Israel's 23rd Anniversary Stamps
Honor Jerusalem and Hapoel Games Youth Accuse Hadassah of Inactivity
on Soviet Jewry; Hit by Mrs. Schenk

NEW YORK (JTA)--A large
group of young people calling them-
selves "Jewish Youth of Action"
staged a sit-in at the offices of
Hadassah Monday alleging that the
women's Zionist organization was
not active enough on behalf of
Soviet Jews.
The charge was rejected by Mrs.
Rose L. Halprin, honorary vice
president of Hadassah and chair-
man of its public relations depart-
ment, who acted as spokesman
in the absence of Hadassah's na-
tional president, Mrs. Faye Schenk,
who was out of town.

About 80.100 youngsters age

15-20 occupied the Hadassah of-

fices and took over its switch•
board at about 8:30 Monday
morning and vowed to stay over-
night if necessary until they
were receeived by Mrs. Schenk.
They chanted "We want action
now," "verbal commitments not
enough" "words into action"
and "Ant Yisroel Hai." They
held up banners and taped the
lobby walls with pictures of So-
viet Jews held prisoner.

Police arrived shortly after the
sit-in began but according to a
Hadassah spokesman they were
summoned by outsiders. The
spokesman said the police were
not being asked to evict the young-
sters as long as they did not bar
access to the office to Hadassah
staff.
A
JTA reporter said that as of
noon there were about 40 young-
sters sitting in and munching
matzo between impromptu prayer
services, Hebrew songs and shouts
for action.
The demonstrators handed out
mimeographed sheets listing their

grievances against Hadassah. They
alleged that the organization,
while a constituent of the Ame•i-
can Jewish Conference for Soviet
Jewry, failed to fulfill its pledges
to act on behalf of Soviet Jews.
They demanded, among other
things, that Hadassah contribute
"meaningful funds" to efforts on
behalf of Soviet Jewry, that it
urge members to attend rallies
for Soviet Jews and publicize them
in its mailings and publications.

Mrs. Halprin told the JTA
reporter that the charges against
Hadassah were "not true." She
said the organization is "con-
stantly concerned" with Soviet
Jewry and contributes a sub-
stantial share in the campaign
for Soviet Jewry.

Later, reached by telephone, Mrs.
Schenk assailed youth groups that
"set themselves up as spoliesmen
for Soviet Jewry" and "point a
finger of accusation at Hadassah."
In a telephone interview with the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Mrs.
Schenk said she did not question
the motives of the youngsters but
found their tactics "outrageous."
"They are not an authorized or
accredited group and Hadassah
is under no obligation to answer
their questions or accept their de-
mands. Hadassah's record on be-
half of Soviet Jews does not have
to be defended," she said.
The group left peacefully late
in the afternoon following a meet-
ing with Joel Eisenberg, asso-
ciate director of the Hadassah
Zionist Youth Commission. Eisen-
berg told them that if they send
representatives to a youth commis-
sion meeting next Sunday their
views would be placed before the
commission.

Dormitory, Humanities
Building at Hebrew U.

JERUSALEM — The faculty of
humanities at the Hebrew Univer-
sity's Givat Ram campus has ob-
tained a new facility with the
dedication of the Ruth and Jack
Popick-Miami Building.
The three-story building, lo-
cated between the Mazer Building
for the Institute of Jewish Studies

and the Sprinzak Building for the

Institute of Contemporary Jewry,
contains a large lecture hall, semi-
nar and research rooms, language
laboratory, teaching rooms, a li-
brary, a recording room, a stu-
dent cafeteria and rooms for the
offices of the dean and the sec-
retariat of the faculty of humani-
ties.

The Freda Wishnick Residence
Hall, a two-wing dormitory which
will accommodate 120 students,
was officially handed over to the
Hebrew University at a cere-
mony on its Mt. Scopus campus.

The function was part of a dou-
ble ceremony at which Canada
House, a gift by the Hadassah-
Wizo Organization of Canada, also
was officially presented to the
university. Both buildings are part
of the University City now rising
on the western slope of the Mt.
Scopus 'campus.
