Emphasizing that there are no obligations, that the activities are conducted gratis as means of assisting those unable to read, the blind and the elderly, Robert and Ruth Kropel said readers from their group will be available to small as well as larger groups. The Kropels can be con- tacted for the preferred services at 36639 Vicary, Farmington, 477 - 5622. The Detroit Branch of the National Storytellers League, was formed in 1912 by Mary Conover, the city's first children's librarian. The national league was established in 1903 by Dr. RUTH KROPEL Richard Syche on the Uni- versity of Tennessee cam- pus "to encourage the crea- tion and appreciation of the good and the beautiful in life and literature through the art of storytelling." Today, there are more than 100 adult leagues and 40 junior leagues (members under age 18). ROBERT KROPEL The Detroit group meets on the third Satur- day of the month at a member's home to dis- cuss each year's theme, and to listen to two or three members speak. Mrs. Violet Altschuler of Farmington was a winner in a recent storytelling competition. Readers Forum Materials submitted to the Readers Forum ;oust be brief.

The author as- cribes to President Carter advocacy of open diplomacy and partiality to the power of the spoken word. If Carter studied Ameri- can history he would find that open diplomacy was one of the tenets of Pres. Wilson's 14 points for the peace settlement following World War I, and Versailles put an end to it. The current enlightened practice is that you cannot conduct a debate on vital international prob- lems in public view, but the results must perforce be- come public property. As to the power of the spoken word, President Carter's practice could be more accurately char- acterized as the confusing power of contradictory ut- terances. His statements may be viewed as analogous to the action of an insurance claim adjuster, intent to deny liability for damages or injury. President Carter's method is that of the pen- dulum, which oscilates between two terminals; in one swing he appears to be reasonably under- standing and flexible, while in the opposite swing he is the embodi- ment of downright "rishes," in his treatment of Israel; always, of course, tempered by con- sideration of the Jewish vote, remembering that if New York was in his col- umn in the election of 1976, it was in no small measure due to the sup- port of the Jews of New York, and Mr. Carter has future ambitions. At the present time President Carter is in the pendelum swing of the in- surance adjuster's appear- ance of open-mindedness, but make no mistake as the pendulum begins to revert in the opposite direction. Presidents Nixon and Ford, to whom the author refers equating their policy with that of President Car- ter, do not offer a compari- son; for their attitude was wrapped up in Henry Kis- singer, whose policy was to placate the Arabs even at the expense of Israel, though not necessarily sac- rificing Israel's vital inter- est; but a reasonable ap- praisal of President Carter's policy does not indicate that fairness to Israel is one of his objectives. — M. Manuel Merzon . . Kenyatta — Israel's Loss Editor, The Jewish News: A shepherd boy rose from among us to become the leader of our people, Israel, the unifying force in a di- versity of tribal conflict. David was hunted by Saul, accused of inciting against the government, but went on to lead us to solidarity and victory. This week we are sad- dened to hear of the loss of another leader, of another people, President Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya, a great man who rose from similar circumstances to lead his people against British col- onialism, and from times of foreign occupation to na- tional solidarity. We can see many similarities in the Kenyan post-war struggle for inde- pendance and the Israeli struggle against British oc- cupation. The struggle to build an active, strong economy in a land of ques- tionable agricultural fertil- ity and•years of neglect like the struggle for freedom are common denominators of both peoples. A constant reminder of our close ties with Afri- can peoples is the strug- gle of our Falashan brothers for freedom in Ethiopia. As Jews, we too mourn the loss of Jomo Kenyatta, a leader of his people. As Zionists, we can see in him an exam- ple of success for the na- tional aspirations of his people, similar to our own David, David Ben- Gurion. We remember well the help of the people of Kenya in allowing Israeli planes to land as they returned from Entebbe during the great rescue of 1976. President Kenyatta was instrumental in the Israeli success. Though saddened by the loss, we can look forward to a time of hope and coopera- tion between our peoples. Sol P.
