The World's Week
Compiled from JTA and WUP Reporh
TKI, AVIV (JTA)—The Mupai Party Secretariat, after two (lay.s of deliberations, tleclcled to express full confidence in Prime Minister Eshkol and to back him in his dispute with former Premier David Ben-Gurion whch came to a head last week, when Ben-Gurion called Mr. Eshkol "unfit" to loRdlhe party and the country.
\VASHIN<;T0N (.ITA)—The Senate, with a unanimous vole of (iS to 0, adopted a re.solution condemning the re¬ ligious and cultural persecution of Jews in tho Soviet Union. The Senate acted promptly on the measure, which was pro¬ posed earlier by Sen. Abraham A. Riblcoff, after its Foreign Affairs Committee reported favorably on the resolution, which urged the Soviet Union, "in the name of decency ancf" humanity," to cease executing persons "for alleged economic offense.f and to permit fully the free exercise of religion and pursuit of culture by Jews and all others within its borders,"
LONDON (JTA)—At least 80 German scientists and ex¬ perts who had worked in Egypt on Nasser's rocket and jet programs have returned to West Germany In the last five monlhs, according lo ^'eporls from Cairo received here. Other Germans are scheduled to go home on vacation in the next few months, the reports declared, and there is doubt whether the "vacationers", will return to Egypt.
WASHINGTON (JTA)—A restriction limiting the Presi¬ dential authority to approve sales of American food sur- IJluses to Egypt was adopted by the Foreign Affairs Com¬ mittee of the Mouse of Representatives. In reporting out the iy(>D-<!C Foreign Aid Bill, the committee retained the earlier prohibition under which no sales of surpluses can be made to Egypt "unless the President detennlnes that such sale is essenlial lo tho national Interest of the United States."
nUKNO.S AIRES (JTA) — A resolution condemning Arab propaganda in Latin America which joins neo-Nazi groups in advocating anli-Semllism, and caUing upon the people of South Amerca "to fight actively against Nazi atrocities," was adopted hire by the South American execu¬ tive of the World Jewish  Congress.
Jewish Press Week Being Celebrated
NEW YORK (JTA)—An American Jewish Press Week, sponsored by the American Jewish Press Association, of which the Ohio Jewish Chronicle is an affiliate, started Wednesday throughout the country, and was followed by the annual convention of the publishers of English- Jewish weeklies which opened in Atlanta yesterday.
In a proclamation issued by Philip Slomovitz. chairman of the Press Week, it was emphasized that the Jewish community in the United  States  needs  proper  com¬
munication. "Without it. many com¬ munities that aro without news¬ papers, and communities which do not utilize the services offered to them by the Jewish press, will live in a vacuum." the proclamation stated.
It pointed out that the English- Jewish press" is the only effective Jewish press in the world today, outside of Israel, where the lan¬ guage is primarily Hebrew."
It the English - Jewish weekly press suddenly disappeared, the ef¬ fect would be a weakened American Jewry.
Xiiis is the finding of a survey reported in the current issue of The National Jewish Monthly, published by B'nai B'rith.
Without English-Jewish n e w s - papers, the survey notes that Jewish organizations and synago¬ gues would lose an Important com¬ munity-wide means for publicizing their activities and attracting new members. Fund-raising d r i ve s would be less effective, and the blackout on news of Jewish interest could not be replaced by any exist¬ ing medium.
The survey by Harold Eidlin, newswriter and editor for the "Voice of America" and former staff member of the Jewish Tele¬ graphic Agency, was based on questionnaires sent to congrega¬ tional rabbis, public relations direc¬ tors of Jewish national organiza¬ tions and to Jewish weekly pub¬ lishers themselves. "
Most respondents considered the disappearance of the Jewish weekly press "unthinkable."
Some 65% of the rabbis who were polled lauded the Jewish press for doing a "good to excellent" job
of reporting religious news. Three out of five said that without the Jewish press much of what is called "Jewish news" would go unre¬ ported.
About 80% of the publishers ques¬ tioned reported that their papers had enjoyed circulation gains dur¬ ing the past five to ten years.
The following newspapers are members of the American Jewish Press Association, tvhose member¬ ship comprises independent, Eng¬ lish printed newspapers serving various communities throughout the United  States:
