The interview was conducted at his 1,100-acre farm in Caruthers, California, a fanning community southwest of Fresno. According to the interview, McAfee went to Israel originally "for religious purposes, to f o l l o w the footsteps of Christ." When he first came to Israel some 6 years ago he claims he found the kibbutzim an expression of the "Christian" way of life. When he returned 6 years ago and again three years later "there was a decline in h u m a n relationships," he told Gustaitis. "Originally the kibbutz was Israel. Now it's a tool of the capitalistic structure." Hitler According to the interview,' McAfee was so bitter at what he saw in Israel during his subsequent return visits that he offered his help, to Syria. The Syrians, he told Gustaitis, put him to work as a spy. Gustaitis not s that as McAfee "talked of his disillusionment in Israel, McAfee's face reddened, his mouth tightened, and he shouted: "Hitler learned the word racism from a Jewish whore who gave him syphilis. He hated Jews from his youth because of their racism and he hated them on a racist basis, too." Gustaitis, who described McAfee ad "a living paradox," noted that the dairy farmer is "an opponent of the Vietnam war," "a professed Communist who is proud of the shrewd way he practices capitalism," and as "an i d e a l i s t who bounced around the world trying to start cooperatives yet is viewed by his neighbors as a

Mr. Newman refused to accept the predic, tion about the " v a n i s h i n g American Jew." "I believe a valid Jewish life can be lived in the diaspora —in pmaha. The things we are . doing here attests to that; and _ I think we can be proud of 'what we have accomplished," he said. Mr. Newman expressed his thanks to his fellow officers, the members of the executive committee and offered a spe, cial word of appreciation for the cooperation-of the rabbis during his term as president. Be also expressed his gratitude to the late Paul VerejL * former Executive Director of ' the Federation, "who laid the foundation for many things we are accomplishing today."

vide for "bigger and broader programs" of Jewish education. "Children must know who they arc; why they are Jews; what it means to be a Jew and how to be a Jew," he said. He expressed the hope that the Jewish Federation could "do a better job of involving young people and women in the decision making processes." He also jjrged a greater effort by the organized Jewish community "to fulfill its responsibilities to the general community.". In his closing remarks, he referred to the biblical quotation "I have set before thee life and death; the blessings and the curse; therefore choose life that thou may live—thou and thy seed." Mr, Newman said, "As Jews, we choose life by study, living and loving Judaism; by being positive, expansive, optimistic Jews. If we do this; we will live in the future of Jews.

Sidelines By Mickey Gereffck One of my big difficulties in t objective reporting is that I'm ' rarely objective about anything. And one of the big difficulties of an objective news report is that is rarely tells the whole story. •;. Take the annual Federation meeting for instance. In a news. story I could tell you that some 200 people attended. But in this column I can tell you that among those who did not attend were large numbers of the 20-40 age group. It was for the benefit of this age group who objected to the time and expense of a dinner that the .,, dinner portion of the meeting was dropped. Wliy then, did they stay- away in such large numbers? It was a good meeting. The reports from the committee chairmen were brief and hon; est; revealing failures as well as successes. Briefly, these ; were some of the reports: Al Abramson, Dr. S h e r Home: Great' strides being .made with the LOVE program; redecoration at the Home be; gins next week; a'tiew activi'L ties director has been hired and the hospital wing will have top priority - attention in the : coming year. . Bob Newman, Esther K. Newman Camp: A number of specialized programs were held at camp, however, enrollment for' the regular summer camp program was down. Efforts are being made to find out why. Dick ~ Fellman, Community Relations Committee: The 24 member board has been appointed and the first meeting of the newly organized group will

be held next week. Morris Fellman, Bureau of Jewish Education: A comprehensive study on the feasibility of Day Schools is underway. Applications are being screened for the Youth Pilgrimage programs to Israel. Many participated in a successful program of adult education. Leonard Goldstein, chairman 1972 J e w i s h Philanthropies Campaign: Early results show marked increases. 540 cards completed to-date have brought $638,538 representing $100,000 more than the same cards brought in 1971. Harlan Noddle, Jewish Press: A number of new ideas are being explored to improve the paper; suggestions from readers are encouraged. Alvin Ross, Jewish Family Service: Adoptions are down, however 190 individual counseling cases were handled, last year. -.,. * The major report, and the one which prompted the most questions and discussion was presented by Charles Monasee, chairman of the New Jewish Community Center Study Committee. Mr. Monasee reviewed'" the findings of the 200 people involved in the Center Study. He reported that a limited fund drive among major contributors resulted in pledges of ?1,100,000. In answer to a ques-' tion it was revealed that 8 gifts accounted for that total.

Black Mayor Assails Anti-Israel Resolution

Nick N e w m a n presented some rather special remarks from his vantage point as Federation president, (reported objectively elsewhere in this issue.) Charlotte and Morley Zipursky received a well-deserved tribute for their efforts in the 1970 and 1971 campaigns, (also reported elsewhere — objectively.) There was election of officers and election of new members to the Executive Committee; and here I'd like not to be objective. It s e e m e d to me that the nominations made from the floor were not representative of the entire community. Of the 14 nominees, only two were under age 40, and neither were elected. (Things might have been different if the 20-40 age group had been there.) Those elected are capable and qualified people, and I don't questjon the wisdom of their selection. But I'm wondering if there isn't a better way for the Board of Governors to function. Another observation. While the committee chairmen represented all age groups and included a number, of new faces

in terms of Federation leadership, the group was entirely male. A number of w o m e n hold seats on the Federation board, yet no woman held the position of committee chairman.

specifically requesting their friends not to drop in for a visit on Passover; there is no room except for those especially Invited. For the visitor who takes part, it is an unusual experience. The kibbutz emphasizes the Seder as drama. There is choral singing and declamation and pageantry, woven about the story and the traditional symbols of the matzo and the four glasses of wine. And each year there is a further blending of the contemporary relevance with the historic traditional.

Omaha Rabbis Issue Passover Appeals To AH Beth El Members: I write this with a great sense of urgency. And I ask you to read these few lines in the same spirit—even though I cannot write each of our people in my own hand, as I would llke^tor ~~ The United Jewish Appeal (in Omaha the Jewish Philanthropies) has been with us for a very long time. The world being what it is, it will be with us and with our children indefinitely. Because those who have deprived Jews and hound* ed them, destroyed mental and physical health, stifled religious and spiritual expression, and others who attack with booby traps, bombs and rockets—these are not the ones who pay for the transportation, the training and rehabilitation and the-security of our brothers. We are called upon to doit. We are faced now with great burdens but are offered great opportunities.. Miraculously, the chained Jews of the Soviet Union are coming in to Israel- in an unexpected stream. I call upon you, with the utmost sense of urgency, to discuss "j)f this.with your family, even at the Seder.. table, perhaps especially at the Seder table. This emergency must be met with a soaring spirit of sacrifice. Contributions to the Jewish Philanthorpies must come from sacrificial family giving.

No one who is a Jew may leave himself out. This historic opportunity to rescue Jews may never come again. A happy Pesah for us must notjeave the hopes of other Jews unfulfilled. — Rabbi Myer S. Krlpke Beth Israel Synagogue Dear Congregant: . I write to you regarding the most urgent matter that faces our Jewish community at this time. ' The Philanthropies Campaign is now inprogress. The needs are greater than ever. The State of Israel is shouldering an added and welcome burden this year, and that is, the absorption of an expected 35,000 Jewish immigrants from Russia. While this is a welcome burden, it carries -with it tremendous added financial responsibilities. This, of Course, is in addition to the ongoing economic and security needs that we dare not neglect. «»"

in the milzvah of giving to the 1972 philanthropies drive. Rabbi Isaac Nadoff Beth Israel Synagogue Dear Friend: There is a world's distance between "knowing" and "accepting." So often we know our duty but evade it. Sometimes, the effects are not consequential. ' But our response this year to our Jewish Philanthropies is of the ultimate consequence. It has to do with human life and freedom for our people all over the world and especially in Russia, Israel and the United States. There can be no evasion of history. We live in this hour of duty— a duty which, thank God, we have the resources .and means to meet. Our synagogue life is dedicated only partially to prayer. We dare no$ pray unless we be willing to act. We are partners with God in bringing peace, freedom and goodness to our world. 1 beg you to respond fully to our Jewish Philanthropies. Be yourself the answer to our prayers for our fellow Jews. ' / ^ Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks Temple Israel

, I am turning to every member at Beth Israel Synagogue with a personal plea to respond generously. The needs of the hour dictate that we rise to our fullest stature in this trying time for the State of Israel. I hope that we will be able to point to a 100 per cent response among our members. Every one of us should have a share

Discrimination in Reverse By BENJAMIN R. EPSTEIN National Director, AntiDefamation League of B'nal B'rith Four months ago, at the AntiD e f a m a t i o n League's fiftyeighth annual meeting, my report of a "priority survey" among our own leaders across : the nation showed them to be I primarily concerned with antiSemitism, Israel, Jewish youth, I the general image of the Jews rand Soviet Jewry. "Jews; turnf ing Inward" was the way most newspapers h e a d l i n e d the : story. ' But at the same meeting;

ADL reaffirmed its loflg-standing support of the principle of integrated housing and urged federal, state and local governments to continue to implement scatter-site housing designed to accomplish integration. Describing the apathy of Americans toward the civil rights struggle as alarming, the resolution declared that "while Jews engage in rebuilding and reinvigorating their own traditions, it is imperative that they rededicate4 themselves to the basic civil rights problems of A m e r i c a as a whole." .

It Is discriminatory to bar a man because of his religion, race or national origin; it li jnst as discriminatory, however, to'select a man for those reasons. It is a disservice to all ethnic and racial groups, as well as to American institutions, to substitute a number's game for real, effective'and much needed change.

Contradictory ?\ Not for an agency whose primary goal is to end discrimination against Jews and whose ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment for all citizens alike. As has been said many times, the security of Jews is inextricably entwined with the security of all other minority groups in tbis country. It wasi this;realizationthat made Jews and Jewish organizations leaders of the c i v i l rights movement ldng before it had a name. We hammered away at restrictive covenants and gentlemen's agreements in real estate, at quota systems In colleges, and at discriminatory employment practices. We said that in a democracy, individual merit—and not religion, race or national origin—must be the criterion for acceptance. ' Still believing that, we cannot remain silent in the face of growing signs of discrimination in reverse.

The best principal for a New York City. school that 45 per cent black, 35 per cent Puerto ' Rican, and 20 per cent white is the person best qualified on individual merit, not skin color. The same must be true, however, in schools which are predominantly white. Without a merit system, we would inevitably lower standards to the detriment of all. The answer lies not in a revival of quota systems, this time issued under the' false banner of "equal opportunity," but in providing real opportunity to compete equally through i m p r o v e d ; schools, special training, expansion of free . higher education for the qualified but economically -deprived, and the abolishment of discriminatory practices. Anything less is fraudulent and a cruel hoax on people who have waited too long to be tricked into an instant and inadequate solution to a longterm and serious problem.

Discovery—Poor Jews! By S. ELLY ROSEN Executive Director Association of Jewish AntiPoverty Workers ForTnahy years the scope and dimensions of Jewish poverty has been growing in urban Centers such as New York City —the "inner-cities" of America. In 1965, when the United States government d e c l a r e d "war on poverty," and the federal Office of Economic Opportunity initiated Community Action Programs throughout the country, many- Jews living in the poverty stricken transitional neighborhoods of New York City felt a need to participate . in these programs in an attempt to create services to help their poor Jewish neighbors. thus began a grassroots (local community) awareness of the fact that, yes, we also had our share of poor people, and . that something must be done to help them. . In June of 1971, using statistics prepared by Ann Wolf and those contained in a study by the Columbia School of Social Work, I testified at a Congressional hearing on Manpower and Poverty. My testimony exposed the extent of Jewish poverty as well as the fact of discrimination against Jews in the City's poverty program. And suddenly—the Jewish poor were in the general news media, and on the priority agenda of government agencies and the major Jewish organizations. Statistics show that there are between 350-400,000 Jews in the city of New York alone who . have annual incomes of below

$3,800. But Jewish poverty Is invisible and silent. When I first made that statement last June, I didn't know, to a great extent, who and where are the Jewish poor. Since that time, the Association of Jewish Anti-Poverty Workers, created for the specific purpose of determining and advocating the needs of the Jewish poor, has been looking for them in all five boroughs of t h e City. Unfortunately, we have found great numbers of proud poverty stricken Jews. Who Are The Jewish Poor? It is said that 60 per cent of the Jewish poor are the elderly. Mr. and Mrs. Chaim Blumeenthal l i v e in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Eighty-six year old Blumenthal and his 84-year-old wife, Sarah, live on his Social Security benefits of $1,380 a year. Of f 115 a month, Blumenthal pays $60 a month rent for a four-room apartment in which they've lived for 38 years. After paying the telephone, gas and electric bills they are left with |35 a month. How does one live on thta? It's no great problem if you can't go out shopping more than once a week because the streets and hallways are crowded with junkies and teen-age gangs. If you go shopping once a week and are too old to carry home more than one bag of groceries, you manage to live on what's in the bag, ' In an urban center like New York City-it is estimated that there is a Hassidic population of 90,000. Because of religious ties and needs, the Hassidic poor stay within a community.

American Jewish Women Becoming More Fertile Fertility among American Jewish wives ap• pears tortjrlncreasinjrand "may beyreacMng levels adequate to insure replacement" of the Jewish community—if there are no "heavy rates of loss through inter-marriage or assimilation, or both," according to an expert on Jewish demography. That conclusion has been offered by Dr. Sidney Goldstein, professor of sociology and director of the population studies and training center at Brown University. . Or. Goldstein reported that because of its low growth rate and the limited migration to the United States of no more than 4,000 ta 5,000 Jews per year, the American Jewish population has remained so stable—compared with other groups and with the American population as a whole—as to lead to concern that '.'the Jewish population may actually decline numerically if loss through intermarriage shows any significant increase." A key problem in determining exactly what is happening to American Jews numerically is the absence of reliable data on a national scaled Meanwhile, he said, some efforts in the direction of collecting better information on American Jewish fertility patterns is possible by use of data from local Jewish community surveys. He cited one such study of the Jewish population of Greater Springfield, Mass., which he directed in 1966-67. He found 11,000 Jews among Springfield's 175,000 residents. About half of Springfield's Jews were third generation Americans. The study was based on interviews with a random sample of 862 Jewish households, plus another 36 households identified as newly-established Jewish units in the community. The 1960 U.S. Census data for Greater Springfield showed that among the white population, there were 659 children under five years of age per 1,000 women aged 20 to 44. The Jewish population §ludy found 418 Jewish children, a very large difference which Dr. Goldstein said testified "to the significantly lower fertility of Jews."

Happy Passover to All

and Customer^-

In additioji to fertility, the Jewish popula-_ tion also differs from the general population in educational achievement. Fertility and education are related in that higher education gen-. ' erally has been associated with lower fertility. The Springfield study showed, however, that the highest completed fertility—the number of children Jewish women in their child-bearing period plan to have—is now "observed or expected among those with a college degree," Dr. Goldstein reported. He added that "even though Jewish fertility may remain below that of the non-Jewish pop. ulation and not too high above the replacement "level, the higher levels achieved and expected by the college educated suggest that there is little .immediate likelihood of sharp declines in Jewish fertility to the low levels reached among those producing their families in the depression years.' "

Happy Passover

Reviewing the available data, Dr. Goldstein concluded that there is an overall trend toward somewhat larger Jewish families at the present time. He added, "the trend is further evidenced in the sharp declines in the proportion either having ho children or only one child and the increase in the three and four-child family" among American Jews. „

He reported that Jews continue to have '.'the highest proportion of any segment" of the American population who practice birth control "and who use the most efficient methods" which permits them to maintain "the-lower" than average" birth rates compared to other religious groups. But it has not prevented younger Jewish women "from having more children than did older cohorts. As a result of this change,"' he declared, "Jewish fertility among those under 45, judged by children already born and the additional number expected, may be reaching levels adequate to insure replacement" of the American Jewish population "if the total number are not dissipated by heavy rates of loss through intermarriage or assimilation or both."

Campaign Rhetoric?

e»

By HAROLD ADLER Omaha JCRC Director As candidates~for~the~presidency scurry about the country, we tend to become suspi- clous of various statements and ; proposals made . by those seeking support in vario u s primaries. .Many of us become very callous and tend to ignore many of these proposals as merely campaign rhetoric. A proposal or Adler • c o n c e p t has ; been Introduced which bears • our support and which we must •not aUow to become "only campaign rhetoric." A concept has j been Introduced into the V. S. j Senate which calls tupon the U. S. Government to financially raid the State of Israel in absorbing the large influx of So, viet Jews.

This concept was first publicized by Senator Edmund -Muskie and has-now been - introduced as a bi-partjsan bill by Senators Muskie, Ribicoff, Javits, Schweitzer. In addition, Senator Henry M. Jackson has introduced legislation — "The Soviet Jewish Refugee Relief Bill of 1972"-whereby 250 million dollars would be provided for a two-year assistance program for Israel to resettle persecuted Jews of the Soviet Union. This bill is in addition to the bi-partisan bill mention previously. Should current immigration of Soviet Jews to Israel continue along the same patterns as indicated by the 1971 immigration, it would mean an influx of about 40,000 to 60,000 refugees coming to Israel from Russia alone during 1972. Senator Muskie pointed out that, "because of our tradition of assisting refugees—particularly those fleeing from religious

persecution — and because of our clear self-interest in the -health - and -well-being _oJLJSi rael, we must help with the resettlement of these thousands of homeless people who are seeking a new life in Israel. The only way this can be done is for .Congress to authorize and appropriate funds for this purpose." It does not'take too much political savvy to .anticipate some of the questions that will be raised as they are the ones that are always raised when it comes to providing assistance to Israel. Will it upset the Arab nations and U. S. relationships? What will the Soviet Union say? Can we afford to help these Jewish refugees? Why should ' we help Israel when they have all the J e w s throughout - the world to help them? We must interpret to our fellow citizens and our lawmakers that there are several precedents for the United S t a t e s Government to provide such assistance for the resettlement of refugees from political and religious persecution. Since World War II, we have contributed more than $2.8 billion to refugee assistance directly or through intergovernmental organizations. We have spent close to $600,000,000 to assist Cuban refugees. From 1947 to 1951, we contributed $237,000,000 to the international Refugee Organization. In the early 1950's we contributed over $85,000,000 to aid Korean refugees, and for Arab refugees, we have contributed more than $500,000,000.

Mentally Sound Moscow Jew Committed toMental Institution •New York (JTA)-Yan Krilski, a 20-year-old Moscow Jew, was committed to a mental institution by a Moscow court last.. week even though a psychiatrist found him mentally sound, it was learned from J e w i s h sources in the Soviet Union. The sources said Krilski stood trial on March 15-16 at a court in the Sokolniki district on charges of assault arising from an incident with a drunken man last October, According to the sources his commitment was ordered on grounds that he is a "militant Zionist." Commitment to a mental institution carries no time limit. The sources said that Krilski and liis girlfriends were accosted by a non-Jew surnamed Boykov. Blows were exchanged

The sources said that Krilski was subjected to a psychiatric examination before the trial and was given a clean bill of health but the court considered his'militant- Zionism grounds for commitment. The sources said that during the pre-trial investigation, Krllski's father quit the Communist Party of which he had b"een a member for 52 years and the entire family applied for exit visas to go to Israel.

Mear-Old Boy By EDWIN EYTAN, CUIEF, JTA EUROPEAN BUREAU (Editor's note: A l*-year-old Jewish student in a J e s u i t : school in Toulouse died last January as a result of blows inflicted by a fellow student during a fight. Edwin Eytan went to Toulouse to get an eye-witness account of the events that led to this tragic death. ,

Two-Part Series Part One

Toulouse, in the southwest of F r a n c e is even in winter a entiling city. I had come to Toulouse, a 90minute flight from Paris, bec a u s e a fourteen-and-a-half year-old boy, Roger Allouche, had died after a school fight. Within a couple of days—while ntost of the circumstances surrounding his death, including its actual physical causes, wtere still unknown — rumors soon started circulating. Some, hinted that the schoolyard fight had not been a "normal" one; a radio station spoke of it as "a lynching;" and a left-wing Jewish organization, MRAP, issued a communique describing the death as "racial murder." Roger Allouche was big for his age, heavy, and strong. His school principal, Jean Rome, described him as an average student, well liked by his schoolmates and teachers but "too much of a teaser;" some of his schoolmates said "we liked him but he was a little bit too tough with us." 1 On that Monday, it was raining. At the' 10 o'clock break the children were playing' in a small covered enclosure. One of the teachers, who was in the*" yard at the time, told the police that he saw Roger snatch another boy's school bag and throw it, like a ball, into a corner. The boy, whose identity is not disclosed because of his age, rushed at Roger and struck him a couple of blows. Where and how, no one seems to have clearly •seen. — -

best men to investigate the story. From their report it seemed clear that the boy had died as a consequence of a school fight and that the Bishop's office was afraid that because of the boy's Jewishness, the story should not c r e a t e some sort of racial incident or current. Trying to avoid anything of this kind, I acceeded to the request and published nothing." .

It was the fact that nothing appeared in the local paper, which first angered and then struck as suspicious the Allouche family. "If nothing is printed it is because they have something to hide," thought the father. That same day he hired a local lawyer, Toulouse's best, Professor Merle Former, dean ol the city's law school, and asked for a new autopsy. (Part Two Next Week)

First Seder in America By Philip Soskls, Executive Director New York Association for New Americans Last Passover, Mrs. Sofia - Tesler locked the doors to their home before the seder began. The door was opened briefly, of course, to allow the Prophet Elijah to enter, but then immediately locked again. "Not that'there was any violent anti-Semitism in our village," Mrs. Tesler says now, •'but we felt it would be better If the people didn't know what we were doing. It was no secret to the gentiles that Jews celebrate Passover, but we didn't want to call attention to Ourselves."

there were seventy 'Jewish families. Forty people returned after the.war; the rest had been' exterminated by. the Nazis. These included Mr. Tesler's first family—wife and five children—who were taken to Auschwitz and never returned. Mrs. Tesler's parents and four brothers were also destroyed. It was Rozalia, the Teslers' 22-year-old d a u g h t e r , who wrote to higher authorities after the Teslers' application for an exit permit has been rejected, She was frightened, she admits, but they were determined to go somewhere where they could live as Jews.

The Tesler's son, Arkadej, 11, is attending a full-time yeshiva in Crown Heights with other newly-arrived Russian boys. "All I could teach him" Mr. Tesler says, were the blessings and the prayers. Here he is getting a complete Jewish education." In addition to the assistance which NYANA has been giving the Tesler girls for their English lessons, ihe agency has also helped with' money for rent, furniture and interim maintenance, and has aided them in obtaining medical and dental s e r v i c e s .

Klich had left the Technical Institute for M e c h a n i c s and Optics, where ho was a student, to teach the Hebrew classes. .He and Motzkin told the authorities that because they have no diplomas they would forego the one-ruble ($1.11) fee they have been charging each student per lesson.

Rabbis Okay Bigamy $77,000 to Probe N.Y. Jewish Poor For Some Israeli Jews JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's Orthodox rabbinate, which governs matters of personal status according to halacha, religious law, permits bigamous marriages in certain-circumstances. Dr. Zerach Warhaftlg, Minister of Religious Affairs, advised ' (he Knesset tbat since 1918 the rabbinate bns granted 802 Jews the right to take second wives although they were neither divorced nor widowed. Israeli criminal law defers to religious law in this matter. It states that a man shall not, be prosecuted for bigamy if his marriage was entered into with the approval of a three-man rabbinical tribunal legally constituted. Dr. Warhaftlg, all Orthodox rabbi representing the National Religious Party, said 24 such marriages were authorized last year. He said permission has been granted when the man's first wife-was an incurable lunatic incapable of signing divorce papers'; when she refused to cohabit with lier-husband, or when she could not conceive and would not accept a divorce.

Jewish Judge Named To Missouri Court

New York (JTA)—The Office of Economic Opportunity, the federal agency based in Washington, has granted the Hasidic Corp, for Urban C o n c e r n s (HCUC) here $77,000 for a oneyear survey of the needs of New York's Jewish poor. Rabbi Sholom-Ber Gorodetsky, chairman of the n e w l y formed HCUC, said he expected the funds to arrive by March 14. Rabbi Gorodetsky is chairman of the Crown Heights Community Corp. and a representative on the city's Council Against Poverty. The rest of the HCUC staff, as of now, consists of David Farber, a poverty worker and a.special assistant in the Human Resources Administration, as executive director; a secretary; a bookkeeper, and two community aides. Rabbi Gorodetsky said that while the hew corporation was originally designed to emphasize the plight of hasidic Jews, it will also deal 'with" the problems of the non-hasidic elderly. While such problems as medical care and social security will be dealt with, the emphasis . will be on poverty, he said. He noted that hasidic families, who earn only around $6-8,000 yearly, havje large families because they reject birth control.

The Rise of Nazism

How Much Did We Know? How much did American Jews know about e Germany prior to the holocaust? More. V *, tfcan we want to admit! « , In spite of our protests that "we didn't know {What was happening there," the pages of the Jewish Press indicate otherwise. Every issue of the Jewish Press throughout '-• the decade of the thirties carried stories of what ,. was happening—clear warnings of what was to ."• come. It would be impossible to reprint the him; dreds of separate stories that appeared during Mthose iO years. In each New Year's edition, was • ' • summary of the previous year in Germany. Frightening and explicit accounts of the growth and direction of Nazism. : A review of the 1930's would be meaningless without reference to these horrendous events. The following is but brief excerpts from-fhe".'* •, yearly summaries; a mere fragment of how 'much we really knew. , "T September II, 1331 .: The phenomenal gain of the National Socialist ' Party in the German Reichstag election in the 'middle of September 1930; and the anti-Jewish riots which occurred on the day the new Reichstag assembled, drew the attention of American j . Jewry to the situation of their German brethren. The program of this party, which is led by Adolph Hitler, bristles with threats against the iJews of Germany. Considerable interest and some misgivings were aroused by the disclosure of the fact that active Hitlerite cells exist in the United States, engaged in preaching the philosophy and defending the policy of the German Fascist movement. »Such 'groups were found in a number of cities, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee. September 30,1932 ' Crippled by an overwhelming burden of debt, > unable to establish* new markets for goods, Germany has been trying politics as her salvation. The Nazis have offered their solution: "The Jews must perish." Observers have-freely predicted dark days for German Jewry. Hitler, with 14,000,000 votes, must sooner or later have actual as well as potential power. In the meantime, Jews in all parts of Germany feel the violence of the Nazis. The year's news included frequent dispatches as to the closing of universities because of anti-Semitic outbreaks, desecrations of cemeteries, attacks on Jewish shoppers, and violence to Jewish property. _ 'U;J: . September 20,1933 , T - Paul Joseph Goebbcls announced that Jews will be expelled from employment' in government

offices and from the economic life of the country. There were several cases of attacks on Jews by JNazi Storm Troopers, and' 500 Nazis demonstrated outside the stock exchange shouting, "Down with the Jews." Rumor that March 4th was reserved for wholesale killing of Jews was reported by the Reuters News Service. There was a renewed drive against Jewish lawyers, physicians, professors, journalists and individuals in Berlin, Munich and other cities. September 6,1934 More than a half a million Jews were living In terror in a Germany apparently united under the swastika of Hitler andjjie Nazi party. The wild and unprecedented anti-Semitic onslaught which had evoked world-wide horror and protest was still in full swing. The Nazi regime refused to be deterred •,- from its relentless policy of reducing (he Jews to the status of an outcast people by depriving them of all political, economic and human rights. Another 60,000 German Jews, despairing of life in Naziland, were refugees from their native land, wandering over the face o f the earth in desperate search of new homes ; and an opportunity to rebuild their shattered lives. With the Nazi regime apparently impregna. ble and permanent, the future loomed ominously for the German Jewry. . ,' - .• : September 27,1935 Efforts were made by German Jewish leaders in the year past to adjust the young Jewish generation in Germany to artisanship and farm work. But even these,efforts were hampered by .the'Nazi'authorities^. •. :• • ; The largest Jewish farm in Gross-Gaglow near Berlin was" confiscated by the State, Individual farmers \yith whom' Jewish youths wero working were\ ordered* not to keep any Jew on their farms. . . ' September 17,1936 One hundred thousand Jews left Germany ' since the advent of Hitlerism. The excess of Jew- " ish deaths over Jewish births in Germany since Hitler's assumption of power is approximately 25,000. In Jariuary, 1933, the reich's Jewish populqtion numbered 525,000 souls; in July, 1936, tho number of Jews living in Germany was 400,000. What was the fate of the 125,000 German Jews? One hundred thousand saved themselves through, emigration; 25,000 are unaccounted for. Tho problem is thus reduced to a terrifying formula: emigration versus extinction.

Do You Remember?

September 3,1937' Orators who speak of anti-Semites warring on Jews are not using a figure of speech when they employ the term war to describe what is happening to Jews in many parts of the world. A quick glance back at the headlines of 1930 reveals a striking similarity to the reports ona reads from the battlefield in an actual war. It is no exaggeration to say that last year the victims of what we call pogroms were really victims of an undeclared war which raged In many parts of the world. War-time casualty lists are never pleasant reading/Neither is the list of skirmishes, ambushes, pogroms and riots of 1936 which took a toil of thousands in dead and wounded. September 23,1938 - With ghetto compartments for Jews already in vogue in. Vienna's street cars and a special bus line for Jews only operating in that city, tbe German railways announced that after January 1, 1939, there will be Introduced ghetto coaches for Jewish passengers. : It was. also reported that decrees calling for the compulsory wearing of yellow badgesby Jews, the separation of Jewish houses from others and the forced dissolution of mixed marriages will be announced during tbc Nazi Party Congress at Nuremberg. Signs posted in Vienna street cars not only force Jews to occupy special sections but also • forbid them to ride in the cars between,6 and 8 a.m., between 2 and 3 p.m. September 14,1939 ; The expansion of Hitler's Reich brought with it an extension of anti-Semitism. Last September, Germany annexed the Sudetenland territory of Czechoslovakia and the Jews in the region "joined their brethren in Old Germany in sulfering persecution. , : )'••• ' '.•':. ••• . • :• ;-'' Last March-the Czechoslovakian Republic was destroyed, A "protectorate" was established in Bohemia-Moravia owhere strenuous efforts were made to introduce the Nazi system of antiSemitism, which, however met with dogged resistance on the part of the Czechs. In Slovakia, also under Hitler's domination and more susceptible to anti-Semitism, legislation against tho Jews was issued and frequent programs occurred. The Nazi occupation of Memel was follower by an exodus of the Jews living there. AHhis writing Germany is demanding Danzig. From the Jewish point of view the Free City is already part of tho Reich since anti-Semitic restrictions have long since been introduced.
