WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Rep. Louis Stokes (D.O.),
one of the 13 Black members
of tRe House, assailed the
Federal Communications
Commission this week for
ruling that a radio' station
and a television station in
Atlanta would violate the
Federal     Communications
' Act if they refused to tran¬
smit "White supremacist
advertisements" and "anti-
Semitic tripe" by J. B.^
Stoner, a candidate for US
Senator in the Democratic
primary in Georgia. Stoner
.finished fifth with 5 percent
of the votes. In 1948 he
campaigned on a platform of
death for those practicing
Judaism.
Television station WSB
and radio station WPLO
broadcast paid ad¬
vertisements asking
Georgians to vote for "White
racist J. B. Stoner" in the
primary. Mayor Sam
Massell, the Anti-
'Defamation League of B'nai
- B'rith and- the National
Association for the Ad¬
vancement of Colored
People all protested the paid
advertisements on the two
stations. A three-man FCC
panel refused on Aug. 3 to
allow the two stations to
reject the advertisements.
The Atlanta branch of the
NAACP had asked the FCC
to inform the two stations
they would not violate
Section 315 of the Com'
munications Act of 1934 by
refusing to air the ad-
vertiserrients. Stoner is an
Atlanta attorney who has a .
long association with anti-
Negro and anti-Jewish'
causes.
In a statement to the JTA,
Stokes said that "while I
fully agree that the principle
of free speech demands the
strongest enforcement in a
democratic, society, I sup¬
port the Supreme Court
dictum that the liberty does
not extend to yelling 'fire' in
a crowded theater." He
contended that Stoner,
"freely airing his racist and
anti-Semitic tripe over the
media,.was yelling 'fire' in
the overcrowded arena of
prejudice and race hatred.
Our violent' past has been a :
witness to the fact that words
like Stoner's arc highly in-

Israel As Political Football: Says Jews Concerned
With Need For Change And All Important Issues
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The newly appointed staff
director of the Jewish Af¬
fairs Committee of the
McGovern - for - President
campaign said this week that;'
the committee's effort to win
Jewish votes for Sen. George
McGovern (D.S.D.) would be
based on appeals to the
traditional Jewish liberal,
approach to the need for
change, which he said still
exists in this; .country.
• Richard M. Cohen of New
York, associate executive
director of- the American
Jewish Congress, stressed in
an interview that the Jewish
Affairs Committee would not
have differing approaches
for various groups of
prospective Jewish voters,
whether they were inner,
city, suburban, Orthodox,
Conservative or^Reform.'
The premise of the campaign
would be, he said,'" that all
Jews are concerned with the
need^ for "positive,
productive and progressive
change.''.Cohen' stressed
that he was on leave.without
pay from the AJCpngress
and that he had accepted
McGovern's offer ofa staff
post as an individual, and not
as a representative of the'
AJCongress.
He declared that "this
country sorely needs change
and Sen. McGovern
represents the man who can
bring about such change."
He said that the majority of
American Jews would not
cast their votes solely on
Jewish issues. He said
American Jews "are con-
" cerned with issues of interest
to all Americans, as well as
those of specific Jewish
interest." He cited crime in
the streets, the quota versus
the merit system, Israel and
Soviet Jewry as among
major issues of concern to
American Jews. He added
that McGovern "will shortly
issue a statement con¬
demning any kind of quota
system that discriminates on
the basis'of religion, race or
ethnic origin."
Cohen also said that "we in
the McGovern campaign-
deplore the action of
Republican forces, making.
Israel a political football in
the 1972 campaign." "Since
-the founding of Israel in
1948," lie added, ."our
country's commitment to the
survival and security of the
Jewish State has been en¬
dorsed by both political
parties and ratified by the
American people. We believe
it is a disservice to the
American political system,
to United States foreign
policy and to Israel to turn a
bipartisan issue into a
political one."
"Crisis In Marriage?" To Be
Beth Jacob 14th REW Theme
Beth Jacob Synagogue has
announced plans for Its
Fourteenth Annual Religious
Emphasis Week program
between Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur. This, out¬
standing event'which is'held
each year gives members of
the Congregation and
Columbus Jewish Com¬
munity an .opportunity to
hear and meet nationally
and internationally known
scholars and ' rabbis to
discuss topics of great
religious value and concern.
Irvin Flox, Adult
Education    Institute
Chairman of Beth Jacob
Congregation, has selected
the theme for this year as
"Crisis in Marriage?" Many
religious leaders and con¬
temporary sociologists feel
that the issue of "Crisis in
Marriage" stands as one of
the foremost problems
facing the Jewish home of
today.. Such' questions as
"The future of the marriage
institution in America,';
"The high rate of divorce,"
the problems of "Fidelity,
Permissiveness" "The Drop
Out  Husband"   and   "The

Culminating the. research
of a two year Task Force on
Jewish Identity, reflecting
discussions in cities across
the continent, the Assembly
meeting in Pittsburgh last
fall of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare

mendations that .called for
creative innovations that
will encourage American
Jewry to enhance the quality
of Jewish life.
Thus the Institute For
Jewish Life came into being
and Dr. Jick chosen as its
first Director. His ap¬
pearance in Columbus for
'the Annual Meeting of the
UJFC will be one of only a

WASHINGTON (WNS) — A Senate-House con-.
ferenceon the Defense Procurement Act has approved
the extension of military sales credits tb Israel for a 15- •
month period beginning Oct; 1. The measure,.proposed
by Sen. Henry M. Japkson (D. Wash.) calls for
"unlimited" credit, but a Jackson aide said that "in
practical terms" it guarantees authorization of up to
$300 million in aid. The provision is expected-to be
approved without difficulty in both Houses of Congress:
MEXICO CITY (WNS) —A delegation representing
the Central Jewish Committee and the Mexican Zionist
Federation met with the First Secretary of the'British
Embassy to protest the projected opening of a
Palestinian Information Office in London.
(In Johannesburg, a joing delegation of the South
African Jewish Board of Deouties and the South
African Zionist Federation protested to the British
Ambassador that "the activities of such an office will
only serve to promote and incite.further wanton acts of
murder, terrorism and hijacking against innocent
men, wom.en and children of all nationalities and
religious persuasion, not only in Israel but in many
other countries, and on aircraft.")
JERUSALEM (WNS) — As quiet continued along
Israel's border on the second anniversary of the Middle
East cease-fire, Foreign Minister Abba Eban told
foreign newsmen that Israel had no reason "to doubt
the prudence and efficacy" of its decision to "respond
alternatively" to the U.S. initiative which led to the
cease-fire. Eban also stated that both Israel and the
U.S. had "expressed mutual satisfaction" over.the
ouster of Soviet military advisors from Egypt. He also
said he could see no reason for a change in U.S. Middle
East policy after the Presidential elections stating
there was no reason why "something that is going
well" would be changed "just because of a date on the
calendar."
