Oil Urges Support for Arabs Los Angeles, (JTA) — Standard Oil of California has asked its stockholders and employes to support "the aspirations of the Arab people" and "their efforts toward peace in the Middle East." Standard Oil Chairman Otto N. Miller said in a special letter that the U.S. should sup: port the Arab position because Middle East oil reserves are vital to "the future welfare of the Western world." Miller's message Is being mailed to Standard's 40,000 employes and 262,000 stockholders. 1 The Standard Oil letter marks

He said Standard Oil has in effect told "the Arabs that their political blackmail has found a willing victim . . . A letter such as this can by no stretch of the imagination be in America's best interests."

Omaha CRC Director Urges Protest Letters to SOCAL Omaha—Howard Weinstein, director of the Omaha Jewish Community Relations Committee, has urged that letters and wires be sent immediately to Standard Oil of California protesting the Oil Company's recent letter to stockholders and employees which asked support for Arab countries. Weinstein said the letters should convey "vigorous exception to their linkage of Israel with the current oil shortage. It should also be pointed out," Weinstein said, "that it is outside the right of public corporations to engage in politics or in. the formation of government foreign policy." ^, , • *» Letters and wires should be addressed to: Otto N.

as I am never likely to meet him. Sensing my embarrassment, the Rebbetzen lays a kindly hand on my shoulder and says in a comforting tone,, "Don't worry, we'll find someone." I wonder at what stage I will be consulted. Many Mea Shearim marriages are the result of a single meeting between the couple before they face each other again on the day of the Cbuppa. Negotiations lor the match are usually conducted between the parents of the prospective bride and groom and the match-makers. In my case, there would be no paren-, tal negotiation. My father, who was an atheist, died when I was ten,years old; and my mother who is an agnostic, lives thousands of miles from-Israel. ' As these thoughts crowd to my mind, the R e b b e t z e n speaks again. "It is a problem to marry off a girl who has had a secular education. It is not good when a woman knows too much." Again, I refrain from debate, realizing that logic has little sway in the arena of dogmatic thought. It is time to take my leave. The joke has worn thin. Despite the picturesque atmoshouse.

By Greer Fay Casbman Jerusalem (AJP): Scene —a house somewhere in Mea Shearim. Time—the present. Atmosphere—a combination of time capsules. Externally the house bears all the scars of history, crumbling Jerusalem stone, ill fitted windows, a door which _ _ contrives ^with difficulty to sit comfortably on its hinges. Inside, the house is like any other house in Israel—tiled floors, several divans which are easily converted into beds, - a table and several chairs. Seated at the table are an elderly rabbi and his wife. His •. white beard and long curly payot stand out in sharp contrast against the wide brimmed b l a c k hat which removes ' only when going to bed. He wears the traditional striped Jerusalem kaftan over a white under sliirt and knee length ' baggy white knickers. His spindly legs are encased in black hose and he wears, black shoes. On Sabbaths and festivals, the black hat is replaced with a shtreiml, an exotic fur concoction which makes him look like an ancient Russian nobleman. The Rebbetzen has a white silk bandana bound around her shaven head. She wears a loose fitting blouse with a high collar •• .and wri$t length sleeves. Her skirt, which is equally shapeless, hovers slightly below mid calf, revealing the faintest glimpse of her black stockinged legs. When she goes out in the street, a heavy black shawl is pinned around the white bandana. She is wearing what has been the Mea Shearim uniform for more than a hundred years. ".Thje.

nods smilingly. Then* solicitous c o n c e r n for my welfare is touching, but impersonal. It is perfectly obvious that they are not going to give me any psychological test to discover what sort of man would be my ideal partner in life. I share a private joke with myself, imagining how they are going to describe me to the male prospect of their choice. What are they going to say about a girl who experiments daringly with eye make-up, wears skin tight sweaters and maxi skirts and sports long pointed fingernails all of which arc virtually tabO/O in Mea Shearim. What would any traditionally clad male resident of Mea Shearim say to such a description? The Rabbi and his wife go through a series of names which to me are meaningless. They have a mental file on every eligible male in Mea Shearim. None of the names sound exciting. So many Jewish men are called Shlomo or Moshe or Yitzhak or Aron that one cannot even conjure up the image of a face to go with the name. The Rabbi, having finished his repast, rises from the table and retires to another recess of the

Please Respond A survey of attitudes of a sample group in the Omaha Jewish community has been undertaken by the Jewish Press. Information compiled from the survey will highlight the Rosh Hashana edition of the paper. Questionnaires were sent to the sample group two weeks ago, Many have been returned, and the initial response has been very exciting. The answers reflect sincerity and honesty and give important insights into what Omaha Jews think; what they Tlo to express their Jewish identities; and how they view the Jewish community. A number of questionnaires have not been returned as yet. For the survey to have validity, it. is imperative that all questionnaires be returned to be included in the computations. All those who have been selected to be part of the survey group arc urged to give the few minutes necessary to complete the questionnaire and return It as quickly as possible to: The Jewish Press, 101 North 20th Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68102. With the cooperation of the sample group, this survey could be a vital force in determining the future of this Jewish community in the years to come. Please respond!

Sometimes KllOWS Best By CARL AtPERT Haifa—It was just about fifteen years ago that Israel's planners proclaimed with glee that all maps of the country would have to be changed. The great swamp drainage project in the north had been ('completed. Lake Huleh had, disappeared . from the face of the earth. Alhiost 15,000 acres of fertile farmland had been created, and the area, would become the bread basket of Israel. The drainage had b e e n achieved by diverting the Jortian River from the widespread swamps into a series of canals which led the water into a new channel and thence directly into the Seal of GaliAlpcrt lee. .. •- . •High hopes were held.:out for the vast deposits of peat which wereVuftcovered when "dry1 land emerged. There were public debates as lo whether it was more economical to dig the peat and use it as fuel, or exploit it as a rich, natural fertilizer. • v <••' ;The drainage of the Huleh V a l l e y was hailed as one of the most remarkable engineering' achievements in tho history of the young state. Every Israeli and every Zionist swelled with pride as the story was told. That'was fifteen years ago. The dream has vanished, the high hopes have proven vain, and the tampering with nature has begun to have dangerous effects on both water and soil. The peat was not at all as fertile as expected, and the crops proved disappointing. The swamp did

He told the Knesset, however, that the Arab states apparently did not prevent their nationals from filing claims with Israel. . . After the disaster which took more than 100 lives, Israel offered, as a free will gesture, to pay 330,000 to the families of each of the latal : victims and $10-530,009 to the injured depending upon the extent of their injuries.

On his way back from South America the Israeli diplomat is expected to spend several days in New York where he may meet ^with United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim arid senior administrative officials. Eban may also go to Washington to meet with U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers.

Russian Jews Want to Return . Vienna (JTA)—Jewish sources here said on July 17 that there seemed to be little chance that the Soviet Union would .change its position against somea>200 Russian Jews who emigrated to Israel and "are now in Vienna seeking permission to return to the USSR. "It is unrealistic to think that after the death of Soviet Ambassador (to Austria) Averky B. Aristoy the Soviet are going to change their mind on the subject," the sources said. • Following Aristiv's death last week, rumors cropped up that the new Soviet envoy would take a softer line on issuing visas to Jews who want to return. "Without a directive from Moscow even a new man in Vienna will not have the authority to ease'the situation," the sources said. S
