Israeli Orchestra
Barred From Spain
PARIS (JTA) — The
Spanish government has
refused entry visas to the Is-
raeli Philharmonic Orches-
tra which was due to give a
concert in Madrid this week.
A spokesman for the
French Weizmann Institute,
under whose auspices the
Philharmonic gave a concert
March 20 in Paris, said the
Spanish Consulate refused
to grant the visas claiming
"security problems."
The orchestra, consisting
of some 120 performers and
technicians, has cancelled
the trip and is considering
giving a concert elsewhere
in France.

"music the stein way"
Fabrications, distortions,
mass scale untruths that
keep flooding newspaper
columns and the Letters-to-
the-Editor sections have
called for corrections to as-
sure dissemination of truth
about Israel and the Middle
East.
One letter from an Arab
official published in The
New York Times was an-
swered by Arnold Forster,
general counsel of the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith and appeared in the
N. Y. Times on March 17.
Forster's clarifications fol-
low:
In his defense of the Arab
boycott (letter March 11)
Michael S. Saah attempts to
distinguish between the
boycott of U.S. firms which
do business in Israel and the
discrimination against Jews
as Jews.
That the Arab states
practice the latter, he sim-
ply denies, and then goes
on to assert that "Jews
living in Arab countries
enjoy equal rights."
Both are absolute false-
hoods. As far as the boycott
itself is concerned, Saudi
Arabia asks the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for
hundreds of American
technicians but insists on
being sent "no Jews." They
aren't specifying that there
be no "Zionists" or "friends
of Israel" but just flatly "no
Jews."
The Arab Emirate of Du-
bai asks an American teach-
er-recruiting agency for per-
sonnel, and the
announcement specifically
prohibits applications from
teachers who are Jewish,
have Jewish surnames or
Jewish ancestors.
A New England archi-
tectural firm which has
contracted with Abu
Dhabi to recruit building
contractors for two hospi-
tals is told to use no Jew-
ish firm and even to rid it-
self of Jews on its own
staff.
But now, let's look for the
"equal rights" that Mr. Saah
says are "enjoyed" by native
Jews in Arab countries. We
don't have to reach for such
dramatic cases as Iraq's
hanging of nine Jews in the
central square of Baghdad
in 1969 on trumped-up espi-
onage charges. We just have
Modern Jewry
Focus of Program
NEW YORK — Philip M.
Klutznick and Daniel G.
Ross, co-founders of the in-
ternational planning com-
mittee of Hebrew Univer-
sity's Institute of
Contemporary Jewry an-
nounced the Philip and
Ethel Klutznick Research
Program in Contemporary
Jewish Civilization with
Profs. Moshe Davis and Ye-
huda Bauer.
The Klutznick Research
Program will serve as a ba-
sis for systematic university
study and teaching of con-
temporary Jewish civiliza-
tion in the United States
and Canada, Western Eu-
rope and Latin America.
to look at everyday life in
Syria today.
Jews there are required to
carry special identity cards
bearing the word "Jew" in
red letters. They are forbid-
den to travel more than 2 1/2
miles from their quarters,
and in some cities Jewish
houses are required to dis-
play a distinguishing mark.
Syria's Moslems have been
officially advised not to buy
in Jewish shops. Number-
less Jewish men and women
have been arbitrarily ar-
rested and jailed without
charges.
In Saudi Arabia, of
course, no such discrimi-
natory practices or perse-
cutions occur. This is be-
cause for some time now —
and by government edict
— no Jew is permitted to
set foot on the soil of that
country.
,
All of these facts are well-
documented and acknowl-
edged throughout the world,
and Mr. Saah and his Na-
tional Association of Arab
Americans cannot turn off
disturbing truths by blam-
ing The New York Times for
reporting them.
Egyptian Warships
at Bab el-Mandeb
JERUSALEM — It was
reported here that the Le-
banese weekly "A-Siyyad"
stated that Egyptian war-
ships are anchored in the
port of Aden, near the
straits of Bab el-Mandeb, at
the opening of the Red Sea.
The report said South
Yemen Prime Minister Ali
Nasser Mohammed con-
firmed the presence of the
ships, following previous
reports that the Egyptians
have reinforced their Red
Sea fleet by transferring
ships from the Mediterra-
nean through the Suez
Canal, which is in effect
open for large-ship traffic.
Child's Craving for Peace
An Israeli child's craving
for peace, a poetic expres-
sion that is completely de-
void of the rancor that is
heard from anti-Israel
quarters, serves as one of
the most powerful appeals
in behalf of the great phi-
lanthropic effort repre-
sented in the Allied Jewish
Campaign-Israel Emer-
gency Fund.
The young girl's plea was
translated from the Hebrew
book, Hashalom Sheli, pub-
lished by Sabra Books in Tel
Aviv.

Youth Aliya Aids
Poor Children
LONDON (JTA) — Yosef
Klarman, head of Youth
Aliya, told a Zionist gather-
ing here that the institution
was presently caring for
11,000 socially deprived Is-
raeli children in its youth
villages and schools in addi-
tion to 4,000 children from
Diaspora communities.
Youth Aliya is planning
to absorb another 3,000 so-
cially deprived Israeli
youngsters within the next
three years. Klarman said
that Youth Aliya is pre-
pared to admit Diaspora
youngsters from affluent
Western countries to its
boarding schools in Israel on
a paid basis.
Shining bright and bold.
I had a box of colors,
Some warm, some very
cold.
I had no red for the blood
of wounds.
I had no black for the
orphans' grief.
I had no white for dead
faces and hands.
I had no yellow for burning
sands.
'tut I had orange for the
joy of life,
And I had green for buds
and nests.
I had blue for bright, clear
skies.
I had pink for dreams and
rest.
I sat down—
And painted—
Peace.

U.S. Increasing
Persian Gulf Arms.
or
WASHINGTON — U.S.
Representative Les Aspin of
Wisconsin reported that the
United States is selling new
arms to four Persian Gulf
countries at a faster rate in
fiscal year 1975 than in fis-
cal 1974.
According to the Defense
Department statistics, $3.1
billion worth of arms have
been sold to Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia, Oman and Iran
since July 1. For all of fiscal
1974, the total for. the four
countries had been $4.4 bil-
lion.

said, sales to Israel during
fiscal 1974 reached $2.1 bil-
lion, an average monthly
rate of $176.4 million re-
flecting the resupply during
