The Southern Israelite <wvV Vol. XLV A Weekly Newspaper for Southern Jewry - ^ Atlanta, Georgia, Friday, July 10, 1970 Two Sections- more or less brief o^° e u No. 28 BONN (JTA) — An explosion, followed by fire, occurred in a luggage truck in a hall at Frank furt Airport near the reception desk of El A1 arline. A few min utes later flames spurted from n refuse basket nearby. No one was No License For Station Pushing .Hate WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Federal Communications Commis sion, which has rarely removed a broadcast license, even for pro gramming that some have found racially or religiously offensive, has voted unanimously to with draw the license of WXUR, Media, Pa., which had been charged with “highly racist, anti-Semitic, anti- Negro and anti-Roman Catholic” content. That charge was first made in 1966 by local clergymen opposing the programming practices of the station’s licensee, the Faith Theo logical Seminary. The outlet regularly broadcast commentaries by the seminary’s right-wing president, the Rev. Carl Mclntire. The 7-0 FCC de- sion last Thursday, which over ruled a hearing examiner, accused WXUR of failing to provide op posing viewpoints and of ignoring its obligation to notify subjects of on-air personal attacks of their right to reply. The Commission ordered the /station ^ to yease operations by American Nazis Blame Blacks, Jews For Racial Crisis WASHINGTON (JTA)—A rally of the National Socialist White Peoples Party, formerly known as the American Nazi Party, on the Washington mall Sunday drew an audience of about 250 which appeared to consist largely of hecklers. Police kept them apart from two dozen khaki- shirted party members sporting swastika arm bands who sur rounded the speakers platform. The speakers, greeted with jeers and obscenities, ranted against Negroes and Jews. Dr. William Pierce, the party’s information officer, called President Nixon a traitor because he allegedly tol erated “Communist demonstra tions” against the Vietnam war. Another party leader, Robert A. Lloyd III, claimed that America’s racial crisis was “caused by the presence of two alien races, blacks and Jews” and urged “drastic so cial surgery.” Dr. Pierce was identified in the Senate last week as the voice on a party-sponsored telephone message urging “a bul let between the eyes” for three well known Liberal senators op posed to the Vietnam war. hurt and damage was negligible. No arrests have been made. TEL AVIV (JTA)—Daylin Inc., an American retail firm with an annual turnover of about $500 million, will establish the Israel- American Investment and Devel opment Co. here, it was an nounced by Ammon Bamess, of Los Angeles. Mr. Bamess, an Is- raeli-bom American millionaire, said the new company would co ordinate the activities of Daylin- owned subsidairies in Israel, some of which already, exist and others that are planned. He said the en terprises range- from tourism to the manufacture of plastics and helicopters. Among them are the Sharm el-Sheikh Holiday Village and the Blue Line Minibus Co., Dekel Plasttics and a helicopter service. Mr. Bamess said efforts should be made to get American investors interested in such proj ects. Robert Hall, Inc., a nation wide American firm specializing in inexpensive ready-to-wear men’s and women’s apparel, will import about $3 million worth of Israel-made clothing next year, newspaper Bavar reported. Robert Hall already has purchased about $800,000 worth of Israeli clothing, mainly raincoats and swimsuits and is expected to reach a vol ume of $1 million by the end of the year, Davar said. Israel General points Russian Participation in Egyptian Action NEW YORK (JTA)— Gerald L. K. Smith, the notorious hate monger, has accused the Amer ican Jewish Congress of block ing the road to his Christ-of-the- doesn’t mind at all, a spokes man for the AJCongress said here. Smith recently told the As sociated Press that AJCongress had led an organized “conspir acy” to stop a Federal grant for the construction of a road lead ing to his Eureka Springs, Ark. project. An AJCongress spokes man denied the conspiracy charge but said the organization was otherwise “delighted” to ac cept Smitht’s accusation. When TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel’s Chief of Staff, -Gen. Haim Bar Lev, disclosed Tuesday that at least two Soviet SAM-3 missiles have been fired at Israeli air craft over the Suez Canal zone in recent days. He reported that the Egyptians and Russians were inching their missile bases ever closer to the canal zone and that Israeli jets have been attacking those bases and have destroyed five of them. Three Israeli jets were lost in the attacks so far. Gen. Bar Lev made his dra matic disclosures at a press con ference here. Asked if any Rus sians were killed in the Israeli attacks on the missile bases, he replied, “I don’t know, but I think so.” Gen. Bar Lev said that Russian pilots were not detected in the canal zone, add ing, they do not need to come in view of the anti-aircraft defense. Gen. Bar Lev said that the first SAM-3 missiles known to have been fired in combat were re ported by Israeli pilots returning from one of their daily sorties. He did not indicate whether any of the Israeli planes were hit. reports of the pending Federal grant—$182,000—reached AJCon gress late last year, it issued a protest to Transportation Secre tary John A. Volpe and Com- strous” for the Federal govern ment to assist Smith’s bigotry. On June 21 the Commerce De partment announced its decis ion to withhold approval for construction of the road. Smith declared that his attorney would give the Justice Department the names of “T1 to 16” persons who he said had participated in a “conspiracy of organized Jews” against the road proj ect. But he disclosed that the three Israeli jets downed last week— two on June 30 and ohe Monday —were hit by SAM-2s, missiles that had hitherto been ineffec tive against low flying aircraft. According to Gen. Bar Lev they were fired from improvised, non-concrete launching paids which the Egyptians set up during the night, between last Monday and Tuesday. He said tens of missiles were fired at the Israeli attackers but only three scored hits. Gen. Bar Lev said that the Egyptians, aided by the Russians, have succeeded in moving a dozen or more ground-to-air missile bases ‘ within range of Israeli jets flying missions over the canal zone. He said the missiles were mainly SAM-2s but were supported by at least two batteries of SAM-3s maimed exclusively by Soviet personnel. The Egyptians are manning the SAM-2s, Gen. Bar Lev said, but with Russian ad visors who are “more than ad visors.” He said, “We feel the Russian hand in almost every field of planning, operating and directing the SAM-2 missiles. According to Gen. Bar Lev., the missiles are now deployed within a rectangular area the eastern line of which is located 15-20 miles west o fthe Suez Canal and disclosed that Israeli planes fly ing over the canal were fired on by SAM-2s and in one case a missile exploded in midair and fragments fell on an Israeli out post on the east bank of the canal. This indicates that the missile launching pads are lo cated within 20 miles of the canal since 20 miles is the range of the SAM-2. Replying to questions, Gen. Bar Lev said the new develop ment was considered “rathjsr serious” but, he added, “This does not mean we have lost our air superiority as the number tof missile bases is rather small.’ He warned, however that “under cover of these batteries, the Egyptians and Russians can move their missile? further east ward toward the canal and then it would be more difficult for Israeli planes to act over the canal zone.’ He said the Russians and Egyptians were trying to de prive Israel of freedom of op eration along the waterway and to build up Egyptian forces for an offensive operation. (The problem of Soviet military esca lation in Egypt was raised in the House of Commons by P£ul Rose, a Labor MP. In a question addressed to Foreign Secretary Sir Alec Douglas-Home, he wanted to know if, in view jof Soviet operational flights and missile escalation he would authorize the sale of Chieftain tanks to Israel. The Foreign Secretary said in a written reply that “I is not ouf practice, nor has it been the practice of previ ous governments, to comment On the details of paricular arms transactions. We will, however, consider each application for arms sales carefully on its merits, taking into consideration Senator Fulbright Downgrades U.S. Help For Israel WASHINGTON (JTA)— Sen. District 5 BBYO Replaces Convention With Leader Training; A ‘Groovy’Conclave by CRAIG ARONOFF Southern Israelite Youth Staffer For the first time in its al most 40-year history, District Five of the B’nai B’rith Youth Organization did not hold a convention this year. In its place a District Leadership Training Conference (DLTC) was held. The purpose of the new pro gram is to offer the leaders of the District’s chapters specific guidance toward individual de velopment and social responsi bility. It was not many years ago when basketball games, mischief and the opposite sex were the primary attractions to BBYO gatherings. Although the mixing of the sexes still take place, the spirit of traditional “hell raising" has largely disappeared. At last week’s DLTC, a pro fessional staff of social workers, Participant Describes Pop Festival Wall-to-Wall People, Jewish Nudes By CRAIG ARONOFF Southern Israelite Youth Staff Writer People _ wall-to-wall where there were no walls. Four-lane highways were mere sidewalks jammed with human beings. Hundreds of acres usually used for soy beans, com, livestock and pecan trees were camping sites and parking lots, said a stage and an arena. On stage — the 2nd Annual Atlanta Pop Festival. In the arena — the real attraction — people, by various estimates 200,000 to 500,000 hot, dirty, tired, thirsty, and happy hun dreds of thousands of people. People — almost exclusively young, college-age — yes, they had long hair — piled into cars, trucks and buses — pouring into Byron, Georgia (pop. 1,188). Music was their excuse to ga ther, but the gathering was why they were there. The most of ten heard question was “How many people are here?” Nobody knew. Nobody could know. Awesome, frightening in a way, powerful — people, and the feel ing of people. “Wow . . ." sighed the mass, looking at it self, “Look at all the people.” By Thursday night; on the eye of the festival; crowds had swelled beyond all forecasts. Roads were jammed for miles with cars bearing license plates like Rhode Island, Montana, California . . . While cars idled in traffic, their passengers got Continued on pope 5 educators, rabbis and artists guided 125 youth in what Dis trict president Jeff Kaufman called “a thinking program.” The change in the BBYO format, represented by the estab lishment of the DLTC is deeply rooted. Whereas the “good time" used to be the main considera tion, today the Jewish youth or ganization has adopted a new set of values and goals directing it to the diverse problems con fronting society as a whole. In this 3ense, the activism of the college campuses has filtered into a basically high school age program. Still dedicated to Ju daism and fraternity, BBYOers seek to utilize these relevant doctrines to effect their world. A major portion of their efforts to improve society are directed at improving themselves. Speaking about the program Kuafman said, “One of our main goals was Jewish identification. Part of that is social responsi bility. We stress the positive as pects of social responsibility in a lot of ways ranging from com munity service to problems of premarital sex.” Kaufman was “amazed at the awareness” of the participants of the program in relation to their world. Their average age was 16%. ' . - The event took place at Camp Continued on page 4 J. William Fulbright took issue with President Nixon’s assertion last week that the Middle East situation is more dangerous for the United States than the war in Viet Naim. The Arkansas Democrat, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on the the Nation” that while the Middle East is “an explosive situation,” there is “nothing more damaging to the future of our country than Vietnam.” Replying to a question from CBS correspondent Marvin Kalb, Mr. Fulbright said the Vietnam war had caused the “de terioration” of the United States. He added that the Middle East was a major trouble spot because “the cold war is heating up and getting more dangerous.” He said that while there was “a danger of course” of the Mideast “becoming a conflagration,” he did not feel that the Soviet Union wanted such a conflagration. Asked about U. S. military sup port for Israel, Sen. Fulbright re plied, “We have no formal com mitment, no treaty” with Israel but America does have “tremen dous respect for the Israelis and for the Jewish race in general.” Sen. Fulbright is regarded by some Israelis and pro-Israel Americans as one of the Senate leaders least friendly toward the Jewish State. He was not among the 76 Senators of both parties who signed a round-robin resolu tion last month urging the Nixon Administration to sell Israel all the jets it requests without delay. Sen. Fulbright said that he thou^it a solution of the Middle East conflict lay in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) between the US.A. and the USSR, in Vienna. He noted that President Nixon made no men tion of the SALT talks in his remarks on the Mideast last Wed nesday and cbdmed that Mr. Nixon is “not really interested in them.”
