FBI, Police Investigate Bombing
of Pennsylvania Jewish Center

READING, Pa. (JTA) —
State and local police and the
FBI are investigating a bomb-
ing of the Jewish Community
Center here Aug. 28.
The two-story center build-
ing located on 17 acres at the
eastern city line of Reading,
was rocked by five simultan-
eous explosions, according to
Harry S. Sack, executive
director of the Jewish Com-
munity Council. He said the
explosions went off minutes
after people attending meet-

ings at the center had left.
The explosions buckled in
the front fire doors of the
building and tore bricks loose
from the handball court,
Sack said.
He said the full extent of
the damage is not yet known
but that the building is back
in operation. Police believe
the bombing was done by a
professional, Sack said.
The center did not receive
any threats before the explo-
sions, he added' and he noted
that there is a very active
Ku Klux Klan group in the
Reading area.

not agreed upon a definition
of the word liberty.

Russia Seen as Winning Bid for 1980 Olympics

(Continued from Page 1)
How many athletes protest-
ed or reacted after the Mu-
nich massacre? Do you re-
member? Only the Dutch,
the Scandinavians and Danes,
in protest, left the Games.
What happened at the me-
morial service for the fallen
11? Less than half of the
American athletes showed up.
And we are going to ask
these people to protest Rus-
sia's actions! What a joke!
Athletes want to compete,
they don't want to be bothered
with the ills of the sport
world. How are we going to
marshal the goyishe athletes
for protest when our Jewish
athletes don't lead the pro-
testers and boycott competi-
tions in localities where eth-
nic prejudices are practiced?
You don't see Mark Spitz,
our most famous Olympic
champion jumping on the
band wagon, do you? And
you aren't going to rouse any
of the other Jewish sports.
men into action. The AJCon-
gress, undoubtedly serves
useful purposes, such as get-
ting federal funds cut off
from struggling yeshivas and
Jewish day schools. But get-
ting involved in trying to stir
athletes of the world into ac-
tion against Russia just isn't
their cup of tea.
If the World University
Games once served a useful
purpose they don't any long-
er. Only the United States
sends bona fide collegians to
the Games every three years.
The other countries use the
universiada as a mini-Olym-
pics and consequently the
same onerous conditions ex-
ist at these contests as exist
at the Olympics proper. Rus-
sia has no more right to field
most of its Olympic basket-
ball team in the world games
than Israel has fielding Jack
Arzner, who graduated from

the University of Cincinnati
three years ago. Whoever
heard of 26-year-old athletes
representing themselves as
college students. No wonder
the Russian fans were amazed
when they watched in dismay
as a teenaged U.S. basket-
ball team belted their "pros"
in the finals.
You want to know how
much chance there is of elim-
inating Moscow as the site
of the 1980 Olympics? Con-
servatively I would estimate
about one chance in 10,000.
Oh, Lord Killanin, an honor-
able man, president of the
IOC, may himself try to
thwart the Russians, but he's
going to fall flat on his face.
Let's face it, it's a question
of economics. Few countries
are equipped to handle an
Olympics. The U.S. tried for
the 1980 games, with Detroit
as the site, but is no longer
interested. Who now will
buck Moscow?
It costs one-half billion dol-
lars to run an Olympic com-
petition properly. The U.S.
Olympic Committee is not fi-
nanced by our government,
so is out of contention. Also,
what city in the U.S. is
equipped to build the numer-
ous sport complexes neces-
sary for the competitions? It
may upset some to learn this
but take a look at the coun-
tries interested in hosting the
games.
In recent years the games
have gone to governments
concerned with improving
their international image:
Japan in 1964, Mexico in
1968, and Moscow in 1980.
Montreal secured the 1976
Games only because of the
deadlock created between De-
troit and Moscow.
The anti-Muscovites voted
for Montreal the last time
solely to thwart the Russians.
