NEW YORK — A Long Island Jewish communal expert h a s strongly urged rejection of the "myth" that young Jews "will not relate to the adult community," adding his conviction that while they may insist on relating "on their own terms," they are also "capable of compromise and negotiation." That view was expressed by Percy Abrams, executive direc- tor of the YM and YWHA of Wantagh, in a review of services being provided by the Jewish community to Jewish students on nine campuses in Nassau and Suf- folk counties. He presented his evaluation at the first Nassau-Suffolk Jewish Community Conference sponsored by the commission on Synagogue relations of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York in cooperation with the Nas- sau-Suffolk Association of Rabbis. Abrams asserted also that young Jews "will accept help" from the adult community "but not dicta- tion." He declared that "they are conscious—as who is not—of the generation gap but they also know that there are people in both generations who can work together for the strengthening of the Jewish community and who can link up the generations." He offered a number of propo- sals to help bring Jewish youth into programs aimed at their eventual participation as adults in Jewish communal life. Abrams argued that the adult Jewish community, "amorphous as it may be, and through what- ever organizations any one in- dividual may wish to work through," should decide that "it must put resources into the Jewish student community to Rrtli Announcements March 31 — To Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Jackier (Rochelle Ko- mer), 19763 Cranbrook, a daugh- ter, Ariana Beth. * * * March 31—To Dr. and Mrs. Ar- nold Ager (Carol Cetron), former Detroiters of Los Angeles, a son, Anthony Ross. * * March 26 — To Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Norber ( Charlene Yol- leck), 17000 Pennsylvania, South- field, a son, Howard Steven. * r.

He cited a memorandum of the American Zionist Youth Founda- tion of last February to the effect that indigenous campus news- papers had a combined circula- tion of more than 100,000 and pro- posed wider encouragement of publication of such student news- papers. Another proposal he offered call- ed for recognition that "there are struggling groups on campus that need help now. Students have transiency of membership. Groups die out and there is no continuity. "No yoUth movement," he said, "has long survived without moral and financial support from an adult group," adding that the adult community "can provide the in- strumentalities for continuity." Peggy Mann's New Biography, `Golda' Due on April 29 Peggy Mann's new biography of Golda Meir will be published by Coward, McCann & Geoghegan on April 29 — the anniversary of Is- rael's independence. Miss Mann's interest in Golda and in Israel began some 14 years ago when, in the course of a round- the-world writing trip, she made her first visit to the beleaguered country. She has since returned to Israel many times, finding the blend of past, present and future particularly intriguing. Each time she returned, Miss Mann found that the tiny country had changed so much as to be almost unrecog- nizable. She was most impressed by the Israelis' knowledge of their own country's intricate history and staggered by the lack of knowledge which American Jews seem to have about their homeland — and about Golda, whom Robert St. John calls "the amazing woman who at 70 (and a grandmother) became the head of a country with more problems than it had people." The author found, for example, that Golda's American childhood has been virtually unknown, due par- tially to Mrs. Meir's reluctance to discuss her private life, and to the fact that only one other biog- raphy of her (first published in 1963) has ever been written. Miss Mann therefore began her research by concentrating on Golda's early life both in Pinsk, Russia and in Milwaukee. Begin- ning in American libraries and archives, she went on to conduct extensive interviews here with Golda's younger sister, Clara Stern, who helped her tremen- dously by making available a rare autobiography. Written in Hebrew by their older sister, Shana Korn- gold, the book covers the Mabo- vitch early years in Russia, Amer- ica and Palestine. Miss Mann also spent considerable time with Gol- da's son and daughter-in-law be- fore returning once again to Israel, where she met and spoke with many of the people closest to Golda both in her political and her pri- vate lives. Among them were Mrs. Meir's oldest friend, Reginia Med- zini (who has known her since the second grade), her personal assistant Mrs. Lou Kaddar and political adviser Simcha Dinitz, and many government dignitaries with whom Mrs. Meir consults daily.

In New York to consult with the Latin American and intercultural affairs departments of the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith, Fr. Mejia said Sister Alda will work with Catholic parochial school educators throughout Latin Amer- ica to instill better knowledge of. Jews and Judaism. She also will build a system of friendly relations with Latin American Jewish communities on issues of mutual concern. Headquarters and activities will be centered in Buenos Aires, Ar- gentina, "a country with an anti-Semitic past," Father Mejia said. According to Father Mejia, the expansion has been in the works since 1968 as the "logical out- come" of the first continental Catholic-Jewish Conference, which was held in Bogota, Columbia, un- der the auspices of the Bishops' Counci 1, the Anti-Defamation League and Bnai Brith District 23. A major achievement of the con- ference was the development of a series of recommendations to bring about revisions of textbooks to re: move material considered to show religious prejudice.
