Knesset Measure Would Stiffen
Penalties for Serious Crimes

JERUSALEM (JTA) — An
amendment to the criminal
code providing stiffer penal-
ties for crimes of violence
and other offenses passed its
first reading in the Knesset
Tuesday.
The measure, introduced
by Justice Minister Yaacov
Shimshon Shapiro, would
make mandatory harsher sen-
tences for criminals using
firearms, criminals who oper-
ate in gangs, protection rack-
eteers and suborners of wit-
nesses.
Shapiro said the maximum
penalty for running a protec-
tion racket would be in-
creased from one year to 3-5
years.
A three-year sentence
would be imposed on anyone

tremism is not limited to ter- are alleviated, there is no

rorist groups but is "a basic
trait" of Arab political be-
havior and "a major tool" of
most Arab leaders, accord-
ing to Seymour Graubard,
national chairman of the An-
ti-Defamation League of Bnai
Brith.
Describing the atrocities at
Munich and Israel's Lod Air-
port as being neither "isolat-
ed nor surprising phenom-
ena," the report says they
are "part of an Arab history
lend tradition of extremism
and violence which has con-
tributed the word 'assassin'
to international. lexicons."
The report, prepared un-
der the direction of Arnold
Forster, ADL's general coun-
sel, declares that Arab hat-
red of the Jews is rooted in
the Koran, the Islamic Holy
Book.
It goes on to say that
"Arab extremists do not seek
merely to eradicate Israel;
they want to destroy world
Jewry which stands behind
Israel. It will be tragic if
Jews — and the rest of the
world are led to believe
that Arab extremists are a
tiny minority in the Arab
world and that they do not
reflect the real feelings of
the Arab masses."
Calling Arab extremism "a
major barrier" to an accom-
modation between Arabs and
Israelis, the report says that
"many Westerners still mis-
understand" the real mean-
ing of the extremism and
tend to condone it.
ADL asserts that "even if
many — or most — of the

The justice minister also
listed a series of offenses in-
cluding protection, robbery
and burglary in which the
use of arms would subject
the offender to double the
normal penalty. Sentences
also would be doubled for

reason to believe that Arab
leaders will become moder-
ate and reasonable."
Declaring that Arab lead-
ers themselves exhort the
Arab people to prepare for
another war against Israel,
ADL discounts claims that
these "demagogues on the
platform are reasonable and
compromising in private."
"Eventually," the report
says, "they feel they have to
act on their words." It cites
the events leading to the Six
Day War as "a perfect ex-
ample of how Nasser was
trapped by his own extremist
position and could not back
down without loss of face and
perhaps loss of position as
well."
Noting that Arab extrem-
ism has spawned increasing
violence in the name of
"right," "justice" or even
"peace," the report states
that political life in the Arab
states has been characterized
b y assassinations, revolu-
tions, and plots against fel-
low Arabs.

Grant to Aid Project
on Jews of the West

BERKELEY —One of the
nation's leading foundations,
the Charles E. Merrill Trust,
has awarded a grant of
520,000 to the Western Jew-
ish History Center of the
Judah L. Magnes Memorial
Museum here.
The grant will permit the
center to expand two major
historical projects, the prep-
aration of bibliographies for
the Jews of the West and en-
largement of its oral history

in business, finance, science,
religion, politics, education
and social reform,

Panthers Eye Party

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
former Knesset member
sympathetic to the Black
Panthers, Mrs. Shulamit
Aloni, said in Tel Aviv that
the anti-establishment organ-
ization of slum youths may
form a political party to run
for Knesset seats next year
"if they have enough
money."

New Interest

The Fischer -Spassky
games, the earlier popular-
ity of Sammy Reshevsky, the
role chess played among
Jews in Eastern European
countries, combine to inspire
interest in the historical as-
pects of the game as well
as in the major plays.
Two important books have
just been reissued by Dover
Publications as guides for
players and as an inspiration
learning about previous
experiences.
In one of them, Fred Rein-
feld deals with "Complete
Chess Strategents." It is re-
plete with scores of games
that serve as teaching mate-
rial as well as in guiding
learners as well as experts.
Then there is "My Best
Games of Chess" (1935-
1957) by V. V. Smyslov, the
former world champion.
Smyslov's has been trans-
lated and edited by P. H.
Clarke.
The introductory essays
are additional factors in
creating an interest and pro-
viding instruction in the
popular game.

Tell It to the Sergeant

JERUSALEM — The mili-
tary ombudsman, Rav-Aluf
(res.) Haim Laskov takes up
his new post on Nov. 1.
Under the new law, any
soldier may complain to him
about an action which he
feels has directly harmed
him, or caused some privi-
lege to be unjustly withheld
from him.
Close relatives of a soldier
who feel that he has received
unjust treatment also may
appeal to Laskov, the com-
missioner of soldiers' com-
plaints, as he is known.
