In other developments, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee was asked by Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D.,Wash.) to scrutinize the $77 million contract let by the defense Department to a private California company to train Saudi Arabian troops. At tte same Ume, tte Jewlih Telegraphic Agency learned that "a real proUem" would arise If tte contract did not contahi tte standard clauses in all government agreements regarding equal rigbts and opportunity for employment for all Americans. This element Is considered of paramount Importance now that American universities and business concerns are seeking contracts with Arab governments and may be restrained from employing American Jews because of discrimination being enforced by Aratw. The contract with the Vinnell Corp, of Los Angeles authorizes training of the Saudi National Guard and is believed the first agreement ever made with a private American company to train a foreign army. The firm was swamped Tuesday with applications from men seeking Jobs with the 1,000-man training force. Also In Washington, the U.S. State Department was reported giving "serious consideration" to seeking entry hilo the United States for about 2,000 Soviet Jews hi Rome.

An Israeli Family In'48;
After All This, There Were Matzohs By Roae Hoffman They came separately - he from a small town In Germany, she from a Jewish orphanage In Berlin — and built for themselves a new life In an old land. Thus Hanna Ferman, wife of Des Moines Jewish Welfare Federation Executive Director Dr. Gerald Ferman, recalls her family's history, a history that spans three generations, that witnessed brael's re-birth and struggle to survive - a history that, despite the hardshlpii of the past, continues to unfold. Hanna's father, Julius Behrend, a young Social Democrat in the 1930's, wrote against Hitler and was arrested and Imprisoned. But friends somehow smuggled him from prison and In February of 193S, he arrived In Palestine and Joined the ChafeUChayiimklbbuU Ibat BUM year, MenrMta Sioid arraagMl ior Prtda, a young ebOd paycfaoioglBt, to •ccaopany tto flrat group irf or pbans from Berltai to tte "Abavab" orpbanagt tai Afulah.

The couple left the kibbutz and were married, but not before their rabbi, pitying them because they'd left everything in Germany, hired a carpenter to make a few crude pieces of furniture lor their new hone. Behrend found a Job as a Janitor in a small private school,
but Hanna recalls he was more than that to the children, who came to him with their troubles and addressed him as "Herr Director." Hanna was bom in 1938, her twin brothers, YosI and Asher, a year later. War broke out In Euni^, but communications continued between the Behrends an(nhelr families In Germany for several years. Then tragedy struck. Freda learned of her parents' death In Hamburg In 1942 from starvation In a Nazi-imposed ghetto area closed off from food and other supplies. Julius' parents, aided by friends, remained In hW-ing until 1944 when they escaped to Denmark, not realizing that It, too, was Nazi-occupied. They were captured and sent to their deaths at Auschwitz. Julius and Freda cooUnued working In tte private school after the war ended, being blessed bi 1946 with another daughter, Naomi. The years that followed were harsh and turbulent. Behrend and his wife attended night classes In the old Arabic house which they occupied - but the classes were not English classes as was assumed; they were firearms training sessions. Weapons attached to ropes were lowered and stored wilhbi the shaft of a water well Iruide the house; such secrecy was necessary to avoid detection by British spies. (Continued on Page 9)

Jewish Quiz Box! BjrRabMDr.SmMlJ.Faot QUMTiON: WhatnahnriMaPuriinT ANSWER: Some communities used to celebrate Purim on the Uth day of the month Adar, Uistead of on the 14th day such as we do. Therefore, Jews llvbig in cities that were considered to have been walled tai the days of Joehua, observe the Festival of Purim a day later. This Is traced from the Biblical Book of Esther whars It Is told that the Jews of the capital city of Shusban, bi the days of Esther, oberved Purim on the 16th day of Adv becauie tb^r had not yet fhilahed wrestling with the enemy on the Uth. Therefore, today the city of Jerusalem observes the holiday of Purim on the ISth day of Adar. Jews elsewhere observe the holiday o( Purim on the Uth day of Adar; but, since Purim Is officially celebrated In Jerusalem on the iSth, Jews all over the world observe the iSth day as a sort of semi-holiday called "Shushan Purim." Actually, therefore, In Israel those who want to have a twoday holiday can celebrate Purim outside of Jerusalem on the Uth and then go to Jerusalem to celebrate It again on the ISth. QUMTIOW: What li Purim KatanT ANSWER: A problem comes up when there Is a leap year on the Jewish caleivlar, since in a leap year the month of Adar Is doubled. In such a case Purim is observed in the second Adar, since tradition has it that the original incident occurred In the second Adar. However, since the Uth of the month of Adar is considered a festival day, the Uth day of the first Adar brings a spirit of festivity, even though the details of Purim such as the reading of the Megiilah, etc., are postponed to the second Adar. Purim of the first of Adar on a leap year is, therefore, called Purim Katan (the miniature Purim).

I admit It ladly: 1 led threatened For the first time in many yetra I fee) that I am In danger For the first time in my adult Ufe I am afraid that the nightmare nnay start all over again, or that it has never ended, that since IMS we have lived in parentbeaes Now they are doaed. Could the Hotoeuaat happen again? Over the year* I have often put the question to my young studenU And they, con ilstently, have answered yes, while I said no. I saw it as a unique event that would remain unique I believed that If mankind had learned anything from it, it was that hate and murder reach beyvnd the direct participanU; he who logins by killing tdMn, Intheend wUl kill his own. Without Auschwitz, HiroctalinawMild not have been possible The murder of one people Inevitably leads to that of mankind. In my naivete 1 thought, especially in the Immediate postwar period, Jews would never again be singled out, handed over to the executioner. That anti-Semitism had received its deathblow long ago, under the fiery skies of Poland. I was loroehow convinced that - paradoxically - man wouW be shielded, protected by the awesome nnystery of the Event. I was wrong What banwDBd onc«, could happen again. Perhaps I am exaggerating. Per1ia|)* I am ovenenslUve. But then I belong to a traunwtlzed generation. We have learned to take threats more seriously than promises.

For those of us who have lived and endured the human and Jewish condition In Its ulUmale depth know; at this turning point in hUtory, the Jewish people and the Jewish Stale are Irrevocably linked; one cannot survive without the other. As a community, we have rarely been so united. Ar»d never so alone. And so, the idea of another catastrophe is no longer un thinkable. I say It reluctanUy. In fact, It is the first time 1 say it. I have chosen until now to place the Holocaust on a mystical or ontological level, one that defies language and transcends Imagination. I have quarreled with friends who built entire Ibevies and doctrines on an event which, in my view, U not be be Med or approached casually. If I speak of it now. It la only bacauM of my realizatkw that Jewish survival is being recalled hiio question. Hence the fear In me. AU of a sudden, I am too much fwninded of past experiences. The enemy growing nnore and more powerful, more and more popular The aggreadvencM of the blackmailers, the permissiveness of some leaders ami the total aUbmiMiveneai of others. The overt threats. The complacency and diffidence of the bystanders. I feel as my father must have felt when he was my age.

Trees Play Major Role in Israel HAIFA - The planting of trees In Israd has always had an appeal to young and old alike. There has been something sentimental, even dramatic, in the thought that a temler sapling set tai the ground in honor of a friend or relative, would In a few years be a tovwring monarch of the forest. Groves, woods, entire forests made passible by generous donors, have covered bare hillsides and provided shade and beauty to the Israel landscape. The role of the tree, as an indlscrimlnale blessing, is now being called Into question. The Israel Water OommlMinn and the Sou Ooneervatlon Service claim that large areu of woodland are guilty of
consuming enormous amounts of water which would otherwise find their way into the underground aquifers and repleniah the natural water resources. Tbey cite a research project wbfcb baa been conducted in aeleded parte of the country lor the past six years. The atudy ibows that a forest evaporates tiack into the air more than twice the amount of water than grassland over a similar area. nw bwcrllks km •*• mtttod a ptaB to HM HtaMiT of ArfcoHve caDtag tor tiM qpraith« at abnort UO,m acTM of natural woodtood ta Ow eoBbvl and northam parti «f brail, and tarieiiiadag Oia •----!

Response Is Slow OMAHA-Tbe early reapome to the appeal for signatures from Nebraskans and lowans protesting the UNESCO r^lection of Israd was slower than organizers expected. Only about 35 persons bad signed and mailed bi tbe protest blank provided by The
Jewish Press tai lU Feb. 7 issue. Another » had signed the sheets available at the Jewish Community Center. The reaolutkm was adopted by the Jewtoh Federatioa of Ontaha. It wlU be mailed to tbe United Nations this nvxith. It Is offered again this week for readen' convenience.
The Resolution WHEREAS, the United, Nationas Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has shamefully acted to exclude the State of Israel from participation In UNESCO activities and to withhold from Israel financial assistance for the country's museums, libraries and restorations; and WHEREAS, this blatanUy political action, based upon wholly unfounded claims of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Is a perversion of UNESCO's ideals of international cooperation and universality; and WHEREAS, leading scholars, writers, educators, artists and scientists throughout the world have registered their protests against these flagrant actions and have refused further collaboration with UNESCO until such actions are reversed; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Jewish Federation of Omaha hereby condemns the gross debasement of the spirit and purpose of UNESCO that results fron^tK recent actions of its delegates and calls upon fair-minded persons everywhere to voice their unequivocal protest of such unworthy actions and to seek their immediate rescission.

Some naturalists had long criticized the country's tree-planting policy on the grounds that the wrong trees were frequently planted in the wrong places. Economists had questhined tbe economic element, states the cosU of plantbig and maintaining foresU were far bi excess of any Income from timber. Trees had become a holy cow in Israel, and any criticism was always bowled down as being positively antiZionist. The authorities must now take a fresh look at the situation and determine which Is more important: maintainbig water resources and raUing beef for the evergrowing population — or preserving the charm and beauty of the landscape. This does not by any nMsna call for a cessation of treeplanttotg. It does mean (here should be more canfui sbidy than in the past u to whether It la in Uie best Interests of tbe country that certain areas should become woods, or cattle ranges. Tbe country has need of both. AWARD "L'Chalm - to Ufe!"

POBoxmsi UDeola,rMbrMka«601 DR. GOLDMANN'S COMMENTB As a long-standhig and avid student of (he Zionist Movement and (one who has been personally and Intimately Involved with 'Palestine and Israel for some decades, I read with keen intowt and pondered deeply on the nwiiage delivered bey Dr. Nahum Goldmann, brilliant and profound praaldent of the World Jewish Congress in Jerusalem on "The Jewish People Among theNatkms".
StarkmanDles MIAMI BEACH (JTA)Moihe Starkman, director of YlchMi publicity of the United Jewish Appeal and Fedeeration of Jewish Philanthropies Joint Campaign, died of a heart ailment at the Ml. Sinai Hospital. Starkman was 88 years old and retkksdUi New York. A former city editor of the now-defunct New York Ylddlstf dally, "Day-Moming Journal," Starkman was a past pietident of the Yiddish Pen Club, and at the lime of bis death was serving on the boaids of directors of YIVO, the Yiddish Scientific In•Utute, and the Jewish Culture CbngrcM.
With his superb comprehension of the newlyemerged world and Its problems and crises as It affects Jews all over the globe he delineated the Internal and external problems that face both Israel and the Jews In the Diaspora. He suggested, or rather, stressed among other things: "We have first of aU to reconskler and If possible to Improve our relations with the Communist and with the Third World, particularly because next to the survival of the State of Israel, the future of the millions of the Jews living In the Communist lands and in other parts of the world, particularly In South America, Is a major Issue we have to solve..." As one of the surpreme world Jewish leaders of our day and century, his views deserve Uie most serious and sustained consideration on the ruturc of Israel. HARRY O. MENDBXWN

Rabbi Abram Simon of the Congreagation of Israel said of Zionism In 1901: "Sentimentally tlie movement Is all right, but rationally the movement is not right. The Jew must fight his own battle where he is. (^Ionization on a large scale has proven a failure." A short time later he added: "The Zion movement Is Impractical and a dream. It Is a beautiful dream and the only dream (or centuries that has brought together millions of Jews under one family. Whatever we say against It, It has done much for us In seeing visons, and on our dreams depends the future of the Jew."

dew moiiiew iievrA^ jveetion Message From Rabbi tyBttMUmtMBmi In the buUding of tbe portable Sanctuary, tbe Ivaelites are commanded VjFfttfeH !•• Imnah, "tbey ibaU tak^ unto me an offering." Why does It lay take, and not give? Tbe Talmud, in tbe Tractate Chulin, itates, "The poiaenloni o( tbe righteous are mote dear to them than thetarownpcnont.*' In order to understand the above, we should recall the famous line that Jack Benny (AH.) made popular: "Your money or your life." Only an Individual who treasures his own posatMinns can have true regard for the poaacatom of others. Tbe pftodpie of ownership la so euct In Torah Ideology that the term "plagiarism" Is equally applicable to both tbe written and the spoken word. TMs Is 'evidenced by the curious declaration In the TracUte ICagiUah - Kd dowr b'AHn com Halab ratan — by offering credit to tbe author of the spoken word, a vertMl acknowledgment that a word Is not hilkir (free lor all), one refines the Ideal of ownership to such a degree that, if universally accepted, tbe iUngdom of God would Inhere oneartb. Tbe Gaon of Vilna offers a cryptic comment on why it says, "They shall take." "It Is written In Chronicles; 'For everything comes from thee, and from Thy hand have we given Thee." "The Intent is that as long as wealth is In tbe psiiaBiaa of a person, he does not know whether It is for good or for bad. If be merits to do good deeds with his money, then he knows that It is his. This, therefore, is the Intent of OH pMMge: "V'yikcbu lee tammah - they shaU take unto me an offertag." The purposive use of V'yikcbu now becomes clear. A true Tzaddik never "gives" charity; be reoeWes In tbe giving, for only Tzedakah, wbaUMT to biiUtutlons or tadMdttals, can truly verify and legitimize bis eariier daim of ownership.

Tabachnick Asks Cooperation In Parking Cars at Center OMAHA - Hy Tabachnick, executive director of the Jewish Community Center is asking the cooperation of JCC members in helping alleviale a parking problem. Due to Increased use of Center facilities, the front parking lot Is heavily used and the Metropolitan Area Transit buses have had difficulty comiog Into the lot And to the front door to pick up and deliver passengers. Because of this, MAT has threatened to discontinue bus service. In order to correct this situation, Tybachnick aaks that members use the rear parking lot, which will bring some users closer to the building and will free space in the front; park within the
marked staUs oolyj and don't park in stalls which are marked with "No Parking" signs. Many elderly people and some youngsters use the MAT buses to come to Center activities, he said, adding that, for many, it is their only means of transportation.
