A Jewish feminist who is committed to greater equal- ity for women within the framework of Jewish law has declared that "the call for more Jewish babies is a simplistic solution to a com- plex problem" which she contended had some anti- feminist implications. Paula Hyman, assistant professor of history at Columbia University, said another issue in the prob- lem and proposed solution MR. and MRS.

Reporting her views in an issue of "Shwa," she argued that "the central factor" in gloomy predictions about a shrinking Jewish commu- nity was "the high cost of assimilation — either through opting out of the community or through min- imal affiliation among nom- inal Jews." She said that she found "particularly troubling" as a Jewish feminist that many prop'onents of large Jewish families ap- pear insensitive to self- fulfillment. She said most Jewish feminists readily agree that such fulfill- ment can come through motherhood. But, she added, many mothers seek fulfillment outside the home as well as within it. Ms. Hyman said that while the family roles of American Jewish women Oil Is Controlling EEC Statements NEW YORK — A re- search report just published by the Institute of Jewish Affairs, the London-based research arm of the World Jewish Congress, suggests that the political maneuver- ing within the nine-member European Economic Com- munity (EEC) has lead to increasing criticism of Is- rael, a greater degree of dis- sociation from American policy and a more conciliat- ory approach to the Arab oil-producing states over the past two years. The report states that private reservations and ambivalence about the Egypt-Israel peace treaty have now become public and the EEC statement on the Middle East in June was the "coolest yet toward the Israel-Egypt accord . . . For the first time since the sign- ing of the peace treaty, the nine were united in con- demning Israel." The report suggests that futur6 EEC policy will probably be determined by the fact that "the intensify- ing scramble for oil has put an even higher premium on mollifying OPEC and on securing at the almost any price the flow of the precious commodity it controls." BB Names New Directors WASHINGTON — Rabbi Irwin M. Blank of Brook- line, Mass. has been ap- pointed director of the Bnai Brith department of adult Jewish education, Dr. Daniel Thursz, executive vice president of Bnai Brith International, announced. The organization has also appointed Louis A. Felser of Baltimore director of fiscal operations. may be more egalitarian than those of their parents, the daily responsibility of raising children with few exceptions, "still falls far more heavily upon mothers than upon fathers. The fer- tility boosters rarely call for men to assume a larger share of child care." Generally speaking, she asserted, women who work outside the home do have smaller families than those who do not, leading her to feel that "proponents of large families thus im- plicitly reinforce tradi- tional" confining, mas- culine and feminine roles within the family and explicitly impose guilt upon women who choose to limit their child-bearing." At the very least, promot- ers of high fertility among Jews should address them- selves to the needs of those women who are not enthralled with the pros- pect of a decade of fill-time care of small children," Ms. Hyman said. AJC Aids NOW NEW YORK — The American Jewish Congress has asked the Eighth Cir- cuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis to reject efforts by the state of Missouri to punish the National Organization of Women (NOW) for al- legedly violating the Sher- man Anti-Trust Act in withholding convention business from states that have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. The organization argued that NOW's campaign was protected by First Amend- ment guarantees of freedom of speech and association and that the boycott did not fall within the sphere of ac- tivity at which the anti- trust laws were aimed.
