WASHINGTON, July 27 (JTA) - David M. Blum-
berg, president of B'nai B'rith, and Lawrence Peirez,
chairman of its personnel policy committee, have
disclaimed the contents of a news story published last
Thursday in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency Daily
. News Bulletin reporting that the organization would
"take strict disciplinary action" against any member
of its staff who takes a public position in opposition to
- organizational policy.
The JTA received the statement regarding
disciplinary action in a news release on an official .
B'nai B'rith letterhead and printed it as received
without any changes. The news release was received in
the mail postmarked Washington, D.C, the
headquarters of B'nai B'rith. "2
Blumberg said that the news release was fraudulent.
"No such information was prepared or. circulated by
anyone in B'nai B'rith authorized to do so. The contents
of the fake release are falsehoods and distortions," he
said. Peirez said that quoted statements attributed to
him in the news release were "unauthorized, false and
do not represent my views."    .
NEW YORK (JTA) — The Federation of Protestant
Welfare Agencies has added its voice to the mounting
chorus of protest against a move by the Soviet Union to
tax charity dollars sent from abroad to Jews and
others in the USSR, it was reported by the Greater New
York Conference on Soviet Jewry, The drive against
the tax, undertaken by the Conference; is aimed at
eliminating the levy which will withhold a tax of 30
percent from all charity money sent to Soviet citizens.
This comes on top of an existing charge of 35 percent,
-thus leaving only 35 cents of each dollar for the aid
recipients. In a wire to the Conference, Joyce Phillips
Austin, executive" director of the Federation of
Protestant Welfare Agencies, said her agency "en¬
dorses the Conference's appeal to obtain equitable
treatment for Soviet Jews deprived of full use of funds
sent into the Soviet Union for charitable purposes,,We
*Jsupport your (the Conference's) efforts to have the
recent additional tax of 30 percent on such funds
rescinded."
TEL AVIV (JTA) -
Foreign Minister Yigal Allon
said July 29 that if the Arabs
and their allies succeed in
having Israel expelled from
the United Nations. — a
possibility that is far from
certain they can achieve —
he would propose to the
government that all UN
activities in Israel and in all
areas, concerning Israel,
should be suspended. He said
this would include the rote of
the UN at Geneva, the
•■ United Nations Relief and
Works Agency (UNRWA),
all UN activities in the ad¬
ministered territories and
~. the presence of the UN High
Commissioners House in
Jerusalem. A move to oust
Israel from the UN should
concern Israel's neighbors
and the Soviet Union, Allon
declared in a television
interview. He said the USSR
cannot expect that Israel
■ would agree to its playing
any part in the Geneva peace
- confereinc^' or any other
arena ;i£ it is not openly
against the exclusion of
Israel from the UN. Ac¬
cording to Allon, although
the Russians loudly support
the Arab ouster move in
. their Arabic propaganda,
they have privately ex-2
pressed a negative attitude
toward the Arab-sponsored
move against Israel in the
world organization.
Allon said that although
the Arabs and their Com¬
munist bloc and Third World
allies command the
preponderance of votes in
the General Assembly, their
ouster moves are far; from
assured of success. He noted
that Israel has potent
counterweapons against
such a move. He referred to
Israel's success in arousing
international opinion against
UNESCO's moves to exclude
Israel and said that proved
that Israel can rally in¬
ternational movements
against such attempts. He
disclosed that Israel has
approached friendly nations
and Third World nations
with which it has con¬
nections and was given
assurances, some in the
form of official com¬
muniques from govern¬
ments, that they would act
; against any attempt to ex¬
clude Israel Irom the UN.
(In Washington, the State
Department reaffirmed that
the U.S. would be angered if
the Organization for African
Unity (OAU) adopted a
resolution for Israel's ex¬
pulsion from ttye UN at its

If the world wants to deal
effectively with terrorists, it
will first have to understand
"the psychodynamics of
terrorism,'.' Dr. Abraham
Kaplan of Haifa University
told a Sabbath evening
crowd last week at the Ohio
State University Hillel
Foundation,
Kaplan, a philosopher who
has gained attention for his
part in creating Synanon, the
group therapy organization
for drug addicts, and for his
teaching at UCLA, told the
audience of about 50 persons
that in addition to a set of
political demands and goals,
other, less apparent
motivations may also be
operating in the minds of
terrorists. Knowing about
these motivations, Kaplan
said, should lead authorities
to adopt specific ways to
combat terrorism and react
to it when an incident occurs. •
The first  factor   is  an
"atmosphere in the world" -
that encourages the terrorist
to believe that some goals
■are absolute, arid thus,
anything Justifies the means,
Kaplan said.
"The  linkage  between
means and ends has been
broken apart," Kaplan
noted, because many people
try so hard to "accept and
< understand" a terrorist act.
Realizing this factor in
terrorism, authorities should

mete out "swift and sure
punishment", making a firm
statement that no one must
be allowed to use unjust
methods to attain even just
goals, according to Kaplan.
Those who want to stop
terrorist acts should also
understand that they may be
"attempts by the terrorist to
cope with a blow to self-
esteem," Kaplan explained.
He stressed that dealing with
a terrorist on the basis of this .
factor does not necessarily
mean .giving into all his
demands in an effort to
bolster his self-esteem.
"Being given something
does not increase self-
esteem, but taking it does,"
Kaplan said. Instead,
movies, literature, and the
• mass media should refrain
from glamorizirig people
who use Violence, according
to Kaplan.
He also stressed his belief
that when governments
negotiate with terrorists,
they should never send top
officials to the scene. In¬
stead, Kaplan suggested,

proposals represented
Cairo's last word. He said
Israel sincerely wanted an
interim agreement and he
believed a chance should be
given for another step.
Every possible way must be
explored and if, regretfully,

stay with Mrs. Stavsky in
Jerusalem. The. Beth Jacob
Rabbi was selected to give a
keynote address at the

Friday evening, July 18.
Rabbi Stavsky addressed
wo hundred delegates of the,
American Mizrachi
Organization who came to
Jerusalem for a solidarity
conference. Also, in at¬
tendance was a strong
, delegation of the Rabbi's
colleagues of the Rabbinical
..Council' of America. The
subject of the Rabbi's talk
• was "Redemption and
Comfort". In his message
■ the Rabbi spoke of Jewish
identity with the Holy Land
of Israel. The Rabbi said in
part, "This past Wednesday
night we gathered with
hundreds of thousands of
Jews at the Kotel, the Holy
Wall in Jerusalem to mourn
for the destruction of the
Holy Temple vand the
tragedies • which have
overtaken the House of
Israel for the past two
thousand years.
"We remove our shoes on
Tisha B'Av and go barefoot.
Why? Only to remove the
signs and symbols of luxury

in the same sense that G-D
told Moshe, 'You want to
reaffirm your identity? You
want to be part of Jewish
destiny? Then only oneway.
