Hebrew U. Building
on Scopus Starts in July

NEW YORK (JTA) — Former
Ambassador Avraham Harman,
president of the Hebrew University
in Jerusalem, anounced that work
would begin next month on con-
struction of a complex of dormi-
tories on Mt. Scopus, original site
of the university, to house 2,500
students.
• The former envoy to•Washington
told the annual dinner of the So-
city of Founders, honor group of
the American Friends of the He-
brew University, that the complex
would eventually accommodate
10,000 students.
Harman and Maj. Gen. Yitzhak
Rabin, Israel ambassador in Wash-
ington, were the principal speakers
at the function at which Nathaniel
L. Goldstein, president of the
American Friends for the past
three years, received the S. Y.
Agnon Gold Medal.
Rabin, chief of staff of the Is-
raeli forces during the Six-Day
War, described the Israeli army
as a universal school and a strong
positive force in creating homo-
geneity among the various ethnic
strains in Israel.
Harman noted that the freshmen
who -will begin their studies at the
Hebrew University this fall are for
the most part veterans who had
served in the army for three years
and were still subject to call-up.
They had, he said, "a strong de-
sire to catch up on lost time."
Most of these men, he said,
had to work to pay their way
through college and were affect.
ed by the shortage of dormitory
space. He stressed the need for
friends of the university to assist
the dormitory program and to
provide scholarship funds to as- .
sist needy students.
Samuel Rothberg, chairman of
the university's international board
of governors, said that the return
of the university to Mt. Scopus had
an emotional impact on Jews
everywhere. He recalled that this
year marked the 50th anniversary
of the ceremony at which Dr.
Chaim Weizmann laid the univer-
sity's foundation stone

1Non-Jewish Czech Youths Demonstrate in Favor of Relations With Israel

LONDON (JTA) — Non-Jewish
Czech youths staged a pro-Israel
demonstration in downtown Prague
June 7 without official interfer-
ence, it was reported here. The
youngsters urged passersby to sign
petitions demanding the resump-
tion of diplomatic relations with
Israel. Many people signed, and
there was no intervention by po-
lice, according to the report.
(In Tel Aviv, the Czech writer
Ladislav Mnacko predicted that
it would be a matter of only a few
months until the new regime in
Prague moved to renew diplomatic
relations with Israel which were

Massachusetts Rabbis
Ask Boycott of Grapes
in Support of Strikers

MALDEN, Mass. (JTA) — The
Massachusetts Board of Rab-
bis has come out in support of
striking grape pickers in Delano,
Calif. by calling for a Jewish boy-
cott of California table grapes.
The board, which represents the
Conservative, Reform and Ortho-
dox branches of the Massachusetts
Jewish community, adopted a reso-
lution urging all congregations to
consider the California table
grapes unfit for use in synagogues
and in religious Jewish homes.

severed in the aftermath of last,
June's Arab-Israel war. Mnacko
came to Israel last year in self-im-
posed exile because of his gov-
ernment's hostile attitude toward
Israel. After the liberalization in
Czechoslovakia he went back to
Prague but returned here last
week on a visit. Mnackso said that
the new regime has much to do,
and its relations with Israel have
not been given first priority.)
A three-year diary of events in
the Jewish ghetto of Olomuntz in
Moravia during World War H
will be published in Prague
shortly in the original Hebrew
in which it was written and in
Czech translation. ,
The diary, consisting of three
pocket-size books filled with en-
tries in a tiny Hebrew script,
was discovered by workers re-
building a house on the site of
Theresienstadt cone entration
camp. It was packed in a leather
case and was in good condition
when curators at the Jewish Mu-
seum here deciphered the writ-
ing and identified the diary as
the property of Egon Redlif of
Olomuntz.
It was also reported here that
a document was discovered in the
Czech national archives that re-
vealed the existence in 1942 of
Jewish resistance groups in Czech-

oslovakia which sabotaged German act of sabotage and was executed
war-production plants. Every mem- by the Gestapo, according to the
ber of the group was caught in an I document.

"The farm worker s are a
group that has thus far been ex-
cluded from coverage of federal
labor and minimum wage laws,"
the resolution s t a t e d. "Vast
groups of farm workers are ex-
ploited with substandard wages
and dehumanizing living condi-
tions. We therefore call the at-
tention of our Congregants to the
present strike of the grape pick-
ers in California.

"The owners have been bringing
help from Mexico to break this
strike. Hence the boycott is the
only significant counter - vailing

urge Jewish congregations to con-
sider that California table grapes
are unfit for use in any synagogue
