He said that the 19(i4 elections had been a boon to the radical rightist groups because they had been able ' t o win the respectability of association with a major political party" and to "expose millions of Americans to the virus of their propaganda." LA UK I, A. KATZ, B'NAI Bit ITU PRESIDENT commented on the re-affiliation of ADL With the National Community Relations Advisory Council after a 12 year break. He said the reaffiliation "expresses B'nai B'rith's long standing policy of encouraging practical and workable forms of unity without imposing uniformity in J e w i s h Life."

MOKE TEEN THOl GUIS It is utterly incomprehensible that any Jew can maintain that Judaism is an anachronisticrelic. The statement attacking the modern value of Judaism shows ignorance of what Judaism is. Judaism is a modern, dynamic social force, with a philosophy important to the modern world. For example, one of the teachings of Judaism is th; idea of social welfare — a program which the Children of Israel advocated and practiced centuries before a n y o n e heard of the '"New Deal." Judaism had its cwn "civil rights" centuries before T h o m a s Jefferson proclaimed "all men are created equal." Judaism has a philosophy of human dignity and individualism wh it'll are so advanced (hey have yet to be put into elfcct by any nation in the world. The cornerstone of American society is the mixture of various cultures, each preserving their identities, while creating one nation. The preservation of the teachings of Judaism—of equality, justice, freedom, t o l e r a n c e , man's responsibilities to his fellow men, and countless others, will not only enrich t! e lives of Jews, but will also benefit America and the entire world. Edward Zelinsky Age. 15 ABOUT THE SABBATH In the "Teen Talk'1 column last week I expressed myself poorly and it seemed to indicate that there is no religious meaning to the Sabbath. That is certainly not what I meant. I do believe that the Sabbath is a special day. When I attended services last F r i d a y night, this quotation was brought to my attention; Exodus 31:1&— "Wherefore the Children of Is rael shall keep the Sabbath . . . for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel, i Paula Magzamin MOKE MKMOS TO '•UNPOPULAR PAKENT" Some of the objectives of BBYO are: To help its members feel at home in the Jewish Community; to help its members enhance their knowledge and appreciation of J e w i s h religion and culture; to offer supervised leisure-time activities; to afford jts members group life experiences; to provide learning experiences whereby youths become ethical in human relation-ships, devoted and competent in the fulfillment of family and community responsibilities. As a member of BBYO for 4 years. I', believe in these goals as the basis for a wholesome youth program. Every parent must d e c i d e whether BBYO or any youth group is acceptable for his child, I certainly respect the opinion of "Unpopular parent" who, in his opinion, is doing the best for his yh p his own own youngster, youngster, II o only hope
that the members-of the community will allow each parent to make his own choice after h examining the programs of the
youth organizations and deciding what is best for his child. As long as we all respect the rights and opinions of both the individual and the organization, I'm sure we can maintain a unified Jewish community.Francie Hornstein
Mrs. Harry P r i e s m a n thanks her many friends for their cards, gifts, donations, and ether expressions ; of kindness shown her following her recent accident and hospitalization.
A LOSING ISAITI.r: What Mr. Siegel and other B'nai B'rith leaders fail to understand is that no one is objecting to the youth program which has been established by B'nai B'rith. The objection has been in the execution of the program which lea-ies much to be desired. The very fact that so many parents voiced a protest that resulted in lh*> meetings that have been mentioned should be an indication to U'nai B'rith that something is amiss with their program. All of the parents who protested can't be "troublemakers." I cannot accept Mr. Rosen's excuse o' "not being able to get proper advisers" With enough money and e n o u g h effort it could be done. But even if it's true that personnel is not available. B'nai B'rith should care enough about the young people not to perpetuate the evils of poorly supervised group activities. Let B. B. discontinue the groups until they can provide proper adult leadership. Many think it is a losing battle. Perhaps not. More than 150 high school students have not affiliated with a Youth Council club — the largest number ever. I predict the number will continue to grow until there are some changes made in the leadership of the B.B. youth programs. I hope so. Nothing is more dangerous than organizing young people and then lailing to give direction to all their energies. Another Unpopular Parent

However, the Negroes aren't the only ones participating in the demonstrations. Many 'others who are .sympathetic to their cause are fighting with them.

Jim Fried, Freshman "I definitely think so, because it's a right which all people deserve and a cause for which youth should fight for and Uikc ;i stand on." Susie Kndclmnn, Freshman "Why wouldn't they? We have the right to express our opinions on civil rights just as much as anyone else does." tee Fcllmau, Sophomore "It's a good idea.

News Flashes—Around fhe World J BUENOS AHUCS UTA)—Argentine federal police have set up a search for Hoist Kichmann. 27-year-old son of the late Adolf Eichmann, who disappeared after being involved with a Nazi ganij planning terrorism against leading Jews in this country. The existence of the gang was discovered accidentally when a police patrol combing a wooded area near the Ezciza International Airport for derelicts had been fired on by men who disappeared in the dark. The patrol located the headquarters of the attackers, finding large quantities of weapons and explosives, scores of swastika flags, hundreds of pamphlets bearing Nazi propaganda, a photograph of young Eichmann wearing a Nazi uniform. Also found by police were a list of 25 prominent Jews, evidently scheduled for'assault by the Nazis. The list contained descriptions of the homes and offices of a number of Jewish civic leaders and businessmen. Police authorities, who refused to reveal tho names of the Jews marked for attack, said that special agents have been assigned to guard the Jews on the list. The local newspaper, Cronica, reported that the gang was planning to use sonn small planes to drop explosives. PARIS fJTA>—A gang of five young neo-Nazis, equipped with uniforms, swastikas, weapons and dynamite, has beeii broken up in the northern city of Lille, police reported here this week. Th» five Nazis, whose ages averaged 17 years, had started drawing up a list of all of Lille's inhabitants, saying that "it cait come in handy one of these days." They had started amassing uniforms, regulation boots, and Nazi medals as well as a small stock of dynamite. Police said all five came from well-to do middle class families and all had received a good education. WASHINGTON UTA)—The White House will not name an official successor to Mycr Feluman as White House staff adviser to President Johnson on matters of Jewish interest. It was explained that Mr. Feldman, after leaving his White House post as special counsel to the President, would continue to be on call, at the President's request, to offer advice on issues of interest to the American Jewish community. It was also explained that Israeli-American relations are now considered normalized to the extent that a continuous White Housa staff adviser is deemed unnecessary. Problems pertaining to Israel will be referred to the State Department and to McGeorge Bundy, the President's personal adviser on world security problems in general.
