Writer's Appeal in B ehalf of Blacks
Leaves an Anti-Israel Impression
Presenting "The Case for
Black Reparations," in the
paperback published by Ran-
dom House, Prof. Boris L.
Bittker utilizes the Nazi re-
parations documents and re-
sorts to an anti-Israel pole-
mic.
His thesis is described as :
"An analysis of the problems
of compensating Black
Americans for the damages
inflicted upon them by seg-
regation and the slave sys-

As an appendix, he has in
serted the text of "West Ger
man Reparations to Nazi
Victims," from Nehemiah
Robinson's "Ten Years of
Indemnification."
In another appendix, entitl-
ed "Manifesto: To the White
Christian Churches and the
Jewish Synagogues in the
United States of America and
All Other Racist Institu-
tions," he states: "We are an
African people. We sit back
and watch the Jews in this
country make Israel a power-
ful conservative state - in the
Middle East, but we are not
concerned actively about the
plight of our brothers in
Africa."
In the list of slogans for
his campaign, Dr. Bittker has
included this one: "Resist-
ance to domination by the
White Christian Churches and
the Jewish Synagogues."

was wholly unfounded."
The denial was the second
this month of reports that
the premier had told close
associates that she definitely
intended to retire after the
October elections.
Earlier this month, Israeli
newspapers reported that
Mrs. •Meir, who was visiting
the United States, had tele-
phoned Labor.. Party leaders
to discount a statement she
made on the "Face the
Nation" television program.
She told TV reporters who
asked her about her plans
that the Labor Party would
decide her future political
role. According to the Israeli
newspapers, she told her
party colleagues by tele-
phone that she had made the
statement for foreign con-
sumption. Her office issued
a statement the same day
denying that Mrs. Meir had
made such a telephone call.
In an interview published
in the April issue of Ms.
magazine in New York,
Premier Meir was quoted as
telling reporter Oriana Fal-
laci that she definitely in-
tended to retire. "I'll give
you my word I am. I'll even
give you the date: October
1973. The elections are in
October 1973. When they're
through , goodbye," Mrs.
Meir was quoted as saying •
In the remarkably self-
revelatory interview, t h e
premier discussed her life
not as "one of the world's
most powerful leaders" but
as a woman, a wife, mother
and grandmother.
She discussed her mar-
riage to the late Morris
Meyerson ("Although we
were so different and in-
capable of living together,
there was always such love
between us") ; her feelings
of guilt when she neglected
her, children for political
activities ("I know that my
children, when they were
small, suffered a lot on my
account"), her attitude to-
ward old age ("My dear, old
age is like a plane flying
through a storm, there's
nothing you can do . . So
one might as well accept it
calmly, wisely."); and her
overwhelming zest for ac-
tivity, altthough she described
herself as "by nature . .
a lazy woman."
Mrs. Meir denied that she
was "very hard and in-
flexible" except on matters
affecting the welfare of

she asked. "They're crazy.
How can one accept crazy
creatures who deem it a mis-
fortune to get pregnant and
a disaster to give birth to
children?"
But the premier said she
agreed with women's lib on
one point: "To be successful,
a woman has. to be much
better at her job than a
man." She deplored the
fact that there are few wo-
men in Israel's parliament.
"It's ridiculous that women
should still have to face so
many reservations, so many
injustices that when an elec-
tion list is being drawn up
for instance, only men's
names are selected," she
said but added, "Mayn't it
be partly at least the fault
of women themselves too?"
Mrs. Meir recalled her
early life. She said she had
no sentimental memories of
Russia, which she left as a
child, only "the nightmare
of pogroms, the brutality of
Cossacks charging . . . "
She - expressed a lifelong
fondness for the United
States where she grew up
"because in America I was
able to forget the terrors of
Pinsk, of Kiev." -

ligious woman, 'Mrs. Meir.
