United States will maintain the closest contact with the government of Israel throughout the negotiations." Exactly what transpired during the intensive round of talks in Jerusalem was not disclosed. Israel's hesitation over tlie Genevji conference was attributed to concern tbat it would become a UN controlled event and thus weighted in favor of the Arabs. There was also the serious problem of Syria's refusal to comply with the
Geneva protocols on prisoners of war; fear that a Palestinian delegation might be given representation at the last minute; and apprehension over indications that Egypt sought to turn the talks into a forum on Israeli withdrawal rather than a genuine peace conference. Kissinger apparently succeeded in allayihg some or most Israeli fears. But there were indications that he and the Israeli leaders still do not see eye to eye on all matters^
Senate Committee Okays Aid to Israel Washington The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has approved the bill authorizing $2.2 billion in emergency military aid for Israel. The vote Tuesday was 15 to 2. Chairman William Fulbright. D-Ark., and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, D-Mont. cast the negative votes. ^ The House approved both the appropriation and authorization measures essential for the legislation.
The three committees that have acted have all approved the total of 12.2 bilUon and also that at least |1 billion should go to Israel as a credit. The remainder of the funding may be used by the President either in grant or credit form, or both. The language for that is not precisely alike in th« measures and they wiU need to be harmonized in Senate-Housa conferences.

^ Nobel Prize Winner Linked With Nazi Rodai Theories New York (JTA)—An International controversy hw arisen over the award of thU year's Nobel Prize in life sciences to Konrad Loreni. an Austrian scientist accused in some circles of having prop«g«t«l Naii racial theories. According to an article by < Wallace Cloud aHiearing in the Dec. issue of "The Sciences," a magazine published by tl« New York Academy of Sciences, Lorenz'j theories of human nature "holds that people are Instlnct-drlven, born to kill, virtually incapable of self-conIrol" and therefore, human society should be subject to strict •rder. Lorenz in his writings has also advocated "extermination of elements of the populai tion loaded with dregs." In an Amsterdam television interview last month, Lorenz <lenied allegations of his Nazi past and denied thai he had written in 1940 that the Nordic race was superior. He claimed that he had used Nazi racial terminology ~in some, of his
writings only for the sake of clarity. Prof Nice Tinbergen, a British colleague who shares the Nobel award with Lorenz, said in the same interview that Lorenz's actiDiu were attributable to "poUtical naivity." aoud said that Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal h4s protested to the Nobel Committee over the award on grounds that Lorenz has refused to repudiate idenUfic pap«^ on the "inferiority" of certain classes of people which he published during the Hitler regime. Cloud'i artide oiiotM- Ite American psychiatrist. Dr. Frederic Wertham as saying to "To give the Nobel Prize to Lorenz does unspeakable harm, to my mind. Millions of people will die for that reason." Wertham feels that Lorenz's ideas 'are distinctly Nazi theories, developed in the intellectual climate that led to the kiUing of 275.000 German m^nUl patients by their own psychiatrisU,"

Shared School Building Proposed for JCC $ite Omaha—A prapoial for a community Hiucatioiul faellHy to be MM •• the flte of the New Jewish Community Center, to boaae tke programi of the three Omaha iynacofae acbools aad (he Jewlih Day Sehaal li beine conildered by the leadert of the respective Inalitattaai. The proposnl wag made at the December 13 meeting of the Omaha J«wiah Fadaratlon Bureau of Jewish Education. According to Steven Riekes, chairman of the Bureau, the facility "would not b« a community school; it would simply be a community building to be shared by alt educational institutions wishing to participate." . , Mr. Riekes said that Betli Ed Synagogue is ready to proceed with its plans (or a new religious school building and Beth Israel Synagogue is planning a similar facility In the near future. "These two buildings would be located near the JCC, within five blocks of each otter and would necessitate considerable capital Investment from the respective congregations. While Temple Israel is not planning an immediate relocation for Its school, the westward movement of the Jewish community certainly indicates that it may be a future necessity," Riekes said. - "A cooperative ({uildlng on the Center aita certainly has possibilities of being the best, most eoommlcal answer to the school building needs of our Jewish community." Riekes said. "In addition to the economy of erecting one building rather than jevera'.. there are additional savings Involved in building on the Center grounds where uttiiUes and other site improvements have already been made." According to Mr. Riekes, a motioff was passed at the December 13 meeting of the Bureau of Jewlah education, requesting each synagogue, the Day School and the Jewish Community Center boards to consider the proposal and to bring the response to the next meeting of tte Bureau which will be held Monday, January 7 at 7:30 p.m. at Beth El Synagogue. "I kare," Mr. Riekes said, "that the baards a( these iastttatloaa eaa have the beaefit of the reactions af, their membership before fonnolatiBg (heir respoasei. I arge all interested members af the communitv to voice their views aa the proposal, either through letters to the Jewish Press or throagh direct commBnicattoa with the leaders of the lastltutioaa involved."

B'nai BVith Cancels Convention in London Washington — B'nai B'rith, reacting to "angry sentiments" over the British government's pro-Arab policy during the Mideast war, cancelled London as the site of its triennial convention next year. The cancellation was proposed by B'nai B'rith president David M. Blumberg and adopted by the organization's international board ef governors at its annual meeting here. Mr. Blumberg told the board that pn»pecttve delegates "have Indicated a strong reluctance to convene -i»-» -country whoso government has shown such little regard for Israel's right to Uve." The convention, a 92 million operation, was expected to draw more than 2,000 delegates and guests to Great Britain In mid-Novfniber 1074.
Mr. Blumberg said that the London cancellation "is not meant to be vindictive. We have no quarrel with the fairminded attitude of the British people." But, he added, reaction in the Jewish community finds that "British government policy, in contrast to British public opinion, dealt a aevere blow to Israel and to Western unity by yielding to the Arab threat of oil blackmail, while abandoning the American effort to resist a Soviet takeover in tiw B'nai B'rith had rectnved petitions and protests from, its members "expresaing concern that a convention in London might be construed aa indiference to the British govemmen's anti-Israel policy," Mr. Blumberg said.

Hf^lboiiagss Of Oil in Israel Tel Aviv, (JTA) — Israel, by dint of careful planning and preparations over the last decade, haa adequate supplies of oil, but the price of energy "will be much more expepslve than liitherto." Deputy Finance Minister Tzvi Dlenstein said here. The oil lupply to Israel is continuing from various sources, he said. "We have the means to transport the crude oil, refine it and supply the cus^ to mors," Nevertheless, Dr. Dienstoin said, Israel will make an all-out effort to increase oil prospecting and to find alternative energy sources.

Omaha — Last Saturday's Richard Tucker concert for the benefit of Israel bonds was termed a "tremendous success," both artistically and financially," by Mr. and Mrs. Barton Greenberg, bond campaign co-chairmen. "About 1,200 attended," said Greenberg, "and we pasaed the million dollar mark in bond sales. In previous years we held annual bond dinners which could accommodate only three or four hundred. Obviously, the concert gave many nnore people a chance to participate. "Oa behalf ef these wha lost their lives in the Yom KIppvr war, and for those wbe'sarvlve, my wife Carol and I waat to tliaBk tlie greater Omaha cemBiMBlly far Ms aapyart. A ape-
clal thanks goes to E. Robert Newman, whose generosity made It possible for Mr. Tucker to appear In Omaha," Greenberg said. Greenberg pointed out that in order to fulfill Israel's $642 million budget, this year's bond drive must supply an additional $300 million by March. "We hope Omahans will remember Israel bonds for their Hanukkah gift giving, as well as on other happy occasions," Greenberg added.
'No Choiige' for Jews in Greece London <JTA)—The position of Greek Jews has not changed in any way as a result of the latest change of government, the JTA was told by Joseph Lovlnger, chairman of the Jewish community in Greece who attended the meeting of the European Executive of the World Jewish Congress. Lovlnger said: "The new government of Greece did not bring about any changes in the position of the Jewish community. Greece never liad any kind of anti-Jewish program. Greek Jews have always lived ia peace and on a basis of complete equality among the Greeks. This was the case under all governments, and it r»< mains the case under the present one as a matter of fact."

The tiny occupant was oblivious to my stares or to those ol liis three other graodparents Who vere with me at ttie window. We were unanimous in our agreement that this was tlie most beautiful baby ever bom. There's notliing particularly spectacular about babies being bom or parents becoming grandparents — except when it liapens to you tlie first lime—then it's spectacular. There's months of waiting, the anxious hours in the hospital, the sense of grateful relief that all is well with the new mother and finally the indescribable feelings at seeing a new grandchild for >, tlie first time. I was filled with awe at the miracle of birth, and as I stared in the nursery window, the sheer joy of the moment was entwined with many thoughts. I (oand it rather easy to see myself as a grandmodier. Far more difficult to accept was (be realization that my son was now a father. The cUM hMl beceme a parent, and what AM fee Jknow aboat befaq; a parent? He lutew only what he had learned from his own childhood experiences with his parents. I thoujiht about those years. Which of liis experiences would iie want to recreate for his own son? Which would he try to avoid? Wliich of our family values would he want to transmit to a new generation; what new values would he add; what would be lost? Could my son, turned father, now tioderstand the grave responsibility of parenthood? It suddenly occurred to me that I had already given my new grandchild the most important thing I could give. I had played a key role in the biological javcezs that rjcsulted in his birth. 1
had'provided him with a father who now bad the direct responsiblity of l>ringing to fruition all my hopes for liim. }ij son's success as-a parent would be influenced by the example wo had set. I hoped wo had done our job well. I remembered, with regret, my moments of frustration, ImpaUanco uid occasional unfairness as a parent. I hoped there had been enough food examjiles to compensate. I tried to determine the priorities I wanted most for this new baby. The Qrst priority is a long life in good health. I hope ho will always bo filled with the wonder and excitement of living; that be will use to the fullest his capacity to love, to lliink, to feel, to learn and to appreciate life's beauty. I hope be will grow strong, yet tender; that bis commitment to justice be tempered with compassion; that he know contentment while striving for improvement; that lie know his own uniqueness and yet t>e aware that ho is part (rf a priceless heritage. I hope he will have reverence for the past and a desire to shape the future. I hope he will bo guided by truth, motivated by love and inspired with wisdom to live his life fully as a Jew and as a man, with dignity, integrity and purpose. I hope has parents will remember that they are doing more than raising a child, the^ are preparing a father for their future graifilchild. I hope that they have the joy of staring throu^° a nursery window at a new generation produced by their son, with the knowledge that they have done their job well. These are pretty heavy thoughts to be directing to a little sleeping bundle a few hours old. But that's one of the real joys of being a grandparent. We gave our grandchUd the parents who will provide for his daily needs. And while they direct their efforts to the daily events of his living, grandparents are free to hope and dream and pray for tlie totality of his life. These were some of my thoughts in the early hours of the life of Daniel Scott GereUck. What more can I say other than "Sheheyheyanu."

Unlike most classes of thia kind, it is not merely a ceremonial institution, but is the culmination of a period of thorough study in Biblical history, phUosophy of rriigion, Jewish ethics and religious catechism." . A 1928 criUque of the City Talmud Torah stated that "there is no uniform method used throughout the school in the teaching of Hebrew and otlier subjects. Whatever 'curriculum' there is consists of ^ bodgeppdge of hifluences of past leaders, each of whom tried to impose his particular ideas upon tbe school. Particularly noticeable are the ill effects of a Rabbi Charlap, a young Orthodox Palestinian rabbi who rode roughshod over the Talmud Torah in his efforts to lead it back to ghetto idbaa and practices."

war is the pinnacle of the worse that can befall a country. So now we too are paying higher taxes, higher costs for the dally necessities and finding some merchandise in short supplies. So now we too share intimately with our Israeli neighbors their grief andi concern over loved ones in uniform. I hope that we don't have to buriTour Anterican passports to prove our solidarity with our Israeli neighbors. At no time during the costly three weeks of fighting, which preceded the present shaky cease-fire, did I feel that I or my family were in any physical danger. .We accented the total restrictive blackout as a neces-
sary precautionary measure, just as we did preparing our building's air raid shelter for use in the event of an enemy attack. Furthermore, if such an attack had materialized, we were resigned to accept the harsh, brutal realities of war. I am a firm' believer In Israel's superiority, having the utmost faith in the worn expression that "right makes might." Israel is right. All that this tiny Middle East nation wants is to live at peace with her Arab neigbbon. If that too much to ask? The original question asked was, "Have you thought about coming back?"

Barbara and migration summons from the Israeli government. They were thrust back from the Embassy gate by four mi'litia-men who told thetai to "get the hell out sf there." From that day until be left for Israel, Boris was never free of surveilance. By May of 1971, Boris was really beginning to feel the claustrophobia of his situation. He could feel the gigantic machinery of the state winding rotilld him and threatening to suffocate him. He asked for a summons from his uncle, Eliezer Krasny, a contractor in Jerusalem. He received it. Boris then took the most terrible and awesome step of all —be filed an application to emigrate. And the world exploded around him. First, he was expelled from the Komsomol, the Soviet Communist Youth Organization. Then came the pressure—first at the furniture factory where he worked In the production planning department. The pressure was subtle, insidious; couched as It was in the indignity of a demotion to the position of lathe operator, until his boiling pride forced him to quit the job altogether. "They don't fire you in the Soviet Union," Boris explained later. "They Just make it impossible for you to work." Shortly afterward, he again managed to find work, this time as an electric welder. V(x awhile, it seemed almost' as if he were fretf from harassment and could breathe again. But the K.G.B. agents were moving in their strange and inexorable ways. They induced th« editor of the Kvening Kiev, a local paper, to print an article denouncing Btt-is for his "Zion* lit Adavltyi'" and ikainting lllM
Borif Krasay with the black colors of a "betrayer of the state." The factory, director, in tears, begged him to resign. During his final six months in the Soviet Union, Boris was without work, and had to ask the help of his friends and relatives for the food he put into his mouth. He and his friends were treated to numerous "interviews" by (he police. Finally, in February of 1972, the Soviet authorities decided that Boris and two of his friends were not trig enough fish to trouble with any more. They were summoned to still another interview and told with studiously sarcastice politeness that their applications to emiCr'ate might be "sympathetically studied" if they agreed to suspend their "revolutionary activities." All three declined the offer with equal politeness. Two months later, at the end of April. Boris was told by a representative of the Department of Visas and Registration (OVIR) that "your problem has be*n solved; You can get the hell out of the Soviet Union." On May 12, he was in Israel, where he was met by his uncle Ellezer. Five months later he was married there and enrolled in the Hebrew l/niversity. Barbara Stern, from West Germany, was a student in the upan where Boris was studying Hebrew in Jerusalem. A quali-. fled nurse in the Hadassah hospital Barbara was born In Turkey to a German father and ' Yugoslav mother, and one of the few who could carry on even a stumbling conversation with Boris because of her knowledge 6f Serbo-C r o a t, a Slavic language. 'I'hcir dialogue yfus coherent enough to convince them within three months that they wUnty^d^td<be merried.

The Tradition of Freedom (Excerpts from the D'var Torah delivered at the November meetiDg of the Des Moines Federation Board of Governors.) Each of us here are part of a unique group, unique in the history ol civilization. What other group reckons its continuous religious experience in peoplebood, a peoplehood covering millennia, not merely years? I have never been one to value anything or anyone for age alone, but have long been aware of an implicit consideration of what the existence lias meant. Has it enhanced, in some way, life on earth? In tlilnking of Judaism's remarkable thousands of years of continuence, 1 think of what is most important to me witiiin its widely embracing tradition. When we see an example of real civilizing life on earth threatened and so ancient a tradition has been threatened with extinction several times in a lifespan as brief as our own, we each formulate thoughts of what we value from Judaism.' For me, It is uoqaestlonably the tradition of freedom. So I choose to mention from tlie Torah the ringing cry in Leviticus, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof." I think of Moses' plea, "Let my people go." I like what the poM Heinrich had to say, "Since the Elxodus, freedom has always spoken with a Hebrew accent," In our deliberations for our Jewish community as a whole, I hope the tradition of freedom within Judaism is important to an taking part. It is essential to us not only to be free to be Jews in a world ot others. We must also be free to be the kind of Jews that each of us individually believes to be moral and good. As we work together for the betterment of Jewish life as a whole, /may we keep in mind the largeness of that life and the enriching quality of the many paths leading to it.

ing libraries within the com-' munity. It was also suggested that books of Jewish content be made available at high school libraries. Mr. Marcovis recommended that the Bookey land be developed for use for this summer. Concern for involvement with college- students in the Des Moines area was voiced. Mario Soria, faculty advisor, discussed future program planning for Drake House. Rabt>i Berg voiced concern about the education presently available at the Bureau of Jewish Education. He suggested that more intensive knowledge of prayer, history, Torah and customs be introduced. The current level of adult learning was discussed. Lil Carson suggested that tadivlduallzed study programs with formal syllabi be made available. "*-' David Belin recommended that a definite percentage of funds raised for the Institute of Family Life be set aside for experimental programming. Dick Levitt reassured the Assembly that the CAC report would be presented March 1. Marvin Pomerantj concluded the meeting by stating that diversity and respect for all opinions are the .strongholds of Judaism and would guide CAC action.
An Interview with the Larry Engmans By Kay Bucksbaam Th<6 first Des Moines couple to visit Israel and return since the outbreak of the Vom Kippur Day War is Mr. and Mrs. Larry Engman.

the most recent war, Larry EIngman said they never had a feeling of being upsafe while iit Israel, and felt more secure, in fact, than tttey sometimes do at home in the U.S. Moving Experiences Emotionally moving experiences occurred many times during their trip and soli(}ified their determinations to do more of what they could to help Israel. Their feeling of solidarity with world Jewry Ijecame much stronger as a result of their visit. The Israelis they spoke with feel they can look only to world Jewry for support outside their own nation. Sue Engman said that she sensed a
strong feeling of oneness with the Jewish people ti»ere and told of meeting a plane load of new arrivals from the U.S.S.R. "We were taken behind the waiting area and right up to the plane where the Russian passengers were being loaded into buses which shuttle the short distance to ttte Lod terminal. It was 3 a.m. and there were babies nestled in arms, sleepy-eyed children, and people canylng all sorts of belongings, such as precious musical instruments. We were all yelling 'Shalom!
