Jerusalem (JTA)—An Israeli commando unit struck deep into Egypt- more than 100 ratlgs west of the Red Sea shores, wrecking "two '• bridges at the Nile River and blasting a huge transformer station. All of the commandoes returned safely to their bases. The number of the raiders was not disclosed. Neither was the leca•' tion of the bases from which the daring raid was ' mounted nor the means of transport. It was as• sumed that either light planes or helicopters • were used.

Peace Hopes Fading Jerusalem (JTA)—There is little optimism here about the prospects for peace talks with the Arabs. Escalation of, hostilities at the Suez Canal and a new tough tone taken by Egyptian diplomats in private t a l k s with Western statesmen contribute to this mood. " The Egyptians said that new and more violent attacks than the October 26 artillery barrage at the canal would take place—a view echoed by- the authoritative Cairo newspaper Al Ahram .which warned that Egypt could retaliate for Israel's Thursday commando strike into Egypt. - There, is little expectation that Egypt will reply in the affirmative to Israel's question t h r o u g h Dr. Jarring about whether it was willing to start talks aimed at a peace treaty. .

The bridges hit by the raiders were the Qena bridge, a new bridge over the Nile opened to ^traffic last year, and the Naja Hammdi bridge, a 40-year:old structure built to serve as a Nt'e river regulator. -Major damage reportedly was done to the electric station which has nine units. All were blown up or wrecked in a raging fire that followed,.lhe blast. The station provided electricity for the entire area and was an important relay to Cairo. It was reported that large areas of Egypt were blacked out by the Israeli action. _ —~~—r '.'

Ho Jewish Rites for Nixed Carriages
Rabbi RothsteLa Heads Correctional Assodation
NEWARK, N. J. (JTA) — The Board of Rabbis of Essex County, N.J., has warned couples in mixed marriages not to be "deluded into the false assumption that they have been married according to the Jewish rite" even if their wedding was a religioujs ceremony performed by a rabbi. The warning was contained in a statement signed by 24 rabbis which appeared as an advertisement in the Jewish News -of Newark'. It noted, that "mixed marriage is a growing fact in American-Jewish life'1 and that some families desire a "facesaving solution" by seeking out a rabbi who' will officiate at such a ceremony. "No rabbinic body, Orthodox;' Conservative or Reform, either in the past or present, has ever • approved of a rabbi officiating at a mixed marriage," the state-' ment said. "The very blessing essential to a Jewish marriage ceremony, including Jthe formula, Thou art consecrated to me according to the law of Moses and Israel,' make the.ceremony of mixed marriage an act of hypocrisy . , . Let not our people, and particularly our young people, be misled by the performance of such 'Jewish religious ceremonies.'"

Jordan, former Executive Vice-chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee, receives; the Nanscn Medal for 1?G8 from Prince Sadruddin Aga Kahn, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees at a formal ceremony In the Council Chamber of the Palais des Nations in Geneva. In presenting the medal Prince Sadruddin, who is also Chairman of the Nanscn Medal Award Committee, paid tribute to Mr. Jordan's "lasting work" on behalf of refugees. Mr. Jordan, who was also a former President of the International as well as the American Council of Voluntary Agencies, died under mysterious circumstances while on a vacation trip to Prague In August, 19G7.
- PARIS (JTA) — Marcel Dassault, whose company produces the Mirage jet fighter p l a n e which is the backbone of Israel's Air Force, told a press conference, here that the sale of 50 Mirage-V jets to I s r a e l was barred last June by President Charles deGauIle because "they are offensive attack planes." • Israel ordered and paid for the planes which now are1 housed - complete with'Is r a e 1 i Air Force markings—at\"airports in outhern France. The- manufact u r e r also said tha't if Israel was ever in danger it would .get the 50 planes and he added that Israel had obtained from France since the June, 1967 war "all the necessary defensive weapons" it neded. The manufacturer, a . c o n f i d a n t e of Gea dcGaulle, enumerated the defensive weapons as "helicopters and certain other planes, electronic equipment and probably even tanks.
Lithuanian Jews Appeal/ for Right to Emigrate ' N e w York (JT* A)—Jewish intellectuals living in Vilna have appealed to the Lithuanian Com. • munist Party to permit Lithuanian Jews to emigrate to Israel because "we are not wanted here." The appeal was made ._ by 26 intellectuals in a letter1 ^""which was not signed because'" V «we know well how people who *~ had protested against flourishing anti-Semitism in the Soviet ?•— Union at one time or another were summarily dealt with." The letter was made public by the Academic Committee on Soviet,. Jewry, and- is the first written protest against Soviet •anti-Semitism by Jews living in — t h e USSR that has come to the . attention of Western observers, according to Prof. Nathan Glaz' er, the committee's newly^elect•- ed chairman. Prof. Glazer, of the University of California, described'the appeal for emigration as "unique and unprecedented." The letter said In part, "If the borders would be opened for emigration today, some 80 percent of the entire Jewish populace would leave Sovict_Llthuan!a_and_ depart for Israel." The letter, addressed to Comrade A. Snieckus, first secretary of the Lithuanian Communist Party's central committee, was s m u g g l e d to the
West some time ago, Dr. Glazer said.

Why is it, then, that Israel now refuses to sign the international convention adopted by the United Nations, seeking to prevent the proliferation of "nuclear weapons?

Who Are the Real
as military chaplains. Prior to the Civil War, the legal status of Jewish chaplains had never been raised because all Army chaplains had beer. Protestant until the Mexican War. But when "thousands of Jews enlisted.in the Union Army, the synagogues demanded that rabbis be given commissions as chaplains. Not until Lincoln personally ' intervened and persuaded Congress to amend the law barring rabbis ,, were Jewish chaplains permitted in 1862. v *:. • Such prominent 19th Century rabbis as Isaac Lesser, David Einhorn and Isaac Mayer Wise led a delegation that met with PresidentjJuchanan in 1857 and obtained from him a promise to amend an American treatyiJ with Switzerland that discriminated against American Jews. The synagogues were m o s t prominent in the successfuljnteryerition with President -Lin-, coin -that resulted in his revoking General Grant's notorious Order No. 11 which had, expelled the Jews frorri large sections of Tennessee and-Kentucky during the Civil War. • Closest Ties The President who had the closest relationship to the synagogue was William Howard Taft, As a boy in Cincinnati he fre-. quently accompanied his father to the synagogues of Rabbis Max Lilienthal and Isaac M. Wise, both of whom Were friends of the elder Taft. As President, Taft spoke from synagogue pulpits twice. President Truman was the first Chief Executive at whose inauguration a rabbi participated. He was Rabbi Samuel Thurman of St. Louis' United Hebrew Congregation, who had been a colleague of Truman's in the ' Missouri Grand Lodge of Masons. The late Rahbi Abba Hillel Silver, of Cleveland, participated in Eisenhower's. ^inauguration. The same honor came to Dr. Nelson GJueck, president of ^Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, at the Kennedy inauguration. Rabbi Hyman Judah Schachtel, .of .Congregation Beth Israel, Houston, was the rabbinical participan t in Johnson's inauguration. , lathe week of the Presidential election, it is worth noting that one of the most significant things about more than 300 years of Jewish history in America"is the fact that no President, and no other really great leader of ;the American-people;- has-been— an anti-Semite.... ' The two Presidents on record as having made some minor disparaging remarks about individual Jews—John. Quincy Adams and Andrew" Johnson —did so either before or after they left the White. House. AJhird President, Ulysses S. Grants was the central figure in the first, and only^official • act: ol. anti-Semitism on the part of; the United States Government. But here too, it happened before Grant was in ttie White, House. ,

The Human Relations Board ,can become an agency of education and necessary enforcement of civil and human rights. That dignity and respect for each other can be instilled in all human beings.
The Mayor may then choose from the top two recommendations made by a majority of the Human Relations Board. Similarly, if a majority of the members of the board feel that the Human Relations Director is not carrying out the mandate of i the board or of the Charter, they can recommend that the Mayor discharge this director. 8. We suggest that proper legal steps be taken to assure necessary powers for the Human Relations Board in areas, including, but not limiteJ to, employment, housing, police-community relations, education, and public accommodations. Conclusion We believe that education alone will not effectively change people's patterh of behavior. Rather, we have seen that only through the passage of civil rights legislation and the en-
