alleged "Zionist conspiracy" to

Kansas City Church Group
Forms Task Force to Fight
Aspects of Anti-Semitism
KANSAS CITY (JTA) — A city-
wide church group representing
Protestant and Catholic denomina-
tions has established a task force
to study various aspects of anti-
Semitism and combat them.
The Metropolitan Inter-Church
Agency (MICA) took the first step
at a meeting of its cabinet to
which Sidney Lawrence, director
of the Jewish Community Relations
Bureau, was invited to describe
those aspects of anti-Semitism of
exclusive concern to Jews and
those which impinge on issues of
concern to the entire community.
Fourteen religious judicatories
sent representatives to the or-
ganizing meeting and others not
present may join the task force
at a later date. MICA was or-
ganized to stimulate church con-
cern with social issues, and as
issues are brought before its
cabinet, task forces are set up
to study them, take action and
make recommendations. Law-
rence will serve as consultant
(hiring the initial organizational
stages of the task force on anti-
Semitism.
He summarized the manifesta-
tions of anti-Semitism under five
headings: Those relating to the
Christian approach to Jews in reli-
gious textbooks; vulgar stereo-
types, derogatory cliches and
general accusations of "conspir-
acy" promulgated by extremists
of the right and left; sophisticated
anti-Semitism expressed in dis-
criminatory practices in the "ex-
ecutive suite" and in social clubs;
problems reflecting a lack of
understanding of the role of Israel
in Jewish life, the anti-Jewish pro-
paganda arising from the Middle
East conflict, the position of Jews
in the Soviet Union and neo-Naz-
ism in Germany; problems involv-
ing the polarization between Jews
and the black community com-
pounded by the publicity given to
a small minority opinion which is
viewed as anti-Semitism among
Negroes.
Israel's 1st Pistachios
JERUSALEM—Bags of pistachio
nuts — Israel's first — were sent to
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and
other dignitaries by Aharon Weitz,
director of the Jewish National
Fund's afforestation division.
The nuts hitherto had been im-
ported from Iran and Turkey. This
crop came from plantations estab-
lished by the Jewish National Fund
in the Galilee (at Kfar Szold in the
Har Hazon region, over a total
area of 40 acres). Tuvia Ashbel,
JNF's director of afforestation in
the Galilee, is confident that Israel
can become self-supplying in this
field within a few years.

State Dept. Drafting
Mid East Policy Proposals
for Nixon Administration
WASHINGTON (JTA)—State De-
partment officials are drafting
outlines of a proposal to the in-
coming Nixon administration to
strengthen American relations
with "pro-Western" Arab regimes,
restore diplomatic ties with Egypt
and exert control over Israeli re-
prisal policies by withholding de-
livery of the Phantom jets.
U.S. officials now visualize de-
ferment of delivery of Phantoms
as the only effective lever avail-
able to control Israeli behavior.
But not all State Department
or U.S. military opinion is con-
vinced that Israel is entirely to
blame. The State Department in-
cludes officials who see no real-
istic chance of an American-Rus-
sian demarche to impose a Mid-
east settlement acceptable to
Western interests. They visualize
a more active unilateral American
role by the Nixon administration
to restrain Israel, bolster the Am-
man and Beirut regimes in hopes
of limiting the terrorist trend, and
normalize relations with Egypt.
Jewish Refugees Left
Wealth in Arab Lands
JERUSALEM (ZINS)—Dr. An-
dre Shuraki, an Algerian Jew, now
assistant mayor of Jerusalem, has
declared to the press here that the
number of Jewish refugees from
Arab lands exceeds the number of.
Arab refugees who had fled Israel.
Dr. Shuraki made public the fol-
lowing: 300,000 Jews fled Morocco;
130,000, Algeria; 90,000, Tunisia;
45,000, Libya; 80,000, Egypt; 115,-
000, Iraq; more than 100,000, Ye-
men; and several thousand, Leban-
on and Syria. Facts substantiate—
Dr. Shuraki stressed—that Jews
had left behind them, in the Arab
lands, much more wealth than did
the hundreds of thousands of Arab
refugees who had fled Israel.
The possessions of but a few
Jewish families in several Arab
countries, confiscated by the re-
spective governments, amounted
to hundreds of millions of dollars
This does not include the posses-
sions of the hundreds of thousands
of Jewish families confiscated by
the various Arab governments.
Each Jewish family left behind
an established home, furnishings,
a business, land, and very often,
property jointly owned with an
ADL Recommends
Decentralization
But Not Control
NEW YORK—The Anti-Defama-
tion League of Bnai Brith recom-
mended guidelines for a "struc-
tural change" of the New -York
City public schools system which
would include decentralization but
not "community control" as the
concept is being espoused by some
groups.
In testimony before a public
hearing of the City Commission on
Human Rights, David A. Schulte,
chairman of the ADL New York
board, said '"a distinction must be
made between decentralization as
an administrative vehicle for the
improvement of the educational
process and 'community control,'
under the guise of decentralization,
as a political, economic and social
action instrument."
He said ADL is "unalterably op-
posed" to such "community con-
trol" since it would place "the
whim and wishes of a locality over
that of the state and city . . con-
trary to the best interests and wel-
fare of all the people of the City
.
who have established strong ties of
friendship with Israel. Their sup-
port for - the state is showii by the
many volunteers sent by the organ-
ization to work in kibutzim in Is-
rael, and by generous bequests to of New York."
the Jewish National Fund.
The dedication ceremony was Fiaticu
held at Kibutz Ma'aleh Hahamisha
in presence of the Finnish ambas-
sador, representatives of the for-
eign office and the Jewish National
Fund and volunteer groups from
Finland.
