Ghanaian Soccer Team Attacks Israelis After Loss at Olympics
MEXICO CITY (JTA) — A Gha-
naian soccer team, enraged by its
5-3 defeat by an Israel team dur-
ing the Olympic soccer matches
here Sunday, attacked Israeli play-
ers and tournament officials,
touching off a wild melee on the
playing field as soon as the game
was over.
They beat Israeli players with
fists and feet and continued to
kick them as they writhed on the
ground.
A French referee who had warn-
ed a Ghanaian player for butting
and rough play during the game
was also beaten. The Israeli play-
ers, though badly hurt, restrained
themselves and did not retaliate.
They were rescued by police.
Israeli officials said later that
they would not lodge an official
protest against the Ghanaians.
The match itself, though hard
fought, was not especially rough,
considering the nature of the game.
Nevertheless, several players of
both teams were sent off the field,
and a number were cautioned.
An Israeli woman track star set
a new Israeli record in a 400-
meter Olympic trial heat here
even though she came in last.
Twenty-six-year-old Channa Shez-
fifi, who is Asia champion, did the
run in 56.3
improve-
ment of six-tenths of a second
over the previous Israeli women's
record for the distance. But it was
only a practice run for her "to
get the feel of the track" before
the 800-meter race in which she
would participate Thursday.
She said she had planned to just
lap the track at an easy pace un-
til the starting gun fired. She told

Douglas, Fortas Lead in Liberal Vote
as Supreme Court Shows Consensus
NEW YORK—An analysis of the
civil rights and civil liberties de-
cisions of the U.S. Supreme Court
during its 1967-68 term reveals
that a strongly liberal consensus
has replaced the former sharp
division between the court's liberal
and conservative wing s, the
American Jewish Congress reports.
The study covered 72 cases, of
which 80.6 per cent were decided
in favor of individuals asserting
their constitutional freedoms, as
compared with 66.1 per cent dur-
ing the preceding term.

The heat was won by a Dutch

An Israeli marksman placed
high in the trials for the pistol
competition next week and is as-
sured of a good position for the

cause of the shortage of wind-pro-

Israeli pistol team will go through
their trials later this week.

are paralytics confined to wheel-
chairs. The games were estab-
lished in 1948 at a hospital for
paralytics at Stoke-Mandeville
in Britain and since 1960 have
always been held coincidental
with the international Olympic
games. When the Mexican gov-
ernment announced this year
that it could not host the "wheel.

its facilities.
The games will be held Nov. 6-

Czechoslovakia was one of the
first countries to announce that it
would send a team. But contact
with the Czechs was interrupted
following the Soviet occupation of
that country and they never offi-

The organizing committee said
that if a Czech team does show
up, it will be admitted to the
games even though not registered.
The event will be held under the
patronage of President Zalman
Shazar of Israel. It will end with
ceremonies in Tel Aviv attended
by Prime Minister Levi Eshkol.
Vietnam Has
First Pid yon
Haben, Rite
LONG BINH, South • Vietnam
(JTA)—The first known "pidyon
haben" to be celebrated in Vietnam
took place in Long Binh, with
three of the Jewish chaplains in
that area participating. In his re-
port on the event to the Commis-
sion on Jewish Chaplaincy of the
National Jewish Welfare Board,
Chaplain Jack Ostrovsky stated
that the Jewish father is a first
lieutenant whose wife gave birth
in Brooklyn. Chaplain Bruce M.
Freyer served as Kohen and Chap-
lain Harold Wasserman officiated
and provided refreshments for the
seuda (ritual meal).
A pidyon haben is a ceremony
required when a first-born son is
born to a Jewish family and nei-
ther parent is of a family of priest
(Kohanim) or Levites. The law
prescribes that a father has the
responsibility of redeeming his in-
fant son by paying five pieces of
silver to a Kohen no matter where
the father may be when the son is
30 days old.
No man believes his creed who
is afraid to hear it attacked.
Justice Abe Fortas' voting rec-
ord was the second most liberal
on the bench, following that DT
Justice William 0. Douglas.
The conclusion that differences
among the justices on issues deal-
ing with constitutional freedom
had diminished was supported by
these findings:
Among the 72 decisions covered,
there was only one 5-4 split de-
cision. In the previous term, there
were 14 such votes out of 56 cases.
Only eight votes separated the
voting records of Chief Justice
Warren, a leader of the liberal
bloc on the court, and Associate
Justice Potter Stewart, regarded
as a conservative.

slovakian-made rocket launcher
known as "Katushya" was used by
Arab saboteurs in an attack on
the Dead Sea Potash Works on
the southern shores of the Dead
Sea. The rockets were fired from
Jordanian territory and landed
harmlessly in evaporation ponds.
According to an army spokesman,
fragments of the exploded rockets
were identified as the type that
is fired by the 130mm "Katushya."
The same weapon was used in an
attack on settlements in the Beisan
Valley last month. A military
spokesman reported that a bazooka
shell was fired at an Israeli arm-
ored patrol car near Shaar Hago-
lan in the Beisan Valley this
week. The bazooka was silenced
by return fire. There were no
Israeli casualties.

the rabbi's daughter, Ernestine Rose.
She was a rebel at the age of five, reject-

Born in the ghetto of Piotrkow, Poland,
on January 13, 1810, Ernestine left home
at the age of seventeen. She travelled
alone to Berlin, visited Holland, Belgium
and France, and settled in London. There
she met Robert Owen, whose humanist
philosophy influenced her deeply. There,
too, she met William . Rose, an Abolition-
ist, who became her husband. In 1836,
the Roses emigrated to the United States.
Ernestine, the rebel, found much to

Women in the United States were legally
on a par with infants, idiots and luna-
tics. Ernestine launched headlong into
the campaign for women's rights. An
eloquent, witty speaker, she became one
of the foremost orators of the day. With
the leading intellectuals of the day, she
worked for the rest of her life on behalf
of legal and political equality for women
and the abolition of slavery.
"The slave she helped to free from the
bondage of ownership, and the minds she
had
set free from the bondage of author-
ity were the glad and proud remem-
brance of her
last days." This tribute to
Ernestine Rose from the eulogydelivered
