TAXMAN, MRS. TODD
TO HEAD U.J.W.F. AGAIN

Philip TaXman has been reap
pointed chairman of the United
Jewish Welfare Fund for its 1860
campaign by the Jewish Commun-
ity Councils executive committee.
The committee also reappointed
Mrs. Dasha Todd as Women'S Di-
vision chairman.
Under their leadership, the
UJWF drive in 1859 shot past the
5000, 900 mark for the first time in
Phoenix history.
Said Taxman, "This community
responded beautifully in 1859 and
we succeeded in raising more than
SPOT 900. This is more than had
ever been raised before and is a
sign that our community is grow
ing up.
Both Dasha and / are keenly
aware of the great needs that con-
front the Jewish people in 1860, and
for that reason both of us have
consented to lead the campaign
again in 1860.
IT hope we will have the full sup
port of every member of the Phoe-
nix Jewish Community. Working
together, we can take our place
among the conscientious Jewish
communities of America"

DEC. & TESTIMONIAL Is SCHEDULED
FOR WELFARE CHIEF KAPLAN. WIFE,

Welfare as well as other National
organizations of communal service,
aging, national health and welfare.
He recently was appointed case
study conSultant to the White
House Conference on the Aging.
He is also active in the Arizona
Mental Health Association, the
Arizona Conference on Crime and
Delinquency Prevention and Con-
troll, and the Phoenix Community
Council.
Mrs. Kaplan, a graduate of Ohio
State University, has done post

University and Akron University.
A school teacher in Barberton,
Ohio, before her marriage in 1884,
she has continued her vital inter-
est in better education through
work on citizens advisory commit
tees for new schools and teachers

real danger. The fruit of their
p party's decade long rule was
threatened with violence. The riots
unified Mapai's ranks and gave
them a sense of real battle against
a visible enemy. And what was
probably most decisive was the
fact that the riots brought to
Mapai's side many undecided ele-
ments among established segments
of the population. Many of the
latter planned to abstain from
voting but now felt a vital interest
in supporting Mapai as defense
against threats to their own posi-
tions.
THE SAME FEAR of violence
and the desire to protect middle
road democracy gave Mapai the
final push to a great victory and
destroyed Herut's chances of ma
ior success. For the first time, the
decade-old charge that Herut was
a fascist party seemed to have a
tangible basis.
When Herut leader, Begin, on
election eve toured Tel Aviv in an
open convertible escorted by 80
tough boys on motorcycles wearing
black shirts-for the average
Israel, the sight was just too remi-
niscent of the horrible past.

On the American scene, Ebony
has lauded Brooklyn's Jewish Hos
pital Boys Club as a "prescrip-
ton for delinquency" A low-in-
come section of Brooklyn surround
ing the hospital was the scene of
destructive youthful depredations.
But the Jewish hospital responded
to the situation with love, creating
an interracial club for the scores
of small boys, mainly Negro, who
loitered in nearby alleys.

A tendency existed in the Negro
press to sympathize with the Arabs
as a "colored" race confronted by
the Israelis, a white" race. There
has also been criticism of IsraePs
handling of the integration of North
African Jews. Allegations were
made of a "color line" in Israel.
But recent articles in Negro peri
odicals reflect growing objectivi-
ty. 1t is encouraging to those seek
ing interracial harmony.
EBONY CURRENTLY features a
picture story of an American stu
dent at Hebrew University in Jeru-
salem. The student, a native of
Ghana, won an Israeli govern
ment scholarship. The 22-year-
old African had never before
seen a Hebrew book. He studied
Hebrew intensively and read ev-
erything he could find on Jewish
history. Today he is one of the top
students at the university. AS a
botany major, he is learning to
combat Ghana's plant diseases.
HeSitant at first, the young Afrl-
can is now completely at home -
even in Jerusalem's synagogues.
He has developed a fondness for
the chanting of the cantor and the
traditional rituals. Popular on the
campus, he is drafted at student
parties to perform the stirring
martial dances of the Ashanti and
recount tales of his warrior an
ceStorS.
ACCORDING TO Ebony, the stu
dent earnestly admires Israel and
the Israelis." He said "they are the
friendliest people I've every known
total strangers stop me in
town and shake my hand, declar-
ing they're glad to see me here"

the Negroes social acceptance in
Israel and depicted him in friend

So seats, when the final count is
completed.
To appreciate this achievement,
one must remember that Mapai
competed with % other lists, in
cluding several large p ar t S,
whose only common denominator
was their concentrated attacks on
Mapai. Moreover, the elections
were held at a time when Mapai'S
good name seemed at its lowest
ebb in public opinion.
WHAT THEN happened on Nov.
8, enabling Mapai to increase it's
Knesset strength by 20 per cent?
There were, naturally, some very
fundamental factors: One always
likes to blame everything-from
high taxes to bad weather-on the
dominant party, Mapai. Actually,
the Israeli people today are better
off than ever before, and since the
Sinai Campaign the country also
enjoys relative tranquility along
the Arab borders. When faced with
an alternative at the polls, most
Israelis (like most Britons a few
weeks earlier) simply refused to
experiment with change.
Another fundamental factor was
the most thorough preparation and
excellent organization of Mapal
prior to the election.
THESE BASIC factors became
evident several weeks before the
elections and neutral observers be-
gan to reverse their original eSti-
mates. Instead of expecting major
Mapai losses and considerable vic
tory for itself, her main opponent,
Herut, now predicted that Mapai
would keep her strength and may
even gain one or two seats, while
Herut's success would be less
prominent.
But curiously enough, it now
seems that Mapai's two big boost
ers were events which originally
were assumed to be quite harmful
to Mapai's chances: the arms sale
to West Germany and the Wadl
Salib riots.
Judging by editorials in most
papers and most KnesSet speeches
this past summer, a majority OF
the public strongly opposed the
sale of Israeli arms to West Ger
many. Actually this issue split the
opposition parties anti-Mapai front
and, what is more important, the
man in the street, even If he was
an opposition supporter, actually
approved the arms deal. This
identified him with Mapai.
THE WADI SALIB riots were on
even more important factor. At the
surface it seemed that the riots
dramatized the violent resentment
of the North African immigrants
against the ruling Mapai party.
Actually the riots primarily did
other things. They gave rise to
several small North Aferican and
oriental parties which had no prac-
tical chance of capturing any
Knesset seats and merely reduced
the number of votes for the opposi-
ton parties which tried to cash in
on the anti-Mapai sentiments of the
dissatisfied elements.
The riots also gave Mapai stall
warts and functionaries a sense OF
