JERUSALEM, (JTA) - Immigration to Israel in 1976 amounted to about 20,000 roughly the same as In 1975, but the sources of immigration, changed somewhat, reflecting unstable political, economic and social conditions in certain countries, according to Uzi Narkls, director general of the Jewish Agency's Immigration department.

My first week as editor of the Jewish Press went by smoothly, much less hectic than I had anticipated. The reason for this is the effort put forth by Judith Marburg who has been acting editor since last July./ With Judy's continuing assistance as associate editor, we look forward to producing the best possible newspaper for the Jewish communities we serve. In order for us to fulfill our expectations, we need your help. Let us hear from you. By telephone, mail, or a personal visit. We want your comments, your ideas and your labor, if you enjoy writing, photography, illustrating, or just plain kibbitzing, there's a place for you as a volunteer. The open door to the Jewis Press is open. In the weeks to come, don't be a stranger.

Israel, runt Israel elections and sits in t h e Israel parliament. Rakah maintains the closest of relations with Moscow, Its members are welcomed there, and Russians attend the party functions here — all this though the USSR has no diplomatic relations with the Israel Government. It should be added here that in almost all Arab lands Communist parties are banned altogether. For years the Arab vote in Israel was fairly conservative. Community leadership was in the hands of a few big families, or old-line political bosses who could always be counted on to swing large blocs of votes. Their strength has gradually been whittled down through the years as a result of education and the example of Israel democracy. Two years ago, In special municipal elections, the Commuist party for the first tune gained control of the Nazareth City Hall. It has been preparing ever since for the national poU. The Party is in a position to capttaliie on every element of Arab unrest. The more saber rattling on the other side of the border, the more encouragement to Arab voters here to support the Communists whose appeal is directly to Arab n a t i o n a l i s m a n d chauvinism.

Jew&Qie In Quake NEW YORK, (JTA) - At least U Jew* are known to have perished in the earthquake which devastated Rumania, according to Rabbi Arthur Schneier,' spiritual leader of the Park East Synagogue, who received this information in call from Dr. Moses Rosen Chief Rabbi of 'Rumania. Tn a d d i t i o n , t h r e e synagogues In Bucharest were badly damaged and two synagogues in Krayova, some ISO miles southeast of Bucharest, were completely demolished, Rosen told Schneier. Some Passover food supplies were also destroyed when the warehouse in which they w e r e stored was demolished. An effort to replace the supplies is now underway. Schneier, who is also the president of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, said that among the 11 Jews known so far to have been killed were three Intellectuals surnamed Prof. Marcu and earthquake, Rosen reported, left many Jewish families without homes. Rosen said it might be days before all the Jews who perished in Bucharest and other cities could be found and identified among the estimated 750 bodies found so far. There Is also thought to be many Jews among the reported 5645 injured, nearly half of them seriously. It is believed that the final death toll will be between 1000 and 2000 in Bucharest alone. Schneier said that Rosen (old him that the main synagogue in Bucharest, the Choral Synagogue, though badly damaged was used for Sabbath services. Four Jewish community buildings in Rumania's capital were also totally destoryed. Those synagogues that were not too badly damaged will be used as temporary housing quarters for Jews who lost their homes. Meanwhile, the Jewish community of Bucharest was assured by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee of any special assistance it may need as a result of last weekend's earthquake.

Since the earthquake, the JDC-supported c o m m u n a l k i t c h e n In Bucharest served more people than It usually does. In 1975 when Rumania was Inundated by devastating floods, the JDC donated funds for general relief, Weiler noted. Five years before that, he added, the JDC also contributed funds for flood relief. Aid From Israel In Tel Aviv, the Red Magen David was busy collecting and packing medications urgently needed In Rumania according to a list received from that country. The material is being flown to Bucharest by El Al and Tarom, the Rumanian state airline. It includes antityphoid and anti-cholera vaccines, hypodermic needles, and various medical*.Instruments, surgical tools, dietary foods for diabetics and baby food. (A special fund has been started by the Association of Rumanian Immigrants, headed by ltzhak Koren, which opened a bank account to deposit cash contributions. Special efforts are being made to send Passover foods and clothing to Rumania in time for the holiday which begins April- 2.

The Ill-timed revelation in The Washington Post that King Hussein of Jordan, along with other rulers of lands in Asia, Africa and Latin America, had received many millions from the CIA over the last 20 years, prejudices the achievement of a Middle East peace. The story broke the day Secretary of State Vance arrived in Jordan for talks with Hussein. Extreme PLO elements, who have hated Hussein since he expelled them In the bloody 1970 war, greeted the disclosures as confirmation of the traditional radical accusation that the United States has always shored up conservative and "reactionary" rulers in order to repel social change. It will heighten the PLO's demands for independent participation In the peace negotiations and Its attempt to secure, at the very least, a PLO state In the West Bank and Gaza which, many fear, would become a Sovietbacked base against Syria, Jordan and Israel. Lately, Sadat has Indicated opposition to the PLO as a separate entity entitled to inherit a ready-made Palestinian state, preferring instead federation between Jordan and the West Bank, a formula applauded by Israeli spokesmen. On his lour, Secretary of State Vance discovered that all the parties proclaim their desire for "peace," although they differ In their translation of the concept. We hope he came to realize that the major problem is not the Inducement of the PLO to reconcile Itself to Israel's existence, but to ascertain whether the Arab states are really ready to accept Israel's right to exist. Once that Is established, the future of the West Bank can be resolved. Apart from Saudi Arabia, which has been demanding that the United States recognize the PLO as the Palestinians' spokesman, moderate Arab leaders lately have been renominating Hussein as the logical heir to

(he disputed area. West Bank, Arabs have been ambivalent toward Hussein and, while many would prefer a peaceful life in a Jordanian-West Bank federation, they resent Hussein because he neglected the West Bank during Jordan's 19year administration. And now they have a new reason to distrust him, The disclosure of CIA largess questions the validity of secret payments to strongmen, for many of them were eventually eliminated in radical resurgence. The Soviet Union, rather than the United States, prospered in most of the countries which our leaders had hoped to link with the West. Most Congressmen favor aid to countries which help people to a higher standard of living, but there is bound to be a critical reaction to secret subventions to embroider the life style of kings and prime ministers. Would The Post have printed the expose of U.S. beneficence to Hussein 20 years ago, when the CIA was sacrosanct and totally unmentionable? Back in 1961, the Near East Report learned that the CIA was financing the pro-Arab American Friends of the Middle East in this country, laundering funds through the Chicago-based Dearborn Foundation — which existed only on paper. We were dismayed by Jhe discovery, but hesitated, at first, to publish the story. We complained to the White House and the Department of State. Conceivably the CIA could have argued that the money was needed to finance branch offices In Arab countries which could become listening posts and was not intended to finance anti-Israel propaganda over here. However, the organization at that time was one of the most active antiIsrael agencies tn the United States. After the veil of secrecy which shrouded the CIA's operations had been pierced by a number of books, the Near East Report broke - the story In 1964. It was picked up by The Nation and later by Ramparts,

Christian and Jewish were more interested In the lifestyle of Israeli youth rather than the heavier Issues of the Mideast struggle. "The kida asked us what we did for sports and entertainment, how we liked our Jeans and T-shirts, and basically Just what t e e n a g e r s everywhere are Interested in," said Yanlv. Sarit pointed out that American students could relate in practically every way with the Israelis except one: "The American student plans for college or work experience after graduation from high school while we are faced with required military service."

Accept Jewish Feminist Movement Argues Instructor from Seminary (Continued from Page 1) Institutions of Conservative Judaism, are debating and arguing the issue." Mra. Lerner points out that Conservative Judaism has granted substantial rights to women from its earliest years. This trend has been markedly Increased in the past five years, she continues. "The Women's League for Conservative Judaism, the United Synagogue of America . . . , the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly, and the Jewish Theological Seminary all moved In varying degrees toward a recognition of the merits of the feminist demand for increased women's righto." Women Counted The most dramatic instance of such change, Mrs. Lerner explains, was the M decision of the CJLS in September 1973 stating that women could be counted equally with men in the minyan. This followed a previous decision that women could be called to the Torah for allyot. These decisions were not binding on rabbis or congregations, and there is a wide diversity now among Conservative groups as to their acceptance in practice, the author states. She points out that replies to

a 1975 questionnaire indicated that almost 90 per cent of Conservative synagogues granted women aliyot and 37 per cent counted them in the minyan. Significantly, she adds, most congregations that had made such changes in their practices had done so since 1973,

indicating that the "minyan decision" had triggered a substantial change in practice. The booklet also surveys the changes that have taken place in the Jewish communal structure to accommodate feminist demands for recognition. In-

eluded among such changes, the author points out, is the e s t a b l i s h m e n t - by the American Jewish Committee of a National Committee on the Role of Women and the establishment by B'nai B'rlth of co-ed units. Summarizing the reactions or organized American Jewry to the feminist movement, Mrs. Lerner declares that many p e r c e i v e d it as "threatening, overly strident and destructive.

By David Lauras < Surely some of our Old Tuners have read* Dostoievsky's "Crime and Punishment" Our speaker, Donald "Pinky" Khowles, who is Douglas County Attorney, led us through the labyrinths of activities and duties of the men in his office. He traced for us the frightening growth of drug addiction tn our city, through all strata of our society. Did you know that only a tew years ago, Douglas County needed little more than onefourth of the legal staff they now employ? This is because of the mushrooming Increase hi crime m our area. (One of the members, surely tongue In cheek, remarked that If the County would reduce the legal staff back to that one-fourth size, perhaps we'd also reduce the amount of crime? . . . he must have been Joking). Dostoievsky's Roskolnlkov may have had tils problems, but they seem almost insignificant compared with our own. Evidently we can't decrease the spread of crime — surely we can be wise enough to devise a suitable system of punishment. A society, lite any individual living organism, must succeed in adjusting to changes in its en-

vironment, or else it perishes. The pride of Council Bluffs, Sam "Sacks, sang the Motzi; the gentleman from Beth El, our own Alex Kati, chanted the benshlng.

City Councilman. With her face be would win easily. Well Max, we hope it is only your bottled products that fia!!! The second assembly at trie Open Forum proved to be more successful than the first. Surely that has to be because the attendees are beginning to l o o s e n . u p and throw themselves more easily into the cross currents of debate. Practically every other function and activity of our meetings involves the members being talked to, performed for, served by. We don't have to lift a finger — everything is done for us. Yetzt, kamm derlebt, we have an excellent spring-board for self-expression in the Open Forum. Surely after a lifetime of six or more decades, every one of us has garnered enough experiences, and has Ideas, views, opinions. The Open Forum gives to each man the opportunity to stand and speak out. Talk about audience participation! All the world becomes our stage, each man plays his part, and speaks his mind. Nu, so who needs Shakespeare? Vee zawgt men "gung ho" in Yiddish? That's how the men fee! about Open Forum. No small debt of thanks is due to the excellent chairing of the Open Forum by the erudite and subtle Bob Lovett. We discoursed lengthily on The Life and Times of Idl Amln, (er Is gerotten In Hitler), the rise and fall of the British Empire, a quickie assay of the revived American Nazi Party, and a Joyous element of humor was injected by Morrie KaU, that old sitdown comic. We closed the meeting on Morrie's Jewish jokes. He promises to bring more next time. An unvoiced feeling was present in all the members.

Their great majority nave settled on small moshavin (agricultural settlements) such as Mesllat Zlon (The Road to 2ion), where Reuven lives.

Cheap Roses Flow To Airport BONN, (JTA) - German and Dutch flower growers have expressed alarm at massive imports of cheap Israeli roses. Daily flights of Israeli fruit and flower-laden Jumbos started arriving at Cologne Airport late last year. By the end of this winter,

Just One Left NEW YORK <JTA> Eugene K. Bird, the former American director of Spandau prison in Berlin, believes that its last remaining Inmate, former No. 2 Nazi Rudolf Hess, now 82, should be released. Hess should be freed not only on humanitarian grounds but because "the prison costs about $415,000 a year to run . . . as many as 105 people may be on duty each day — to take care of one prisoner. It is a ridiculous figure," Bird said in an interview with "To the Point International," an English-language magazine published fortnightly in Antwerp, Belgium.

Israel will have sold about 50 million roses to Europe, and this figure is expectedtodouble next winter. The Europeans say their roses, cost about eight cents apiece to grow, but Israeli roses, inspite of air fright costs, are being soldtowholesalers at a "fraction of this." In fact. German ' flower sellers are not passing on this cost advantage to their customers on Europe's biggest flower market. Roses, whatever their origin, costabout24 centsto40 cents each retail, An even bigger headache for" flower growers is resulting from carnations from Kenya and Colombia which,, unlike the Israeli flowers, blossom all year round. The German F l o w e r Growers Association has-told its members there is nothing it can do. It recommends that they switch to growing more exotic flowers which, unlike roses and carnations, cannot be transported long distances.
