New JCO Uhrarian Begins Reorganization of Library Omaha—The recent appointment of Mrs. Martin Wolf as Librarian for the Jewish Community C e n t e r Library has been announced by M o r r i s Hoffman, Chairman of the Li. brary Committee. " . ' Hoffman termed Mrs. Wolf's appointment "a real high spot ' In the year, because she is not ;.pnly qualified as a librarian, - but is also familiar with Judaic Libraries. She is precisely what we were looking for, and we ; are fortunate to have her in Omaha." Martin and Edythe ' moved to Omaha when Dr. Wolf was appointed vice-presi, dent of Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Jowa. Mrs. Wolf is the first professional librarian to be hired for that position at the Center. She previously served as"Ii» brarian for the Michigan State . University acquisitions depart. ment and the Temple B'nai Israel Synagogue Library in SagInaw, Michigan. A native of Philadelphia, Mrs. Wolf attended Temple University in Philadelphia and received her Masters Degree in Library Sci- enco from Columbia University in New York. . - Hoffman said that "part of the rationale behind appoint-

ing a professional librarian was the real need for classifying and cataloging the Library. As far as the collection is concerned, the Omaha Jewish Community Center -Library is nationally unique, but it has never been adequately classified or catalogued. Mrs. Wolf's job is to prepare for the move vto the new Jewish Community Center. Mr. Ted Newman, of the Omaha Public Library, has estimated this to be a 2-year job." * ~ Library Closed for Summer "Although a very good start has been made," Mr. Hoffman said, "the Library Is now closed and will remain closed until. August 15 in order to proceed with the cataloging." Out of an estimated 15,000 books in the Library, 1,100 volumes have already, been catalogued. The Weine Classification System, a modification of the Dewey Decimal System specfically for Judaic Libraries, is being used. Mrs. Wolf said the Omaha JCC Library is "undoubtedly one of the finest collections of Judaic literature in the country. We have excellent collections on comparative religion, Jerusalem, Israeli Art, Biblical Att, and many more topics."

Community Aid Urged to "Save1 Jewish Day Schools New York (JTA)-Two leaders of Orthodox Jewry have called on the American Jewish ' community for " a massive ef-

. fort to raise millions of dollars to save and expand the Jewish day schools." Rabbi Louis Bernstein, president of the Rabbinical Council of America and Rabbi Fabian Schoenfeld, first vice president, directed their plea primarily at Jewish federations and welfare funds which were urged to "reorder their priorities in the light of the recent Supreme • Court decision outlawing all forms of governmental aid to schools under religious auspices." The - rabbinic leaders said that secular Jewish agencies and federations were prime movers in the legal contest that r e s u l t e d in the Supreme Court's June 25 ruling which declared unconstitutional all ^substanial forms of state aid for non-public schools.;

"You have won the fight," Rabbis Bernstein and Schoenfeld said in a statement. "You . are now challenged to produce from within the Jewish comm u n i t y the necessary resources to assure the continued existence of these schools." The rabbis warned that "Only positive intensive Jewish education can cope with the increased incidence of assimilation and intermarriage. Only they can safeguard the future of a viable Jewish community. If they fail, there will be no secular agencies; there will be no federations and there will be no meaningful Jewish life." According to the Rabbinical Council leaders there are some 420 Jewish day schools in the U.S. with an enrollment of 100,000. But they said, "the inability of more and more parents to meet the i n c r e a s e d costs of tuition have brought the day school movement to a critical stage. Unless commu-

Resignations Follow NYBR Resolution on Mixed Marriage

nal funds are immediately made available, many of these schools may pass out of existence." To avert this, the rabbis said that Jewish federations and welfare funds must give precedence in their allocations to the day school movement. "Intensive education must take precedence over every welfare program currently being conducted by the Jewish community," they said.

New York (JTA)-Rabbi William Berkowitz, president of the New York Board of Rabbis, said that he expected "a number" of members would leave the NYBR "without further ado" in response to adoption of its resolution barring membership to rabbis who either officiate at mixed marriages or refer to. colleagues couples seeking a rabbi for that purpose.

Widow of Hanged IraqiJew Describes Details of Ordeal

Rabbi Joseph Glaser, executive vice-president of the Central Conference of American ftabbis, the Reform rabbinate, who said at the meeting he planned to challenge the legality of the vole for the resolution in civil court, said that he had been told that letters of resignation by CCAR members were "pouring".into the NYBR office. Rabbi Glaser said many of those resigning were Reform rabbis who were not in violation of the membership ban but who were "disgusted" by it Rabbi Glaser called the res-, olution "short-sighted" and predicted it would lead to the "dissolution" of the NYBR, which represents Orthodox, Conservative and Reform members,. 'Honor System R a b b i Berkowitz stressed that the NYBR had no plans at present to set up machinery to expel members who refuse to end such officiating or such referrals. He said it was expected that "a kind of honor system" would prevail which would make such machinery • unnecessary.

Christian Scholars Back Rights of Israel and Jews '

New York (JTA)-The B'nai B'rith's Anti- D e f a m a t i o n League has welcomed a statement by a group of leading Christian scholars denying that Israel's policy is one of belligerence and warning that "anti-Semitism is a Pandora's box from which spring out not only atrocities against Jews

Aid Urged for Jews In Iraq and Syria Lausanne (JTA)—The international president of B'nai B'rlth, expressed concern here over the increasingly desperate plight of Jews in Iraq and Syria and called for the massive intervention of world leaders. D a v i d Blumberg declared that unless there is outside intervention, it is only a question of time before both of. these beleaguered c om m u n it ies— hostages of the Middle East conflict—disappear. "There is Incontestable evidence," he said, "that the barbaric anti-Jewish policies of these governments stand in clear violation of Jhe provisions of article 2 of the U.N. Genocide Convention." Blumberg made an urgent appeal to the U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim and "all friendly governments" to intercede immediately on behalf of the Jews in these coutries.

but also contempt for Christ." The statement, by the 18member Israel Study Group, asserts that Israel's sovereignty is valid "on moral and juridical grounds," that "Christian hostility and indifference" to Israel constitute "a major source of friction ,in contemporary Christian-Jewish relations," and that "the fierce persecution" of Jews of by ' Christians has reflected "gross Ignorance of Jewish history ami religion." The Israel Study Group .was. formed two years ago by the Commission on Faith and Order of the National Council of Churches and the Secretariat for. Catholic-Jewish Relations. Its statement made several other points: Even underground, as now, anti-Semitism is " a difficult virus to counterattack," having "a pervasiveness that infects our whole civilization." But fortunately "some Christian churches art working hard" to excise anti-Semitic references from liturgy and education. Christianity "is rooted in the life of the People Israel," and "it is a tragedy of history that Jesus, our bond of unity with the Jews, has all too often become a symbol and source of

"Two religious traditions, not a single Judeo-Christian tradition, have shaped our culture," and ''one's understanding of the spiritual nature of the human person remains incomplete without the other." Jewish worship and life are "authentic forms of service to the truo God." The statement warned that if inflation and unemployment worsen or another depression sets in "we can be fairly sure that the radical right and/or the radical left will make Jews out to be the culprits."

'Cultural Gap* Starts in Cradle Jerusalem, (JTA) — The cultural gap between haves, and have-nots — one of the most serious issues confronting Israeli society — may have its beginnings in the cradle according to research by a Hebrew University graduate student. A thesis by Susan Ela showed that the responses of infants as young as four months old differed according to the socioeconomic class into which they were born. Miss Ela based her .findings on a study of 80 infants aged 4-7 months from normal middle class homes, culturally disadvantage*! homes and institutions. The infants from the middle class homes had an ability to reach for and manipulate objects which the other infants lacked, Miss Ela reported. She said that "Through p r o p e r stimulation in middle c l a s s homes where there are conscientious mothers who give toys to- their children, decorate their rooms and talk to them, infants at f o u r months are reaching out to objects presented to them. "In environments where there is a paucity of such stimuli, such as institutions and disadvantaged homes, this behavior does not appear frequently at that age," she

Jewish Leaders Deny Report Of 'Serious Nazi Problem1 Buffalo, N.Y. (JTA)-A Jewish community spokesman dismissed as exaggerated a local press report that Buffalo faces "a serious Nazi problem." The spokesman said that while there had been "two or three cases" recently of Nazi activity, only a tiny number of people were involved and "the matter is well in the hands of Buffalo County and Federal law enforcement authorities," The Buffalo Jewish Review, an English-Jewish weekly published here, reported that "a reliable federal government source" had informed it "that the problem of Nazi activity in the Buffalo area is more serious than the Jewish community has been led to believe." According to the paper, the source said the Buffalo police were not sufficiently aware of the situation because there was

no public demand for them to keep up with it. A statement minimizing the "Nazi problem" was issued by Eugene M. Warner, chairman of the Buffalo chapter of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League; Wayne W i s b a u m, chairman of. the American Jewish C o m m i t t e e chapter here, and J, Milton teckhouser, president of tlw United Jewish "Federation of Buffalo. They called on the community •to refrain from "emotional reaction" in dealing with the problem. Louis H. Glickman,'' executive director of the Upstate New York ADL, said that there are no more than "four "or five" people in Buffalo who engage in Nazi activity. Glickman said there were no more than three or four Nazi incidents during the last three, months.' •

It's the custom here

By CARL ALPERT Haifa—Books on economics tell us that customs duties, or tariff on imports, are intended to serve one of two purposes: either to raise the cost of imported merchandise so as to protect domestic production, or to serve as a •ource of revenue for the government. In Israel, It sometimes appears, the customs duties are intended to serve a third purpose: to discourage overseas assistance to philanthropic, educational, or religious Institutions in the country. There seems to be no other reason behind the rulings of the customs authorities in dozens of cases, of which we cite only a few examples:

help the Israel Nautical School, presented the institution with his private yacht. Customs duty imposed. —Children in England collected 1,000 pounds Sterling to purchase and send to the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo a gift of a baby elephant. The customs collector demanded his due: 20 per cent. —Equipment to repair the Al Aksa Mosqtie in Jerusalem was sent from Italy. It was help up in the port of Haifa, pending payment of 150,000 Israeli pounds customs duty. In this instance, only the intercession of the Prime Minister's office brought about a waiver of the tax. —Israeli children suffering from , cystofibrosis require expensive medicines which are not produced in Israel. These .medicines are subjected to such high customs duty that the desperate parents are forced to become criminal smugglers to obtain the pills, needed to keep their children alive. —A Christian woman in Switzerland used to send knitted caps for Israel's soldiers, as a token of her love and respect for the country, though she had never been here. The Soldiers! . Welfare Committee was obliged to ask her to refrain from further shipments, since they could not afford the duties demanded by the customs collectors, —The Rambam Hospital in Haifa, a government institution, has had to reject gifts of medical equipment, toys for children, and other items offered by .generous friends from overseas because of prohibitive customs duties. The hospital is now debating whether it can afford-to pay about 12,000 Israeli pounds of taxes on automatic recording equipment to test the hearing of newborn "babies. The shipment was contributed by the U. S. government.

Katz's Korner By LARRY KAT?I, JCC Youfh Director

In the Des Moines News Section of the July 29 J e w i s h Press, Alan Weiner wrote a hard-hitting critique of his community's Jewish youth groups ("The Decline of Jewish Youth Groups: Fact or Fiction?) Although he stirred up a hornet's nest, Alan did, "tell it like it is." Even the most dedicated organization member has to accept the truth in Alan's claim that youth groups are declining because,of the lack of qualitive and quantative youth involvement, and the- lack of adult community support. —A warm hearted New How many times I've heard: Alpert Yorker, visiting the Meiri "I don't go to meetings anyschool in the Katamon section of Jerusalem, more because I'm bored with was touched by the ragged appearance of chilthe same old routine" . . . dren from needy families.

By JEANETTE BEAU 1073 Women's Division Chairman A dynamic Women's Campaign Cabinet of 40 women assumed responsibilities with enthusiasm, established goals and set about toward their accomplishment with creativity, dedication and vigor. The increase in regular gifts is a fine one—and credit for this must go to all workers and in particular to Division Chairmen who fulfilled their responsibilities admirably. The outstanding special Women's gifts to the Israel Education Fund in the amount of $38,000 for 1973 are a magnanimous response to the first such pacesetting gift made in 1972, and reflect an awareness and understanding complete with an ability and a desire to respond. Our youth, under the talented leadership of Sandra Lipsman,and their devoted advisers, June Daniels and Charna Axelrod, conducted a youth campaign of unequaled depth and qualityzeroing in primarily on fundamental educational sphere. Their program was climaxed with a retreat for all Jewish youth in. Des Moines which provided them with an opportunity for indepth exploration of what it means to be Jewish in an atmosphere of fellowship and harmony.

News Around Kohane on Bail Jerusalem (JTA) — Jewish Defense League leader Meir Kahane was released on IL 100,000 bail after spending one month in detention. Rabbi Kahane is awaiting (rial on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping and other crimes in the United Stales and trying to damage U.S.rlsraeli relations In connection with tne American visit of Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev. Kahane promised on his release that he would not contact any persons abroad and that he would show up for his trial. The JDL leader also ' faces charges of attempting to smuggle arms out of Israel and creating racial tension in Israel by exhorting Arabs to leave the country.

Venereal Disease Problem Jerusalem (JTA) -- Health Minister Victor Shemlov told the Knesset on July 4 that his ministry was undertaking an intensive campaign to fight .venereal disease which he said Is especially high among the young population. According to Shemtov, the incidence of gonorrhea is ISO cases per 100,000 persons and syphilis 14 cases per 100,000.

Civil Service Strike Tel Aviv (JTA)—Vital transportation and communications services came to a standstill Sunday as some 500 civil s e r v i c e employes staged a 24-hour strike to support their demands for a wage scale' equal to that of engineers. Finance Minister Pinhas Saplr said that the government will not accede to wage demands above the established guidelines.

Sapir warned employes not to expect the government to give in to their wage demands because of the elections this year. Meanwhile there was no telephone service in Israel and no trains were running. Special buses were chartered to carry servicemen back to their units from weekend leaves. The civil service employes have threatened a general strike beginning July 8 if their demands are not met.

cow were l'eported as disclosing that in the Jan. June period this year Jewish emigration was 15,000—of which 2,400 emigrated in June. The American sources said they did not yet obtain a figure for June but by accepting the Moscow statistics their total would be 14,830.. In the first six months of 1972, the Americans said, emigrants totaled 15,500 while in the entire year the emigration was 31,500.

Synagogue Converted

Doctors' Strike Ends

The oldest synagogue in North Germany, built in Celle about 1600, has been converted into a museum by the town council at a cost of DM 200,000. The museum houses many Jewish cultural artifacts and is also available as a house of worship for visitors to the near-by Bergen-Belsen concentration camp site.

Tel Aviv (JTA)—The doctors' strike ended on July 5, 29 days after it began, when the National Physicians C o u n c i l voted 54-1 to accept the - terms of ah agreement hammered out in two days of marathon negotiations. Both sides claimed a victory. • .The 6,000 salaried physicians, employed "by government and sick fund hospitals and clinics', won their claims for extra pay for Saturday and night duty and a revision of the wage grading system. But their pay hikes do not exceed the 45.6 pe> cent ceiling set by the government.

Boycott Ignored Madrid (JTA)—A Spanish company is ignoring the Arab boycott and going ahead with the construction of two large hotels in Israel, it was reported here. One of the hotels will be in Jerusalem and the other in Tel Aviv. ;. The hotels are being built by Melia, the largest Spanish hotel chain. The company has an option for a third hotel in Israel. '•

Chagall Museum Opened Paris (JTA)—The Marc Chagall National Art Museum was inaugurated this week in the town of Cimiez, near Nice. The museum is the first ever buHt by France for a living painter. Chagall said the museum was "a symbol for the Jewish people the world over and for Israel." The museum, which is called the "Marc Chagall Biblical Message," houses more than 400 drawings, lithographs, sculptures, oil paintings, pastels, mosaics, tapestries, and stained-glass ^windows.

Tested in Jerusalem

Jerusalem, (JTA) — Jerusalem was depicted as a testing ground for Arab-Jewish relations that will liave a great bearing on whether or not Israel can eventually co-exist with its Arab neighbors. Police Minister Shlomo Hillel, addressing the Jerusalem Economic Club, said that never before in Israel's history have Jews and Arabs lived so closely together and in such large numbers as in Jerusalem since the Six-Day War. Hillel disclosed that among the 130 east Jerusalem Arabs serving as full members of the Israeli Police Force, there were several officers who had Israeli policemen under their command. These Arab policemen hold Jordanian citizenship as do almost all East Jerusalem Arabs, he said. "I don't ask them if they like the political situation. I presume they don't," Hillel said. But when the political situation is resolved, the day-to-day relationships that have developed will provide the basis for real coexistence, he added. • Hillel said that relationships between Jews and. Arabs in Israel proper immediately after Israel's independence in 1948 were marked by fears and tensions which only gradually worked themselves out. He said the lessons learned in this evolving relationship have enabled Israel to deal naturally with the Arabs in East Jerusulerit and the administered territories after the Six-Day War.

He said that the new relations now being worked out in East Jerusalem will determine "our ability to live with Arabs across the border." Hillel, who is the government's unofficial liaison with Jerusalem and West Bank Arabs, expressed
