And Jordan li Paleitlne-take the Paleatlnlans away from Jordan and you would h|ve no people In that country." She told her youthful audience that Israel feels it can continue to rely on the United States, that she believes it would siq>port Israel If Syria started a war because "I, Israel is the only democracy in that Middle East area; 2, the Russians would be making moves and 3, the U.S. has a moral obligation to the Jews' because of Its devotion to (reedom and democracy. She asked how many in her audience had been to Israel. Only six raised their hands. "Nothing can show you Israel better than being there," she told the crowd. Then she added, "Israel is knowing that your grandchild may not have to (Ight a war, but that your son who will graduate from school soon will have to enlist in the military." She then answered a number of questions: -me oil BttuaUoa: Is there any reeearch In profreee to create another fuel simply (iolar energy) ao u to eUmlnata dcpendney on Arab oilf "There are four itataa In the U.8. that cbuld find mare on than the Arabs aupply tiila country wtib If the eftart were made.

The man on the street is ignorant of the true nature of the situation. And the Arabs know very well that ttie moment he (eels the least bit uncomfortable, he'll look (or someone to blame, and the Arabs will offer him the Jews." Ann Goldatein (3S1-106O) Is in charge of tbe young leadership effort. Any interested couples or singles are asked to call her.

ByYItxbakRaM NEW YORK (JTA)Fornier Israeli Premier Golda Meir declared here that Israel will fight for its existence "even if we are alone ... We will (Ight with everything in our possession. Israel will not commit suicide like the heroes ofMasada." Mrs. Meir spoke forcefully and with emotion to an audience of more than 3,000 American Jewish leaders attending the closing dinner of the United Jewlsii Appeal National Conference given In , her honor at the New York Hilton Hotel. The former Premier was greeted by a standing ovation that lasted several minutes and was repeatedly Interrupted by appiatoe. the' Conference, which began Friday, ushered in the 1975 UJA campaign. She scornfully rejected Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy's demand that Israel close its doors to immigration for the next 50 years and return to the 1947 partition boundaries. "I aak you, can't we be Jorthcomlng lor a change and accapt that fbr the sake of peace?" atae aald. "In what a peaceful atmosphere we will live In (YasIr) Arafat'a 'aacular state,' tba

'democratic secular state' with 80 yeara of bnmigratkm, with no new child bom, I leave It to your Imaginatloo." Mrs. Meir also denounced the United Nations and UNESCO (or attempting to isolate Israel and deprive It o( Its right o{ membership. It is not Israel that has been isolated, she said. "The UN is isolated from everything that Is decent and moral in human life." Mrs. Meir stressed that she no longer spoke in the name of the government but as a private cititen of Israel. She said she could not promise that the Yom KIppur War was Israel's last war. She said that Israel would never, under any circumstances, negotiate with the Palestine Liberation Organization, even though UNESCO, which deals with education, prefers Arafat over IsraeL "Who knows better about schools and children than Aralat?" she said, re(errlng to the massacres at Maalot and KIryatShemona. She stated that she believed the (uture "existence o( the Jewish people depends upon an Israel safe, alive and developing. If. you believe that, then everything Is worth while," she told her audience. (Continued on Page 3)

74 Omaha Check for UJA Is Presented by Rubinstein NEW YORK - A check for $25,000 - Pledges to the United Jewish Appeal made by Omahans In 1974 — was presented to the UJA National (inference last weekend by Herb Rubinstein, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. The conterence drew some 3,000 American Jews "(rom communities just like Omaha," Rubinstein said, although no other Omahans were present. "One of the speakers said the state o( affairs today Is Just like that of 1938, when World Jewry allowed German's Jews to go down the drain," Rubinstein related. •But he said this time. World Jewry is united and Israel Jewry Is armed — for the first time In 2,000 years. "He toU Amcrica'a Jawa to take heart, that Jews have

never been a people of deipair, but rather a people of optiinlam, tbat th^ muit believe In miracles.") The crisis is now, Rubinstein emphasized. "The Jews of America and Omaha have to replace the despair some feel with action, one form of which is by campaign pledges, which demonstrate confidence. "Israel faces a hostile wot-ld, declining income and many serious social problems," said Rubinstein, who lived In Israel for 20 months prior to coming to Omaha. "But after the conference, one (eld sure the problems will be solved. "Optimism and good works have always characterized the Jews. We have to believe In miracles — and at Hanukkah time, such belief is all the more appropriate."

United Press International. Ttie disparity between tbe fact and OctkM la even greater wtiere alleged Jewish control of banking is concerned. Not only have Jews never contcoUed American finance; they actually were excluded from commercial banking until recently. Even now, they are minimally Involved in that industry, A study by the American Jewlah Committee established that overt exclusion of Jews from commercial banking Industry was practiced until a very few years ago. Fortune, one of the leading high finance magazines in the country, sUted in 1940 that "Jews very definitely do not run banking." In vm, tut) 0.« perocnt of n^OOO bmrinn In the U,8. were Jewa. In 1942, a Uttle over tliree percent of dlrectari and tiuMeea of banks beknglnf to the New Yotli Cleartag Houae AaaortaHnn ware Jewa. TUi at a time when 10 pereaot of New York's papulattai was Jewlah. ^MTB were practkaUy no JewWi enployeeB In the largeat commercial banks. taet year, a survey of 25 banks - not neceaaarily the largeat - in 10 cities outside New York found Just one Jew among 377 aenk>r officers, or 0,27 percent. In mldcfie management the proportion was 1.26 percent, libe survey last year has shown tliat the proportion of Jews on boards of directors was 5.30 percent, but It is not known whethei some such ratio holds for tbe industry as a whole.

Even when they were at ttw height of their development, the number of these Investment houses and their combined assets represented only a small part of the American banking system. Their assets could not be compared with those of Chase, Morgan, Rockefeller and other financiers of the old American stock. General Brown Is not considered an anti-Semite. He la juat one of those innocent Americans who fell under tbe Influence of the recUeaa canard about "Jewish control" and gave expresakm to It. He did not bother to establish that this canard — used every so often by hatemongers — has been discredited over and over again by all objective facts. The fact that he later regretted hla "aU-t»caaual remarks" and repudiated them Is well accepted, but in his Ignorance he strengthened those who preach mallcioiia anti-Semitism.

Inside Judaica By Dr. Fredarlck Ladman •iiKirtlvt Editor, Unticttprnma ^u^t^a

A. The term "Semites" originally referred to those people listed in the table of nations (Gen. 10 at descendants of Noah's son Shem(Sem),his five sons and their 21 descendants. In all, 26 people derived from him. These Include the Elamltes, the AsMirians, the Lydlans, the Arameans, and numerous Arab Early In the development of modem ethnology, however, It was realized that the list In Genesis combines people who often have nothing in common but geographic propinquity. "Semite" was Own defined by the supposed physical characteristics of the chief surviving representaUves of the original list, the Jews and the Arabs.

THINK

At the beginning of the 19th centurey, with the emergence of natkmalistic struggles, writers began to dlstlngush between races and to set one against the other. This was especially true In Ciermany where nationalist agitators extolled the merits and qualities of the Teutonic race. Jews who up to then had been Included in the whll« race were now considered as a race apart, an oriental one. A confusinon arose betwen languages and races, a mistake which had grave consequences. According to the Encyclopaedia Judaica, It was believed that the nations who spoke European languages, which were thought to have derived from Sanskrit, belonged to the Indo-Europena or "Aryan" race. In opposition to them was a "Semitic" race, represented by the Jews and the Araba. Progress in anthropology, enthnography, and pre-hlstory made most specialists gradually abanidon these simplistic conceptions. The "Aryan theory" continued to gain adherents among the general public, however, and thie anti-Jewish sentiment frrom then on was called "anti-Semitic." This concept implied a vague belief In the Intellectual or moral superiority of the "Aryans" over the "Semites," the tragic consequences of which are too well known to be stressed once more.

I Continued from Page 1) She said that If the spirit ol the Jewish people and the people of Israel remains Intact, "even If we are alone, and God knows that Is the last thing we want, even If left alone we can make It... We will win because we have no alternative."

For one thing, tbe text Is delivered in a dull, monotonous fashion. II lacks Die dranvitic hyperbole, the colorful exaggeration and hysteria of similar broadcasts from'Arab capitals. The latter at least provide a source of amusement to Israelis stnce the dlstortkNi of the news Is so obvious.

Hebrew. The writer must get tired some days. It's not always easy to fill 30 minutes, and so the program often repeats major portions of previous programs, irreq>ective of the importance of the content. Thirty minutes must be filled. The Soviet commissars don't understand Hebrew anyhow, so what's the difference? Who are these broadcasters? Perhaps former members of the Russian embassy staff in Tel Aviv, who learned Hebrew when they were in Israel? Former immigrants to Israel, Jews or otherwise, who were sent here as plants, and remained long enough to learn Hebrew in an Ulpan at Jewish Agency expense?

But this play Is different. The children, from 4<,^-yearold Melissa Margo to ft-yearold Susie Fellman, are reciting their dialogue entirely In Hebrew. The play, presented for parents and Dr. Sher Home residents, was part of the Hanukkah studies at the Omaha Hebrew Day School. Another popular project found Hlndy Najman, Susie Fellman, Lori Wertbeim and Suzanne Rlekes naillnR bottlecaps to rainbow-painted strips of wood.

OM Timer's Review BySamZwelbadt Those who thought their Thanksgiving luncheon at a recent JO Old-Timers meeting was "out of this wdrid" agreed that Hanukkah outdoes Thanksgiving when it comes to eating. So it seemed, at least, after our Tuesday, Dec. 10 gettogether at the Jewish Community Center, thanks to Mollle Delman and her girls and the culinary talents of Allen Turchin, the new JCC kitchen chief. Following prayers and the lighting of the Hanukkah candles led by Rev. Alex Katz, Mollle and her volunteers — Bernlce Kalman, Dorothy Rubenstein, Lil Brick, Helen Newman, Ida Potash and (welcome back) Lila Lutz — dished out a Hanukkah Feast: potato latkes, beef brisket, stringtwans, apple sauce, kugel, coffee or tea and cake for dessert. Needless to say, seconds, thirds and even a few fourths were dished out to our 84 "youngsters." We unanimously agreed that "calories don't count during Hanukkah." Because Pres. Marv Treller la bODM recuperating from aurgery, our vloei)resldent

took over tor the meeting, and bitroduoed three new m«sben - Harold Slegd, Louis Welabtrg and Marty Gilbert. Our guest speaker was Judy Ayers, who came through with flying colors despite l)eing shoved into the role of speaicer by the illness of the scheduled speaker. Mrs. Ayers Is a welfare recipient who serves on Mayor Zorinsky's Status of Women's Welfare Committee and also on the Task Force which is trying to give the public the members' views of being welfare recipients. Following her talk, which she supported with figures and facts, she answered all qtjestions. Many of Us were amazed at the problems and methods of handling welfare and it was very educational for us to hear from this mother of four children. Our next meeting, Tuesday, Dec. 24, at the Center, will feature Wayne B. Hemphill, chairman of the Omaha Chapter of the Service (^rps of Retired Executives (SCORE). We hope President Marv will be back with us then. Don't forget to call in your reservations to Use or Martha, 334-8200.

Concendng the Arabs, he aakl they "spent t7 milllan on (anti-Iaraei)' advertisfaig last year while American Jevrish organizations spent less than II mUlion.

He criticized American Jewish newspapei's, saying they "do not tdl the truth," that many are nwstly advertising and social announcements. Fein said American Jews have to face the truth that Golda Meir was not that wellsupported by her fellow Israelis, even though she was excedlngly popular — "Mother Earth herseir' with American ^ews. He said he believes Mrs. Meir shares the responsibility for the creation of the Palestine Liberation Organization becadae of some of her actkms as premier. But, he said, "the American Jewish community is now ready to love Israel, not just be infatuated with her" and that Jewish educatkxi is a key factor In this and in the revival of Judaism in the U.S.

Open Letter Many significant things have taken place in the Federation over the course of the last five months. Maurice Bucksbaum, as you know, is serving as the 1974 Israeli Bond Campaign Chairperson, and has an out'Standing program underway. Roselind Rabinowltz has been named 1974 All-In-One Campaign Cliairperson, and is in the midst of organizing the 1974 drive. The Community FacUities program Is going forward. An Architect Conunlttee chaired by Tim Urban Is in the process of selecting an architect for these facilities. Milton Brown, Chairperson of the Capital Fund Raising Ways and Means Committee, and this group, are making progress. The Jewish Community Center Is being headed on a temporary basis by Lou Williams, and (he Center program is progressing in a very meaningful manner, thanks to the assistance of Lou. who always comes to the rescue. Shlomo Benderiy is doing yoeman work and, as you may know, the Bureau is the recipient of the Charles Goodall Award 1974 of the Council of Federations and Welfare Funds for its outstanding achievement in the establishment of an innovative, comprehensive system of formal and informal Jewish education, utilizing all available community resources. We extend our congratulations to Shlomo and to all Bureau personnel. It . is also a pleasure to congratulate David Belin for his leadership in helping to reconstruct and revitalize the Bureau: Rabbis Berg, Goldburg and Cytron for their valuable service, advice and assistance and Dr. Gerald Ferman, Federation Director, for the valuable leadership that he has offered. There is much activity in the Iowa Jewish Home for the Aged. They have implemented many new programs. Our Jewish Family Services is in the midst of re-settling many Russian Jewish families in Des Moines, and in addition, is undertaking to carry on a very active family services program. It is appropriate to give special recognition to Marty Pidgeon, whose resignation was received this week, for the very active and important leadership role he has played over the course of the last two years for the Jewish Family Services Commisskm as Ms President. The Community Relatkms Commission is func^ tioning is a commendable manner. This year it is being chaired by Alvin Kirsner, who is ably assisted by Bob Mannbeimer and a very able Board. AD in all, under the professkmal giii<<»nr> of Dr. FemuB, the Federatkn is off to a fine start; however, tiwrete still nuicfa to do. I urge every comtltuent In the conumaiity who would like to participate in any way, to serve oo an agency board or be a part of any of tiie Pederatioo activities, to please advise us, so Ibey can

^ become involved in our Important work. t In the city of Des Moines the opportunity to continue f to be a leaderehip community and to develop into an even more viable and vital segment of the total American ; Jewish community is ours. n Moving beyond Des Moines, during the past five months which I have been honored to serve as the Federation's President, we have seen the growing ^economic and political might of the Arab nations pointed at Israel and the free world. They have and are doing so I in a fashion that will test whether or not Israel and the ' free world, especially America, can survive. Tlie combined force of Arab oil and petro dollars has ' unleashed an economic force that is unparalleled in modem times. The free world. In effect, is being told ' when to dance and to what music, and so far is respon' ding by doing the jig. Tlie Arabs, in maintaining extraordinarily high prices for their oil, ^re forcing the free world to the brink of economic disaster, and at this point in time, the free world Is standing by and paying the price. The ecooomlc Issues of the Mideast, in a much jtroader sense, attack the very foundatkm of tbe United [fltatM and of all free, democratic nattons of the world, [ne tae world is being tested, and its already inadequate

The time U now for Americans and American Jews to recognize that what is in the l>est interest of the United States is also in the Isest interest of Israel, and that our economic and political foreign policy must also follow this pattern. It is not enough to merely hope that the experience of the 1930'8 and 1940's — an experience in which 60 million people vanished in a Holocaust, 6 million of them Jewish — cannot and will not be repeated. This is not reason enough to assume that a similar attempt, but one that couldf be far more devastating, will not take place In the 1970's. This possibility cannot be Ignored. Israel is important to us as Jews, but It Is also important to us as Americans. Unless America stands up for the rights of the Israeli's and insures that a ]u8t and proper peace be permanently established In the Mideast, then nowhere in the free world will men be able to depend •Jon their inalienable rights of self-determination, which are inherent in this democracy and in democracies such as Israel. file braell's cannot go oo naicb knfw untoM ttaey b«ve the nitd Hvpoct o( dw United Stataa gownunait nd ttw JnrWi people araund liw worid, putlcnlariy In the Unllad Statee.

So, when you put all this tofether, the Arab petro dollars syndrome, the U.N. debacle, and General Brown we have Indeed witnessed unstable alemeots hi the world's chemistry that should cause all of us to be coni

As a result of these situations, the Israelis and their Jewish brothers around the world have realized a new level of solidarity. This solidarity must remain; It needs to be nurtured; it must grow. There can be no mistake that what happens at Duke University can effect what happens In Tel Aviv, and what iiappens In Jerusalem can and will have ramifications UuDughout the free world. As one reflects on all of these occurrencs. It becomes apparent that denHKracies, whether they be on this Continent or in the Mideast, have much in common, and that ultimately the self-serving interest of the United States will include the support of democracies throughout the world. For unless the United States recognizes that its best Interests are served by visibly supporting Israel against the Arab shieks and oil cartels, then the United States cannot survive as a dominant power In .the world to come.

In summary, I would Just like to say that although ^Ihe existing situation in many areas looks quite bleak and gloomy, we should remember that in an environment of adversity, there are many opportunities. LM us all do our part in turning these opportunities Into

One cannot fall to recall the recent U.N. spectacle made by that pistol toting, arrogant guerrilla, iciller of women and defenseless children, standing in front of the world forum telling them unless his demands are met, that the world could looic for more guerrilla activities which would In turn kill more women, and more defenseless children. The alternative to this. In Arafat terms, . would seek the demise of In-ael. One cfw gain very little solace from the untimely appearance of General Brown at Duke University, a man who demonstrated he knows nothing about the American banking and newspaper industries. More importantly, we have to question his ability to react to military situations, if he has difficulty in handlfaig a group of Duke University students. If he cannot withstand or cope with student pressure, how can be possibly withstand the pressure of a military crisis.
