Assaults on Jewish Slum Property Crime Problem, Not Bias - Karasick WASHINGTON (JTA)-A nation- al Jewish leader declared that ver- bal and physical assaults against Jews and Jewish property in slum areas constituted a problem of crime in the streets and "not an anti-Semitic con- spiracy." But he warned that a conflict was de- veloping inNegro- Je wish relations which required serious considera- tion from the Jew is community. Joseph Kara- sick, re-elected national president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congreations o America, voiced Karasick those views to some 2,000 delegates and guests at the 70th anniversary national- bi- ennial convention of that represent- ative organization for some 3,000 Orthodox congregations throughout the- United States and Canada. Karasick said Jews throughout the U.S. felt a special concern over one phase of the recent public school teachers strike in New York City-elements of anti-Semitism in the conflict between black parents and_ teachers in the experimental Ocean Hill-Brownsville school dis- trict in Brooklyn and the United Federation of Teachers. He added that Orthodox Jews "in poverty areas are the targets of rioting, and synagogues on the borders between black and white communities are the targets of stonings and bombings." Karasick said one source of Negro-Jewish differences is that anti-poverty programs, while far below needs, are sufficiently effec- tive so that "the American Negro is finally beginning, in increasing numbers, to move up the competi- tive ladder." Like the Jew before him, Karasick added, the Negro is discovering that one good way to combat job bigotry is to go where his hard-won job skills are "meas- ured on their merits - the civil service." He said the areas in which the ghetto Negro was most likely' to meet the Jew was in public school teaching and social case- work areas in which competitive examinations are the door to ad- mission. In these areas the Negro, "scrambling at long last up the ladder," sees the Jew in his way. The Jew already sees the aspir- ing Negro as a professional threat, particularly when proposals are made seriously that "Blacks should get special consideration in easing of professional requirements for jobs." These negative aspects of black attitudes toward Jews, Karasick emphasized, must not be used as an excuse for Jews to "withdraw from the struggle for a more de- cent society" for all minorities. The chief rabbi of France ap- pealed for help in meeting the growing religious needs of a French Jewish community that has more than doubled in size in the last five years. Rabbi Jacob Kaplan said French Jewry had grown from about 200.- 000 to almost 500,000 as the result of the exodus of Jews, mostly from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Rabbi Kaplan was assured by Harold M. Jacobs, chairman of the Orthodox Union's board, that the Orthodox Union would respond. He said a team of experts would be sent to France to determine the dimensions of French Jewry's re- quirements as the first step. Rabbi Kaplan said more rabbis, youth leaders, teachers and other reli- gious functionaries are needed. Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress, warned the delegates about a new form of anti-Semitism that he said was replacing "classic anti-Semit- ism." He said that kind of hatred was being replaced by a new form "primarily in the form of anti- Israel positions and anti-Zionism." I ! He said this was being promoted by forces "of the so-called New Left, the Communist countries and leftist movements in non-Commu- nist countries." Dr. Goldmann also warned that a major part of Jewish youth and Jewish ntellectuals were becoming "more and more indifferent to Jewish urvival" as they joined the struggle "for general ideals and aims, regarding Jewish problems as parcx hial and narrow." He said there was a role for Israel in in- spiring s , ich youth but that through Implementation of "the great hu- man ant ethical ideas of our proph- ets." The nion, fearing a break- down i Jewish religious life in Centres and South America, plans to spend over $500,000 in the next two years to create a Union of Orthodox Jewish Con- gregations of Central and South America. The new body will rep- resent congregations in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Guatemala, Panama and Costa Rica. It will be organized by the UOJCA and staffed, after United States train- ing, by Latin Americans. Karasick said the Union decided to undertake the project after a recent survey indicated a critical shortage of religious leaders in Lantin America and an almost total absence of seminaries and teacher- training schools. He said the sur- vey indicated that many Latin American Jewish communities had been deprived of essential re- ligious guidance for more than 20 years as a "tragic consequence of the European holocaust, since Europe had always been a source of Jewish religious leaders for Latin America." Some Jewish communities of 25,- 000 Jews have no rabbis, teachers or youth leaders, Rabbi Karasick declared, adding that many youth were being lost through assimila- tion. Dr. Samson R. Weiss, executive vice president of the Union, called on Jewish welfare funds and feder- ations to give top priority in their allocations to the support of Jewish education and day schools. Dr. Weiss accused federations of "stubborn neglect of the core insti- tutions of Jewish survival - our schools and especially the Hebrew day schools." The American Jew- ish community, he said, is not in need of more health and welfare institutions but "more and better Jewish education." At another session, Dr. Norman Lamm, professor of Jewish philoso- phy at Yeshiva University, com- plained that American Orthodox leaders do not involve themselves in world culture and secular stu- dies signifying "a remarkable in- tellectual timidity, which we should long have outgrown." He saw such secular studies as a "religious re- quirement to enhance a compre- hensive spiritual outlook." 60 Students Begin Study at New Israel University JERUSALEM (JTA)-The Amer- ican College in Jerusalem, Israel's newest institution of higher learn- ing, opened here with an initial student body of 60, mainly from the United States.

Friends Hear Pessimistic Mrs. Golda M eir at Dinner in NY NEW YORK (JTA) - Israel's former Foreign Minister Mrs. Golda Meir said here yesterday that pros- pects for peace in the near future were dim. In the absence of a Middle East settlement, Israel must depend on her own military forces to maintain her security, she said. Addressing a dinner of the Amer- ican Friends of the Hebrew Uni- versity, Mrs. Meir said that Israel cannot entrust its security to a United Nations force, recalling the UN Emergency Force's pull-out from Sinai preceding last year's Arab-Israel war. No nation can guarantee that a Harman and Mrs. Meir both peace agreement signed by the Arab countries would be an "iron- spoke of the symbolic importance of Mt.
