S. District Court in arguing against a mo tion to dismiss his $1,000,000 dam age suit arising from his arrest while picketing the film “Exodus” here. He is suing the City of Phila delphia, the police department and the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, asking $100,000 for alleged suffering and incon venience which followed his ar rest. The $1,000,000 balance is “punitive,” he claims. Leonard Orloff, ADL attorney, countered with a motion to dismiss the suit. The neo-nazi argued that the ADL had “conspired” in collusion with the City and the police to deny the Nazi party its political rights because the Jewish people were trying to set themselves up as “a superior race.” WASHINGTON (JTA)F- The Soviet missile build-up in Cuba may not be entirely dissociated from other world trouble spots and developments, including the introduction of missiles in the Arab-Israel cold war, members of Congress were told here last weekend at a top-level briefing. The American decision to pro vide defensive, Hawk ground-to- air missiles to Israel was cited as motivated as a response to the Soviet supply of jet bombers and missiles to a number of Arab states, including the United Arab Republic. This was mentioned in will thus be able to watch the children both at play and in treatment situations. “Here, in a scientifically des igned observation area, children will be acting out a whole spec trum of emotional patterns, as skilled personnel watch through one-way mirrors,” he said. “Like the living theater, the sick child acts out many of his problems, thus manifesting some of the underlying causes of his illness.” Dr. Parmet added that the transmission of voices of the chil dren through microphones “is another means of observation and study” of such children. He said tape recordings could be made for later evaluations and formulations for treatment. Abe Cooper, president of the center, said that the use of elec tronics in combating mental ill ness in children between the ages of 2 and 8 was only one “of the many factors in what may be termed the most advanced build ing designed specifically for chil dren.” In another area which attempts to aid adults disabled by emo tional problems, the Jewish Em ployment and Vocational Service here has reported progress. A report issued by the JEVS shows that more than 55 per cent of such persons who have completed the agency’s 12-week work ad justment program were “success fully rehabilitated and placed in fulltime jobs.” An additional 15 per cent were placed in vocational training or long term sheltered employment, for a total of 70 per cent who di rectly benefited from the pro gram. Clients also earned more than $85,000 in wages while being aided at the Work Adjustment Center. In the preface of the report, Leonard E. Liss, JEVS, president, said: “The value of the work ad justment procedure was clearly demonstrated. It made possible a high rate of successful rehabili tation. It was economical to op erate in terms of the cost per case, and it introduced a new a review of the world scene re lated to the current Soviet-Amer- ican showdown in Cuba. Officials said the Hawk decis ion resulted from a conclusion that an arms imbalance had oc curred In the Arab-Israel situa tion because of Soviet weapons provided to the Arabs. Israel was at a disadvantage, it was said, that increased danger of Arab ag gression or a preventive war by Israel, to restore a balance and maintain regional peace, the United States sold the Hawks to Israel. State Department sources said technique for resolving a hither to difficult problem in adjusting people to work. As a result of its experience with the project, the JEVS has extended its resources to continue support of the proj ect in full.” The three-year project was op erated under a grant from the United States Office of Vocation al Rehabilitation with matching funds from the agency. Initially 521 clients were evaluated in the Work Adjustment Center Diag nostic Shop, with 65 per cent being judged capable of entering work adjustment training. They ranged in age from 16 to 65; 70 per cent had less than a high school education; 83 per cent had an employment history of less than one year; 24 per cent had never held a job; and 61 per cent had been out of work for six months or more before entering the program. Classified according to disabil ity, 42 per cent were psychotic, 28 per cent psychoneurotic, 10 per cent were mentally retard ed, and 20 per cent had other psychological and neurological disorders. All clients were un employable at the outset, and were referred by public and private health and welfare agen cies. this weekend that, although the Foreign Assistance Act stipulates that no U. S. economic assistance be given nations permitting their ships to carry cargoes to Cuba, this probably would not be ap plied to an Arab League state, Lebanon, whose Cuba-bound freighter was the first to be boarded in the U. S. naval block ade operation. The ship, S.S. Mar- cula, carried a Soviet cargo. After some foreign ship owners ignored the American request, and foreign governments failed to act, Congress added a clause to the aid bill. It provided that “no economic assistance shall be fur nished to any country which sells, furnishes or permits ships under its registry to carry items of eco nomic assistance to Cuba, as long as it is governed by the Castro regime.” Tne only exemption from this clause is a determina tion by the White House that sev erance of aid “would be contrary to the national interests.” There was speculation here that the Lebanese ship would furnish a test case of the new provision. But the Lebanese Government has reassured Washington of its sup port of Fhesident Kennedy’s Cuban stand. It was still unde termined whether other Lebanese freighters would continue in the Soviet-Cuban trade. Through the year 1961, Leban on received from the United States $77,000,000 in economic aid, and $9,000,000 in military aid. (At the United Nations, this week, Israel’s delegation chair man, Michael S. Comay, accom panied by his ranking mission aide, Gideon Rafael, deputy di rector-general of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, conferred briefly with Acting Secretary - General U Thant. The fact that this meeting had been squeezed in between Mr. Thant’s world crisis talks with U. S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson and Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin gave rise to broad speculation as to whether the visit of the Isrealis had any direct connection with the Russo-American impasse over Cuba.)
