Abramson Urges Completion of Omaha Campaign Omaha—An urgent appeal to complete the 1974 Omaha Jewish Philanthropies Campaign waa iasued this week tqr AKin Abramson, campaign chairman. Noting that most Omaha Jews have responded quicUy to the critical needs in Israel created by the Yom Kippur War, Abramson said "those who have not yet made their pledges to the l»74 campaign are urged to do so now." Mr. Abramson said that the Yom Kippur War and the subsequent tragedies at
Pope Asks for Guarantees ROME. (JTA) - Pope Paul VI has apparently dropped the Vatican's long-held demand tlut Jerusalem be internationalized and instead is asking for international guarantees of the rights of Christians and Moslems in Uie ancient city. The Pope reportedly made his request during a 70-minute meeting he had with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger at the Vatican in which the Pope was briefed on the AmericanSoviet summit talks In Moscow and the Middle East situation. According to Vatican sources, the Pope stressed to Kissinger that Jerusslem represented supreme vslues for Judaism, Christianity and Islam and that this must be taken Into account In the future status of the city. The Pope reportedly indlcsted thst the Vatican Is no longer insisting that the city be a aeparate entity from Israel, Jordan or any Palestinian state that may be created on Iho Wast bank but that it was not enough for Israel alone to guarantee that all faiths have aocass to the holy placoa.
Shami, Nahariya, Maalot and Kiryat Sbemona, have created massive needs for funds to provide for the human needs of the people of Israel. "It is our responsibility to insure the continuity of these services." Abramaoo said, "and that requires the generous commitment of every Omaha Jew to the 1974 campaign." Mr. Abramioo uM Iha only • tmsll portloa of the conmunlly remalas to lie heard from la Ike It74 caaipaiga. "We want te complete the campalga by tlw end of this moalh," he said, "aad I argc all campalga workers te complete their MUcMaHoBS as •oon as possible."

The six barrels fire 3,000 20 mm. shells per minute at a maximum altitude of 2,000 meters. Peled disclosed that both weapons were used during the recent war of attrition on the Syrian front. Peled also said the Russians have supplied Syria with their newest and most sophisticated war plane, the HIG-23 and that Syrian piklU have already been trained to fly them. Israel has no aircraft to match the HIG-23, reputedly the world's fastest and highest flying combat aircraft. But according to Peled, Israeli piloU in their planes are still superior to Syrian pUoU in MIG-23s. He admitted, nevertheless, that the gap in Israel's air auperlority has been dangeroualy narrowed. The American answer to the MIG-23 is the F-14 and FVL, a multi-purpose fighter that Israel is interested in purchaaing, Peled said. He saM, however, that Israel is also considering the new American UF-16 and UF-17 which he deacribed as interceptors of great maneuverability that are leas expensive than the F-14 and F-IS. He said Israel's ultimate deciskm would be based on Its military and economic needs.

126 Stations Broadcast Anti-Semitic Programs NEW YORK, (JTA) "This U Uberty Lobby," a five-minute broadcast of "news" and commentary controlled by one of the most notorious professional antiSemites currently active In America, is being carried regularly by 126 stath>ns in 39 sUtes and the dUtrict of Columbia, a survey by tiie B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League discloaed. ' Lawrence Peirez, chairman of the ADL's national civil rights committee who made the survey public, identified Willis A Carlo, an "outspoken anti-Semite" who founded Liberty Lobby 16 years ago as a front for Jewbaiting and other racist propaganda as "the unpubliclzed force" iiehind the broadcasts. The program originated bi March, 1973 with only four stations, gathered 62 more outlets by Sept. and broke the lOl^tation mark a month later, according to John L.
(ioldwater, chairman of the ADL's national fact-finding committee which conducted the survey. As a result of a recent contract ilgned with the Mutual Broadcasting System. It will soon be available to Mutaal's netwoik of OMre than fM radio lUttons, the ADL reported. It is carried by most stalloos on a paid hash bat by seme as a "poMIc service." The nature of "This is Liberty Lobby" was indicated by its "daily attacks" on Israel and American Jews during and immediately following the Yom Kippur War last Oct. These attacks included descriptions of Israel by the program's commentator, Bob Bartell. as "a bastard state" and charges tiiat American Jews are subversive and disktyal. Goldwater questioned whether the managements and licensees of the stations carrying the program were
unaware of Its contents or "uncaring about their role In helping to peddle bigotry." Goldwater said that Carlo, 47, began to work as a "professional bigot and organizer" in 19M. He has served as a director of Ongress of Freedom, a rightwing racist organization and as an organizer for the farright John Birch Society. In 1966 he took over the once venerable "American Mercury" magazine and uaed its respected name for "a quarterly devoted largely to anti-Jewish hate." Carlo founded Liberty Lobby in Washington, D. C. in IIU as a money-raiser a'nd front for his "seamier operations," Gokhrater said. He IdenUfied Mr. and Mrs. BenJamin~D. Gilbert, the principal owners of the Mutual Broadcasting System, as heavy financial contributors of Liberty Lobby since 1966.
'Blacks andJews Are AMM/says Black Psyctilatrist NEW YORK. (JTA) - Dr. Alvln F.

"The historic alliances between Jews and Blacks have been important to the individual advancement of both groups and the Black community should not relinquish this alliance on either the Israel dispute or quota arguments," said Dr. Poussaint. He said he saw grave dangers if Iho current schism between Biaek* and Jews In America continues to

Chid Taken from Morgue To Avoid PossMe Autopsy JERUSALEM, (JTA) — A young mother removed her dead infant from the morgue at Hadassah Hoipilal last week for fear that an autopsy would be performed without her consent. Prof. Alex Itussel, head of pediatrics at the hospital, said that autopsies were never ordered against family wishes but that it was essential to confirm the cause of death in this case because the child is believed to have succumbed to a rare diieaae that is hereditary. Threc-month-old Itai Moshe Ankari of Kiryat Arba was admitted to the hospiul three weeks ago with an acute digestive disorder. He died last Thursday. Doctors asked permission to perform an autopsy and, according to Dr. Russei, the family a^-eed but later changed their minds. The ailment was diagnosed as nectorizing entercolitis a rare disease that is usually fatal and difficult to detect. Dr. Russei said it was important for the dead child's brothers and sisters to know whether the diagnosis was correct becauae the disease is suspected to have a genetic cause and could afflict ether children of the family.

Yeshiva Students Clash With Christian Students JERUSALEM, (JTA) Police arrected 14 Americaq yeshiva students last weelt. and released all without charges, after a clash between them and students at the Christian American Institute of Holy Land Studies. The yeshiva students were attending the "Dispora Vethiva," which neighbors the American Institute on Mount ZIon. The squabbling. In the tradition of Jerusalem's inter-detwminatioiul squabbling, was over a building on Mount Zion claimed by both sides. The American Institute apparently took poasession of the building. The yeshiva students moved into regain possession. At that point, the polkx were called. The building apparently belongs to the Anglican Church which has leased it for years to the governmentcontrolled Mount Zion Commission. When the lease

apparently expired, the church handed the building over to the American Institute. A "Diaspora Yeshiva" student said that the American Institute, directed by the Rev. G. Douglas Young, was "most definitely a missionary organization." But the Rev. Young is considered here to be a solid friend of Israel and his frequent letters to local newspapers bear out that assessment.

TEL AVIV, (JTA) - A group of 63 boys who lost their fathers in Israeli wars took part in a mass Bar Mitzvah ceremony at the Habad village near here. Some SOOO guests, headed by Chief of Staff Gen. Mordechai Gur, Joined in the celebration which was also attended by all the students who were Injured at the recent Maalot incident. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who came specially to greet the Bar Mitzvah boys, presented each boy with a medallion. He said that their fathers gave their lives for one goal, the establishment of a peaceful future for Israel. The Premier said to the boys, "You are part of the new history of Israel. Ypu will also have to learn the art of war but it is my true wish that you never make use of it."
He told the audience that while in the United States as ambassador, he met with the Lubavitcher Rajj^i Menachem Schneerson.'iMio told him that, according to Jewish tradition, the nation of Israel was chosen and is a nation that lives alone. It is for that reason, said Premier Rabin, that Israel fights her wars alone and will continue to do so until she ha^ constructed a Jewish State bated on Jewish values, peace and security. The widow of Col. Shiomo Alton, killed in the Six-Day War, spoke on behalf of the widows present, while Shalom Avner replied on behalf of the Bar Mitzvah boys. There were 18 Yom KIppur War orphans among the Bar Mitzvah boys.

NEW YORK, (JTA) Alexander and Yevgeny Levlch, the two sons of Soviet scientist Benjamin Levich, have been told they will be permitted to emigrate to Israel, the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry reported June 27 but the SSSJ was unable to confirm reports that the sons were told they will be allowed to leave before the end of 1974. The Soviet practice is normally to tell Jews given exit permits to leave within a matter of days or weeks. The Levich brothers have been seeking exit visas^or more than two years. Their father, a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, applied to leave for larael mor« than two years ago and was fired from his Moscow University post and from the Institute of Electrical Chemistry. A few hours later, the father was told he had been given permission to emigrate. The Nationtd Conference of Soviet Jewry said the Soviet decision was obviously made to coincide with President Nixon's visit to Moscow. The Conference welcomed it but pointed out that "vague promises" such as this had frequently resulted in persons having to wait even longer for their exit permits. Men who say women can't be realistic will be happy to know you can now buy a bk>nd wig with dark roots.
Center of Omaha is slated to receive a $3,000 grant to pay for bringing this series of programs to Omaha. The Nebraaka Arts CouncU is the local arm of the National Endowment to the Arts to which the U.S. Congress annually allocates funds for the perpetuation fo the arts in this country. The $3,000 will be matched locally. Zalkin attributes the uniqueness and newness of his department's proposal for securing the grant. "I'm sure the Nebraska Arts Council was impressed by the Jewish orientation of the programs for their ethnic value to the community and because they ar^e something new," he said. He added that "the awarding of the grant illustrates the efforts Ruth Katzman has made for the Center. "Jerusalem: City' of ManUad," the first of the three shows, is to be presented here in October. A major photographic exhibition, it captures the diversity of contemporary Jerusalem through the images and comments of 21 international photographers whose personal perspectives form a comprehensive view of a unique city. The exhibition also includes, a ten minute audio-visual presentation of Wcotor slides. Produced by the International Fund for Concerned Photography (ICP), in collaboration with the Israel Museum and the City of Jerusalem, the exhibition had its premiere at the First International Triennale of Photography in Jerusalem. Following appearances at The Jewish Museum in New York, the exhibit wiU be displayed in Boston, Los Angeles and Omaha.

Reign of Terror Continues for Jews in Syria ByUVOCAPUTO official vUit to Uie ghetto of Damtcui, where more than four thousand Jewi have lieen living for more than twenty-five years in conditions of semisegregation, is ending. After a short inspection of the main synagogue, we got our escorts' permission, by insisting a great deal, to walk through the district and to take some photographs. OMT
The limitations which the authorities have imposed on our entry into the ghetto are perfectly plain: 'No questions; no interviews.' Suddenly, a girl comes out on the roof of one of the buildings and starts inivelghing against our escorts in more and more excited tones. She must be twenty, has a very beautiful round face deeply marked by grief, her brown hair is coiled high, a black sweater makes her face even paler. Unfortunately, she speaks Arabic, ,Bnd we cannot understand what she says. But wheq we shout out, asUng her to speak English or French, she makes a gesture more eloquent than any words: first she points at the policemen and then, using her hand as a knife, rubs her throat over and over again to Indicate that she and her unlucky co-religionists could be' slaughtered. Pandemonium breaks out. Two of the secret police grab my arms and try to drag me towards the car. The other two face Mauro Galllgani to prevent him from snapping pictures. While I am wriggling, two women make their appearance near the girl in black — a girl student in a khaU uniform and a matron about sixty years old — who 1n their turn begin to hurl imprecations at the policemen. A fourth woman, in a comer of the terrace, grips her face between her hands and worries about the consequences that the boldness of her three friends may have on the whole dUtrict. 1 don't know who the women were; they were still yelling when our escorts succeeded in pulling us away. But three things are sure, hi my opinion; first, they weren't 'poor madwomen' at all, as my escorts hastened to explain; second, their demonstration is the nioct categorical denial of the Syrian statements that the Jews of Syria are perfectly happy and pleased with their condition and have nothing to fear from the authorities'; and, finally, that, as soon as we turned the comer, the three wretched Jewesses had to deal with the policemen. Till 1948, the Jews of Syria numbered forty thousand, and for two thousand years they had dwelt In peace with their Arab neighbors. But with tbe birth of the Israeli Slate, the policy of the Syrian Government towards the
Israeli minority changed radically. Tbe Jews, considered now a kind of enemy fifth column, have been subjected to worse and worse restrictions and vexations. Most of the members of the community succeeded in emigrating in the 'fifties, but the Ba'ath coup d'etat in 1963 ckwed the borders and the survivors are virtually prisoners in a country which they once considered their native land. Their situation has become agonizing, especially since the 1987 war. Recently, a series of dramatic happenings has called attention to the endless suffering of these afflicted people. In the second part of 1971, twenty Jews, among them a number of women and a child four years old, were jailed without any reason and only released, in two different stages, by order of President Assad, after several months of detention. At the beginning of 1973, two young people whose names are still undivulged travelled through Burope and denounced the arbitrary imprisonments, the tortures and discriminations that their co-reiigionists systematically endure at the hands of the Secret Police. Syrians of Jewish origin — so said the two young Jews, who had fled from Damascus some months before — have the word Jew printed on their identity cards, as Jews had in Hilterite Germany: they cannot leave the town where they reside without a special permit, they are excluded from all Government appointments, from the army and from the universities, and are cut off from all contact with foreigners. On 7 March, we got the most horrifying news from Beirut: the bodies of four Jewish girls, the sisters Sara, Uira and Tony Zebah, and their cousbi Eve Saad, had been discovered in a cave near Asfura, on the border between Syria and Lebanon, raped and torn to pieces. At first, it was thought to be a political crime. But the Syrian Government, considering tlie delicacy of the situation, took the unusual step of disclaiming any responsibility. It was at this point that we arrived in Damascus to make our inquiry. The Information Minister confirmed that the murder of the four girls had no political meaning and was a case of common crime. At my instance, the Syrian authorities allowed me to meet Selim Toiha, president of the Jewish Council of Damascus, a distinguished gentlemen about seventy years old, and Ibrahim Hamra, thirty-flve years old, the new Chief Rabbi. The interview look place outside the ghetto, in the elegant shop of Joseph Jejati, the richest and most prominent man of Syria's Jewry. The talk would have been rather illuminating had not both evidently been
intimidated by the presence of a Government official, who — never let them out of his sight. In spite of all controla, we succeeded hi arranging a meeting, out of reach of microphones and inquisitive ears, with a leader of the Jewish community. It was a. strange talk, marked by long pauses when our interlocutor was obviously attracted by the idea of teUing us the real truth and, at the same time, scared of the upshot. Not-'
withstanding some reticences, certain elements were disclosed that should be borne in mind in the future international negotiations. We have always maintahied that it is necessary to recognize the lawful rights of the Palestine people; but neither must we forget the rights of the Syrian Jews (and those of the Iraqi Jews who are, if that is possible, treated even worse), because, being so few, they are exposed to the risk of being sacrificed.
1. The Syrian Government, in effect, has no direct responsibility in the affair of the four girls, but the Press has launched such a hate campaign against Israel that, to many Syrians, killing a Jew almost looks like a virtue. In addition to Tony Sarah, Lora and Eve, two young men of the same age, Kassem Abbadi and Nathan Shaya, were killed a little while ago while endeavouring to cross the border. 2. Most Jews live in a state of
constant terror: Police vigilance over them Is merciless and, if a group of friends meet in the synagogue, that is enough to be suspected of plotting. 3. All kinds of arbitrary actions are taken against Jews, by private citizens, too, and the Jews have no possibility at all of defending themselves. 4. Whenever relations with Israel become exacerbated, a new turn of the screw is applied to the community. ,^
