Systemntt - 17e Exclusion of Jews
From Jos Reported in Poland

LONDON (JTA) — Polish Jews
are being systematically excluded
from jobs, housing and schools in
a pattern of quiet persecution that
seems to have replaced the anti-
Jewish, anti-Zionist tirades launch-
ed by the Warsaw government and
the Communist Party earlier this
year.
According to reports just re-
ceived here from N1L.rsaw, only
those Jews who are for the present
irreplaceable can hold their jobs,
and they are periodically reviewed
to see if a non-Jewish Fele with
suitable qualifications is avalable.
British Jews meanwhile have
been urged to boycott Polish goeds.
In an advertisement in the Jewish
Chronicle, the Association of Jew-
ish Ex-Servicemen called on fellow
Jews to "remember the discrimin-
ation against Jews in Poland when
buying such Polish good as butter,
eggs, cucumbers, volka. etc."
A spokesman for the association
told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that the boycott was not directed
. against the Polish people but
against the government and its
continuing anti-Semitic campaign.
According to reports from War-
saw, Jews who formerly held high
positions in fields of scholarship or
technology are being offered jobs
as bus conductors when they seek
employment. Many Jewish school

ACLU Urges Nixon
to Sponsor QiVews,
Negroes in Club

NEWARK (JTA)—The American
Civil Liberties Union of New Jer-
sey has presented Republican
Presidential nominee Richard M.
Nixon with the names of 10 Jews
and 10 Negroes who have express-
ed interest in joining the allegedly
racially restricted Baltusrol Golf
Club in Springfield, N. J., and
asked him to support their appli-
cations with his recommendation.
Nixon's membership in the ex-
clusive club, which denies it is re-
strictive but admits that it has no
Jewish or Negro members, was
disclosed when the Nixon entour-
age held a reception there for Re-
publican leaders during his cam-
paign for the nomination last
month.
Nixon said at the time that he
membership re-
disapproved
of club but that if
strictions by 'any
they existed he would prefer to
work for reforms from the inside
rather than make a public gesture
of resigning. He said he would be
glad to sponsor appropriate peo-
ple to Baltusrol.
He could not be reached for
comment Monday but a Nixon
aide was quoted as saying he
probably would not answer their
request because "members are
simply not brought into the club
by recommendation."
In a letter to Nixon last Fri-
day, Stephen Nagler, ACLU exe-
cutive director, said "your rec-
ommendation and your • active
support for membership in Sal-
tusrol could help in combating
discrimination." The list he sub-
mitted included Rabbi Martin
Freedman of Patterson, N. J.,
president of the local chapter
of the American Jewish Con-
gress.
Nagler said that if Nixon could
not get other club members to
back recommendations of the 20
applicants, "I would not think that
you would wish to remain a mem-
ber of the club if you really op-
pose its discriminatory practices."

children have been discharged be-
fore the term's end, and their par-
ents are told to find new schools.
In cases where the children's
academic records are outstanding,
the excuse is given that the
schools are overcrowded or that
the youngster do not "fit in."
Many Jews have lost their
apartments as a result of having
lost their jobs because in many
cases the flat goes with the job.
These people have to fend for
themselves and often live under
appalling conditions in the big
cities, the reports said.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press
reported in a dispatch from War-
saw, that an estimated 800 of
Poland's surviving 25,000 Jews
have emigrated since June 1967,
the month of the Arab-Israel
Middle East war.
"Jews are allowed to emigrate
to Israel," the AP report said.
"They apply for visas to the Dutch
Embassy, which had been han-
dling Israeli affairs since Poland
broke off diplomatic relations in
June, 1967. The embassy refuses
to reveal the number of visas being
issued," the AP said. "Jews then
apply for travel documents from
the Polish authorities. This takes
about six weeks."
According to the AP dispatch,
"leaving Poland,. their first desti-
nation is normally Vienna. There,
a Jewish organization gives them
assistance. From there some go
to Israel, others to various West-
ern destinations, some with prom-
ised jobs ahead, others with uncer-
tain futures." The AP said "they
go disappointed, bitter, feeling
there is no future for them" in
Poland.
The dispatch quoted one Polish
Jew as saying, "If I stay, I am
called a Zionist. If I go to Israel,
I am considered a traitor."

UJA University Mission
Learns That Only 13 Pct.
of Israelis Enter College

TEL AVIV—Only 13 per cent of
Israel's youth enter college, com-
pared with 70 per cent of their
Jewish counterparts in the United
States, according to Genera 1
Aharon Doron, executive vice
president of Tel Aviv University.
If Jews in Israel are to main-
tain their position as "People of
The Book " Gen. Doron warned
American students on a United
Jewish Appeal study mission, "we
must work for it with every means
possible." He pointed out that at
present only 30 per cent of Israeli
youngster manage to acquire a
secondary education.
The 28 members of the UJA
University Mission represent col-
leges in all parts of the United
States. They met with students
and administrators of Tel Aviv
University during one leg of their
36-day journey through Israel to
observe the country's achieve-
ments and problems in immigra-
tion and education.
Gen. Doron told the young visi-
tors at a luncheon that "educa-
tion is secondary only to defense
in priorities to the state."

Cut-Ups Meet in Israel

TEL AVIV—The 13th World Con-

of three Gaza residents who were
killed when a car, carying a fa-
ther and son, hit a mine Aug. 17.
The mining was one of two such
incidents.
Many Gaza residents blamed the
blast, which killed Rashid Mou-
hamed el Galani, 70, his son, All
Commap, 40, and a pesserby on
Jordanian terrorists. The two car
passengers were members of one
of the richest and most important
families in Gaza.
Another reported cause of the
anti-Jordan sentiment was the fact
that the Jordanian authorities have
prevented Gaza Strip residents
from visiting Jordan.
The Israel-Jordan border echoed
'with gun fire Monday as forces
of both sides fought an hour-long
duel with artillery, mortars and
machineguns south of the Sea of
Galilee. Amman radio claimed
that Jordanian gunners destroyed
an Israeli ammunitions dump, hit
an Israeli halftrack and caused
nine Israeli casualties.
The Jordanian report alleged
that Israel had started the shoot-
ing by firing on the Jordanian
settlements of Khirbet Chebab
and Manshiya with howitzers,
mortars and machineguns.
A water pumping station north
of Ashkelon was damaged by a
bomb and Israeli jets chased off a
flight of Egyptian MIGs on a re-
connaissance mission over Sinai
Sunday. The Egyptian planes
crossed the Suez Canal south of
Kantara at twilight and Israeli
planes immediately were sent in
hot pursuit.
They encountered Egyptian anti-
aircraft fire on crossing the Suez
Canal, but all planes returned
safely to their bases, the spokes-
man said.
An Israeli patrol was attacked
by Jordanian machinegun and ba-
zooka fire at dawn Monday near
Neveh Urr in the Beisan Valley
rer!icri. The_ fire was returned and
no Israeli casualties were report-
ed. A short while later, Jordanians
attacked an Israeli armored car
near Kibutz Gesher with bazookas
and recoilless guns and again the
fire v.- as returned without casual-
ties on the Israeli side.
A 45-iri.nnte, exchange of fire
developed between Israeli and
Jordanian forces during the
night near Umm Shurt and a
half-hour exchange occurred at
Neve Urr without casualties,
a military spokesman said. A
bomb explosion at a Mekorot
Water Co. pumping station near
Yad Mordechai south of Ashke-
lon damaged the building but
not the pump which supplies
water for irrigation. Police are
investigating the incident.
An Israeli Army patrol was at-

ing along the road from Khan
Detroit's 14 boulevards account
Yunis to Raffah in the southern
for 425 acres of open space regu-
part of the Gaza Strip. The patrol,
