They reported that President Nixon's national security advisor was "sympathetic to our presentation" and we are "encouraged by Dr. Kissinger's response and by his assurance that the channel of communication between the White House and tbo Jewish community on this Issue (Soviet Jewry) will remain open."

Program Note
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Public Committee for Iraqi Jews has • appealed to the Swedish Ambassador in Baghdad to try to save the life of 22-year-old Dori Kashkosh whose parents", sister, and . two brothers were reportedly murdered by Iraqi secret police in their home April 12. The girl, a university student, is reportedly In hiding. The committee has asked the Swedish envoy to grant her Swedish citizenship as protection from Iraqi authorities who may try to take her life. The Baghdad authorities want to confiscate the Kashkosh family's property and cover.up their crime, the committee said. .. Dori Kashkosh was saved only because she was attending classes at the university on the morning of April 12 when police entered her home and murdered five members of her family after a brief altercation, reports said. The Israel-based committee has also approached Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Yosef Tekoah, to request an international investigation of the Kashkosh murders arid of the fate of 16 other Iraqi Jews missing since last fall. -

New Right-Wing Group Growing in Germany Bonn (JTA)—TJie neo-Nazi National Democratic P a r t y (NPD) is in a stale of disarray, heavily in debt and trying desperately to hold on to its dwindling membership, (he Interior Ministry reports. But, according to West German security services, a new extreme rightwing organization is in the ascendence and appeals to many of the same elements that flocked to the NPD in its heyday a few years ago. The new group is the "Aktion Neue Rechte" which the security services say is developing into the country's most militant right-wing extremist organization. It.has close contacts with e x t r e m e right-wing groups abroad and subjects its members to strict training and discipline. The "Aktion Neue Rechte" Is headed by a former NPD official, Siegfried Poehlmann.
Earlier this year it broke with Dr. Gerhard Frey, publisher of the newspaper "Recht Und Ordnung," and now publishes its own news organ, "Stimme Der Neuen Rechten." Frey is also publisher of the rightist National Zeitung which in the past espoused neo-Nazi views. The NPD, which in the late 1960s stirred alarm in West Germany and abroad by capturing seats in virtually all of the provincial parliaments, has been on the decline. It suffered a major electoral defeat in last year's national elections and incurred massive debts in the process. It is now facing a rapid d e c l i n e of dues-paying members and many of its senior functionaries have withdrawn to pursue their private business. Nevertheless, according to the Interior Ministry, the NPD is making a "do-ordie" effort to survive.

Questions and Answers About Tay-Sachs Disease Editor's note: Readers with questions a b o u t Tay-Sachs disease and/or the Omaha Testing Program, are urged to address their inquiries to: The Jewish Press, 101 North 20th Street, Omaha, Neb. 68102. fM questions posed will be answered in this" v column during the next few weeks. \ Q. I am Jewish, my spouse is not. Should we be tested? \ A. While the carrier state is 10 times more prevelant among Jews than non-Jews, the mutant gene is not found exclusively among Jews. There is a chance that both of you are carriers, and both of you should be tested. Q. I am pregnant, should I be tested. A. No. The simple blood test will not work. on pregnant women. Your husband, however, should be tested. II his test js 'negative, there is no problem, since both parents must be carriers In order to produce a child with Tay-Sachs disease. If his test is positive, a relatively simple and safe test performed'early In pregnancy, called amniocentesis can identify the fetus that will develop Tay-Sachs disease. Q. What can a couple do if they learn they are both carriers and may have children with Tay-Sachs disease? A. Amniocentesis with .each pregnancy win allow such couples to have children free of Tay-Sachs Disease. A pregnancy in which a fetus with Tay-Sachs disease is identified can be therapeutically terminated. In this way couples may selectively have only unaffected children and not face the terrible prospect of a Tay-Sachs child.

New Name for Israel's President The night of his election as President in the Knesset, Prof. Ephralm Katchalski shed his private life—and his name. Prime Minister Golda Meir, the new President and a host of other government leaders were attending a reception for Katchalski hosted by President Zalman Shazar. Golda, glass in hand, in the midst of a lengthy toast to the new President, stopped for a moment, glanced at Katchalski, and said to him, "Now, we can call you President Katzir." In conformity with a custom that all government officials take Hebraized names, the new President of Israel became Ephraim Katzir the same day he became Israel's fourth President.

For the Tourist Who Thinks He Has Seen Everything By CAUL ALPERT Haifa—Only a few miles from Jerusalem, down into the declivity which drops to the Dead Sea, is a stretch of wilderness known as the Judean Desert. In its winding canyons and lofty gorges is some of the most breathtaking and inspiring scenery in all of Israel. Hitherto visited only by army p a t r o l s or rugged, hiking nature lovers, the Judean Desert is now being made accessible to the general public by an interprising group of young ex-soldiers who drive their six-wheel command car off the paved roads and into the rocky stretches of wasteland. This is no air-conditioned but, with light chatter from the loud speaker. The powerful vehicle traverses .no more than 75 or 80 miles daring Its nine hour trip, but the purpose is to sever an links, temporarily, with the civilization of telephones and traffic lights, hotel lobMes, neon signs and hurrying crpwds. When the command car pauses on the crest of a rocky hill which it has reached by crossIng unmarked paths, the very concept of silence—desert silence—takes on new meaning. And here, when it seemed the foot of man had never before trod, we gazed at the mysterious monastery of Mar Saba", c a r v e d into and perched on the precipitous slopes of a menacing ravine. Hundreds of monks Once made their- home in this spectacular complex, first built in the- sixth century. Today, we are told, there are little more than a dozen inhabitants. Our six-wheeler continues on through the
breath-taking countryside. This is where Bishop Pike, venturing with inadequate vehicle and no guide, lost his life, only a few years ago. Our husky escort knows his way well. At the top of the Mitspe Shalem observation post we can take in the. wide stretches of the Dead Sea, and then go down to its shores for a quick drive on the new, paved road to Jericho. Even this ancient city is civilization, and so off we go again up into the hills. There is much to be seen and heard by the observant traveler, even in the- desert. Along the sheer cliffs of Wadi Kelt we marvel at the domes and towers of the monastery of St. George, built without any apparent road from above or from below. And everywhere the mysterious, forbidding caves, holding who knows how many more troves of ancient scrolls, or perhaps even the lost teasures of the sacked Temple. There is a mystical allure to the Judean Desert, where Biblical prophets sought communion with their God, and were countless soldiers of successive invading hordes of Babylonians, Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Ommayads, Abbasides, Crusaders, Tartars, Mameluks, and Turks found their death. The miracle of modern Israel emerges in new dimensions when seen from the perspective of this wilderness. For the tourist who has been to Israel before, and thinks be has already seen every* thing, there is still a new thrill: the Judean Desert Safari of Neot Hakikar.

In 1887 the congregation built its first Temple, located on the southwest corner of Eighth and Pleasant streets. The congregation had thrty-seven members at that time. Current Temple members who are ^direct descehdents of members of that time include: Irving Redstone; Jerome Wolf; Irma Mannheimer and her son, Robert Mannheimer; Ma r j or i e Spevak; Eleanor Friedman and her son, William Friedman, Jr.; broth-' ers Morey, John and Robert Mandelbaum; Lawrence Weinstock and his daughter Caroline Levine and William Joseph.

OMAHA PARENTS: You've developed the "waiting habit." What that means, is that you've developed the habit of waiting until the last minute to register your children for community sponsored programs. It seems to make sense. After all, there's always been room. And sometimes programs you've signed up for haven't happened. Even if they do happen, at least you've been able to hold on to your money that much longer. If it didn't make' sense, it wouldn't be such a difficut habit to break. What I want to share with you is, even If it does seem to make sense to wait, It- makes more sense not to. I'll use camp as en example (it's one I know a lot about). When registrations are in early, I know how many counselors I'll need. I won't have to pass by some good applicants; the good ones don't have to wait until late May or early June to find out If there'll be a job for them. When reigstrations are in early, I can spend less time in May and June recruiting campers and more time working with my staff in developing programs and getting camp ready for your children.
REGISTER EARLY IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
