Jerusalem UTA) -- Foreign Minister Abba Kban rejected notions of a ''peace offensive" by Egypt, an alleged development that in a d e headlines around the world during the past few days. Mr. Eban, in a report to the Cabinet on the current international political situation, said all available evidence indicated that Egypt's stand was as intrnsigent as ever. Mr. Eban based his negative assessment on three recent ^developments which appear to have been overshadowed by the "peace offensive" reports in the press. One, he said, was Egyptian President Nasser's bellicose speeches in Moscow where ho was feted by Kremlin leaders. Mr. Nasser used aggressive phrases, Mr. Eban asserted, and declared that "every inch of Arab soil must be liberated." Another development, which he said was largely overlooked by the world press, was the joint statement issued by Mr. Nasser and the president of the Southern Yemen Republic on July 2, which described the "liquidation of the c o n s e quences" of the June, 1907 ArabIsrael war as only a first phase, after which would come the "liberation of Palestine," Mr. Eban said, Finally, there was the official denial- in Cairo of a remark attributed to the Egyptian Foreign Minister, -Mahmoud Riad, that Egypt recognized the ''reality" of Israel's existence. The latter remark, reportedly made by Mr Riad at a press confrence in Copenhagen, was originally .reported by only one ol the journalists present, the Reuters correspondent. The reporter has since backed down, saying he
was "not sure," that Mr. Riad had actually made the statement. Mr. Eban said that in view of these factors, it is obvious that Egypt does not, at the present time, want to bring its 20year-old dispute with Israel to an end. Israel, he said, will make these points clear before international bodies and in world capitals. Israel will also reiterate its readiness to meet with Egyptian representatives in order to try to change their negative policies, the Foreign Minister said. Mr. Eban report* ed further that Israel continues its willingness to cooperate with the United Nations peace envoy, Ambassador Gunnar V. Jarring, in his efforts to bring permanent peace to the Middle East.

Jewish Refugee Problem Reported Vienna (JTA)—The June, 1!)R7 Arab-Israel war created a Jewish refugee crisis that placed new burdens on the rescue, relief and rehabilitation programs carried out by the Joint Distribution Committee and other Jewish agencies, the JDC's director-general Louis D. Horowitz said here. Mr. Horowitz said that as a direct result of the June war, the 3,000 Jews remaining in Libya fled to Italy and 20,000 Jews left Morocco and Tunisia for France. In addition, he said, severe hardships were imposed on the 8,500 Jews who remain trapped in Egypt, Syria and Iraq, while the Polish Government's suspension of JDC <inrl ORT welfare activities left Poland's 18,000 mostly elderly Jews without needed aid. • Mr. Horowitz said that the Middle East crisis underlined the long term importance of France, Italy and Austria as the principal European countries where Jewish refugees can find haven. "The insecurity that haunts the Jews of North Africa coupled with the unpredictable migration policies of the E a s t e r n European countries means that the JDC and other international Jewish relief agencies continue to work in a climate of crisis," Mr. Horowitz said. He added, however, that "as long as these havens exist, wo can be grateful that Jews can get to places where we can reach them and help them on the spot." , . .'.....- '..,

"In fact, the Pentateuch speaks in a sense of a 'guaranteed annual income' for the poor when it decrees that the poor shall receive us a matter of right, that which grows in the corner of the field, the forgotten sheak or fruit, the produce of the fields every seventh year, and the tithe ol the harvest eventhird year." The statement noted further that "as the agrarian economy of Judea was replaced by the mixed economy of later years, the obligation to maintain the poor was translated into money. Thus, from the taxes and voluntary contributions imposed upon the Jewish community, the resident poor were entitled under Jewish law to sufficient funds every week to defray the cost of their meals, as well as additional funds to insure that they would "keep their self respect.'"

"We need the re-establishment of relations more than Israel; we need it for moral reasons," Mnacko said in an interview with the newspaper "Svohodne Slovo."

The order revoking his citizenship was rescinded under the new parly leadership of Alexander Dubcek, Mnacko returned to Czechoslovakia two months ago.

the Administration considered the Hawks a substitute lor the supersonic Phantoms. A State Department source .said that the Hawk sale was justifiable because it involved "purely defensive arms" while a Phantom transaction would be "controversial in that this is an attack aircraft that has an aggressive potential." Representative W i 1 1 i a m Biooiiifieid.

By .Milton Friedman Congress will adjourn in a few weeks again without having ratified the United Nations Convention on Genocide and other human r i g h t s mm_ pacts with one j~™ 1 minor exception, j The year I'JGii •was designated | by the UN and {' the United Status ; • " /. sis the Interna- i tional Year lor | Jl u m a n Rights. [ -^: Jt was aiso a -• year in w h i c h Russia. Poland. i.- li( ., mi:m Egypt and Syria singled out Jews lor discriminHowever. the U.S. could not usk those countries to respect their ratification ol UN conventions outlawing discrimination. While the U.S. has failed to ratiiy eight ol the nine anti-bias measures, the pacts that would theoretically protect Jews were
vatified by Russia. Poland. Egypt and Syria. The only one ol the nine approved liy the U.S. Senate this year was the treaty on abolition of slavery. The slavery measure was ratitied because American Negro groups put pressure on Senators in this election year. Jewish groups are prominent in a .special ad hoc committee that pledged a vigorous fight during Human Rights Year lor ratification of ihe genocide pact and the other eight long'pending pacts. No real campaign developed. No confrontation occured with Senators or the Presidential candidates of either party. As adjournment approaches no more action is anticipated. The U.S. placed 117th out of 12) nations on the ratification table. The Philippines honored Human Rights Year by ratifying all nine treaties. Fascist Epr.in approved four.
Bv BOWS SMOLAK The Jewish s c h o o l system throughout the e o u n t r y has rlosed for the summer with a loss of more than 45,001) pupils as compared with p r e v i o u s years. Only two years ago, the total number of children enrolled in the .schools was estimated at 600,000. This school year the estimated enrollment was less than 5r>:),(iou. The loss is especially grave considering t h a t the GuO.OOO level had been maintained for about 10 years. It represents a seven percent reduction in the number of children who have attended Jewish schools of all types — Sunday schools, afterjiotin M'liools and all-day schools — in 455 communities: this, at, a finie u'hf'ii the nr-nd for intensified Jewish education has been stressed in ail Jewish communities. The Uneducated There are a b o u t 1 ,:SO»,fi"P Jewish children in the country in the 3-17 year-age group. This means that a b o u t 800,000 of them have never crossed the threshold of a Jewish school. The p i c t u r e is especially •gloomy in cities with large Jewish populations. The larger the Jewish community,-the smaller the percentage of children attending Jewish schools. The picture is not rosy in the small communities either. The 13 largest Jewish communities in the country — each with a Jewish population of 50,000 or more— have on their records 70 percent of the total pupils enrolled in the Jewish schools. The other 30 percent are s c a t t e r e d in schools located in a b o u t 440 smaller communities. But more than 42 percent of th«? total attend Sunday schools only. There you have a picture of how meager Jewish education is in this country today. The fact that 43 per cent of the pupils in all schools are girls also throws an interesting light on the present state of Jewish education. 1 Parents and Children '.- The American Association for Jewish Education, w h i c h dis' closed the decline in the number of c h i l d r e n in Jewish '.schools attribute it to the decline in the Jewish birth rate • during the last few years. But it does not mention the fact that there are many young Jewish parents who never attended a Jewish, school < as children. It can be assumed that these parents — themselves strangers to Jewish education—have no In-
terest in providing such education for their children. This opens an entirely new problem—the growing need for adult Jewish e d u c ation. The time has come for the Jewish communities to think very seriously about 'Jewish education for parents no less than for children. Whatever the reason is for the present drop in the enrollment in the Jewish schools, the concern of Jewish community leaders has been aroused by this development. The question is posed: who is guilty? Is the school system to be blamed? Are the parents to be blamed? Are the organized communities to be blamed for talking a lot about Jewish education but not doing enough? Does the reason lie in the general climate of life in this country? Jewish education in America is estimated to be a $100,000,000 a year business. No less than that sum was spent this year to provide Jewish education for the 555,000 enrolled children. There are at l e a s t 17,000 teachers employed, m a n y of them on a part time b a s i s . There are Jewish school buildings to maintain, Jewish education committees and J e w i s h textbooks. Needs The Council of Jewish federations and Welfare Funds has emphasized that the strengthening of Jewish education in quality and effectiveness is of the utmost importance to the future of Jewish communities in America. The drop in the number of pupils in the Jewish elementary schools necessitates the expansion of the work of the CJFWF body. Instead of limiting its acof the most urgent needs—recruitment of teachers and postelementary education •—it will have to think as well of how to check the decline in elementary education. The CJFWF committee has been discussing what the priorities should be for Federation action in Jewish education and how communal funds can bo used most effectively. W h i l e there are many unmet needa and a variety of requirements for strengthening Jewish education, it Is obvious that primary attention must be focused on the dwindling number of children in the Jewish elementary schools and how to prevent a further decline. W i t h o u t elementary education there can be no postelementary education.
Genocide l'aet Genocide and freedom of association have been stalled by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee since 19-19. In l%0, former UN.Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms ol Racial Discrimination. But President Johnson has never transmitted this convention to the Senate. Among the other conventions awaiting official transmittal are pacts aimed at discrimination in employment and education. These would apply directly to the anti-Jewish measures instituted during I noil in Poland. Sen. William \V. Proxmire, Wisconsin Democrat, has almost daily (alien the Senate floor to urge action on the genocide pact and other conventions. Me Is ignored. The news media no longer cover his appeals. Arguments are heard that other nations could exploit American racial turbulence by uisng the UN as a forum to hear complaints by Negroes, Mexican-Aniericans, Puerto Ricans, American Indians, and other minorities, At the time that he signed Truman Support' the UN Charter in 1945, President Truman called for an International Bill of Rights, including Genocide and anti-bias pacts. He said that. "Unless we can attain those objectives for all men and women everywhere —without regard to race, language or religion—we cannot have permanent peace find security." The convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide was adopted by the General Assembly in 1948 with strong U.S. support. Mr. Truman submitted it to the Senate in 1949. A report and a declaration was prepared by a subcommittee of the Foreign Relations Committee but no final action was ever taken by the full committee. The convention on the freedom of association and protection of the right to organize is of great potential importance to Soviet Jewry. Yet Russia has ratified this convention while the U.N. has not. Therefore, the U.S. Government is hardly in a position to demand Russian adherence to a pact that the Senate has ignored since 1949 when Truman sent it to the Senate. Jews suffer educational bias in the Soviet Union. Polish Jews have been fired wholesale merely because of their religion. Neither the education nor employment pacts have yet been submitted to the Senate: Poland and Russia have ratified both. Interested groups may be able to achieve at the coming political conventions and platform hearings some steps toward accomplishing in 1909 what they failed to do in 1968. Yet there is no evidence of any momentum in this direction.

toiktdMj APPLAUDS FEDERATION My family and 1 appiaud the decision of the Jewish Federation to include Negro children in the Esther K. Newman Camp program. We agree with your statement that the decision will not solve the social problems of our city; but it is a giant step; and most significantly, it was made by "A People," not just "some people." Since non-Jewish c h i l d r e n have always been accepted at our camp, it Is. gratifying to know that our Federation will not distinguish b e t w e e n nonJews because of color. I spenk for a grateful family with a young son enjoying his first season at camp. We're grateful for fill awakened Jewish community, and for our son's opportunity to learn human relations for himself. Mrs. Morley (Charlotte) Zipursky. MORE APPLAUSE The members of The Board of the Omaha Jewish Federation and Esther K. Newman Camp have assuaged, to a degree, my ever present hurt. My outcry Is for the non-participating, Indifferent Jew who lacks the warmth and understanding to create better worldwide relationships d e v o i d of prejudice and petty misunderstandings. I, as a foreigner, and I uso this term loosely here, for I am now an American citizen, was lucky to have been r a i s e d amongst friends of all races, religions, creeds and color. I only wish for my own children, what I have always been fortunate enough to experience; a total involvement with mankind! My son now at Esther K. Newman Camp will share his enthusiasm for life with his colored friends. He if ill learn, I am sure, how his colored friend uses his God-given musculature. At track my eleven-year old son has learned to admire the colored boys who have beaten him ot his favorite sport. In my own youth I learned something from each individual. From the "Mestizo", I learned to "fiesta", a party time where one vents every pent-up f e e l i n g , where the misfit is unknown, where there is no shame in wealth or poverty,.. From my Spanish friends I acquired the ability to uninhibitedly enjoy music; from the poorest, illiterate who could not read music,
I listened to guitar-playing while every nerve of my body tingled, from the Afro-Cuban I learned how to play the bongos,-and read into their rhythmical music. From the I n d i a n s , with whom I broke "tortillas".within his shack, I found the innnto love of child and nature ... , Only recently Rabbi Kripko brought to our house a book on "Logotherapy" (a t h e o r y of man's search for a meaning in existence). I have f o u n d it. Thank you for widening the scope of life for my child . . . Mrs. Waller (Yvonne) Greenbcrg Editor's note: The Utters i:bove were the only letters received by the Jewish Press this week with reference to the Federation action about camp. As the paper was going to press I learned of two sets of parents who had received mail from their children which referred to the Negro children. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Greenberg received the following post card from their I! year old son, Paul: Dear Family: Today is Sunday, July T, liJiiS. We have 10 colored children at our camp to stay 1 week. Wo have a colored boy in our cabin named Howie. He Is very nice. -»

Mr. and Mrs. Orval Milder received a lengthy letter from their 11 year old son Kenny, At the end of the letter,With spaco running out, Kenny comments: "Oh by thn way, there arc now 1C Negro kids at'camp;- The one in our cabin is a real great guy." •»

I Write as I Please By Mickey Gerelick Aside from the obvious advantages offered by trade journals, I'm convinced that they serve a deep psychological need as well. Whatever the trade, the pact's of the trade journal provide the comfort that can only be found in the knowledge Hint other.1; in the same business have the" same problems you do. That's why I was particularly moved recently by an .item that appeared in "Editor and Publisher." It wns titled "An Editor's Prayer" and read in part as follows:
Keep the Devil from breaking bin news alter deadline, -f
*
=*
Jtcrt' or belter ideas of how lo do' tilings, progress n e v e r colncs. Keep me tolerant of tin intolerant. Make me charitable without sentimentality. And help me Keep my big mouth shut uhen my temper riscs. Above all, Lord, give my readers llle tolerance to put up with my own liiimnn weaknesses. Lord, help me put this jig-saw puzzle of a newspaper together on time every day (every week). Help me lo cope with the perversities of Inanimate machinery. Help me lo give everyone fair treatment, even If space won't allow full tie.itment.
Before I put my "Amc-n1' on that, prayer, 1 really must add a few postscripts of my own. * » * I have no .staff problems, Lord, because I have no stall. But f do need help.

Help them to know that we iit-ed their involvement if our Jewish paper —• and our Jewish community is to survive. Let our advertisers know we 'appreciate- .their support; and let our readers understand that they should support our advertisers. Speaking of readers. L o r d , make sure 1 don't lose them during the next six weeks when we suspend publication, Keep them well and safe and eagerly looking forward to the August 30 issue. As for deadlines, I really can't expect suspension of news for six weeks. While it would be nice to come back on August .10 with a "big" story, I don't think you should wait,,, If you can arrange for Peace —in V'fet Nam, in Israel, on our i-lly streets; then forget the (leadlines—just get it rionr. I'll understand — and so will my readers. Amen.
Were I a big, mean city, badly in need of rehabilitation, I'd look to Uncle Sam for help. If Uncle Sam were dragging his feet I wouldn't try to whistle him on any faster, I'd tin u around and grab a hold of someone who, •with a little shaking, would provide. . The day is not far off when the suburbs will have to come to the aid of the city. The manifold ways in which the old suburbs wili respond elude me here. I hate predictions nnd prescriptions, especially when it concerns a population so capricious as your average American home-owner, w e 1 l h e e 1 ed or mortgage-ridden. Pilot Programs This is not the day to c;.rp or cavil. In some of the northeastern states there ore already pilot programs underway this summer which consist of bussing disadvantaged urban poor into the middle-class paradise •we call suburbia. New York City has long had a program of taking colored elum kids to all the museums and opera houses and theaters in the hope that this exposure will bring hope to the hopeless. The bussing from slums into summer schools nnd pools is motivated by much the same inspiration. Trouble is nothing is much more controversial than the bussing of children to white schools or white children to far' neighborhood schools or Catholic children to parochial schools. • One of the major revolutions in the civil rights movement was the Montgomery bus boy. cott led by Martin Luther King, Jr, Summer pilot programs can be the handwriting on the sidewalk as it were. Already there tire rumbles from the suburbs. Suburban Backlash The folks who live in homes half backtop driveway nnd half washer-dryer are worried that
standards' will be lowered if suburban schools accommodate city kids. They have no compunctions about admitting the disparity in schooling; it is just that they don't want their children deprived to the point of equality. If standards are not lowered, they argue, then what's the point of the whole program? The slum kid will automatically flunk out. A subtler argument is that the bussing system is manifestly unfair lo colored kids. It exposes them to goodies they can never truly enjoy, like tennis courts or swimming pools, or classrooms wit'i bulletin boards. The poor kids will go home grumpy and be all that more dissatisfied. Both arguments are specious. More kids, white and colored, went on to institutions of higher learning from the Washington, D.C. school system after integration than did before. There were dire warnings of total illiteracy i s s u e d in the 1950s when' Eisenhower integrated those schools. Exposure As for exposure, think of what happened to Columbia University, a prestigious Ivy League school plunk in the middle of Harlem. The students saw. And they took over. And the administration had no idea the students were seeing. This is not to argue the pros and cons of the Co 1 u i n b i a demonstrations; it does argue exposure more often inspires than it disappoints. The idea of the affluent providing opportunity to the poor by sharing facilities is new. Only grudgingly do the affluent consent to taxes. I have no doubt that the prospect of intercommunion between city and suburban school systems will be called unconstitutional. But I have no doubt that intercommunion will probably bless all of us sooner or later.
