Protter, who fought for Israel in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, said he had a grievance against the Israeli government. RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO By Ben Gallob NEW YORK (JTA) - Jews in the professional, managerial and . technical fields have been hara mt Dy layoffs in recent months in four major urban centers — New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami — but much less affected by recession firings in 11 other cities surveyed by the Jewish Occupational Council last month. Mr. Louis A. Bernhard, president of the JOC;- the coordinating agency for Jewish job agencies in the United States and Canada, said the survey was carried out by telephone to affiliates during the week of April 14. The findings were in line with the em¬ ployment distribution of American Jews. Jews were reported less affected by layoffs in cities where heavy industry predominates and more hit in cities with many service enterprises. In virtually all of the reporting cities, recent Jewish college graduates with no ex¬ perience are generally unable to find jobs, ac¬ cording to Henry B. Stern, JOC executive director. In ADL Charges Florida Firm Cooperates With Arab Discrimination Policies MIAMI (JTA) - The Florida regional office of the Anti - Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has charged that a Florida company with construction interests in the Middle East is cooperating with Arab discrimination - policies in its recruitment of employees. ADL regional board chairman George Bernstein' announced at a press conference here that the ADL- will file a formal charge of discrimination in employment against McGraw & Associates of Ormond Beach, Fla. Bern¬ stein said McGraw & Associates placed an ad¬ vertisement in a Florida newspaper for "immediate job opportunities in (the) Middle East" on a $70 million project. The ad¬ vertisement warned «potential applicants: "We trust that you are aware of the discrimination policies of the Arab ' world before replying to this ad." Some Arab countries bar Jews from entry and the ad¬ vertisement clearly is in response to this policy, Bernstein said. Arthur ' Teitelbaum, ADL's southern area director, said the ad¬ vertisement., is a "blatant and shocking violation of federal law, specifically provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.". Describing the' ad as a "shameful capitulation by an American company to the discriminatory policies of the Arab states," he said such employment practices are a threat to every American worker's right to be employed without regard to religious beliefs. Teitelbaum said ADL is now in the process of preparing its complaint, which will be filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Bernstein stated, "we cannot tolerate efforts by Arab governments to encourage and procure American firms to violate the laws of the United States. This represents a totally unacceptable intereference by foreign governments which subvert the rights of American citizens and our system of justice." Author Relates Holocaust To Present World Events By Bob Tenenbaum Chronicle Special Reporter A senior Israeli diplomat, author of a new book relating the Nazi holocaust to present - day world events, believes it is the obligation of Jews throughout the world to convince the nations of the free world that Arab anti- Zionism is in fact the same kind of anti-Semitism that led to the_slaughter of six million Jews 30 years ago. Dr. Aba Gefen, director of the cultural .and scientific relations division of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is in the United States to discuss the current Middle East situation with civic, religious, govern¬ mental and educational leaders, His book, "Unholy Alliance," will be published in the United States later this month. In an interview with the Chronicle,' Dr. Gefen said the Dr. Aba Gefen purpose of his book is "not to agonize on the bitter past, but to make sure that the world doesn't repeat the same mistakes and let it happen again." "Tragically," he said, "even the holocaust of World War II did not put an end to. anti-Semitism. But, since that word is no longer ac¬ ceptable, our enemies have (CONTINUED ON PAGE H) New York City, home of two million Jews, the Federation Guid¬ ance and Employment Service reported a growing problem in handling job applicants in the professional - managerial - technical fields. The FEGS 'file of job seekers in those categories has jumped from 1000 to • nearly 2000. The McGovern States Concessions Necessary For Lasting Peace by Bob Tenenbaum Chronicle Special Reporter U.S. Sen. George S. McGovern (D.—S.D.) says major concessions on the part'of the Israeli govern¬ ment and an Arab guarantee of permanent security for Israel are necessary if there is to be any hope of a lasting peace in the Middle East. McGovern, who recently returned from a tour of the area,; fold' the Chroriiclelne" situation is "as close to hopeless as it can be — but it is not completely hopeless." McGovern's proposal to bring about a lasting set' tlement calls for: —Israeli withdrawal from occupied territory back to within its 1967 borders. —Israeli recognition of an independent Palestinian state. —Arab agreement to guarantee the permanent safety of Israel as an in¬ dependent nation. The 1972 Democratic Presidential nominee said that in his talks with Israeli, Arab and Palestinian leaders he had come to "understand henry Kissinger's frustration in trying' to bring about a settlement." "Fortunately, there are some leaders on all sides who are reasonable," McGovern said. "They may be in the minority, but their numbers are growing." "The fact that Israel and "Egypt have talked to each other — even if through intermediaries indicates they are at least aware of each other's presence," McGovern said: | . "But the simple fact is that the Arabs will never accept the present boundaries, which they consider the boundaries of conquest," he said. "And if the Arabs want Israel to give up even one inch of territory, they must recognize Israel as a per¬ manent presence in the Middle East and act ac¬ cordingly." McGovern, who was criticized by many in the American Jewish com¬ munity for meeting with Palestinian leaders, said he believes the three million Palestinians living in the area "want some legitimacy, and they are as entitled to it as much as the IsraeHs." McGovern said he would not oppose the use of U.S. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3) FEGS said that, in seeking to develop openings for such job hunters, it is sending promotional - bulletins regularly to 1000 social agencies and to 2000 business firms, in addition to an in- tensive telephone solicitation effort. Ap¬ plicants with experience who were formerly resistant to leaving the New York area are now more amenable to re-locating, the agency said. The FEGS said job openings for new college graduates in social agencies, previously available to graduates without a Masters degree, have, disappeared as a result of layoffs and tightening personnel programs of the city and the state. In sum¬ mary, the FEGS reported, the general job picture in New York City is not bright because of changes in the garment, industry and contractions in printing, construction and govern¬ ment. The Chicago Jewish Vocational Service (CONTINUED ON PAOL lb The World's Week WASHINGTON (WNS) - Sen. Charles Percy (R. Ill) has urged "face-to-face negotiations" between Israel and the Arabs in a 91-page report to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Percy, who recently completed a 23-day, 12-nation tour of the Middle East, warned his fellow committee members that a "very real danger exists" of a fifth Arab • Israeli war this year unless "significant negotiating progress is made in the near future." Percy also urged that "efforts for a pre- Geneva arrangement — either partial or total — be accelerated'and pursued on an urgent basis" because the "suspension" of the step-by-step negotiations conducted by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger "raises the specter of further stalemate at Geneva." MONTREAL (WNS) - A report that several members of the Palestine Liberation Organization have visited the site of the 1976 Olympic games here has brought about a change in security measures, Normand Toupin, assistant director of the Mon¬ treal Police Force, told newsmen. He asked them to refrain from leaking information on security measures. "We have learned enough from the Munich tragedy so that under no circumstances will that kind of thing be repeated_here," he said. Eleven Israeli athletes were murdered in an Arab terrorist attack during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. WASHINGTON (WNS) - The style of Sabbath and holiday services among American Jewish college students is being changed by the feminist movement, according to a report by the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations. A Hillel survey found that it is not un¬ common for women to be counted as part of the mihyan in campus services, serve as cantor, read from the Torah or chant the Haftorah. Jewish coeds at Brown and Boston Universities exclude males from their all-feminine Sabbath services which follows the Orthodox ritual. A Haggadah rewritten to cite the role of women in the Exodus was used by 75 University of Pennsylvania coeds for their women • only seder. Members of Hillel's national commission, at their annual meeting here, agreed that the use of Hillel facilities for such departures from custom was ap¬ propriate. I
