At the same session, Howard Rieger, 'a nationally-known expert on urban affairs, urged delegates to try to rekin- dle some of the activity that led to the social re- forms of the 1960s. Rieger, director of community relations and urban affairs of the Jewish Community Fed- eration of Cleveland, said that such activity is necessary not only to help meet the needs of the country, but also to "strengthen our own or-' ganizations." The plenary is the highest policy-making body of the NJCRAC, which coordinates the community relations work of nine national Jewish agencies and 101 Jewish community groups across the coun- try. Delegates to the annual plenary session discuss challenges that will face the Jewish community it; the coming year, and formulate guidelines . for activities. The, meeting opened Sunday and con- cluded Wednesday. One of the major prob- lems pointed out by Rieger is that "the old coalitions (that worked together for % social change in the 60s) have truly died." Now that the struggle of the 60s for civil rights legislation is over, "economics have become, to a significant extent, the present day inter- group relations agenda. "Yet this agenda, in and of itself, in incapable of generating ongoing co- alition • activities at the local level," he said -. That's the Tamaroff Sales Policy.

Jewish groups must care- fully explore new methods of generating coalitions. The first step in this process, according to Samet, is for Jewish groups, like other groups, to "more clearly under- stand what we want and need for ourselves before we espouse and support programs for economic and social change." Samet described how Jewish communities are being hurt by the current wave of inflation and un- employment. He pointed out that "most Jews live in, or close to, and are affected by, regions that are in economic stress, with de- clining populations and waning political power. "This is a threat to the health of the Jewish community, which will predictably maintain its largest populations in areas now threatened by social, political and economic decay." These areas have the fastest rising cost of 'liv- ing, and the highest crime rates. Even though many Jews are moving to the suburbs, by and large their livelihoods are based in the cities worst hit by crisis. But, Samet maintained, the federal government has shortchanged these areas in recent years, He said that in the Northeast, 25 percent of the Jewish population live in house- holds with incomes of under $8,000 per year. Jewish college gradu- ates are among those hardest flit by lack of suitable jobs. And even where Jews are not di- rectly troubled by job- lessness, they pay for it. Unemployment, .Samet said, has been shown to be responsible for the higher crime rate. Furthermore, the government is forced to raise taxes to cope with the various problems created by lack of work. Citing further exam- ples of how Jewish com- munities are being af- fected by the crisis of the cities, Rieger said there is a drastic need for work in NEW YORK — The proposed international Ladino conference under the sponsorship of the World Jewish Congress has been tentatively scheduled to be held in Jerusalem during the summer of 1978. $1,000 Minimum — THREE RADIO NEWSCASTS DAILY — MONDAY thru FRIDAY WLDM 95.5 at 8 A.M., 12 NOON and 5:30 P.M.
