NEW YORK - The United Jewish Appeal's national Young Leadership Cabinet may be opening its doors to women for the first time in its 14-year history — if the Cabinet decides to abide by the vote of iU Executive Committee taken last at August. Although the decisions voted by tte CsJsisct's Executive
Committee are supposed to be final, there are moves afoot to rescind this one, and have the Cabinet retain it's men-only policy. The struggle by both women and men to include women in the elite and prestigious Cabinet, which is the training ground for the UJA's top volunteer leaders;and the current efforts to keep the group all-male were revealed in an
exclusive investigative report by Amy Stone in "Ulith" magazine's second issue, dated Winter 1976-77. "Lillth" is the new and independent quarterly exploring the world of the Jewish woman, with headquarters at 500 East 63rd St. in New York City.

said, "The United States has paid its full contribution for the period in question of $31,850,300. We believe other members are expected to pay their assessed contributions under the General Assembly resolutions setting up the finance mechanism for the force." The spokesman added "It Is now up to the United Naiioss Secretary Gssers! to decide how to proceed.'' The issue arose when the Soviets decided not to pay their share of the cost, leading to speculation that the action was a warning to the Carter Administration that the USSR , roust be included in any new U.S. — sponsored peace Initiative in the Middle East. The Soviet Union said in a brief note to the UN it was withholding about $4.4 million hi contributions to the UN force policing the IsraeliEgyptian Sinai accord. The note said "The Soviet Union had nothing to do with this agreement, concluded on a separate basis and actually circumventing the Geneva peace conference" on the Middle East.

Mon Haifa - It takes- a long -memory to recall those bright day» In the mid-1950's when France was Israel's best friend in the world. Thousands of Israelis flocked to join Israel-France Friendship Leagues, and thousands more lined up to enroll in classes of F r e n c h l a n g u a g e and literature. In writing about this in 19571 referred to it as a "French fever" which seemed to have gripped everyone here. It was marked by a "Great national wave of love, respect and admiration for the French", I wrote. There were reasons at the

The advertisement contends that the Zionists denounced Congressman William Stratum's legislation to grant entry into the United States of 400,000 displaced persons In 1947. Nonsense. The American Jewish Conference testified In support of the Stratton Bill. Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein of Rochester, who later became chairman of the Conference, was a witness for American Jewish organizations, including those led by Zionists. Our published records show that in 1943 the Conference urged that the Stratton bill be strengthened and that its discriminatory features be removed. *
The meanest Arab propaganda smear is that American Zionists opposed admission of Jewish refugees into this country during the Hitler holocaust because of their preoccupation witb the struggle against the drastic restrictions'of the infamous Palestine White Paper of 1939.

| Letters to The Editor} AFINEEXPERIENCE This year, for the first time in years, I'm a worker for Jewish Philanthropies. The women I was asked to call all were most gracious and aware of my hesitancy to intrude, and then ask them to increase their pledge. At least half "my women" volunteered an increase. My dreaded job turned into a beautiful experience, strengthening my "Jewish bond". I didn't volunteer because of a recent trip to Israel, or an affiliation with the Russian Jews. •

that the very treaty of extradition now so cynically ignored, was signed by France In 1971 after years ol procrastination because Paris wanted Israel to send back one CUmfa Up. ski, accused of fraudulent deals. LIpsW was sent back, and three other Frenchmen wbo had sought refuge from French law In Israel were also subsequently returned. In the only Instance where Israel Invoked the extradition law, to place on trial the master-mind of the Munich massacres, France refused. , The moral collapse of a once .great nation is a pitiful thing. LitUe wonder that French culture, too, is in a state of decline In the world. The French language has been all but supplanted by English. French books, films, art, music are of relatively little importance in the world of culture. France, seeks desperately to restore and bolster up its declining position. It has sold a nuclear plant to Libya. It will build nuclear plants for Iraq, with a supply of uranium. That this means nuclear devices can now easily find their ways Into the hands of Irresponsible terrorists Is of no concern to a 'morally decadent state. Perhaps the French people might yet.awaken to what is happening to their once glorious country.

'No Longer Strangers' OMAHA - Over 80 ladies attended the first annual IntraFaith Tea held at Temple Israel on Thursday, Jan. 20. Mrs. Martin Warren, chairman of Temple Israel Sisterhood, the sponsoring organization, said "I hope we are not being premature In calling this an annual event. It is our sincere hope that it will be. "Until the morning of the teli we thought that it was a true 'first', but we discovered that similar teas had been held years ago and were discontinued 15 years ago." The purpose of the tea was "to bring together women from all the synagogues, the various organizations, women : who live in the same communty but somehow do not get to know each other," according to Mrs. Howard Kenyon, tea chairman. By making the seating totally random, assigned by matching a nametog to a similar table decoration, the organizers hoped to enable strangers to sit together " and leave as strangers no longer." This device proved to be quite successful, according to Mrs..' Warren who noted that there were women from Offutt and .Council Bluffs as well as Omaha. . A program pf, Jewish humor, presented by Mrs. Phillip Spizman of Temple Israel^ Mrs. Norman Denenberg and Mrs. Norman
Whitman of Beth El and Nancy Katzman of Beth Israel, was very well received by the group. Mrs. Robert Wagner, who directed the program, said thatltwM be presented to and by other groups.

1977 Women's Philanthropies
Women's Division started as a gimmick to raise plus dollars some 30 years ago and was so successful that it became a permanent and vital part of the General Campaign. In 1974 we raised 170 million. I'm not sure we can any longer consider this kind of money "plus giving". I've never liked the idea or even thought of my own commitment as the plus gift. Plus giving is tokenism, monies raised through cake sales, bazaars, and rummage sales. We've grown beyond that. We conduct a year-round sophisticated campaign of education, constantly developing new ideas and techniques, and using top talent and resources. My commitment, as I mentioned, is not made as a plus gift to my husband's, nor does it have primarily to do with my being a woman. Mine is a moral responsibility that I, as a Jew, must assume simply because I have no choice— certainly not if I am concerned with the Jewish survival of my children and their children after them. The justification for Women's Division is the same as for any other women's organization. Women are a part of' the community, live in the community, and have a responsibility to the community. Almost every Jewish woman in America has some . money she can call her own. Not an inheritance or an income from a family business" but her household . allowance or her personal spending money or her charge accounts. ' ' . - At Campaign time the question often arises, "Why separate women's gifts?" Some .women who are so forceful In seeking their rights in business, in the professions, In the arts, and In the voting booths should not try to abdicate their responsIbiUles in this particular vital area of compassion and humanity, In the traditional Jewish family one never beard the expression, "My husband gives". The Jewish mother classically accepted it as her obligation/NOT AS A WOMAN, but as an individual in her own right to be her "brother's keeper. In fact, it was she, rather than her husband, who filled the "pushke" boxes that bung oh the wall and which were for Israel and the poor.

Correction
The Women's Division is the modern expression of this ancient womanly involvement. It is a matter of evolution and refinement of technique, not a new purpose or concept We cannot overlook the fact that through a woman's involvement comes the education of the family, and often a woman has a profound influence on her husband. . This Is why, when asked, "Why a Women's Divlson?", we respond in typical Jewish fashion with another question: "How can women not give of themselves and their funds for Jewish survival?" * '
