Tito Letter.f or Golda? VIENNA (JTA)—President Tito of Yugoslavia may give West German Chancellor Willy Brandt a personal and private letter to take to Israeli Premier Golda Meir when he visits Israel soon, sources close to Brandt said here. The sources said the Middle East conflict was a major topic in the two days of private discussions last week Brandt was having with Tito on the President's private Adriatic island. Tito, who has been proposed as a candidate for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, met Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in Yugoslavia in January and promised him full support in finding a solution to the Mideast crisis. The sources would not speculate on the contents of Tito's letter to Mrs. Meir.

She characterized the Arkansas Democrat, who. is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as "a man who hasn't slept nights for years because under American law part of the United Jewish Appeal funds are fre6 of income tax." Mrs. Meir said the FulbrighL, "has been searching for years" for some loophole to void the tax exemption of UJA contributions. "Ma,ybe one day he'll find.something," she said. She recalled that when Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Joseph J. Sisco testified before Fulbright's committee, the senator asked: "It doesn't worry you that so much money flows to Israel?" Mrs. Meir said, "Money Is flowing from government loans under-American law so why is he so worried." Fulbright maintained in his* television remarks that Congressional subservience to Is-' rael prevented the Administration from exerting the leverage on Jerusalem that it had because "we supply a major part of the wherewithal to finance or pay for everything that Is-" rael does."

THE JEWISH
Frtd»y, April 37,
,
By Rabbi Jay Goldberg
.
Editor's Note: The following excerpts are from an Open Letter written by Rabbi Goldberg which appeared in the B'Nai Jeshurun Bulletin. • • • On Monday, March 19th, the Federation planning committee convened its first open forum to discuss the donation of land by the Bookey Family. - The meeting was touted as an open hearing in the highest democratic tradition. While at the meeting I learned that the Executive Board r Federation 'had already passed a resolution directing the planning committee to ascertain what type of structure should be erected on the land. In the same democratic spirit the Federation requested various persons (myself included) to adumbrate the values that should emanate from a new center and recommend specialists who would come to our community to help formulate proposal!) for a structure; The Monday night meeting and prior steps of planning are clear examples of Dr. Jacob Neusncr's critique of the undemocratic nature of the Jewish Welfare Federation: "In comparison with industry, the Jewish Federations come out a-poor second, even with respect to the superficial aspects of democratic procedures. By law, shareholders In industry have opportunities to ' vote on policy and administrative matters, at least by proxy. In Jewish Federations there is no election in which the shareholders have a voice with respect to the selection of leadership, the approval of policy, or the c h o i c e of alternatives. There Is not even a poll of sentiment with respect to actions taken. This means, In fact, that there is no accountability of the leadership to the contributors,. to the Federation's constituency." During the meeting I quoted Dr. Neusner and suggested that the Federation had already violated democratic procedure by making the tacit, premature •and presumptuous decision to erect a structure on the donated property. I contend that a vote of the Des Moines Jewish Community should have been taken (by mail or phone) to ascertain whether or not our families want to place a structure on the

I s h o u l d be I p l e a s e d , but there's s o m e - ) tiling very deflating in being] Ignored. It's as I If the p o w e r s ] that r u l e the M. Gerellck * Federation put little stock In my ability to influence the masses (and I had to go remind them about God• frey.) Worse yet, there's even ' the possibility that they didn't . read the column. That really hurts. I guess the incredible disclosures in the Watergate case this week have made me particularly., sensitive to the importance of a free press and the fight of the people to be critical about the actions of their leaders. t I'm not s u g g e s t i n g that there's a Watergate type scandal being hidden by Federa- tion leadership. (What phone could they bug? The Mikvah? ' Is there even a phone in the Mikvali?) And there's no one in Mikvah?) So really, the Wash• ington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein had a better chance at being crusaders than I did. From the earliest days of the Nixon administration, attempts' have been made to stifle the . workings of a free press. That, * perhaps, Is the most frightening aspect of the whole Watergate business. The latest and most disturbing move to shroud government actions in secrecy is buried in the Administration's 336 page>proposal revising the U. S. Crimina] Code. According to. Senator Alan Cranston, "The proposal would, in effect, bring down an execii, tive Iron Curtain on all U.S. government activities that touch on national defense and fore'gn affairs. The proposals '' would sanction the classification of government documents by s o m e 20,000 bureaucrats. And it would become a. felon, punishable by. a fine up to $50,"000 and 7 years in prison, to

disclose or communicate actions of the government to the public without permission from the Administration." "In short," Cranston said, "Ihe Administration's proposal would shelter those who hide incompetence, cover-up waste, bury corruption and peddle improper influence. And anyone inside the government who blew the whistle on them would become a criminal." Cranston points out some of the m a n y other efforts of the N i x o n Administration to stifle information. •Strong opposition to Congressional attempts to pass a shield law allowing newsmen to protect their confidential news sources. . •Continual broadening of executive privilege to a point that recently Attorney General Richard Kleindienst declared that the President has the right to keep any of the 2,500,000 gov-. eminent employees from testifying before Congress. • Resorting to legal action, to restrain newspapers from publishing excerpts from the Pentagon Papers—the first effort at 'prior restraint' in modern times. . • Warnings by C l a y Whitehead, the President's director of telecommunications, that local stations are .responsible for 'balance' in network news and may lose their license if they do not take steps to insure that bias is kept out of network news. The Administration, of course, would define what con-
stitutes 'bias' and 'balance.' • Persistent attacks by VicePresident Agnew on the news media. • • Suggestions by v a r i o u s White House officials to ne^ work executives t h a t certain newsmen be removed f r o m their jobs. •
*
*
•
Whatever f e e l i n g s I have about the Nixon administration and/or the Watergate case are insignificant in comparison to the real fear I have about these dangerous efforts to stifle information. , I really believe that a responsible, free press is absolutely essential to the workings of democratic government; and if the press is' muzzled; democracy is in real danger. The people have a right to know the uses and abuses of power on the part of their leaders. And if nothing else comes out of Watergate, I hope that the public is alterfed to and will fight these attempts to infringe on the basic right of the people "to know." I'm really in awe of the newsmen .who brought the Watergate case to light in spite of the efforts to silence them. Obviously, I'm not in the same league with these, journalists; I can accept the fact that the Mikvah doesn't offer the same possibilities as Watergate. But it really hurts when even my meager attempt at criticism is ignored. I guess I'm never going to make it as a crusader.
A Day of Remembrance
A BETTER WAY I take issue with Arthur Cooper's suggestions for "evading" the "rather stringent ad- missions quota on Jewish students" at Princeton University (Jewish Press, April 20, 1973). Hiding one's Jewishness, even and especially to gain, admission to such a prestigious university, is not only dishonest, but degrading. I fail to understand how any self-respecting Jewish student would want to attend a university where concealing one's heritage facilitates admission. It would seem more sensible for Jewish organizations and students now attending Princeton to confront the issue head-, on and discuss it directly with .officials of the Princeton admissions office. Better yet, try Harvard or. Yale! . Mrs. H. Lee (Carol) Gendler

An Open Letter to the Jewish Commiiiilty It was good to see almost 1,000 members of our community gathered at the Joslyn Art Museum Witherspoon Hall Saturday night to honor Israel in a Musical Tribute to the 25th Anniversary. m Praise is due to the talented artists in the Shir Ensemble from Chicago ' and especially to the five members of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra who so graciously formed a quintet especially for our concert and gave so generously of their talents. To the Krasnapolskys, father and son; to Myron Cohen, Helen Bell and Marilyn O'Boyle, our special gratitude and appreciation for their rendition.of the beautiful "Trout" quintet by Schubert. Praise and appreciation is also due to Mrs. Donald Sturm, chairman of the evening, and her ticket committee; Mmes. Justin Manvitz, Ramon Pred
and Walter Rosenberg; to Diane Zipursky who so capably organized the young people for the impressive candlelighting ceremony that opened the evening's program (pictured above); to Mark Zalkin, Cultural Arts Director of the Jewish Press and Center Staff for their outstanding cooperation. It is an honor to serve as co-chairman of the 25th.Anniversary of the State of Israel for a community that accepts and reacts so warmly to our efforts. We look forward: to seeing many hundreds of our people also at the Sunday evening Yom Hashoah Day of Remembrance tribute to the Six, Million and to the heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising at 7:30 p.m. at Beth Israel synagogue. - x ' - • • ' . - * Mrs. Philip Grad and Mrs. Morris C.

they are a part of u9. But that Is not enough, for It is possible In years to come that we could be in their shoes. Think about it, today's world is not above inhumane doings. We still kill heartlessly. Wo are never safe from outside influences. We should link ourselves together as a strong chain-that cannot be broken by one man's will. * When we say we arc American first and Jewish second we are terribly wrong. For-we are Jews and no matter what we say and do we can never lose this identity. We can never become so caught up in today's society that we ' forget tbat horrible past. Close your eyes and envision a cold, barren, 1 German landscape. Smell the stench of death and feel the terror of doom in your heart. Then think how you would want the world to react to your plight. With apathy, saying that that • could never happen to me? No, you would want something better. You would hope to G-d that they realize what Is really happening and that they do not close their eyes to the. problem as they did thirty years ago. You would pray that they would learn from your death. For today that is exactly our attitude. We rather forget than carry a heavy burden in .onr hearts.
