JERUSALEM (WNS) — The apathy of the majority
of Jewish youth abroad to Israel and their own
Jewishness was revealed during the Yom Kippur War,
according to Mordechai Bar-On, head of the World
Zionist Organization's Youth and Halutz Department.
But he said it heightened the feeling of identity of the
minority which had previously identified with Israel
and their Jewishness and also heightened the hostility
of another minority which has been hostile to Israel
and Zionism.
NEW YORK (WNS) — The 90th anniversary of the
.United Hias Service was celebrated with a pledge by
the organization to continue its work of hwlping Jews'
immigrate and resettle. So far the organization has"'
aided some 4 million people. Noting that Jewish history,'. '
is a history qf migration, Hias president Carl Glick 1
declared: "We know the future will bring thousands of
refugees from countries known and yet ynknoyfh. As
long as Jews have a need to move, Hias will be there tb
hlep them nigrate to freedom." Hias was founded to
aid Jews fleeing from Czarist Russia and Gaynor I.
Jacobson, executive vice-president, noted that
"Ironically, as in our beginning, the largest number of
assisted this year (1973) came from Eastern Europe."
JERUSALEM (WNS)'- Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren
has denounced the National Religious Party for failing
to heed his injunction against joining the Labor-led
coalition. Rabbi Goren told the 300 delegates from 30
countries attending the fourth annual Bnei Akiva
convention that the NRP gravely injured the prestige,
authority and status of the Chief Rabbinate by entering
a\government that refuses to amend the La w of Return
so as to invalidate conversions by non-Orthodox
rabbis. "Hie delegates to the Orthodox youth'
movement's meeting jeered NRP leader Yosef Burg,
who will be Minister of Interior in the new government,
when he took his place on the dias. Burg had earlier
told newsmen that the new coalition agreement was
better than any of its predecessors and included
religious and moral achievements. He said the other
political parties had recognized that conversion was an
halachic concept. >,
Universities' Double Standards Of Admission
Over Race In Question In Civil Rights Case

WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
May a public university,
even when faced with in¬
tense social problems,
establish two standards of
admission - one for white
students and another, at a
lower level of qualifications,
for  non-whites?   The   U S
Supreme Court now has a

after March 18 but not later
than June 30, is certain to
have nationwide reper¬

Kissinger Says End Of Embargo Will Not
Affect U.S. Policy; Political Scientist
Accuses U.S. Of "Two-Faced" Diplomacy
WASHINGTON, (JTA) —.
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger declared on March.
14 that the lifting by Arab oil
producing nations of their
embargo against the United
States will not affect
American diplomatic efforts
to settle the Middle East
conflict. "We have to move
at the pace that seems to us
suitable for a settlement,"
Kissinger told newsmen at a
surprise news conference.
''That cannot be affected by
it" (the embargo lifting). He
made the comments after he
was asked by newsmen
about the reports that Arab
leaders at their meeting in
Tripoli, Libya March 13 had
favored lifting the embargo.
"I have no official report or
official notification,"
Kissinger said. "I have the
same! conflicting reports you
have had. Your speculation
. is as good as Mne.,?
Meanwhile, Kissinger met
with Israeli Foreign
Minister , Abba  Eban on
March 15. The two had lunch
in the Secretary's office in
the State Department.
State Department
spokesman George Vest took
the unusual step March 14 of
announcing that Eban was to
dine with Israeli Am¬
bassador Simcha Dinitz. The
State Department seldom
discusses publicly events
. held in a foreign embassy to
which the U.S. is hot for¬
mally a party. Vest said that
the Eban-Kissinger talks
could be looked upon as a
preliminary discussion and a
prelude to the arrival of a
.special Israel emissary for
discussions on Syrian-Israeli
disengagement. Vest did hot
say when the Israeli or the
Syrian representatives
might be here but they are
expected before March 24

days.-     ;
JERUSALEM, (JTS) - A
prominent American
political   scientist   accused

Kissinger of two-faced
diplomacy and warned here

unqualified support for
Israel to one increasingly
aimed at regaining its in¬
fluence in the Arab World.
