Greetings From Wayne. N. J. (JTA>—Thn Mayor of Wayne Township sought this week to rebut charges of ojiti-Semitism nguinst tin- comrmiiiitv growing out of a heated school board election in which volcrrs apparently accepted mi appeal to dcieat ivvo Jewish candidates for tlit board becau.-.e they were Jews. Mayor Edward Sisco made tlie effort in connection with his issuance of a .statement proclaiming Brotherhood Week in the prosperous suburban eonimunity. He said that "the basic facts involved in Die election were completely overshadowed by outside influences and outside news coverage." He called all the candidates "well qualified'' and declared that their sincerity "'lias never been doubted by anyone in the community." He insisted that the . voters "went to the polls solely to express their views on rising taxes and individual qualifications of the candidates."

The Protestant Mayor if; the son oi a Catholic. His .sister is a Jewish convert. He stressed that the 45,000 residents of the township had (or many years had the ''experience of livim; together, regardless of race, color or religion, in the. true sense of the American way." The Mayor gave his views after residents rejected n record SiUUO.OlJO school budget and defeated two Jewish candidates— incumbent Jack Mandell and Robert Krastss—in the election. A week before the balloting, Newton Miller, a Protestant and vice president of the school board, issued a .statement urging the defeat of Mandell and Kraus as Jews because Jews tended to be liberal "especially when it comes to spending money for education." He also noted that with one Jew. Fred Lafer, now a member of the board, the election of two more Jewish members could lead to Ions "of

what is left of Christ in our Christmas celebrations in our schools." In the controversy that erupted, o meeting oi the hoard approved, eight to one, a resolution censuring .Miller for bigotry and asking him to resign. Hefusing to quit, Miller made a public apology to Wayne Township's 2.500 Jews but refused to modify or retract his statement. A record tournout of voters defeated the budget and the Jewish candidates. Mandell told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he was "shocked and disappointed" at •the results of the vote. He said he bad not believed that the community had such feelings but he fell tliat Miller's statement had brought out Wayne Township's latent anti-Semitism. He said that the Jewish issue had not been raised when he ran for the board, or when two Jews were elected to the township council. He also said he felt that Willie thru; W3S dcCp COP.CC™

.West Orange, N. J. (JTA)—A second incident in a New Jersey' town, involving a public denunciation of a Jewish board of education member, was disclosed here (liis weekend. Frank I'. C o m b s, a Protestant member of the West Orange • Board of'.Education, publicly attacked the appointment by'Mayor Louis Falcone of Abe I. Charnak (o succeed Mr. Tombs. At a board meeting last January 9, Mr. Combs said (hat "unfortunately, Mayor Falcone appointed a person of the Jewish faith in my place, leaving a substantial portion of the community consisting of those of the Protestant faith, without representation on the Board.'' Mr. Charnak became the third Jewish member on the five-member board of West Orange, which is five miles west of Newark. The two other board members are Catholic, West Orange is 40 percent Jewish, 33 percent Catholic and 25 percent Protestant. However, Mr. Combs said the situation in West Orange was "quite different" from that of Wayne. "We have always had representation of all groups," be added. "I represented the Protestants for five years. This was not intended as criticism of the Jewish people." He called the appointment of Mr. Charnaeli an "injustice" and then added: "Let it be clearly understood that 1 in no way intend to comment or reflect «n the capabilities or religion of the gentleman who has been appointed." Noting (Mat the appointment would make Jewish members "a clear majority," Mr. Combs told the meeting: "Whether these three act in unison or not, at all times they will be held responsible, rightly or wrongly, by the entire non-Jewish Segment of the community for everything Ihat is not to their liking."

among the township residents over the school system's costs, "anti-S e m i t i sm overshadowed the budget issues."

Oaiiy iinyans for H.Y. State Legislature Albany, N. Y. UTA)—Daily Jewish religious prayer services —the first to be held in the state cnpitol since the Second World War—are now conducted e a c h morning and evening with some ?,() to -II) Senators, Assemblyman and legislative aides gathering in the office of Assembly Majority Leader J.lcse:; M. Weinslein for a minyan. Mr. Wcinstein arranged tlie services, to'enable him to keep up -with the daily recitation of kaddiMi (hiring tlie mourning period in memory of his father who died in January. Mr. Weinstein usually leads the prayers himself with Sen. Paul Eobkson. an Orthodox Jew from New York's lower East Side, officiating on some days. The kaddish minyan arranged by Mr. Weinstein jr. the first in the state eapitol since Sen. Lazarus Joseph arranged similar services when his son was killed in the Second World War. •

Washington (JTA)—Congressmen William Fitts Ryan and Benjamin RosenthaL bi'th New York Democrats, this, week conrifmned the support of an antiIsrael organization by the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency. The Congressmen cited authoritative reports to the effect that the CIA lias f ill a n c e d the American Kriends of i'ic Midain-EasL a pro-Arab, anti-Israel propaganda front. They called for an investigation by President Johnson. ,•'••.. Propaganda Mr. Ryan and Mr. Rosenthal said "liir CIA undermines the Administration policy of friendship toward Israel by secretly funding the AFME." They cited AFME's attacks on Israel and propaganda issued by E l m o Hutchison, AFME's ioriner Middle East director. They pointed out that AFME helps finance end guides an organization it created, the 0 •panization of Arab S t u d e n t s . The group spreads anti-Israel and '.sometimes pnli-Jewish propaganda at over 100 American colleges and universities by Arab students.

The Arab student activity is supported by the Arab Leigue in Cairo, which send1., out the propaganda lines to be followed. The CIA apparently financed the anti-Israel propaganda i.i vn effort to woo young Arabs away from Communism. •..•- -I... ET5".: E S 0

Arab Tel Aviv (JTA)--Arab violence was renwt'd inside. Israel territory near both the Syrian and Jordanian borders this week leaving one Syrian soldier dead. The incident:-; followed la.'it week's indefinite postponement of any further meetings of the extraordinary se;;Bion of the Israel-Syrian Mixed Armistice Comini.'.sioii. The Syrian soldier was killed in an exchange oi lire with <m Israeli pilot in the Hule area after the patrol .'-.potted (lie utiiiornifd Syrian crossin;; into I;iracl from the Syrian position of Darbaslnye. The antied infiltriitor opened fire on the patrol when he was challenged:.by the Israelis sonie' 500 yards inside Israel territory. Tin: patrol returned the lire and lulled the Syrian with a hand f;renade. The Syrian was armed with a Sovietmade automatic rifle. Unlike p r e v i o u s instances when the Syrian:; suffered casualties, S y r i a n officials agreed to take back the body of the. dead .noldier. Israel lias lodged a complaint over the incident with the Israel-Syrian Mixed Armistice CoiuiuibMon In another incident, in <ir Arad in the Nej'.ev. an explo'.ivc charge placed undi/r a water

The t e r r o r i .'its identified themselves by leavin;; two leallets, one in Hebrew and one in Arabic, marked with the names, "Palestine Liberation M o v eninnt" and ''Al A.sifa" (the military arm of Ahmed Sbukairy's Palestine Liberation Organiza- , tion).

Chie:i|40 (JTA>— The Chicago Daily Defender, fine oi the nation';; two Negro daily ne".vsj>:ifHii\s. asserted in an editorial this V".'<'k that "there* is no organized anti Seinitisni amon;; Negroes" ;IIK1 ur;.;e(J that both Jews ami Negroes avoid becoming "over exercised about superficial interracial frictions." The editorial was bar;ed on a review of an evaluation of Jewish-Negro relations made recently by Jiukl Toller, an observer of the American Jewish seem;, who ealled tensionr; between Jews and Negroes "the most hiteiul donieatic Jewish issue in American history." The editorial agreed with Dr. Teller that .lews thnuld net leave the battle for the Negro's civil rights because of occasional expressions of anti-Jewish feelings but otherwise did not indicate agreement with Dr. Teller';; view of the siKiiiiiciuice of the issue. Negro ISuycr at Fault The editorial, dealing specifically with Nerjro charges against Jewish bu-sincssinr-n operating in Ne;,'ro shim area;;, declared that the fact wns that Juwn ''do their best to satisfy the wants und needs of their Negro customers" but ttuit "the le'.ation.ship breaks down when the NcHro buvtr is uiu-ible to live up to the terms of his ••commitment."

The editorial said that when, in such eases the usual '•harsh le;;al procedures" v.'vre instituted, the Negro reacted uith resentment and "cries of usury, unfair advantage and goufjing." However, the editorial added, the Negro buyer "who does not know his financial limitations and who besides is callous about his obligations, comes in for .sharp criticism from his own people." Negro Slumlords The editorial also commented on a suggestion by D;\ Teller that the Jewish community should force the removal of the Jewish slumlord from the Negro ghetto "by barring him from all office, national and local, in Jewish life." Without expressing an opinion on that suggestion, the editorial said that "Jews, of course, are neither the only nor the primary property owners in Negro neighborhoods. It must not "be forgotten that there are Nej;ro .slumlords just as ruthless and inconsiderate as arc their white counterparts." The editorial asserted that such evaluations failed to grasp that "those people are the victims of an American .system that pushes them into an unconscionable rat race after success and opulence, regardless of the; costs in health and persona) integrity."

He contended that there have been too many crude Jewish jokes, of a self-abusing nature, too much satire, loo many books about "Jewish madams," too many Jewish takeoffs on James Bond, and "too many you don't have to be Jewish gimmicks," "People are human," he said.

can't spend a couple ol hours, that would most assuredly be enjoyable hours, viewing a production that their own Jewish children have worked .so hard on. A typical excuse (riven by those who are politely ;isked to buy tickets is that it is just :i ''kids show.1' This is not true! The show has a semi-professional cast of many people who intend to make the theater their career. But this is irrelevant when you think of the more important aspect of the undertaking, that of the benefits that have been gained by the children working .on this production, and how much greater their rewards would he if they saw that the adults appreciated and more important, supported them. Another common e x c u s e is that the price is too expensive • how many times have all of us spent the same amount of money to see some sexy, violent spy movie? How can a production starring many Jewish children and t e e n a g e r s 'even though they may not be directly related to you) help but be more enjoyable and worthwhile? I hope that those of us who are interested in developing the talents and characters of the Jewish youth are not working iii vain because n a n e of the adults show that they really care. I also hope that the adults of the Omaha Jewish community will review their ideas and desires concerning the future of the y o u t h , and not disappoint those of the "OLIVER" c a s t who have worked so hard to bring you this Jewish sponsored event.

Uy Milton Friedman Emergence of an anti-Jewish "backlash,'' similar to rising resentment against Negro pressures has been privately noted by a number of Congressmen. They cited th" recent manifestation oi anti-Semitisir in a school board election in Wayne Township, N. J. Allegations had been made that election of J e w i s h canditl a t e s w o u l d threaten "what is left of Christ in M. Friedman Christmas celebrations in our schools." Instead of rejecting anti-Semitism, voters overwhelmingly repudiated the Jews. Resentment Against Jews A liberal Congressman commented here: "The same trend is building up in my own district. The fact is that people lire deeply resentful of things like the school prayer amendment and what they consider ns over-aggressiveness by a Jewish' minority. Jewish groups are absolutely . within their rights and correct from a Constitutional and democratic viewpoint. Jews are actually anieng the best publicspirited citizens. Yet the human factor is coming out and some of the resentment b jilinj; up against Negroes is also hitting Jews." Too Many Protests Along similar lines, a leading Senator said he feared ''this is a symptom of backlash." He observed that "for so many years so many Jewish spokesmen have issued so many protests. All the protests were very legitimate

but also very emotbnally disturbing to a mass of the general public. 1'eoHlt have heard about Hie Nazis and Anne Frank . . . Israel and the Arabs . . . until it Is coming mil of their ears. Kducated, intelligent people are bored, saturated really, and beginning to get annoyed." He added that the Negroes have a just cause. They gained s y m p a t h y and understanding leading to legislative action. Hut the Negroes overpushed. People got mad. They got mad although they realize the Negroes still have just complaints. "The Jewish people are living very prosperously, .jubtlc discrimination exists but the public sees Arthur Goldberg at the United Nations and Jews in the most prominent positions. Just as people got tired hearing about N e g r o complaints, they are .starting to get antagonized by J e w i s h initiatives on tender points like Christmas in public schools and the like. I think the public mood is wrong but Viet Nam has made tempers short. Feelings arc flaring up." Another comment came from an important Congressman of Jewish faith. He said: "I saw this coming. Tin* public is over-saturated with the many J e w i s h groups and continuous outcries. Perhaps there is a point where Jewish defense activities are counter-productive. I'e:h;ips we should more carefully pick and choose the crucial issues on which to f i g h t and not run around to every newspaper and television station assuming that everybody wili love us because we arc within our Constitutional r i g h t s and are emancipated Americans.

By Kathy Greenljerg More than 20 years separate the second generation American teenager from the horrors of World War II. This short time span has, nevertheless, isolated the American teenager from these atrocities which to him seein to be ancient pages in history. This is not the case in Europe. The scars of the war are everywhere — in the bombed-out shells which were once impressive buildings;, in the modern structures that rise over ruins; in the graveyards—but mostly, the scars can be seen in the struggling Jewish community in Europe. The People It is difficult to make generalizations about Continental Jewry which represents many individuals and the maze of complicated emotions and reactions they express. The number of the survivors is few; many have ...iinr-c '-ft &~ .euclinent-.FJ.fh ->" chant "Farwell to you dear Europe, the graveyard of our dreams." Of those that remain, many have lost faith. The problems they face are great. Not only must they build a new community oat o! despair nnd disorder, but also they face pressures from the remnants of anti-Semitism and the new, guilt-ridden Philo-Scmitism of the outside community. The future, which is still far from bright, lies with the youth who regardless of their age, bear the stamp of the v/ar that lias been passed fm to thsiTv by parents and teachers. Hatred of Germans The evidence of German bombing mars the English countrysides and towns, and the effects of Hitler's Germany stain the majority of Jewish families. There is a violent hatred of Germans. Most adult?, including the very liberal parents in the jiome in which I stayed, would never have a German in their liome. There ore exceptions. One London Congregation took a pjovp of 20 young non-Jewish Germans into their homes while Ihey spent two weckft studying modern Judaism, a cubject they JUMW nothing about. This was «uch a unique situation that it merited ,rt Imlf hour program on i j l television.

Weekend in Germany Perhaps these vague generalizations can be made more vivid by describing part of my experiences in Europe. I traveled with a group of 50 fun-loving teenagers to whom the prospect of an extended weekend should have been exciting. But then we learned that the four days, we would spend away from tlie secluded conference' hall would be in Germany. Many refused to go, but the p e r ; ; u a s i v e Rabbis convinced them that they should. It was in this atmosphere that we boarded the German train that would carry us to Dusseldorf. The usual singing that accompanies nny group of traveling teens had stopped, and most of the members of group were standing in the small aisles looking out of. the windows at the bleak countryside of industrial Germany with its billowing smoke stacks. The train rumbled into the small station with shrill whistles, shouts of German ..over 'h« ~ud speakers and the parading railroad officials with ice-blue eyes, rugged blond hair and crisp uniforms. As guests of the German government we ate in the finest restaurants, stayed in the best hotels, traveled on efficient trains and were shown the utmost in hospitality. We were also guests of the local Jewish congregation. Their beauti/ul synagogue and youth center were built by the government, but the German Jewry make little use of the buildings which usually stand empty. The synagogue, a l t h o u g h meant to serve both the progressive and orthodox Jews was strictly orthodox. Because we represented a group of progressive Jews, the Rabbi left town and the congregants refused to worship with us. While we were graciously entertained by the generous PhiloScmitie government officials, we also saw anti-Semitism in the hotel in which we stayed and the losal NDI> (Neo-Nazi party) office ucross the street. Although I cannot hat* the new generation of Germans with the intensity of many in our group, I istill <;annofc forgive or forget the Nazi Holocaust, The isolated American youth of today and to.morrow swat not forget.

By CAKI/AJ,PF.KT Haifa— Among the laws of the British mandatory government which were taken over by the new Israel government in 1!M8 was the so-called Law for the Protection of the Tenant. It was a good idea when the British put it into ef f e ct in 1940, and it W.TJ still a good idea a' the time of creation of thei State of Israel. I t, • In effect the \ law recognized | that a housing shortage existed, Carl Alpert and it sought to prevent landlords from exploiting the situation. First of all, it froze rents at the existing level, though it provided lor an annual review of the rental market on the basis of which the freeze could be adjusted. In the second place, it provided that so long as a tenant continued to pay his legal rent, he cn»W not he evicted from his flat for any reason the landlord could think up. The lav/ worked. Despite the squeeze of new immigration, the natural increase in fami'ies, and the inability of cither government or private industry to provide the new housing needed, Israel never had the t e r r i b l e scenes such as were once common in New York, of evicted families sitting oa the sidewalks '- .long their meagre possessions, with no place to go. 'Die years went by, '-nd though times changed the law did not. The annual review did not take place, and.except for some relatively minor modifications in the freeze, rents remained fixed at or near the 1340 level. But whereas rents were unchanged, the value of the Pound itself shrank. The Israel Pound, worth almost $5 in 1940 ha3 in recent years been reduced to 33 cents. A tenant who had been paying ten Pounds a month in 1940 (quite a considerable sum then) was in a very happy situation if 25 years his rent was frozen at

only twenty Pounds'—• considering that salaries and wages and oilier expenses had risen by an average of about ten times! Landlord The Victim Today tfie true victim of (he law is the landlord, In some cases the income from his old house is barely enough to cover taxes on the building. In Haifa one owner computed that the tax exceeded his income, so bo simply abandoned the_property and invited the government to conic in and take it off his hands, thus saving him money. Attempts to repeal the law or amend it drastically have been fought vigorously, despite the injustice and the evils which it has created. No Eviction Possible For one thing, the occupant of ••ihir. fi::t becomes, a statutory tenant who can not be evicted. Any agency seeking to ;mbark on a slum clearance program finds that tenants refuse to cancel their perpetual leases except upon payment of fantastic sums. As a result, necessary urban clearance does not take place, and developers carry out their construction on new lands outside the city, where the costs of bringing in water, power, roads, etc. make the new housing more expensive. Furthermore, such new housing too frequently taker, up valuable agricultural land, which can little be spared. With no income from his old house, the landlord can not bear the costs of maintenance. This will explain why so man.p of the houses in the very heart of Tel Aviv look dilapidated and run. clown. The landlord can not nfford to do necessary repairs and the tenants don't care, since the house does not belong to them.

Uirtlis and Rentals Today no builder finds it worth while to retain ownership of his property and rent it. I would estimate that 95 per cent of all private construction in Israel now is of cooperative or s o called condominium h o u s i n g , where the family buys and owns Its own Hal rather than renting it. To obtain housing, therefore, one must have the capital to buy outright. Large mortgages are unavailable. It is no secret that this is a factor in reducing the Israeli birthrate, Young couples who can not allord a flat don't have babies. There have been other results. The whole system of keymoney developed as a means of circumventing the rent freeze, and new injustices were thereby created. Key-money v/as illegal, but it was so widely practiced, "even-by goveriiffient agencies, that in 1.054 it was legalized. The law with the attractive title "for protection of the tenant" was a good idea vhen it was passed. Since then it has been responsible for the creation of slums, for increasing the costs of new housing, for impoverishment of l a n d l o r d s , including widows and pensioners who had hoped to live on their income, and for formation of a privileged class of veteran tenants who, for the most part, are not the ones who need this protection. Belatedly the Knesseth is about to move to amend the law.

Most children at one time or another long to go to the country —to get away from the noise »nd congestion of city lift;—to go on a hike or picnic—but too often children are denied the opportunity to do so. Children need be denied no longer. The 19«7 J.C.C. Day Camp program will be held on the spacious grounds of the Ponxa. Hills Riding Academy, away from the city, in the midst of the tplendor of Mother Nature. The camp will be staffed by the ratio of one counselor for every 8 to 10 campers. Camp Director, Chuck Arnold, will be assisted by a camp staf.' of six fenior counselors, two lo (our junior counselors and swimming, tporls and campcraft specialists. A typical camp day will find one group of youngsters returnhij: triumphantly from swunnj!, bragging about how much

they have learned from the Red Cross Instructor. Another e r o u P may be returning from a "Nature Hunt" conducted by the c.nmpcraft specialist. A third group may be cookinp their lunch on a tin-can stove. Some groups may be prepaiing for the "Horseshoe Revue" during the creativity hour ,or they may be down at the corral riding horse's. Campcraft, sports and dramatics are always popular. At all times camp songs may1 be heard ringing out from on', group or another. Children ages 6 to II may register for one to three session of two weeks each/Further information is available from the camp office, 342-1366.

YOUTH COUNCIL BASKETItALL The l!)Gti-(>7 Youth Council Hasketbiill League is now history. It was a great year for the Chaini Weizmann fans. The "Chaimics" dominated bolh the senior and junior circuits with undefeated records. With veteran -coach David Goldstein stepping down, next year's Weimiatm coach will find the going a little rougher. Weizmann loses four o! its starting five to graduation. .Starters Maynard Belzer. Brtid Grossman, T'odd Greenstone, Tom Kirshenbatmi, as well as Ron Rubin and Mike Katzman who gave such fine bench strength, will all be leaving the team. Future success for Chaini Weizniann falls heavily on the shoulders of junior Andy Libcririnn and a well-stocked undefeated B team. Talent coming up from the E squad includes Howie Halperin, Alton Ruback, Dave Katz, Bob Kutler and Perry Ratner. How well these players will adjust to the A league caliber of play is the big question mark that will be answered next year. "

Rayim, the lornier king of Youth Council Basketball, took a step down this year. Rayim relinquished the title to Chaim Weizniann niter a long four-year reign. Next year Rayim will have a strong team, with Paul Epstein the only member leaving the ranks. Returning will be juniors Al Par.sow, .Jerry Rnznick, Bob Jacobson and Gary Soircf. sophomores Dave Katz and Steve Nogg. and the promising freshmen, Jerry Wnldbaum and Steve Epstein. With the return of all this talent, things look bright for the Rayim crew. Dave Rifkin will be back next year to again be the main spark plug in the AZA I attack. Mother Chapter, will only lose Mark Rimmerman, who proved to be a big asset for AZA l's rebounding dur•. ing the past season. Returning will be Larry Cackin. a smooth and steady ball player, Bill Gilinsky, and fast-improving Fred Tichaucr. AZA 1 should be in the title-contention continually through next year's season. #•

•

AZA 100 has only one way to go, and that i.s up. They, should go up, for they will* return with the same team next year. The centurymen have the height, and as soon as they put this height to their advantage they will become a title contender. They are a jfoung, green team, and after a year they might come back and steal the title right out of the hands of the other contenders. Steve Rosen and Bob Aronson showed great improvement as the year progressed, and they are young with lots of playing time left. The Gilinsky brothers Bruce and Rick add a positive punch to the attack. Bob Handleman, the only freshman playing in the senior circuit had a great adjustment to make from the Midget League, and did a masterful job. As it can be seen, next year nobody should run away with the league. It is unlikely that any team will go undefeated. Who won this year's championship is history; who will take the '67-'G8 Youth Council Basketball crown is an element of the. future. YOUTH COUNCIL A LEAGUE Chaim Weizniann made it 14 in a row as they rolled over AZA 100 by a score of d'A-'.'/i. The centurymen tried to use the stall to slow the champions, but a tough defense by Chaim Weizmann was too much for the 100 boys to cope with.
