disruption and human
misery."
At the NCJRAC meeting,
the American Jewish com-
munity was urged not to
"overwhelm itself with
fears" of an erosion of
American public support for
Israel.
Albert D. Chernin, newly-
elected executive vice chair-
man of the council, said that
polls and studies since 1947
have shown "a steady
growth of positive feelings"
among Americans toward
Israel. He proposed that
American-Israeli relations
be interpreted "in long term
perspective rather than in
the immediate focus of each
day's headlines, gossip and
rumor."
The new NJCRAC exec-
utive, who succeeded Is-
aiah M. Minkoff, is a
47-year-old intergroup re-
lations specialist who had
directed the Jewish Com-
munity Relations Council
of Greater Philadelphia
for the past seven years.
Previously he was a mem-
ber of the council staff for
11 years.
Minkoff was honored at a
special "tribute" dinner
marking his retirement. He
became the chief executive
of NJCRAC at its founding
in 1941 and guided it
through its first 31 years.
Alvin L. Kushner, exec-
utive director of Detroit's
Jewish Community Coun-
cil, reported on Detroit's
efforts on behalf of Soviet
Jewry. Kushner cited the
efforts of the Jewish Com-
munity Council's Lawyers
Committee for Soviet Je-
wry as an example of ways
in which American public
opinion can be mobilized

emigration.
At the same time, Stanley
H. Lowell, chairman of the
National Conference on So-
viet Jewry, called for "new
initiatives" by the American
Jewish community to prod
Soviet action on both Jewish -
emigration and restoration
of the cultural rights of
Jews who remain in the
USSR.
On another issue, Under-
secretary of State Joseph J.
Sisco said that "forces of
moderation in the Middle
East today have the upper
hand, "strengthening the
possibilities for "diplomatic
progress" toward further
interim agreements.
Sisco added that the
Middle East had under-
gone "psychological
changes" since the Yom
Kippur War. He said he
believed that the "front-
line Arab states" —
Egypt, Jordan and Syria
— as well as Saudi Arabia,
have come to accept "the
concept of co-existence
with Israel."
At a closed session, the
NJCRAC voted to reject a
request for membership
from the Jewish Defense
League.
Israeli Wounded, 4 Terrorists
Killed in New Border Clash
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Four
terrorists were killed and
one Israeli soldier was
slightly injured last Thurs-
day in a clash in the Idmith
region near the Lebanese
border.
The incident occurred
after an Israeli patrol spot-
ted a fresh break in the bor-
der security fence and fol-
lowing a trail, surprised the
terrorists.
The terrorists, wearing
olive drab shirts and trou-
sers, were heavily armed
with Kalachnikof assault
rifles, bazookas and large
quantities of explosives.
Meanwhile, military
sources reveal that there
has been a significant in-
crease in the number of
terrorist groups in the
provinces of Judea and
Shomron (the West Bank)
and in the number of their
adherents.
Youths are said to be join-
ing the groups because of
the present military situa-
tion and because of their be-
lief that the "solution" to
the Palestinian problem is
just around the corner.
Meanwhile, describing
the Allenby Bridge as "our
biggest entry port after
Lod" (Ben Gurion Airport),
Defense Minister Shimon
Peres said that the open
bridges policy which per-
mits Arabs from neighbor-
ing countries to visit their
relatives and friends in the
administered territories and
East Jerusalem, would re-
main in effect this summer
despite the mounting inci-
dence of terrorists acts and
sabotage.
Peres said he would not
make the generalization
that all who pass over the
bridge are potential terror
ists. He even conceded that
the political sympathy with
the PLO held by many visi-
tors did not mean they ap-
proved of terrorist acts.
He indicated that Israel
had ample means of check-
ing out each visitor. Peres
noted that while security
measures have been tight-
ened at the Jordan River
crossings, special ar-
rangements were being
made to ease the entry
process.
He said that 64,000 have
crossed the bridges since the
beginning of this month,
25,000 of them summer visi-
tors from Arab countries.
