The Prime Minister said that Sunday's resolution demonstrated that the Security Council tends to acce.pt a situation in which one side is free to continue warfare while the other is told to put up with violations of the U.N. Charter and decisions. He s a i d the Security Council had shown a similar bias in previous instances.

Kansas City, Mo, (JTA)—Following a decision by#the Kansas City Club, the largest of the downtown business clubs, to accept Jewish members last fall, there are now at least five Jewish members in the club and "applications are apparently bejng processed in a routine manner," according to the Community Relations Bureau of the Jewish Federation and Council. Disclosure that several of the city's major business clubs barred Jews was made by the National Catholic Reporter. One response was that of the Kansas City Club, to end its anti-Jewish policy. Howard F. Sachs, chair* man of the Community Relations Bureau, in a statement to
the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, said that he hoped that. "the. major breakthrough" at the Kansas City Club had "set a new and more wholesome pattern" . for the city and that it was also hoped "that more democratic practices will now be widely adopted in the immediate future." He also reported that members of organizations interested in the problem "have . volunteered to speak on social discrimination at Jewish and nonJewish meetings to increase awareness and understanding of this problem." He disclosed that many perspns had adopted a practice of protesting the scheduling of meetings at clubs which discriminate.
