The battle erupted when about 500 youths defied a police ban on political meetings in Milaa Until April 25. The' ban was imposed because of tension at the State University earlier in the week which resulted in rioting. The neo-Fascists had planned a rally which was to have been
addressed by' Sen. Ciccio Franco of the Italian Social Movement (MSI). Franco Is the political leader of the touch "Black Action" terror squads responsible for intermittarit violence in the southern city of Reggio Calabria during the past three years. The violence in Milan destroyed the claims of the MSI to be the party of law and order. For Italians, it was a new lesson in the darker^ side of the radical right, which has been growing virtually unchecked for several years.

Editor's note: During the next few weeks this column will attempt to answer any questions readers may have about TaySachs Disease and the Omaha Testing Program. Questions should be addressed to: Jewish Press, 101 North. 20th Street, Omaha, Nebraska, 68102. ' 4). How can carriers be detected? A. Carriers can be determined by simple tests on blood and urine. -Q. Where both parents are carriers, what is the risk of having a child with Tay-Sachs disease? A. There is a 25 per cent risk with each pregnancy of having a child with Tay-Sachs disease? Q. Can the disease be detected'before the baby is born? A. As early as 16 weeks of pregnancy, the disease can be detected by a test called "amniocentesis." Fetal cells from the amniotic fluid can be tested for the vital enzyme. Absence of the enzyme indicates that the unborn fetus will be a child affected with Tay-Sachs disease. ' Q. Is Tay-Sachs disease always fatal? A. Yes. Death occurs by 3 to 5 years of age. Q. Will there be a charge for the testing-service? A. The success of the Tay-Sachs testing project depends upon full participation by the, community; therefore, no charge will be levied on each person tested. However, voluntary contributions will be accepted to help defray the cost of the staff, equipment and chemical supplies needed for the project. Q. What causes Tay-Sachs Disease. A. Tay-Sachs Disease is a "storage" disease affecting young children. It is caused by the accumulation of fatty substances (sphingoliplds) in cells and tissues of the affected child. A Storage diseaso is generally caused by the absence of an enzyme which normally assists in the breakdown (digestion) of fattyjsubstarices "or other "cell products In Tay-Sachs Disease the: absent enzyme.is called hexosaminidase-<HEX A). ' . <" A child must inherit two recessive Tay-Sachs genes' (one from each parent) in order to have Tay-Sachs Disease. Individuals with only one Tay-Sachs gene (such as each of the parents of Tay-Sachs children* are known as "carriers." Carriers are complete); norrtaliafi*} healthy individuals since the disease is not expressedjptWi carrier-state.. A ;b!ood test developed in 1970 can now' determines the ^'carrier's1?' who. could fprwhice'l children with Tay-Sachs Disease. • < ,.
Many Italians suspect that the right-wing groups, with the tacit approval of the MSI, have a plan to sow disorder in Italy that would lead to the fall.of the government and the advent of a colonels' regime along Greek lines.
Israel Hotels Raise Rates Jerusalem, (JTA) — Many Israeli hotels have raised their rates by 25 per cent as a result of the recent price hiris for food, oil and water. The price rises were put into effect on the eve of the annual tourist rush that precedes the two major spring holidays Passover and Independence Day. A check of 30 hotels in Israel indicated that hotel owners hadalready imposed indirect pri V increases by abolishing special reductions for children and by raising food prices. The largest price increases were at hotels in Safed, Tiberias, Ashkelon and Natanya, usually in the modest two star and three star hotels.
NYC Public Schools Close for Passover New York, (JTA) - All New York City public schools closed for the first time this year fof the entire eight-day Passover period in a school calendar change proposed by the Association of Orthodox J e w i s h Teachers. •' Philip Kipust, president o( the teachers group, said the change will mean that rorr.o 250,000 J e w i s h children andv teachers will be able to avoid problems which might make it difficult or impossible to avoid eating leavened foods, which are forbidden during the Passover period.

What Happens to Converts? By BEN GALLOB An Orthodox rabbi" was reported that a study he made of the outcome of conversions performed by Orthodox colleagues indicates that very few of the converts remained Jews by any yardstick. The study was made by Rabbi Irwin S. .Borwick, of Lido Beach, N.Y. Rabbi Borwick posed for bis study these questions: What has happened to the converts who have entered the Jewish fold at the hands of Orthodox rabbis? Have they b e c o m e committed members of t h e Jewish community? Are they fulfilling the vows they made i n conversion to observe the totality of the commandments? ' Are their homes Jewish in the fullest sense: Do they observe the dietary laws and the laws of family purity? For the vast majority of the 822 such converts in his study, Rabbi Borwick reported, the answers to t h o s e questions - were generally negative. They were converted by 60 Orthodox
rabbis selected at random by Rabbi Borwick for interviewing. The rabbis served congregations in cities of various sizes in every geographical section of the United States and Canada. The study covered an extended time period, Rabbi Borwick reported. Fifteen of the interviewed rabbis had been in their pulpits for 30 years or longer; 25 for at least 20 years; ten for at least ten years and ten for less than ten years. Rabbi Borwick said the total of 822 converts indicated "the small percentage of conversions performed by American Orthodox rabbis. Those performed by Conservative and Reform s o u r c e s are many times this number." The majority of the converts — 599 — were.motivated by the desire to marry a Jew, the major moyvation generally reported by converts under Reform and Conservative auspices as well. Rabbi Borwick said another 133 converts were al-

There is no accurate information available regarding the total, number of teachers presently' e m p l o y e d in Jewish schools in-this country. The dearth of information is due to three main factors: 1) a large number of teachers in Jewish schools work only part time and others work in several schools simultaneously. 2) Many teachers are engaged in additional work w h i c h has - nothing to do with teac'iug. 3) There are many teachers in weekend and in Sunday schools 'who do not consider teaching . as their basic profession. The American Association ' for Jewish Education has undertaken a study of the salary scale for full-time teachers in 'Jewish schools, and to compare f;/these salaries with the salaries „ paid to qualified- teachers in ,i* public'schools. " A qualified teacher in a Jewish EChool is a graduate of an accredited Jewish Teachers' , Training School with either an V approved license, or equivalent , knowledge and professional ex,perience. A qualified teacher in a. public school is a college graduate with the minimum of , a Bachelor's degree. Full-time teaching in Jewish -all-day schools involves at '' least 20 hours per week in the . classroom, in addition to participation in extra-curricular activities which are many and , varied. Full-time teaching in Jewish afternoon schools requires at least 12 hours per week in the classroom, plus extra-curricular duties. In public schools, a full-time teacher is required to spend at least , 30 hours per week.
ber of hours required of teachers in all-day schools was 20 hours per week in classroom instruction, the survey established that most f a l l - t i m e teachers spent 30 hours per week In the classroom, irrespective Of the requirement of extra-curricular duties. In the typical Jewish afternoon school a teacher spent a median of 18 hoars per week, exclusive of extra-curricular duties. The minimum salaries in the Jewish all-day schools ranged from $3,333 to $8,400 per year; the maximum salary ranged from about $7,300 to over $13,000. The median salary for those in the minimum salary category was $6,600; for those individuals in the maximum salary category the figure was $9,500. In the public schools the median salaries were $7,000 and $11,850 respectively. In the J e w i s h afternoon schools the maximum median was $7,50O-the range being from $4,630 to $10,877. The maximum salaries paid to public school teachers were higher than those paid to Jewish afternoon school teachers. The median for Jewish teachers in the minimum category was $5700. In a number of communities, Jewish afternoon schools required fever steps to reach maximum salaries t h a n did public schools.

The rabbis said 110 converts claimed to be Sabbath observers. An additional 30 were Sabbath observers at the time of .conversion "but the rabbis "were not sure of their present status" in that respect. The data indicated that' 203 of the 822 converts reportedly kept kosher homes. The rabbis said they knew that 52 of the 203 did not keep kosher away from home. The rabbis said 98 converts observed the laws of family purity at the time of conversion but e x p r e s s e d doubts about the regularity of such observance among many converts afterwards.

Friday, April 20, 1973
One' of the real rewards of writing a column like this is the knowledge that you sit in a position of power—that your ideas reach the great reading public—that your words serve to influence the thinking andthe actions of the masses. I didn't need Vice-President Agnew to tell me about the power of the press. I have my own •pectacular record to testify to the overwhelming influence I ... Remember when I started a campaign in this c o l u m n to bring back the fat woman? In . the months that followed Weight -Watchers recorded unprecedented increases in enrollment! M. Gerelick Remember when I denounced Arthur Godfrey in this column? In the months that followed his popularity soared! And now I've done it again! Last year, after the annual meeting of the Omaha Jewish Federation, I wrote a courageous column which was somewhat critical of Federation; While the Jewish Press tries to maintain an independent editorial policy, the fact of the matter is, the Federation is the publisher, and it takes a bit of chutzpah for an employee to be critical of the boss—and in print at that. But I did it. Crusader that I am, I put my . criticisms in print along with my suggestions for iinprovements.I really believed in my power to "influence the thinking and actions of the masses." ' v Among my criticisms of last year's annual meeting were: 1") all the committee reports were made by men. I wrote: "It seems to me. that there are many capable women in the community whose talents are noLbeing used. I would hope that the Federation leadership considers this in the year to come." Result of that crusading suggestion. At this year's annual meeting the 8 people at the speak* er's table were all male! ; •; : • • 2) Last year I was very critical of the method of electing members to the Executive Committee. I noted that nominations made from the floor were not representative of the entire community; that more attention should be paid to the qualifications of members of the board and that a better way should be devised for the elec• tion.

Here my success was w e n more spectacular. The election this year was held in the same way as last year, with nominations from the floor. Last year, however, 14 nominations were made from the floor and there was an indication that gome pre-thinblng had been done before the nominations were made. This year only 9 nominations were made and I had the feeling that many

were spur of the moment suggestions. There really has to be a better way. Now for a few observations about this year's meeting. (Listen—when you sit in a powerful position of influence like I do, you have to continue to influence.) v I know the difficulties of scheduling meetings, but surely a better time could have been picked than the night before the first seder. The timing of the meeting immediately excluded any number of women who would have come if not faced with the pressing kitchen chores of the night before Passover. Observation 2. Once again, in deference to the 20-40 age gr.oup who objected to the expense of a dinner meeting, the dinner portion of the meeting was dropped. Once again, in spite of this concession, very few of that age group were present at the meeting. • Observation 3. Federation leadership can't be blamed for everything. Critical as I am about the way members are elected to the Executive Committee, It Is the easiest way for the vocal "anti-establishment" members of the community to get-into positions of power. But where were they? I'm really very tired of hearing people say that only the elite "can get on the Federation board. It just isn't true. With a little organized effort, anyone could have been elected to the board last Sunday. So those who didn't snow up last Sunday to have a voice in the elections really have no grounds to complain. And some very positive observations. Last year there were serious doubts voiced that the money could be raised for the new. Jewish Community Center, and that the dream of a new Center would have to remain a dream. Sunday night we heard Dan Katzman tell us that not only *as the raoneybelng raised as expected, but that nest year the annual meeting would be held in the new building! Last year Chuck Monasee announced that new additions to the JCC staff were being considered. •••-••. Sunday evening four of those new staff members were introduced. It seems that in spite of all the mistakes we make; in spite of all the criticisms; we have what it takes to move this Jewish community ; forward. ' Just think what great strides we could make If everyone would realize the power of the press and act on all the profound suggestions I make. It will be interesting to see what observations I make about the Federation annual meeting next year—that is if I'm still editor next year, after this column. Justin case, does anyone have a Job for an aspiring crusader?

Editorial "A Musical Tribute to the State of Israel" tomorrow night at Joslyn Museum Witherspoon Hall launches the three weeks of concluding activities in Omaha's year-long observance of tho 25th anniversary of the State of Israel. It will be an exciting evening with a number of gifted guest artists participating, along with 25 local Jewish teens.who will open the program with a candle lighting ceremony. Many hours have been spent in the planning of this special musical evening which is open to the public'at no charge. • The use of Joslyn's facilities and the participation of noted symphony artists represents community-wide recognition not only of Israel's 25th anniversary, but of Omaha Jewry's identification with the event. In a way, the concert tomorrow evening will honor us as well as Israel. As honorees, we should be there in large numbers. A capacity attendance is expected, and while there is no ad* mission charge, reservations must be made. We urge all who have not yet done so to contact Mmes. Justin' Manvifaj Walter Rosenberg or Ramon Pred for tickets. It will be.a delightful evening, »arid an important one for Omaha Jewry. You should be there.

EVADING QUOTAS "< Princeton, has always maintained a rather stringent admissions quota on Jewish students. While it's pretty hard to avoid the quota if your' name or high school is identifiably Jewish, the following guide-lines might help some students evade the quota system: 1. Don't have an, interview with an alumnus or a member of the admissions office staff. They are not mandatory and can only hurt you. In the Admissions Office Report to tha President for 1940, Admissions I *< Director Radcliffe Heermance 7 noted that ten Jews had been admitted, "seven of which ad- ~ mit being Jews." He wouldn't have known that the three students who did not say they were Jewish were Jews if they had not had interviews. Aliimni reports often mark whether or not the applicant is Jewish." ' 2. Until this year Princeton's application form asked for the national origin of applicants' parents. After a protest from the American Jewish Congress (Associated Press, October 28, 1972) the Admissions Office &&• cided to end the origin questions and will substitute instead questions concerning languages . spoken in the applicant's home. Don't say Yiddish or Hebrew is spoken in your home. 3. Don't list identifiably Jewish extra-curricular activities (e.g., Synagogue youth group, -Hebrew school) unless they were of great importance and you have no other activities to talk about. 4.

COPENHAGEN (ZINS) — "Three out of four Danish Jews take non-Jewish mates," reports' a young Jewish Danish sociologist, Jacques Blum, in a book which has just been published in Copenhagen. Acording to this study, there were 5,499 Jews in Denmark 3 years ago. Since then, the Jewish population has . been augmented by 3,500 refugees from Poland, of whom only 1,800 have expressed a desire to be part of the organized Jewish community of Denmark. Until recently, writes Mr. Blum, 57 percent of all marr i e d Jews had non-Jewish spouses, but recently that percentage has risen to 75 per cent.

The 70,000 immigrants to Israel this year will find a country still striving for peace. The people of Israel live surrounded by hostile neighbors—enemies capable of the massacres at Lod {...at Munich. But the 70,000 inimigrants to Israel this year will find a land where their children can grow up in dignity. A land where they can live as Jews. Many, like the Soviet Jews, have suffered, have sacrificed, have waited ears. Now they come seeka new life. 'O/we can't give them peace. But. we can honor the** courage. We canprovide for their basic human needs—housing, education, job training, health care. We must help them as they build new lives . . . as they claim their heritage. We must let the new iramigrants know that they da not stand alone. , We can give them that* .peace of mind.

We observe every Passover and the freedom it commemorates with Ipve and concern for all Jews in need. This year thousands of Soviet Jews will experience the joy of their first Passover in freedom—in Israel. But freedom from, , tyranny is not enough; they must also be free from the fears of want. . _ " This Passover, we must solve the problems of unmet human needs. Needs that can only be met by an inflow of cash. To alleviate overcrowded and inadequate housing... to offer educational opportunity... to teach a new language and new skills, . . .
