various fields of endeavor —

chairman of the Committee
on International Relations

of immigrant absorption for
the past 25 years. Sometime
ago the Hebrew University
in Jerusalem conferred an
honorary fellowship on him
while the President of Israel
awarded him the Decora-
tion for Volunteer Service.
His first activities in the
field of immigrant integra-
tion took him to a maabara
(temporary immigrant
camp) outside Jerusalem
during the period of mass
aliya after the War of In-
dependence.
Today, Maimon heads a
group of about 300 volun-
teers, ranging in age from
14 to 75, and all of whom he
has mobilized for work,
each person devoting at
least 2-3 hours weekly to
work among the new arriv-
als, teaching them to read
and write Hebrew, listening
to their problems and trying
to bring relief wherever pos-
sible.

Boston Bus Case
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
Jewish Rights Council
(JERICO), a national organ-
ization of rabbis and lay-
men, has written to U.S. At-
torney General Edward H.
Levi expressing disappoint-
ment over the decision of
the Justice Department not
to enter the Boston school
busing case.
JERICO claims that all
mass busing orders by
courts violate the individual
rights and needs of the pup-
ils being bused.
JERICO said that every
busing decree, in order to
agree with the Equal Pro-
tection and Due Process
clauses of the Constitu-
tion, -must be based upon a
detailed examination of the
impact of the busing upon
each individual pupil. Oth-
erwise, according to JER-
ICO, - individual pupils are
going to be punished for the
sins of others.
JERIC•, which was
founded in 1971, has pre-
viously filed friend-of-the-
court briefs in the United
States Supreme Court op-
posing the forced busing of
children in public school
cases in Denver, Richmond
and Detroit.
