An Historic Anniversary, 25th
Year Since Partition, Marked
by Appeal for UN Fairness

NEW YORK (JTA)—Dr. Emanuel Neumann, who was
one of the American Zionist leaders present at the United
Nations 25 years ago when it adopted the establishment of
a Jewish state in Palestine, accused the UN of unfriendli-
ness toward the nation it helped create.
Addressing more than 800 per-
sons at a commemorative as-
„,11,,,*41.,,.
•
sembly sponsored by the Herzl
Institute and the American Zion-
ist Federation to mark the 25th
anniversary of the partition res-
olution adopted on Nov. 29, 1947,
Dr. Neumann deplored "the
change that has developed in
the past quarter century in the
UN that has made the original
friendly sponsor of the Jewish
state the unfair antagonist of
Israel."
But he paid tribute to Nov.
25, 1947, as the UN's "finest
hour." He said: "We hall today Dr. Emanuel Neumann
not the organization called the United Nations nor its
present structure and the composition of its membership.
We hail the spirit of '47."
Rabbi Israel Miller, president of the AZF, cautioned
friends of Israel that attempts may be made shortly once

again.to pressure Israel into accepting terms for an in-

terim settlement with Egypt which could be harmful to

Israel's security interests as well as to the possibilities
for a just, long-range settlement."

NEW YORK (JTA)—A study of teen-agers in three integrated East Coast school districts
reveals a high incidence of anti-Jewish prejudice—but with black youngsters less anti-Semitic than
their white counterparts. The study, made public Sunday by the Anti-Defamation League of final
Brith, further reveals little or no effort on the part of the schools themselves to improve intergroup
relations and attitudes.
The findings were presented at the ADL's 59th annual meeting here. Seymour Grauhard,
ADL national chairman, said the study, to be published next year as the seventh book in an ADL
series on various aspects of anti-Semitism and other prejudice, was conducted for the agency by the
Survey Research Center at the University of California.
Dr. Charles Y. Glock, who directed the research team and is coordinator of the series, gave as
a principal finding that "anti-Semitism among adolescents is linked with parental and academic
deprivation." The education and income of the parents, the academic performance of the student,
and whether or not he expects to go to college, were used as measures of deprivation. It was found
that "parental deprivation leads to academic deprivation, which then leads to prejudice. The "more
deprived youngster was always the more anti-Semitic—except for Blacks," Dr. Glock said.
He called it "perplexing" that although the black teen-agers were on the average more deprived
than the white, they were less prejudiced against Jews. "It would appear," he said, "that Blacks tend
to be prejudiced against whites and do not make the distinction of whether the white is Jewish or
Christian." He added that there was "considerable anti-black feeling among both the Jewish and
non-Jewish white adolescents, although slightly less among the Jewish youngsters." There was
nothing in the school curriculum in the districts tested which attempted to deal with prejudice head
on, to teach young people cognitively what prejudice is and how it comes about.
The study concentrates on the conditions which generate anti-Semitism and prejudice in ado-
lescents. It was conducted among 4,600 8th, 10th and 12th graders in three school districts.
Each of the communities has a student population which is about 20 per cent black. The first has
a 50 per cent Jewish student body; the second, a 23 per cent; and the third has few Jews.
Dr. Glock said that despite previous studies of adults which showed the incidence of anti-
Semitism less among those in contact with Jews, "this study revealed more anti-Jewish feeling among
adolescents in the two districts with Jewish students than in the community where there were virtually
none."
He said that a substantial majority in all three communities—between 75 per cent and 83 per
cent—viewed Jewish teen-agers as being intelligent, ambitious and successful. These positive traits,
however, were given negative connotations by some 60 per cent of the students in the two towns

Dayan, Golda Support Goren's Heroic
Stand on 'Outcasts'; Issue Nears Solution

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren's swift resolution of the
Langer case Monday was approved by a large majority of Israelis and greeted
with expressions of satisfaction from public figures and the press. But con-
servative elements within the rabbinate and the ultra-Orthodox community
were stunned and embittered by Goren's blitzkreig tactics.
Hanoch and Miriam Langer, freed from the taint of bastardy by a nine-
member court of dayanim (rabbinical judges) assembled by Goren Monday,
were wed to their fiances at a joint ceremony that night attended by Defense
Minister Moshe Dayan. Premier Golda Meir telegraphed her congratulations
to the happy couples Tuesday morning and said she hoped the solution of their
guidepost to the solution of the problems of others

foreign policy are expected as a result of the elections

of the most im-

results of Sun-
elections was the
complete rout of the neo-

many constituencies the
NPD won less than 0.1

Nazis had managed to

3 or even 4 per cent of
the vote, they received

Gen. Dayan told newsmen that his happiness over the outcome of the
Langer case was tinged with sadness by the knowledge that the Langers'
ordeal could have been avoided if the change of guard at the chief rabbinate
had occurred sooner. Gen. Dayan took a personal interest in the case of the
Langers who were both serving in the army when the Petah Tikva rabbinical
court ruled two years ago that they were conceived in adultery and forbidden

to marry.
