Young Magician Duo • One of the demands, he said, was for apprehension of an indi- vidual who "assaulted" Elliot Rosman, a Jew, who is man- power director of the Crown Heights Community Corp. He charged that Rosman was as- saulted on Aug. 27 at a summer festival in Prospect Park, spon- sored by the community cor- poration as part of its program this year. David Garber, executive director of a newly formed Association of Jewish Community and Anti-Pov- erty Workers, charged the CDA with "insensitivity toward the Jew- ish delegate agencies which are funded by the CDA." He cited, as an example, "the fact that al- though numerous requests were made by Jewish delegate agencies for funds for spot announcements and advertisements" for elections to Community Corporations sched- Wed for this week "such as those granted to other minorities, they were not even granted the cour- tesy of a reply, let alone the funds themselves." Rabbi Arnold Wolf, chairman of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council, ex- pressed "dismay that after two months of a so-called city dragnet to apprehend the bombers, no sig- nificant leads have been uncov- Call Me at NEW YORK (JTA)—Robert H. Arnow, president of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, announced Tuesday a number of develop. ments which followed JTA board decisions and which were "in the mainstream of our efforts to keep abreast of the fast-moving times." He said that, following a summer visit to Europe and Israel where he surveyed JTA operations, the Israeli news agency (INA), a sub- sidiary of the JTA, arranged for distribution of foreign news to Is- raeli newspapers through ITIM, a cooperative news service of the Israeli press. PHOTOGRAPHY Specializing Arnow said the arrangement "will ultimately eliminate a deficit but will continue-to provide world- wide news to the Israeli commun- ity." Noting that members of the JTA board ''are taking an active part in all of these changes and operations," Arnow added that Raymond Epstein, president of the Chicago Welfare Fund, had acted in his behalf in overseeing the transfer of INA service to ITIM and in discharging JTA obligations to 12 long-term employes.

The JTA president said that Hoffberger discussed JTA matters with Michael Sacher, head of the Joint Palestine Appeal and of the London JTA committee, and that Starr was now in London discuss- ing with Sacher some of the JTA board plans for the future. He said other board members, represent- ing American and Canadian com- munities from coast to coast, par- ticipated in board meetings and represented JTA in the community and at budget hearings. He described as "an exciting new development" the JTA's first news internship program, design- ed to bring young people into Jew- ish journalism. He said several apprentices had started work on the Detroit Jewish News under the aegis of Philip Slomovitz, its editor and publisher and JTA vice presi- dent. Arnow said the internship program, for which board mem- ber Julius Berman of New York is chairman, would also "insure con- tinuity in Jewish communal af- fairs." The JTA president declared, "It is essential, if we look at condi- tions world-wide and in the Middle East, that we provide a service which can supply the total Jewish community with the news at the very moment it becomes news." He declared this would require "an examination of every area of our editorial operations to reach the high level of quality we seek as BLAIR STUDIO STU RABEN JT A Establishes Co-Op Agreement; Will Publish French News Bulletin Arnow also announced that, after a series of meetings with Harry Houdini, the f a m o u s the leadership of the French- escape artist, had little on two Jewish community, plans were Lathrup Village boys, Keith Reich completed for a daily news bul- and Lewis Check. letin, in French to begin pub- Known professionally as "The lication in Paris in October, thus Great Kid-this," they have been extending the network of JTA performing in their own shows for publications, Be said Epstein bad some four months.

Perform Like Pros • Crown Heights is one of the city's 26 officially-designated poverty areas and has been the scene of sharp differences between Jews and blacks over funding of anti- poverty projects for the section. It is one of two of the areas where Jews have substantial representa- tion on the local community cor- porations through which anti- poverty funds are channeled by the Council Against Poverty, the policy-making city agency for pov- erty programs, and the Community Development Agency, the operat- ing arm of the Council. On July 20, the offices of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council, an umbrella agency for Jewish organizations and syna- gogues in the area, was wrecked by a firebomb. Mayor John V. Lindsay paid a personal visit to the scene and promised intensive action to find the vandals and to provide city aid in rebuilding tne burned-out office. In a statement distributed at City Hall, in connec- tion with a protest visit by the 30 rabbis and communal workers, Rabbi Sholom Gorodetsky, Crown Heights representative on the Coun- cil Against Poverty, declared: "The situation in regard to dis- crimination against people of the Jewish faith in general and resi- dents of Crown Heights in par- ticular has reached proportions of grave concern." The group charged there was a "conspiracy" by a "militant few" to drive- all—Jews out of Crown Heights. Rabbi Gorodetsky added that "so-called responsible people who are supposted to represent various ethnic groups in the Coun- cil Against Poverty" are "in fact blatantly indifferent and outright discriminatory against the Jewish people." He charged that such statements as "It's not my fault you were born Jewish" were "un- fortunately very common and to be expected at most of the meet- ings of the Council" he had at- tended. He said a list of six de- mands had been prepared for presentation to Councilman Theo- dore Silverman, who represents the section on the City Council.

Other demands prepared for submission to Silverman urge a stop to the purported conspiracy to drive Jews out of Crown Heights; arrest of those responsible for the fire-bombing; immediate reconstruction of the fire-bombed office; and a stop to "the blatant discrimination" charged against the Council Against Poverty and the CDA. The CDA was charged specifically with bias in allocation of funds for the forthcoming pov- erty agency elections and in day to day contact with Operation Belfrye, an anti-poverty project MAX SCHRUT being carried out by the Crown For Good Photographs Heights Jewish Community Coun- and Prompt Service cil. ror, TEL 341-1330 • Mae., T ur.
