Editor, The Jewish News:
I have read with dismay your
report (?) on my talk before the
opening session of the annual Mid-
western convention of Young Is-
rael in Detroit Nov. 26. Here we
have a frightful example of what
can happen if you try to condense
a 40-minute presentation into two
sentences.
The subject assigned to me was
"The Relationship of Hillel, Young
Israel and Yavneh on the College
Campus." (You speak erroneously
of "Young Israel's Yavneh Col-
legiate Organization" when in fact
they are two completely separate
organizations).
After giving a concise history
of the Hillel movement, analyzing
its purposes, achievements and
problems, I commended both
Young Israel's collegiate or-
ganization and Yavneh for their
efforts to help the traditional
student on the campus, although
I deplored the duplication in-
volved in having two organiza-
tions of this type.
Young Israel has pioneered with
Kashrut facilities at 11 (soon 12)
universities and colleges. Yavneh,
I said, can play a real role in
bringing depth of Jewish learning
and a closer relationship to the
sources to the Hillel Foundation,
which frequently, due to the lack
of a solid Jewish background in
most of our students, has to gear
its program to the least common
denominator. I stressed Hillel's
role as the over-all agency for
Jewish student work into which
other special interest groups should
be integrated. I warned against
the danger of growing denomi-
nationalism on the campus, which
merely reflects certain ominous
trends in the general Jewish com-
munity.
Yavneh, with all its good inten-
tions and potential value for the
over-all Jewish campus picture,
might well run the risk of closing
to the Orthodox Jewish student
the wider horizons of academic
life and Jewish involvement. Hillel,
I emphasized, is the most import-
ant Klal Yisrael institution in
American Jewish life today and
must maintain and develop this
role on the campus for the com-
monweal of the American Jewish
community.

Teen KKK Ring
Nabbed in Detroit
A Detroit junior branch of the
Ku Klux Klan, which leveled its
malicious destruction at Jews,
NegroeS and "anyone they didn't
like" was arrested by police last
weekend.
The gang, comprised of seven
teen-agers, headed by a 15-year-old
"imperial wizard," was charged
with 29 specific crimes. Its bylaws,
confiscated from the leader, spec-
ificially mentioned Jews as one of
its targets. Activity began in the
Grand River-Oakman section in
August.
Among the crimes
charged
against the group were arson,
armed robbery, burglary, malicious
destruction of property and cruelty
to animals. They always wore
hoods — pillow cases taken from
their homes — when committing a
crime. Members were obligated to
burn "at least one garage" every
month.

ZIM to Withdraw in '67
From Ghanaian Ship Line
ACRE — ZIM, Israel National
Shipping Lines, and the Black
Star Shipping Co. of Ghana have
reached an agreement whereby
ZIM will withdraw from the man-
agement of the Ghanaian shipping
company in 1967.
This will terminate an agree-
ment signed in 1952 by which Is-
raeli shipping experts and mer-
chant seamen were loaned to
Ghana to assist that country in
establishing a national shipping
company. In 1957 the agreement
was extended for another 10 years.
Under its terms, ZIM personnel
were on the board of manage-
ment of the Black Star and cap-
tained its ships. Until 1967, Ghana-
ian seamen will continue to be
trained by Israelis for senior mari-
time positions.
