JERUSALEM (JTA>-The government announced substantial Increases in the prices of 14 basic commodities, foodstuffs, fuel and energy and public transportation. At the same time, the Pound underwent another devaluation and now stands atlL7.52to$l. The price hikes are a direct result of cutbacks in government subsidies that were decreed for economy reasons. A 25 per cent ceiling w?3 placed on price Increases pt the insistence of Hlstadrul Economists estimate that the new prices will increase the consumer price index by 4tS per cent. Israelis will be paying: 14.7 per cent more fqr gasoline; 25 per cent more for bread; 20-25 per cent more tor milk and cheese: and 20 per cent more for frozen meat and poultry. Electric bills will go up 5 per cent and public transportation by 25 percent.

We believe that law should and must be obeyed. It is not our intention to substitute our judgments for the elected school board officials who have the difficult task of respgndingtothecourfBrequirements. . >' Our purpose is tounake dear whit we believe to be the moral obligation which, rests upon the entire Omaha community: to work peacefully, co-operatively and diligently for a program of educational excellence in this city, one in which every child is assured of the best educational experience possible, and in a school system which is in compliance with our American Constitution. While the busing oi students has become a very controversial matter, it seems clear that, in keeping with the order of the Circuit Court of Appeals, it will become necessary to transport students to other schools. As this occurs, we would urge that an segments of our community work co-operatively for its efficient and peaceful acceptance. We believe the lessons of other communities are dear. In those communities where cool heads have prevailed and where a commitment to educational opportunity for all children has been demonstrated, the transition has been peacefully achieved, and the community has <nniinued to progress. We want Omaha to be just such a community; a community where the law is respected, where citizens work together for orderly, peaceful change and where excellent educational opportunities can continue to be assured (or all of our children. THEREFORE, The Jewish Federation of Omaha Board of Directors supports the goals expressed by Concerned Citizens for Omaha.

A Business And investment

hi The future ByBARBARASMON Camp Esther K. Newman is sunshine and fun. Judaism and campfIres, community living and life In the woods. It is also a service of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, a business, and an investment In the future. The Federation supports Camp Newman with a $16,400 subsidy. It believes, says former Camp Chairman Bob Newman, that "a camp is one of the Institutions that each community of Jews should have—like clubs, centers, social groups—which maintains and promotes Jewish identity and closeness." Host professional educators agree that the in-depth living i that Camp provides to the ideal setting to "softteach" not only skills in sports and outdoor activities, but also bumanevahieiandJewlshattltudestowardUIe. A. Richard (Dik) Weiner, father of two Newman campers and present chairman of the Camp Committee, says: "We have this fantastic *45O,00O-$5Q0,000 facility. We're so fortunate to have it here, in a town of our size. There's nothing else like It for 700 miles around. I just want everyone to know what we have, to come out to see it, and send their kids for a great summer experience." He adds: "When I was a camper at the old Camp JCC, I teamed most of my Judaism at camp. I had so much fun and the atmosphere was so decent—such a nice blend of Judaism and fun." Since 1963, Camp Newman has served about 1,200 young people during the summer. In the last five years it has served annually between 1,200 and 1,500 people of all ages In summer camp as well as In weekend retreats, meetings and conferences. As an agency of the Jewish Federation, Camp Newman receives some portion of the dollars contributed to Philanthropies. In fact, Federation leaden feel that the camp experience U so Important that financial aid is available to families who would like their children to attend Camp, but who feeltheycamwtaffordthetultlon. Whatever the reason, applications for Federation financial assistance can be made In confidence to Bob Litvak, Camp director. , : The financing of. Camp Esther K. Is an intricate business, with themanagement and budget details of any other enterprise. Over $100,000 comes into the Camp from tuition, Philanthropies, rental of the Camp to other groups, contributions and canteen sales. The largest expenditures are salaries .(counselors, kitchen staff, iH*|"*'ilt!rf*1<ni, medical F^wff, xT">^nt*nfnr*' and office people), $48,000; groceries, $20,500; occupancy of buildings and grounds (payments to Findlavs, office space rental at the JCC, utilities, care of buildings, maintenance of equipment) $18^00; Insurance and tares, $5,400; and supplies, $8,000. Other smaller expenses put the outlay over the $100,000 mark. With good management and good camp enrollment, the expenses stay within the income. It's an expensive business, yet one which no one who loves children and values a Jewish iuiure for cur community would begrudge. What of the future of Camp Esther K. Newman—Its potential significance to the Jewish community and its future As a nloce wher» QmBha-oree Jews e s s get tsgsthsr snd live—for a weekend or for several weeks—Camp Newman offers unlimited potential. Bob Newman and Dik Weiner, along with Litvak and others, agree that fuller use of the site Is one of the major goals of the FederatloaCamp Committee. Weiner would like to see Older Adults enjoy this wooded setting for programs, recreation and fellowship. Litvak and Newman note the national trend toward family camping—a week or a weekend when families come out to learn, play and eat together. As many as 30 families could be there at one time, more if some bring campers or tents. Adult retreats, when values and life problems are eiammwl In Intensive sessions, is another potential use. According to Litvak, a Jewish camp is one excellent piece tor the Jewish young people !o ponder the proWess of adult Ills. Such probing is one of the main goals of the summer camping program. And re-examining values and re-affirming Jewish consciousness is one of the goals of the projected adult, older-adult, and family camping programs. "For children as well as adults," Litvak says, "the fun and recreation Is mixed in with the larger aim of helping people (Continued on Page 5)

Davey's Bo/d Humor Never fs Intended to Hurt ByRkhardPeari OMAHA-An Omaha banker, seeking respite from the labor of moving his bank to a new location a few years ago, instead found himself the target of the needling wit of comedian-pianist Davey Bold. The bank coincldentally had been the object of holdups and Bold, taking note of the pending move, ribbed the banker with, "Don't worry, they'll find you." The needling was typical Bold—a teasing barb that is offered only in good fun. "I would never knowingly hurt anybody's feelings," said the veteran entertainer who was one of the pioneers of the piano-and-patter program found In many lounges today. In Davey Bold's case, the lounge to in Ell Caniglla's Venice Inn Restaurant. Bold first was booked there for a four-week stint 12 years ago. "Now Canlglla just asks me how long do I want to stay," said Bold, who to averaging seven months per year there now. His current stint runs through August. A former night club owner himself as well as an actor who's appeared on stage and in movies, Davey Bold prefers ad-lib comedy to the set routine because "It's less boring." He gets most of bis humor by reading a city's newspapers. But he stays away from "heavy political humor", jokes about narcotics and thine that put down religion. "It's a safer way to do It and you don't hurt anybody," be says. The Bold One, who blends risque humor with the teasing and who is usually accompanied by a female singer, has been In show business nearly 40 years. "The older I get, the better I communicate, with people— the more I am tolerant of hecklers, because they may have problems," says Davey, who turned S3 on May 16. His sense of humor, be says, came from his parents, Russian Jewish Immigrants who settled on Chicago's West Side where Davey was bom and reared. His father, who sewed the curtains /or Chicago's big vaudeville theaters of the l U r s , also loved to stag and Davey sang with him in a Chicago synagogue choir. Bold, a polio victim In childhood, taught himself piano as an outlet for his energies and found himself, at age 16, playing for 12 hours a day snd 515 a week in Chicago saloons, m was very sny, he recalls, but be had a good musical ear and learned many songs by listening to the saloon patrons hum them.

Proposal for Israel to Change Its Tactics

Response In America to UwTSrinefease back on Jan. 7 was inadequate. A followup is needed urgently. Nebraskans and Iowans must write their Congressmen and Senators to protest what toe Soviet authorities are WYEABSYOUNG doing. A. peculiar fate seems to There's very little time left. We have to keep afootin overtake those who pioneer in the Soviet Union's door. various forms of endeavor.

The weakness of this policy, Harkabi says, Is that in the realities of the Arab world there are only hawks. The doves are but a product of the wishful thinking of the Israeli Idealists who, by their internal criticism of the Israel government, give the world the jimpwyttm that It is we who are obstacles to peace in theMJddleEast. . The second policy program goes to the other extreme. Under this policy, since there are no Arab Intentions to make peace, Israel cannot compromise, withdraw or yield up any position of strategic Importance, geographic or political. We can withstand any pressures from anyone, and in the end the Arabs will have to reconcile themselves both to our existence and to our continued occupation of lands. Our stand may be right in our own eyes, but it is losing us the support of the world, comments Harkabf. Fur-

thermore, such supreme confidence is not warranted. Harkabl proposes a realistic policy dictated by the tactical needs of the moment. We acknowledge to ourselves that the Arab attitude Is indeed hawkish and extremist, but this need not be met by Israel extremism. A policy of flexibility on our part can produce favorable results. Zionism has traditionally been tolerant. We never dreamt of banishing the Arabs or conquering their lands. It was this tolerance, misinterpreted as weakness, that triggered off Arab extremism which boomeranged and brought about firtuMlrtiitwt oftbeSUteoflsraeL Pressures on Israel will continue. We should be prepared to be reasonable, and let the Arabs ruin their own case in the eyes of the world by their extremism. Today the situation is reversed; they have convinced the world that it is they who are peace-loving,

whereas Israel Is a brutal conqueror. This is not a matter of Improving our Information program overseas. If we have had a P. R. failure It has not been due to a Daw In our policy. All the explaining will not popularize what the world will not accept The trouble Is, concludes Harkabi, that whereas there are political parties and organized groups hi Israel dedicated to cseh of the twe extremes, there Is no organization to press for adoption of the tactical policy which he advocates. He feels that If courageous leadership in the Israel government were to chart such a course and skillfully navigate the ship of state accordingly, even the two extremes would find in it elements which would command their support This Is not the time to fix final strategies, but it Is the time to plan tactics wisely.
