MARCH 22. 1963 RONICLE ¦» Ttfoionoinoav 39 '':;;?!ilw*?/T;:lir" The World's Week Compllsci from JTA Raporh In Jerusalem, Mikhail Bodrov, the Soviet Ambassador to Israel, said he would look Into the matter of the refusal of Soviet authorities to allow import of matzoths for Soviet Jews for Passover. The envoy made the statement In reply to a question under unique circumstances—while he was wearing a skull¬ cap during a two-hour visit to the Helchal Shlomo, the home of Israel's Chief Rabbinate. He was received by Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Nissim. In Paris, the Algerian Parliament adopted a new na¬ tionality law which was described by legal experts here as "discriminatory against non-Moslem residents" of Algeria, who Include some 15,000 Jews. The experts also asserted that the new law was "con¬ trary to the spirit and letter of the Franco-Algerian Evian agreement" by which Algeria won independence from France after many years as a French colony. In Tel Aviv, Syrian gunners opened fire on three trac¬ tors working In the demilitarized zone between Ein Gev and Tel Katzir In the Lake Tiberias area in the first border incident since the latest coup in Syria. The shooting against the tractors, which were prepar¬ ing fields for siunmer crops, lasted about 10 minutes. Then when the tractor drivers were preparing to leave the area, the Syrians again started shooting. The firing was not retiu-ned and the tractors were finally removed from the danger area. In New York, four major American life Insurance com¬ panies have signed an agreement with the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc., which will facilitate the construction of homes for over 8,000 Immigrants expected to arrive In Israel In 1963. The four companies are: The Penn Mutual Life In¬ surance Co. of Philadelphia, The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co.,of Springfield, Mass., The State Mutual Life Assurance Co. of America, Worcester, Mass., and the Phoenix Mutual Life insiu-ance Co. of Hartford, Conn. In Vienna, a Wost German court-ruling that the "for¬ mer German Reich" must pay compensation for jewelry seized from an Austrian Jewlah family by the Gestapo was seen here as opening the way for recovery by many Austrian Jewish families for such seizures. In Jerusalem, Abba Eban, Israel's Minister of Educa¬ tion, took issue in Parliament this week with Prime Mini¬ ster Ben-Gurlon on the question of "compulsory and free high school education" in this country. Eban proposed in¬ stead a policy of "free secondary education for those who are adept and who wish It." Eban stated his views as he discussed before the Knes¬ set his ministry's 1963-64 budget, calling for 200,000,000 pounds. He described the Ben-Gurlon formulation on high school education as "both impractical and unnecessary."

Negro Newspaper Reports On Jews NEW YORK, (JTA) — The New York Amsterdam News, a leading Negro weekly newspaper, was sharply criticized here this week for a report In Its current Issue alleging that "a highly confidential study" had established that "Jews control New York City's top jobs." The weekly also asserted that the study demonstrated that Jews hold 53 per cent of top positions" In city government though they constituted only 26.4 per cent of the city's population. The newspaper did not specify the sponsorship of the "secret" sur¬ vey beyond implying that it was done by Protestants. Subsequently it developed that such a study had been made under the sponsorship of the Protestant Council of the aty ot New York. THE PROTESTANT COUNCIL issued a statement "profoundly" regretting the bnplications in the Amsterdam News version of the survey, which the Council said It had never intended to publish be¬ cause it was loo "tentative and In¬ conclusive." The Council also as¬ serted lhat the weekly's version "distorts the purpose of the study." The Amsterdam News version also was condemned by the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the American .lewish Committee, and the Urban League, a Negro organization. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS re¬ ported the survey had "tar reach¬ ing racial implications" since It had been indicated that about 85 per cent of the city's Protestants are Negroes. According to the Am¬ sterdam News version, one of the survey's conclusions was that "Jews tend to get jobs far in excess of their percentage of the population" and that Jews "are overrepresented in 31 categories and underrepre- sented in five categories" in city positions. The Amsterdam News re¬ port said that the "results and conclusions" were based on a study of "the 2,444 top city positions, with a total of 2,161 persons re¬ porting their religious affiliation." Among "specific recults" cited by the Amsterdam News as aris¬ ing from the study were that "in the city and borough administra¬ tive offices, of 656 persons'who re¬ ported a religious affiliation, 310 were Catholic, 260 were Jewish and only 75 Protestant."

Al¬ though the word "enjoys" may seem strange when used in connection with the giving and use of blood, it is important to remember that tiecause of this agreement, and be¬ cause the citizens of Columbus have pledged themselves to con¬ tribute blood on an on-going annual basis to the Red Cross, that organi¬ zation in turn has pledged to furn¬ ish all the blood needed for Colum¬ bus area residents in any of the hospitals in our community. The Jewish Community is a part of this participating arrangement, and through the Blood Donor Coun¬ cil of the Council of Organizations which is part of the United Jewish Fund and Council, every member of the community can help main¬ tain and strengthen the blood pro¬ gram through which they are en¬ abled to "enjoy" the protection of getting blood when it is needed, in case of sickness, for an operation or for an emergency situation. . The Blood Donor Ouncil, headed by Leonard Quinn, has set Wed¬ nesday, Apr. 24, from noon to 6 p.m. at 'The Jewish Center, as the date of the Spring Blood Donor Campai^. Drive chairman is Sanford Fish¬ man with Rudolph Stem, Jr., Dav¬ id Canowitz and Dr. Aaron Katz serving as majors.
