• NEW YORK (WNS) ~ Jewish oommimit^ centers and YM-YWHA in 59 cities ai'epartlcipa^ hi community efforts for the poor and disadvantaged, the; NatlMial Jeivish Welfiire Board reported. These eltorts include Head Start programs, diild care centers, tutdrlaliuidremedlalreading programs, training of volunteers for imtl-poverty programs, job training opportunities and inclusion ofipoorandmindrily chUdren in camp and other
Center activities.
Such community work has generated proUems or con¬ flicts, 26 ilewish centers re¬ ported. Sixteen centers notecl overt oUectims by a "very small minority" at mem¬ bers, mostly to N^ro cUl-' dren using Cacilltles or ser¬ vices. But the JWB r^mrt emirihaslzed that "no Center has changed its policy or procedures as a consequence of such objections."
THE JWB report noted that the overwhelming ma¬ jority of Center ewcuttve directors believed'that in¬ volvement in such activities was "a-valid expression of Jewish commitment and values without 'adverse at- fiect' on the Center's pri¬ mary function of serving die Jewish communily."
While Negroes are the ma¬ jor group served inthe com¬ munity pr ogr am s, Puerto
Ricads and Mexiean Ameri¬ cans are being helped and the Centers are also more active in seekiiig and serv¬ ing, impoverished Jews, particularly the aged.
JEWISH Center eioiendi- tures from their own bud- isets for such services to the poor represented a very modest prbpinrtlon of their total buckets, rarely being more than $10,000 annually for any Center.
In addltlm to their own programs, members of tiie board of directors of nuqy Centers were very active in such work and those Centers which have set up commit¬ tees on social legislation and governmental action tend to have very active parti- dipation by staff and trus¬ tees in community programs forthe poor.

SCHOTTENSTEIN QONORED
Ahead Says Paper
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —Egyptian political leaders were warned by Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad that Egypt must gird for a "Icmg hard battle" with Israel, according to the Cairo newspaper Al Gomhourla.
The newspaper quoted Riad as assertfaig that the Middle East peace mission of United Nations envoy Gunnar V. Jarring was caught hi "a vicious ch-cle with Israel launching diplomatic maneuvers" and
refusing to withdraw fTom occupied Arab territories. He reportedly added that "consequently we are be¬ ginning a new phase where¬ in wie should reassess the situation and map new plans for the future, both mili¬ tarily and diplomatically."
HE WARNED that Israel "is not alone" and that this "WiU impose on us a long hard tattie."
The United Press Inter¬ national reported from Mos¬ cow this week that the So¬ viet Government wants Arab , action against Israel limited to harassment and that it has warned President Nas¬ ser agahist any moves that might trigger a new war. The dispatch said that this information was learned by another UPl correspondent ICC. Thaler, covering the current NATO Council of Ministers session in Brus¬ sels.
ACCORDING to-Thaler , the ICremlin told Mr. Nasser that Egypt was not ready for a major war foUowing the recent escalation of fighting
across the Suez Canal.
Israel Foreign Minisb^ sources meanwhUe have hot discounted reports from Belgrade that Egypt might favor an "imposed" solu¬ tion of the Middle East dead¬ lock but they inade it clear that Israel remained strong¬ ly opposed to any settiement which was not an outcome of direct Israeli negotiations with the Arabs,
MINISTRY sources said Big Power-imposed solution miglit be the ideal answer for Egypt which knows it can¬ not force Israel's withdrawal tram the occupied terri¬ tories by Soviet political iressures alone but. which is not ready for cinother war with Israel.
Riad appeared on nation¬ wide Egyptian television this week and appealed to Mr. Nixon to ridthe United States Administration' of "great Zionist infiuence" which, be said, has characterized re¬ cent Admbilstrations.
