UNESCO to Discuss Anti-Israel
Proposals, Deputy Director Says
AMSTERDAM (JTA) —
Richard Hoggart, deputy di-
rector general of UNESCO,
said here that the organiza-
tion's director general in-
tends to raise the matter of
the anti-Israeli resolutions at
the next executive council.
Hoggart added, however,
that as far as he could see
"it is doubtful whether the
council will be •able to change
the policy and adopt a com-
promise solution •as has been
suggested by the former Di-
rector General Rene Haheu."
Hoggart, who was address-
ing a special conference of
the Dutch UNESCO commit-
tee, said that there is no
precedent of any committee
or other body annulling a
General Assembly resolution.
The deputy director gen-
eral, a British national, added
that though views on the
resolutions differ among the
members o f the UNESCO
secretarial staff "nobody has
resigned" over this issue.
Meanwhile, in Jerusalem,
three internationally known
writers called for a world-
wide boycott of UNESCO
until the organization re-
verses its anti-Israel resolu-
tions.
The call was made by Hein-
rich Boell, Saul Bellow and
Eugene Ionesco at separate
press conferences as, the 39th
PEN (Poets, Essayists, No-
velists) Congress opened
here.
Boell, a holder of the Noble
Prize for Lliterature, said a
large group of West German
writers had adopted a reso-
lution urging a boycott of
UNESCO in conjunction with
a similar call by, French
writers.
Bellow, calling the UNESCO
action stupid and ignorant,
said, "I think the United
States should withdraw its
financial support and, in fact,
I think the United Nations

should move to Uganda."
Bellow said if UN did so,
"many of the so-called Third
World delegates would not
have so far to travel and
would be deprived of the
life in New York which they
adore."
Ionesco said UNESCO's
action was "incomprehen-
sible, especially against a
country that has done so
much for culture and knowl-
edge and could do so much
more for the benefit of the
entire world."
In_ New York, three Nobel
laureates, Drs. Julius Axel-
rod, Hans A. Bethe and
Kenneth J. Arrow, met with
UN Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim to protest what
they called the "corruption"
of UNESCO.
The three_ said they had
acted on behalf of an in-
formal group of about 100
American scientists who were
,incensed over the agency's
anti-Israel resolutions.

Rabbi Says Food
Not Key to Judaism
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
Conservative rabbi, in a cau-
stic comment on the import-
ance American Jews attribute
to their use of Jewish foods
as evidence of their Jewish-
ness, has remarked that if
such food use was "the cri-
terion for Jewish commit-
ment, then indeed Judaism
has nothing to worry about."
That observation was made
by Rabbi Israel Moshowitz,
spiritual leader of the Hill-
crest Jewish' Center of
Flushing, N. Y. in his' con-
gregation bulletin.
Rabbi Moshowitz also re-
ported on a news story about
a young Jewish mother, for-
merly from New York, who
moved to a village in North-
ern Michigan. According to
the report, the mother ar-
ranged with a bakery in New
York City to send her regu-
larly, by air express, a loaf of
"real Jewish rye bread," ex-
plaining, "I don't want my
children to forget their Jew-
ish heritage."
Declaring "woe unto us that
our great heritage has been
reduced to such trifles," Rab-
bi Moshowitz added "the first
condition for intelligent Jew-
ish living is to know what is
important and what is trivial
in the practice of Judaism."

1,000 persons attended the
dinner at which Sen. Hubert
Humphrey (D.-Minn.), who
recently returned from a
four-day official visit to Is-
rael, was presented a Jeru-
salem Bible.
Humphrey told the dinner
guests that if Israel's expul-
sion from UNESCO is allow-
ed to go unchallenged, at-
tempts, will be made to ex-
pel Israel from the United
Nations. He stressed that the
U.S. must withhold its $16
million grant to UNESCO in
light of that organization's
anti-Israel actions.
In Johannesburg, Chief
Rabbi Bernard C. Casper, in
a nationwide broadcast, de-
clared, "We need the spirit
of the Maccabees to with-
stand the efforts at erosion
that so patently •are directed
against us." He said, "What
could be more expressive of
the time in which we live
than that South Africa and
Israel are silenced in the
UN while the leader of a
terrorist group (PLO chief
Yasir Arafat) responsible
for the massacre at Munich,
Ma'alot and Lod is admitted
into its chambers." The

NEW YORK (JTA)—Jews
throughout the world began
the eight-day celebration of
Hanuka with myriad celebra-
tions and ceremonies.
In Jerusalem at the tradi-
tional ceremony at the West-
ern Wall, Ashkenazic Chief
Rabbi Shlomo Goren lit the
first candle. Hundreds gath-
ered at the wall despite cold
weather, but Rabbi. Goren
cut the speeches short be-
cause of the cold.
- Hanuka candles were lit
by Israeli soldiers on top of
Mt. Hermon, at Sharm el-
Sheikh, at the Rosh Hanikra
border post on the Mediter-
ranean, in the Sinai and in
every camp, base and posi-
tion throughout the country.
Israeli wives and mothers
spared no efforts, in spite of
the high cost of sugar, fry-
ing oil and flour, to prepare
tens of thousands of "pont-
chikes" and "latkes" which
they brought to the soldiers
in various outposts and on
main roads where soldiers
Were hitch-hiking rides home.
Parades were held in base
camps and regimental or
corps rabbis lit the first
candle and Hanuka songs
were sung by hundreds of
soldiers.
The longest ceremony was
a torch relay which started
at Modiin, the graveside of
the Maccabees and ended at
the headquarters of the Zion-
ist Organization of America
in midtown Manhattan in the
eighth "Annual Hanuka
Torch Relay Festival" of
Masada, - the ZOA's national
youth movement. In Israel,
