NEW YORK — 'flie models held up for emulation to Jewish young people cannot be Bellows, Oppenheimer, Bernstein or Heifetz a leading psychologist told delegates attending the 17th annual convention of the National Association of Hebrew

Day School PTA's.

Prominent Former Jews Are Named

NEW YORK — Listing a number of prominent Jews who have converted to Christianity, R a b b ! Robert Gordis has called att e n t i o n to what he calls “a phen o m e - non virtually neglected i n Gordis Jewish circles.” Among those he named are Robert Moses, Calvin Gross, who recently was deposed as New York’s superintendent of schools, Mortimer Caplan, former Director of Internal Revenue, Professor David Noel Freedman, of the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Samuel B. Gould, chancellor of the University of the State of New York, and the father of Barry Goldwater. Rabbi Gordis said the list could be extended almost indefinitely. He added that it would include many youngsters on the college level and beyond who never attain to significant fame or importance.

Fight On Over Funds For Schools NEW YORK — An intramural fight had already developed not over tlie advisability of federal aid to Jewish schools, but who will supervise the allocation of federal funds within the Jewish community. In an obvious reference to the Americaa Association for Jewish Education, the National Society for Hebrew Day Schools asserted that it is the only authoritative spokesman in behalf of day schools. It declared as “totally unwarranted efforts on the part of other Jewish educational bodies, which have opposed federal aid, from assuming the prerogative of being representative of the Day School movement an the matter of federal aid. . .**

while Oppenheimer is the wellknown physicist and Bernstein and Heifetz are noted mu-

sicians.

DELEGATES WERE urged by Dr. Jacob Halberstam, Chief of Psychological Services, Goldwater Memorial Hospital, to provide a truthful galaxy of heroes to their children. “If we are to be honest with our children as we must, then the galaxy of heroes we present to our children must portray that honesty. We want our children to be great Jews spir-

itually and intellectually, then the models we hold up to motivate them cannot be Bellows, Oppenheimer or Heifetz” de-

clared Dr. Halberstam.

Dr. Halberstam insisted that parents and educators who guide and educate Jewish children must choose as models either “great Jews who may sometimes have to sacrifice achievements in order to become great Jews or great achievers in the sciences, music, etc. who merely happen to

be Jews.”

Nasser To Visit South America

TORONTO — Not only does working hand in N-3 not plan to disband follow- Montreal Jewish ing a strong denunciation of “self - appointed shomrim (watchmen)” by the Canadian Jewish Congress, but another organization not committed to non-violence is already being tagged as a ringleader in the demand for more action against the Nazis here. The new Jewish organization has not been named, and has been said to be interested in going “a step further” than the N-3, which insists that it is a non-violent body. AN OFFICIAL of the Committee of 23, the ruling body of N-3, told the POST and OPINION that if it wanted to sign up additional members, it could get 5,000. He said the telephone has not stopped ringing since the rally at Allan Garden (P-O, June 11) which erupted into violence and led to arrests of nine Jews. Comment on the action of the Congress in sending out 20.000 letters to Jewish homes here has been varied. The letter, accused those who fomented the riot of creating an inflamed situation which was bound to erupt into violence. THE N-3 SPOKESMAN said his group would not disband until legislation adequately providing for security against the Nazis was passed. He denied that his organization had fomented the riot, asserting that “nobody is looking for violence.” He admitted that his group is

hand with a organization, the Association of Former Concentration Camp Inmates, a militant anti-Nazi body whose name identifies them. RUMORS THAT letters respending to the letter from the Congress would be sent out, could not be confirmed. The Congress letter said that the Nazi group is “extremely small” in number and that its finances “are equally slender.” At the same time the letter decried the fact that “unfortunately, there are people in our midst who are determined to act on their own in dealing with neo-nazis with little regard to the consequences.” Congress said that days prior to the meeting, which terminated in the arrest of nine people, including the Nazi leader John Beattie, “meetings were held and irresponsible leaflets circulated, all of which helped whip up some groups within the Jewish community to the pitch of fear and frenzy that assisted in creating the atmosphere that led to the mob violence of that Sunday.” There was a feeling here that the Jewish community has suffered because of the headlines it has received since the Allan Garden riot. The editorials and long headlines have featured the internal fight within the Jewish community, something which rarely gets into the public press.

Students Eschew Synagogue, If That Is Parents' Pattern

DALLAS — Jewish college students, still fall into their parents’ religious patterns, Rabbi Bernard Bloomstone, director of the B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation at Tulane University-New-comb College, told the B’nai B’rith District 7 convention here. If the parents attend services during the High Holy Days but stay away from the synagogue during the rest of the year,

their children will invariably act the same, Rabbi Bloomstone said. “When the students do rebel against religion, it is generally because they cannot accept it in the manner it is presented to their parents,” he went on. “Therefore, we at Hillel try to present Judaism to students at the academic, the intellectual level. We try to relate God and religion to their own particular needs.”

When It Comes To Sports Jordanians Forget Enmity

vitatioa to Cairo. His visit which will take in Chile, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay, is designed to “clarify to the South American countries the wrongs which Israel has committed against the Arabs and expose the lies of Zionist propaganda.”

JERUSALEM — Tension between Israel and Jordan has relaxed, but it is only in the world of sports. A barbed wire fence marks the border between the two countries at the soccer field at Beit Safafa. When a ball is booted “out,”

it is often returned by a Jordanian. In fact, the best seats to view the action are in Jordan, whose fans can relax in the shade while assessing the form of the Israelis on the playing field. Israeli spectators, who watch the action in the hot sun, are regularly outnumbered.
