By Jimmy Wlsch A J P A Pool Correspondent BOSTON (AJPA) - Jimmy Carter lashed out at the Ford Administration Sept. 30 at Boston's Airport Ramada Inn when he addressed the overflow audience representing the Conference of President's o! Major Jewish Organizations. Carter accused Ford or telling the B'nai B'rtth at Its, Washington convention recently that he gave full support to Israel "similar" to what the former Georgia governor proposed but that alter what had happened earlier "and because of the developments over the last few hourV' be had abandoned a speech he had prepaed to talk about a government that ought to be dedicated from top to bottom. fjpflrlng about specifics t o . "end the boycott", Carter said Gerald Ford's "similar petition" to his was reversed when "this Administration has gone a l o n g . . . and with the acquiescence of the President, eight or ten Administration leaders have testified against ending the boycott... I see no reason why we should let a foreign government usurp the Bill of Rights." Carter had reference to Saudi Arabia's Implied threat that if she did not get the Vf, billion in arms purchases ok'd she might have to use another oil embargo to pressure the United States into action. "Our foreign policy over the past few years has been amoral in nature... there has been no openness because a lot had to be concealed." Saying that he would never be intimidated by blackmail from a foreign government, the democratic candidate vowed "If 1 became president and there Is any Arab embargo of oil I will immediately embargo all shipments (of exports) to Arab countries... , Cartel" warned that "our country" should not be weak and "yield to Arab blackmail." It is because "we have no energy policy that wehavebecomevulnerablctoblackmalf." Speaking of Israel, Carter, who told the standing room onty assembly that "your Bible is ray Bible" said "Israel must have the right to exist and live in peace." He envisioned a' Palestinian settlement "under Jordan on the West Bank." But he did not believe the Israel should move back to her pre-1967 boundaries and believed that all negotiations between Israel and the Arab states should be "bilateral" and "direct." Quoting prophetic writings, he, chose to paraphrase Micha, "do gently, love mercy and. walk humbly with your God." Continuing on the social Justice theme upon which prophetic teachings are based, Carter said, "the concept of simple Justice... is that we ought to translate love for one another... we are not a melting p o t . . . we are a beautiful mosaic.. .we fit together to make.. . a nation which can be an Inspiration to all of mankind" Carter said that he wrote Senator Jackson a.

Who is Marriage Encounter fort It is for couples of all ages, with a good marriage who-want to grow in their marriage. The effects of the weekend can last the rest of your marrjed life. •Jimmy Carter addressing the Con!erenc* ol Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Boston, Sept. SO. letter asking him to revive the freedom of Soviet Jews to emmlgrate according to terms of the Jackson-Vanek Bill and also according to the terms, of the Helsinki Treaty in which' we solidified the Soviet Union's borders of Eastern ^urope. There will be another meeting on the human rights issues in 1977 Carter said. If. he were president he would call for the enforcement of the Helsinki agreement. Carter said, "The world should know that the Palestinian problem was not caused by Israel but by the nations who surround Israel." Speaking of domestic social legislation, he said, "We ought to have assurances that bills, are p a s s e d . . . and that the money goes where the need Is greatest." The Democratic .candidate said he would remove the restrictions against revenue sharing and especially in the fields of health and, education. He would also try to prevent Arab domination by shifting "from oil to Coal." Again he, emphasized that "If I were the Premier of Israel I would not relinquish control by Israel" and as a candidate and If'elected President he would not "ask Israel to return to her pre-1967 borders." Earlier in response to an introduction by Rabbi Schindler, In which the rabbi had referred to "Golda Meir when she was young," Governor Carter said Golda/Meir ii still "young" and vibrant to him and she reminds tiimsotnuchofhtsmother,"whols77." V The Jewish Journalists were allowed one spokesman to ask a question. , He asked Carter how his stand on negotiations In stages over a long period, according to his New Jersey speech, differed from the Ford Administration's step-by-step. ......._\. Governor Carter said he never said that bul advocated direct face-to-face bl-lateral negotiations between Israel and the states involved. He was also asked about what he would do to prevent the"Arab's from using their exchange students for propaganda purposes while attending American Universities and also possibly as accomplices and aids' to terrorists. He did not respond to that question.

A Myriadoi'Memories and a Fine Future By Barbara Simon OMAHA-Here is a familiar lament: "The Jewish home may have (ailed, the synagogue and the temple may not maintain their hold, but the Jewish Community Center will not fall; It represent* the spirit of the entire Jewish community, and ol all the phases of Jewish life. The cure for Jewish'Ills is more Jewishness and Judaism which the Community Center will provide. Written in 1976 to shake us Into Jewish consciousness? No. These words were written , In 1926 by William Bluraenthai, treasurer of the Omaha JCC boardj for the dedication book which, honored the opening of the center at 20th and Dodge. \ We have changed locations and style*, board* and member*, clothing and hairstyle*, but the reasons for having and participating in a Jewish community center remain the same., - The reasons for building the old Center in 1926 were the same reasons for building the new Center in 1972—as articulated by, Chuck .Monasee, one of the key planners and shapers of the new Center. "We were a generation for whom Judaism was Important We saw the Center as an instrument of survival. We believed we owed It to ourselves and to our kids. The 1967 Waf awakened our reaffinnatTon,'and, we thought "it was time to make an investment like the first group did in 1 9 2 6 , " : ' : : : . : . / • : • , . . • ',... / -

When Central High was the school where most Jewish teenagers went In the 40'a and 50's, the old "J" at 20th and Dodge gathered In the Jewish teens and their friend* every day after school for clubs, dramatics, sports and just plain "hanging around." Those teens are now In their forties and are the parents of the teens using the new Center today. As children, some of them attended Talmud Torah there, learned how to swim, and participated in volleyball and basketball games. There were after-1 school clubs, AZA Sweetheart dances, films on Sunday nights and Stage Night competitions. Their parents or older brothers and sisters might have gone to Sunday school at the "J", conducted philanthropies campaigns from . there, lounged In the Teen Room, read in the library, held all manner of meetings or entertained servicemen in the USQ lounge converted from the teenage lounge. Almost three generations gathered there for the same purposes as we gather at the new "J"—companionship, Jewish company, I n t e l l e c t u a l , c u l t u r a l and p h y s i c a l pleasure,' and a sense of Jewish Identity. While we are understandably proud of our magnificent new building (most visitors from other cities say they've never seen any Center to compare), the old "J" was a fine facility In its time.

Interestingly, the Federation contributed about the same percentage of the budget to help support the center then, as now—about 25 percent. The Center sponsored 15 clubs for teens and pre-teens ranging from AZA to Camp Plr« Girls; Scoots, J r . Hadassah, Dramatics ;Club and athletic groups. Not all teens who were members of the cldbs were members of the Center, since 497 young people were Involved In clubs. It offered classes in Yiddish, lectures by Rabbi Cohen and Rabbi Bengis, a Jewish Thought League which got together to discuss Jewish problems, and a Young Judea Club.
