Bromberg reported that

students were Jewish but
that, until recently, "there
has been virtually no unity
among the college's Jews.
Some students cited visits
to Israel, either to work on
collectives or for vacations,
as incentives which had spur-

he considered organized re-
ligion "abhorrent." Frauen-
glass criticized the "subur-
ban religion" he had known,
adding ."I don't go to shul.
I would if shul were what it
was meant to be. But the
shul and rabbis of today turn
me off. They're not Jewish,
they're American. They try
to ape the church. They or-
ganize bingo games, they
worry about money and rela-
tions witih government. They
have taken choral music
and organs from the
churches."
History Professor Helen
Rivlin said that "the par-
ents of these kids rejected
everything that was Jewish."
"raised their children to be
secular so kids today have
a feeling of uprootedness.
They can't get the culture
from their parents, so they
are leap-frogging back to
their grandparents.
Rabbi Boros said he felt
the fault was not with the
rituals of Jewish tradition.
He contended young Jews
were questioning Reform Ju-
daism "because it asks too
little, not too much." He
said the students wanted to
know "what is demanded of
me in daily Jewish life" and
that they were finding an-
swers "in their own funda-
mentalist faith," according
to Bromberg's report.

remark by L. Patrick Gray
III during his testimony be-
fore the Senate Watergate
Committee h a s perplexed
many Jews and non-Jews.
The former acting director
of the FBI, asked whether
he was aware of any agents
involved in "dirty tricks,"
replied on Aug. 6:
"I don't know what you
mean by 'dirty tricks.' I
have told you that I author-
ized a surreptitious entry on
one occasion solely to protect
the lives of innocent Jewish
men, women, and children
and I would do it again. But
this was in the course of
national security a n d do-
mestic peace and tranquility
but I known of no agents of
mine engaged in dirty
tricks."
In an effort to discover the
details and meaning of Gray's
remark, the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency contacted
several members of the
Watergate Committee a n d
was told by an assistant to
Sen. Herman Talmadge
(D., Ga.) that Gray had
elaborated on the incident in
executive session and that
the transcript is privileged
information. T h e assistant
said that he could not reveal
the details of the matter.
The JTA called Gray three
times in two days at his law
office in Stonington, Conn.,
but was told each time by a
secretary that he was either
on the phone or not available,
after the JTA told the secre-
tary the reason for the calls.
In Hollywood, Fla., at the
78th annual national conven-
tion of the Jewish War
Veterans, JWV's national
commander ter m e d the
Watergate episode the cul-
mination of a decade of
moral delinquency in the
United States.
Norman Tines of Provi-
dence, R.I., predicted that
Watergate could mark the
close of one of the sorriest
chapters in American his-
tory. "Stretching back for at
least a decade the American
people have been lied to,
betrayed, promoted and gen-
erally conned by a parade
of public officials to whom
pious words meant more than
pious deeds," he said.
"We sent 50,000 boys to
their death and hundreds of
thousands to hospitals for a
dubious war without end that
continues this very day. We
have rained bombs in quan-
tities unheard of in modern
warfare on countries still
emerging into the age of
technology without political
or military effect We have
eroded the quality of the
American dollar.
"We have blundered into
inflation by ignorance and
greed and literally destroyed
our ability to provide inex-
pensive food for the Ameri-
can table. We have disgraced
our children by our moral
laxity and throttled them
when they dared to speak
out against the excesses of
our ignorance," he said.
Tiles stated that it is ap-
parent now that "our young
people were certainly right
about our moral decay but
off the mark about the ability
of the system to correct it-
self."
It is time now, he said, "to
vindicate both generations
and close the gap between
the young and the old by
sweeping the slate clean and
begin the job of restoring the
moral position of our country
and its leadership."
UHS Board
Affirms Vote to
Close Borman
By a vote of 19 to 10, the
United Hebrew Schools board
of directors Monday night re-
affirmed its decision, reach-
ed in January, to close
the Borman and Livonia
branches.
Children from these schools
will be bussed to other
schools that are functioning
in Southfield and Oak Park.
The position adopted by
the UHS board had already
been approved by the educa-
tion committee of the Jewish
Welfare Federation and sub-
sequently by the executive
committee and the board of
governors of Federation.
In the meantime, 10 par-
ents of children attending
the Borman branch started
suit in the Wayne County
Circuit Court, challenging
the closing of the school.
Judge Theodore Bohm has
issued a temporary order re-
straining the UHS from
closing the branch and will
hear arguments by the par-
ents' attorney, Sherwin Tu-
kel, Aug. 24, on claims
against the schools and Fed-
eration in their demand that
the branch be reopened.
At the hearings before
Judge Bohm next Friday,
the UHS will be represented
by Milton Lucow and the
Federation by Joseph
Jackier.
It is of great advantage
that man should know his
station, and not erroneously
imagine that the whole Uni-
verse exists for him alone.
