He told a press conference here at the office of the Na- tional Council of Jewish Women that a synthesis of the many cultures brought to Israel by its millions of settlers was essential, but said there was no parallel in Israel for the goal of racial integration for which the United States is striving. Yadlin came to the United States for a series of collo- quia with educational ex- perts of the Graduate School of Education of Har- vard University; the Teach- ers College of Columbia University; the Education Department and the Center for Policy Study of the Uni- versity of Chicago; and the Graduate School of Educa- tion at the University of California at Los Angeles. Yadlin said that despite rocketing budgets for Is- raeli security, cuts in edu- cation budgets are being restricted to the universi- ties, which he said were facing heavy reductions. But the investment in the culturally deprived school children had not been af- fected, though he admitted that continuing inflation was reducing the purchas- ing power of the allocated funds. In discussing Israel's edu- cational gains for the cul- turally deprived, he re- ported that about 40 percent of all Israeli school children could be considered in that category. Of those, he said, currently 60 percent were in kindergarten, 50 percent in primary schools, 45 percent in secondary schools and 17 percent in universities. He described the 17 percent fig- ure as a source of dissatis- faction for his ministry. Klutznick Suggests Revising Jewish Community Structures PRINCETON, N.J. (JTA) — A proposal that the American Jewish commu- nity explore ways of revis- ing its community struc- tures was advanced by Philip M. Klutznick, a for- mer president of Bnai Brith and now chairman of the World Jewish Congress' gov- erning council. Klutznick told a Bnai Brith conference of Jewish academicians and laymen that present representative bodies "are not always ade- quately staffed or provided with the capacity to study a problem before acting on it." He suggested "re-ex- aminations of present insti- tutions" to determine ways of better reflecting a Jewish community consensus on political issues. Klutznick stressed that he was emphasizing studies "in light of our changing needs," but was not advocat- ing "abandoning what now exists" until the validity and viability of any proposed change had been adequately surveyed. Klutznick illustrated his thesis by citing — and questioning — the advisa- bility of separate national "roof organizations" that now deal respectively with Jewish concerns relating to Israel and Soviet Jewry. The two matters, he de- clared, have become "inextricably linked as a single political issue" in that relationships between Israel and the USSR must inevitably have a deter- mining effect on Soviet attitudes and reactions to the issue of Soviet Jewry. The three-day conference, one of a series of Bnai Brith bicentennial year programs, was devoted to the Jewish community's "unfinished agenda." Its 150 partici- pants included some 20 leading Jewish scholars. ing guest-professors from abroad, but he now accuses the university of selling the villas. The donor, insists that some members of his fam- ily should help manage the fund. He says, that be- cause he is not a citizen of Israel, there are no tax obligations on his fund and the prizes. He has de- manded that all prizes should be exempt from taxe. But the Israel Academy of Science wants to manage the fund by itself, and the donor has threatened to transfer the fund to another country. "I had many disappoint- ments in my life" he said. "If I have to transfer the fund and prizes from Israel to another country, it would be the last disappointment in my JOE MILLER and HIS ORCHESTRA Music For All Occasions LI 5-1244 VERTICAL AND SLIMLINE BLINDS CUSTOM DRAPES, BEDSPREADS WOVEN WOODS, SHADES, SHUTTERS • CALL US LAST AND COMPARE 4 Hurtig Window Interiors 559-8209 559-8209 CALL FOR FREE ESTIMATE A: viii Marcia Adler Cookie Koblin Doris Shanbrom BLOOMFIELD-11E00 RE-SALE SHOP . . 3369 Orchard Lake Rd., Keego Harbor Mon Sat 10 4:30 Corner of Commerce Rd. - - 4 Taking Spring Consignments Mens'-Ladies-Childrens' Clothes Small Household Items for more info call 681-5424 068 FOR THE HOLIDAYS, FOR SCHOOL, FOR PLAY HACK SHOES provide Quality, Comfort, Fit!
