The court voted 6-3 not to
accept jurisdiction in a class
action suit filed by Richard
J. Evans and Ruth Cohen,
members of -Emanuel Syn-
agogue here.
Their complaint contended
that their constitutional
rights to vote and freedom
of religion would be denied
unless the court acted.
Arnold Fagin, attorney for
the complainants, said he
might take the matter to
federal court. There are
about 6,000 Jews in Okla-

Israel to Be Represented in New
International Basketball League
By HASKELL COHEN
(Copyright 1974 JTA, Inc.)
TEL AVIV—Israel will be
represented in the new pro-
fessional basketball league,
to be identified as the Inter-
national Basketball Associa-
tion, it was announced in Tel
Aviv at a press conference
conducted by the manage-
ment of the team, headed by
co-chairman, Robert Hecht of
Houston.
Hecht informed the press
that the league is to be com-
prised of 10 teams represent-
ing various cities and areas
of Europe. As of the moment,
the listing of the teams is
as follows:
Brussels, Belgium; Barcelona,
Spain; Bavaria. West Germany;
Amsterdam, Holland; Geneva,
Switzerland; Rhineland, West
Germany; Lyon-Grenoble, France;
Madrid, Spain; Tel Aviv, Israel;
and Rome, Italy.
In_order not to interfere
with the amateur basketball
program currently existing
in Europe and Israel, the
IBA executive committee has
decided to start the current
Season on Jan. 17 rather than
earlier as previously indi-
cated.
Each team will play a
total of 62 games, 31 home
games and 31 games abroad
all over Europe. The Israeli
team will probably be desig-
nated as the Tel Aviv Sabras,
and will play their games at
the Sports Palace here in Tel
Aviv.

Hecht pointed out that it is
the objective of the profes-
sional team to operate in
Israel without any affiliation
to any political party or body,
as is prevalent in the ama-
teur teams playing in the
country at this time. He said
he expects to operate a high-
level. and exciting team,
which will elevate the caliber
of the games in Israel and
help develop young a n d
gifted players in the country.
It is the hope and expecta-
tion of the Tel Aviv contin-
gent to cooperate and assist
in advancing and developing
basketball in Israel within
the overall physical educa-
tion program of the country,
hoping to do so by cooperat-
ing with the Sports. Authority.
the Wingate Institute of
Physical Education, the
Sports Association of Israel
and the Olympic Council.
One of the important as-
pects of the promotion of this
professional team, as pointed
out by Hecht, is that all ex-
pected profits will be re-in-
vested in Israel in develop-
ment goals and in humani-
tarian necessities.
"It will take some time,
we presunie," Hecht ex-
plained, "before the club be-
comes a profitable venture.

Austrians Oppose
Transit Camp Site
VIENNA (JTA) — Neigh-
bors of a transit camp for
Jewish emigrants from the
Soviet Union continued to
protest its location in a
densely populated area.
"We will not cease to pro-
test against this camp which
is a danger for all of us,
particularly for our child-
ren." Angelika Kneth, 34,
mother of four children said.
"Two of my children have
to pass heavily guarded po-
licemen every day on their
way to school," she said.
Karl Kneth, her husband,
37, said: "I cannot under-
stand this decision by the
authorities to build a camp
like this in this heavily pop-
ulated suburb." People liying
nearby said they were afraid
of _possible Arab terrorist at-
tacks.
Residents of apartment
blocs only 20 meters away
distributed leaflets asking
Vienna's Socialist Mayor
Leopold Gratz to relocate
the camp. After visiting the
camp situated near a church
and a kindergarten, Gratz
promised to do so.
The Austrian Red Cross,
without previous announce-
ment, had transferred the
transit camp from a former
army barracks in Woellers-
dorf to Simmering. The pop-
ulation reacted with sharp
protests.
