BBC 'Regrets' Offensive Remark LONDON UTA)-The .British B r o s dcnstinK Corporation expressed regret about a BBC television program in which a performer playing a police officer told a suspect in a ease that ''you put things in your wife's name just like a Jewboy lieaded for bankruptcy." Sir Barnetl Janncr, former chairman of the Board of British Jews, expressed d i s i; u s t over the program, called "Softly Softly." He said Jewish organizations would certainly take the matter up. Hundreds "of Jewish listeners in London and outside sent protests by telephone and letters to the BBC. The BBC explained that the objectionable phrase was used '•as a m c a n s of provocation within the context of the story. A tough detective used the word to provoke a crook with whom he was having a ' drink." The BBC added that it nevertheless "appreciates that the use of the remark gave offense" and said it "regrets" that it was used.

Jewish Center Head Defends Sabbath TORONTO UTAl—The president of the YM & YWHA answered a protest by 15 local rabbis a g a i n s t the Y remaining open on the Sabbath, by declaring this week that the institution's new policy of keeping open from 2 to i> p.m. on Saturdays "will not conflict in any way with Sabbath cervices." President Alex Fisher termed the new Saturday program "unique." lie said there will be more emphasis on "spiritual values, sports will be non-competitive and the snack ba. will be closed." The rabbis, including one Heform and six Conservative, charged that the Y "in its cultural and social programs has progressively reduced the Jewish element, nwing further and further away from identification with Judaism."

The Reform rabbis indicated that only "massive investment and involvement" to relieve large-scale unemployment and provide adequate school facilities and housing, rather than a "gradualist" approach would meet the needs of the Negro, adding that "it may be necessary to cut our defense budget"' for that purpose. The statement also suggested "persuasive dialogue" in the community to achieve the desired goals for the Negro" instead of "national mobilizations and picketing of city halls." Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergymen were urged to combine forces to impress employers, unions and job agencies to find jobs for Negroes. The Reform rabbis also urged' school boards, PTAs and taxpayer groups to understand the need to provide "the budget for integrated education that is also quality education."

lly Michael Sell* As youth today we live in a Christian society. In government, e d u c a t i o n , business, sports, etc. we find Christians dominating. However, many minorities exist in the Christian world. The Jewish people are such a minority. We have existed for thousands of years and have survived many threats—from the Babylonians, K o m a n s. Spaniards. Germans and even today in the USSR. Somehow this minority has been held together. 1V«- Have Survived .Ir-WK have always been faced with a question of survival. In the past it has been a question of survival against external Iwros of those who sought to suppress them. Today we are again confronted with the problem of survival; this time caused by the internal force of Apathy.' 'The question cf Jewish survival today is different than it hns ever been. In America no one seeks to surpress us, yet intermarriage grows and Jewish tradition weakens. As Jewish youth today, we must decide the course of the Jewish people. We must look at Judaism through out own eyes. We must re-evaluate and decide what the Jewish way of life means to us. Many of us seem to shy away from this task; perhaps because we really don"t know why Judiasm should survive. Throughout history there hns b«=<>n assimiliation of Jews, but Hill Judaism survived. It is for us now to decide whether or not we will be Jews in name only. How can we make Judaism more meaningful in our lives? <* * * Sieve Neesman, junior "One could do many different things to make Judaism more meaningful for himself* With

The mysterious disappearance of • the Israeli' submarine 'Dakar" only a few hundred miles from her home port of Haifa, on her maiden voyage from Britain, was one of the greatest emotional shocks suffered by the public here in a long time. It was comparable, perhaps, to the shock felt last May when Nasser suddenly closed the Strait of Tiran, and massed thousands of tanks and artillery pieces along Israel's borders, Wayne Diamond, Freshman '"Vou can identify yourself as while the Eshkol Government a Jew through participation and seemed paralyzed by indecision. education.

to share the "good news," and some embraced and danced. The rumor was soon proven false and the letdown plunged people into heavier gloom than before. Psychologists and communications experts are still studying the phenomenon. Obviously, several f a c t o r s were involved: The anxiety felt for the lives of the C'J officers and seamen aboard the Dakar; the inherent mystery of an incoherent radio message followed by silence. Three days later a brief signal was picked up which may or may not have come .from the Dakar's radio indicator buoy. There was another signal the following day but then silence. There was much speculation on the possibility of foul play, in view of the ominous presence of the Soviet Mediterranean Fleet. But there was no evidence to support it. The Russian fleet refused to respond to'an anpeal to help and did not participate in .the search undertaken by ships and planes of the U.S., Britain, Greece and Turkey. Serious Loss For Israel's small Navy, the loss of the Dakar was a serious blow. Although built more than twenty years ago, she was rebuilt and enlarged in the fifties and extensively modernized in the past two years and equipped
with the most up-todato mechanical and electronic gear, Sho was considered the equal of tho most modern non-nuclear submarines in. the world. The Dakar had two sister ships also purchased by Israel. And tho three were vastly superior to Israel's older, slower and smaller undersea craft. The major blow was the loss of valuable human lives and trained personnel. Submariners, volunteers all, are the cream of the Israel Navy and each member of the Dakar's crew spent about two years in Britain training to take over the sub. Coming a few rnonths after tho sinking of the destroyer Elath by missiles supplied to Egypt by Russia, the new disaster poses severe strains on Israel's naval manpower. The blow came while the Navy* was. in the midst of a reorganization to meet the challenge of the Egyptian Navy build-up by the Soviets. Observers here hope that tho tragedy of the Dakar will speed up reappraisal of Israel's naval role in the new power situation in the Eastern Mediterranean. It will hasten, We hope, the establishment of an ultra-modern, high speed, hardhitting if small eea-goirfg force capable of defending Israel's coastline and dealing punishing blows to nny • enemy. ,. , ,

"All I want, to know is who is this Klutzniek that you're splashing all over the paper. I'm new in town; all 1 want is a little information." "What is it you'd like to know," I asked politely?

By Harold Adlcr ncgiuiiai AIWJ Director More than 200 citizens showing their interest in the housing problems of Omaha met February 4lh, at the Calvin Memorial Presbyterian C h u r c h. The audience was integrated from every aspect in terms of color and religion. It was obvious to me, however, that the Jewish community was not well represented in terms of numbers of people in attendance. Undoubtedly, those responsible for planning the conference failed to seek • out and invite Jewish participation and sponsorship. On the other hand, we as a community have not made ourselves visible to those forces in the city who are concerned with such problems. Perhaps, it is we who should make it known that we are interested in these problems and wish to 'join hands with others in the community who wish to iry and solve some of our mutual problems. • I do not think that one needs io belabor the point or try to affix responsibility for our lack of involvement. The fact is plain and simple; we must become active and we mast become in•volved, There are many programs that are available where men, women, teen-agers, Temples, businesses can become involved. Jt is not easy to do and it will require patience and understanding. The only excuse we can give for not being involved is our own lack of motivation. Projects are available which need volunteers and I will be pleased to try nnd help anyone •who is • interested become- involved In a meaningful program.
were there. But the TV cameras focused on the fabous Dr. King, the bearded rabbi, Prof. Abraham Heschel, who looks like an Old Testament patriarch, and on Rabbi Maurice Kisendrath, who carried an interesting-looking Torah. Jewish Attitudes The rabbis did hot seek to convey an impression that Jews were taking the leading role in protesting against the war. Indeed, Rabbi Eisemlrath, President of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, told the press that Jews were becoming inhibited and growing silent to Vietnam. The rabbi said that fewer Jews were protesting find that lie noted a "hush-hush" tendency. He attributed this to fears that the administration might withhold military aid from Israel in retaliation against Jewish protests on Vietnam. Rabbi Eisendrath's evaluation, however, waH iiul biiaruii by some of the other Jewish leaders in the peace movement. They conceded that only a ' handful of Jews, were among the thousands of clergy and laymen who demonstrated here. But they said there was no discernible lessening of Jewish participation . in other recent demonstrations. In their opinion, Jewish intellectuals are still speaking out in numbers far In excess of the per capita percontage of Jews in academic and professional life, Jewish organizations h a v e taken stands on both sides of the Vietnam debate. During the Middle East crisis, it appeared that Jewish groups were preoccupied with the survival of Israel. They said little, pro or con, about Vietnam. Nevertheless, an impression exists in official Washington that Jews are "doves" and that Jews somehow led the recent prayer services at Arlington. The public does not know that Rabbi Eisendrath is personally committed to peace in Vietnam to a degree not shared by most American rabbis. Nor is it widely known among non-Jews that Rabbi Hcschcl, of the Jewish Theologiesl Seminary, is an individualist of great renown in Jewish circles. Rabbi Heschel's prayer came at the end of the silent devotion at 'Arlington. It was published nationally. The rabbi recited in Hebrew, "Eli, Eli, Lama .Azavtani," the beginning of the 22nd Psalm (My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?) The Tornh Why the Torah? Tho Arlington : service wos planned on tin in-
ter-faith basis. A cross was to be carried. It was thought desirable to also display a Jewish symbol. At the last moment, a young Catholic priest rushed into the religious action center of Reform Judaism here. The Center director, Rabbi Richard Hirsch, greeted him. The priest shouted to the rabbi: "Please give me the 'Torah . . . a cab is waiting . . . big hurry." Rabbi Hirsch could not resist the temptation to ask the excited priest if he wanted the Torah "while standing on one foot." The ecumenical' mission was completed when the priest delivered the Torah. to Rabbi Eisendrath in time for the demonstration. It was the same Scroll that the UAHC presented to President Kennedy in 1901. The Torah was loaned by the John F. Kennedy Library to the Religious Action Center. A number of rabbinical students from the Hebrew Union College and the Jewish Theological Seminary came to Washington to demonstrate. They were lost in the crowd of young Christian seminarians. Some thought, too many Jews were in evidence. Others felt there were too few. A Negro issue was also raised. It was noted that despite Dr. King's leading role, there were virtually no Negroes participating. An explanation was given that Negro militants no longer like to join in Interfaith and interracial activity. This is apparently a response to Black Power pressures. One fact emerged, The Vietnam controversy continues and so does the traditional difference of opinion among Jews. LA*U*«

tion," he continued, "what's the scoop on Paul Veret? What's such a big deal about him being the Executive Director ol the Omaha Jewish Federation, lor :1O years? No one will even tell mi' what the Jewish Federation is, no less what Paul Veret does lor it." Well! How would you handle a call like that? I explained to the male voice on the other end of the line that while I didn't know Phil Klutznick personally, 1 knew a great deal about him, and would print, at least part of his long and impressive list of accomplishments iu this column this week. I started to tell him about Paul Veret, who I have known during all of his SOjears in Omaha, but by now my caller was impatient. "Put it all in the column," he advised. "Don't just assume people know all about things just cause you do." Without a good-bye, the conversation ended. ,So here, dear friend is the information. you seek. 30 Years in Omaha The Omaha Jewish Federation is the organization that provides the Jewish services in our community. Thirty years ago when Paul Veret took over the job, the services were rather limited. During his 30 years in Omaha, Paul Veret has ben responsible for the successful completion of 30 out of the 39 Philanthropies campaigns conducted in this community. As a result of his intense efforts, the community now boasts of one of the finest and most complete Jewish libraries in the country, including films, records, film strips and an outstanding collection of • art. All of the facilities at the Esther K. Newman camp were realized under the direction of P a u l V e r e t . At the other end of the line, the Dr. Philip Slier Home for the Aged and the ChapmanCherniak pavilion were also added during the administration of Paul Veret. The Jewish Federation provides a complete Family Service Department; A youth program serving preschoolers through college; a complete athletic program; a senior citizen program; a Jewish education bureau; The Jewish Press; a community center with a variety of programsall under the supervision of the Executive Director. As Executive Director, Paul Veret works not only with the professional heads of these various departments, but with the lay leaders as well, lie has kept all these departments and people working so smoothly for 30 years, that we all lake it for granted, and assumed that everybody knew. But I guess they didn't. That's why I got a phone call. Now everybody does know. Who Is Phil Klulznlck? Born in Kansas City, Missouri on July-9, 1907, Philip M.

Spare Time As for what Mr. Klutznick does in his spare time, his Biography doesn't tell, and I would guess from the above that he doesn't have much. He's married; the father of 4 sons, 1 daughter; < grandfather of 7.. And that dear friend is why he got splashed all over the paper. Anymore questions?
