Many Retirees in Miami Feeling Economic Pinch
MIAMI BEACH (ZINS)—Thou-
sands of elderly Jews who retired
to Miami Beach find themselves
financially hard pressed and un-
able to cope with a spiraling in-
flation on Social Security income,
according to a press report, filed
by a correspondent for Haaretz.
The dispatch speaks of families,
LICTED ERakDS • DETROIT U S A • 4: n3Of
practically all of whom are con-
centrated at the southern end of
the beach area, who have to get
along on a monthly income of $230,
which is insufficient to meet the
ever-increasing cost of living. Their
plight is tragic, in that they have
contributed to Social Security for
many years in the hope that on re-
tirement, they would be able to
live comfortably at a decent stan-
dard.
The sum of $230, writes the
Haaretz correspondent, would give
them a proper standard of living
in Israel, but the community shows
no inclination to leave Miami
Beach.
Thousands
Suddenland—desert land,
Impotency's firebrand,
Sterile sky—sterile sea,
Mourning song—
Soliloquy.
Suddenland—desert land,
Entered under prophet's hand,
Barren soil—silent germ,
Seeded by a fossil's sperm.
Suddenland--promised land,
Legacy of stone command,
Pregnant now the race's womb,
Swelled past prophet's hidden
tomb.
Suddenland—promised land,
Born of rock—born of sand,
Born on Canaan's ancient tell,
Born in fire—born in Hell.
Suddenland—Holy Land,
Cedar and acacia stand,
Know this cry of pain to be
The cradle song of History.

TEL
AVIV (ZINS)—After a
private conversation with the So-
viet ambassador to the U. S., Ana-
toly Dobrynin, Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann disclosed a warning by
Dobrynin that Israel should stop
influencing Soviet Jews, and Jews
in the free world, from demon-
strating for the right of Soviet
Jewry to leave the USSR.
If Israel does not heed this warn-
ing and the anti-Soviet campaign
continues, "It will be very bad,"
Dobrynin said to Dr. Goldmann.
The details of this incident were
reported in the Israel daily
Ha'aretz. Some who follow Soviet
affairs closely believe that Dobry-
nin's warning foreshadows a sharp
reaction by the Kremlin against
the struggle for freedom by Soviet
Jews, and that a repressive move-
ment will be felt soon.
Rosenwasser Encounters
Young Jew in El Fatah
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Samuel
Rosenwasser, the Metulla watch-
man kidnaped by El Fatah and
held prisoner for 15 months before
his release, has been recounting
some of his experiences.
One episode stands out. Follow-
ing his capture, he was transport-
ed to a place of confinement in
Baghdad. After beatings and
threats, he was promised release
if he would cooperate and answer
questions.
When his interrogator left the
room for a moment, Rosenwasser
was alone with a Fatah guard, who
unexpectedly spoke to him in Yid-
dish, saying "It's a pipe dream.
You'll never get out of here alive."
Rosenwasser is certain that this
person was Jewish and that he was
a regular member of the El Fatah
forces. It is not incredible, he said,
that in the New Left, which con-
tains many Jews, there could be
some who know some Yiddish.

Synagogue Leader Blasts UN, U.S.
Inaction in S. Sudan Black Killings
NEW YORK (JTA)—The presi-
dent of the National Women's
League of the United Synagogue
of America has condemned United
Nations and United States inac-
tion on "the genocidal campaign
of destruction that the Arab mili-
tary dictatorship in Khartoum is
waging against black Africans in
the South Sudan."
Mrs. Henry N. Rapaport of
Scarsdale expressed regret, in
a statement, that the UN Com-
mission on Human Rights "took
no action" at its recent meeting
in Geneva on a petition favoring
an investigation of the Sudanese
situation.
"America," she added, "must
share heavily in the responsibility
for this neglect, because once
again the United States failed to
speak out on an issue of massive
racial oppression."
Mrs. Rapaport added that it was
"unfortunate that the United
States did not at least see fit to
demand the Human Rights Com-
mission order an investigation by
an official fact-finding body."
She said "all available informa-
tion" supported the charge of the
South Sudanese that "the crime of
genocide has been committed
against 4,000,000 people of South
Sudan because they are Black, be-
cause they are Africans and be-
cause they do not belong to the
dominant religion of the North."
Mrs. Rita E. Hauser, the
Arthur Stillman, economic and
social affairs adviser at the U.S.
Mission to the UN, told the JTA
that "it was absolutely impossible
for us to cite each specific ex-
ample" of oppression at the Geneva
meeting, and that "this year it was
felt the Jews in the Soviet Union
was the issue we would highlight."
As described by Mrs. Rapaport,
the South Sudanese are being op-
pressed by "a minority of Arabized
Moslems who control the Moscow-
oriented re g i m e at Khartoum,"
and are "struggling .. . in a des-
perate endeavor to save their lives,
keep their remaining liberties and
protect themselves against en-
forced Moslemization."
Mrs. Rapaport charged that
"large numbers of Egyptian troops
and several hundred Russian 'ad-
visors' are actively participating
in this genocidal war against the
Africans."
Nationalism
The technical advances which
are common to all nations strip
them more and more of their na-
tional characteristics. Therefore
they become nationalist. Modern
nationalism is a defensive move-
ment against the crude encroach-
ments of civilization.
—Franz Kafka
American representative on the
UN Human Rights Commission,
advised the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the situation in the
Sudan was not officially dis-
cussed in Geneva because no
government asked that it be.
She did, however, "spend con-
siderable time" discussing the
matter with various delegates,
she said.
