Jewish Center President George
Keil said in a letter to members
this week:
"Whatever the reasons for the
union's action (in ending its strike
at five agencies), we sincerely
hope that this development will
help 'break the ice., For it seems
clear that there is some basis upon
which we can negotiate directly
with Local 1640 without UCS and
UF involvement.
"We hope that we shall very soon
be, able to resume direct negotia-
tions with the union." Keil stated.
"In light of this new development.
we are exploring with the Michi-
gan State Labor Mediation Board
the possibility of getting the union
to resume collectiv6 bargaining."

Picketing around the Jewish Cen.

week following an injunction grant-
ed to the Center against the union.
The court order allows only six
pickets at a time, each spaced 10

feet apart. They are on duty from
7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 to 5:30

Picketers and the Center have
accused each other of unfair prac-
tices, the union claiming that Cen-
ter patrons have charged picketers
with their cars, and the Center
claiming that picketers scattered
tacks on the parking lot. The union
has asked for a hearing against
the injunction.

The plan was such a success
that Mayor John Lindsay has
ordered 300 tactical -patrol force
policemen into the war against
crime in the streets disguised
not only as Hasidim, but other
clergymen, hippies, derelicts and
even women.

The plan involved assigning po-
licemen to the areas reporting the
greatest number of assaults. The
policemen will stay in the areas to
keep the level of incidents at its
new low level. They are walking
the streets of Brooklyn's Borough
Park, Williamsburg and also Man-
hattan's Lower East Side. "The
community has become a quiet,
sedate model integrated commun-
ity," Rabbi Wolf said, "so much
so that there is now a shortage of
apartments. There is a shortage of
houses and many families desiring
to purchase houses in the area
are becoming keenly aware of the
shortage."
The policemen affect an accent
to portray their roles more con-
vincingly. Their hats and caftans
have been custom-made, and they
have been carefully tutored in
Hasidic behavior. Beards were
grown and the long curls were
simulated. One policeman looked
