It claimed further that those companies are pro- tected by the federal gov- ernment's failure to enforce regulations intended to eliminate discrimination based on religion or na- tional origin: The findings of the study were revealed by Ira Gissen, director of ADL's discrimi- nation department. Gissen spelled out what he called "classic dis- crimination" on the executive level among the oil companies. It in- cludes "recruitment avoidance, promotion levels beyond which Jews cannot go, non- assignment of Jews to certain job areas and stereotyped employ- ment." The report charged that federal compliance officers have in most cases not even bothered to ask companies whether they were doing anything to comply with the religion and national origin guidelines contained in Title 41, Section 60 of the Code. of Federal Regula- tions. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Prog- rams is supposed to monitor the enforcement of Title 41. That's the Tamaroff Sales Policy.

Insured. Duty prepaid. v; Phone 353 1300 - In that connection, the ADL said it found that fed- eral regulations requiring implementation of equal employment opportunity on the basis of religion have been largely ignored. Although federal regula- tions require that corpora- tions must make-reasonable allowances for- their employes' religious needs such as Sabbath obser- vance, the ADL said the oil companies do not make such provisions. Gissen said that dis- crimination against Jews is reinforced by the fact that the oil companies subsidize their execu- tives' membership in re- stricted clubs which serve as business meet- ing places. Therefore, Jews are denied promo- tion opportunities be- cause they are denied membership in such clubs. Gissen suggested that the employment of Jews in such departments as legal, ac- counting and research was "stereotyped." In London, attempts to curtail the Arab boycott in Britain took an important step forward when the House of Lords referred draft legislation outlawing compliance with foreign boycotts to a select commit- tee for detailed considera- tion. The move was taken de- spite strong opposition by both the government and Conservative opposition. The draft legislation, enti- tled the Foreign Boycotts Bill,-had been introduced by Lord Byers, the Liberal Par- ty's leader in the upper house. Under his bill, businessmen who illegally complied with such a boycott could face fines of up to 10,000 Pounds Sterling or jail sentences of up to two years. More than 1000 British companies had been blacklisted for failing to comply with the Arab boycott, Lord Byers ad- ded. Fear of the boycott had caused a loss of busi- ness and of jobs in Britain and had even aroused anti-Semitism. In a related development, Kuwaiti banking interests continue to enforce the Arab boycott against financial institutions regarded as sympathetic to Israel by re- fusing to admit blacklisted firms into underwriting syndicates which they manage or co-manage, ac- cording to a study of inter- national public financings by the American Jewish Congress. The study, which covered a 12-month period ending last September, analyzed 28 separate underwritings in which Arab underwriters of blacklisted Jewish-owned firms took part. Analysis of these financ- ings showed that: • Arab underwriters — chiefly, three Kuwaiti banks — refused to admit blacklisted firms into syn- dicates they managed co-managed; • Arab firms refusea to join syndicates managed or co-managed by blacklisted firms; • Arab banks and blacklisted firms took part in the same underwritings only when the management of the syndicate was in "neutral" hands. Five banks were the targets of the Arab blacklisting policy, the American Jewish Congress study found. They were: Banque Rothschild, Lazard Freres & Co. (U.S.), Lazard Freres et Cie (France), N.M. Rothschild & Sons, Ltd. and S.G. Warbug & Co., Ltd. The three Kuwaiti banks that carried out the boycott were the Kuwait Foreign Trading and Contracting Co., Kuwait International Investment Co. and Kuwait Investment Co. Ruth Kluger Holocaust. Sequels: 'Secret Ship' and South Lebanon Ruth Kluger's dramatic role in the escape of Jewish captives from the Nazis in Romania to the land of Is rael, originally published as "The Last Escape," has been re-written by Miss Kluger and Peggy Mann and pub- lished as a children's book by Doubleday. "The Secret Ship" re-tells the story of Miss Kluger, one of the five living members of the Mossad le Aliya Bet (Organization of Illegal Immigrants). Miss Mann, who has writ- ten more than 30 books for children and adults, con- ducted more than 1,000 hours of taped interviews with Miss Kluger for "The Secret Ship" and inter- viewed many others before writing the volume. Miss Kluger was in De- troit in December on be- half of the United Jewish Appeal and the Labor Zionist Alliance. She said she is working on a sequel which she hopes will be published by mid-1978. • "Novels are hard, but the truth is bitter," she said. Much of her time is now taken up in Israel with help- ing another oppressed group, the Lebanese Christ- ians. She is actively work- ing with the Israel Public Committee for Aiding Lebanon, providing food, clothing and medical supplies to the Christians of southern Lebanon. "Haifa University has ac- cepted 12 Lebanese stu- dents, and wants to accept more, but it is difficult be- cause they have to return home each afternoon for guard duty," Miss Kluger said. She crossed the "Good Fence" into Lebanon last fall for the funeral of Capt. Farah, a Lebanese commander who was a cousin of Detroiter Heidi Brancheau. "We just went to console the family and they acted so grateful." A mortar round exploded nearby during the funeral and Miss Kluger said the children are becom- ing used to living in bun- kers. The relief committee has provided many items, in- cluding a generator to re- place one destroyed by the PLO. "We've even sent oranges and olives," she said. "It is devastating to think that we have to send oranges and olives to Leba- non." Miss Kluger said that ev- erything the committee supplies has been donated privately. Clothing drives for the Lebanese have been held throughout Israel. "Christian organiza- tions have done nothing in south Lebanon," she said. "The people know we are the only ones to help them. We couldn't sit back and watch another Holocaust." RUTH KLUGER Miss Kluger said her visit to Lebanon was her first in 30 years. She was struck by the destruction of the land, "which used to be so lush. But the people continue to try to work the land, even under fire." Only two -miles separate the nearest kibutz with Lebanese Christian of Alma el Chaap. Miss Kluger is the only woman active on the com- mittee, and she says the work has delayed her sequel. : Arabs Increasing CAIRO (ZINS) — The world Arab population, at 125 million in 1973, is ex- pected to reach 325 million by the year 2000. A study by the Arab Institute of De- velopment in Beirut said that if the birth rate were reduced to 2.3 percent, the year 2000 Arab population would still be 240 million.
