BONN (JTA) — President Ha- bib Bourguiba of Tunisia called on the Arab countries to end their state of belligerence against Israel and proposed that Gamal Abdel Nasser resign as president of Egypt "in the best interests of a com- promise with Israel and a solution of the Middle East crisis." The Tunisian leader told the Paris daily, Fiearo, that if Nasser re- signed. "it would be better for Egypt and would make a solution easier." He said there was a possibility of cooperation between Israel and the Arab states but, to achieve such a goal. "we would need other men." Saying it was "impossible" that Israel would not be prepared for "peace or cooperation" with the Arab states, he added that, in that unlikely event, the Arabs would be in a better position for war. Bourguiba said in a second in- terview with the Stadtanzeiger of Cologne, that the Arab states must end their state of belligerence against Israel if'they are to re- trieve their territories now occu- pied by Israel. He expressed "re- gret" over the belligerency policy that isolated the Arab states at the UN and "cost them must sym- pathy." stering and rearming the Arab states, it was noted here.

Woodward Detroit Birmingham 30—Friday, October 13, 1967 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS •••••••••i0 0.11•■•■■■•■••••••• ■•••■..........■•■ Boris Smolar's 1 'Between You . . and Me' (Copyright 1967, JTA Inc.) JEWISH KNOWLEDGE: Everybody talks about the need to strengthen Jewish knowledge and Jewish identity among the young elements in American Jewry . . . But very little — and in some cases nothing — is being done to assist institutions engaged in the work of spreading Jewish knowledge . . . Tale for instance the YIVO Institute for Jew- ish Research . . For the ast three years it has been struggling with courses on "Antecedents of American Jewish Life" for teachers in the New York public school system . . . There are about 20,000 Jewish teachers in the New York public schools, many of them having large numbers of Jewish pupils in their classes . . . What do these teachers know about American Jewish history? What do they know about Jew- ish history in general? What do they know about Jewish literature? What do they know of other subjects of Jewish knowledge? . . . It is true that this army of Jewish pedagogues is not engaged in teaching Jewish subjects, but would it not be helpful to them, as educators, if they knew something about Jewish culture, past and present? . . . Wouldn't such knowledge help them to implant more interest in things Jewish in their Jewish pupils whose education they mold? . . . To the praise of many of these public school teachers it must be said that hundreds of them are seeking to join the YIVO courses . . . But the YIVO is an institution with limited financial means . . . It cannot accept all those who wish to register for the courses, because it lacks the funds to accommodate them . . . Thus, only about 500 teachers have attended these courses during the last two school years, while hundreds of others who wanted to enroll had to remain outside . . . And this, when the YIVO needs only the small sum of $1,500 to maintain each course during the entire school year . . . The two courses it maintains are being financed, one by the Nathan Chanin Foundation of the Arbeiter Ring and the other by individual philan- thropists who understand the value of such courses for public school teachers who hold the key to the minds of Jewish children .. • This is a project that should deeply interest the New York Federation of Jewish Philanthropies . , . The Federation finances Jewish education for school children through the Jewish Education Association. Why should it not look also into financing Jewish education for public school teachers? . . . It is an exceptional opportunity for the Federation, especially since the YIVO courses are conducted with the consent of the New York Board of Education . . . What better contribution to strengthening Jewish identity can be made than providing Jewish knowledge for Jewish teachers in city schools?
