LOS ANGELES (JTA) — Dur- ing the past 12 years, there have been 134 Bnai Mitzva and 20 Bnot Mitzva among blind children at- tending Orthodox, Conservative and Reform religious schools in the United States, according to a report by Dr. Jacob Freid, execu- tive director of the Jewish Braille Institute of America. Dr. Freid said this had come about as a result of a campaign by the institute to enable the blind to join seeing children in regular classes, in contrast to the general practice, up until around 1950, of segregating blind children in spe- cialized training classrooms. Dr. Freid presented this information in a report to the annual conven- tion here of the National Federa- tion of the Blind. He said Los Angeles was one of several cities which were "pilot areas" where a breakthrough has been made in educating the blind during the past decade, both in public schools and in Jewish reli- gious schools. The religious schools receive Braille textbooks without charge from the institute, he said. pear generally to have failed to win support from their intellec- tuals for their virulent official campaigns of hostility against Is- rael stemming from Israel's mas- sive victory in the June war, ac- cording to a Christian Science Monitor report Wednesday. Eric Bourne, writing from a Vienna listening post, said that the official campaigns against Israel and in support of the defeated Arabs ha • "overtones of anti- Semitism." Breaches of the cease- fire have been regularly exploited for new and violently biased at- tacks on Israel and also the Uni- ted States. In Poland, pro-Arab "protest" meetings have been organized in factories but none have been tried in the universities or similar in- stitutions , a standard channel for pushing demonstrations in support reports of censorship which pre- vented publication in Poland of intellectual viewpoints sympathetic to Israel. In Czechoslovakia, leading cultural weeklies which have had a leading role in promoting the "liberalization" of arts and opinions "have simply main- tained a meaningful silence on Middle East issues and thus conveyed dissent from official policy as eloquently as an overt effort to present a balanced picture or defend Israel," Bourne reported. The Monitor correspondent cited charges by Polish media and offi- cials of "massacres of Arabs in the occupied Gaza Strip and a Warsaw broadcast which dealt with "the barbaric persecution" of Arabs in the occupied territory.
