Egypt Seeks Military Aid For "Defense" By Joseph Polakoft WASHINGTON, (JTA) The Egyptian government is asking the United States for 250-F-5 planes for delivery over the next five years. in addition Egypt seeks 12 Hercules transport aircraft, ground-to-air missiles and electronic equipment on the basis that she needs, "defensive" strength from the U.S. to offset the break in the arms pipeline from the Soviet Union. According to Capitol Hill sources, Saudi Arabia would pay the U.S. for the war-planes that are estimated at $10 million each, which would make the total cost approximately $2.5 billion Egyptian President Anwar Sadat has said at least three (Continued on Page 9)

LEST WE FORGET: American-born Jews know very little of their post-Biblical history. They know almost nothing of the mass — killing of Jews centuries ago in various parts of Western Europe. They have vague -taowiedge of the mass-slaughter of • Jews- by lbs Crusaders though they are better acquainted with the period of the Spanish Inquisition. But what do they know of the wiping out of more than 500 Jewish communities In Europe during the "Black Death" years 1348-51?... What do they know of the pogroms on Jews in France, Germany and other countries in the Middle Ages? How many Jews in this country know of the massburning of many thousands of Jews in the buildings of their synagogues in the 13th and 14th centuries in cities like Basel, Bern, Nuremberg, Brussels, Trent, where not - a single Jew was left alive? How many know that in those tragic years all Jews in Vienna had, at the advice of their rabbi, gathered In their synagogues where they committed mass-suicide? Such collective Jewish suicides also have taken place in Frankfurt, Worms, Oppenheim, and other cities, but what does the present generation of Jews in the United States know about this colossal massdestruction of Jews? How many American-born Jews know of the terrible Chmelnltsky pogroms on Jews in the Ukraine less than 400 years ago in which more than 100,000 Jews were massacred in hundreds of towns and villages. Chmelnltsky, the leader of those pogroms, is now a national hero in Soviet Ukraine and one of the main streets in Moscow — less than one minute's walk from Moscow's Great Synagogue — is named after him. How many of the present generation of American-born Jews know even of the notorious Petlura pogrom in the Ukraine that took place in 1919 — a matter of contemporary history — in which many thousands of Jews were slain? . . . Some Jews in this country still remember the three:day pogrom on Jews In Kishinev in Czarlst Russia in 1903, but what aobut the Czarist pogroms in Odessa, Kiev and other cities in the earlier years? And what about the 1905 pogroms in which Jews were pillaged and many of them murdered in COO places under the very eyes of the Czarist police? Who in America remembers them now? Who commemorates their memory? -

Just look about you and see how different are the names of today from those given to "the children of a generation age. Israel Is no exception. An expert in the subject might almost pinpoint the age of a person by identifying his name with the period in which that name was popular. The generation gap Is obvious. Run through a list of the members of the Cabinet and the Knesset. You will find names like Joseph, Isaac, Chalm, Jacob, Mordecai, David, Shimon, Shlomo, Menachem, Pinhas, Moshe, Israel, Abraham, Gideon, Yitzhak, Asher, Golda, Matilda

It is to be hoped that President Carter's unprecedented call to the United Nations General Assembly to enshrine human rights as a primary mission may Inspire a return to responsibilityJn.that body. And since the President was confessing our own shortcomings, perhpas the United States may resume the battle for human rights in its own foreign policy. We should remember the fervor which attended the birth of the UN at San Francisco 32 years ago; the struggle of American organizations to amend the UN Chart to focus attention on the promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Hitler had been defeated, and the victorious United Nations were assembled there in the hope that the world could be made safe from new demagogues and dictators. ' Tbe dream did not last for iong. Morality, we are often told, has nothing to do with foreign policy. It is "counterproductive" to determine our policies by moral standards, some say. And in many lands, a democratic United States has helped to bolster dictarial regimes, working under the illustion that friends can be bribed or bought. We are preoccupied with our national "interests," not ethical principles, and some sophisticated editorial writers have been Quick to warn Carter that this path is leading us Into inconsistency and Inconstancy. Democracy, which promises freedom and security for the individual, has been in retreat everywhere. War and revolution have bloodied many lands in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and all of us live in fear that mightly arsenals will suddenly shatter the universe. The Vfi has failed to preserve the peace, to slow the arms race, to protect innocent peoples from the ever-growing threat to their liberty and security. It has been manipulated

by the logrolling blocs to promote prejudice and hostility. Our own country is, In part, responsible for this failure. Despite our commitment to human rights, the United States has failed to ratify the genocide convention, voted in Paris in 1948. Carter has promised to try to remedy this anomaly. The Soviet Union has brazenly violated the Helsinki Accords. Its conduct towards Jews and dissidents grows harsher. In many countries freedom is a fable and innocent lives are brutally chopped away. Blacks and Jews are not the only victims. Christians have also been menaced. Uganda Is the most recent scene of anti-Christian terror, and the bloody civil" war between Maronlte Christians and Moslems in Lebanon continues to despoil and depopulate that land. Like the Jews and Christians, others are also treated as infidels, with whom there can be no peace. The list of infidels is a long one; the Armenians, massacred by Turks, Kurds and Syrians; the Assyrians in Iraq; the blacks in the Sudan; the Ibos in Biafra; the Copts in Egypt; and the Kurds hi Iraq, to mention just a few. What Is difficult to comprehend is passive indifference - the inability of a civilized world to act against these eruptions of violence. While six million' Jews were slaughtered by Hitler, it should not be forgot-, ten that many Christians were also liquidated by that pagan barbarism. Too many, both in Rome and Washington, were all too silent. Now the terror has come home to our own capital in th» recent Hanafi episode. And the UN? Confronted with terror, civil war and genocide, it has squandered most of its time adopting resolutions denouncing Israel and providing a platform for spurious tirades against the Jewish State. We hope that President Carter's UN speech will summon us all to our responsibilities to mankind, and that morality may be restored as a measurement of International conduct.

I lie* ediloi* (Continued from Previous Page) as a Jew nor as a Zionist, to be able to write profoundly and accurately Nupon either subject. Unfortunately Bellow cannot be considered exactly an expert in either field. His observation range is limited by his limited Jewish identification and sensitivity, and by his ability to ingest and comprehend qualities which are essentially Jewish, genetically and environmentally. It follows that his conclusions, as written in his book, would be sorely lacking in reliability. I did not find Stretcher's cartoons reviling Jews in Germany to be. funny. Neither did I find Bellow's supercilious attitude toward the young Chassid who shared his plane seat, nor toward the entire body of Chassldlm, to be even slightly more humorous. I do not accept the Chassldic discipline for my own life style — I am descended from Mlsnagdlm. But I don't think Chassidim are subjects for Bellow's shallow attempts at sltck Journalism and condescending humor. Judaism is the glue, the rivet, the weld that holds Jews together. To attempt to distinguish between them, and to separate them, is to destroy •

Through the past 2,000 years those Jews who rejected or disdained their own Judaism were lost. Those who clung to their Judaism are still here. We are descended from those, we are those, who recognize that it hot our genes which declare us as Jews, but our Judaism which sustains us. If you remove from us the Judaism glue, we fall apart in chaos — we become nothings. Remember our Judaism, and we will continue long after today's great empires ,and governments have rotted to forgotten dust. AM YISRAEL CHA1! David Lazrus Omaha

B//re/ Delights Crowds At Two JCC Songfests By David Lazarus Theodore Blkel appeared at the JCC Theater before two jam-packed bouses. The enthusiastic audiences came to see first class entertalnmnet, and no one was disappointed. The opening number, one of the wordless Chassfdtc nigunim, set the stage, and the minds, of the assembly. It would be superfluous to report here the names of the 17 brilliantly done songs Blkel chose, and then the demanded encore with which he concluded a scintillating program. But It would be remiss not to note the extraordinary range* of fields from which
Blkel, and his fine assistant, bass fiddle player, Bill Takas, chose their cornucopia harvest of melodies: Yiddish, English, Spanish, Russian, Hebrew. And not In that order, since more emphasis, was placed upon content than upon order. The range and ver satUity of Blkel were amply demonstrated, as he brought his auditors time after time to excited and grateful applause. This reviewer kept copious notes, marking down detail and Item of the richly diversified songs — but really, no one would care for an Itemized manifesto of Bikel's cargo of music. Perhaps that is why
Lincoln Lights Mrs. Max El l i n g e r represented the group at a meeting of the Lincoln Chapter of United Nations. Mrs. Harry Allen spoke on Israel and Life on the Kibbutz. The next meeting of the Sisterhood will be held on May 4. Dr. and Mrs. Steve Wald and son,Aaron are holiday guests of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wald. The Tlfereth • Israel Congregation Board will meet April 12, 8 p.m. at the Synagogue. , The Mid-West Health Congress was held in Kansas City, March 21-25. Mrs. Henry Wald board member of the Pink Ladies, representing Bryan Memorial Hospital was among those who attended. South Street Temple sponsors for Oneg Shabbats for the month of April are as following: April 1, Jan Buffum, April 8, Betty Levitov, April 18, Felicia Schrler, April 22nd, Roberta Stick, and April 29, Louise Goldberg. By Estelle Rosenbug. Swine flu volunteers who had assisted at Immunization
centers in Lincoln-Lancaster county last fall were honored by the Lancaster county chapter of the Red Cross and the nursing division of the City-County Health Department, Sunday, March 27, at the Red Cross Building, 17th; and E Street. Over ISO volunteers helped staff nurses Innoculatc 49,576 persons in the LincolnLancaster county last fall. Margaret Royer, registered nurse, chief of the public health-nursing, presented certificates and corsages. Among those receiving certificates were: VI Rublnow, Leelo Sommerhauser, Sylvia Singer, Belle Fisher and Estelle Rosenberg. The South Street Temple Sisterhood will not have a scheduled meeting in April due to the mini-convention of District 20 being held In Lincoln April 12-14. Members are urged to attend the open meetings on the 13th and 14th and are asked to attend the vesper service and the catered dinner at the temple with their husbands on the evening of April 13th. It is very Important that the Slsterhoold of the South Street Temple be represented.
there was no printed program — the songs simply sprang, full-bloom, out of Btkel's mouth, and leapt out from his guitar from under his flying fingers. Both musicians had a good time — their good humor and enjoyment in making fine music and excellent entertainment were always evident. Some of the music was boisterous, thrusting, exciting, with a quick, vivid thump of rhythm. In lovely shades of balance, others were quiet and sweet, arousing a deep bittersweet melancholy In the audience. One song, done on the harmonica, a composition of the artist, completely captivated the heart. The unutterable sweetness of It spoke with a rich clarity through the ear to the heart. But later, a song done in Russian, totally sans accompaniment, with Blkel singing as If to himself, in a strange soliloquy, topped even the harmonica song. The Russian song was a song of the young Jewish underground In Russia today — it spoke both with anguish at the repression they suffer, coupled with the defiance of their oppressors which then merged Into a speaking of hope for a better, freer tomorrow. There is entertainment, and there is entertainment. Sometimes we are amused, and within a quarter of 'ah hour, the excitement Is gone, like the sky which fades into gray after a beautiful sunset. With Blkel there Is this difference — hours after the show there Is still an afterglow. The warmth, sincerity, and artistry of Bikel are well articulated. The man knows how to communicate. He is a master showman.
Egypt Seeks Military Aid For "Defense" (Continued from Page 1) times to American correspondents that he will seek "defensive" equipment from the U.S. when he visits President Carter here. T h e Capitol sources pointed out that the five planes sold to Saudi Arabia have been redesigned to fire Maverick missiles which makes the plane an offensive aircraft. The question that is being posed is whether the U.S. will do the same for Egypt. It is felt that Egypt will get military equipment from the U.S. following Sadat's visit. Sadat has also said he will seek economic support of $s-io billion In U.S. credits. That the U.S. will also help Egypt economically Is indicated by the supplemental appropriation approved during this fiscal year three apartment buildings In Cairo, each with 36 units, for personnel of the Department and the Agency (or International Development (AID). Housing Is short In Cairo and apartments, are needed for the U.S. personnel who will be engaged In the growing American economic programs in Egypt. The cost for the land design and construction of the buildings Is estimated at $24 million. This money will come from the $280 million in Egyptian currency which the U.S. has accumulated in Cairo under the Food for Peace program. Agreements under this program call for the U.S. to supply agricultural commodities to Egypt at concessional rates and Egypt In turii pays for them in Egyptian funds for use on projects In Egypt.
