When asked to accept the post of Philanthropies Chairman. I found that none of the obvious excuses for refusing to serve were' valid. For, in truth, we are all fully occupied in the pursuit of our careers and family responsibilities. To me the overriding factor is that the Emergency of June I!)(i7 still exists, and that it is timely that a man of my generation take the initiative in pointing up the gravity of the situation to my contemporaries. Although IIIK message of the need is no less important to Hiose kind people who'have always made (heir financial presence Known, it is critical that our community base ol philanthropy lie broadened through Ilic acceptance'of responsibility on tlic part of (lie men who have matured since World War II. In seeking answers to questions I know will be directed to me I attended, with my wife, the Inaugural of the 1908 United Jewish Appeal in New York on December 7, To Rabbi Herbert Friedman, the working, professional head of UJA fell the assignment o! summation, and the logic for the decision of continuing the emergency appeal: And then his logic for the decision of continuing the emergency appeal: 1. Israel's basic security problem. It apparently will take a "miracle" to (jet the Arabs to talk peace. 2. The need for rearmament: Only armed strength can deter an aggressor, and militarily Israel is weaker now than last June, particularly in aircraft. 3. Simultaneously, the sociological problems that must be solved: The 25,000 new immigrants next year; the continued settlement procedures of earlier immigration; the education of 250,000 illiterates; medical aid for the aged; youth services and housing are problems'of the moment. It is the burden of carrying these social welfare costs that Israel now shifts, temporarily, to the free world Jews, while she addresses herself to her military defenses. Finally, that more fighting is possible, on even a larger scale, and what we do now will show our will to reshape history. The subscription to the cause was magnificent. The pledges we heard announced, both for the regular and emergency phases of the appeal represented, for the most part, increases over 1907. The success in New York presages a successful campaign nationally. I recognize that our Omaha Emergency drive in 19G7 brought forth some funds that reflected sacrifice from the donors. On (he other hand I feel that the combined gifts of tin- majority of the members of our community can be repeated, and even Increased In consequence, once the message of the need is made known.

The Conservative rabbinical leader also declared, in a statement here, that it was not true that there had been "an inadequate response" from Christians during the Middle East crisis, when Israel was "in danger of annihilation." He asserted that "most Christians in the United States and. in deed, all of Europe, both East and West, sided with Israel's cause in May and June." " D e m o n strations and petitions were signed and joined by hundreds and t h o u s a n d s of Christians in America, France, Holland, etc.," Rabbi Kelman asserted.

Hershey's recent recommendation to local draft board.? that they reclassify and induct draft registrants who engage in what the general called "illegal activity" to oppose the draft. In a statement, the organizations strongly defended "the right to express dissent from the decisions of government." Asserting that they "neither condone nor defend illegal actions," they said that "service in the armed forces of our country must never be viewed ns a substitute for penal service, nor should any administrative official be permitted to impose punishment without judical process." Joining in the statement were the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee, National Council of Jewish Women, Union of American Hebrew Congregations, United Synagogue of America, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.

afters New York (JTA)—Sources in Manhattan's garment district confirmed this week that a number of ready-to-wear manufacturers planned to organize a committee to determine whether a boycott should be established against French fabrics in protest against P r e s i d e n t de Gaulle's recent anti-Israel, antiJewish and anti-American attacks. Eight heads of such firms held a secret meeting which was also attended by representatives of other garment district firms. According to the sources, there was a sharp division of opinion
r
over whether such n boycott should be launched by the garment industry and, if such a decision was approved, how the boycott should be organized. Many of the Jewish businessmen expressed concern over tho known State Department opposition to such boycotts as well as over the possibility that such an action might cut both ways. Among the industry's top designers and manufacturers attending the secret meeting were Jerry Silverman, Adolph Klein, president of the New York Couture Business Council, Shannon Rodgers, Chester Weinberg, Nat Rubin, Pauline Trigere and others. Import Boycott New York importers in the accessories business were reported to be thinking about stopping imports of such items us handbags but avoided talk about a boycott. While many retailers said that women customers were avoiding such imports with 'Made'in France" labels, some of the major New York specialty stores indicated a cautious attitude toward the boycott idea. William Hanson, president of Julius Garfinckel, said that his stores, which include Brooks Brothers, would not join in any boycott although "we are hearing more and more customers • aying they won't buy anything French."

(JTA)--Delegates to the seventh convention of the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations adopted a resolution calling rni Israel and the Arab states to begin direct negotiations "with a view to ending the hostilities, fixing definite nnd secure boundaries, and obtaining an equitable peace." The resolution appealed to the United States Government "and oil other democracies to provide Israel with the opportunity to acquire the arms needed for its security which is being threatened by the vast Soviet re-arniing of the most bellicose Arab nations." The resolution further urged that the United States give no economic or military assistance to any combatant government in the Middle East "which refuse; to enter into negotiations for a permanent peace settlement without which there can be no economic progress or well-being for any nation in this pivotal region." The resolution referred to the "ominous gravity" of the crisis in the Middle Kast and warned that continued Arab-Israeli hostilities threatened the peace of the entire world. It condemned the "subversive and aggressive role of Soviet imperialism which has been exploiting the misery and intensifying the antagonisms among the people of the Middle East and arming the aggressors, Egypt and the Syrian regime, in furtherance of its own ultimate aim of world domination." The convention, representing 14 million American trades union members, also voiced condemnation of the Soviet rulers "for the latest expansion of their anti-Semitic policies within the USSR with the aim of counteracting the great sympathy for Israel among the Soviet people and strengthening their base of influence in reactionary Arab circles which oppose most virulently peaceful coexistence with Israel."

Friday, Derrmhrr 15, JOG?
REPLY TO RICHARD "The Case Against Israel" by Kiclnnd Friedman was certainly most provocative. Mr. Friedman claimed that Israel is not the morally superior country that should have been the result of the age-old Jewish dream. lie said, in disappointment, that Israel was jiist another country. Jt may lie that Israel is not morally .superior, but just as Poland is not "just a n o t h e r country" to the Poles, and Italy to the Italians, so Israel is not "just another country" to Hie homeless and persecuted of (air people. For them at least, it is a place to be free, to live tod;iy and hope for tomorrow; and that may be mortality enough. Mr. Friedman's idea seems to be that Israel's willingness to use military force deprives her of a moral position. He said that "Israel is an expansionist, militaristic state." If he is correct, the moral answer is simple—condemnation. Anyone who •watched television this spring nnd saw the howling mobs in Cairo shouting for blood, compared to the quiet, relutcant determination of the Israeli attitude, would find it difficult to apply the militaristic epithet to Israel As for e x p a nsionism,

•i I really wasn't fishing for compliments in my comments about reactions to the Jewish Press. However, I am most grateful to those of you who took the time to write so many kind words. I'm particularly grateful to the writer who rejerred to me with the phrase "the wisdom of one so young." To be considered wise would be more than enough for my ego— but the use of the phrase "one so young" in reference to me— well—my cup runneth over indeed. •

I believe a Jewish newspaper has a unique responsibility. It rnust not only educate by providing tho news, it must stimulate thinking and the exchange ef ideas. It must be the instrument to motivate attempts at solutions to the many and varied problems of modern Jewish life—and that's what I mean by reaction. Reaction To Citron For instance—the column on "Fiddler on the Roof" written by Peter Citron which appeared in last week's paper caused considerable interest. I had a number of phone calls from people who enjoyed the column and. expressed their surprise that the writer was Jewish. Many were regular readers of Mr. Citron's column in the Sun Newspapers, but until the article appeared in the Jewish Press, were unaware that he was Jewish. The article in the Press served two purposes for these people. They '"enjoyed" the ..article, and they "learned" that Peter Citron is a Jew. But the real, positive renction came from the lady who went one step further. Having •'enjoyed" and "learned," she Was "motivated to action," and Bince this nice Jewish boy Is a bachelor, she wanted to suggest that she happened to have an unmarried niece—that's what I call reaction.
Did YouKnow? CARL KOLLER, a nineteenth, century Hungarian-born Jewish physician, was a pioneer in the • Jield of ophthalmology. Before his emigration to the United States in the latter part of the nineteenth century, Koller introduced the use of cocaine as e local anasthetic. (JTA)
Enjoying and learning have value, and when the two lead to taking action, then this paper h«is .truly served its purpose. Teens anil Parties Our young people fbless them) have been the most 'courageous in using this paper for an expression of their views. Through the Teen Talk column all of us have had an opportunity to learn more about the thoughts of our young people. Frequently there is little "action" we can take as a result of this "learning," but it does equip us with a little better understanding. In the past two weeks however, the Teen Talk column has provided us with the learning that seems to call for clear cut action. The discussion of parties after teen dances has gone on for years. Last week, Teen Talk interviewed parents of teens who once again offered violent opposition to the custom. There obviously are no parents who want the parties, since there has been no "reaction" in terms of letters to this paper offering an opposing-point of view. In the Teen Talk column this week, the surprising truth comes out. Most of the young people questioned were not particularly enthusiastic about the parties either. If this is the case (and only letters to the editor will alert us that it is not) then the course of action fs clear. The parents are opposed to the parties; the kids don't particularly nnjoy them—so why have them? It seems to me that in view of tlie information provided in the Teen Talk column, the unwanted parties will end. We "know" now let's "do." To be sure, teen parties are not the most critical problem facing Jewry today. If only the critical problems could be solved as easily, I used the parties as examples simply to illustrate the kind of influence the Jewish Press can be. It can educate., stimulate and motivate. Reaction, however, depends on the reader. ' If this knowledge doesn't produce this kind of action, then my doubts and questions about "reactions*' are renewed. That's when I'm tempted to go back to bed on Thursday morningstaking with me the letter about being "young and wise,"

In general, .they felt that these house parties are unnecessary and simply nn excuse to stay out later. They also reported that there was damage to the homes where the house parties were held.

Jeff Ilochster, junior: "If there is proper supervision, there shouldn't really be any damage or destruction of any kind at these house parties. House parties are held in other cities where the chapter advisors ','or other interested adults chaperone them. These parties usually run very smoothly. Perhaps this type of supervision can be looked into and put into effect in Omaha."
ANOTIIKR VIEW OF ISRAEL Though I am not a historian, I would like to comment on Richard Friedman's evaluation of Israel's shortcomings.
