Jr. We feel a profound sense of grief that a man who set such an outstanding example of nonviolence, should himself become a victim of violence. We ore all poorer for his loss, mid must urgently rededicate ourselves with renewed energies to the struggle that engrossed Dr. King and took his life. His vision of social justice must he embodied now in specific programs of jobs lor all; quality education; free access to housing; mid social service programs that respect the dignity of the individual.

Washington (JTA)—Jewish organizations discussed here intensification of implementation of Negro rights goals as Washington representatives of groups pressed C o n g r e s s to act on stalled legislation in the wake of the riot that erupted here last week. Many synagogues are acting as collecting points for food contributed by members to relieve hunger in the devastated areas. This is in keeping with the policy of the Jewish Community Council of G r e a t e r Washington to help bind the wounds of the disaster. Joseph Danzansky, a leader of the newly-formed Urban Coalition of the business community, religious groups, and other public elements, is organizing emergency measures to provide food for the poor and home less. He
is the head of the "Giant" supermarket chain. Jews Hard.Hit The prevailing opinion in tha Washington Jewish community is that anti-Semitism was not a factor of any importance in tha looting of Jewish-owned stores. Scores of Jewishrowned clothing, appliance, grocery, delicatessen, liquor and jewelry stores were ravaged and b u r n e d . A special target was the so-called "easy credit" merchant of tha 7th Street, N.W. area. The areas hardest hit by the rioting, center of the Negro "ghetto," were Jewish neighborhoods to a considerable extent until the late 194O's. Synagogues had been abandoned and transformed into N e g r o churches when Jews emigrated to tha suburbs. But many J e w i s h merchants retained businesses at the old locations.
U.S. Visas Urged For Polish Jews Rep. Bertram L. Podell, New York Democrat, introduced a bill in the House this week to admit 1,000 persons from Poland who may seek refuge in the United States to escape "religious persecution." Denouncing the P o l i s h regime for its current anti-Semitic campaign, Rep. Podell said that "most of those who leave Poland will no doubt choose to emigrate to Israel." But he felt a special number of visas above existing quotas should be afforded to those who might prefer to come to the United States. Ho said this would demonstrate that America is keeping its doors open to refugees from oppression. .'-•..

That stand was revealed by Rabbi. Bertram W. Korn, a Naval Reserve chaplain and association president, in a1 letter to "present or future" colleagues.

ixations. there are those who feel that a rabbi who is opposed to our present military involvement in Vietnam should refuse to nerve as a military chaplain in the ground of 'selective conscientious objection.' " lie added that the Jewish military chaplains, attending a recent meeting of the executive committee and representing all three branches of Judaism, had op,reed that because many soldiers might be fighting in Vietnam for a cause which they either did not understand or opposed, the military chaplain was particularly needed. Asserting that the chaplains at the meeting constituted a group which, "militarily, knows whereof it speaks," he reported also that they had agreed that "any clergyman who uses "se-1 lective conscientious objection as a reason for avoiding service as a military chaplain does not understand the essential nature of the military chaplaincy, which is that the military chaplain's task is to give spiritual solace and religious guidance to troubled human beings, not to act as a special pleader for any particular ideology or course of political action." Urges Voluntary Chaplaincy Rabbi Eli Bohnen, president of the Rabbinical Assembly, proposed that chaplains of all faiths cease to be part of the military establishment so that they can counsel servicemen according to conscience, not military rules. Delivering his president's report to 500 delegates at the Rabbinical Assembly's fifith annual convention at Kimesha Lake, Rabbi Bohnen also proposed that "selective conscientious objection" should be recognized as valid for exemption from the draft. " He told his rabbinical colleagues that as part of the military, the chaplain was "unable to question the premises on which war is fought," adding "what is he to say to a pilot or a bombardier who tells him he has been ordered to drop bombs in an area where he imowh, that women and children" will be killed.

Whites'Hold Racist Berkeley, Calif. (JTA) — A claim that over 40 percent of white Americans approve of the racist views of third party presidential candidate Geor;;e Wallace was made here this week by Prof. Seymour N.

The forum was based on the findings of a five-year research program conducted by the University's survey research center under a half million dollar grant from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.

Washington !JTA»—Stato Department officials said this week that United States arms will be shipped to Jordan as agreed because the United States Government evaluation is that King Hussein remains in control and is not the captive of the El Fatah terrorist movement as reported in some dispatches from Amman. Authorities indicated that El Fatah terrorists have become heroes in the eyes of many Jordanians nnd they conceded that it was more difficult for Hussein now to control their actions. .Shipment of U.S. arms i.s still seen here as a move to strengthen the Hussein regime, promote stability, and prevent a deterioration of the situation on the east bank of the Jordan River, U.S. officials depicted recent clashes along the ceasefire in the nature of developments that strengthened El Fatah and made control by Huseein more difficult. The Department of Agriculture announced that Jordan would be supplied with 1.1 million bushels of wheat or equivalent flour under the Food for Peace program.
ican rural areas nnd small towns are today a cultural-religious minority ''that is out of step with the majority and represent a frustrated group in the changing racial picture." Two University of California sociologists reported at the sym[Kisium that a majority of the church and synagogues attending laity reject the virtually unanimous .stand taken by.official church bodies against religious and racial prejudice. Dr. Charles Y. Olock and Rodney Stark, both participants in the ADI. funded program, warned that "one cannot assume too readily that religion i.s a powerful and reliable force against prejudice."

Jerusalem (JTA) -- Z a 1 m a n Shazer, Israel's 7!! year-old President, was elected to a second five-year term by the Knesset this week. Eighty-six out of 110 Knesset members voted for Mr. Shazar. the only candidate. Twenty-four cast blank ballots. Knesset speaker Kadisli Luz, accompanied by- Prime Minister EshknI. visited President Shazar at his home to inform him oflieially of his reelection and to offer congratulations. The Israel presidency is largely a ceremonial oflice although the President is. officially, the Chief of State. He i.s elected by secret ballot in the Knesset and hus certain statutory rights such as pardoning criminals and summoning a Knesset-member to form a government after election;; or if tlio existing government resigns. Nevertheless, certain factions in the Knesset were apparently opposed to Mr. Shazar's re-election. The one-man party. Haolam Hazeh, urged that a younger man should symbolize a young state. He apparently reflected the views of some of tho former Rafi and younger former Mapai elements in Israel's dominant United Labor Party.
vided all non-Jewish applicants would be accepted, irrespective of race, color or religion." He pointed out that in 1900. approxt imately 20 per cent of the members were non-Jewish, only one family being Negro. The Center froze its membership list in Ift(i7 and conducted a study of membership policy, concluding that non-Jewish members could not be accepted in excess of 20 per cent in each category, Mr. Katz protested that the decision had not- been submitted to the membership. He declared that the National Jewish Welfare Board had actively participated in the discussions leading to the quota policy and "cannot di.s-associate itself from this action." Mr. Katz asserted that "other Jewish communitycenters covertly engage in the same practice, but no Jewish Conununity Center has been so bold as to state it so baldly." KK.U.

One would hope lhat D1-. King's death would serve as a catalyst lo the nation to bind up our wounds and immediately set out to work at solving our domestic problems now. How loni; mu.st we wait for our legislators to guarantee by new laws, those basio^ rights provided to all citizens by the Constitution? When will we recognize the injustices leveled upon our black citizens? Can we now get to work rind seek to eradicate those conditions which breed violent behavior on the part of :i few? Can we restore hope, confidence and a fcelinj; that black Americans can have a future in our country? We need study the problem no more. We1 have studied this problem too lone. N'JW is Hie time for action. Now is the time for government at all levels, businessmen, and all citizens to address themselves to the recommendations of the President's Commission on Civil Disorders. Now is the time to start fulfilling the dreams which Dr. King had for America. Hopefully, .someday soon, we shall overcome.
Panorama
By David Schwartz
It was intdctmj; pissing the <12nd St. arc.i m Ni >v Yoik dining the past Weil: wheie the foreign papers nre on sale, to g l a n c e at the i r ont pages Whether tlu pa pers were pi ml ed in Lou don, Paris, Rome or H a m b u r g, on page one, there was h e a dlined the s t o r y of Moshe Dayan's J). Sclmartz uccident. Probably no Jew has been'as famous since the days of the Bible. Perhaps the one exception was Einstein and in the case of Einstein, he was eonfined to the inside pages. Einstein was an enigma to the world. It was puzzled by him. Time, he said, was not something just on a clock. It was a real thing. You could almost buy it in a grocery store. It was a f o u r t h dimension. Parallel lines meet. The whole world was not what it appeared to be on the surface. Everything was relative. So Einstein was written about, buf you found the stories on the editorial pages with the erossworld puzzles and such things. He was never hot news like Dayan. Popularity Just a few days before the Dayan accident, the L o n d o n Times polled the students of an English military school to get their opinions of the ten top military c o m m a n d e r s of the 20th century. Dayan was ranked seventh, above G e n e r a l MeArthur, which is rank enough for a man coming from a country with a total population less than a quarter of that of the city of London. Jews had always associated themselves and Israel in particular, with peace. It was the Israelite prophets who prophesied n world in which t h e r o would be no soldiers. All the arms-p r e d u c i n g campanies would be t u r n i n g out plowshares and school books. The Jew was not only thought ns non-military but was condemned and held up to mockery for his alleged lack of the ability to fight. Today, the Jewish image has changed. Provocation The oilier day we listened to n story. An Englishman, Italian end Israeli were visiting some re-mote jungle nrea. Cannibals captured them, /
•
.L -
The cannibals were ecstatic. They saw before them choice human, steaks, roast beef of real Englishman, fried Jewish liver and Italian kidneys. Their mouths watered. But cannibals have a bit of heart too. T h e y allowed all three a last wish. The Englishman wanted fish and chips, plum pudding and beer. The Italian wanted ravioli and lasagna, pizza pie, and wine. The Israeli asked for a swift kick. The cannibals were puzzled by the Israeli request. ."Surely," they said, "you want something better than that." Leave it to them, they said, they would fix up a nice meal for him. The Israeli insisted. They had said they would grant one wish and his wish was for a strong kick. His wish was granted. The cannibals selected their strongest man to deliver the kick, which sent the Israeli reeling for many yards. The Israeli lifted h i m s e 1 f, took a little gun and rushed at the cannibals, k i l l i n g all of them. "If you had that gun," asked the Englishman and the Italian, "why didn't you use it before?" "We Israelis," he r e p l i e d , ''have-to have strong provocation before we fight." New Image Is there not some truth hiding in the story? Daynn may be a great military leader, but how was he engaged, when the accident occurred, which almost entombed him? He was doing some archaelogical digging. His daughter, Yael, has written of her father's archaelogical proclivities, He will often disappear. No one know.1.' where ho is. Later, he will be seen returning with his shovel. It is, she says, when he talks about archaeology, that his face shines nnd his eyes light up. The Israeli army too, is accounted as a fine fighting army, but there is no hurraying in it for the military life either. However, it must be said that the fighting has paid off not only for Israel, but for the Jew the world over. In the past, when Jews were attacked, Jewish organizations would adopt resolutions condemning the brutality, but the fighting of Israel has done more to raise the respect for the Jew than all the resolutions combined. It's sad, maybe, lhat people have so much respect for fighting, but alas, 'tis true.
By NORMAN' I,. HAII.V Chairman, Omaha Human Relations Hoard Dr, Martin Luther King is ••ie;id. We join in mourning his passin/;. It would be so easy to say he was killed by a sick mind, or by a conspiracy, or by a mad man. Uut the sad truth j<; that v.'u directed the hand ol that sick man. The Mayor, die Public Safely Director, and (lie Police Chief who dismissed the grievances ol Negroes as b'.-ing unluiindcd. Their display of a lack of understanding; lhat a grievance, whether real or imagined, is very real to the person having such a grievance—and that like any human being, he .should be listened to and counseled with -they helped to kill him, The City Council menilier, (lie .Stale I.euislnlor, (lie Congressman and Seiialor who reluscd to s u p p o r t open-housing legislation on the grounds that "it would not be tlic politically right tiling to do." or because he values "property rights over human rights"—they too helped to kill him. The politicians who forgot that leadership requires courage to do what is right. That a leader "makes waves of change," not just rides along on waves that others are making—they too helped to kill him. Tlu- school administrator, (he school board member who is willing to accept a lower level of achievement from ghetto area students nnd not put the effort and money into raising the level of achievement of such students—but just push them along to become some one else's problem and then become school dropouts, and then eventually become the problem of the police and society -they too helped to kill him. The first ami second generation American who. thinks the United States started when his parents or grandparents got off the boat while
u pulhii,; tin m r]\, , up bj then bootstraps—he forgot that no one pulls himself up without help from .someone else, that no one. can have a sense of self-worth and dignity unless others make him feel cared tor and worthy—they too helped to kill him. The I'TA member who shows his concern for his children's education by only working on school fund-raising carnivals and bake sales— not thinking or caring enough about his own children -to realize and know that some day they will leave the academic world and Jive in a world, work in a country, walk on the streets, with ignorant, uneducated people who have been ignored and hated because their skin color was dilierent they too helped to kill him. And. in back of (hem all were (he quiet .sublie ones the ones who want, peace and order the ones who want the status quo, the ones who (when they do open their mouths) say, "what do (hey want from us?"—"(hey are moving too last —the ones who never say had words or racial slurs—but, who keep tlieir mouths shut when a neighbor or relative spits his bigotry are actually the most guilty, (hey too helped to kill him. They all helped to pull that trigger in Memphis. Possibly the goal of Dr. Martin Luther King was loo .simple. All he wanted was for all Americans, black and white, to live as brothers in dignity—maybe his goal was too simple for us to understand. Therefore, we killed him. Just as we have killed many others in tile past, Ours is a sick society. Only we can make it well. All of us working together—either we have put a gun to ourselves, or—we will make Dr. King's death a positive force in the saving of our own lives and the lives of our children,

By CAUL ALPKRT Haifa—When the gold speculators of the world were busy putting their squeeze on the American dollar not long ago, Israel's Hebrew press came out one day with a b o l d dispatch "Israel Supports the Sagging US Dollar!" From the point of view of the inter n a t i o n a 1 bankers Israel's s action may not I have l o o m e d \ \ very large, but i this c o u n t r y ' s Alpcri fiscal authorities took a deliberate step to indicate its faith in the dollar, and its refusal to join the hoarding hounds who were baying outside Fort Knox. At a moment when tlie dollar was under critical pressure overseas, the Israel treasury .stepped into the market and acquired more dollar investments, bringing its portfolio of dollar reserves up to about $200,000,000. I repeat, the monetary value
of Ilirse. holdings may be relatively small, but tins was a defiant (,'eslure of protest by Israel against (lie foes of America, and an indication of friendship for the United States Furthermore, when the gold panic was drawing into its vortex m a n y respectable institutions and nations, all anxious to protect their capital, Israel let it be known that she was not joining the gold rush. This country's permanent gold holdings have been estimated at about SO to 70 million dollars, and no further purchases were being made. To do so would be considered an unfriendly act to the U.S. There is an ironic footnote to this. It has been estimated that no less than 40 per cent of the gold purchases during the European gold stampede were made by the Arab oil princes who do not have to worry about income on their investments, and feel safer if their immense wealth is in a form which they can see and touch and weigh. Financial Dangers There Is no doubt that the critical international financial
Passover Away From Home
RICCENTLY SEPARATED from tlieir families, llicfle Jewish recruits observe the Festival of Freedom as members of the Jewish congregation at their U.S. Naval Training Center.- Conducting the Seder Is (heir Jewish chaplain. The Seder scene is typical of Hie hundreds of Passover observances at installations in Vietnam, (ho United Slates and throughout the world, which arc made all the more meaningful by (he religious supplies and holiday lio.sliir foods provided through (lie JWB Women's Organizations' Services end JWB Armed Forces and Veteran Services.
situation holds dangers for Israel. These exist in two areas. Out; is the general effect of gold hoarding. Billions of dollars have been withdrawn from banks and investments and put into gold, which lies inert in private vaults. This is capital which is not "working." The withdrawal of such enormous sums and the equivalent reduction in liquidity must obviously reduce world trade and commerce. Little Israel, and other developing countries seeking to sell their wares in world markets, will find that money has become scarce. Hoarded gold is not spent, and neither is it used as credit for commercial or industrial development. Our export drive could be seriously affected, and it is no consolation to know that other countries would be similarly hurt. The second danger to Israel lies in the protective measures which the United States may be called upon to take. Pressures at home may result in a reduction of dollars available to Israel, whether from contributions, bond purchases, invest.,.' ment or tourism. The first steps ' taken by Washington in this regard have not yet struck at Israel, but the danger is very real. Blessing in Disguise? There are some economists in Israel who claim that American fiscal restrictions would be a blessing in disguise for Israel. Faced by a crisis, this .country would be compelled to take drastic internal measures. A strict austerity would have lo bo introduced. Israel industry would have to learn to live and expand and get along on its own power. Israelis would have to tighten their belts, and save. The accumulated d o m e s t i c savings would have to be the source of investment capital, and the net result would be a healthier, sounder economy, not dependent on foreign factors. Just as this country lias found it a vital necessity to free itself from dependence on foreign sources of food, or arms for defense, so we would have to dig deeply into our own resources and not be so subservient to foreign sources of capital. The suggestion may be t ^ relically sound, but I question whether Israel could stand the test at this time. •
