Ten-year-old Jim Zipursky lies on his bed looking at baseball cards. It is a comfortable bed, surrounded by filled book shelves in a carpeted bedroom of the home he shares with his parents and two sisters. Jim Z i p u r s k y , 10-year-old Omaha Jewish youth, knows no other way of life. In another part of the world, 10-year-old Jewish boys like Jim have never slept in a bed above ground. Their homes in Israel lack the comfort and security that Jim Zipursky takes for granted. As & result,, underground shelters have been their bedrooms since the day they were born. They too, know no other way of life. Their life styles may differ; they may never meet; but Jim Zipursky and his counterparts in Israel have in common their rights as 10-year-old Jews to live and grow—in security and in dignity. They need each other to achieve that goal.

Torahs Destroyed In Synagogue Fire New York (MAT)—Five Torah scrolls - from a burned-out synagogue in the Bronx will be ceremonially buried when the grave-diggers strike here ends. The fire, at Congregation Ahavath Torah was termed arson by the City Fire Marshall's office. The Torah scrolls were .valued at more than $2,000 each. Mayor John V. Lindsay expressed "shock and outrage" and said that he has asked the City's Police Commissioner to take "extra measures" to capture the arsonists. Investigators summoned by the fire chief reported evidence of forced entry into the two-story brick building that houses the synagogue and the living quarters of Rabbi David Toiv. Rabbi Toiv and several meim bers of the congregation, who were in the synagogue when the fire was discovered, escaped without injury. But the rabbi was made homeless by the fire which destroyed the electric and heating utilities in his second floor apartment. The fire was the latest in a series of suspicious blazes in New York synagogues and Hebrew schools. They reached, a peak hi 1968 as a result of racial tensions generated by the New York City teachers strike.

Purdue U. Admission Policy Charged as "Barring Jews1 West Lafayette, Ind. (JTA) —Students and alumni of Purdue University charge that recent modification of the university's admission p o l i c y , which virtually barred admission of Jewish and other minority students from the New York metropolitan area has been nullified by administrative practices. An admissions policy of some 20 years' standing which restricted admissions' from the New York metropolitan area to the sons and daughters of Purdue alumni, was modified last November to govern admissions in 1970. The restriction on admissions from the metropolitan area was removed and, instead, statewide quotas were established for New York and New Jersey based on "the approximate percentage of the population of New York and New Jersey to the total population of the nation." No such restriction is applied to any other state or part of the country except the overall limit on out-of-state students to

Tel Aviv (JTA)—Seven members of the South Vietnamese Senate arrived here on an unofficial ten-day visit to see what they could "learn from Israel" that 'would benefit their own country's search for "peace and development." The group is headed by Sen. Van Don and includes among its members Mrs. Nagoyan Fouok Dai, deputy head of the Senate and a member of its labor, foreign affairs and security committees. They were met at Lydda Airport by a group of Foreign Ministry officials who denied that the visi-. tors had been Invited officially to Israel. Israel' has recognized the Saigon Government but docs not nave diplomatic relations with South Vietnam. The group described itself as a "study mission." They got their Israeli visas from the Israeli Consulate in Bangkok Thailand. They said they would visit kibbutzim and moshavim and hoped to meet with local leaders. ....-. rJ
25 per cent of the student body. Under the policy modification, 120 applicants could be admitted this year from New York and 44 from New Jersey. Rabbi Gerald Engel, director of Purdue's Hillel Foundation, wrote to alumni who had expressed concern over the university's restrictive admissions policy that the new policy "has been nullified by a special admissions procedure." Officials Deny Bias University authorities staunchly deny that its restrictive policies were intended to be discriminatory of any minority group. Letters from alumni questioning the admissions policy are being answered by. John W. Hicks, assistant to President Frederick L. Hovde, who points out that the blanket restrictions applying to the New York metropolitan area have been removed "and the director of admissions is authorized to admit a quota of students from the states of New York and New Jersey, based on their academic standing with preference still .extended to sons and daughters of Purdue alumni as In ihe past." But critical students and umni pointed out that pros
pective applicants from the two states are discouraged from filing applications. Harlan White, director of admissions, advises applicants from New York and New Jersey of the preference being given children of alumni and advises them that the few remaining places will be available to other applicants only after April 1, "This letter," Rabbi Engel told the JTA, "perpetuates the myth that children of alumni from this area have come to Purdue in large numbers. However, the Fall 1969 record of admissions to undergraduta schools from New York and surrounding counties indicates that almost no children of alumni came from this area."

Republican View Sen. Gordon Allot of Colorado, chairman of the Republican Policy Committee told the conference that he knew that President Nixon would do "everything he can. both economically and militarily to assure the security of Israel, Short of supplying manpower in the area." He added "there can be no question of any weakening of support for Israel's sovereignty, s e c u r i t y and strength by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government has no intention of permitting Israel to become militarily vulnerable. The Phantom aircraft which continue to arrive in Israel are evidence of this fact."

Dybbyk Exorcism Rite
New Vork (JTA)—A Jewish radical group here is proceeding with plans for a protest demonstration in Chicago next month in the form of a rite seeking to exercise the dybbuk which the group holds responsible for.the manner in which Federal Judge Julius Hoffman is directing the Chicago conspiracy trial. Belief in a dybbuk, which possesses the victim and causes the victim to behave wrongly, became a fixed dogma among Kabbalists in sixteenth c e n t u r y European Jewish communities. S. Ansky created a Jewish classic in his literary version of the dogma
French Leaders Assail Arms Deal With Libya Paris (JTA)—French political figures of .all complexions, including G a u l l i s t s and even sympathizers with the Arab cause, continued to denounce the Government's arms deal with Libya. The main points of their criticism was that the sale of Mirage jets and other modern military equipment to the militant lefist regime in Tripoli endangered peace and jeopardized the integrity and honor of France. Former Foreign M i n i s t e r Georges Bidault declared that "from the beginning to the end of this affair there has been deceit, double dealing and lies." The Federal Committee, a body presided over by the pro-Arab, Robert Buron, said in a published statement that French policies "can have serious consequences or world peace." The right-wing leader, Tixier Vignancourt, called France's Mideast policy "ridiculous" and Jean Lacanuet, the re-elected president of the French Centrist faction criticized it in even harsher terms. A Gaullist Deputy, Jacques Mercier, said in a speech that "the French Government's decision to sell Mirage planes to Libya and the manner in which it was reached may have serious consequences for French public opinion."

adopted the attitude that verbal assaults cannot force a change of policy. But the weekly Nouvelle Observateur warned that if Americans were unkind to President Georges Pompidou on his forthcoming visit to the United States, French national feelings would be hurt and would be transformed into antiSemitism. The paper said it would be. adviseable if "people of good will advised both Israel and the American Jews to behave well." It added, however, that "no matter what one's position is on the Palestine affair, this latest maneuver (the Libyan arms deal) makes one sick."
and it was also the basis for a successful Broadway play by Paddy Chayefsky, "The Tenth Man." The idea of exorcising Judge Hoffman's presumed dybbuk was conceived by' Arthur Waskow, of the Jews for Urban Justice, in Washington. A litur* gy for the rite, scheduled for Feb. 2 in Picasso Plaza, across from the federal courthouse where; the trial is being held, has been virtually completed by a group of members of the Jewish Radical Union at Columbia University. Sharon Rose, executive director of the National Jewish Organizing Project, an umbrella group for the Jewish activist organizations, told the JTA that, because of" some reservationsabout the idea, all of the participating Jewish a c t i v i s t groups would meet in Chicago on Feb. 1 to seek an agreement on the problem. Some of the observant Jews reportedly feel that staging of such an event—which reported* ly would be the second time the rite had been performed in the United States—would be sacr e l i g i o u s . Others have expressed concern lest the ceremony might backfire on the overall Jewish community. The exorcism ceremony is not a sanctioned Jewish ritual and the young radicals at Columbia University have worked from a variety of sources in developing the liturgy for the proposed Chicago rite.

Appeal for Help Sent By Soviet Jewish Poet
Black Columnist Tells Impressions of Israel
New York (JTA)—A Russian Yiddish poet, whose applications for permission to emigrate to Israel were repeatedly rejected by Soviet authorities, has appealed for help to a Yiddish folk singer who had better luck when she decided to leave Russia. The singer Nehama Iifshitz, made public a letter she received,, from her friend Iosif B. Kerler. Mr. Kerler, 52, was wounded while serving in the Red Army during World War II. He wrote, "I am a Yiddish poet and as such I am utterly superfluous in the Soviet Union. Surely no one can any longer deny that because of certain historical developments, there is absolutely no future for Yiddish culture here." —He- wrote-to~Miss Lifshitz
NEW YORK (JTA)—Dick Edwards, a columnist for the New York Amsterdam News, the largest Negro weekly newspaper in America, says he thought "This will be the pablum tour" when he was invited to participate with nine other black journalists in a fact-finding tour of Israel, He said he was convinced that the Israel Government issued the invitation in order to score propaganda points. •;-But in the first of a series of articles, titled "Black Man in Israel," Mr. Edwards wrote: "I am going to admit that all of my suspicions were Julied because the tour also included a session, with hostile Arabs and Arab leaders and they really showered down on the Israelis, even though we taped the session," Mr. Edwards said his group was briefed in Jerusalem by Mordechai Lador, of the American. desk of the Israel Foreign Ministry who told them that Israel was concerned over Arab efforts to influence the black community in the United States.,
that in December, 1965 he had received an emigration permit, for himself, his ailing wife Ahya and their son to join Mrs. Kerler's sister in Israel, but it was revoked without explanation a month later. He said that two subsequent petitions were denied, again without explanation. He appealed to the singer, "All we ask, dearest Nchcina, is that you help us knock on all the doors. Perhaps through you our pain, our cry of woe, will reach the highest Soviet authorities." Miss Lifshitz was permitted to leave Russia for Israel a year ago. She has become an Israeli citizen and has. just completed a concert tour of the United States.

Editorial Urges Prayer Changes Paris (JTA)—A FrenchJew* ish periodical proposed this week that the traditional prayer for the Republic, recited in synagogues on the Sabbath and the High Holidays, be altered to reflect Jewish chagrin over the French Government's antiIsrael stand. But Chief Rabbi Jacob Kaplan said he could not agree to any changes although He sympathized with the sentiments that prompted the suggestion.' According to an editorial in La Tribune Juive, the text of the prayer should read, "May France enjoy lasting peace and resume her glorious position among the nations' instead of "maintain her glorious position."

The Torch of Learning Award, bronze statuettes, sculptured by the noted artist, Chaim Cross-, has been created by the American Friends of the Hebrew University to honor leaders of American Jewish communities who have influenced the course of . higher learning in the United States and Israel. The first recipients will be honored at a presentation ceremony in the Foritalneblcau Hotel in Miami Beach on Saturday, February 21, 1970. Pictured above: from left to right: Ambassador Avraham llarman, president of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; the sculptor Clialm Gross and Mr. Seymour Fishman, executive vice president of the American Friends of the Hebrew University.
FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE-Rabbi Leo Jung/left, r e - eelves a scroll from Jack D. Weiler, Chairman of the National , Council of the Joint Distribution Committee, at the 55th Annual Meeting of the JDC in New York last month. Rabbi Jung was honored for his services on the JDC Cultural and Religious Committee for over four decades. Mr. Weiler read from the scroll: "He will long be revered for his efforts to rally support for yeshivoth in Israel, to aid Jewish education In North Africa and to help revive religious and cultural life in the rebuilt Jewish communities of Europe." -* -'-•
Israel asks of us is our money to help them survive. They can do no more," she said. "We can do no less." Omaha 'First' Elmer Gross, president of the Omaha Jewish Federation, noted that "This is the first time Omaha has had a husband and wife serving in the top two campaign positions. Charlotte and Morley have been involved in many campaigns in the past, and their combined experience, commitment and energies assure us that this important campaign is in good hands." Mrs. Zipursky, a native Omahan, began her campaign activities as a teen-ager in high school, and has been involved in campaigns every year since that time. She has served as . worker arid captain in the various Women's Divisions, and was co-chairman of the gen-

many years, and~served as cochairman of the Initial Gifts Division last year. The Executive Vice-Presidenjt of The Commodore' Corporation, Mr. Zipursky also serves as vicepresident of the Beth El Synagogue. • In discussing their plans for the current campaign, the Zipurskys recalled the sense of belonging they felt on their recent trip to Israel. . ': "Israelis are being taxed beyond belief to maintain their security," said Mr. Zipursky. "If I were an Israeli citizen I would be actively serving jn the Army for at least 60 days each year. I would be a member of the Reserves until age 55, and conceivably could be called to duty, side by side with my son and daughters who would also be counted as part, of the country's m i l l t a ty strength.

Israel Defended by Former Isolationist
Israel's foremost religious leaders attended the ceremonies marking the installation of revolving doors in the Hadassah-Hebrcw University Medical Center in Jerusalem, so that religious "cohenim" can now enter the hospital in compliance with Jewish religious law. According to Jewish religious law, no "cohen"—I.e., a member of priestly tribe of the Levites—Is allowed to enter a building In which thcrcJs a dead-body, TheHadassah-HcJbrew UniversityMedical CenterJg.a huge complex in which the hospital is united at all floor levels with the medical school. The medical school's department of pathology and anatomy work with, dead bodies. The result was that no religious cohen could enter the hospital and still comply with Jewish religious law. The crux of the problem was to seal off the air of the hospital from that of the medical school so that the two institutions would be considered separate buildings without breaking the link between them. After months of anxious thought and discussions with the Rabbinate, the Idea of revolving doors was accepted. Dr. Zcrach Warlinftlg, Israel's Minister of Religious Affairs Is shown addressing the gathering. Left to right arc: Rabbi Jacob Katzcacllenbogen, Deputy Director of the Jerusalem Rabbinical Council; Rabbi Jacob Vainstcln, the Director of the Religious Council; Chief Rabbi of Israel Issar Yehuda Untermon; and Professor Kalman J.

New York (JTA) — Former New York Congressman Hamilton Fish who was a leader in the 1930's of the isolationist movement "America F i r s t , " called upon President Nixon, Secretary-of State William P. Rogers, and Congress to preserve Israel • and recognize Its right to exist through armed defense. Fish, who was the author of the American Balfour Resolution adopted by Congress in 1922, urged support o r Israel's existence "against the o p e n and brazen efforts of Soviet . Russia to arm all one party Socialist totalitarian Arab nations for the purpose of destroying the free State of Israel." He stated that as long as Moscow seeks to dominate jhe Arab n a t i o n s " t h e United States should supply needed armaments to Israel to Tpres e r v e its independence" and added that "there is no substi tute for..freedom and it is not negotiable." Noting that he recently vislted Israel Fish declared: "Israel Is not asking for men or for volunteers but only for the right to buy armaments to defend her Independence and security until the different Arab, nations agree to definite peace terms with her."
"I could not help but identify with these fellow Jews and re-, alize how fortunate we are as Americans. That's why Charlotte and I were so pleased to be given an opportunity to be of help through our local campaign." "VVe have a strong sense of family identification," Charlotte added, "and the 1970 campaign is truly a "family affair" for us. But the campaign does not belong to-us; nor can we do the job alone. The family of Jews includes all Jews. We ask for the help of everyone."
Max A. Braude, ORT Director General, will deliver a key report at the 48th Annual National Conference of the American ORT Federation on Sunday, January 25th, at the' Americana Hotel in New York. City. Mr. Braude, who Is responsj'-. ble for the operations of 21 country technical school sysGeneva, Switzerland, will focus on the recent sweeping changes in Jewish life in North Africa, Europe, Iran and other areas of ORT programs, anj£ particularly on the role of education in the economic development and survival of Israel.
