'Carriers' Found in Omaha Tay-Sachs Testing Program By Dr. Jamet D. EIMB Omaha — More than nine montha have elapsed tince the Jewish population of Nebraalia and weatern Iowa «ere offered the opportunity of taUng part in the TaySachs Screening Program. r A^total of 700 people were tested during the month of June 1973. Of that 43 were 'found to l>e possible carriers for the gene which results in Tay-Sachs disease. The remaining aS7 were notified that their tests were negative. The 43 who had abnormal test results were informed 01 these findings, as were their

physicians. They were told that it was possible that the results were a "false positive", and that a second and more precise teii had to be performed. This was strongly recommended to tiiese 43 individuals. Twothirds of these people came back for a repeat test. We have now Identined thirteen individuals as definite carriers for the single recessive gene for Tay-Sactis disease. This is a ration of l:S4. If the remaining passible carriers come in, luid tlie same percentages of falae positives were to be found, the ratio of carriers to normal individuals in our population of 700 would be 1:47. This compares with the national figure of 1:^. We are currently providing genetic counseling for the families of confirmed carriers. Fortunately, none of the carriers has an affected spouse, so that the risk of producing an abnormal child is extremely minimal. However, the caniers have been urged to contact their siblings so tliat th^, in turn, can be tested.

Hate Qroi^) Loses Tex Exemption WASHINGTON. (JTA) The National Youth Alliance, an avowed hate group, has had its federal income tax exemption suspended as a result of an Internal Revenue Service inquiry requested by Bep. Hugh L. Oarey (R,NY). Carey called for an IRS review of the organization last Dec. when he learned that the NYA, headed by former Nazi WUliam L. Pierce had a major ux exemption based on IRS approval of the. group's innocuous application. A check of NYA's application by Carey revealed that the group, which sponsors anti-Semitic, anti-Black mailings and publishes a magazine dedicated to violence, bigotry and political assassination, had listed itself as an organization "engaged in charitable activities . . . helping to build character, patriotism, a sense of community aiid an appreciation of the American heritage in young Americans."

Federation Board Approves Sabbath Hours for Center Omaha — A recommendation ' for limited programming at the new Jewish Community Center on Saturday afternoons was approved by the Board of Directors of the Jewish Federation of Omaha last Sunday. The recommendation by the House Rules Committee of the Jewish community Center had previously been approved by the board of ttie Jewish Community Center and by the Executive Committee of the Federation. The adopted recommendation provides for the closing of the Center from 5 p.m. Friday until 1 p.m. Saturday. Competitive events would not be allowed diring the Saturday afternoon open hours, however programs would be developed for all ages in all areas of the building which would place heavy emphasis on loosely organized gameroom programs, a variety of discussion groups, special holiday family programs, physical recreation and

family swimming. The-hope was expressed in the recommendation that the Rabbinate would be involved

'Streaking' Hits Israel jpiUSALEM, (JTA) It had to happen sooner or later, and on March 19 it did, though a modast scale. A man bravfng near freezing temperature., ran through the center of Jerusalem stark naked — a one-man demonstration of the streaking fad that's hit the West. Police were astonished by the sight and by the time a police van arrived the streaker was gone. Police were reluctant to give a precise description of the naked one and claimed they had scant information since the streading act took them by surprise.

both with respect to direct imput into special programs and also with helping staff set the general guidelines for the program. Federation approval of the recommendation followed a lengthy discussion which reviewed the objections by the rabbis to any plan for opening the Center on the Sabbath. Proponents of the proposal noted that of S possible alternatives geiierally used to determine Center Sabbath policies, the one recommended was closet to the stated positions of the local rabbis. Other Action Nomoan Batt, cliairman of the JCC Building Committee,' announced that May 15 has been projected as the completion date for the indoor pool, and July 1 for the outdoor pool. Other action of the Federation board included the approval of the appointment of Richard Zacharia as chairman of the Esther K. Newman Camp Department.

Omahan Finds Feeling of 'Desperate Hope'in Israel Omaha — Miss Beatrice Sommer, chairman of the Omaha 1(74 Women's Division Philanthropies Campaign, can k>ok back on four months of intensive activity with great satisfaction. "The starting date of our campaign was pushed forward because of the Yoflv>i^ippur Wiy," she said. "Butn«women of Omaha met the cluHenge and hopefully we will su goal of t300,000." Miss Sommer recently returned from a UJA Women's Study Mission to Israel. She noted tremendous changes since her first trip to Israel before 1967. "The enormous drive and energy I saw on my first trip, still characterizes Israel today.

despite the shock of the Yom Kippur War," she said. "However, there is a feeling of apprehension about the future, coupled with a desperate kind of hope." To Miss Sommer, hope is the essence of Israel. "Israel was Itie culmination of long years of hope. It is a salvation of all Jews who have been, and still are, persecuted in many parts of the world. It Is significant as well to American Jews who have not been persecuted. Israel gives us a feeling of security of pride, and an opportunity to work in partnership with our own people." It is this basic belief that Jews take care of Jews which it the rationale of "^Iss Sommer's activity In the UJA

campaign. "Working on the Philanthropies Drive Is the t>est way I know of giving thanks for what I have in the USA, and at the same time helping others so that they can lead a good life as free Jews as well." Miss Sommer noted that "we cannot compensate for the loss in human lives suffered by Israelis during the Yom Kippur War, but we can help ease the economic burdens created by the war. There is a desperate need for cash to provide for the constant flow of new Immigrants, and we must supply the means to serve these human needs. I urge all Omaha women to pay their 1974 pledges as quickky as passible," sba said.

He Interviewed the Syrian war prisoners together with Rabbi Bruce K. Cole, community consultant of the League's New York regional office and cosecretary of the CatholicJewish Relations Committee. Father Konrad said that they spoke to a sizeable group of the 396 prisoners. "They seemed to have difficulty in understanding why a U.S. Catholic priest and rabbi had come to see them. We had the feeUng that they looked at us as official emissaries of the U.S. government because they kept asking how soon would we permit them to go home." He told them that It wasn't up to the United SUtes, that they could go home as soon as Syria agreed to a prisoner exchange. According to - Father Konrad, the prisonen appeared to be in excellent physical condition, well-fed and healthy. He said he saw a modem dental clinic, a first aid ' clinic for medical treatment, and that hospital care in nearby cities was available for those prisoners needing it.

'i^Tu'J^ISZ., 'Last Chance' to Adopt The Genocide Convention

Washington, (JTA) IWhite HouK Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler laid March 12 that "nothing ii let" on a pouible viait by President Nixon to the Middle East this spring or early summer. Replying to questions relating to reports that Nixon planned to visit Egypt and Israel in May or June, Ziegler said he could not confirm plans for 'tuch visits but noted that the President has slated publicly bis interest in maUng such a trip. ' Nixon met for over an hour last week with King Hussein o( Jordan. The meeting in the Oval Office was also attended by Secretary of State Henry A: Kissinger and the Jordanian Premier Zaid Ratal. Ziegler said the disctisslons covered the "entire range of Middle East matters and developments" and were conducted in the spirit of close consultation that characterises tlie relations between the two countries." tOACMtSliWATBnUOST

LEVENSON'S

By Joseph Polakoff If Senate ratification of the Genocide Convention, dead for the remainder of this session of Congress, is not voted next year the likelihood of it ever winning approval virtually will become extinct. This opinion among informed Senatorial sources must come as a shock to those elements, particularly Jewish organizations, which have fought so hard and so long for the U.S. adherence to the United Nations treaty. Hopes ran high for ratification after two unprecedented actions took place in the contemporary Senate. The first was the KM vote by the Foreign Relations Committee in March of last year to report it to the Senate. The second was the actual debate within tlie Senate itself in late January and early February of this year. At no time in the 26 years since the U.S. government signed the convention in 1M8 has the Senate gone that far towards ratification. But a filibustering Senate minority prevented a vote to take place and blocked two attempta at cloture to end It. Hope for success next year rests in part on the fact that four of the Senators who voted to continue the filibuster have

announced their retirement at this session's end. Perhaps equally as Important is that one of liiem is Sam Ervin (D.N.C.), the opposition's intellectual leader and principal spokesman whose reputation as a constitutional expert greatly strengthened the minority. Despite these factors, it is recognized that failure again after all these years of trying will extinguish the enthusiasm that will bring two-thirds of the Senate to vote affirmatively. Senator Church, chairman of the Foreign Relations Sabcommittee on GenocMe, declared the treaty to be "a iignificant statement of human decency — a code of conduct, if you will, tor natlom to observe In dealing with their rellgiovs, ethnical, racial or national constituent parts." By remaining outside the convention, he said, Americans "tend to give substance to vicious allegations that the United Stales refrains from ratifying Ibe treaty because It wishes to reserve the right to practice gcnecMc at home and abroad. While we know this Is maliciously absurd, why give Is semblance of crcdaace in the eyes of the werld." With the opposiUon having argued that many of the 78

nations that adopted the treaty had wrapped themselves in reservations, ChUrch pointed out that he himself had offered a reservation that "states in a simple and straight-forward way" that by ratifying the treaty the United States retains the right "to bring trial before its own tribunala any of its nationals for acta committed outside the United SUtes." That cloture itself is not anathema to the Senate was borne out both before and after cloture was sustained in the genocide treaty debate. Hyman Bookbinder, the Washington representative of the American Jewish Committee who led the Ad Hoc Committee for the Convenion, was particularly disappointed that cloture was opposed by seven'or eight Senators who only ten days previously and voted for cloture on the legal services bill. "Where's their principle?" he asked rhetorically,. A month later, the Senate swept aside a filibuster that threatened to

"Through the deep suffering which is so clearly conveyed," Cantor Najman said, "one has a sense of the* remarkable optimism of the children In the camp. There are occasional touches of humor, of hope, of determination not to be overwhelmed by what was around them." X The drawings and these poems are all that is left of these children — they perished at Auschwitz. Cantor Najman urges "everyone in the Jewish community to make every effort to see the Boychoir perform this powerful and stimulating artistic documentation of a tragic and heroic era."

Be it remived that the overriding priority to improve the quality of Jewiih ^iife in De> Moine* is to provide the community with highly qualified profeiaionals and first rate progrnns. B. Be it further resolved that there are physical needs for the Jewish commiaiity of Des Moines including retirement type units and extended care b«xls to meet the growing needs on these services, a recreation-educational complex encompassing among .things a gym. youth lounge, ' classrooms, a library, an auditorium and meeting rooms. C. Be it further resolved that the Steering Committee submit a report to the Community Action Committee including the following: I) An inventory of what we now have in the way of facilities. 2) An evaluation of each existing facility, its appropriateness for present and projected programs and iu likely longevity. 3) An inventory of present and projected programs and the suitability of available facilities tor each such program. 4) A list of priorities for spending of community

S) A list of priorities for coostmction at facilities where adequate facilities do not now exist or where present faciUtCn are expected to become inadequate in the near future. 6) A Usl of options or alternative solutions for fulfilling the facility needs of the community. Jin Marcoals Mattoa Be it resolved that two subcommittees be appointed: 1. The first a* a program subcommittee which will evaluate basically the date received by the Community Action Committee to date (the Blue Sky Report, the Kaufman Report, the tapes of all the meetings of the Steering Committee and the Community Action Committee, and other data) be comprised of agency representatives, the three Rabbis, professional staff; they shall be divided into other subcommittees to deal with specific areas of programming; they will report back to the full Community Action Committee. 2.

usage. This suttcommittee will also report back to the Community Action Committee. 3. There shall be iiaaon between these two subcommittees as they progress in their work. The two subcommittees shall report back to the Conrimunity Action Committee as soon as possible and not later than M days from the date of this meeting, and the reports of these two subcommittees shall be published at least 10 days prior to the Community Action Committee meeting for consideration by the full membership. Stccriag CommlHee PrccepU I. Providing the community with highly qualified professionals is an overriding priority. II. The quaUty of JewUh lUe for all age groups is substantially enriched by physically interfacing the facilities of the Federation and its agencies mth the three primary centers of Jewish life (the congregations). A. The facility needs of the retirement population include retirement type units and exteitded care beds to n>eet the growing demands on these services. B. The facility needs for the young include a recreationeducational complex encompassing, among other things, a gym, youth lounge, claasrooms and a library. C. Facility needs for adults include, among other things, an auditorium, meeting rooms and a commucity library. III. In order to nuixlmally utiliie the present fadUUes available to the Jewish community and responsibly construct those new facilities needed, it is essential to carefully study the viability

over time of the present sites of the three primary Googregations. IV. These Precepts recognize the constructive and creative role *hat independent congregataions, repreaenting different religious approaches, contribute to the viability of adynamic Jewish community and that through diversity common goab cin creatively be defined and achieved. II was the understanding of the group Utal the above Precepts would be the guiding frame of reference for the two subcommittees developed in the Marcovis motion and the tasks of the Steering Committee embodied in the BelinLeiser motion.

A Home for Whom? By Jedy RaUn aa4 Dorothy Hockenbery Comment: I hear some poor Jewish people are turned down as residents at the Iowa Jewish Home. That is not the purpose of the Home. Pleaae thii* of that. Skirley Banky Aaswer: The Admissions Committee of the Iowa Jewish Home will not turn down an applicant because of inability to pay the full rate. The Admissions Committee first considers an applicant's need for our services and the ability of our medical staff to meet those needs. Occasionally the Admissions Committee will rind that the Iowa Jewish Home cannot meet the medk:al needs of an appUcant because: 1) The applicant might be dangerous to himself or others. 2) The applicant has a commmicable disease. 3) The applicant presents a

management problem in terms df unacceptable social behavior patterns that could be better handled in a mental health raclllty. In general, it is an uncommon situation in which the Iowa Jewish Homexannot care for a patient. The Iowa Jewish Home has been running at full occupancy for several years snd often has a long waiting list. Many times there is a long wait involving several months, and some applicants have been forced to aeek other health care situations. It should be stressed that theae individuals remain on our waiting liat as long as they desire and vrill be admitted wtien an opening riaes for them. Let me stress that the Iowa Jewish Home has not and will not turn down an applicant because of inability to pay for our services. The Jewish

Community has mandated the Home to meet the health care needs of its geriatric community and has accepted the -"ffesncial responsibility that such a nundate may require. Carl S. Ragat, ExecaUve DIrcclar of
