Goldmann vs. Meir Tel Aviv (JTA) — An angry public feud has broken out between Premier Golda Meir and Dr. N a h u m Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress. It stems from the letter's aborted plan to go to C a i r o' for informal meetings with top Egyptian leaders, including President Nasser, and from political views he has expressed in recent articles accusing Mrs- Meir's government •of inflexibility in its approacli to peace with the Arabs. Meanwhile, the Cabinet was reported considering, the release of more details on contacts between Israel and the ' DESIGN FOR SCULPTURE; shown above, \,Ud. >IU grace the outdoor approach to the Albany, N.

A New Jewish Tribe? . TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Rabbi Hanahia Drey, a Sephardic rabbi, has undertaken a highly original personal mission. He combs the liberated"Arab territories for Jewish children, that is children born of Jewish mothers who have either voluntarily, or under duress, mothered Jewish offspring. According to a press report appearing in the Tel Aviv dally "Davar," the rabbi travels incessantly throughout the Arab territories with complete disregard for his personal safety. According to the same report, he has already uncovered a large number of Jewishchildren- giving' rise to the belief that,Tin""due course, their number will grow so as to practically constitute them as a new tribe of Jews, derived from Arabic parentage. It is estimated that there are thousands of such youngsters and that if one were to include those children born of women taken forceably by Arabs everywhere, from Yemen to Morocco and Algiers, tho total would amount to a small army. Will such 'Jews' be loyal to the Jewish nation? The whole premise is clouded with serious doubt. Many children of 'mixed marriages" are actually in the ranks of Arab terrorist organizations. Becently a letter from a Jewish mother in an Arab country was published in which she points with pride to the fact that her children are actively fighting Israelis. "A Gracloui Show Place"

ment to the press, said he did not want to discuss Zionism with Mrs' Meir because, "With all due. respect she has to allow me not to consider her an authority on Zionist ideology. Her qualifications are minimal." ... He accused the Premier- of stating "half truths" in her version of his plans to go, to Cairo. He said he never asked to be made a special envoy of Israel for the purpose and added that he hoped the episode would be closed!

Passover Gift Ffom El Fatah? Tel Aviv (JTA)-El Fatah, the Arab guerrilla organization, attempted to send a Passover gift parcel to the family of Shmuel Rosenwasser, of Metullah, an Israeli kidnapped by guerrillas last New Year's Eve, and held captive in Jordan. An Israeli officer at a border post refused to accept the parcel from a United Nations officer who delivered- it on behalf of El Fatah. Israelis dismiss tho gesture as a publicity stunt intended to improve El Fatah's image. The parcel contained some clothes for Rosenwasser's wife and daughter according to the newspaper . Yediot Achronot, which reported the incident.

Arab states, that have reportedly taken place since the June 1967 war. The newspaper Haaretz said some Cabinet ministers believe the government's handling of the: G o l d m a n n affair was clumsy. It is not-questioning the decision to p r e v e n t Dr. Goldmann from going to Cairo, but rather the t i m i n g and wording of the government's decision, Haaretz said. A c c o r d i n g to informed sources, Mrs, Meir was obviously stung by criticism of the way she handled, the so-called "Goldmann • Affair," and has already questioned Dr. Gdldmann's loyalty to Zionism and Israel. She told a group of Labor Party leaders that judged by his article in Foreign Affairs, Dr. Goldmann represents "the very antithesis of Zionism." Mrs. Meir drew a pointed contrast between those "who consider every inch of land dear" and others who are "indifferent to giving up a piece of land here and a piece there like cutting paper." Dr. Goldmann said that he "like everyone else," is against "retreat p r i o r to some arrangement," but that Israel's policy must become more flexible before any arrangement Justice Moslie Landau (pic- is possible.

lute the national state. A country which has 40 percent Arabs can not refer to these as a "minority," and this' becomes a bi-natiohal slate, with all the danger that thej>ercentage can be quickly reversed. What is realism? It is 'the knowledge that peace is not dependent on anything we do, reply the hawks. It was not we who declared the war, and it is not we who continue to wage it. Indeed, it is the Arabs who have reserved for themselves the decision as to whether the war shall be hot or cold. Strength will lead to peace; compromise, to illusions. And the man in the street?

The latest reliable pool reveals that 90 percent of the Jewish population is against return of any land to the Arabs withoutprior face-to-face negotiationThis is up 3 percent from a similar • poll two - years ago. And 68 percent of them are against return of Arab lands, even if the Arabs agree to direct negotiations. This' is up 10 percent from two years ago. On the other hand, in the • same poll 82 percent of the pop-' ulation would be ready to yield up some (unspecified) areas in return for a' real, b i n d i n g peace. Hawks or doves? ' '

The Dream Reborn ' It was 1948 and in a small religious kibbutz in the Judean Hills between Jerusalem and Beersheba the young settlers of Gush Etzion wired Jerusalem for the last time: "This is the end of Etzion bloc. Tonight we shall ceasetobe." The Arab legion closed in on them and 240 men, women and children—the entire teen-age and adult population were killed. The younger children, 65 of them, had been evacuated to Tel" Aviv earlier. , Among the slain was Sholom Carniel, a young Polish immigrant who had been the driving force behind the creation of Gush Etzion in 1943. His dream had been to live in peace and raise his family in Israel. He chose the strategic location which guards the southern entrance to Jerusalem because, "how can we pray three times a day for Jerusalem and then be unwilling to defend it?" But the dream of Sholom Carniel was cruelly shattered on that evening and seemed lost forever when Jordan occupied and annexed East Jerusalem and the West Bank which had been, until then, part of Israel. The dream did not die, however. It was kept alive by Sholom Carnlel's son, Simon, and other evacuated orphans of Gush Etzion. They would meet and talk and, sometimes, drive out to look across at the Judean Hills and think. , '•-.-During the Six Day War, Simon fought in the North,, and then in Sinai. When he was discharged, he and a friend raced to Etzlon. '....' • Every building except one had been totally leveled by the Jordanians and the large cultivated forest was completely cut down. Filth was everywhere, yet they walked around as if they were seeing a vision. " The next time Simon returned, it was with completed plans to resettle the area. At a high price they bought the land from the" Arabs—the same land their parents died to defend. Today, Gush Etzion the dream, has become a thriving religious kibbutz of 65 young men and women—many of whom were born there. The oldest member is 25 and they all work with a'special sense of destiny.

Sioux City, Iowa (JTA)—A cooperative effort had been instigated here by the Jewish Federation and Morningsido College of Sioux Cily to provide enrollment for Jewish youth losing admissions to colleges of their choice in metropolitan centers because of preferential admissions for ghetto students. The college is a private United Methodist run co-ed school with full time enroll-, ment of 1300-1500 students. The Federation, reporting on the program in Its current Newsletter, asserted that some of the large state universities and city colleges, "under pressure from militant minorities, have recently begun a policy of blocking out a number of admission openings for ghetto students who fail to meet gradescore q u a l i f i c a t i o n s . " The Newsletter declared that "these preferential admissions are inevitably made at the expense of Jewish students, good students who. meet grade qualifications, but whose places have been given'to others.',' The Newsletter said that there was no way to determine how many Jewish students were being affected_bj; that policy, either in Sioux *City~or', elsewhere in ther United States. —Federation—officials agreed_ that some of the bypassed J e w i s h young people, "undoubtedly-could benefit from one or more years of the kind of academhic experience offered by a small midwestern college, especially if the school is located in a medium-size city with a friendly Jewish pop-

ulation and a well-organized Jewish community." A meeting to launch the enrollment drive was attended by Dr. Thomas S. Thompson, college president; Dr. Jacob Pommrehn, admissions director; Mrs. Sid Shapiro, a faculty member, and Oscar Littlefield, Federation director, it was decided that the college should launch a campaign to recruit some of the Jewish youth and "given assurance that the Jewish community endorses the effort, Morningside College set a recruitment goal of at least 50 Jewish students." • !,

Youth activity directors at these centers are being personally c o n t a c t e d and, "wherever the numbers warrant, a representative of Mornlngside College will visit and meet with the students."

According to the Newsletter, the college needs students and "wants to diversify the ethnic and geographic make-up of its The Newsletter reported that total student body."

Providing Private School Aid By Ben Gallob A New York Jewish social service a g e n c y which has pioneered in providing comprehensive care for unwed mothers lias expanded this phase of its program with a demonstration project giving post-nataL care to sUch mothers. The post-natal program Includes a residence facility, which was opened in January by the Louise Wise Services, with a capacity of 11 residents, according to Mrs, F l o r e n c e Kreech, executive director of the agency. The experiment was developed in recognition of the fact that while social services to unmarried pregnant women— Jewish and non-Jewish—have become increasingly available, there are few such aid programs for unmarried girls after "the birth of their infants. Mrs. Kreech cited information indicating an eight percent

N.Y. Arabs Protest Existence of Israel New York (JTA—About 70 Arabs, protesting the existence of Israel and shouting "remember the massacre at Deir Yasin," demonstrated for an hour in 'front of the Israel Embassy. The group, calling itself the Committee for Arab-American Relations, chanted in Arabic and English and carried "the pre-1948 Palestinian flag. Dr. M. H. Mehdi, an Arab propagandist who lead the protesters said the demonstration was to c o m m e m o r a t e the "massacre" of 1948 in which a large number of Arabs were killed by rightwing Jewish ter rorists. The incident was condemned by the Israeli government. Dr. _Mehdi denounced Menahem Belgin as a "criminal" for having participated in the incident. "Now Bcigin is a member of the Cabinet,'' Dr. Mehdi said. "This is similar to having Adolph Eichmann as a member of the German Cab' inet:"

- Another, unidentified Arab participant in the demonstrations asserted, "We are not a g a i n s t Judaism. We arc against Zionism. Judaism is a religion and we respect that, but Zionism is a political movement which we oppose." Several members of the group held up a replica, of an Israeli flag and cut out the star in the center as a symbolic gesture to indicate a "Palestine" without Jewish "domination.'

suggested that leading Catholics urge the Vatican to establish diplomatic relations with Israel such as it has with numerous Arab and Moslem states. i The St. Louis Review, week- : )y newspaper of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, commented in an editorial later that "These do not seem to be unreasonable or excessive demands on the part of our Jewish brethren." The editorial pointed out that "Apart from traditional religious significance Israel serves to assure Jews throughout the world that there is at least one place on earth which can be their homeland and in which they can always find welcome. After centuries of persecution and the experience of the holocaust of immediate memory, the importance of this value in the State of Israel can scarcely be over-emphasized." POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

Israel Tennis Association Cancels Match With Rhodesia TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Israel Tennis Association, apparently yielding to government pressure, has cancelled its scheduled Davis Cup Tournament match with Rhodesia. The Israeli Foreign Ministry, has been urging cancellation since the International Lawn Tennis Association paired Israel with Rhodesia and ordered .the match to be held in Israel. The government announced recently that it would not admit the Rhodesian players. - Guy Hodder, secretary of the Rhodesian Lawn Tennis Association said that the Israeli cancellation was "completely nonpolitical." He said the letter of cancellation received from the Israel Tennis Association explained that the top Israeli player, Willie Davidmann, was under doctor's orders not to play for ' three months and another player has been called up for military duty. The Israelis therefore felt they could not field a strong enough side for the. Davis Cup play, Mr. Hodder said. ; Several weeks ago the Israeli Tennis Association appeared determined to go through with the match and said it would play outside Israel if necessary. It apparently had a change of mind. Israel is officially,opposed to apartheid and the racial policies of the Rhodesian government.
