I have just read of Ida White’s retirement as Associate Editor of the
Jewish Herald-Voice.
Ida White and her husband, Dave, became publishers of the Jewish
Herald-Voice in 1938. It was also in 1938, when I was the first Director
of the Jewish Community Center (known as the YMHA at that time),
that I met Ida White. The success of our program was due to a great
extent to Ida’s interest and support.
Ida White is warm, kind, gentle and sincere. She is one of the finest
persons I have ever met. It has been my privilege to have been a friend
for 42 years.
I want to wish her many years of continued good health while she
enjoys her retirement.

would be wrong to presume that
there would be no more problems
between the Jewish State and the
White House.
Hertzberg, who stopped here
en route to next week’s World
Jewish Congress assembly in Jeru-
salem, ridiculed Israeli commenta-
tors who had deduced from
Reagan’s election statements that
Israel would now be regarded as a
“first class strategic asset” by
America’s military thinkers.
Noting that Reagan had been
given a mandate to be tough with
the Russians, Hertzberg said
Reagan was probably the only

Having watched “Cosmos”, I understand the negative reaction it en-
gendered in David Cotlar, but in turn I would like to caution him to
beware of the same type of arrogance. It is comforting to feel that you
embody “the”- Jewish tradition, but in fact caution is indicated here.
To my way of thinking, some high points in Jewish tradition are a strong
commitment to discover and face the truth, a recognition that it is a
waste of time to try to understand God, and a concern for actions, rath-
er than intentions.
Violation of this tradition by claims to superior wisdom in theology
makes Judaism appear inhospitable to our best minds. Jews figure
prominently in American physics ... A count of how few of these are
committed Jews should make it clear that they find problems with such
limited expositions of the Jewish viewpoint, as expressed by David
Cotlar. The Jewish traditions which produced so many Nobel laureates
in science should be able to offer our best minds a viewpoint which
does not outrage their scientific perceptions of the nature of the world.
I know of a few “Orthodox” scientists but regard it as indisputable that
the majority regard that Jewish turf as intellectually inhospitable.

WASHINGTON - James
Aikens, former U. S. Ambassador
to Saudi Arabia, is urging “in-
creased Arab and European
pressure on Americans to influ-
ence President Ronald Reagan’s
Middle East policy," the Saudi
Report, published in Houston,
says in its current issue.
According to the publication,
Aikens told a London meeting of
the Council for the Advancement
of Arab-British Understanding
that “the American business com-
munity will not affect Reagan’s
Middle East policy unless pressure
is put on it, and to date no Arab
politician has ever spoken to the
large American companies.”
The Report also said that
Aikens observed: “America aims
to pressure Jordan to support a
separate peace with Israel, and
military bases are planned in
Egypt and Sinai”. He added that
it is likely that aid will be given to
Iran and more hardware requested
for the Arabian facilities, the

LONDON, (JTA) - A senior
American Jewish leader said here
that Israelis were “having pipe
dreams” if they thought that the
Reagan Administration was going
to base its Middle East policy
solely on a close security relation-
ship with Israel.
Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, vice
president of the World Jewish
Congress, told the Board of
Deputies of British Jews that al-
though President-elect Reagan had
“tremendous goodwill” for Israel
and the Palestinian Liberation Or-
ganization would be a “non-
starter” once he was in office, it
American President who could go
to Moscow to make a global agree-
ment with the Soviet leadership.
“At that moment I would worry
about Israel,” Hertzberg added.
in the meantime, Israel’s
friends in the United States would
find that it would be “business as
usual” with the incoming Admin-
istration and that they would have
to “fight out the problems one by
one,” he said. Hertzberg also
noted that the Reagan transition
team was strongly opposed to
setting up a “Jewish desk” in the
White House like that under the
Carter Administration.
