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. Mardi Harold Betrothed to Mr. David Rosenberg Vienna Orchestra, Finnish Christians Plant Trees JERUSALEM — Some 120 Mem- bers of the Vienna Orchestra, which has just completed a'six-day tour of Israel, planted the first trees in a forest which will bear the name of their orchestra and which will be planted by the Jewish National Fund near the Kennedy Memorial, in the Jerusalem Hills. The planting was attended by the Austrian ambassador and his wife, and dignitaries from the Vienna municipality. In another tree-planting cere- mony, delegates of the "Carmel Association" of Finland dedicated a wood, planted in the Sibelius Forest, near Giv'at Roach ht the Jerusalem Hills, and bearing the name of the organization.

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.
