Czech Jewish Youths Go
Abroad After Invasion
PRAGUE (JTA) — Many Jewish
parents in Czechoslovakia have
sent their children abroad as a
consequence of the Soviet occupa-
tion, which has given rise to a cli-
mate of ominous foreboding in the
Jewish community, the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency learned. At
least 100 Jewish youths have left
Czechoslovakia since the Soviet-led
invasion on Aug. 21 and more than
half of them are in Western coun-
tries. Many other youngsters who
were abroad at the time have not
returned home.
The fears of Czechoslovak Jews
were motivated by the strong at-
tacks in the Soviet press which
accused "Zionists" of being pri-
marily responsible for the so-called
"counter-revolution" in Czechoslo-
vakia, the JTA was told. However,
Jews here are confident that the
Czech population will not follow
any anti-Semitic tendencies as was
the case in Poland "because the
Czech people were never anti-
Semitic and never would be."
Soviets May Dredge
Suez, Says Spokesman
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
Soviet Union may be planning to
dredge the Suez Canal, Congres-
sional sources said here Sunday.

mittee has been informed that
boats used for dredging, flying the
Soviet ensign, have arrived in
Egyptianwaters
.
That evening, Rabbi Immanuel
Jakobovitz, chief rabbi of the
United Hebrew Congregations of
the British Commonwealth, will
be guest speaker, co-sponsored
by the Zionist Council and the
Jewish National Fund. Rabbi
Jakobovitz, author of books on
law and medical ethics, was
formerly chief rabbi of Ireland
and at one time rabbi of The
Fifth Avenue Temple, New York
City. That evening, B. Z. Gold-
berg will be guest speaker for
the Yiddish Committee of the
Jewish Center. Goldberg, author
and columnist, will address his
audience in Yiddish.
On Nov. 14, friends of Hillel and
Akiva Day Schools will bring Es-
ther Masserman Broner, whose
book, "Journal Nocturnal and
Seven Stories" is being published
this month.
That same day will include talks
sponsored by the following:
Pioneer Women, Marie Waife-
Goldberg, daughter of Sholom
Aleichem, who wrote "My Father,
Sholom Aleichem;" National
Council of Jewish Women, Rich-
ard H. Lobenthal, director of the
Michigan Regional Office, Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai Brith;
and Bnai Brith Men's and Women's
Council, Elie Wiesel, novelist of
the Holocaust and winner of the
1966 Jewish Heritage Award for
Excellence.

ed the National Arts Foundation
Grant in 1967 and whose latest
book, "The American Jews: Por-

decided to investigate the six-point
Star of David found on rugs in
Egyptian mosques.
Muslim clerics are embarrassed

Shield of David that is the national

After an inquiry into the star's
origin, the Egyptian Ministry of
Religious Affairs found that it
stemmed from ancient Arab art
and that the Jews borrowed it
from the Arabs upon the rise of
the Zionist movement at the end
of the 19th Century.
