Kahane Talk at Brooklyn College Ends With JDL-Black Student Melee
NEW YORK (JTA)—A melee
broke out May 4 at Brooklyn Col-
lege involving hundreds of black
and white students shortly after
Rabbi Meir Kahane, national chair-
man of the Jewish Defense League,
delivered a speech at the student
center on the plight of Soviet
Jewry.
One student was arrested. One
campus guard was reportedly hit
on the head by a chair and was
taken to Kings County Hospital.
Following his speech, Rabbi Ka-
hane and his followers marched
to the canteen in the basement of
the Student Union building and
into a room usually occupied by
black students where, according
to JDL'ers, they were attacked
by the black students. The black
students claimed JDL had pro-
voked them.
Speaking to 500 JDL mem-

hers and sympathizers, Yossi
Templeton, a JDL activist,
castigated Brooklyn College
President John W. Kneller and
the college administration for
"giving in to groups who they
were afraid would wreck the
school if their demands were
not met" while ignoring Jewish
students who, he said, would
only present Kneller with peti-
tions which he could throw into
a wastebasket and ignore.
To the cheers of his audience,
Templeton declared that Kneller
is going to learn that "the goody-
goodies (Jewish students) are now
baddy-batrldies who can wreck the
school with the best of them."
In his short but fiery speech,
delivered shortly before a sched-
uled meeting with Kneller, Tem-
pleton stated: "If a Jew wants
to sit in the basement area of the
Student Union building, he is going
to sit. If people attack Jews, we
will break their heads. Kneller,
if you are not capable of keeping
order, we will keep order and
you can leave."
The crowd greeted the end of
the speech with cries of "Never
again ! Never again ! Never
again !" and the singing of He-
brew songs before dispersing to
return to JDL headquarters.
Earlier in the day, a temporary
injunction, requested by Brooklyn
College, was granted barring Rabbi
Kahane and JDL nonstudent mem-
bers from the college campus. JDL
has an ont-campus chapter.
The injunction was viewed as
a blunder by some faculty mem-
bers who said singling out Rabbi
Kahane and the JDL when other
individuals and groups, some of

the JDL.
They believed the injunction,
which the administration made
public by issuing mimeographed
statements to the students, would
garner support for Rabbi Kahane
and the JDL. A JDL member,
commenting on the injunction,
called it "totally discriminatory."
President Kneller later issued
a statement that does not try
to affix blame for the incidents
but rather recommends that "we
should try all the harder to work
together."
He said: "It will avail us noth-
ing to make any group bear the
brunt of the blame. This is a cam-
pus problem, and we must deal
Israel Bond Strike
Called at Midnight
if No Progress
NEW YORK (JTA)—Both sides
agreed Tuesday that no progress
has been made in negotiations to
avert a strike by 500 employes of
the Israel Bond Organization,
scheduled to start at midnight to-
day when the present contract ex-
pires.
Representatives of Local 1707 of
the Community and Social Agency
Employes Union, AFL CIO met
Monday night with representatives
of the Israel Bond Organization
management.
Further meetings are expected
but none have been scheduled. Ac-
cording to Eric Strong, represent-
Local 1707, the Bond management
said lit would agree to meet again
when the union reduced its de-
mands. Strong said the union was
standing pat.
Wages and certain fringe
benefits are the crux of the dis-
pute. The union contends that
Israel Bond Organization sales -
have increased from $105,000,-
000 annually to $175,000,000
over the last four years. The
Bond organization derives its en-
tire budget from the Israel
Treasury. According to its pro-
spectus, the treasury has to re-
mit 6 per cent of annual Bond
receipts to cover expenses in
the U.S.
A Bond spokesman said that
even based on the higher sales,
the treasury remittances would
fall far short of covering the union
demands, which he estimated
would amount to $7,000,000 per
year.
Strong said that in a secret bal-
lot last week, the workers voted
to "remain steadfast" by "an
overwhelming" margin. He also
stated that negotiations have been
going on for four weeks and that
the two sides were "still far apart
on most issues." Strong said that
the local was asking "substantial
increases" over what he said was
the current $95-a-week minimum
and a $14,000-a-year average.
He said that the health plan
provided by management was con-
sidered "not bad" by the workers
but that the pension plan was con-
sidered "useless."
The Israel Bond Organization
spokesman stated that the demands
of the union would mean an addi-
tional cost of $20,000 for each pro-
fessional employe over the next
two years in salary increases,
severance pay increase, insurance
and other fringe benefits. For ad-
ministrative employes, he said,
the additional cost for each would
be $19,000 annually and for
clerical workers it would be
$10,000.
Strong noted that there were
walkouts of several days each at
contract time in 1967 and 1969 be-
cause employes then, as now, re-
fused to work without a contract.
with it together. We must re-estab-
lish the principle. of community."
"I deeply believe that we must
re-establish dialogue," the college
president said, "and have initiated
a series of meetings with all
groups under the auspices of the
dean of students. This campus is
big enough for everyone. No group,
no interest, no legitimate activity
will be left behind or kept out or
ignored."
Kneller also stated his support
of open admissions and announced
the hiring of a security director
and the expansion of the campus
security force. "But crime will
stop," he stressed, "only when we
all have the will to make it stop."
"In Vietnam," declared Kneller,
"thousands and thousands continue
to die in a needless, unconscion-
able war. In Soviet Russia, Jews
are kept captive and are prevented
from going to their homeland. In
the Mid East, tensions continue to
build—the security of Israel is
endangered—and the possibility of
a new war grows . . . I have sup-
ported and continue to support
peaceful activities against these
wrongs . . . (and) all of us must
convince those in authority that we
will no longer acquiesce to evil."
But, the executive concluded, "Let
us not waste our efforts bickering
and fighting among ourselves. We
have wars to end, Jews to free,
racism to destroy and poverty to
abolish."
