Family Flees Repression in Latvia,
Son Finds It in New York School

NEW YORK (JTA)—Two Jew-
ish- emigres from Soviet Latvia
have written to Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller, Mayor John V. Lind-
say, the board of education and
the New York Times to protest
anti-Semitic "harassment" of their
younger son by his sixth-grade
black schoolmates.
Mitchell and Mia Vickers wrote
"We are tired of being silent. It
was not our intention to escape
Russian chauvinism only to be sac-
rificed to black racism. Our young-
er son has been harassed and
called 'dirty Jew." Two of his teeth
were broken. He still has seven
years of study in primary and
secondary school. We do not want
him crippled physically or men-
tally during those years and we
want him to gain knowledge at
the same time."
In a weekend telephone inter-
view with the Jewish Telegra-
phic Agency, Vickers said that
his younger son, who has been
attending classes only a day or
two a week, was assailed again
by black classmates last Friday,
the day before his parents' let-
ter appeared in the Times. Vick-
ers emphasized that he was not
accusing all blacks of anti-Semi-
tism, only those in his son's
classes. He said he recognized
that blacks "have the right to
exist just as we have the right
to exist," but that because of
black youngsters' hostility to-
ward his son, "There Is no order
in the class, there is no learn-
ing."

said he and his family left Riga
and the Soviet Union on Aug. 6,
1965, after having had their emi-
gration requests rejected for nine
years. The authorities, he said,
scoffed at their request to join
relatives in Israel, telling them:
"There is no reason to let you
out. You are quite independent
of them."
On the suggestion of a Jew who
had managed to gain emigration
permission, the Vickerses wrote to
the Soviet and Latvian authorities
every week for eight months. The
authorities finally decided, he
said, that they were too trouble-
some to put up with, and let them
leave. The family went to Israel
and then to the United States.
They left the USSR before Jews
there started petitioning and pub-
licly agitating for emigration
rights.

Broomfield: U.S.
Sending Arms to
Israel at Fast Pace

In comments on the floor of the
House of Representatives, Con-
gressman William S. Broomfield,
of the 18th District, said more and
better arms have been delivered
to Israel in the past few months
than ever before in the history
of American-Israeli relations."
He added that the U.S. must
"find a way to reduce the time
between the original request of Is-
rael for weapons and final delivery
of the equipment."
Rep. Broomfield, who related the
background of the current situa-
tion in the Middle East, said the
U.S. is morally obligated to bolster
the Israeli defensive capacity, but
also obligated by virtue of Amer-
ica's own security.

DR. LEO PFEFFER

Dr. Leo Pfeffer, a professor of
constitutional law and a leading
authority on separation of church
and state, will speak 8:15 p.m.
Tuesday at Temple Israel, with re-
gard to the controversial Proposal
C.

Author of several books on this
topic, one of which is "Church,
State and Freedom," Dr. Pfeffer
is special counsel of American
Jewish Congress and has appeared
as counsel before the Supreme
Court and as "friend of court" in
almost every case in conjunction
with separation of church and
state. He is chairman of the de-
partment• of political science at
Long Island University.
The National Council of Jewish
Women and American Jewish Con-
gress, with the cooperation of the
Jewish Community Council, have
taken a stand in support of Pro-
posal C—a stand in keeping with
the traditional concept of separa-
tion of church and state.
The present Michigan Constitu-
tion (Art. I Sect. 4) provides that
"No person shall be compelled to
attend, or, against his consent, to
contribute to the election or sup-
port of any place of religious wor-
ship, or to pay tithes, taxes, of
religion. No money shall be appro-
priated or drawn from the treas-
ury for the benefit of any religious
sect or society, theological or reli-
gious seminary; nor shall property
belonging to the state be appro-
priated for any such preference."
The public is invited to hear Dr.
Pfeffer.

Proposal C Nixed
by Rabbi Donin

Rabbi •ayim Donin of Cong.
Bnai David, in a letter circulated
to members of his congregation,
has taken a stand opposing the con-
troversial Proposal C as "neither
in the Jewish interest nor in the
interest of the general public."
Rabbi_ Donin clarified his posi-
tion on the constitutional amend-
ment designed to bar Parochiaid
and other services currently en-
joyed by students attending non-
public schools.

He said that this amendment
"is not in the interests of the
synagogues that conduct Hebrew
schools on their premises," the
communal Hebrew school system
and Hebrew day schools "be-
cause it endangers the local pro-
perty-tax exemption they pre-
sently enjoy.

"The very ambiguity, doubt and
confusion that the language of the
amendment raises, poses a suf-
ficiently dangerous possibility that
I don't think a Jewish community
should risk," he said.

LOS ANGELES—New clues to
the cause and possible prevention
of cataracts and blindness were
reported at a meeting at the City
of Hope Medical Center.
Forty leading blood and eye spe-
cialists from this country and
abroad were attending a symposi-
um on the red blood cell and the
lens of the eye, sponsored by the
National Eye Institute of the U.S.
Public Health Service and the
Institute for Biomedical Studies at
the City of Hope.
Dr. Ernest Beutler, City of Hope
chairman of medicine and director
of hematology, discussed a rare
hereditary disorder called galacto-
kinase deficiency, which interferes
with normal use of milk sugar in
the body. Dr. Beutler, together
with collaborators in different
parts of the U.S., have found three
patients in whom a total absence
Of galactokinase caused cataracts.

Cataracts are a major cause
of blindness, and Dr. Beutler

and other symposium speakers
pointed out that a galactose-free
diet prevents eye damage in
• galactokinase deficiency and in
another hereditary disorder,
galactosemia.
Dr. Beutler also suggested that
individuals with a partial defi-
ciency of galactokinase, much more
common than the totally deficient
state, might also be susceptible to
cataract damage.
