Islamic Custom
Permits Slavery
in Mauritania
Jewish Workers Organize
Against HUD Anti-Semitism
NEW YORK — Although
slavery was officially
abolished in the African
state of Mauritania several
months ago, many blacks
continue to be regarded as
property by a number of
their former masters who,
in most cases, are Arab
families.
According to the Black-
Jewish Information Center,
thousands of blacks still pay
their former masters part of
their crops or salary and
some local authorities have
returned blacks to slavery
citing Islamic laws which
permit them to do so.
The traditional system of
servitude stems from cen-
turies of Arab slave trade
and the 17th Century con-
quest of Mauritania by the
Moors.
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Federal Times, a Wash-
ington weekly reporting de-
velopments affecting gov-
ernment personnel, says
Jewish employees at the
U.S. Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Develop-
ment (HUD) have organized
to combat anti-Semitism
within the agency.
In its current edition, the
Federal Times said that the
employees are "troubled by
a perceived insensitivity of
upper management-federal
employees" and "are or-
ganizing a Jewish caucus to
protect their rights and
push for more active
enforcement of equal em-
ployment opportunity."
A Jewish group is being
formally organized both for
professional and cultural
purposes as well as to corn-
bat unfair treatment, ac-
cording to the weekly.
It was pointed out that
several cases of discrimi-
nation against Jews have
been presented to the
Anti-Defamation League
of Bnai Brith and one
case has entered legal
proceedings. One allega-
tion was that time off for
Goren's Surgery in U.S.
Starts Uproar in Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA)
Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi
Shlomo Goren has come
under severe criticism in
the press and public opinion
in Israel for having gone to
Cleveland for a quadruple
bypass operation by an
American surgeon. The op-
eration was performed suc-
cessfully last week by Dr.
Floyd Loop who performed a
similar operation on King
Khalid of Saudi Arabia two
years ago.
Goren is being taken to
task for having surgery per-
formed abroad when hun-
dreds of similar operations
are performed each year at
Israeli hospitals. People are
also incensed over the

rights and privileges of im-
portant public figures to
have their medical expenses
covered by the public purse,
including expenses incur-
red abroad.
The Goren case has stir-
red debate over the various
laws and regulations
awarding medical benefits
to VIPs. These laws and
regulations are not entirely
clear. Some top level per-
sons, including government
ministers, are entitled to
public defrayment of their
medical expenses and those
of members of their
families.
Several newspapers
have called for a
thorough overhaul of the
entire system so that such
benefits are limited only
to the highest office hol-
ders.
The question of when the
public should pay the medi-
cal bills of officials who re-
ceive treatment abroad is
also being aired. In Goren's
case, his Israeli physician,
Dr. Henry Neufeld, chief of
cardiology at the Sheba
Medical Center, did not
recommend that the Chief
Rabbi go overseas for
surgery. But Goren's family
decided on the Cleveland
Clinic and Neufeld provided
the Americans with his full
medical history.
This issue has been
brought before the Knesset.
Wise Award
Winners Listed
NEW YORK — Thomas
A. Murphy, chairman of the
board of General Motors
Corp., and Marshall S. Co-
gan, board chairman of
General Felt Industries,
will be honored by the
American Jewish Congress
at its annual Stephen Wise
Award dinner Nov. 25 at the
New York Hilton.
Max M. Fisher is dinner
chairman. Murphy will be
honored for "distinguished
leadership in the cause of
interfaith understanding."
Cogan will receive his
award for "dedication and
commitment to human
rights and social justice."
Jewish holidays has been
refused in some instances
although federal policy is
to accommodate reli-
gious personnel.
In cultural pursuits, the
Jewish group plans an ex-
hibit at HUD in conjunction
with the Jewish Book
Month (which runs through
Dec. 2) and to organize He-
brew conversation and
Jewish heritage classes. Of
the approximately 4,000
employees at HUD's main
offices here, about 300 are
believed to be Jewish.
HUD officials told JTA
that HUD Secretary Moon
Landrieu is concerned
about the discrimination al-
legations and is seeking to
eliminate them. As Mayor
of New Orleans, Landrieu
developed a reputation for
strong support for civil
rights, the officials said. "If
there is discrimination he'll
(Landrieu) do what he can
to eliminate it." Thus far,
however, no list of griev-
ances has been presented
and "no formal request" to
see the secretary has been
made, according to a Land-
rieu aide.
Navon Hails Egypt Trip
as an Unexpected Success
(JTA)
CAIRO
President Yitzhak Navon
hailed his five-day visit to
Egypt as a success beyond
expectations.
Navon said he came to
Egypt with the intention of
establishing new ties and
improving existing ones. In
his talks with President
Anwar Sadat, he said, sev-
eral understandings were
reached which further those
purposes.
Navon
noted that both
.
countnes have undertaken
to establish road transpor-
tation to improve trade be-
tween them, to increase air
service for the benefits of
tourists and others and to
initiate economic, cultural,
professional and youth ex-
changes.
Navon and his wife
Ophira gave a gala
dinner for Sadat and his
wife Jihan at the Abdin
Palace where the Israeli
guests stayed during
their visit to Cairo.
Navon addressed the
60-member Council of the
National Democratic Party,
Egypt's governing party
and was well received by his
audience of top political fig-
ures.
Former Prime Minister
Mustapha Khalil, chairman
of the Council, followed him
on the podium with a
friendly but frank discourse
in which he summarized
Jewish history from the
Patriarch Abraham to tho-
modern state of Israel.
He did not doubt the
right of Israel to exist. It
was founded on the basis
of a United Nations deci-
sion, Khalil said. He cre-
dited Egypt with taking
the initative for peace
and for agreeing with Is-
rael to try to solve the
question of the legitimate
rights of the Palestinians.
The agreement, he said,
was for full autonomy.
According to Khalil,
there can be no separation
between land and people, a
reference to Israel's position
that autonomy is for the
people of the occupied ter-
ritories, not for the land.
Khalil maintained that a
solution of the Palestinian
issue is the basis for an
overall settlement in the
region. "Security-means se-
curity for all sides and there
can be no security without
peace," he said.
Leaflet Demands
Orthodox Israelis
Withhold Taxes
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
An anonymous leaflet dis-
tributed last week in
ultra-Orthodox neighbor-
hoods of Jerusalem suggests
a very effective way to deal
with income tax officials:
kill them on the spot.
The leaflet was distrib-
uted following clashes be-
tween local residents and
representatives of the tax
authorities. The ultra-
Orthodox refuse to pay
taxes because they do not
recognize the Zionist state.
The leaflet, signed by
"Those robbed and tortured
in Zionist captivity," de-
scribed the income tax offi-
cials as "a group of armed
robbers." It charged that the
tax money is used to finance
all sorts of "heresies."
Therefore, the authors of
the leaflet suggest, "it is by
the rule of Torah . . . that
one is entitled to kill those
people without trial."
