is enrolled in a four year mechanics school whero'he will graduate as a machine mechanic. Dear friend. We write you because we know that you have put a lot of effort and financial help to support our land. The beautiful homes, apartments didn't fall from the blue skies. We are thankful and wish you many years of happiness. My wife and I still don't believe the reality. It is already a month that we are in Israel and we can't forget what we had to go through under the communists and anti-Semitic tyranny. 'In 1959 I was arrested and sent to Siberia because I love our nation and was engraving Jewish and Hebrew words. After spending two years in a concentration camp in Siberia, I became deathly ill.

TEL AVIV (JTA) - Israeli forces virtually wiped out the terrorist gang responsible for tho July 7 fatal rocket attack on Petach Tikvah in a brief battle near the banks of the Jordan River July 15. Five of the gang were killed outrighf and a, sixth died of wounds. A seventh member of the gang may have escaped. Maps of Petach Tikvah and the surrounding area were found on the b o d i e s confirming that these were the terrorists who fired the Katyusha rockets which killed three elderly women and a five-year-old girl in Petach .Tikvah 3 weeks ago. A military spokesman said the gang had been hiding out since the' attack in an effort to avoid detection. Assuming the man-hunt was over, they made for tho Jordan River hoping to cross it after dark. They were intercepted by an Israeli patrol.

Omaha—The plight of Soviet Jews will be the subject of a special summer activity program sponsored by Creighton University. The program wUl be held at 8 p.m., August 5 in Room BA 113 on the Creighton Campus. Creighton University asked Harold Adler, Anti-Defamation League regional director, to arrange and moderate the meeting. A new film, Soviet Jews: A Culture in Peril, will be shown and a special taped interview with Soviet Jews upon their arrival in Israel will also be heard, The new 27-minute film is a CBS-TV news special with Stuart Novins, former Moscow Bureau Chief. It traces tho 2,000 year old history of the Jewish people in what is now the U.S.S.R. Particular emphasis is on the past 50 years, using rare news reel footage and still photographs. Mr. Novins examines the lingering anti-Semitism within the Soviet Union. He proves the causes of the conflict between Socialism and Judaism and, in an interview with a recent emigree from the U.S.S.R.," the extent of Jewish identity permitted by Soviet authorities and the reason why so many Jews continue their battle for emigration to Israel. The program is open to the public.

Brazil Bans 'Mein Kampf' Sao Paulo (JTA)-Hi tier's "Mein Kampf" was banned in Brazil July 22 on grounds that It "provokes hatred against the Jewish people" and contains "propaganda fomenting racial discrimination." The ban was Issued by Minister of Justice Alfredo Buzaid who ordered all copies of the book seized at bookstores and the publisher's office. The • ban prohibits the publication, circulation, distribution or sale of the book Hitler wrote while in prison In the 1920s which later became the Bible-of the Nazi Party. Buzaid said that Hitler's doctrine, e s p o u s e d in "Mein Kampf" was responsible for World War II and opened the way to genocide. He noted that Brazilian law does not tolerate war propaganda, subversion or prejudice against any race,'religion or class. A Brazilian law of October, 1956, provides penalties for genocide or incitement to genocide.

Would You Believe By CARL ALPERT • Haifa—There's no place like Israel for the odd, fascinating, interesting, exotic, unexpected and unsual in the day's news. For example, take the following fistful from recent press reports: To Catch a Thief: B r i n k ' s which maintains a fleet of armored cars for t r a n s p o r t of large sums of money to banks and businesses in Israel, has named a confessed bank robber to manage its Israel office. He Is Yaacov Eliav, former leader of the underground Irgun, and twice arrested by the British C.I.D, for the very crime he now-seeks to prevent. Alpert Now You Can See Them, Now You Don't. From the label of Anseliiie hand-cream, made in Israel: "Reduces chapping of the hands and makes them disappear." Heavy Industry: The Israel Electric Corporation explained the frequent interruptions to the country's power supply on T h u r s d a y nights: heavy overload due to Thursday evening baking of Shabbat cakes by housewives all over the nation." Israeli Mothers: Complaint of a new immigrant doctor in a public clinic: "I'm not a doctor; I'm a clerk. The, mothers come in with their children and tell me what type of medicine I should prescribe."

Threat to Culture: "Deeply shocked . . . by the barbarous act", was the indignant complaint of an Israeli in his letter to the editor. The horrible deed was the cutting off of the last bars of a Brahms Concerto to meet the scheduled time for a news broadcast. Handicap. He taught marine research at an Argentine military academy, where he was treated with respect. He immigrated to Israel, and they smiled on his arrival. They l a u g h whenever he signs a document or introduces himself. He has now studied Hebrew, but people think he's joking when he applies for a job. His name: Moshe Dayan. Treasury Gives Diet Advice: Every bottle of imported whiskey that an Israeli drinks means a healthy income for the Treasury from the excise tax. And every egg be cats means a net loss, since the production of eggs is subsidized. The Ministry of Finance recommends menus accordingly. Immoral Conduct: Elyahu Rokeah, 25, was fined IL.400'irt a Tel-Aviv Magistrate's court for paying an account with a forged stolen cheque. The complainant: a prostitute whom he had paid for services rendered. Kidnapping, Israeli Style: The judge stared at the delicate little lady who was charged with detaining the husky fellow against his will. The latter was a TV technician who had been called to repair her set. When be found that ber insurance warranty had expired he started to leave. She locked the door. "You're not leaving here until you fix that set." Which he did, and then complained to the police.

Tfshah B'Av, July 31 Tishah B'Av is a sad day on the calendar of the Jew. It Is a day which gives expression to the grief of Jews of all times and in all places in remembering the tragedies recorded in the history of the Jewish people. We mourn the loss of the land, the destruction of the ancient Temples, the centuries of homeless wandering; of persecution and intolerance to which our" people have been subjected. Tishah B'Av summons the world to review the tragedies that have confronted the Jewish people; the trials and tribulations during the centuries of the Diaspora. Tishah B'Av summons modern Jews to ponder the steadfast loyalty of their forefathers to Judaism. To reflect on the heritage that has been preserved and handed on at a great cost in lives and tears. Tishah B'Av should also stir the Jew to a keener concern for the Jews in our time who are victims of persecution. It bids us to live up to our responsibilities to ourselves and to others. Tishah B'Av is not a happy holiday, but it would be sadder if we ever allow ourselves to forget.

That the Jewish Community Center now and during the implementation of these recommendations consider. leasing of recreational facilities from existing community buildings such as Beth El, YMCA, schools, etc., for gymnasium and swimming programs. Most members expressed a concern not to overbuild and wish to make as much use as possible from facilities that are available. "4. That a m p l e space be planned for future expansion should the Community wish to add a gymnasium and/or swimming pool at a later time. This, of course, must be based upon clear and c e r t a i n needs that would be determined by a future planning committee. "5. That an immediate search be made to lease an existing building for temporary use as a Jewish Community Center with relocation in January 1972 as a target date. An alternate temporary solution would be to extend the lease with Beth El Jacob until such time as a new structure is available."

With his wife, the former Lenore Wolfson of Omaha, Mr, R i c h t e r is traveling across country exchanging ideas with local groups about successful techniques and projects to publicize the plight of Soviet Jewry and to aid them in their quests for emmigration. Write Letters Richter urged the O m a h a young people to write to their congressmen and senators urging co-sponsorship for the Koch bill in the House of Representatives which would provide 30,000 emergency jtfSS&sfor Soviet Jews.

Arabs Outnumber Israel 6-1 in Jets Washington (JTA) - State Department officials conceded that Sen. Henry M. Jackson was correct when he said the Arab states . outnumbered Israel six to one in jet aircraft but maintained that the pilot-toaircraft ratio "sharply fav ors" the Israelis. They suggested that the Egyptians had the preponderance of planes but not enough pilots trained to fly them. They refused to speculate whether the large number of Russian pilots in E g y p t changed the'ratio substantially. Sen. Jackson, a Washington Democrat, said that there were 200 trained Soviet pilots in Egypt and 100 Russians of Admiral and General rank in that country. The officials said that his figures for high-ranking Soviet officers-'and combat pilots were on the high side but agreed with his report of COO Soviet supersonic jets in Egypt and Syria. They said there was nothing new in those figures, .The officials maintained that this Soviet pilots were in Egypt for training purposes but .have been known to fly actual combat missions before the Suez cease-fire went into effect last Aug. 8.
