PARIS, (JTA) — Dr.
Nahum Goldmann,
president of the World
Jewish Congress, sharply
criticized the Israeli
government for its handling
of the Palestinian issue,
characterized the policies of
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger as both "inef¬
ficient and inadequate" ahd
also declared, in an in¬
terview published Jan. 8 in
Le.- Monde, that the only
possible solution to the
Middle Bast is one that is
supported by both super¬
powers and must be found
rapidly if catastrophe is to
be avoided. Dr. -Goldmann
also suggested that the
participation of the
Palestine Liberation
Organization in the Geneva
peace conference .would
imply its recognition of
Israel's right to exist. A WJC
spokesman here said that
Dr. Goldmann was ex¬
pressing his views as an
individual  and was  not
speaking for the WJC.
The WJC leader, whose
views frequently have been
in conflict with Israeli
government policies,
criticized that government
for wanting to "dictate their
desires in an affairs which
concerns first of all the
Palestinians." He advocated
that Israel evacuate the
West Bank and put it at the
disposal of the United
Nations     which     would
organize! a plebiscite among
the population to determine
whether they /want to be an
Independent state or to
remain part of Jordan. Dr.
Goldmann said he fully
supported the Israeli
government's refusal to
negotiate with the PLO, "an
organization whose strategic
goal is to destroy the State of
Israel and which uses
terrorist methods." But, he
added, if the PLO were to be
inylted to the Geneva con¬
ference on the basis of
Security Council Resolution
242 "which recognizes
Israel's right to exist within
secure and established
borders," and if the PLO
agreed to attend under these
circumstances, their at¬
tendance would represent de
facto recognition by the PLO
and negotiations could begin
in view of a compromise. Dr. .

Political Scientist Warns 'Fallacious'
Policy Could Lead To New Mideast War
.By Yitzhak Rabi
NEW YORK, (JTA) —
Prof. Hans J. Morgenthau
warned fjthat the United
States was following a
"fallacious" policy in the
Middle East of wooing the
Arabs at Israel's expense
which could lead to a new

Raanana Fund Raising
Event Takes Place Jan. 26
Plans have been finalized
for Raanana's annual fund •
raising-event. This year it is
to be a KOSHER
KAFETERIA, so announced
the Chairmen, Fanny ,
Schulte, (Mrs. Robert) and
Gloria Brody, (Mrs. Nor¬
man).    v
-- The fund raising event is to
take place on January 26th,
4-7 p.m., at Congregation
, Ahavas Sholom, 2568 E.
Broad Street.
Families and friends of the
Columbus Jewish Com¬
munity are cordially invited
to attend.
There will also be boutique
Items for sale, as well as
Raanana's own "Carnival of
Cookery" cookbook.
Changes for a $125.00 food
gift certificate from Mar¬
tin's will be available, as
well as a bake sale.
The work v of the
organization is based on the'
belief that the spiritual
rehablT Ration of children
under) .wing is of the ut¬
most fit Stance. Tjie many
institutions sponsored by the
American Mizrachi Women,
therefore, conduct their
activities in an atmosphere
of traditional Judaism.
These institutions are
dynamic in character
shaping the services they
provide to the changing
needs of Israel's new-comers
and youth.
Among the better-known
institutions sponsored by the
American Mizrachi Women
are: The Bessie Gotsfeld
Children's Village and Farm
School, Kfar Batya, located
.In Raanana,.Israel; Mosad
Aliyah Children's Village at
Petach Tikvah; The Beth
Zeiroth Mizrachi, Tel Aviv,
also in Jerusalem; the
Beersheva Vocational High
School,, the Beth Hanoar
(YouthHouse); and the Beth
Hayeled Sleep-in Nursery;
also the Bakka Settlement
Houses, as well as the Haifa
Community Center. There
are 8,000 children and adults
that are helped by the
American Mizrachi Women.
quality of applicants as the
major consideration in
campus employment under
the "affirmative action"
program has again divided
Jewish leaders within the
civil rights movement itself.
Peter E. Holmes, director
of the Office for Civil Rights
of the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, in
releasing the 3500-word
memorandum said that it.
'.'reiterates the principle that
colleges and universities are
entitled to select the most'
qualified candidate, without
regard to race, sex or
ethnicity, for any position"
and that "further, it makes
clear that colleges and
universities, not the Federal
Government, determine
what constitutes
qualification for any par¬
ticular position."
Denouncing the HEW
action of Dec. 12 as "a real
blow to hiring and promotion
of Blacks, browns and
women," Joseph Rauh Jr.,
counselor for the Leadership
Conference on Civil Rights,
blamed it on three Jewish
organizations and .two of
their Washington
representatives whom he
characterized as "the
leading lobbyists -against
meaningful affirmative
action.'* .Jewish
organizations * generally
'.oppose quotas but strongly
support programs that help
open opportunities , to
minorities and women in
every field. Rauh
specifically named the
American Jewish Com¬
mittee and its Washington
representative, Hyman
Bookbinder; the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith and its Washington
office director, David
Brody; and the American
Jewish Congress. They are
all identified with the
Leadership Conference
which is representing a
coalition of 135 national
organizations of Blacks,
whites, Catholics,
Protestants, Jews, labor,
busine&and the professions.
"It's a sad day when the
organized Jewish com-*
munity wins a fight against
Blacks, browns and
women," Rauh told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
"Unfortunately that's what
happened at HEW." Rauh
agreed that "Nobody should
be hired who is not
qualified." Rauh, who is
Jewish and has spoken out in
the past against Jewish
organization' activity in the
civil, rights Held, declared:
"Once Jews were leading
fighters for civil rights. Just
to talk about affirmative
action Is nothing. You must
. measure them against some
form of goals. Affirmative
action wlthoijft
measurements isn't wortlV a
tinker's dam."

officials here declined at

war. The political scientist,
who is chairman of the.
National Committee on
American Foreign Policy,
said he supported Secretary
of State Henry A-. Kissinger's
recent warning that the U.S.
would not rule out force to
secure Middle East^oil
sources but said that this in
itself was' an intimation that
Kissinger's policies have
failed. Addressing a press
conference Jan. 8, called by
the Committee, Morgenthau
said America's alternative
in the Middle East is "to
stand pat and make Israel as
strong as possible," even
though that course might
lead to a new Arab - Israeli
war and a- confrontation
between the  two  super¬
powers. But the Rabat
conference and Yasir
Arafat's United Nations
speech "have left no doubt
that the Arabs want Israel to '
disappear" and all that .
remains is "negotiations on
the modality of Israel's
funeral," he said. Rabat, he
said, made the success of
Kissinger's mediation "if not
impossible" at least "a
question mark."    -
Morgenthau and another
member .of the National
Committee, Prof. Uri Ranan
of the Fletcher School of Law
and Diplomacy at Tufts
University, agreed that the
American attempt to win the
' Arabs away from the Soviet
Union  has  failed.   Ranan
