Orthodox groups.
Rabbi Aaron Soloveitchik, dean
of the Hebrew Theological -College
of Skokie, Ill., told the national
convention of Yavneh, the Ortho-
dox Jewish students association,
that "It is immoral tliat the United
States government will recognize
objections only if expressed as un-
qualified opposition to all wars."

He told the 300 college students
that while traditional Judaism
teaches that participation in
"just wars"—such as wars of
self-defense—is a religious obli-
gation, it also considers partici-
pation in "unjust wars" as "im-
moral and barbarous."

Baltimore Council Denies
Agnew's Popularity Loss

BALTIMORE (JTA)—The Balti-
more Jewish Council said a report
published by the Jewish Telegra-
phic- Agency on the relations be-
tween the Jewish community in
t Maryland and Gov. Spiro T. Ag-
new, the Republican vice presi-
dential candidate, was incorrect.
A JTA report had stated that Gov.
Agnew's popularity with the Jew-
ish and other minority groups had
dwindled as a result of his stand
on civil rights and welfare pro-
grams.
The Baltiinore Council said that,
while maintaining neutrality in all
political matters, it "feels im-
pelled to speak out in the interest
of fair play in order to set the
record straight." The Council told
JTA that it "is completely un-
aware of any evidence indicating

a change in the attitude of Jews
toward Gov. Agnew." Its state-
ment said the Council "is aware
of the records of the candidates
for the offices of president and
vice president of the United States
in both major parties and it states
unequivocally that none of them
is unsympathetic to Jewish

causes."
