Cultural Affairs and Communications of the Quebec National Assembly. The brief raised serious questions about Bill 1 based on what its authors regard as an "unjust treatment of minorities or individuals or an infringement on their rights and freedoms" as the measure now stands. The brief stated that "our main concern is that there should be no violation of the human rights of any in- dividual and that equity in terms of law, customs and usage be maintained for all individuals without dis- tinction." The brief said "We main- tain that the goals of Bill 1 must be consistent with the protection of human rights and dignity of all citizens. BRODY'S Boys & Young Mens Wear 13745 W. 9 MILE RD.

The two organizations said that the Jewish commu- nity specifically sought the elimination from Bill 1 of provisions which stipulated that it supersedes the Que- bec Charter of Human Rights. The Jewish commu- nity also asked a change in the wording of the bill's pre- amble to make it clear that the term "Quebecois" appli- es to all persons in the pro- vince, regardless of their language. Joel Pinsky, who pre- sided at the press confer- ence at CJC headquarters, said the "relationship be- tween the Jewish commu- nity and the Quebec govern- ment is generally good, now and in the past." Howard Kresthol, presi- dent of District 22 of Bnai Brith, said "There are Absorption D issolution Causes Controversy JERUSALEM (JTA )- Leon Dulzin's disclosure of his plans to abolish the Ab- sorption Ministry and in- corporate its functions into the Jewish Agency frame- work brought him into sharp conflict last week with his Likud colleague David Levi who just took of- fice as Minister of Absorp- tion in the Begin govern- ment. Dulzin, a member of Likud's Liberal Party wing, is presently Jewish Agency treasurer. He is Likud's can- didate for the chairmanship of the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization Executives and is consid- ered virtually certain to be elected to that office at the 29th World Zionist Congress convening in February, 1978. Levi, who is a member of Premier Menahem Begin's Herut wing of Likud, took strong exception to re- marks by Dulzin. Maccabia Games to Open, Thousands Expected to Attend JERUSALEM—Prime Minister Menahem Begin re- cently expressed the hope that East European coun- tries would enable their Jewish sportsmen to take part in the 10th Maccabia Games July 12-21 in Israel. "If these governments will enable Jewish sports- men to come to Israel to take part in the sports com- petitions of the Maccabia Games." Begin said, "this will prove that in spite of ideological differences and other basic gaps between re- gimes. there is still some- thing which can unite hu- manity, and this is the _noble spirit of sport." Almost 3,000 participants from 32 countries will par- ticipate in the 25 sporting events (including a special bridge and chess tourna- ment) of the Maccabia Games. known as the "Jew- ish Olympics." The Maccabia Games have been held since 1932 in Israel, and the Maccabia is recognized by the Inter- national Olympic Com- mittee and the Inter- national Federation of Sport as an international competition of Olympic standing, being one of only five such recognized events in the world. On the eve of the games there will be a gathering of all the teams and thousands of Israelis who worked to prepare the Maccabia games in the Yad Eliyahu Sports Palace in Tel Aviv. A special program of song and dance will be present- ed. Then. July 12. the opening ceremony of the 10th Mac- cabia will take place in the 50.000-seat National Sta- dium of Ramat Gan. The Games will be declared open by Israeli President Ephraim Katzir. under whose patronage the games people moving out of Que- are included. - But he said bec, both French speaking that in general. the Jewish and English speaking, and community here will re- certainly a number of Jews main unchanged. will be held. Micky Berkowitz, Israel's leading basketball player, member of the Tel Aviv Maccabi hoopsters who re- cently won the European Cup. will be the torch bear- er at the opening ceremo- nies. and will light the Mac- cabia flame which will re- main burning during the 10 days of the games. - The torch, carried by Berkowitz, will be lit ear- lier in the day at the site of the graves of the ancient Maccabeans at Mod in near Tel Aviv, and will be car- ried from there to the Ramat Gan Stadium by run- ners of Maccabi Tzair (Young Maccabi). Israel will have the larg- est contingent of athletes and officials at the games. but large delegations are ex- pected to arrive from the USA, Australia, Brazil. Can- ada. England. France. Mexi- co and South Africa. Coun- tries participating for the first time in the games in- clude Bolivia, Costa Rica, New Zealand and the Vir- gin Islands. Capacity crowds are ex- pected to attend the basket- ball, swimming and tennis competitions. Many eyes will especially be on the swimming trials where in the past many Olympic hopefuls, such as Mark Spitz, have used the Mac- cabia Games as a launch- ing pad., current urrent Maccabia Games include some sports usually not in Olympic corn- petition such as cricket. golf, lawn bowling, squash. tennis and table tennis. Equestrian competition, a popular Olympic drawing card. is not included in the 1977 Maccabia. but patron- age has been granted to a horse-riding competition to take place July 18 at the Na- tional Park in Ramat Gan. On assuming his Cabinet post he said he considered the Absorption Ministry an essential and permanent de- partment of government and, if anything, would seek to expand its authority. He noted that some of his Ministry's functions are du- plicated by the Jewish Agency's aliya department and that this situation must be ended. He said he want- ed all functions connected with absorption to come under the purveiw of the Ab- sorption Ministry. Dulzin, on the other hand, said that he intends to abol- ish the ministry in accord- ance with the recommenda- tions of the Horev Commis- sion, a panel headed by Amos Horev, which studied the problems of consoli- dating immigration and ab- sorption activities. The commission proposed that the Absorption Min- istry and the Agency's aliya department be replaced by an autonomous aliya and sorption authority which would be responsible to the Prime Minister but would be headed by the Jewish Agency-WZO chairman.
