Jewish Youths Protest Honor for Police Official P h i l a d e l p h i a (JTA)—The Philadelphia Histadrut Committee was embroiled in a bitter controversy following its $50-a-plate dinner honoring Police. Commissioner Frank Rizzo and Mrs. Rizzo. While some 1200 Histadrut guests heard Mr. Rizzo hailed as a civic leader and staunch friend of Israel, an estimated 200 youths demonstrated outside the Bellev ue-Stratford Hotel, accusing the Commissioner of oppressing blacks and other minorities.. . The demonstrators included <a radical Jewish group known as, Na'aseh and -members of Habonim and Hashomer Ilat-
zair. Labor Zionist youth movements. A separate contingent of protestors; included black militants and supporters of El Fatah, the Palestinian guerrilla organization. A cpunter demonstration was staged across the street by members of the militant Jewish Defense League who claimed -that since Rizzo had been honored by o t h e r groups there was no reason to single out a Jewish affair for picketing. Some of the Jewish, pro-Israel youths carried signs reading, "Labor Zionism is Not Equal to Police Staleism." "Israel Yes, R i z z o ' No," and "Jews live By Isaiah's Laws, Not Rizzo's".
AJ Committee Supports Intergroup Relations Journal
Yehoshua Levy, Treasurer of Histadrut in Israel said that Histadrut campaign functions are selected by local committees without prior consultation with Histadrut in Israel which is not responsible for local selections. A Histadrut spokesman said that the Philadelphia Committee had checked beforehand with local trade unionists and civic leaders and their concensus was that Mr. IUzzo fully deserved to be honored. He said thai a number of black leaders attended the testimonial dinner and noted that the benediction was recited by a black Baptist minister. The Philadclpliia dinner was intended to raise funds to build a "Frank and Carmella Rizzo Youth Center" in Israel. A Histadrut spokesman conceded that Mr. Rizzo was a controversial figure because he used "tough" methods against black m i l i t a n t s and other groups. He claimed, however, that despite such tactics the Commissioner avoided bloodshed and "kept Uie city cool." He said that Mr. Rizzo, who Mayor James H. J.

Toronto (JTA)—The American Jew, despite all his success, is "still in danger" from prejudice and hate, black civil rights leader. Dr. Ralph Abernathy told a capacity audience at the Holy Blossom Temple here. Dr. Abernathy, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and successor to the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said the Jew's thread of security was "very thin indeed.", Dr. Abernathy told the audience: "Today in America, the'black man is the Jew in Egypt." During the early years of the American Civil rights movement, he said, Jews and blacks had been close allies and that relationship continued todajrddspito~Urase~detract6rtf who would turn the two groups against each other. According to the civil rights leader, the prejudice some blacks harbour against J e w s was-not nearly-as widespread as some would make out. "Blacks should.not forget that Jews are our-closest allies," concluded Rev.: Abernathy.

Mr. Salkind's^iews were disputed by Mik'e M a s c h, a spokesman for Na'aseh, the "Radical Jewish Fellowship for Action." Mr. Masch, who described his group as committed to Jewish a f f ai r s and strongly pro-Israel though nonZionist, said that it took part in the demonstrations as a constituent of the Coalition of Organizations for Philadelphia
Police Accountability and Rcsponsiblity (Coppar). He said that C o p p a r represented a broad spectrum of-Philadelphianferanging from the militant Black Panthers and Young Lords to such groups as the American Civil Liberties Union. According to Mr. Masch, Commissioner Rizzo ordered police to employ v i o l e n c e against Black Panthers and other unpopular groups and has publicly denounced even nonmilitant civil libertarian organizations, He noted that Commissioner Rizzo and his department arc under a temporary restraining order issued by the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia t;njoining them from infringing upon the constitutional rights of certain black and white minority groups. He said the order was the result of a suit brought by Coppar against Mr. Rizzo and the Philadelphia police department:

Salkind, chairman of the Pennsylvania Histadrut Council, the youths who d e m o n s t r a t e d against Rizzo were "disgruntled Communist hippies." He said that only "the lower class elements," white and black, were against the testimonial dinner. He insisted that the demonstrators were really opposed to the dinner because "the money is going for Israel, not the Arabs."

Christinas Guidelines !
The American Jewish Congress thsl week distributed to : community relations councils and group relations agencies the recommendation of the Long Island Interfaith Council that "no religious celebrations . . . bo held in the public schools during the Christmas; Chanukah season, the Easter: Passover season, or other religious holidays." They urged that the public —schools bo kept "religiously neutral" and said religious neutrality meant "not only that the school.should show no preference for one religion over another, but also that it should.rc- frain from the .promotion of any and all.religions." T h o "Guidelines" defined .."religious celebration" as: . "1) A worship or religious ! service of any kind. — "2) Religious exhibits or dis• plays, "3) Tho presentation of religious music. Tho guidelines — which last year were sent by the Inter-' faith Council to the administrative heads of each of the
110 public school districts in Nassau and Suffolk—also took the position that "the substitution of the 'winter season' celebration for a religious observance is a profanation and secularization of what truly is a period of religious signifi-* canco for Christians and Jews." The guidelines declared that "it is the responsibility of the public schools to teach mutual understanding, brotherhood and respect for group differencesracial and religious." However, the statement added, "such teaching should be objective, should ayoid any doctrinal impact and avoid any implications that religious doctrines from which holidays flow have tho support of state authority."

ed an opportunity lo move his family to Israel, bag and baggage, and help build the oldnew land, he decided that this was the moment he had been waiting for. Despite the protestations of friends and family that he had taken leave of his senses, he, his wife, her mother, three children and a dog set sail for the Holy Land, filled with great expectations for their leap into the unknown. This is the hilarious, true story of what really happened to the Shermans, as they adjusted and adapted to a way of life that is uniquely different from the suburban environment to which they had bade farewell. For every American who feels thathe would just like to get up and move to^some other place, and start all over again. IMPALED ON A CACTUS BUSH is a must reading. Arnold Sherman was born in Brooklyn in 1932 under the shadow of the Coney Island Ferris wheel. Since marketing his first story at the age of 17, he has authored several hundred articles and short stories on a variety of subjects and themes. He worked as an editor, journalist, longshoreman and private detective. He is curr e n t l y company spokesman and head of EL AL public relations in Israel.
. Omaha — Gary Kinstlinger, Central High School senior and president of the Midwest Struggle for Soviet Jewry, spoke on the subject of Soviet Jewry at a meeting this week of the board of the Anti-Defamation League. Young Kinstlinger noted that "if injustice cannot be condoned in Selma, U.S.A., neither can it be overlooked in Kiev, USSR. Our people there are being destroyed," he said, "through a systematic attempt to make Jewishness in any form hateful and dangerous to the Jew. We dare not remain silent." Kinstlinger noted that pleading in soft tones lias been to no avail and .that recent efforts at protest have brought results.

LETTER FOR ROGERS Washington (JTA)—A bipartisan group of 67 members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to Secretary of State William P. Rogers urging the State Department to confirm lmmedatcly the U.S. citizenship of Leonid Rigerman, a 30-year-old Soviet Jew. Mr. Rigerman was seized by police on the U.S. Embassy steps in Moscow two weeks ago after he filed an application for American citizenship. He was charged with resisting an officer and spent seven days in jail. He was reportedly freed last Wednesday but sources here believe he is in imminent danger of long-term punishment for his attempts to establish American citizenship in order to leave the country. Mr. Rigerman has based his citizenship application on the /act that his mother is American-born arid his father is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He was born in Russia. ' ' The letter to Mr. Rogers was released by Rep. James H. Scheuer, New York Democrat. In^an ^accompanying statement, Mr. Scheuer said: "It is becoming perfectly clear that the Soviet Union is using its international anti-Israel position as a pretext to step up active anti-Semitism within the Soviet Union." The Congressman contended that "the case of Mr. Rigerman is only a single example ofwhaHs happening to Jews in theSoviet
Union. While there are limits to what our government can appropriately do to counteract Soviet anti-Semitism, here is one case where immediate Slate Department action can help one human being." AID-REFUSED Tel Aviv (JTA)—Cartons of drugs and food for victinjs of the floods that devastated parts of Colombia, were shipped there by air on Friday. The aid was provided by the Mogen David Adorn, Israel's official Red Cross Agency. Another shipment of medicines and first aid for Pakistani victims was also being prepared by the Mogen David Adorn, when the International Red Cross notified them that the Pakistani authorities were refusing any help from Israel. . . NDP LOSES ELECTION Bonn (JTA)—The radical right-wing National Democratic Party lost all 15 of its seats in the Bavarian State parliament. The party, widely regarded as neo-Nazi, polled only three.percent. of the total vote compared to the 7.4 percent it won in the last elections. According to West German law a party must poll at least five percent of the total vote to be seated in the state or federal parliaments.
