British Jews Agree on 'United Front' Shriver Cites Jews Liberals, Herut Open
Before Kosygin Pa ys Diplomatic Call in Peace Corps and Talks About Possible
y IWar on Povert y
LONDON—The Board of Depu-
ties of British Jews has agreed
with the Anglo-Jewish Association
(AJA) on the plan to convene a
conference of all Jewish organiza-
tions in this country to attempt to
work out a unified Jewish ap-
proach to Soviet Premier Alexei
N. Kosygin, during the latter's
forthcoming visit to Britain, it was
announced here Wednesday by
Maurice Edelman, president of the
AJA. The purpose of the unified
approach would be to discuss with
Kosygin the situation of Jews in
the USSR.
Edelman expressed the hope that
the conference of Jewish organiza-
tions on this subject would "prove
fruitful" and that "in unity we can
make constructive contributions to
serve the cause of our distressed
Soviet brethren."
Addressing a regular meeting
of the association's council, Edel-
man also said that latest reports
from West Germany indicate that
the Bonn government would
"very likely decide after all to
prolong the statute of limitations"
for prosecution of war criminals
after the expiration of the preg-
ent May 8 cut-off date.
The AJA president warned that
tensions are becoming explosive
not only in the Far East but also in
the Middle East and said that onl
I a general detente between the
I Eastern and Western powers could
resolve the grave situations. The
dangers in the Middle East, he
said, have been heightened by the
visit to Egypt by Communist East
Germany's chief of state, Walter
Ulbricht, which, he said, "could
have taken place only with the
permission of the Soviet Union."
Pointing to West Germany's de-
cision to halt arms shipments to
Israel, thereby contributing to "a
perilous imbalance of armaments
introduced into the Middle East,"
he said that, "as with most con-
cessions to blackmail, this one
failed to appease the blackmailer."
"The West German govern-
ment," he said, "finds itself spurn-
ed by Egypt and discountenanced
by Israel. By failing to fulfill its
arms obligations to Israel, and by
failing to mention its own tolerance
of the fact that German scientists
are at work in Egypt, the Bonn
government failed in its moral debt
to contribute to the defense of
those Jews in Israel who survived
the Nazi holocaust."
Referring to the internal situa-
tion in Israel, Edelman said
"There can be no doubt that Nas-
ser and his allies have been great-
ly encouraged by the signs of divi-
sion and dissention in Israel itself.
The spectacle of parochial, political
strife, which we have recently seen
in Israel, have been dishearten-
ing." Stressing the need for the
Jews of Israel and those in the rest
of the world "to recognize the need
for unity in the face of dangerous
pressures from Hitler's heirs, asso-
ciates and alter egos," he called
upon all Jews everywhere "to de-
sist from petty squabbling which
tarnishes the Jewish image and
gives heart to the enemies of Is-
rael."

by permission of the Soviet gov-

expressed concern in the Soviet
• capital that the situation in Mos-
cow "may not be typical" of other
Jewish communities in the USSR,
the New York Times reported
from Moscow.
The Times report stated that
communal matzo bakeries have
also been established in Leningrad
and "perhaps" in Kiev. But the
private sources told the Times
correspondent in Moscow that Jews
in other parts of the Soviet Union
have not received permission to
bake matzo.
They urged that Jews in the
United States and Western Europe
should not give up their efforts to
ship matzo to Jewish communities
in the Soviet Union.

Philadelphia Jews Picket
Before Soviet Embassy
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Ap-
proximately 120 pickets represent-
ing the Jewish community of Phi-
ladelphia demonstrated in front of
the Soviet Embassy in protest
against "religious and cultural
genocide" affecting Soviet Jewry.
Leaders of the group met with
officials of the Soviet Embassy
to present a petition calling on the
Soviet government to end anti-
Jewish discriminations. They also
asked Moscow "to permit Jews to
make religious pilgrimages to the
holy places in Israel and permit
free emigration for those who wish
to leave the USSR."
The group also met with mem-
bers of the Pennsylvania congres-
sional delegation.
WASHINGTON (JTA) — R. Sar-
gent Shriver, director of the Office
of Economic Opportunity and foun-
der of the Peace Corps, Tuesday
told a national conference on "Ju-
daism in pursuit of economic jus-
tice" that Jews have performed an
outstanding role in both the war on
poverty in the United States and
the Peace Corps abroad.
He commended the conference,
conducted by the Religious Action
Center of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, and cited
the words of Maimonides pertain-
ing to the highest degree of charity
—the 8th degree—the anticipation
of poverty by creating jobs and
opportunity. This, he said, was a
Jewish concept and the most meri-
torious approach to the war on
poverty.
According to Shriver, Jews are
now active as Peace Corps volun-
teers in four Arab nations despite
gloomy predictions in Washington
that the corps anti-bias policy
would keep it out of Moslem
lands. In Somalia, he said, he
met an Orthodox Jewish Ameri-
can Peace Corpsman who wore a
yarmelka among the Arabs.
He said this man and his wife
shared a house with Egyptians and
did a valuable job for the Peace
Corps while openly practicing his
Americanism and Judaism.
In another Arab country, said
Shriver, two Jewish volunteers
were among the most effective
workers although the corps gener-
ally had experienced trouble with
the Arabs on other issues.
Joint List for Election
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Representa-
tives of two of Israel's opposition
parties, the Liberals and Herut,
met here to open negotiations for
a possible "united front" list of
candidates to be slated by the par-
ties for the next national elections
to the Knesset, Israel's parliament,
scheduled to be held in November.
Leaders of both parties confer-
red here a few days earlier and
decided to start "practical discus-
sions" for a joint elections list.
The central committee of the
Liberal Party, approved last
week by a 60-40 vote, the propo-
sal to appoint a special commit.
tee to negotiate the formation of
an election bloc with Herut which
had already announced its readi-
ness to negotiate. A proposal by
former Justice Minister Pinhas
Rosen to postpone discussion of
the alignment until after the
Knesset elections later this year
was defeated.
After the vote on the issue, Knes-
set member Moshe Kol announced
that the opponents of the alignment
decision would boycott all party
activities unless the decision was
reversed. He said the decision
meant a lack of confidence in those
who had brought about the union
between the General Zionists and
the Progressives, since it is the
latter group that is generally op-
posing alignment with Herut.
Joseph Saphir, of the General
Zionist wing of the Liberal Party,
appealed to the opponents of the
decision to await the results of the
negotiations with Herut before tak-
ing any steps.
MELBOURNE (JTA)—One of
two youths who attacked three
rabbis While shouting anti-Semitic
insults at them has been fined 25
pounds ($56) on assault charges.
The two were part of a group
which accosted the three rabbis
who were on their way to the
Lubavitcher Yeshiva here. Rabbi
Lazar Kleinman said members of
the group pulled his beard and
knocked him to the ground, while
shouting "Eichmann was right"
and "Go back to Jerusalem." The
court imposed the fine on William
Gruickshank, 19, a printer, but
dismissed charges against Otto
Klarfeld.
