The first announcement of an organization contribution wai made by Mr. Jack Green, president of Beth El Synagogue, In announcing the Beth El Synagogue pledge of $8,500 to the Israel Emergency Fund, Mr. Green noted that the action wa3 taken by the board of trustee* of Beth El Synagogue, "not as a substitute for contributions by Beth El members, but in addition to the personal donations all Beth El members are being urged to make." Mr. Green noted further than none of the money contributed by Beth El to the emergency campaign came out of operating funds or other specific funds. "The money contributed by Beth El has been taken from funds contributed to the synagogue over the years where the donor indicated that the money be used wherever the need was greatest," Mr. Green explained, "It was the feeling of the board that no need was greater than those of Israel during the trying days ahead." "Further announcements at organization contributions will be made next week," said Mr. Ferer,

Brutal Treatment Charged by Jewish Refugees From Egypt the police arrived and was-not permitted to dress. In prison, the refugees were beaten and left for long periods of time without food or water. They were released only bec a u s e they possessed Italian passports — a fact that was transmitted to the Italian consulate by a passerby who spoke to one of the refugees through a prison hatch. There were seven children in the group, some of whom had lost their families before the ship left Egypt. Efforts are now underway to locate their parents. It is estimated that there are still some 300 Jews in Cairo and Alexandria, including the grand rabbis of both cities who are reported under house arrest.

TEL AVIV (JTA)—The conquest of all the Jordanian held territory west of the Jordan and of the Gaza Strip lias posed serious new economic problems for Israel. Neither the former Jordanian areas nor the barren Gaza Strip .are economically viable entities. There are aboiit 400,000 inhabitants in the narrow Gaza Strip. There is no industry there and the only commercial crop is a low-grade citrus which cannot,be exported to Europe and previously found its only market in Egypt. The West Hank area has an Arab population of about a million. It is an agricultural area

with no surpluses for export and little industry. A continued interruption with the East Bank •—Jordan proper—might cause further unemployment. The only possible sources of income are the new tourist regions such as Bethlehem and the Old City of Jerusalem where the Jewish holy places are now open to Jewish tourists. As a result of its conquests, Israel now has the responsibility of feeding some 1,500,000 Arabs, There are estimates here that Israel would have to allocate between $15-2O,00(),000 a year for the new territories.

By MK'KKY (WOUIXICK I'art II My diary notes the complete change in atmosphere and attitudes that had taken place in less than 4ii hours. When we arrived on Monday evening. May .22, there was a general attitude ot "It will all blow over." Now it was noon on Wednesday. May 24. a warm, sunny alternoon in Tfl Aviv and tension filled the air, The realization thai it might not "blow over" .seemed to hit everyone. In the days to come we were to see the varied reactions to these realizations from the civilian, the military man and the tourist. The tourist in Tel Aviv that Wednesday reacted quickly—he was frightened and wanted to get out. Crowds Idled the airline olfices attempting to got reservations changed. The tourist exodus from the major hotels was evident not only by the suitcases which suddenly appeared in f r o n t of each as tourists waited for cabs which would take them to the airport, but also in the deserted dining

rooms and lobbies which had been emptied not only by the tourists, but by the personnel as well. Itush at F.I Al We visited the main office ol El Al airlines where we saw the only display of panic we were to see during our entire visit in Israel. Kl Al was operating at maximum capacity -- (i planes leaving each day with a total of !m(i passengers, and they were booked .solid through the following Wednesday. We watched one very weary passenger agent try to explain to each demanding passenger approaching her desk that there simply was no room available for a week. Itemarkably she remained calm and patient to all the angry retorts demanding space immediately. When I approached her desk I explained quickly that 1 had not come to change reservations, but was interested in her observations about the situation. I was somewhat ashamed by the reactions I had witnessed of those tourists who were obviously Americans and I told her so.

We are doing the best we can to get them out of the country quickly." I learned a little of the hackground of this attractive woman during our brief visit, but very quickly I was forced to relinquish nw place at her desk to the anxious tourists waiting behind me. As we were leaving I heard the woman next in line say to the agent, "You must not understand the seriousness of war or you would do something to get us out of here." I wondered what that woman's reaction would he if she knew that the agent to whom she was speaking had served as a captain in the war of liberation and that her 1!) year oid son was currently serving in the Israel Army.

Then perhaps, we'll go to visit Brooklyn, but not before." This was the lirst of many expressions we were to hear from American youth in Israel "lUsi you don't eliiek''n out .wh"n the country needs yon."

I'm sure he didn't see the smile flicker on my lips because he was so intent upon getting his point across. This man and I are as far apart in background as any two people could possibly be. We have two things in common: We are both citizens of the United States and we are two individual human beings. He is a Jew, I am a Gentile . woman. My maiden nrune is Madison which dates back to the fourth p r c s id e n t of the United .States. My ancestors are English, I know not from which country in the world his ancestors came, nor do I care. I am proud of this man and of his people. Without them the United Slates would be a lesser nation. The might of the Israeli nalion has been shown in (In- past weeks. This might has b e e n shown without help from any other n a t i o n and the world knows this fact. I believe all nations stand back in awe and silently take pride In your people. Yes, I admit I am stubborn, when I believe in something I will fight for my belief. I reserve the right to say to the Jews in Omaha and in Israel that they arc determined (I use the word "determined" because he IS the boss and he might not take the word '•stubborn' too well.) You too know that right is right and you have staked your lives and the very being of your country to prove it.

As Jordanian guns rained fire indiscriminately, day and night, on civilian Jerusalem, including our daughter and granddaughter, and as Jordanian artillery shelled Tel Aviv, we could not help reflecting bitterly that Jordan had received $55,600,000 worth of U.S. military aid, and was using American tanks, American guns and American planes.

nating the convention trip to Israel, using as part of the sell (hat I wanted our group to step out in our own recognizance. I could not dream how history would conspire to make even my wildest ambitions come true, truer than any of us had a right to expect or hope. I could not even in visionary terms conceive that we would be hailed with such a welcome by a beleaguered country. It was a heady experience-— for all. And to feel the pulse of flic Jewish State during these crucial times, when the population shed any effort to create an image, but was itself undorncd save in the .splendor and majesty of valor and determination nnd Jewish integrity. What a privilege was ours! We were not at the edge of truth, but deeply enmeshed well beyond in its poignancy and straight-forwardness. I "quelled" often during the convention over the fearlessness demonstrated by our delegation, by the maturity demonstrated again and again by individual members as newsmen searching observing, surveying and concluding during the many opportunities to get at the truth. Not a one of us who did not come home ten feet taller than when we left. Not a one of us who did not again fall in love with the Israelis, with the country. And how could we tell them enough?

Vivacy Washington (JTAi — Rabbi Norman Lamm of New York told a Senate subcommittee hearing on privacy that Jewish religious law considers nonphysical intrusion "the equivalent of physical trespass" and that "the spirit of Jewish' Law rejects the idea of a national data bank." Rabbi Lamm, a member of the Jewish Law Commission of the Rabbinical Council of America, testified before the Senate subcommittee h?aded by Sen. E d w a r d Long of Missouri which is conducting hearings on threats to the privacy of Americans. He also told the Senators that Jewish Law does not consider the right to privacy as absolute, holding that some rights would be automatically suspended in situations of grave threats to national security, However, he added, privacy in Jewish Law '"is more than a legal right; there is also a moral duty for man 1 to protect his own privacy.'

The Best Educated Canadians Are Jews Montreal (JTA) — Jev/s have the highest percentage of all Canadians with a college degree, 8.9 percent, according to an analysis published by tho Canadian Jewish Congress. Canadian Jews also have the highest percentage with a university education below graduation and the smallest percentage, 36.3, with only an elementary education. The analysis was made on the basis of s p e c i a l tabulations made by the federal census bureau in Ottawa for the Canadian Jewish Congress, with crossclassifications of census data specially applicable to Canadian Jews. The CJC also disclosed compilation of a list.of,doctoral and master's theses by Jewish firadu a t e s accepted by Canadian Universities during 19G4-G5. The list included theses on Jewish subjects by non-Jews. The listing indicated that "very few" of the 20 theses by Jewish graduates deal v/ith any subjects of specific Jewish interest.

Los Angeles (JTA(—The convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis sharply criticized this week the United Nations as bavin;; been "manipulated by many as a convenient sounding board for the big lie, for vicious propaganda and for a callous distortion of (acts." The unanimously adopted resolution said that "as with the League of Nations some Ii() years ago, the international body's credibility and honor is on the line." This-was a direct reference to Soviet and Arab criticism of Israel at the ink-niationut body's recent and continuing deliberations The adoption of the resolution represented a sharp departure from the Relorm rabbinic body's position of supporting the United Nations. Thsi resolution asserted that "Israel faces many dangers. The economy needs to be reconstructed. The truth needs to bespoken. Decency needs to be mobilized." It then added: "The world needs to understand that Israel cannot properly be asked to sacrifice any present advantage unless and until ail issues are placed on the conference table and the Arab world is prepared in its turn to make appropriate adjustments." The rabbis also called for intensified financial support of the United Jewish Appeal's Israel Emergency Fund and the campaign of the Israel Iiond Organization.

Forty-nine per cent said Jewu were easier on Negroes who fell behind in payments and 18 per cent said Jews were harder. The remaining respondents saw no difference or said they did not know which was better.

Dr. Gary T. Marx, assistant professor of sociology at the University of California at Berkeley, who directed the study, said that subsequent studies indicated littta or no shift in the attitudes reported on the basis of the 19G1 interviews.

Nixon said on his arrival here this week on a fact-finding mission that Israel had a right to keep the places t a k e n in the war which had served as "springboards of aggression" against it until a settlement insuring Israel's security was reached. The Republican leader met with former Premier D a v i d Ben-Gurion at his home in Tel Aviv, At Athens airport, before he left for Israel, Mr. Nixon told reporters that there should be direct talks between the Arab states and Israel.
