IDL's Rabhi Kaliane Defends Pliilp|D|iliy On David Frost Sliow
But No Blank Cheek For Israel
Rabbi    Meir    Kahane; national  chaininan  of the Jewish  Deffinsev League, defended l^s |ihilosophy that violehce in a righteous caiise waS"jiistifieddn a television talk show broadcast Friday night. He was a guest on the 90-nriiiiute David Frost ^how along with two prominent critics   of   JDL   tactics, ptajfwright Dore Schary, honorary chairman of the B'nai       B'rith's       Anti- Defaniation   League   and Prof. Hans Morgenthau, a politiica)- scientist on the faculty of the University of Chiicago and CUNY. On the show, taped June 28, Kahane denied that JDL members ever engaged in bombing or spitting. He said, "I think it's very easy for people who have liy«l in this country and have freedom to sit back and say, 'Well, it's not nice to do certain things to Russian diplomats.'   That's   quite right, it isn't nice. A war is never nice. This is in effect a war  between  the  Soviet Union  and  Jews.  Spviet diplomats' liyes should be made as bearable or un¬ bearable  as  Soviet  Jews' lives are... I am in favor of any    violence   if   it    is necessary"; even   though "violence4s ugly."
Schary "responded that Kahane's reasoning was "very, strange to me" since "we really are not engaged in a physical war — we're aigaged in a psychological war, a social war." He said
he agreed with Kiahane on only one thing, "that Soviet anti-Sethitism is a reality^" He challenged Kahane's allegations that established Jewish organizations did nothing foifS Soviet Jewry until the iadvent of the JDL. Morgenthau said he was "simply amazed at the naivete ... of thinking that by insulting Russian diplomats on the streets of New ..York you are going to sway the government of the Soviet tinion." He continued, "While it is very easy to incite young Jews in New York to th^;, jkinds of misdeeds which we have witnessed, it is/very easy to forget that three million Jews are hostages to the

WASHINGTON, (JTA> — Sen. 'George Mc06vern, Democrat, South Dakota and the first announced can¬ didate for the Presidency in 1972 told the/ Jewish Telegraphic Agency in an interview. June- 7 that America should scrutinize all arms requests from Israel. "We don't want to give anyone a blank check on the U.S. Treasuiy," he said, adding that he did not favor the repeal of the Jackson ,. Amendment to last year's' Foreign Military Sales Act allowing the President to i authorize as much military • sales credit to Israel as he deemed necessary.
McCrovem isaid that the|^ U.S. should "make a clear' commitment" to the' sur¬ vival of Israel but.^at ,djd not include.snorting Israel in all its negotiating positions. He .said there would; be   no   point   in
negotiating if the U.S. stood entirely behind Israel in aU of her demands. He faulted Secretary of State William P. Rogers for spelling out the American position too ek- plicitly and "raising panic in Israeli circles."
McGovern refused to draw a map he would consider a'' fair settlement on the grounds that he did not believe in an imposed set¬ tlement. He did say, however, that he thought Jerusalem should remaui united under Israeli adfi ministration if Israel would sign some kind of in¬ ternational agreement guaranteeing people of all > faiths access .to their holy places. He said that while free access to the Suez Canal and the Strait of,Tiran would probably h'ave'*to-be an element in the peace set¬ tlement, he did not think that meant   continued   Israeli
occupancy of Sinai or Shahn el-Sheikh. He suggested that the XJnited States and other "interested nations" guard the waterway,^ perhaps under the auspices 6t the United Nations' but ''under orders of their own govern¬ ments as well so as. not to
repeal the hurried with¬ drawal of UN forces that precipitated the Six-Day War.
McGovern said he sup¬ ported a .role for the Palestinian refugees in direct^ negotiations between

By Walter Plotch (Walter Ploich Is diKtctor of the     Anti-Detaination League's national education department.)
There are forty-seven schools in the Springfield, Mass. public school system, including four high schools and sev^n  junior  highs.
Student populatipn totals .so(pp,35,000; facility, 14,000. -Like other school systems in the nation, this one suffered from interracial and ethnic tensions. Two years ago there was a student riot in one of the high schools.
The Springfield School Department, and a con- cemed citizenry, decided to do  something   about   its
problems - to reverse, if possible, a serioUp and threatening tretidv diie of the things needed' was an in- service training program for teachers, supervisors and administrators - to provide them with skills for resolving social conflict, insight into their own attitudes toward racial, ethnic and econoniic class differences, experience
in working cooperatively with diverse student, parent and community groups, and better ability to design curricula which would foster respect for personal dif¬ ferences in the classroom and cdmmunity.
Through the long association, of ADL's New England regional office, directed by Sol Kolack, with
Massachusetts schoolSi the Anti-Defamation League Nvas awarded the contract as consultants in building a program and training school personnel until they could take over for themselves. The League, said School Superintendent John E. Deady, "bias the experience, resources and demonstrated ability" for the task. ADL's
