Israel Issues New Population Statistics Jerusalem (JTA)—The Central -Bureau of Statistics announces that Israel's population now stands at 3,062,000 of which 2,610,000 are listed as Jews and 452,000 as non-Jews. The latest figure represents a population increase of 67,000 Jews and 17,000 non-Jews since last year. 'According to the Bureau, 60 per cent, of the Jewish population growth represented natural increase and 40 per cent immigration. The growth of the nonJewish population was almost entirely by natural increase.

Eban Responds To Protestors Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban sharply, condemned the demonstration by the radical Jewish students. Addressing a m e e t i n g of more than 1,000 young 'Jews who had visited Israel this summer, Eban said the demonstration "was a discourtesy to the State of Israel." Eban told the young people, which included' several of the protesters, that Reagan had been honored forliis contribution to Israel, pot for his political views'. The two, Eban said, should be divorced from one another. He said there were ways in a democracy to v o i c e protest over an elected official and that is in the voting "Booth.

Club Charged {minatory Policies

TUCSON, Ariz. (JTA) — The Tucson J e w i s h Community Council has accused the Tucson Country Club of discriminating > against Jewish applicants. This has resulted in members withdrawing from the club and the canceling of some scheduled, events. While, the president of the country cluh stated that the club has never refused to admit anyone oh the grounds of religion, "a member of the club stamped the membership as •'first class, bigots." Tho problem surfaced this July when an Amateur. Athletic Union diving meet was scheduled at the club, in a let-' ter to the AAU of the United States, Jack J. Sarver, president of the Tucson Jewish ' Community C o u n c i l wrote: "When' an athletic event is scheduled, at such an institution, those who are discriminated against are put in the position of either dropping out of competition or of attending the event at an institution where they are not welcome and which they would not fre' quent except under compul- sion." 1 John B. Kelly Jr., the AAU president wrote back that "it is. not the AAU's job to police these clubs as to whether or not they discriminate in their membership policy." Competition sanctioned by_ the AAU roust pernutf^ahy registered AAU regardless of race, creed or national origin to compete, >Kelly wrote. As a result of publicity about the event, the director of the county parks and recreation department was instructed not to use the Tucson Country Club for county-wide events in the future. •'Last week a new car dealer In Tucson cancelled a cocktail party and previewing of 1972 models that was sched:

I Write as I Phase

Insurance With & Conscience The Vehicle Insurance Office, the VIO was set up in 1965 by the Israel Association of Insurance Companies and operates with invited representation from the Ministries of Finance, Defence, and Transportation. The companies transfer to the VIO each year a set, percentage of their income from policy premiums. Who are the beneficiaries? A pedestrian is hit by a car which does not carry insurance. The driver has no personal resources, and there is no point to suing him. The injured victim is out of luck. A man crossing the street is knocked down and seriously disabled by a car which picks up speed and disappears. There is no one from whom to claim insurance, and a whole family is left with a disabled breadwinner. A child is badly hurt by a car which had been stolen, and the insurance does not apply. Cases like these are taken care of by the VIO. The injured person has no legal claim against the Fund, but as a matter of public conscience, the1 VIO seeks out such cases and makes proper compensation. Payment is for personal injury only, not for property damage.

/^Editorial of the interesting bits of information that came out of the recent Jewish Press Survey was the attitude of readers about this column.

T TooMany Conflicts For many years the Omaha Jewish Federation has been one of the co-sponsors of the annual World Affairs Institute held at UNO. This special lecture series has brought to Omaha many experls on world affairs, and over the years many members of the Jewish community have enjoyed the unique opportunities provided by the Institute, ~ In recent years however, the lectures have been scheduled with apparent disregard of the Jewish holiday calendar. During the past five years there have been a number of lectures on Jewish holidays. Of the four lectures offered this year, two. have been scheduled for the evenings of October 3 and October 10 in conflict with the synagogue observances of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret. It is particularly regrettable since the October 3 program deals with the subject of the Middle East. We find it difficult to believe that these recurring conflicts could not have been avoided. We are disturbed at the University's apparent Insensitivity t o the religious obligations of the Jewish community which co-sponsors the program. It is unreasonable to expect continued support from the Omaha Jewish Federation for Jecturgs which Federation members ar« unable to attend. . We hope that the University will consult the Jewish calendar ' before scheduling future Institute events. Unless conflicts can be avoided, we would seriously question the propriety of continued Federation sponsorship of the lecture series. " '

The Story of One Soviet Family

py in Israel. Until the end of World War II they were satisfied with their life in Kiev. They never thought of leaving the Soviet Union. The man was a highly qualified economist in civilian life and-a Red Army captain during the war. He spent the war years on the battlefront fighting the Nazi armies. His wife, a chemist, volunteered during the war to serve in the armed forces and was sent to the besieged Leningrad which was for months bombarded day and night by the German army. She was decorated for bravery. The old mother was evacuated into tho interior of .the Soviet Union when ,the .Nazis were about to enter Kiev. Her only son was killed on the front.

never knew any differences between Jew and non-Jew. He was completely assimilated. Russian was his language and the Soviet Union was his country. He was, body and soul, a Soviet patriot.ready to give his life for his conuritry. So was his wife who was brought up in a school as a young Communist. Rude Awakening

His rude awakening came soon after he and his, wife returned to Kiev from the front at the end of the war. His wife, still in military uniform of a lieutenant, was standing in a shopping line in a government department store when a man in front of her looked al the war medal she wore and sol!: "Hey Jewess! . . . Where did you pick up this medal? . . . When the war was over, the Did you buy it in, Tashkent?" surviving three members of the (He was implying 'that Jews family were reunited in Kiev. who wear medals for bravery Thsy returned to their former have never been on the battlehome only to discover a change, front, but spent the war years of atmosphere which startled in the distant city of Tashkent, in Soviet.,Asia.) them1 Never before did, "

"It was painful to see the inroads anti-Semitism was making among ignorant nonJews in Kiev, many of whom were not .averse to collaborating with' the Nazis during .the occupation of, the city. Even more painful was the fact that . nothing was undertaken by the authorities to check the growing anti-Semitic atmosphere," The disappointed Soviet excaptain continued, we began to, thing of emigrating' from the Soviet Union.

Insurance With a Conscience By Carl Alpert Haifa—Not long ago an. Israeli was badly injured in an automobile accident. He was one of the' thousands who are struck down by road accidents annually. The offending car carried-proper insurance, and the victim's at' torriey filed claim against the. company for the personal injuries sustained by his client. When the case came up in court the lawyer for the insurance company pleaded that the policy was valid only when • the car was being used for, the-business p u r p o s e s for J Alpert which it was registered—and indeed, the policy did say so. In this instance an employee of the car's owner was driving it, not In line of duty, but for personal and private use. Hence the insurance did not cover the ac, cident, the company refused to pay, and the court had no choice but to uphold the insurance company's stand. , The' hapless victim fought the case up to the ~ ..Supreme Court, but the law was against him, In their verdict, the Supreme Court justices made some very acid remarks about the responsibility of the insurance companies to the • public even beyond the narrow restrictions written inW the fine print of their policies. As a result of the publicity given t o that , obiter dictum, the public, and the judges too, learned of the existence of a unique assistance fund which had been operating, without fanfare. Its purpose: to help accident victims who were left without insurance protection.

The Vehicle Insurance Office, the VIO was set up in 1965 by the Israel Association of Insurance Companies and operates with invited representation "from the Ministries of Finance, Defence, and Transportation. The; companies transfer to the VIO each year a set. percentage of their income from, policy premiums. Who are the beneficiaries? • .. A pedestrian is hit by a car which does not carry insurance. The driver has no personal resources, and there is no point to suing him, The injured victim is out of luck. A man Crossing the street is knocked down and seriously disabled by a car which picks up speed and disappears. There is no one from whom to claim insurance, and a whole family is left with a disabled breadwinner. A child is badly hurt by a car which had been stolen, and the insurance does not apply. Cases like these are taken care of by the VIO. The injured person has no legal claim against'the Fund, but as a matter of public conscience, the VIO seeks out such cases and makes proper compensation. Payment is for personal injury only, not for property damage, In .1970 there were over 100 cases dealt with by the office, of which 61 were hit-andrun victims. The VIO now has assets of over IL.6,O00,QO0, contributed by the insurance companies, land compensation paid out has thus far totalled * only about one million, leaving a comfortable cushion. ' , Of late the Fund has begun to publicize its existence, so that every justifiable claim will have an address to which to turn, when the in- surance does not c o v e r .

By AMOS BEN-VERED Jerusalem-His submachine gun ready, pointed waist high; the grey-clad soldier kept guard over the 100-strong group ,of men and women at Kloten Airport near Zurich. —"Exciting, isn't it?!i a male^oice said.-.','As— •for me, I find it frightening," a tall, dark' haired woman replied. Immediately the woman, Mrs. Sylvia Nosat"sky.from QUeens, New York, vn her way to Israel, found herself the target of vehement ' '.attack from "several.Israelis in the group of 'waiting passengers. "I find it reassuring," one .young Israeli girl exclaimed.

All'passengers and crew members .were killed in that explosion over Switzerland. •

THE JEWISH

Remember to Forget! By DAVID SCHWARTZ »' Now tt can be told. At Princeton University, the officers would often get a telephone call from a man who would ask "Can you give me the address, please, of Dr. Albert Einstein?" "•'""The authorities never asked who the questioner was. They knew. It was Dr. Einstein himself. They knew it was one of those days when the professor couldn't find his way home. He had forgotten the address. Einstein didn't have a. good memory for addresses. There was old Horace Greeley, the great editor, who would always ask his press fore• man, if he, Greeley, had gone out to lunch yet. It is told of the famous Jewish philosopher,. Moses Mendelssohn, that one time when he came home, the servant who was in another room and thinking he was a stranger, called . out,. "Dr. Mendelssohn is not at home." Schwartz < "All right," said Mendelssohn, "I'll come back some other time" and he turned'around and walked away. The minds of the genius are on many things. They forget less Important things. Ifyou want to create, you've got to be good at forgetting. When Thomas Paine took to writing "Common Sense," which did ' so much to bring about American independence, he said, "Thereare times when you throw all books aside, and forget all that has been said about a subject and think about it as though no one had ever thought about it before." According to the rabbis, the embryo child has a lot of knowt edge, but when it is born an angel touches its forehead and it for.. gets everything. . ' The child is so much sweeter, friendlier, less prejudiced and less inhibited because it has no memories. . All memories are a kind of going backward when we should . be going forward. To be sure, memories at times, do have a practical valne. That is why the computer has become so important. But the computer will never surpass man, because man can forget too. ,

World News Briefs Mixed Marriages New York (JTA)—The Central Conference of American Rabbis has announced a research program to determine the Jewish commitment of mixed marriages and the Jewish education provided by the-parents for the children of such unions. . Officials of the Reform rabbinic association stressed.lhatthe recent debate at the -group's 82nd annual convention in no way altered the CCAR's stand regarding such marriages, which is that they are "contrary to Jewish tradition and should therefore be discouraged." Those favoring a stronger CCAR position, argue that the children of mixed marriages at best receive a minimal Jewish education and that the commitment to Judaism in such homes remains peripheral. They further arguo that by officiating at such ceremonies the rabbi merely salves the religious conscience of the couple to satisfy parents and grandparents. It is-estimated that 100 Reform rabbis officiate at mixed marriages.

Those favoring more leniency are concerned that disappointed couples will be "turned' away" completely from Judaism'and Jewish identity. . ..— :_, Russia Bars Israeli Doctors . Tel Aviv (JTA)—The Israeli Anti-Tuberculosis. League lodged a strong protest with its parent body over the refusal of Soviet authorities to allow Israeli physicians to attend tha International Tuberculosis Conference in Moscow. . ' The Soviets had given the International Union Against Tuberculosis assurances that the Israeli delegation would be admitted and allowed the names >of Israeli doctors to be included on the printed program of speakers. But at the last minute, no visas were issued'to the Israelis. A spokesman for the League said the Russian authorities employed a familiar tactic of hedging on visas until it was too late to move the site of the conference to another country.

AJCpMmil'feeBs "Family" Plan Weighing Bigotry in the Balance , By George Friedman, JTA Staff Reporter •-„ CBS-TV's bigotry-baiter, "AH in the Family," was the toprated network video series in a recent audience-measurement poll. At the a n n u a l Emmy • Awards "Family" copped the statuettes for best comedy series, best new series and best comedic actress. One of the most significant aspects of the fast rise to the top of "All in the Family," which has been' renewed for next.season, has been the virtual absence of public criticism from minority-conscious organizations, especially J e w i s h groups. *ut Jhere has been behind-the-scenes action in the wake of "All in the Family's" success. On April 27, the American Jewish Committee hosted an unpublicized twohour conference in New York with leaders of various minority-oriented groups, i The participants, in addition to AJCommittee representatives, included spokesmen for the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith; the Urban Coalition, the National Conference of Christians and Jews, the City Commission on Human Rights, the* Neighborhood Action Program, the Council of Churches of the City of New York, the W i l l i a m s b u r g (Brooklyn) YM-YWHA, the: A.
