Don Spero, the winner of the
Diamond Sculls championship at
Henley, England, has been looked
on as a favorite to win the single
scull gold in at the 1968
Olympic Game s. But it seems
Spero has other ideas. "I plan to
keep rowing at least until next
summer and the world champion-
ships at Bled, Yugoslavia. But its
very doubtful that I'll stay in train-
ing for the 1968 Olympics at Mexico
City: Hopefully, the pressures of
work and a steady job, rather than
the flexible schedule of a student,
will have hit me by then." Spero
is a graduate student in plasma
physics at Columbia University,
and is researching and writing his
doctoral thesis, which he hopes to
finish in two years.

Africa's outstanding swimmers.
Recently in Barcelona, Spain, with
the swimming team he wrote the
following letter to his parents, Edie
and Abe Hotz of Johannesburg.
"On Friday I received permission
to visit the local synagogue for the
service. The rabbi had studied in
England and the shammus could
also speak English so I had tea
with him afterwards.
"They were all so pleased to see
me. I felt good for the next two
days or so. It is good to be a Jew.
I'm proud of it.
"The team -mocked me. They
said I had no team spirit because
they had all gone to the cinema to
see 'Sex and the Single Girl'."
Gallup Poll Reveals
80 Pct. of Voters Would
Back Jew as President
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Eighty
per cent of Americans would vote
for a Jew for President of the
United States, according to a new
Gallup poll. Gallup statistics show-
ed a consistent increase in this
respect in the past seven years. In
1958, the ratio of voters who would
cast their ballots for a Jew as
candidate for President was 62
per cent, rising to 68 per cent in
1961, and to 77 per cent in 196'3,
the poll revealed.
According to the Gallup data,
Negroes were found to be more
likely than whites to say they
would vote for a Jew for _Presi-
dent. The South was found to be
consistently less liberal on this
question, while the least prejudice
emerged in the East and the Far
West. Democrats and Republicans
were about equally likely to say
they would vote for a Jewish
candidate.
The question asked in the sur-
vey was: "If your party nomi-
nated a generally well-qualified
man for President, and he hap-
pened to be a Jew, Negro, Catho-
lic), would you vote for him?"
The answers on the question of a
Jewish candidate were: 80 per
cent "yes," 15 per cent "no" and
5 per cent "no opinion."
There were also increases in the
number of persons who would vote
for a Catholic or a Negro candi-
date. Currently, 87 per cent would
vote for a Catholic, 10 per cent
would not, and 3 per cent had no
opinion. In addition, 59 per cent
would choose a Negro president
today, while only 38 per cent
would have done so in 1958.

This will be the procedure of the
king who shall reign over you: he
will take your sons and appoint
them for himself for his chariots
and for his horsemen; and they
shall run before his chariots; and
he will appoint for himself com-
manders of thousands and com-
manders of hundreds' and some to
do his plowing and to reap his
harvests and make his implements
of war and the equipment for his
chariots. He will take your daugh-
ters for perfumers, for cooks, and
for bakers. He will take the best of
your fields and your vineyards and
your olive orchards, and give them
to his courtiers. He will take the
tenth of your grain crops and of
your vineyards and give it to his
eunuchs and to his henchmen. He
will take your male and female
slaves, and the best of your cattle
and your asses, and make use of
them for his work. He will take a
tenth of your flocks; and you your-
selves will become his slaves. Then
you will cry out on that day be-
cause of your king whom you will
have chosen for yourselves; but
the LORD will not answer you on
that day. " —I Samuel, 8:11-18
