Spain Restricting Israeli Shipping
WASHINGTON (JTA) - The Spanish Embassy here sought to clarify the anti-Israel boycott re¬ strictions that have been imposed on Israeli ships seeking to land at Spanish ports, but facts were re¬ ceived in Washington that Israeli ships already have met with re¬ strictions in Spanish harbors.
Reports received last week Indi¬ cated that the Major Spanish ports of La Palmas and Barcelona were "out of bounds" for Israel shipping, which would not be given harbor facilities there after April 30,
The Spanish Embassy statement here said that Spain had not changed its policy but that Israeli ships were trying to land in Spain without having proper consular rep¬ resentation.
The statement failed to explain that Spain has refused to establish diplomatic and consular exchanges with Israel. ]
Citing what it called "reports originating in Jerusalem." the Em¬ bassy cited a Madrid statement to the effect that "Israeli ships for some time have been caUing at the ports of Malaga and Palma de Mallorca without , previously re¬ questing permission from Spanish authorities and without meeting consular and customs requirements which are normal for vessels of all nations and common practice for all world shippers."
The statement said that "as long as Israeli vessels limited calls to
only one or two Spanish ports, and these were not on a regular sched¬ ule, the Spanish authorities took no steps against this situation.
But, with the recent increase of calls by Israeli flak ships and their inclusion of other ports in Eastern and Southern Spain, Spanish au¬ thorities were requesting that such vessels, having no consular repre¬ sentation in Spanish territory, re¬ strict their stops to the ports of Malaga and Palma de Mallorca, where Israeli ships witli tourists are accustomed to call,"
It added that "the aforementioned requirement has always been made with sufficient advance notice, so that Israeli ships en route to a Spanish port could arrange such stops without difficulty or incon¬ venience,"
Madrid sought to emphasize that the move was "administrative." and was not in "response to pres¬ sure by any foreign nations,"
Reports were received in Wash¬ ington that last week the Spanish port of Cadiz refused for three days to unload the IsraeU ship "Yehuda." on the basis of "new instructions" to deny rights to Israel vessels.
At the port of Las Palmas. an¬ other IsraeU ship was refused fuel,
^^Shipping sources termed the Sp'a'nish move "an arbitrary, sud¬ den imposition of a ban that will prevent Israeli ships access to Spanish ports,"
Spring Is Here Again! It's Time To ^^Clean-Up
Winter, though dragging its feet, seems to be leaving the stage, and Spring is waiting in the wings for its entrance.
Winter is a closed in time, a time when doors and windows are closed against the cold, a time when dust collects from the dry heat, paint fades, floors and carpeting suffer from the abuse of wet feet bringing in snow and slush.

¦.VASHINGTON. (JTA)-Thc State 111 partmcnt does not believe that r'li United States Government ' iiuld involve itself directly with ^ • 'iet authorities on the problem of Soviet Jewry, the Department has informed Senator Hugh Scott. Penasylvania Republican,
Senator Scott responded with a charge that "our government is shrirking its responsibility in this area," He criticized the State De¬ partment for opposing the Riblcoff amendment which would have con¬ demned Soviet anti-Semitism,
The White House asked the State Department to respond to Senator Scott on the request ot PhUadelphia area citizens that the Government take more overt action to help Soviet Jewry,
Douglas MacArthur. 2nd, Assist¬ ant Secretary of State for Con¬ gressional Relations wrote Senator Scott about the government's latest assessment of the situaUon of Russian Jews,
"As stated in this assessment," Mr, MacArthur said, "the Depart¬ ment does not believe that formal, government-to-government protests over the situation of the Soviet Jewish community are in the best interests of Soviet Jews,"
He pointed out that "in the past, Soviet officials have reacted un¬ favorably   to   criticism   by   foreign
CELEBRITIES IN FASfflON SHOW
Mr,s, Jacob Javits, the wife of the United States Senator from New York (left), and Mai .Brilt, the motion picture uctres.s (right), were among the celebrities who took part in the Givenchy-1 srael Fashion Show in New York recently to launch the Women's Division campaign for the sale of Israel Boncls. The lOG.'J Israel Bond Fashon Show offers striking examples of original designs by leading Israel fashion experts as well as by Givenchy, the outstanding French creator of fashion. In its tour of scores of cities throughout the United States and Canada, the annual Fashion Show has not only been the major vehicle for large- scale Israel Bond activities among women, but has also served lo stimulate tho growth of Israel's fashion and tex¬ tile ex|)orts to this country.
government organs or official repre¬ sentations on matters which the Soviet Government considers to be Soviet internal affairs,"
The Assistant Secretary of State told Senator Scott that the SUte Department "has found on the basis of repeated experience that the most serious official representations which officials of our government have made in the past at a govern¬ ment-to-government level had been rejected by Soviet leaders as inter¬ ference in Soviet internal affairs."
A recommendation was again made by the State Department that private individuals and organiza¬ tions displeased by Soviet poUcies affecting Jews ^continue to voice their views in appeals to world public opinion,
"We hope that world public opinion can lead the Soviet Govern¬ ment to calculate that its interest can best be served by moderating its campaign against Judaism," Mr, MacArthur said.
The State Department official as¬ sessment of Soviet anti-Semitism said: "While aU observers agree that Soviet Jews are being placed under increasing restrictions with regard to reUgious worship, the United States Government has no information indicating that Soviet Jews fear physical persecution of the type and magnitude which was directed against them during Czarist times or during the immediate post¬ war period under StaUn."
Senator Scott said he disagreed "emphatically" with the govern¬ ment's decision to refrain from ac¬ tion. He said that "for the past two years, U. S. Government officials have expressed their oon- cern about this situation, but only before Jewish groups in the United States, never to the Soviet Union and—with one exception—not even before the United Nations."
The Senator charged that the government "puts its head in the sand on the issue of human rights."

J.F.S. Aims At Strengthening Of Jewish Family Life
By Manny Sobel
"Suite 328" is the designation on the undramatic rectangular sign at the elevator exit on the third floor at 40 S. Third St,
Here is where one is directed to the quietly busy office of the Jewish Family Service, And, here it is that one finds the collective responsibility of the Jewish community of Columbus for the troubled, the distressed, the incapacitated, the uncertain and the sick.
Headed by executive director. Ben Mandelkorn and associate direc¬ tor. Murray Daninhirsch. along with a staff of trained caseworkers, the  JFS  concerns  itself  with  the
strengthening of Jewish family life; the unwed mother; the father, too ill to support his family; the con¬ fused immigrant, lost in a strange land; the widow who must fiU the need of a missing father; the bro¬ ken family; the aged whose fam¬ ilies can no longer care for them; the individual who for a variety of reasons - lack of training, ignor¬ ance of the language, emotional or physical problems - is difficult to place in a job; the defiant, resent¬ ful juvenile; the mentally iU; all these and more arc the concern of the JFS.
Contrary to what one sees on T.'V.. there aro no "bleeding hearts" or "angry young men" in this agency. The agency takes a calm. cool, objective approach U) each problem. Its major job is counseling.
Discussing the operation of the Jewish Family Service. Mr, Danin¬ hirsch observed, "There is no magic formula for solving the va¬ riety of individual problems. Each situation is unique. The individual who comes for help must invest of himself. With our help we try to have him assess in realistic fashion.
his assets, his strengths, his"iieeds, and to build on his own potential self-suffficiency  and  creativity,
"This agency does not exist in an artifically created vacuum of social activity. We function because there is a real need for our type of ser¬ vice,
"The Board of Trustees, which is clecteil from the general Jewish community, is a group of devoted volunteers wlio decide agency pol¬ icy, which reflects the changing needs of the  Jewish community.
"To illustrate the changes in our functions, at the time this agency was formed, 55 years ago. its major effort was in the field of assisting immigrants to adjust to our Amer¬ ican way of life with the chief focus being on financial aid and re-edu¬ cation.
"Today our Jewish population is almost wholly native-born. Other agencies, particularly public agen¬ cies,   have   largely   taken  over   fi¬
nancial assistance, except for newly arrived refugees.
The major function of Jewish Family Service is providing coun¬ seling.
Emphasis on the problems of the aged has increased in recent years as have their numbers. The social changes affecting American hfe have had some serious consequen COS upon our former well-knit Jew ibh family life.
The problems of religious identifi¬ cation; the difficulty of reconciling some of our religious beliefs and practices with the hard realities of our American existence; the clash of different generations which do not always understand each other properly; the broken family; di¬ vorce; juvenile deliquency; aU in¬ dicate the need for an agency such as ours with a Jewish orientation, which can approach the individuals and famiUes requiring our services.
The professional caseworkers are
trained to handle human problems, j and   are  intimately  familiar  with community resources  to  assist  in
the solution of these problems, matters handled by the agency held in strictest confidence.
