Up to now, each locality has formed its own civil guard. It was members of the Nahariya Civil Guard that first spotted the terrorists and fought them until security forces arrived. As a nucleus of a national guard, the police high command is considering calling on retired policemen and army veterans, as well as retired civil servants and others. Meanwhile, in Nahariya, many people enrolled in the civil guard, which now numbers 900 men. They have been patrolling the town, which still has not recovered from the horrors of Tuesday. Since the recent outbreak of terrorism, civil guards have been formed in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Nazareth and other areas. Parents of school children have been maintaining guard shifts around the schools and search the school before classes start each morning.- Strict security is being taken at summer camps, although it is expected that fewer parents will be sending children to the camps this year because of the fear of terrorism. Hotels in the seaside resort of Nahariya report almost no cancel- lations. Nahariya is the year-round honeymoon capital of Israel, and 28 couples arrived Tuesday. Teams of workers started Wednesday to repair the damage to the ouse on Balfour St. where an Israeli woman and her two children re killed Tuesday. An Israeli soldier and three terrorists also ere killed. An Israeli military source said that an investigation may be held into how the terrorists in their rubber dinghy slipped through maritime patrols and other security deviCes. At the same time, ways are being studied to prevent such infiltration in the future. (Detailed Stories on Page 11) WASHINGTON (JTA)—Congressional anger rose this week over Soviet repression of Jewish activists seeking the right to emigrate to Israel as President Nixon prepared to visit Moscow Thursday for summit talks. Twenty senators co-signed a cable to the President urging him to protest to Soviet authorities when he meets and "publicly reject these repressive tactics.' The cable drafted by Sen. Walter Mondale (D. Minn.) declared that the wave of arrests and beatings of Jews in principal Soviet cities over the past week constituted "an appalling beginning for a visit that's aimed at improving U. S.-Soviet relations and easing tensions. ' In a separate message, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D., Minn.) said the arrests and harassment in advance of the President's visit "are an affront to the United States and severely detrimental to the cause of detente which this trip is designed - to advance." Deploring "these preventive arrests" Humphrey _said he was calling on the Presi- dent "to express officially American disapproval of these acts which violates thee basic principles of human rights." An estimated 100 persons have been arrested since last week in Moscow, Lenin- grad, Odessa, Kiev, Kishinev and other major cities where Jews live. According to sources, the KGB (secret police) smashed down the doors of the apart- ments of several activists in order to arrest them. Some Jewish activists_ escaped and went into hiding but then gave themselves up after their families and friends were threatened. Among the prominent Jews arrested since last week were Vladimir Slepak and his wife Maria, Alexander Voronel, Alexander Lunts, Victor Brailosky, Mark Azbel and Vitaly Rubin. Some are held in detention for 15 days under an administrative order origin- ally designed to deal with hooliganism and violence. But others are being called up for military service. Congressman Jonathan Bingham (D., N. Y.), expressing sentiments of many of his colleagues wrote Mr. Nixon "to protests this dragnet" against Soviet citizens. Bingham urged him to "immediately ask not only these arrested Soviet Jews be released but also that they be allowed to meet with him _during his visit." "Perhaps," Bingham said, "such a meeting may convince the President that the right to emigrate is a legitimate concern of our foreign policy and that hundreds of thous- ands of Soviet Jews need our help if that right is to be a reality." Appearing last week in Philadelphia at a Soviet Jewry Solidarity Assembly, U. S. — (Continued on Page 18) NJCRAC, Meeting Here, Backs Affirmative Action, Without 'Reverse Discrimination' Schlesinger Argues for Hike in U.S. Military Aid; Relates Need After Israel Withdraw al Affirmative action policies that advance educational and employment opportunities among minori- ties without imposing "reverse discrimination" were endorsed at the 30th annual plenary of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, meeting Sunday through Wednesday at the Shiawassee Hotel. The annual gathering of the coordinating body, attended by some 250 delegates, was back in the Detroit area after an absence of some 15 years. A policy statement adopted by NJCRAC's national and community affiliates proposed that special provisions be made, through government facilities and by public funding to industry, for compensatory education, job training and placement and other means to -"help the deprived and disadvantaged realize their potential capabilities." But the statement on the controversial issue, hammered out by the delegates in a lengthy session, also insisted the "sole criterion of eligibility" for such special services must be individual need and that it "not be offered preferentially" on a racial, ethnic or other group basis. (Continued on Page 17) By JOSEPH POLAKOFF JTA Washington Bureau WASHINGTON (JTA)—Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger said Tuesday that the need for a long-range U. S. military assistance program for Israel stems from Israel's concern for her security based on the "relationship" of diplomatic and political processes taking place and military activities. As a result of the Yom Kippur War and the territorial withdrawals by Israel in disengagements with Egypt and Syria, Schlesinger told the Senate appropriations subcommittee for foreign operations, Israel's previous reliance on superior training of personnel and cohesion of forces "must be reconsidered."
