First Jew Named U.S. Secretary of State Washington, (JTA) — For the first time in the 197 years.of the American Republic, a Jew Is to be its Secretary of State. Furthermore, in retaining his post as assistant to the President for National security affairs, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger ' is now being entrusted with authority in U.S. foreign relations never held by an American, apart from the President himself. Kissinger told reporters last week that lie will conduct U.S. foreign policy "regardless of religious and national heritage." Dr. Kissinger made the 'remark at a press conference In San- Clemente, California when asked by a reported how he would put to rest Arab feeling?, over his conduct of American foreign policy in light of his background and family heritage. * Senate F o r e i g n Relations Committee hearings on Dr. Kissinger are expected to start

in mid-Sept, and the Senate confirms him. Simple majorities in the Committee and the Senate are sufficient for confirmation, but not ever having appeared in a public or private session of a Congressional panel, his entire life and writings will be minutely explored before the Committee, headed by Sen. J. W i l l i a m Fulbright, gives its assent. Manifestations of dismay by Arab diplomats- and foreign offices at the departure of William P. Rogers and the accession of Dr. Kissinger are expected. It is reasonable to expect anti-Kissinger propaganda from Arab sources if only to try to place Dr. Kissinger }n a position of bending over backward to please the Arabs in order not to appear pro-Israeli because he is Jewish. The son of intensely Jewish -parents, a Bar Mitzvah boy in Nazi Germany* the father of . two children, he is Jewish without question. His family came to America in 1938 with Dr. Kissinger going to high school in New York while working in a factory to help the family income.

New York (JTA)—A move to prevent the 1980 O l y m p i c Games from being held in the Soviet Union got under way as reaction mounted against the organized harassment of the Israeli team participating in the world college student olrnppics in Moscow. The U.S. Committee Sports for Israel, the American arm of the Maccabiah Games, announced that it will approach all national U.S. Olympic committees to prevent the 1980 Olympics from going to Moscow. Rep. Edward Koch (D. N.Y.) disclosed a letter he sent to Phillip Krum, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and Lord Killanin, president of the International Olympic Committee, urging them to "reject any attempts by the USSR to become the 1980 host country." Al Duer, executive director of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, said that he would "recommend to the U.S. College Sports Council which is responsible for the U.S. team in Moscow to fully investigate the actions taken in Moscow to fully investigate the actions taken in Moscow, and to take such action as is necessary to assure' that all nations in the university world games are treated with dignity and respect." Israeli athletes were targets of abuse at three basketball games they played in Moscow and in other sports events. Russian soldiers who packed the arena at the basketball game on Aug. 21 between Israel and Puerto Rico shouted "Zhyd" at the I s r a e l i players and ripped two Israeli flags held up by Jewish spectators. Twenty Jews were attacked as they left

Israeli Athletes Praise Courage of Soviet Jews
Tel Aviv, Aug. (JTA) — Israel's 32-member t e a m returned from the World University Games in Moscow with little to say about the harassment they were subjected to but with high praise for the courage and spirit of the Soviet Jews they met. They said it was an unforgettable experience; meeting, talking to and seeing Russian Jews who want to go to Israel. "\Ve were very privileged to be there and sec our brethren," said Itamar Marzel, a basketball player. / Yair Frishman, manager of the Israeli volleyball team, said a visit to the Moscow Synagogue afforded many Moscow Jews their first opportunity to meet and speak with Israelis. The visiting athletes exchanged postcards, pins, emblems and other small gifts with the Moscow Jews. Many asked them to convey greetings to relatives already in Israel.

but, both of who mspeak English, met at various events and then went to dances together. 1 Schwartz said in a telephone conversation with his family here that the gymnast "dances very well." Ms. Korbut, apparently unconcerned about possible hostile official reaction, visited the Israeli athletes. She has intimated that her mother was - half-Jewish. Schwartz, who said he intended to maintain contact by correspondence with the beautiful gymnast after he returns to Israel, declared, "we are now good friends."
New York (JTA) — Special notices have been posted in Hasidic synagogues in the Boro Park and Williamsburg sections of Brooklyn urging coijgregants not to use subways during rush hours to go to or from work. According to these notices, posted by Hasidic rabbis, sabways should be avoided at these times because the crowding of men and-women Is often Improper and because the attire of many women is immodest.

Moscow Radio Defends Aliya London, (JTA) — In two sensational broadcasts one in the general Arabic service and one in the Algerian services Moscow Radio came out last week in defense of aliya front the S o v i e t Union. The two broadcasts were a response to. criticism in the Arab media of the Soviet Union, and a report that even the Lebanese Information Minister had joined the chorus "of criticism of Soviet policy. In the broadcast on the general Arabic service it was stat-. ed: "The Beirut newspaper, Al Anwar, may have invented tho statement by the Lebanese Minister of Information that the Soviet Union was helping the enemy of Arabs. It is the Zionists and the imperialists who always tell the Arabs that the , Soviet Union had d e s e r t e d them." In the broadcast to Algeria it was stated: "the fact that a certain number of Jews have left the Soviet Union for Israel does not justify equating the USSR with the U.S. in relation to the Arabs. After all, only 42,000 Jews have left the Soviet Union for Israel but about 800,000 Jews have left the Arab countries for Israel.";

Two Israeli Seientists Receive U.S. Grout for Drug Research '
Rehovot (JTA)— The worldwide search for medication that : may help to rehabilitate ad' diets hooked on heroin and oth. cr hard drugs has resulted in the'award of a U.S. Depart; ment of Agriculture $109,000, ! three-year research grant to Professor David Lavie of the Welzmann Institute of Science '• and Arieh A b r a h a m of the neighboring Volcanl Institute of Agricultural Research. For the past few years Abraham and Prof. Lavie have been investigating the possibility of growing a certain species of poppy from which a chemical called tliebaine can be derived.
This product is the source of naloxone and other anti-addiction drugs less harmful than methadone. While methadone —which is already in use as a replacement drug for heroin addicts in many withdrawal clinics—produces unpleasant side effects and is i t s e l f addictive and therefore requires daily administration, naloxone and related drugs, currently in experimental use only, can be.given in smaller doses and appear to produce much better results. However, these drugs are in short supply, everywhere, since only very small amounts of chemical from which they are

produced, thebaine, can be extracted from the usual opiumyielding poppy. Prof Lavie and A b r a h a m hope to develop another, kind of poppy capable of yielding thebaine alone, from which new, better forms and economically more feasible anti-drug medication and pain-relieving substances can be obtained.

The question is: Can Jews be excommunicated? Most Jews will say "no" and If you bet on "yes"—you win, ' and here arc the facts to back you up. Excommunication has been used, very rarely, in times past. However no one has ever' been excommunicated in the United States—until last week , in Boston when 5 prominent Jews got the axe. Benn Friedman reported the extraordinary circumstances in , the Philadelphia Jewish Times, including some background on . - excommunication i n Jewish "life. ^ : - ; • . / ; • / ;' "' The t e r m "excommunication" (herem or niddui in Hebrew) literally means an individual Jew or a Jewish group excluded from the community, - together \vith a severance of , all social relations. The act, does not appear in any Jewish books prior to the time of the „ Second Temple. The act of excommunication lias serious overtones, although the acceptance of the action depends on the community to enforce the edict That, especially in the case of the 5 Boston Jews,! presents difficulties since no precedence exists. . Jews excommunicated a r c subject to these punishments: Excluded as a member of - mlnyon.

At our business meeting, it was decided to hold an election of officers the last week of August. Joe Rice was elected Chairman; Lou Mayer, Vice-Chairman and Sam Zw'eiback, Record keeper.
