Black Press Found Favorable to Israel NEW YORK, (JTA) - A survey of leading Black newspapers across the country indicates that the overwhelming majority were either favorable to Israel or evenhanded in the news reports and editorials they published on the Yom Kippur Vat. The American Jewiah Congress reported that lampling of the Black press for a seven-week period beginning with the out-break of (he war on Oct. t showed only one of is Black newspapera studied to be opposed to Israel. Commenting on the fin-
dings, Naomi Levlne, exfcutive director of the AJOongreas, declared: "The results of this study challenge' the frequently-expressed view that the Black community is at beat indifferent to Israel and at worst hostile to the Jei^ state. At the aame time, however, the survey demonstrates that there remains much work to be done by Jewish organlxations in pointhig out to the Black community that Israel Is a democratic movement of national liberation aodlbat the United Stales has a compelling Interest in her survival."

Aleioandr I. Solzhenitsyn, the eminent Soviet writer and Nobel Prize winner who has been courageously exposing and nghling^the inhuman methods and system of the Soviet secret police, dwells now at great length on the Stalin plan. In his new book, "The Gulag Archipelago" — an explosive massive expose of the Soviet terror system — he presents hitherto unknown facta on Stalin's devilish connivance to wipe out the Jews in Rissia while posing as an opponent of anti-Semitism. The book, ab-eady published In Paris and soon to be published in this country, is "forbidden fruit" in the Soviet Unton from where the manuscript had been smuggled out. According to Mr. Solzhenitsyn's version, Stalin proposed the holding of a public execution of the accused doctors by hanging them^n the Red Square, in front of the Kremlin. The mobs attracted to this morbid scene would have to be incited by speakers U> violence. They would then, under leadership of party officials, have spread out over Moscow carrying out a pogrom against Jews wlierever they were found in the style of the Czarist regime. After a night of looting and killing, Stalin would have stepped in as a "savior" of the Jews from the "anger of the masses" by transporting them to remote places in the Arctic. There they would meet a slow death in the forced labor camps which were prepared for them. Stalin was kaown as an aall-Semltc in the inner circle of the Krcmlta but. according to his saccessor, MUta Khrashchev, was always careful no( le mak^ hli antt-Jewltk feellagi known pabllcly, since this would coalradkt with the tenets of Leninism. Khrushchev pointed out In his memoirs (hat Stalin's hottllr attitude toward (be Jewish people was a "major defect" la bis character, but that be look care aever lo kbit at bb an(i-SemHI<m hi Ufitr'tt** worki or la bis speeches.
Similarly, Stalin's daughter, Svetlana Allihjyeva, charged her father with the murder of Sobmon Mikhoels, the noted and much decorated Soviet-Jewish actor and chairman of Uie Jewish Anti-fascist Committee, which was organized during the war years in. Russia to mobilize Jewish efforts throughout the world against th« Naxi invaaion to the Soviet Union. She relates in her memoirs how her father was informed over the telephone, at home, that the job on Mikhoela was completed. He then instructed lo tee to it that the killing of Mikhoels, a dedicated communist carrying the Order of Lenin decoration, was reported aa a more street accident. Mikhoels was run over by a truck while on a visit to Minsk. Tho Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee was later liquidated by order of Stalin together with all Jewish Cultural Institutions, Including the Jewish State Theatre in Moscow. Most of the Jewish writers and other intellectuals were either arrested and shot or baniibed to their death In campa in Siberia.

By Cari Albert Haifa — More than three months havt gone by since the fateful Vom Kippur day of 1973. Much has happened during this period, but it is obvious that we shall be faced with new devetopments and more changes, not neccMarily pleasant for Israel. How is our morale holding up? In reality, we should ask that qtiestton about morale on three different fronts: One to that of the aoldieri on the battle lines. The second is the civilian home front in Israel. The third is that of the Jewish community overseas. Let ua take « quick look at each. TheSoMiers Every report that reaches us, from the MOWS of Mount Hermon in the north, to the African side of the Suez Canal in the south, indicates that the soldiers are in good spirits. They have supreme confidence in their leaderihip, their equipment, and their own ability to turn any new Arab aggression into a holocaust for the enemy. One should not coofuie a aoldier'i griping with morale. It is in the aature of the aoldier to find fault. Gripes thrive on iOMtivity. Some of the Israeli newfl|Mp(lniNa have bacB sensationlizing soldier complaints as "evidence" of bitterness and low morale. Unfortunately the pre-election campaigning encouraged this sort of reportage. Mew aie aa araiy rf ssMUer* wha 4» aat gripe at little tkfaigs. sad I will rtiow yea an araiy that has little vahie ai a flghttag , Naturally, die boys do not relish the of slaying away from home, family, school ot Job (or any extended period of time. All of tbem would prefer to be back in civilian life. But their morale is high and their confidence, tempered perhaps since Yom Kippur, U supreme.
HoneFraai The picture is not quite the same on the home front. The bitter and critical electioneering which preceded the voting for the Knesset left Its mark. Even now, public feeling vacillates almost from day to day. Arab success in their use of the oil blackmail leaves us with an uneasy feeling. The world will blame us. How much longer will this conUnue? What wiU be the end"! WiU Kissinger lead us into a Mind alley, in which we shall And ourselves betrayed? Taxes and prices are skyrocketing, though life has not yet become austere. The inner fear comes not from any doubt as to our military ability to stand off the whole Arab world, but from the danger of RuMian intervention, and from the unpleasant fact of Israel's growing isolation in the world. The spirit of volunteering is still high, and the Israelis are prepared to make any sacriflce because they know, very simply, that we choose to live and exist. There is no alternative. Jews Abraad What is the mood and the spirit of Jews abroad? The fantastic response to the emergency has been told and retold, and has been a source of enormous encouragement to all Israelis. But how kng will Diaspora Jews keep up their spirits? Will they become discouraged? WUI they begin to think that we are too arrogant? That we riioukl compromise more? That even if Israel is destroyed, their Jewish community will survive, and after all, each must think of his own survival first? We're not sare what Ike morale is siMag yoa Jews overseas now, sfter three maalhs, sad la the lace of many, many more meaths of MBcertaialy. We'd like l« know.

for freedom in the Jewish imderground. Suddenly, in 1971, (or no apparent reason Bella was given the precious exit permit, and ordered to leave for Israel in a few days, without her son. She was assured that his permit would be granted in three or four months if he "behaved" himself. When Bella arrived in Israel, she launched a barrage of letters and petitions for her son. In November, 1972, she went to the U.S.A., to get help in the campaign to gain Miacha's freedom. Meanwhile, in Riga, Mischa who was now working as an elevator operator, continued his fight (or the right to emigrate. At the beginning of September, 1973, an official told him irritably: "It's definitely decided that you cannot leave before the summer of 1974. Now go away and don't worry us any more till then, or it'll be worse (or you!" Despite the rebuffs, Mischa still went every second week to check the lists of those who were granted exit permits. A few days later, on September 10, 1973, miraculously his name was on the list, slated to leave the U.S.S.R. on October S, the day before the Arab invaskw. At the very hour when \ isr^ei^ was fighting .des|ierately ifor the right o( the Jewish homeland to exist, Mischa was passing through Schoenau transit camp in Vienna on the first lap of his aliyah. He is- now at an ulpan, studying Hebrew together with other immigrapts from the U.S.S.R. His eya are stilt full of stars. "I'm still living in • dream," he says, "Everything in Israel Is wonderful — the weather, the people, everything." be has no doubt he will get a Jab when he fintttes the ulpan. Bella is more down to earth. She is having trouble getting a job, because her type o( qxcialization is unrecognized in Iireal, and she Ihipka that her age may be against her, too. She hak a small studk) apartment in. Jaffa, for the two of them, and has been told that they will have to wail some lime for a larger one. "But none of tlieae things are important," siie says, "now that I have my ton."

The Suez Canal: A 4,000 Year-old Headache The troubled negotiations between Israel and Egypt involving the Suez Canal are but a continuation of a problem that is nearly 4,000 years old. While the Canal Itself is litUe more than 100 years old, the Encycktpedia Judaica reports that as eariy as the 20th century, _ B.C.E. a canal connecting the Red Sea, the Bitter takes and the Nile DelU was in use under Pharaoh SeAtris. This canal subsequently passed through the hands of Pharaoh Neco, the Persian conqueror Darius I and the Romans, until the Caliph Al-Mansur, in the 8th century B.C.E., blockaded it for military reasons, whereupon the canal fell into disuse. The present Suez Canal represents the fruits of the French dreani to link the Mediterranean and the East by penetrating the Isthmus o( Suez, and the first sQrveys were begun during Napoleon'i occupation of Egypt from 1798-1901. Nearly seventy years were neeided to comfriete construction of the Canal, however, and it was not officially opened until November 17,
\t0i. Two fsmous Jews brought England into the Suet Canal's hUtory.

For the State o( Israel, the Suez Canal ha* been a bone of contention and not a boon. Though an 1888 conventiod guaranteed passage to all ships whether in peace or war, Egypt effectively blocked Israel's use since 1949, going so far as to capture and hold an Israel vessel and crew for three months In IM. A* far back as 19S1, the U.N. Security Council denounced Egypt's bkKkade of the Canal to Israel shipping but the Council was unable to sway the Egyptian rulers.

Cincinnati JCC
A Group of Gallant Kids ByHaskeUCabea
TEL AVIV - This is the story of a group of gallant youngsters from the Cincinnati >wish Community Center who visited Israel recently for a combined baaketball competition and tour of the country. What makes these boys so special is that originally, ten teams from Jewish Community Centers and day schools had agreed to participate in the secoiid annual International Basketball Jsmboree heU in Israel the last week in December. WouM you believe that ceaae-fire iq)heavals and the bombing of the plane in Rome caused all the other boys to cancel out, leaving the Cincinnati squad as the only US representative? As a result of the cancellations by the other American groups the basketball segment of the trip became secondary and the Charles Orenstein Foundation, sponsors of the annual competition decided to see to it that the boys had the best times of tbeir young lives. Perhaps one of the reasons the Cincinnati squad refused to buckle down to the scares which frightened off the other American Jewish contingent is due to their indomitable leader Rod HcKinley, physical education director at the Cincinnati Community Jewish Center. Rod, who is a practicing Jew, is a great-grand nephew of President William McKinley. His mother wu a "Rubenstein" girl who married Rod's dad. I've had experience travelling with McKinley before. In lM6hls Cincinnati youth team won the National Jewish Welfare Board Basketball Championship and consequently was selected to accomany our Pan-American Maccabiah Team to Braxil. My moat vivid recollection of McKinley, on that trip was when he approadied me in the lemi^e at the Friday,night services and ailiedl'.'Mr. Cohen, is.it okay If I smack one
of these fresh Uds who is interrupting the decorum in the rear of the temple?" Maybe I'm sorry now I didn't give him permission to belt the Ud, for It turned out that the young man, who wu disturbing the otherboys at the aervice, wu a great young swimmer by the name of Hark Spits. It's this ume Spitz who went on the Maccabiah fame and won the seven gold medals at Munich. It's the same Mark Spitz who, after the massacre at Munich, on a stopover' in London, instead of deploring what had transpired in Munich spoke to reporters al>out the brilliant financial future that awaited him in the States. At any rate Rod and his boys were shown the sights of Israel. They went on to play four basketball games, winning one and losing three. As one who was active in arranging the basketball competition and tour for the youngsters, I am chagrined, naturally, that our American Jewish youth didn't have the spunk to join with the Cincinnati aggregation in Hying to the Holy Land. What upsets me •most is the reaction of one rabbi who, at a meeting in behalf of the project, stated: "It's unconscionable to think that the people in Israel would want and expect our youngsters to come over there In this time of stress." What this rabbi, spiritual leader of the most garish and opulent temple in the east, failed to understand, was that the Israelis precisely expected this visit and others from their cousins from across the seas. Despite claims by the Ministry of Tourism here that people are coming over in good numbers I don't get that impression from hotel owners. How can Israel expect a flood of tourism wh^ men of cloth deter their (locks from visiting? With rabbis preaching this type of doctrine is it any wonder our youngsters are losing faith?
they seemed lo be unaware of the danger. It becomes my isd duty, therefore to tell yo«. Some Jews have gone too far. I'm delighted with the increased participation of Jews in the social, economic, professional, cultural and academic life in America. I think it's good (or Jews and good for America. These are not the danger spots. The danger area is sports. I take pride in the accomplishments of a Sandy Koufax and a Mark Spitz. I have no objection to IddyBiddy Basketball or golf for Middle-Age Matrons. But until very recently, who ever heard the familiar cry "Tennis Anyone" coming from the lips of a Jew? All that seems to be changing, and I think it's dangerous. At the recent Tennis Tourneys held In Omaha, a good proportion of the spectators were Jews. An even larger proportion of Jewish teenagers were helping with the matches. I'm told that even with the middle-aged matrons, goU li_out and tennis is hi. The ladies have taken to the' courts and the image vt the "Jewish Mother" is in grave danger. Indeed — even the new Jewish Community Center has been infected, and there for all the world to see are Jewish tennis courts. I believe Jews have na place In teaais. TradlUeaally, teaals has always beea the cxciastve right of tall, gea(lenea gealiles, fllttiag acress the courts In tbetawhites. Tenals ha't Jewish, and I'd (eel that way evenif It was played from right to left I Ihlak the experts shoald get off their studies and get Jews out of tennia before all Jewish Identity Is lost. I'm aware that there are skeptics who will question my motives in calling a halt to Jewish tennis. They might even say my negative (eelings about tennis stem (rom my own inadequacies. They might point to the (acts that 1) I lack (he coordination lo ever hit a moving tennis ball. 2) I lack the speed, the grace, the stamina, the desire to do the kind o( qulok leg work required o( tennis players. 3) Even if I could overcome the first two drawtsacks, I'd still look dreadful in those short little white tennis dresses. The skeptics might say that, and you know — the skeptics could be right! I guess I'm suffering from a severe case of panic. 1 see the tennis erase gaining momentum all around me and there's no way I'll ever be part of that picture. Soon I'll be sluing here alone on my Jewish identity while everyone else Is deucli)g II up on the tennis court. Is there anyone out there still interested in a nice Jewish game of ihenH

Nixon's Praise of Nazi Explained WASHINGTON, (JTA)-A newspaper report that President Nixon had referred "glowingly" to Albert Speer, a lop Nazi during World War II, during a recent meeting on the energy crisis was confirmed by Presidential press secretary Gerald Warren. Asked about the report in the syndicated Evans-Mevak column, Warren said he understood Nixon had referred to Speer "in the context of Speer's work relating In the mobilization of industry." Speer was one of the most important men in the Nazi government and was credited with keeping German industry at peak production during the war years. He was convicted of war crimes at (he Nuremberg trials at the end of the war. Asked if the President regretted his reference to Speer, Warren replied: "I don't think that a reference to an historical event should lead to a feeling of regret. There are lessons to be learned from both former cnemict. at well as former friends."

OJYC AND CALENDAR: TO BK, OR NOT It) RE? In the past few weeks, questions have been asked about the absence of a "youth community calendar", I think II warrants an explanation. Traditionally, Omaha's Jewish youth groups were represented on a Jewish Youth Council whose purposes included many lof(y ideals. ' The truth of Die matter is that Youth Council did not functioned in accordance with those ideals. The sole item of business at each meeting, regardless a( the countless programs and projects which could have been planned in the spirit of Council's constituted purposes and responsibilities, was the "calendar." Nine individual' youth groups battling over a few available dates each month. As the disharmony among these groups grew, it became apparent that an effective Youth Council was DO .loriger possible. The Omaha Jewish Youth CSiBfctt became inoperative. Hence the absence of a "calendar." Whether or not there remains the absence of a Council depends on )iow important its revival is to our afOliated youth. Whether it can function in the proper spirit oiKe revived is, of course, also dependent on our youth. Do you want an Omaha Jewish Youth Council? Is one needed here? Can you find a

Uttar-i MteiTtw following mini book reports were prepared by memben of Mrs. Norman WhiUnan'i 6th and 7th grade clasae* at Temple Israel. Although the library at the Jewish Community Center is temporarily closed in preparation (or the move to the new Center building, the books reviewed by the Temple students will be available to other young readers when the library reopens at the new JCC. [ laataallTawaaKMWeattoShal-by ; Ben Degtschman in pp. ^ This book is a combination of facU of . Jewish learning and funny Jewish ex', pressions. It is made up of many dlfj fereqt short stories. I really like comedy and this Is a funny f book. In the first story, lay, a Jewish boy about 12, and some of his friends went (o the mikveh in their shul and used it as a swimming pool when women weren't in it (completely naked, like you 'Should.) One day all four boys were In the "pool", and a soon-to-be-wed girl ' and her mother came into the mikvah "In full nakedness." Well, I won't go into detail about anything, but everyone froze and the story ended. (Nice way to end a story!) The author uses a lot of words I have .Mver seen before, but then he tells you the meaning of eat:h word. A good Jewish book should have special Jewish f^meanhig. It can also have one main 'Jewisti person or family. Ben Deut\ schman tells about all kinds of Jewish 'Uving - "the rich living, how it was In
tihe iiW's " \
This book was truly enlertalnful. The name may drive many people away i b«c«.use it sounds likes it's a story about ; shul or something kind of boring like that, but it's really very funny. I Reviewed by CariCoha
A Papa Like Every( Eke by Sydney Taylor IW pp. This book is about a Jewish family living in Czechoslovakia. The father has gone away to America to find a better life for his family, but things always seemed to stop him from sending for them. This story is about the pain and aorrow of this family, also of their happiness. The author used more description than dialogue, but she didn't use it in a boring way. I feel she is very easy to read. She uses some Czechoslovakian and Hungarian terms, but in a way you can understand. This Is definitely a Jewish book because the characters, th^ events, even the author is Jewish! I would definitely recommend it because It Is very smooth reading and enjoyable. Reviewed by SkeUy MoskoviU Debwtili. the Woman Who Saved Israel - by Juanita N Jones and James B. McKendry 125 pp. This book is about Deborah and her adventures in the desert, the people she met, and how she saved Israel. The book was easy reading; the vocabulary wasn't hard at all. The authors did not use very much description. They were fair storytellers. I recommend it especially for younger Uds. Reviewed by DavWPeeMer
Israel; The Reality — by Cornell fcapa 196 pp. ' Tbtiigs that Have happened and are happening in Israel, such as the 1967 war, immigration from Germany, et cetera are what this book is all about. The moat interesting fact I Jeamed was that a 4-acre Jewlih cemet^y mii bombed for no reason at all. 1 would recommend this book to
anyone over 8 who is interested in Israel. The vocabulary is not hard, il is easy to read, and there is a tot of action. Reviewed by Mike Greenberg Path Beneath the Sea - by Devorah Omer in pp. Taboul Cohen moved from his home in Morocco to Israel. He got to Israel by being a stowaway on a ship. All his relatives and friends were in Morocco, but he was stubborn. He had always loved the sea, so when he got to Israel, he decided to become a frogman. Except for the names of the people in it, this book was very easy to read. I think it Wfs interesting the way the author described some of the war scenes in the Six-Day War. Taboul insisted that he wanted to go where his Jewish ancestors lived even if lie had to do something against the law to get there. It was a very good book, and I'd recommend it to boys and girls alike. Reviewed by Scott Veltzer Five Voung Heroes of Israel — by Shoshanna Spector Five young Uds - Moshe, Hanna Carmi, Meir, and Shoshanna — live in Israel, and this book is about their experiences in the kibbutz where they lived. They all want Israel to be a better country, and they are loyal to their land. I liked the author's writing style. It is pretty easy to read, and I really think it is a very good book Reviewed by Debbie Schnelderman Emma i^iarui - by Eve Meriam Emma Lazarus was a fantastic woman.

NEW YORK, (JTA) - A Brooklyn taxi driver was awarded tU,81B in damages and compensation from Trans-World Airlines on grounds that anti-Semitic bias was responsible for his dismissal from a prabaUonary job with TWA at Kennedy Airport in ItW. In ordering the airline to pay the amount, the City Commission on Human Rights conteded that Malcolm Rattner 27, a Vietnam war veteran, was fired "because of his religion." ATWA spokesman called the ruling "ludicrous" and said the airline would appeal. The Commission, In Its ruling, rejected TWA's contention that Rattner was fired because his work as a ramp serviceman was "unsatisfactory." "He was subjected to a deliberate
compaign of ^rassment by company officials which included his being forced to work in areas where vile antiSemitlc graffiti known to his superiors were in evidence," the Commission said in its ruling. It also stated that KOOO of the total damages awarded was to compensate Rattner for "humiliation, outrage and mental anguish." According to Rattner, who now drives a cab for a living, his troubles with TWA began when he asked for a day off on Yom Kippur.
