m S^J;T 'srael is Vigilant as Arab Of Soviet Jews Summer Visitors Arrive
NEW YORK, (JTA) Mau attests of Soviet Jewish activists continued over the weekend even while President Nixon was eonferrlng, sightseeing and sociatliing with Kremlin leaders on his third summit trip to the USSR. The arrests, in some cases accompanied by physical brutality, were intended to avert demonstrations that might cmbartau the Soviet regime by callhig attention to the deteriorating situation of Jews seddng to emigrate during the Presidential visit. One such demonstration, a seminar of world reknowned sdcntiaU to have opened In UM Moscow apartment of Dr. Alexander Voronel, was cancelled for all practical purposes by virtue of the fact that roott of Its sponsors — including Profs. Voronel and VlUly Rubin - have been placed under arrest. The seminar had been planned a year ago to dramatise the plight of Soviet Jewish Mientlsts who have been ousted from their positk>ns and denied work after applying for exit visas. II was only by chance that the dates of the seminar and the PreaMential vUit coincided. MMnwtiile, Soviet Jews are trying to call their condition to the Pratldent's attention. Ten of them went on a hunger strike in Minsk. Four other Jewish activists are reportedly on a hunger strike in Odessa.

Israel'i "summer visitors" program through which thousands of Arabs from the neighboring countries have visited Israel since the SixDay War, ofOcially opened agsin this week. Tight security is being maintaioed on the Jordan River bridges and all the visiting Araiis are Ihonkighly searched to detect possible terrorist Infiltrations or persons smuggling lethal devices. Although terrorist Incidents usually increase during the "summer visits" Israel is determined to maintain the "open bridges" policy. Israeli officials believe this policy has helped teach Arabs In neighboring countries ' that the Israeli) are human and that the Arabs who live under Israeli control are well off. But security forces are taUng every poulble precaution. It is believed here that special ttrrorist units that have undergone Intensive training in L>ebanon are preparing for action in Israel. Reliable UMueS^ben have put the nwnber 0 members of terrorist orgi^izations at 19,000, half in Lebanon, mostly in 19 Palestinian refugee camps. According to
the sources, there are about SOOO terrorists in "Patahland," the hilly region of southern Lebanon and another 7000 In the refugee camps near Damascus. Israeli sources have reason to believe that scores of terrorists are training in the Soviet Union and hundreds in Arab countries other than Lebanon and Syria. Iliere also appears to be a terrorist network in Europe. Terrorist cells in the administered territories receive Instructions from commands In Beirut and Damascus, according to Israeli sources. But they lack equipment and most of the security on the Jordan bridges is to make sure that supplies for these terrorists do not get through.

Senators co-signed a cable to the President urging him to protest to Soviet authorities when he meets them and to "publicly reject these repressive tactics." The cable, drafted by Sen. Waiter Mondale (D. Minn.) declared that the wave of arrests and beatings of Jews in principal Soviet cities over the past week constituted "an appalling beginning for a visit that is aimed at improving U.S. - Soviet retotions and easing tenakms." In a separate message. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D. Minn.) said the arrests and harauments in advance of the President's visit were "an affront to the United States and severely detrimental to the cause of detente which this trip is designed to advance," Sen.

Israel's need for an increased population must be met eUber Iqr aliya or by an increase in the birthrate, Rabbi Goren said. He said (hat an increased birthrate would remove "comlete dependence on immigration." He noted that he had been pressing the Israeli government for greater benefits for families "blessed with many children." Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld, the Orthodox group's new president, said that unless the Jewish communities pay serious attention to this problem their "very existence may be endangered."

He was acquitted on a second count of conspiracy to commit a crime. Kahane was found guUty on the basis of letters and a cable he sent to JDL activiata In the U.S. exhorting them to sabotage Arab and Soviet Embaaaiea in Washington and to wbotage the American visit of Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev In June 1973 becauae of Russia's treatment of Jewa. The Kahane letters also urged his cohorts to Mbotage Americn economic inatifiitioos and commercial firms doing busineaa with the USSR. The militant, Brooklyn-bora rabbi was given a Iwo-yeer suspended sentence on June tt. Judge Yaacov Bazak, esplaining the convfcrtion, uid that although the vtolationa charged to Kahane were carried out by an individual, the U.S. could regard Israel aa reaponaiblc for acU of individuals if she did not prevent them.

A handful tH Jewi who •ventiwUy came to Omaha were among a group o( hardy ploneen who settled on free government land near Painted Woods in Burleigh County, North Dakota in vm. Ttie colony grew from the original twenty to seventyone Jewish families, but within three yean a combination of draught, severe winters, and prairie flrot forced the settim to give up, deapite financial assist aiife from the Jewish community of St. Paul. Some members of this cokwy went farther north and Joined a similar esperimciit at Devil's Lake, in Ramsey County. Among those who came eventually to Omaha were Ida and Julius Sherman and IMartin Trustin. In South DafcoU, Herman RMenthal and several others founded a colony in Davison County and called it Oremieux, in honor of the president of the Alliance taraellte UniverteUe. These cokmisla met similar hardshipa and failure, and although most of them eventually found their way to Minnesota cities and Chicago, some did come to Omaha. These Jewish pioneers, upt*arriving in Omaha, were at first shunned by their coreligionists who wondered what Uod of Jews these could be who had lived In the wildemeaa so far removed from their counterparts.

Omaha Jews remained auspicious of the newcomers until it: was diacoyered that one family had been at Castle Garden, the New York immigrant receiving center, at the same time as some who had come directly to Omaha. In western Nebraska, government land was made available in 1906 under the Kinkaid Act, and about nfteen immigrant JewWt famUiea aettled in Cherry Coun^, some forty miles from Hyannis, in »I0. At about the same lime, a settlement of Jews took place near Torrlngton, in eastern Wyoming, Just twenty mllea from Mitchell, Nebraska. Some of these western Nebraska and Wyoming colonists, including David Miller, also came eventually to Omaha. Jewish refugees arriving in Nebraska were aided by the organiution, in ini, of the Omaha branch of the Jewish Alliance of America, which had been founded for the purpose of estaMiahing small Jewiah communltle* in aome of the leu populated areaa of the country, particularly in the south and west. A committee was formed in Omaha to investigate the poMlbility of purchuing a tract of land within fifty miles of the city where a farming community might be established. The purpose of this plan was to provide the imrAlgrants with an occupation other than pediSing and to find work for them in area factories. Although the Omaha Jewish Alliance undoubtedly aided in the telllemeni of new arrivals in the community, plans for a rural coktny in the Omaha vicinity were never realised.
By Rich Pearl Omaha — It's back to Kansas City for Omaha's YAD this August. That was the lipifaot of Saturday night's big dance at Omaha's beautiful new Jewish Community Center — a dance that drew over 130 Jewish young adults from Omaha, Uncofai, Kansas City and Des Moines. The daiU:e, which featured music by the Scribner, Neb., rock band Velvet Haxe, waa originally planned aa a way of thanking Kansas City's young adults tor the party they threw for Omaha's YAD members about two numths ago. But the approximately 30 Kansas Cltlans who came to Omaha for Saturday night's reciprocal dance had such a good time that they invited Omaha's Young Adult Division members back down to Kaycee for another dance in August. That dance tai August, incidentally, Is expected to also include singles from St. Louis, Des Moines and at least one other city — possibly Little Rock. Ark., according to Kansas City leaders Linda Mayer and Jeff Katz. The success of Saturday njght's dance in Omaha has YAD leadera considering the possibility of inviting St. Louis, Minneapolis and Denver singlet to Omaha in the future. Other Ideas include KC and Omaha singles meeting in Denver or at a O)k)rado sU kidge for a weekend party. YAD is also considering visiting KC's Worlds of Fun amusement park and KC Royals baseball games. Among YAD's taW plans are a trip to Boulder for the Nebraska-Colorado football game.

Image of an Israeli Policeman Haifa — Israel has one police force, covering the entire country, and it is represented in the Cabinet with a Minister of Police. Like the constabulary in other countries, Israel's police force haa also been subjected to much criticism, particularly for the way in which they handle demonstrations. It is the kind of situation in which the police will Inevitably be blamed. If the demonstration gets out of hand, and begins smashing things up, as an uncontrolled, hysterical mob always will, tlie police are blamed for Ineffactivenesa. And if they stand firm and control the mob before it erupts, they are accused of being ruthless. It is always the inciters who complain. At a time when the news in the press is not always cheerful or heartwarming it was good to read recently the story of the image at least one policeman has created for himself in his own community. It was the tale of "Eli Shahar, a 3«-year-old custodian of the law, who constitutea the entire police department of the town of MIzpe Ramon in the hills of the central Negev, population 2300. I should like to think there are many other Israeli policemen like Ell Shahar.

Eli was borti in Tunis and came to Israel as a child with his parents and eight brothers and sisters. Now he has a wife and four children. For all his extrovert and friendly nature, he refrains from becoming too friendly with his neighbors or with local merchants.

p^rt |||: Arrival and Freedom EdHer's Nate: The following Is the third and final article in a series of interviews with members of tbe Russian families who recently immigrated lo the United Slates and who now live in Des Moinee. Having learned from them something about the incredible problems and pressures of Jews living bi and leaving Russis we wondered what were their first impresaions of the Free World. Alex Rutshtein, speaking for Ihe group explained, "We were so tired and prened that flrst days in Vienna', we couM not realize really where we are. It came with time and it look a large lime. I suppose in our case only maybe in Rome after several days there we began to understand really where we are and what it around us, what is going around. "So Ihe most pleasant impreaskm was Ihe HIAS organization in Vienna because it is very good organized and it has in Ihair staff very liind people, helpful, who really want and can to help the people fai Vienna and don't understand anything. And tbe most popular person there b Mr. Walter, that is one of Ihe employees. The people mainly speak wttti him and he is very helpful, very Uitd, very, I can say very Joyful. He is Austrian Jew but be speaks English perfectly and most important was not his English but his'always good mood. It was a very happy thing, loo, and the Jewish people lo contact lucfa a man

ki Vienna because at thU first western great city and a lot of problems there. People don't know German, people don't know the topography of the city, where to come and how to get anything. So they are very helpful there and I tell you they are very good organized there in Vienna. Well, It is a rather important thing. "When firstly we heard from him. 'Yea are Ihe free ptsph aad yea may cheese aad decide whatever yae waat Nabady caa preas yea aad aahedy can press yea to decide what he wants and yea doB'L And it was really the first impression of free world.

At this point, Ihe time had come for a final questkm and we asked "The day after you arrived in Des Moines was Passover and you went to to the first seder that night of Passover and we'd like your impresaiotts of that." "It was really flrst seder, not first on this Passover only but first for everybody of us in our life because I suppose you taiow that in Russia it is very difficult, if really poasible, to observe their religion.

was the first seder and it was very biteresting lo us to krak through all the proceeding of Passover and reading from Ihe Bible and also singing, because the chiMren here are taught and they know how to sing that special kind of ritual songs. It was very interesting to us. I say and I want to tell you that we have an impreaskm that such kind of Jewish religious hoUdtys are Ihe great factor of unity of aU Jewish people. We saw here it ffaitly in our life because no other Und of unity of Jewish people in our country. It was impossible. And so I may only tell you that we were greatly impressed and it was a great pleasure to ask to be on that seder and on the next day on Ihe second one, too, because Ihey were slightly different. I want to remember that the flrst seder was in house of Jim Wieder and the second was in home of Larry Engman."
