Israel Imposes Price Freeze Jerusalem (JTA)—The Israel Government has announced a three month selective price freeze, effective immediately, to curb inflation and cool off an overheated market, mainly in the building industry. The cabinet also announced a crackdown on price offenders. The Cabinet's action put an official stamp on what the press and public knew a week ago would be the first price freeze instituted by an Israeli government in- an election year. It will be in effect until
Golcla Ready to Meet Bourguiba Jerusalem, (JTA) — Premier Golda Meir says she is prepared to meet with President Habib Bourguiba without preconditions but has rejected in advance his proposal for the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state. There is no room for a Palestinian State between, Israel and the Jordan River as the Tunisian president suggested, Mrs. Meir said. She said that it "depends 100 per cent on President Bourguiba" whether he and she ever meet to discuss a solution of the Middle East conflict.
Sept. 30, less than a month before election day. Government Subsidies During that period a total freeze will be applied to 14 basic commodities, which are normally subsidized b y the government to keep their prices stable. The government will absorb price increases on any of these items due to increases on the world market— a subsidy that It is estimated will cost the government IL 20 million a month. A total freeze will also be applied to bus and train tickets, electricity and telephone rates and on services such as hotel rooms, restaurants, laundries and hair-dressers. , , Manufacturers will be required to absorb price rises in imported raw materials which - increase the cost of their finished product by up to two per cent. Beyond two per cent they may apply to the government to raise their prices. The manufactures must also absorb the ten per cent cost-ofliving allowance that the government has decided to pay workers in July and which, it is estimated,.will add VA per cent to the cost of finished products. Manufacturers therefore will have to absorb at least a 3'A per cent increase in their costs before they can ask the government for relief. The freeze will-not be applied to fruits and vegetables which fluctuate in price according to season.
BrezBttieV, Issue WASHINGTON {JTA)—The United States a m i t h e Soviet Union expressed "deep concern" over the continuing Middle East conflict, acknowledged that they were ^till far apart on a solu-. tion but pledged to avoid a confrontation in that area. These were the main points relating to the Middle East in the joint communique by President Nixon and Soviet Communist Party Secretary. Leonid I. Brezhnev, released in San Clemente, Calif., and in the briefing for newsmen given immediately afterwards by Presidential adviser Henry Kissinger. The joint communique^aid that both superpowers "agreed to continue to exert their efforts to promote the quickest possible settlement in the MiddleEast" which "should be in accordance with the interests of all the states in the area, be consistent with their independence and sovereignty and should take into account the legitimate interests of the Palestinian people."

AJPA Names New Officers San Francisco (JTA) — Robert A. Cohn, editor-in-chief of the St. Louis Jewish Light, was elected to his second one-year term as president of the American Jewish Press Associatio at the organization's 30th annual meeting here. Colin, a 34year-old attorney, is the youngest person to serve as president of the association which is made up. of 44 weekly, biweekly and monthly Jewish newspapers in the United States :and Canada.; • -', The association adopted a r e s o l u t i o n applauding The Washington Post and The New York Times for winning victories for freedom of the press in their coverage of the Watergate affair.

amnesty, court decisions and other interpretations seem to indicate that Congress also has the right to grant amnesty," the AJ Congress observed. The resolution said that amnesty should include draft refusers, deserters, expatriates ' and those who have renounced their citizenship. "We believe that those who have served or are serving prison terms for following their conscience' by refusing to serve in the Vietnam war should receive full pardons," the resolution added. The A J Congress is the second major American Jewish organization to call for amnesty for Vietnam draft evaders in less than a week. A similar call for unconditional amnesty was overwhelmingly adopted at the opening of the 84th annual convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis in Atlanta last Thursday.

Charge Jews Reform Rabbis Adopt Strong Stand Arabs With Watergate Plot Against Mixed Marriage Ceremonies ATLANTA (JTA)—The Central Conference of American Rabbis, at its 84th annual convention last week, adopted a resolution expressing strong disapproval of its members officiating at mixed marriage ceremonies. Nonetheless the Conference upheld its traditional position of acknowledging each Reform rabbi's right to act according to his own interpretation of Jewish tradition. The resolution was passed by a vote of 321-196 after a spirited five-hour debate. The debate was based on a resolution presented to the Reform rabbinic body by its mixed mar-
riage committee, a 10-member body headed by Rabbi Herman Schaalman of Chicago. The committee had made an intensive two-year study covering the various theological, sociological and psychological factors regarding the entire problem of mixed marriage. The mixed-marriage committee had recommended that the CCAR suggest minimum standards that rabbis choosing to officiate at mixed marriage ceremonies should abide by. The suggested guidelines were defeated by a vote of 221-198.
'Jesus Christ Film Washington, (JTA) - The film version of "Jesus Christ S u p e r s t a r , " was denounced here by the member agencies of the, National Jewish Community Relations A d v i s o r y Council for reviving "religious sources of anti-Semitism." A statement adopted at the NJCRAC plenary session castigated'the motion picture as "worse than the stage play" in dramatizing "the o l d falsehood of the Jews' collective responsibility for the death of Jesus." - The statement charged that

Albert E. Arent of Washington, vNJCRA chairman, s a i d that NJCRAC agencies were generally reluctant to publicly condemn films or literature, to avoid implications of censorship.

The Readers Write
' By CARL ALPERT Haifa—The editors of Israel's newspapers don't have to go out of their way to encourage , readers to write. Israel's reading public Is quick to respond to items in the news, and very often the contributions of Vox Populi are more interesting than the professional reportage. They are frequently marked by wit and humor, intelligent observations — and occasional morbidity. For example, Shlomo Bornttebi of Kfar Sirkin is worried about the increasing space which is being taken up by cemeteries, at the expense of space for the living. He informed the Medical School, to which he is bequeathing his Alpert body, that after his remains Jave been dissected for classroom study, the remnants should be completely disposed of — either by being ground up for fertilizer for houseplants, or to feed the chickens. He " learned with regret that the Medical School is obliged by law to bury what is left of him. Another reader, A. Dgani, of Jerusalem, reacted by reminding Bornstein that the decay of bodies in the soil is nature's way of re-using the chemical components and beginning a new cycle. Hence, normal burial is to be preferred if one's.'concern is ecology. Some readers have original views on poli• tics; Dov Mishor of Jerusalem got into the [ question of choice of Israel's next president at , a time when the big question was—should he
be a Sephardi or an Ashkenazi? Neither, wrote Mishor. He should be a Druze, and everybody would be happy, especially the Druzes. Announcement that the Ministry of Education is to inaugurate sex lessons in the public schools gets Mr. A. Mesh all excited. If they're looking for something to teach, he says, priority should be given to developing in our young people an awareness of the need for cleanliness and neatness. The countryside is overflowing with filth and garbage and abandoned junk. Let's give our young people a consciousness of the need for cleanliness. It c o u l d change the face of the country. . . First prize for the indignant citizen should go to Mr. Y. Levanon, of Givatayim. He wrote to the editor: On Friday night a sudden storm broke off a large tree branch and cast it over the telephone wires on our street. There was danger the wires would break, and when by Sunday nothing had been done I decided to ring the telephone offices and call the matter to their attention. I phoned to 38833 and a women there referred me to 82011 At that number they suggested I call 820584. I did so, and they were properly regretful at the accident, but told me to phone 824822. The answering voice referred me to 825597.1 burst out in anger at this runaround being given to a citizen who was only try to help. The reply: Very sorry, Shalom! I decided to call the manager's office, at the first number again, but when I began to explain, I was simply cut off. And so I have now joined the ranks of the great army of apathetic citizens.

Between You and Me By Boris Smolar
Graduation Reflections The graduation season this summer takes place in an atmosphere of political and economic uncertainties in the country, which are likely to affect thousands of Jewish graduates. No longer are large industrial firms competing with each other for engineers by offering contracts to graduate students in advance of their graduation. No longer are young chemists and physicists certain of finding positions immediately after their graduation. The drastic reduction in state subsidies to colleges and universities, will inevitably result in institutions of higher learning reducing the number of faculty members, among whom one could find thousands of Jews in the last few years. In the field of social work—a field where the proportion of Jewish students and graduates is usually large—there will now be fewer positions available because of the substantial cut in Federad funds to social welfare agencies. Many J e w i s h youngsters graduating now as lawyers, will probably have to seek positions not in their profession, but in other fields. The same is likely to be the case with graduates in psychology, sociology and economics. In general, one can toreseo that graduates this s u m m e r will not make an easy transition from life on the campus, where most of them were maintained by their parents, to a life of standing economically on their own feet. Puzzling Decline The 400,000 young Jews in universities and colleges today, represent the largest proportion of any ethnic group enrolled in institutions of higher learning. Eight out of 10 Jewish youngsters either attend or have attended, a college or university. Nevertheless, a study of Jewish freshman, unexpectedly revealed, that Jews now constitute only 4.2 per cent oltho total s t u d e n t population as compared with 5.4 per cent a few years ago. So far no explanation of this serious decline has been given. Some Jewish leaders speculate that the reduced percent* age of Jewish freshmen migh y JJ c ^ be due to the steady a s ^, in i the th number b of f young nonj-j
J e w i s h Americans' attending I
college, especially to the Increase in the number of Black students. Others point to the fact that about 60 per cent of Jewish freshmen who were questioned in a highly representative sample survey did not accept the prevailing view that a college education increase one's earning power. One can now hear it remarked on campus that a plumber has more income than a scientific researcher worker, and, that an ordinary laborer in the building trade e a r n s more than one who graduates as a teacher. Student Attitudes American Jewish leaders are particularly concerned about the political beliefs of the Jewish students and how they have affected the students' feelings of Jewish identity. They know that some of the students have been actively involved in causes hostile to Jewish interests. Others are 'indifferent to the security and wellbeing of the American Jewish community. Still others are seeking to redefine their lifestyles, develop experimental Jewfsh groups, and exert pressure on Jewish community organizations for change and increased relevance to-the facts of our present life. The Hillel Foundations, which stand close to Jewish students on the campuses, estimate that about 5 per cent of the Jewish students are involved in New Left activities which are radical and anti-Israel. Nearly 60 per cent of the Jewish students have joined in protests against the Vietnam War, but only 26 per cent of them participated hi protests foe Soviet Jewry.

Supreme Court Ruling Bans State Aid for Private Schools New York (JTA)—The VS. Supreme Court, In a blanket decision this'week ..invalidated all Butwtantial forms ot state aid-,, for non-public school! currently in effect and^apparently doomM future efforts to obtain such aid within constitutional bounds. ; ; _ ::•> The 6-3 decision was hailed:i>y Jewish groups which have been in the forefront of the legal battle against parochlaid. Orthodox spokesmen who just as vigorously have been seeking public monies for support of financially ailing Jewish schools greeted it with expressions of disappointment and dismay. Specifically, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional New York State's 1970 Mandated Services Act and all three parts of the 1972 omnibus bill which granted non-public schools in the state money for maintenance'and -repairs and provided tuition reimbursement for -lowincome parents and tax credits for all parents Of children attending parochial schools. 1 The Court also declared unconstitutional a 1972 Pennsylvania tuition reimbursement statute and upheld a lower court decision in Ohio against tax credits'for parochial school parents. Reported Loss: $10 Million Rabbi Bernard Goldcnberg, associate, director of Torah Umesorah, the National Society of Hebrew Day Schools, said that this decision will

cost the 185 Hebrew day schools in New York State $6-7 million in state aid this ye». Rabbi Moshe Sherer, president of the Agudat Israel of America, put the loss at $4-5 million in New York State. Rabbi Sherer and Rabbi Goldenberg said that the burden for providing urgently needed financial assistance for Jewish day schools now rests on the Jewish federations, .the.community and the secular organizations that successfully led the court fight against parochiaid. Leo Pfeffer, special counsel.for the Committee for Public Education and Religious Liberty (PEARL) which carried the anti-parochiaid fight to the Supreme Court said, "I think the decision Is very good. It safeguards the Jewish day schools from governmental interference into their affairs and protects the religious freedom of all Americans." Theodore. R. Mann, vice-president of the American Jewish Congress arid chairman of its Commission on Law, Social Action and Urban Affairs, 'also welcomed the Supreme Court ruling. Mann said he hoped that "Government officials, from the President down, will recognize that these decisions preclude further efforts to find a way around the constitutional prohibition embodied in the First Amendment of government aid to sectarian schools."
New CCAR Head Urges 'Moral Consciousness'
Harold M. Jacobs, President of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America expressed his "dismay" at the presence of Jewish leaders at the State dinner for Soviet c o m m u n i s t party leader Brezhnev. In a letter to Jacob Stein, Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Jacobs stated "We are dismayed to learn that you have seen fit to participate in President Nixon's welcome to. Leonid Brezhnev." His letter to Stein continues*: "The inhumane treatment being meted out to our brethren in Russia, and the vitriolic anti-semitism r e g u l a r l y
uttered by Soviet spokesmen in the U.N. are directly in t h e hands of communist p a r t y leader Brezhnev. Even as Brezhnev is feted in Washingtort. tHere are increased arrests of Jews in Russia. "Jewish participation in welcoming a man who personifies antagonism and animosity to Jewry today is an incalculable indignity. All the more so is this true when the head of American Jewry's major umbrella1 organization participates in such an event." "The deed which has b e e n done is a blow to the interests of the Jewish people and to the cause of unity in the Jewish community."
Right Wing Groups Lose Ground in West Germany Bonn (JTA) — The extreme rightwing . continued to lose : ground in West Germany last year and poses no present danger to the State according to a .report by the security services released by Interior Minister Hans Dietrich Genscher at a p r e s s conference here: . . The-"report, cited the decline of the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party (NPD) and other radical'right g r o u p s and a sharp drop in acts of terror and violence by right-wing extremists between 1971-72. The overall membership in rightist groups declined slightly—from.25,000 in 1971 to 23,000 in 1972 —'.arid the number of such groups dropped from 129 to 123 in the- same period. NPD membership fell from 28,000 in 1969 to about 14,500 last year. The party, while not
broken, has been crippled by the lack of financial contributions and is no longer represented in the provincial parliaments, the report noted. Acts of violence by rightwing extremists fell from 428 cases in. 1971 to.'2G3'case3 last year. But. radical right newspapers and periodicals enjoyed a rise in, circulation, and their number increased from 55 in 1971 to 60 in'.1972. They,now have a total circulation of over 200,000."

(This Is my first vacation in over three years, and Z feel I have earned this time off.) Thought I could stay away from business while here, but that wasn't so. Last week I visited "The Gallery" (just off campus at Kearney State), and met a charming artist'who works under the name ofRAEFORD. After admiring and purchasing one of RAEFORD'S dry point prints. I decided fais work merited a solo show at Gloria's—As soon as RAE has finished his Thesis Show in Juno and fulfilled a commitment with the Haymarket in Lincoln, we are going to de-' cide on the date for Omaha. Will keep you posted. -This week (June 23rd thru 30th) is the beginning of Kearney's Centennial Celebration.

(Continued from Page 9) $600 in their treasury." So! What are they doing with it? When was the last function you were at sponsored by USY? TYG <NFTY) is next to look at, and there really isn't much to look at. The last flyer I received from that group was about a year and a half ago. And the function being promoted never occurred. Why tliis lack of communication? In order for a youth group to succeed in its purpose, whatever it may be, they must have the essential tool of communication. Unfortunately I would have "to blame t h i s on the board. L a c k of community awareness has weakened a dying sect of Judaism. When was the last time you went to a TGY function? BBYO (AZA and BBG) There is a group which, in order to survive, had to merge into one group called BBYO. The debts and lack of attendance took its toll in this group. Unfortunately, adult support has declined to the negative level. The parent organizations have virtualy ignored this group until they need someone to sell or promote their functions. The adults have ignored this group to the point of protests and planned demonstrations by the group until something is done. To tell you the truth, I don't even think the parent group knows about the merger Which took place last election. A classic example of this adult ignorance was d i s p l a y e d in February of this year when
the annual Sweetheart-Beau lost over $120 due to lack of ads and patron tickets sold. You can blame this on the kids but I know a lot who worked very hard to make this function a success. When was the last time you were at'a BBYO activity? SYO — This group has appeared to, on the outside, be very happy and successful. But then don't judge a book by its cover. Last month, May, they had to call off a dance which was in the planning stages because when they looked at the financial end of it they came out with a big negative sign in front of a large digit numeral. Why? A simple lack of youth support. If enough people had bought tickets a successful and enjoyable dance .could have been presented. SYO has- really no trouble with attendance because they "allow eighth graders to join and doesn't appear to have trouble with money. So what is their trouble? Lack of active support from the community. The youth community, that Is. Think hard. When was the last time you appeared at an SYO funct-on? If these thoughts disturb you, then they have achieved their goal. If you want these facts to be buried, then get out and help your own group start on the path up. It can be done, bat it won't just happen. People — youth—mast make it happen. Remember, where there is a will there is a way. And believe me there Is a way.

Former Omahan Remembers... Omaha—Sometimes tfie effect of a story is more exciting than the story itself. A case in point is "The Oldtimer's Review" which appears in the Jewish Press. The column reflects the activities of the newly-created'group of retired and semi-retired men at the Jewish Community Center. But for one reader at least, a recent column did much more than provide information about the next meeting. It prompted nostalgic memories, and plans for a visit "back home." Among the- subscribers to the Jewish Press are many former Omahans living in other parts of the country. Occasional comments from these - subscribers indicate the important part the Press plays in "keeping ties with the^home .town." Evidently, the d e s i r e to "keep ties" is not a short term

The Staff Goes to Camp "A good camp counselor Is committed to helping youngsters develop self-confidence, positive objectives and a strnog Jewish identification," said Bob Litvak, Director of Camp Esther K. Newman, explaining the purpose of the Staff Institute which was held at the camp the week prior to the arrival of campers June .25. "Every member of the staff participated in a rigorous week of orientation so that each would be completely familiar with the camp facilities, the camp philosophy and goals," litvak said. The new director of Camp Esther K. Newman, Mr. Litvak views the orientation of staff members -as essential to Implementing changes at the camp. "This year," he said, "the focus will be pn the -campers in their cabin units. Each cabin will plan its own activities, except for all-camp programs, and will participate in these activities as a cabin group which in-

eludes the counselor. This means the youngsters will only have to meet eight people to begin with, instead of 150, and will feel an identification with a group . . . somewhat like a family." In his first year as camp director, Litvak spent much time recruiting a staff. In addition to Omahans, the staff also includes young people from all over the United States, as well as one young man from Yugoslavia and ono from Canada. • • "High standards were set for all staff positions at Camp Newman to insure the best possible people available in terms of attitude, skill and camp experience," Litvak said. .During the orientation members of the staff participated in the wide range of camp activi- ties and received basic instruction in each area. Larry Hurwitz, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was a camper at Esther K. Newman the fir^t Summer it opened. Finding the camp experience "much different" when viewed from the role of counselor, Hurwitz was enthusiastic about the opportunity to translate the philosophy of the camp into a meaningful experience for the campers. The Yugoslavian counselor, Esad Colakovic, was recruited through the ''Camp America" program. A representative of the program interviewed him in his home town of Zagreb and recommended him for the position on the Newman Camp staff. Chief of the kitchen staff, Omahan Walter Richtman, attends Yeshiva University in New York where he works part-time as a cook in the Yeshiva University kitchen. As head of the camp kitchen, he will be responsible for maintaining its kashruth. Members of his staff include other Yeshiva U. students, Michel Ajchenbaum, Montreal, Canada and Steven Grunberger, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr, Litvak noted that while the Staff Institute provided the Initial orientation for the camp staff, "staff t r a i n i n g will continue throughout the summer w i t h weekly staff • meetings end evaluations.'^
