How Much Is Enough? The Campaign Scoreboard reflects sizable increases this year among those who have already made their pledges. But more than half the community has yet to be heard from. Those who have not yet pledged to this year's campaign must still decide how much their dollar commitment will be. How much is enough? ._ . When every day brings another ugly incident; another attack; another threat; people tend to build up an immunity. As . the crisis-mood Is prolonged, the perils take on softer edges. •Eventually, times of crisis seem almost normal. Since 1967 a special Emergency Fund has been included in our annual campaign. But for Jews there has never been a "timeout" from crisis.

Israel R e j j e e t s ^ For Mid-Edsf Pence Settlement Jerusalem (JTA)—The Israel 'Government rejected outright a United States proposal for a Middle East settlement based on the United Nations Security Council's Nov. 22, 1967 resolution and again turned down the principle of Big Four intervention in the conflict. A statement of policy read by Premier Golda Meir following the Cabinet meeting declared that "Israel is not and will not become the object o£ power politics or iritra-power politics and will not accept any' recommendation which is in conflict with her vital interests, her rights and her security." The I s r a e l Government's statement reiterated its insistence on "a peace based on
peace treaties" that would lay down "agreed, secure and recognized boundaries." In the absence of such, treaties, the statement a s s e r t e d , Israel would "maintain and consolidate" tfio present cease-fire Ines. U.S. Proposals The U.S. proposals, not made public, were submitted to Britain, France and Soviet Russia and to the Israeli and Arab governments. A c e o r d i n g to Western diplomatic sources, the plan'would keep Jerusalem united under Israeli rulo but would return to the Arabs other territories occupied by Israel in the Six-Day War. The U.S. reportedly proposed creation of demilitarized zones
and establishment of an International peace-keeping, forco along new Israel-Arab borders. It was said to call for a guarantee of freedom of navigation for all nations including Israel in international waterways In the region—the Suez Canal and Straits of Tiran at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. The U.S. proposals reportedly called for a solution, or the Arab refugee problem that would offer a choice of permanent resettlement or financial reimbursement. ' . The plan is said to h a v e stressed that.a settlement must be in the form of a package agreement acceptable to' all parties with no point being implemented'without the entire plan becoming effective.

Threat of Terrorist Attack Cancels El Al Danish Flight
Bar Mitzvah Standards Set
COPENHAGEN (JTA)—El Al cancelled its regular flight from Tel Aviv to Copenhagen apparently on information that Arab terrorists planned to attack-the airliner when it landed at Kastrup Airport here. . Airport officials gave no official reason for the cancellation which was announced on short notice but at least 30 armed police officers took up positions at the airfield before the scheduled arrival time of the El Ai jet and two police boats patroled the sea off the airport. Sources here said Israeli intelligence agents had tipped off Danish Authorities Jo the planned attack and that Danish police were watching a man identified as the head of thei Scandrhaviah" branch of El Fatah, the Palestinian guerrilla organization. El Al airliners have been attacked, • with fatal results, at Athens and Zur -h airports in recent months. In each case the Popular Front lor the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist organization, claimed credit. The Copenhagen flight which would have carried 90 passengers and crew-members was scheduled to land here at 3:30 p.m* local time but never took off from Tel Aviv, airport officials said.
Melbourne (JTA)—The Council of Orthodox Synagogues of Victoria state announced that candidates for Bar Mitzvah will have to pass an examination based on a syllabus approved by it or attend Jewish schools for a prescribed period if they are to be Bar Mitzvah in affiliated synagogues. The rules stipulate attend ance for at least three years prior to Bar Mitzvah at an Orthodox Hebrew afternoon school or at least two years at a Jewish all-day school. The council. said it would issue certificates stating that the youngster had reached the required standards. A boy failing to meet the requirements by the time he reaches his 13th birthday may now have, his Bar Mitzvah ceremony in the synagogue at. a later date, provided he meets the standards, the council said.
ADL Protests Renewal of L.A. Radio Station License Washington (JTA)—The Supreme Court declined this week to review a lower court's decision upholding the license renewal of a suburban Los Angeles radio station accused of broadcasting anti-Semitic material. The renewal had been opposed by the southwestern regional office of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League which charged that the taped broadcasts of an ultra-conservative commentator, Richard Cotten,
liraeli-U.S. Officials Differ on Big 4 Issue Philadelphia (JTA) - The validity of Four Power talks on a Middle East settlement was challenged by an Israeli official and d e f e n d e d by a State Department representative In separate talks to the B'nai B'rith cabinet on Israel affairs, .holding its inaugural meeting here. Simcha Dinitz, minister of Information for the Israel Embassy, charged that the intent of the Soviet Union and the Arab states, in stimulating an • "artificial, atmosphere of impending war," was to undermine p r o s p e c t s for direct' Arab-Israeli d i a l o g u e and wrest p o l i t i c a l concessions within the framework of the Four Power talks. —Alfred L.Atherton, State Department specialist on ArabIsrael affairs, speaking at the opening session of the weekend meeting, said that the Administration, having "detected some indications" of Soviet agreement with its own views on preventing-war, was probing whether the Soviet Union agreed that only a "just and lasting peace" b a s e d on a "mutually accepted, carefully defined and contractually binding" settlement can avert the threat. . ,
contained "bigoted appeals to anti-Semitic prejudice." The Federal Communications Commission renewed the license of station KTYM on the grounds t h a t broadcasts had the right to air controversial material provided they adhered to the "fairness doctrine1' providing equal time for opposing views. The lower court upheld the FCC. It, was noted that the station had offered reply time to the ADL but the latter declined. In its appeal to the FCC to deprive the station of its license, the ADL cited broadcasts in w h i c h Mr. Cotten equated Communism with Socialism and Socialism with Judaism. He also accused Arnold Forster, general counsel of the ADL, of being a Communist spy. The ADL asserted that the commentaor's statements Were defamatory and not in the public interest.,

Rabbinical Fellowship has an-: hounced that it has joined the' | movement to boycott California table grapes because of investigations, that convinced them that "the grape growers of California were unethical and ; unfair in their campaign to' refuse unionization to oppressed farm workers." • . . The rabbinical group, whichI n c l u d e s the Conservative, Orthodox and Reform branches of Judaism in its membership, called on syngagogue members "to refuse to purchase or use California grapes until such time as the rights of workers in the grape vinyards were, respected."

When told more than was named secretary of the a month ago that supporters Inter-Fraternity Gpuncil at the of Dayan were; canvassing the p u b l i c for signatures to a U i i t f N b k
"Draft Dayan" petition, Mrs. Meir labelled this action undemocratic. "The Party and not the street will decide who will be the candidate for Prime Minister," she said. A similar explanation was given by the Labor Parly whip iii r lhe Knesset, Israel- Kargman: "We have a representational democracy, and the Central Committee (of the Party) will determine who the next Prime Minister will be." The movement to collect signatures backing Dayan was called "undemocratic, irresponsible and immoral" by the SecretaryGeneral of the Labor Party, Pinhas Sapir. • These are obviously delicate issues, but who would wish to create internal dissension at a time like this? Even critics threw their support, albeit reluctantly, to Mrs. Meir. The confrontation, and the expression of public will, have been'deferred.
CONFUSING STORY Editor's note: A story in the March 21 issue of the Jewish Press was headlined "Hillel Proposal Would Offer-Students Aid to Resist Draft,1' ' The story was released by the Jewish Telegraph Agency and carried by most Jewish newspapers serviced by JTA. Many B'nai B'rith members have questioned the validity of the story, including Mr. Lou Sobrin in Omaha. Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn, National Director of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations sent Mr. Sobrin a copy of a letter which was sent to the editor of the Southern Israelite in Atlanta, Georgia, following the publication'of the story in that paper. Written by Arnold D. Ellison, Executive Director of B'nai B'rith District G r a n d Lodge Five, the letter attempts to correct.some erroneous impressions created by the JTA jiews story. Mr. Ellison's letter follows: 77- " ' "".
.The functioning of a Hillel rabbi and of a Hillel Foundation, in so doing, is not only without the law, but this is the procedure which the Selective Service recommends for all religious institutions and their leaders on and off the campus. "Some people jump at unwarranted conclusions based on newspaper stories which are notoriously undependable and journalistically sensationalized by misleading headlines."

IDDY-BIDDY PARENTS NIGHT Z.-Wednesday, MarchI26TLihe annual Iddy-Biddy P a r e n t s Night was held in the Center Gym. The event gave the young boys an opportunity to demonstrate to their parents the basketball skills they have mastered during the current year. The younger boys who attend on Wednesdays and Thursdays, graciously performed the different passes used in basketball. They showed the basic skills of dribbling, and topped off their performance with a superb demonstration of the art of man-to-man defense. The more advanced group which a t t e n d s on Fridays played two regulation five minute games. Todd Finkle showed his basketball abilities by dribbling through the opposing defensive men and scoring several baskets. The highlight of the evening occurred when the referee blew his whistle and called for the shirts to- take the ball out. Kevin Scudder of the shirt team then very politely let the referee know that he had touched the ball, therefore giving the ball to the skin team. Isn't it wonderful to know such honesty still exists?
