Noting the increased interest in
the Yiddish language among col-

on campuses, and Hillel Founda-

HIGHLAND MILLS, N.Y. (JTA)
— More than 750 delegates from
the United States and Canada, at-
tending the 21st national conven-
tion of Farband-f.abnr Zionist Or-
der, went on record as favoring
top priority for Israel immigration.
The convention concluded after re-
electing Samuel Bonchek president
and Jacob Katzman, national sec-
retary.
Sen. Gale W. McGee (D-Wyo,),
speaking at the main banquet ses-
sion of the convention on Saturday,
said that, in the current dispute
over pre-war boundaries, Israel
should "hang tough and tight

ways by which Israel might con-
tribute to a solution of the urgent
problem arising from the adverse
physical conditions in the camps
now occupied by those who were
previously UNRWA refugees par-
ticularly in the Jericho camps."
In Washington, Secretary of
'State Dean Rusk said the United
States had not had "a real res-
ponse" to its request to Israel
to permit the return of more
Arab refugees to the occupied
territories.
In response to questions on the
ABC "Issues and Events" TV pro-
gram, he said he thought that
events "will give us our response."
. Rusk told a press conference
Friday that the displaced Arabs
had not been responsible for the
recent war and should be per-
mitted to return to their former
homes in what is now Israeli-
occupied territory. He said the
United States had made its views
known on this score to Israel and
that the future would tell "how
far we will go in this regahi."
The secretary of state said that
"in general" he saw encouraging
signs in the recent Arab summit
conference at Khartoum, that the
"realities" were becoming more
apparent to both sides. I-‘e voiced
hope that the forthcoming ses-
sions of the United Nations would
heed the voices of moderation and
would be able to stabilide condi-
tions in the Middle East. He pointed
out, however, that those who lived
in the area had the prithary re-
sponsibility for peace there, and
he remarked that a state of bel-
ligerency was not consistent with
peace.
Rusk said that the American
position remained that outlined by
President Johnson in his five
points. The United States delega-
tion would do everything it could
along these lines of approach in
the forthcoming UN meetings, he
said.
