Radio Station Israeli Mayors in USSR Loses License Subjected to Indignities JERUSALEM (JTA)—A delegation of Israeli mayors who attended the Congress of the International Federation of Twin Cities la Leningrad last week reported that some of them were stripped naked by Soviet authorities who searched tlieir persons and tlieir baggage before they were permitted to leave the Soviet Union. A member of the delegation, Eiiahu Speiser of Tel Aviv, reported the worst indignity was suffered at Leningrad Airport. "Some of us were stripped naked," Mr. Speiser said. "They searched our attache cases and the bottoms of our suitcases. They seemed to be looking for books and other written material. For a while we thought their intention was to prevent our departure from Russia altogether. It was only after an hour's search that they stamped our passports and let .us go," he said. According to Mr. Speiser's report, the only redeeming aspect of their trip to Russia was the mayors' attendance at Saturday morning services at the Leningrad Synagogue where their presence caused "great excitement."

dated June 8, C o l o n e l C.P. Benedict, chief of the Army's Personnel Services Division, defended the Easter message on the ground that the same commander Iiad also distributed a Passover message. The Passover message drew a "parallel" between the deliverance of the Jewish people from "the slavery of the evil Egyptian Pharoah" and "your current lives where you and your government are engaged in a struggle to assist a nation of people in its deliverance from an equally evil force." Although the*AJCongress was unaware of the Passover message at the time of its protest on the Easter message, Mr. Soil wrote Colonel Benedict in a letter dated June 17 that such a message was equally objectionable. "The messages, no matter how well intended, were an attempt to 'employ religion as an engine of civil policy.' In both aspects, they were violative of the c o m m a n d of the First Amendment," he said.• .. HELEN A . BERNSTEIN 393-9111

That charge was first made In 1966 by local clergymen opposing the programming practices of the station's licensee, , the Faith Theological Seminarjr.'The outlet regularly broadcast commentaries by the seminary's right-wing president, the Rev.

Jewish free University To Open in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, (JTA)—A Jewish Free University, offering study groups in subjects of Jewish interest will open here this fall, according to an announcement by Stephen R. Goldstein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania and Consultant on "Jewish Communal Affairs to the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Jewish Committee. The study groups, which will be open to college students and the general public in the area, will be taught by professors from Temple, Drexel, Lincoln, Villanova and Pennsylvania Universities, as well as by faculty members of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and the Wellsprings Ecumenical Institute and some graduate students. • Mr. Goldstein declared, the project as "an opportunity for college students, other interested Philadelphians and some of the best minds in the Jewish academic community to explore the many facets of the Jewish experience that combine to form the Jewish people and determine their role in society today." "The formation of a Jewish Free University hinges on the belief that there is a reservoir of interest in a wide range of Jewish studies among many
students, including those ordinarily labeled as uncommitted, that could be tapped by high level study groups conducted by faculty m e m b e r s whom they respect for their work in secular fields," Mr. Goldstein said. The p r o j e c t e d study groups, Mr. Goldstein noted, "could enrich the Jewish. Jifa of both participating faculty and students," and at the same time," the participating faculty would become visible as affirmative Jewish models for an even larger group of students and colleagues."
Charges Dropped Against JDL Leader Philadelphia (JTA) — Rabbi Harold Novoseller, head of the local Jewish Defense League, has .vowed that his grouptwill continue its efforts "to obtain law and order in the schools of Philadelphia." His statement was issued after charges of disorderly conduct against him and four adults were dismissed several days ago by Municipal Court Judge John P. Poserina. The charges against the five adults and four juveniles followed a demonstration they staged June 15 in the Leeds Junior High School offices. The case of the four youths is still pending in juvenile court here.

man army rolled t h r o u g h Lithuania and turned the courtyard and Mapu Street and the city of Kovno into an arena of horror. This is a novel of children caught up in the welter of blood and destruction of the Second World War. It is a magnificent novel, told with quiet yet powerful eloquence. It is intended for young teenagers— but it can be read and appreciated by people of all ages. For the story it tells creates a truth that is profounder and more meaningful than mere reality.

Israel's "Jewish1 Enemies One Jew and three converts from Judaism are seemingly competing for the dubious honor of being Israel's Enemy Number One. The culprits are passionate disciples of the French weapons embargo on Israel, and supporters of .the Arab arms deal. They are Michael Debre, grandchild of a famous rabbi, adopting a holier-than-the-Pope stance in respect of Pompidou's antiIsrael policies. Then there is Maurice Schumann, Minister of Foreign Affairs. At one time Schumann made some vague promise that he would attempt to mitigate the severity of the French embargo against -Israel. It now appears, however, that Schumann is trying to outdo Debre In demonstrating that he is an even greater foe of Zionism. The converted Marcel Dessault (whose real name is Block), owner of the aircraft factory where he enjoys enormous personal power over this vast industrial empire, was converted to Christianity as a youth. The fourth who has as yet not converted, is Leon Haman (familiar name), Minister of Information in Pompidou's regime. He has the reputation of having a "talmudical mind"-and is an acknowledged expert in all aspects of the embargo against Israel. He is said to derive diabolical pleasure from making a new point •which will sharpen the weapons-embargo against the Jewish state. . Some of our best friends may be Jews—so are some of our wont enemies!

The Price is High By CAUL ALPERT Haifa — Each tourist and visitor to Israel-has noted the instinctive and spontaneous manner in which I s r a e l i s s w i t c h on the radio to h e a r the latest news broadcas t s t h r o u g h the day. Border incidents are taken for granted; what the Israeli wants to know is the price. The phrase, "All our - , planes returned CftrI safely to base" is invariably greeted with a silent prayer of thanks. The report of casualties is received with gloom. And the casualty lists do grow from day to day. Sometimes they tell of women and children killed by terrorist! in
their homes. Sometimes they record the names of young men, soldiers on the border battlefields. They are sober, constant reminders to Israel that we are in a state of perpetual war. There are other indications: Advertisements in the press, quietly and without panic, advise the public to stock up on emergency food supplies. It's good policy to have a supply of • basic foods at home, the ads say, in case of flood, storm, fire transport difficulties,, illness—or even unexpected company. The message is not lost on the housewife. Israel earnestly, eagerly desires peace, but with serious application is preparing for the new war upon which our neighbors seem intent. Civil defense has been tightened up, staff increased, budgets boosted. Con-

Sidelines Last week my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.

Archaic institution indeed! My 25 years of marriage represented more than half of my 44 years of life. If my life was not worthy' of praise, neither did it warrant ridicule.

As in all generations, there are things the younger generation has a right to expect from ns. We owe them love, protection to a point, and respect when they earn it. We do not owe them slavish obedience to •their demands or apologies for our mistakes. Every generation makes mistakes and my generation has made its share. But my generation has also-made this country the most affluent on earth. It Is by the sweat of our brows that our children have the means to take off to the hills ;to mediate—in costly sports cars provided by us.

By Mickey Gcrelick slow, but man has survived. Impatient youth would numb the pain with drugs at the risk of unknown damage to themselves and future generations. I cannot be expected to support this irresponsibility. Without the idealism of youth there can foe no change, no progress. I will support all efforts of the new generation to change society, but I will not tolerate their efforts to destroy it. While admitting the mistakes of, my generation, I will not concede that all our efforts, all our values are meaningless. It is my generation that put a Catholic in the White House for the first time in history, conquered Polio and desegregated schools. Regrettably, my gener-. ation has not found the answer to war, cancer and the ills of society that resulted in the assassination of the country's first Catholic President. If w_e leave the next generation the frustrations of our failures, we also leave the fruits of our successes. This has been the history of mankind. It has also been the history of mankind that the destruction of the family ultimately leads to the destruction of civilization. Basic to the family is the mating of man and woman in marriage. The oldest of our social institutions, marriage is something more than that. It is more than a biological mating; more than an economic partnership; more than a legal entity. According to , Judaism, "marriage is a consecration, a sanctifieation of life, resting upon morals as well as upon mores." These values are not archaic, nor can they be replaced by the sensuous pleasures of fleeting relationships. It is time that youth recognize that in part we are responsible for what they are. Inept as we are, we produced them and nurtured them in a family setting. Genetically and environmentally we have helped shape the ideals they hold dear. Youth has the responsibility to rebel at our faults, and an equal responsibility to respect our virtues. And youth must accept that we have the responsibility to treat them, in the same way. Which ends my sermon, with just one word of advice to my young friend. Next year, just say, "Happy Anniversary." CALL JA9UEUNE LANDMAH Gu|(ar Vocalist .
