Hillel, Dennis Prater, 21, of
Brooklyn. Challenging the Sov
iets, Prefer led e spontaneous
walk-oat ot the Peace Commis
sion when the Moecow-Cairo
troop, coached by members of
their re tolar UN delegations and
abetted by coUeafues rushed in
from the. other cotnm batons, re
fused to allow Vietnamese and
Chinese participants to speak.
Prater suddenly rose, M* tall,
and above the din of the desk-
poondlnf cried oat that all who
wanted to protest this violation
of democratic principles should
follow him out of the room.
About 30 did so. Althoufh their
actions did not necessarily re
flect political sympathy with
those who were excluded under
Prater’s leadership they effec
tively demonstrated their com
mitment to the democratic way.
The next morning Prager ap
peared at the Education Com
mission and delivered a speech
on the cultural deprivations suf
fered by Soviet Jewry. Back in
the Peace Commission, he par
ticipated in an exchange which
earned for him the reputation as
the only man to embarrass the
Russians. At the most dramatic
moment of the encounter, the
harassed Russians screamed out
the confession that Prager, and
not they, represented Soviet
Jewish youth.
At noon a day later, Prager
called a press conference. Sur
rounded by participants from
the International Union of So
cialist Youth, Ghana, Cyprus,
and Austria, who elaborated on
his written statement, he pres
ented a declaration signed by
members of 40 delegations pro
testing “the cynical attempts to
manipulate the conference by
representatives of the Soviet-
East European bloc and repres
entatives of the undemocratic
Left.”
During the final plenary de
bate, Prager withstood the
threats and jeers of the Moscow-
Cairo mob and demanded a
vote on the validity of their
one-sided Peace Commission re
port. When that was denied, the
Jewish students, in a last great
effort, worked to insert an
amendment in the Soviet-
inspired final message to the UN
General Assembly. Their single
success came when the plenum,
by a vote of 271-115 agreed to
condemn the Soviet invasion of
Czechoslovakia and demand the
restoration of democracy to that
country. As the vote was an
nounced, chants of “Dubcek,”
“Dubcek" burst forth.
Hid the kids muffed their
chance to show their elders up
by failing to come up with any
“fresh ideas,” grossly aping in
stead their more absurd political
battles? Yes, to the extent that
they let themselves be used as
political tools in the Peace Com
mission, and accepted the pres
ence of government appointed
professional delegates and pro
fessional “youths.” No, to the
extent that even though the
politically oriented Peace Com
mission overwhelmingly dom
inated Hie Assembly, the three
other commissions actually did
function in the spirit of coopera
tion and understanding in which
the Assembly was called, free
of ideological disputes and po
litical considerations. While the
Jewish men were spearheading
the political battle, Estelle Feld
man of Dublin steered the Com
mission on Man and His Envir
onment to a final report, lauded
by scientists and diplomats.'
With this exception, the World
Youth Assembly, politically dis
credited after nine days of up
roarious Soviet-Arab domina
tion, closed in disorder and
disgrace.
And the only ones who seem
ed happy about it were the reg
ular UN delegates, who perhaps
thought that they had proved
their point; that the UN after
a quarter century of disappoint
ments still has some value—at
least In comparison with the
World Youth Assembly.
