Pincus formally opened the 28th World Zionist Congress Tuesday night at the Jerusalem concert hall as police forcibly dispersed a crowd of more than 400 Black Panthers, New Left adherents, members of the Jewish Defense League and others who had gathered to demonstrate. The police employed water cannons, clubs and horseback charges in what some observers described as an excessive display of force against people who seemed to be doing nothing more than milling around. Thirty-four persons were arrested outside the hall, among them David Mandel, Mariam-delegate to the Zionist Congress from New York. Another American, David Debeer, former national secretary of the Socialist Zionist youth movement, Dror, suffered a broken elbow in the melee. Hours before the congress opened, police made two apparent re- ventive arrests. They picked up Black Panther leaders Saadya Marciano and Chirlie - Biton, whom they placed under arrest "for previous offenses." Rabbi Meir Kahane, chairman of the Jewish Defense League, said he intended to address the congress with or without permission. Pincus said at a press conference lionday that he would not permit Kahane to ride roughshod 'over lemigtess rules. Pincus also said that the congress was prepared to -deal with any outbreaks of disorder precipitated by the JDL or the Black Panthers. The latter have demanded an appearance before the congress and hinted that they would disrupt the proceedings if rejected. Pincus said the JDL in America had been given ample opportunity to adhere to the correct procedure by joining the Zionist Organization electing delegates and attending the congress. He said that he had suggest- ed to the Black Panthers, who claim to represent Israel's poor and slum dwellers, that they submit written statements to the congress committee on social problems. He said the Panthers had not yet replied. Kahane, it was feared, might try to force his presence on the congress as he did at the World Conference on Soviet Jewry in Brussels last February. The JDL leader was ousted from that gathering, gaining sympathy in some quarters. Another issue which will probably be fought behind the scenes but could explode on the congress floor is the move by the World Zionist Or- ganization to cut in half its annual subsidy of $55,000 to the World Union of Jewish Students. The WUJS incurred the wrath of the WZO last year when it refused to sign the Jerusalem Program, which states the four main tenets of the Zionist movement. Instead, it adopted its own program at a meeting at Arad in 1970 which laid greater stress on immigration and called for the recognition • Dialects Among Jews Historically Reviewed (Continued on Page 14) Golda.

The letter stated, "We too must have the right to express ourselves in the same way as those Jews who were given all the facilities of the communications media to broadcast once again that they have no need of their national existence, of spiritual and cultural ties with the Jewish nation in other lands and with the Jewish national state." The letter continued, "We are among those Soviet Jews who have decided to hind our future forever together with that of the Jewish state and the Jewish people. For as, taking part is the establishment of a free independent and democratic Israel ' is a vital necessity and a national duty." (Special to The Jewish News) JERUSALEM—Preliminary to the commencement of the controversial sessions of the 28th World Zionist Congress, there was an influx of delegations to Jewish gatherings concerned with religious matters, the advancement of the Hebrew language, journalism and the communications media. Brit Ivrit Olamit concerned itself with the need to encourage Hebrew studies in the Diaspora, and an American delegation was especially active. The Orthodox rabbis were in session.

"We protest against provocations and slander, against Zionist attempts to decide the destinies of Soviet citizens and push them into a betrayal of their motherland."
