Omaha - With twinkling eyes, the Chief Rabbi of Rumania told an Omaha audience Sunday, "when Jews daven (pray) they should say a special prayer for Columbus for having diacovarvd America." The guett speaker at the annual meeting of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, Rabbi Moses Rosen lauded the American Jewish community for the vital role it plays in support of Israd and Jews everywhere. "The United States," be said, "has an hiatoric misaioh to decide the future of our people." Discussing life in Rumania, Rabbi Rosen noted that from a' Jewish community numbering 800,000 before World War II. there are 90,000 Jews still in Rumania. "400,000 were slaughtered by the Nazis," said the Rabbi who personally escaped death three times at the hands of the Nazis. "300,000 have emigrated to Israel." According to Rabbi Rosen, Rumanian >ws are allowed to practice their religion freely: to associate on communal levels and to have relationships with Jewish
RabMtlsaea communities outside Rumania. "Discrimination is illegal and enforced," he said. Rabbi Roaen serves as a member of Parliament in his position as president of the combined Jewish community which has 70 affiliated communities, Accordbtg to Rabbi Roaen, Jews are active in all forms of Rumania's life and some 30 are in the Parliament. Over ISO synagogues operate in the 70 Jewish communities. He cited the work of the Joint Distribution
Highest Price Hiices in israel^s History TEL AVIV. (JTA)-Israeli housewives had a disagreeable surprise when they went to the supermarket last week. Their money bought one-third less of such essential commodities as bread, butter, margarine, oil, eggs, sugar and milk than it did the day before.

Committee »» vital to the welfare Of 10,000 needy Rumanian Jews. Asked if Rumanian Jews are free to immigrate to Israel without the difficulties which Russia places on Soviet Jewry. Rabbi Rosen declined to make the comparison. "1 am not an expert on what happens in the Soviet Union," he said. "I can only tell you about Rumania, and 3,000 Rumanian Jevm imigrated to Israel In 1973." Describing the official position of the Rumanian government as "neutral" during the Yom Kippur War, Rabbi Rosen noted that "public opinion was decidedly bt sympathy with Israel." How is it possible for religious freedom to function in a socialist state? According U> RabU Rosen, "If Jews are allowed to function freely as Jews, they are happy. Happy people are loyal citizens of the State. This is how Rionania arrived at these policies of religious freedom." Rabbi Rosen did not claim any Utopia for Rumania. "It isjieither the Garden of Eden, nor is It the other place," he said.
NEW YORK, (JTA) - Ran ChevoJInsU, a Paris-based reporta- for the BrazUain weekly Resenha JudaIca, reports that the Arabs are "paying in dollars" to obtain proiArab articles written by respected Journalists whose columns appear in European mass-circulation newspapers and magatines. Another aspect of this "news for sale" trend, reported by the ADL, was provided by Jewish leaders In Milan and Rome. They lok) ADL that important newspapers and radiotelevision stations are disseminating verbatim, in the guise of news, Arab propaganda material supplied by the well-financed Arab i.iformation agencies of those cities. Arab efforts to purchase favorable news and comment are also reported from Latin America. CbevoJinsU states that another journalist, who recently returned from a tour of Latin American capitals, witnessed negotiations between an Arab emissary and the owner of a major televisk)n-radio station. The deal, concluded in the main office of an Arab embassy, alisfsdly provides for the syslenatic broadcast of the Arab "truth" on a long-term basis

Msiger Worries Tunisian JoMfs PARIS, (JTA) - The announcernent of the LibyaTunisia merger into the Arab Islamic Republic has come as a great shock to Jews in Tunisia. The 80OO Jews in Tunisia who once felt "protected" by President Habib Bourguiba now appear completely "lost," sources said. Many Jewish businessmen and technicians, are considering leaving for France in the very near future. As for the very old Tunisian Jews attached to their way of life and the climate, it appears they may very likely be forced to emigrate eventually because of the extreme antiJewish sentiment of Libya's leader, Muammar Qaddafi which they believe will be imposed on Tunisia.

Proxmire, who has not failed on any Senate business day in seven years to register his approval of the treaty by word or letter, said he was Impressed on how far the opposition mail had departed from the treaty's real meaning. "The real argument for the genocide treaty" Proxmire declared, "was put by a little teenage Jewish girl. She was a victim of Hitler's genocide. She was one of six million Jews deliberately destroyed in the Nazis' planned extermination of European Jews during World War II. Genocide is the planned, premeditated extermination of an entire people or race. The treaty we debate today would make such an action On international crime. Anyone who has sny real doubt whether he should vote yea or nay should listen not only to the voices of Senators and constitutional authorities but also to the voice of murdered Anne Frank, that chlM of joy amid the terror, the hatred and death from Nail persecution. Across the » years since Anne Frank died In the Nail concentration camp at Belsen, that voice rings put — calling on us to dedicate this country to the end of the terrible crime of genocMe." Paradoxically, the opposition's chief spokesman is Sen. Sam J. Ervin (D.N.C.) who has been hailed by liberals as "uncle Sam" for his steadfastness to constitutionalism in his chairmanship of the Senate Select Committee examining the Watergate affair. The Liberty Lobby's chairman is Curtis B. Dall. once the son-in-law of the great liberal President Franldin D. Roosevelt. Paradoxically, too, the U.S. government itself proposed, fought for and succeeded in winning the treaty's adoption by the UN. Every.President
from Truman to Nixon has supported it. Yet it was a quarter of a century before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Rnally approved it last March 10 for the first •time. -•Now the debate has begun and promises to be long drawn out. "My guess is that there will be lengthy speeches," a spokesman for an opposing Senator said. He was certain that if the filibuster did not work there would be more than enough Senators on hand to block the 2-3 vote required from among the Senators present and voting to enact the treaty.

He found prices exorbitantly high and was doubtful that he could start a successful business venture. Gladstone found that he could not rent a store building for leas than $300 nor a comfortable home for less than $1S0. He did feel, however, that Omaha was "destined to become a large city." He listed the existence of twentyfive hotels, 200 saloons, fifteen cigar stores, six "fine millinery stores" and six wholesale groceries.

T'AINT FUNNY The unfortunate attempt at humor displayed in your editorial in the February 1st isaue was completely obnoxious. We are all able to read Art Buchwald or Wally Provoel or Jim Murray any day of the week. It is unfortunate that you do not have ttieir ability to be humorous, but at least you should recognize that fact so that we are not subjected to your attempts. In the future I suggest that if you do not have a proper subject for your cohunn, the cohimn shotild be omitted. Arnold J. Steni TENNIS WINS AGAIN! Your article In the prtss expounding on restricted athletics absolutely appalls me. We can all participate in sports regardless of race, creed, color or religion. Where would baaeball be without the Jackie Robinsons, basketball without the Bill Russells and swimming without the Mark Spitz? Your mind must be like a flling cabinet, as It is apparent that you want to pigeon-hole us. This group filed under one sport, this group under another, and so forth. I refuse to be (lied under a category by you, but rather be able to participate in any sport I so desire. Many years ago, as a young girl, I played tennis. So did many of my contempories. So you see, Jews playing tennis is not a recent innovation. I do not play tennis any longer. But I gave It up by choice not because I am a Jewess. I think that maybe your column has given me tiie incentive to lake it up again. Mickey Kalsman Nothing evor made the good oM days so good at telUng about them.
Jewish Boys Make Good In Top Government Spots By Josepli Poiakoff
Five years after the Nazi hok>causl was stilled, two Jewish students from New York City were graduated from Harvard College, one consumed with a thirst for knowledge of history and the other equally driven in economics. Both won Doctorates in their specialties at Harvard and were appointed to its faculty. Their brilliant papers and books on American policies ultimately brought them to President Nixon's attention and today they hold the first and third highest posts in his Cabinet. "For better or worse," says December's Forlane Magaiine. "the U.S. national security is now in the care of two intellectuals from the class of 'SO." The historian, of course^ is Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. The economist is Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger. Until the article in Fortune. America's 12th Secretary ot Defense was generally assumed always to have been the Protestant that he is now. Fortnnr rightly reported his Jewish origin and that he now is a practicing Lutiieran. "Schlesinger's values are the product of a code of morality of behavior based on deeply held beliefs," Fertnae reported. "He grew up in a Jewish (amily but he and his wife Rachel are practicing Lutherans. He attends church with some regularity methodically marking each entry on the order of service. During the sermon he takes notes." Schlesinger and his older brother, Eugene, an outstanding economist himself, were bom and raised in Manhattan. Their emigrant pbrents who had come from widely separate parts of Europe as children had met
there. They gave the boys a Jewish education and both were Bar Mitzvah Their father, Julius Schlesinger arrived in New York in 1904 from Vienna and their mother Rhea Rogen came from "WesUrn RossU" in 1899. The father worked his way through New York University and later became a partner in a prospering Manhattan firm of public accountants. "My father made a great success of his life," Fartnac quoted Eugene as saying. "However, Jim felt a lack of roots that had something to do with our being brought up in
(he urban society of the depression years." Both parents are now deceased. A dose associate of Secretary Schlesinger said that marriage was not the basis for his formal conversion to Christianity. In the early 1950'8, Schlesinger received a year's travel grant from Harvard. This included three months in the Middle East including Israel. How much his travel experiences affected him is not yet disclosed but when he returned he joined the Presbyterian church. That
was before he met his wife who was a Methodist. Being of different Protestant denominations, they decided, (he associate said, to choose a third and so became L.utheran8. Eugene (Dick) Schlesinger. also a Harvard alumnus who graduated in 1946, remailb Jewish. His four children were raised aa Jews. He is a senior lecturer at the World Bank's Ekxmomic Development Institute in Washington. The brothers and their families are on good terms and meet frequently.

Disengagement: Pros and Cons Haifa - Only Ume wiU tell if Israel did the right thing in signing the Kissinger agreement with £^pt for wiUidrawal from the Suez Canal. Only time will tell, but in the meantime a fierce controversy is ragfaig in Israel. The man in the street recognizes that we have given up very definite strategic advantages. Is this loss outweighed by the fact (hat a door seems to have been opened to peace? The promise that large numbers «f our men will soon be released from the army weighs heavily in the discussion. Israel's most popular commentator, Halm Herzog, tells us that the alternative to a compromise of this sOrt was certain and positive renewal of the war. Under the circumstances, he asks, is It not better to take the gamble, a calculated risk, in the hope Uia( another round of war may be averted? Moshe Dayan has told the nation that in his opinion it is a good agreement. The Egyptians say they want peace; we must give th^m the chance to prove they mean what thiey say. We are told that Sadat, too, is sick of war. He is also a realist. He can not sell his people on any kind of agreement with Israel if it appears that Egypt loses face. The Arabs are a proud people. Surely Israel can be large enough to give up the appearances of victory, for the sake of a real peace. Which is belter, the prWp of a com|ueror, or the wisdom to yield on matters of prestige? The true goal it that Arabs and Israelis may yet become friendly nrlghbors. Other observers ane pessimistic. Eliahu Nawi, mayor of Beersheba, who was born and raised among the Arabs of Iraq, claims weare deluding ourselves if we think that we
can win Arab friendship simply by returning territories we have occupied. The dispute with the Arabs has never been over territories, he warns. The truth is the Arabs have never been willing to recognize any borders for Israel, not in 1947, and not in any year thereafter. Their sole purpose is to eliminate Israel from the Middle East completely, and any advantage they cdt gain now is but a step towaiQ that eventual end. Elleter Llvneh, a thoughtful commentator, pobils out that despite the binocHOoa deteripilon of (he agreement as "disengagement", Cairo really gives up nothing. Israel withdraws from Us transCanal poaltion, releases the trapped Third Army, returns to Egypt full control of both banks of the Canal from one end to the other • without getting anythtaig in return. In the meantime, Egypt is left free to continue Its encoaragemrnt of terrorism. Its oil blackmail of the world, and the Arab world boycott of Israel. Is not Kissinger doing precisely what John Foster Dulles did In I9S« and 19S7, albeit more adroitly and with greater psychological finesse? It remains for a Rockford, 111. reader of the Jerusalem Post, one Mr. Roland Pritkin, to venture a pessimistic prediction. He recalls that six months af(er (he Munich ap-, peasement, Czechoslovakia was liquidated and within another six months World War)] broke out. History moves faster in the nuclear age, he says. Thirty days after Geneva appeateroeni, Israel will be extinguished on orders from Moscow. SIxt) days after Geneva, Russis will seize the IVIIddle l':ast oil fields, and within ninety days World War III will be In progress. It is a chilling prospect.

"COME TO ISRAEL AND BUILD THE LAND" — Golda Meir
The Yom KIppur War brought home to us more ttMO ever how lew we are and how vital it ia for us to grow and to grow quickly in those days of bloody lighting and of Isolation, we drew courage an<f strength from the stand of the Jewish people, which demonstrated in its acts ol Idenhfication with ut that we are Indeed one people. It ia hard to exprest in words how much this sirenglhened our spirit. But that is not enough. The meaning of a Jewish Slate is first and foremost an allyah-oriented State,
a State to which thousands of our brethren will immigrate and in which they will be absorbed. A strong Israel, an Israel whose future and fate are in her own hands—means an Israel in which many millions of Je{»8 are building their homes. For us, aliyah is our life-blood. Confident In our own stand, convinced of our inherent ability to overcome all difficulties, believing in the Jewish people, I call upon you: Come lo laratl and bulU the Land.
Prime Minister Meir
THE WORLD ZIONIST ORGANIZATION'S ANSWER Today, more than aver, Israel needs Jews who will come on Aliyah and (oin us—with their talent, energy, professional skills, experience and devotion-in building a free Jewish society, a commonwealth founded on values and deeds that shall attract every Jew. Therefore, Israel today appeals to Jews everywhere: Let all those whose hearts are attuned to the call o( Jewish hlslory and who are prepared to back Israel without fear or hesitation—let them and their families •migrate lo Israel now Come and join us In the thousands. Stand with us in the most fateful struggle in the history ol the Jewish peoptec. Immigration lo Israel today means: Jewish self-realization In its highest form: the practice of Zionism to the highest degree ftespond lo the challenge and coma to build Israet-a superb edifica tor future
