WALTHAM, Mass. (JTA)
— Thirty-six members of
the faculty and staff of the
Brandeis University, all
identified as having con-
tributed to the current an-
nual campaign of the Com-
bined Jewish Philan-
thropies (CJP) of Boston,
have released a letter ques-
tioning key elements of the
policies of Premier
Menahem Begin's govern-
ment and declaring that
"we make a clear distinction
between the policies of the
Begin government and the
people of Israel."
The protest letter was
sent to Ruth Fein, president
of the CJP. The letter de-
Clared:
"As members of the fa-
culty and staff of Brandeis
University, - we have re-
cently been solicited to con-
tribute to CJP in Boston,
part of whose funds go to
support welfare activities in
Israel. This solicitation
comes at a time when we are
seriously concerned about
recent events and policies in
the State of Israel.
"These necessarily af-
fect our feelings about
continuing to give to
CJP. While we have not

resolved all our doubts,
we are continuing our
support with a contribu-
tion. Therefore, we feel
compelled to communi-
cate to the leadership of
the campaign views
which we believe should
be taken into account for
the future."
The letter was signed by
Bernard Reisman and
Robert Perlman. Also
among the signatories were

Copies of the letter were
addressed to Yuval Metser,

the Prime Minister's Office
in Jerusalem; Irving Berns-
tein, executive vice chair-
man of the United Jewish
Appeal; and the to the office
of Israel's Ambassador to
the United States.

Foremost among the
American competitors is
Larry Myricks of Missis-
sippi College who hails from
Tallahassee, Fla. Myricks is
listed as the number two,
200-meter sprinter in the
world, and is the NCAA
champ in that event. His
best time is 20.6 seconds. In
addition, Myricks has a
28'2" long jump to his credit.
Another outstanding
athlete, who will be on
the U.S. squad, is pole
vaulter Jeff Ward, who
has vaulted 18'2". He has
been a representative of
the University of Miami
of Ohio in competitions
held around the globe.
Joe Zelezniak, who has a
toss of over 68' in the shot
put and Tony Campbell, a
hurdler from UCLA will
also make the trip to Is-
rael.
Another top flight hur-
dler is Floyd Johnson, rated
number five in the United
States, who represents Tus-
keegee Institute. Eastern
Kentucky University high
jumper Ken Glover, whose
best leap is 7'6," is
scheduled to compete.
In the Hapoel basketball
competition the four teams
originally slated to go at
each other were Israel, Hol-
land, the United States and
Romania. As was expected,
by many, Romania was pul-
led out by its govern-
ment. Romania will be re-
placed by Panama.
In addition, the United
States may send a second
team to compete in the
round robin basketball
tourney.
Guy Lewis, coach of the
Houston Cougars, who
finished second in this
year's NCAA basketball
tournament, was the U.S.
Maccabia basketball coach
during the 1973 Games.
That particular year the
U.S. team lost in the finals
to an aggressive Israeli
team in an exciting contest.
Lewis has long been asso-
ciated with Jewish basket-
ball events and has coached
Or Gorin, now a play-
making guard for the Mac-
cabi Tel Aviv team.
