(R.   N.Y.)   urging  Congress   to  insist  on   "firm
guarantees foreseeing free emigration of Jews from

MIAMI BEACH (WNS)-Qrthodox rabbis/meeting
here in the 38th annual convention of the Rabbinical
! Council of America have admitted that they have
I failed- to capture the imagination of young Jewish
intellectuals for Orthodox Judaism. Rabbi Fabian
i Schohfeld, the RCA's newly>elected president, said
-Jewish "youth...are pursuing "all sorts of new
ideologies" because Orthodoxy has failed to develop,
and transmit new methods that would underscore
Jewish principles for them. Earlier he had announced
the creation of a committee of scholars and rabbis to
formulate a course of action to arrest the rising in-
•§ cidence of mixed marriages and alienation of Jewish
Sj youth from Judaism. Rabbi Schorifeid said the corn¬
el mittee would study in depth "why young students tend
& to abandon traditional Judaism in the realm of
» marriage and other social areas."

Both Houses Expected To Adopt Legislation
Giving Veto Power Over Nuclear Agreements
By Joseph Polakoff.
WASHINGTON, (JTA)-
'Legislation to give Congress
veto authority over U.S.
government agreements to
deliver nuclear reactors to
foreign countries is expected
to be adopted by both Houses.
in the wake of provisional
contracts signed on June 26
with Egypt and Israel. The
voting is not expected until
after the Congress returns
July 9 froth a fourth of July
recess. The legislation,
signed by all 18 members of
the Joint Congressional
Committee    oil    Atomic
Energy, has strong bi¬
partisan backing. It was
introduced by the com¬
mittee's chairman. Rep.,
Melvin Price (D. Dli) and its
vice-chairman, Sen. John
Pastore (D.R.I.). At present
an agreement must be
submitted to the committee
which would allow the ■
agreement to become valid
by the committee's not
taking action within 30 days
after receiving it. It is not
mandatory for the: Joint
Committee to present it to
the full Congress. The new.
legislation provides that the
Administration provide the
agreements .to the com¬
mittee which would have 30
legislative days to review it
and then submit it, whether
with approval or not, to the
Congress for review during
the ensuring 30 legislative
days. "The committee has
been concerned' over loose
ends in the present
legislation," a committee
aide • told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency. "The
new provisions give
Congress a clear-cut
mechanism to review all
agreements—civil and
mUitary."
Meanwhile the  Atomic
Energy Commission in¬
formed the JTA that its
agreements with Egypt .and
Israel are not identical.
-Among the differences, a
spokesman said, was that
deliveries of nuclear fuel
would begin to Egypt in
February 1980 and to Israel
11 months later, in January
1981. Both contracts call for'
payment  of  $39   million
^spread over ten years. Egypt
made a down payment of
$660,000 and Israel $726,000.
Both checks were on the
Morgan Trust Co. New York.

NICRAC Endorses Affirmative Action If
There Is Ho Reverse Discrimination
DETROIT (W-NS)--The
National Jewish Community
Relations Advisory Council
has gone on record as en¬
dorsing "affirmative action
policies" that increase
educational and em¬
ployment opportunities
without imposing "reverse
discrimination." The 250
delegates at the NJCRAC's
annual plenary meeting
urged that special provisions
for compensatory education,
job training and placement
and other forms of help for
the deprived. But the
NJCRAC stressed that the
sole criteria for eligibility
must be individual need and
not "preferentially" on a
racial, ethnic or other group
basis. Benjamin R. Epstein,
director of the B'nai B'rith
Anti-Defamation League,
said the ADL and other
national Jewish agencies
were ready to join with
Black and Chicano groups in
support of affirmative'action
programs "that can push the
disadvantaged   ahead

AMERICAN NEWS REPORT
Reports Group Therapy Effective For Single Mothers
byBenGallob
(Copyright 1974; JTA. be.)
'■ 1 . ',.'■'■'■'•'■■.'''
The response of the
Jewish Family Service in
Philadelphia to the national
phenomenon of a steadily
growing number of Jewish'
-single parents, most of them
women,   has   been   the
k development since 1969 of 13
single mothers' treatment
groups in the agency's four
district offices.
The decision to emphasize
treatment through the group
process, rather than by
individual counseling, has
emerged from evidence at
the agency that such
treatment has had sub¬
stantial success in helping
such women to cope with the
myriad problems of their
new status. As Elizabeth
Geggel and Ruth L. Sch¬
wartz of the agency put it,
"the successes we have seen
1 convince us that for most
single    mothers    group
' tr ea t me n t    through
J education, support,  con-
frontation and experience is
the treatment of choice."
Suddenly 'removed from
the security and status of
wife and homemaker,
usually either by/ desertion
or divorce, such women
come to the agency
"overwhelmed by feelings of
isolation and loneliness,
sexual frustration,
hopelessness, anxiety, fear,
inadequacy; guilt, failure
and immobilizing anger,"
the agency caseworkers
reported in the current issue
of the Journal of Jewish
Communal Service.
Remarking that such
women are "no less
achievement - oriented than
men," the two experts
declared that for many, the
; dissolution of their marriage
represents "failure as ,a
wife" and that many "doubt
their ability to achieve
success as a mother." In
some, a guilt feeling
develops which of ten leads to
"over - compensation
behavior in relation to their
children." Many are: lagued
