Young Artists' Fund
Raises a High in Funds
NEW YORK (JTA)—"The tell-
ing sacrifices Israelis make for
their culture and art" are the best
indications of Israel's will to sur-
vive, it was asserted by William
Mazer, president of the America-
Israel Cultural Foundation, which
finances and coordinates U.S.-
Israeli cultural projects.
Mazer reported to the founda-
tion's officers and board that the
foundation's
Sharett Fund
for
Young Artists raised $57,340 this
year, compared with $17,200 last
year.
Among the year's projects cited
by Mazer were the granting of
more than 300 music and art schol-
arships to young Israelis; the crea-
tion of a vocal department at the
Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusa-
lem; and the establishment of
"Culture-for-the-People" and con-
cert programs.
Itzhak Rabin, Israeli ambassa-
dor to the U.S., urged the foun-
dation to maintain its cultural
projects, which he called vital to
his nation's spirit. Sir Isaac
Wolfson of London was one of
five newly elected board mem-
bers.
Sol M. Linowitz• former U.S.
ambassador to the Organization of
American States, was one of three
elected to the advisory board.
Violinist Isaac Stern is chairman
of the board.
JDC ASSISTED 323,000
INDIVIDUALS IN 25 COUNTRIES
AT COST OF $23,832,000
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Joint
Distribution Committee assisted
323,000 men, women and children
in 25 countries at a cost of $23,-
832,000 last year, it was reported
here by Samuel L. Haber, the
agency's executive vice-chairman.
The report stated that its pro-
gram concentrated on Europe,
North Africa and Israel.
The agency said it was shut out
of the Arab countries, but operates
in Rumania and Yugoslavia where
it assists more than 16,000 Jews
in these two countries. Expendi-
tures in Europe accounted for
more than a third of the alloca-
tions, with about 173,000 Jews be-
ing assisted. In the Moslem coun-
tries, which accounted for nearly
one-fifth of the 1969 budget, the
JDC program aided almost 45,000
individuals, mostly children and
young people.
Its programs in Israel are car-
ried out in institutions devoted to
ill and elderly immigrants. The
JDC reported it has been able
to operate with little hinderance in
Iran, Tunisia and Morocco.
Haber reported that thousands
of Polish Jews who were forced to
flee their country after the Six-
Day War have received help from
the agency. He added that the
needs "of tens of thousands of ag-
ed, ill and needy Jews" in other
East and West European coun-
tries remains "just as compelling"
today. Louis Broido, JDC chair-
man, stated in his introductory
message to the report, that "1969
continued to be a year of anguish
for Jews in need throughout the
world."

Students Ask Thant
to Aid Soviet Jews
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Student
Struggle for Soviet Jewry has
called on United Nations Secretary
General U Thant, visiting Moscow,
to intervene personally on behalf
of Russian Jews who want to emi-
grate to Israel.
The cable addressed to Thant by
the group referred specifically to
the cases of Boris Kochubiyevsky
and Mrs. Lilia Ontman, two Soviet
Jews imprisoned after their re-
quests for exit permits were denied.
Kochubiyevsky is serving a three-
year sentence and Mrs. Ontman a
two-and-a-half year term.
The cable said, "Numerous
authenticated letters from Rus-
sian Jews plead for implementa-
tion of the Human Rights Decla-
ration, Article 13/2, ratified by
the USSR.; 'Everyone has the
right to leave any country, in-
cluding his own.' Boris Kochubi-

your intervention."
A spokesman for the student
struggle said the cable was ad-
dressed to Thant in care of the

Secretary General's office here. He
said he was sure the message
would be delivered.
