Arab-Soviet Relations London (JTA) ~ Assurances that the change in Soviet leadership marked by the ouster of Premier Khrushchev will not aff e c t "Arab-Soviet friendship" have been given by Soviet envoys in four Arab capitals. The strongest assurance to that effect was given to President Nasser of Egypt according to Al Aliram, the Cairo daily which is close to the Nasser regime. Al Aliram reported that President Nasser was sent a Soviet note declaring that the Soviet U n i o n would maintain strong ties with Egypt and would continue to recognize President Nasser's "vanguard role" in Asia and Africa. Similar messages were delivered in person by Soviet ambassadors in Baghdad Damascus and Beirut. A Syrian military delegation is now in Moscow negotiating for Soviet arms. Under Khrushchev, the Soviet Union was a major supplier of modern weapons to the Arab countries. MILITARY AID London (JTA)—Ahmed Shukairy, chairman of the "Palestine Liberation Organization" set up by the 13 Arab states at their recent Alexandria summit meeting for thp express purpose of wiping out Israel, said in Damascus that he is ready to turn to the Soviet Union and Communist China for military help. Complaining that "the doors of the West are closed to us," Shukairy declared he would send delegations to Moscow and Peiping to seek help for his "Palestine Liberation A r m y." That "army," to be made up of Arab refugees now living in United Nations camps along Israel's borders, was instructed at the Alexandria meeting to cooperate with a new, unified Arab military command, aimed at Israel, under the comand of Egyptian officers.

It Flakes Sense If you were hungry, you would seek food! If you were homeless, you would seek shelter! If you were persecuted, you would seek freedom! but You are an American Jew. You have been spared the plight of the h u n g r y , the homeless and the persecuted. You are enjoying the privileges of American citizenship. Yours is the best ,way of life Jews have ever known. What are you doing to keep it that way? It has been said: "Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote." As Americans and as Jews you can't, afford that risk. You have the key to good government. You have the right to vote. What will you do with it? IT MAKES GOOD SENSE to know the candidates; to know the issues. It is your privilege and responsibility to cast an intelligent vote on November 3.
stiouid not be a problem" said Mr. Marks. "I visited Israel in 1949 and again in 19G3. The dramatic contrast of the tremendous s t r i d e s that have been made in that period convinced me of the wisdom of buying Israel Bonds. This isn't charity. Israel bonds r e p r e s e n t good sound investments for those who buy them." Mr. M a r k s met with past chairmen of the bond drive to plan the current program to raise capital for Israel's economic development. A slate of committeemen will be drawn up soon to aid Mr. Marks in the drive. The theme this year is: "A salute to Israel as she marks sixteen years of independence." The annual dinner will be held in early December. Mr. Marks is a past president of the Henry M o n s k y Lodge, B'nai B'rilh. He is a past coin-

Desalting Washington (JTA)—The United States and Israel signed an agreement providing for a detailed study of the feasibility of implementing in Israel a program for the use of nuclear energy for desalination of sea water. President Johnson issued the following statement: "I am pleased to announce that the Governments of the United Stales and Israel have agreed to a second step toward the solution of Israel's critical • water needs. The first step was taken last June, when Prime Minister Eshkol and I established a joint United States-Israel study team to conduct technical services. These have already been completed. "Now we have agreed that our Governments will share equally in the costs of a detailed engineering study for a large water desalting project to meet Israel's present demands for more fresh water. Both Governments will promptly issue invitations to American engineering consulting firms to participate in the second step. A joint board, with each Government equally represented, will assist in making the selection and will oversee the effort." PACT PIJOVISIONS "1. An invitation for proposals for the undertaking of a detailed feasibility study by a consulting engineering firm issued promptly by the Governments; 2. That, based upon review of the proposals, and interviews, if necessary, an engineer be selected and appropriate contracts acceptable to both Governments be executed; 3. That the cost of the engineering study be shared by
the two Governments; 4. That a joint board, consisting of an equal number of representatives from each of the Governments (with a representative of the International Atomic Energy as an observer) be appointed to prepare the invitation, make reccommendations for selection of the engineer and the terms of the contract, and to perform such other functions in relation to the engineering contract as will later be determined by tho Governments, and to make recommendations to the two Governments." ESHKOL LAUDS PROGRAM . Prime Minister Eshkol declared: "The announcement by the President of the United States is to be welcomed because of the vital need to develop and implement the pioneering concept of desalting sea water on a large scale. An achievement embodying a breakthrough in this field will benefit all countries suffering from a shortage of fresh water. It is a fine thing that the Government of the United States is prepared to devote resources and efforts to this end. "President Johnson and the entire American people have once again proven their readiness to give staunch support to a Jundamental advance which will ensure a gain for developing nations. They are prepared to devote enormous resources to scientific advance and channel it towards the solution of humanity's problems. It is a great privilege for Israel to join with the United States in pioneering experiments to ease the shortage of water in Israel and other arid lands."

Federation Library LEAH by Seymour Epstein. This novel will rate for many years to come as one of the very best. It is a superb narrative about a lonely woman who has been torn between many conflicts—her parents and their problems, her several lovers, her jobs, her employer. The focus is on the life of this lonely and single woman, Leah Rubel, living in New York City, who feels her fruitless life slip agonizingly through her fingers. Whether Seymour Epstein is describing a casual encounter in a laundromat, the sudden out-of-joint awareness of a moment, the "gray, grinding predator" which Is a Sunday alone, or a seduction gone wrong, he captures the reader in an Involvement concerning LEAH.

BEEF IMPORTS, THE STATE'S Senator Roman Hruska led a successful twoyear fight, which in 1964, produced a law curbing importation of beef. In 1963, the United States imported 1.8 billion pounds of beef, the equivalent of about three million head of cattle, thus driving down prices on U.S.-raised beef. If that many animals had been fed to slaughter level in this country, the cattle would have consumed about 20 billion pounds of feed grain, equal to 350 million bushels of corn. If those animals had been slaughtered in Nebraska meatpacking plants, they would have kept all of those processors and their employees busy for at least 18 months. Therefore, Senator Hruska's victory against the Johnson Administration, in curbing the tide of foreign beef, was not just a victory for ranchers and cattle feeders. It was a victory for all farmers who raise small grains. It was a victory for employees of packinghouses and related fields. Since beef is by far Nebraska's greatest single source of income, Senator Hruska's victory was a victory for every Nebraskan.

I Write as I Please I>y Carl Alpert Haifa—Does the government have the right to dictate to a physician where he may practice, and even if it does, would such control be desirable? This is the question which is today agitating not only medical men in Israel, but a much wider circle as well. The Facts. Israel has one doctor for every 450 of population, perhaps the highest ratio in the world. In the United States there is one doctor to GOO. The real problem, however, lies in the fact that Israel's physicians are for the most part concentrated in the urban centers. In Tel Aviv there is one doctor to every 200 people! The result is that despite the national average many sections of the country do not have adequate medical care. This is especially true of the border settlements and the outlying villages where the population has been growing rapidly because of immigration. Appeals to doctors to take up posts in these areas have not produced sufficient response. A Proposed Solution. The Public Services Committee of the Knesseth has proposed enactment of a law which would make it mandatory for every graduate of medical school in Israel to spend one year practicing in one of theSe designated areas, and would also forbid the young medical graduate from leaving Israel for at least another year thereafter. The Arguments in Favor. Proponents of such a law, and they appear to be a majority in the government, make the following case. No doubt it would be much better if the problem were to be solved by voluntary action on the part of the doctors, but in the absence of such volunteers the government is compelled to take drastic action. National policy requires the dispersal of our population, • and new immigrants are therefore sent to the four corners of the country. Is it not a duty of the government to see to it that these people are provided with a minimum of sufficient care? Furthermore, the tuition fees paid by a medical student far from cover the costs'of his education. The public pays for carrying a student through his years of study, and these costs are estimated at about IL.10O,O0O per student. Is it too much to ask that a young doctor compensate his country, at least in part, by providing this needed service? Unfortunately there are too many medical students who take the "inexpensive" education provided for them, and then abandon Israel for greener pastures abroad. The proposed law is a temporary measure, intended to meet the exigencies of the moment. Perhaps a new wave of immigration will bring us an
influx of p h y s i c i a n s from abroad, as indeed happened a few years ago. In the meantime, we must act at once. Reluctance of the physicians may .well cost infant lives in border settlements. The Argument*? Agnlnst. The proposed law is an unforgivable infringement on personal liberty, which should never be permitted in a democratic state. The medical men are not shirkers. Don't forget that each of them has already put in two and a half years of military service, before he began study of medicine. Boys who add up their army duty, the long years of medical studies, interneship and then this new compulsory service may well be deterred from going in for the study of medicine and the result will eventually be a national shortage. The medical students cost the Statemoney? By the same logic, the governments of the U. S., Canada, England, etc., can some clay prohibit the aliyah to Israel of Jewish medical men on the grounds that their education was covered in part by public funds, and the purpose was to meet domestic needs, not provide doctors for a foreign country. No Israel must not tamper with the essentials of the democratic forms; otherwise we are no better than the Soviet Union, which also forbids doctors from leaving the c o u n t r y . Furthermore, young doctors just out of medical school are not yet the best of doctors; they need continued contact with urban hospitals and senior men. Sending these inexperienced youth to serve the villages and settlements would hardly be the proper way of assuring adequate medical attention there. If doctors do not want to serve in the outlying areas it is because the medical agencies, both government and Histadruth, don't pay enough, don't provide suitable facilities, decent housing, etc. Instead of compelling doctors to go, make it attractive for them.

United Nations, N. Y. (JTA) . . . Israel asked the United Nations Security Council to seek an "unequivocal" statement from the Arab states as to whether they "are willing to renounce the use of force "and abide by the peaceful provisions of the United Nations Charter. The request was made in a letter from Ambassador Michael Comay, Israel's permanent representative here, to Sir Patric Dean, of Britain, this month's president of the Security Council. In his letter, Mr. Comay referred to his earlier complaint against the Arab intentions to destroy Israel, as enunciated at the recent Arab summit conference in Alexandria, as well as to the answer to that charge, filed
here by the representative's°<jf the 13 hostile Arab states. Mr. Comay noted that, in their reply, the Arab representatives had repeated the full text of the Alexandria proclamation against Israel. He stated the official text, supplied by the Arab themselves, established beyond any doubt the Arab aim to-liquidate Israel. Mr. Comay told the Council: "Either these 13 Arab states have set themselves the aim of liquidating a n ' o t h e r member state, or they are willing to renounce the use of force and abide by the provisions of the Charter. It is the right of the United Nations to expect an unequivocal answer to this question."

The Administration has now apparently become convinced, Mr. Bollon said, that Congress is "fed up with the manner in which our aid to Nasser has permitted him to divert resources to satisfy his aggressive ambitions." He pointed out that American policy makers, because of the serious grain shortages in Communist nations, are now in a position to greatly influence the f u t u r e course of Near Eastern affairs. "The minimum price for continued United States grain shipments to Nasser," said Congressman Bolton, "should include Egyptian withdrawal from Yemen, guarantees against continued Egyptian development of a ground-to-ground missile capneity which would jeopardize the security of Israel and other Near Eastern nations, an end to Egyptian uir attacks on Saudi Arabian targets bordering Yemen, the halting of Egyptian efforts to evict the United States from air bases in Libya and Saudi Arabia, and guarantass against further interference by Nasser in the Cyprus crisis."

Five German Rocket Experts Leave E< . London (JTA)—At least five of the West German rocket experts working on rockets for Egypt were back in West Germany, according to a report from Bonn. They were said to have included Prof. Hans Goercke. Dr. Goercke. one of Germany's leading rocket experts, indirectly a figure in an incident in Switzerland early in 1903 when two men, one an Israeli, were arrested and tried on charges of threatening Dr. Goercke's daughter to persuade the scientist to quit his work in Egypt and return home. The two were convicted and expelled from Switzerland. At the same time, it was reported from Cairo that the Egyptian Government had approved funds in foreign currency to expand the work of the West German scientists and technicians 'A.:i rockets and other advanced weapons. The reports, b a s e d chiefly on talks with some of the leaders among the West German scientists b e i n g employed by 'Egypt* quoted the Germans as denying that some rocket experts have been "lured" away by offers fo higher salaries presumably made by the German Government. The Germans at Cairo reportedly said that about 500 Germans are still at wor.': on rockets and on jet aircraft for Nasser's arsenal. They claimed that two Germans ire applying for each job vacated here, and insisted that the rocket team is ''virtually intact." Tel Aviv OTA)—A newly established Reform congregation at Ramat Can today asked for police protection during Friday evening's services, after neighb o r s interfered with services last weekend. The neighbors, who claim that the premises are intended for dwelling purposes only, and not for a synagogue, said that their objection has nothing to do with freedom of religion. Members of the congregation, who rented the premises, said they intend to hold services there despite threats by the neighbors. ^

Israel Education Fund Teaching to Be Overhauled by Jesse Zel Lurie Jerusalem Post Reporter New York—A thorough examination of Israel's education system made during the past yerr by a distinguished p a n e l of American educators has resulted in a unique fund-raising effort which will culminate in minor revolution in the Israeli school system. The initial survey, which led to a new multi-million-dollar programme, was undertaken by a study mission commissioned by the United Jewish Appeal. The team was composed of Charles J. Benslcy, for many years a member of the New York City Board of Education; Dr. Harold B. Gores, President of the Educational Facilities Laboratories of the Ford Foundation; Dr. William Jansen, former Superintendent of Schools of New York City, and Dr. Harold Wilson, Dean of the School of Education at the University of California at Los Angeles. Their findings were revealed at a s p e c i a l U.J.A. National Leadership Conference on Education in Israel which convened in New York City late last month and resulted in a commitment to a new project to be known as the Israel Education Fund. Essentially what the educators determined was not too foreign to the conjectures of those familiar with Israel's peculiar educational and s o c i a l p a t t e r n s . They were duly impressed with the institutions of higher education, with the superiority of their facilities, architecture, research p r o grammes and general resources. T h e y made no recommendations on the university level and were laudatory in their praise. However, they did make extensive recommendations in- the areas of kindergarten-elementary and secondary-school education. Most Pressing Need The most pressing need, they felt, was for comprehensive and vocational secondary schools to provide immigrant youngsters in Israel's new d e v e lopnient towns with requisite trade and technical skills. In this area they recommended for construction 72 secondary schools in the coming five years, ,'il combining academic and technical courses and Xi for vocational training. Other recommendations which were adopted by the ambitious programme^ scheduled to be carried out over a five-year period, called for full training of 5,000 new teachers and retraining of 3,500 currently in the secondaryschool system; issue of 8,200 annual student scholarships; crea t i o n of an enrichment pro-

gramme of special study for gifted students each year; establishment of CO youth centres and Ii5 pre-kindergarten schools, construction of 21! libraries and purchase of basic equipment fo.150 science leboratriries. Tins programme involves the jKimate expenditure of $127.Gm. The U.J.A. has emphasized that contributions to the Israel Education fund would not interfere with regular U.J.A. fund raising which would continue to concentrate on the "transportation and absorbtion of new immigrants." According to Joseph Meyerhoff, General Chairman of the UJ.A., contributions to the Israel Education Fund will be accepted only "over and above'' the annual campaign gifts. Primary Aim The primary aim of the Fund is to destroy the inequities which Israel's immigration patterns have created and attempt to reach the disadvantaged children from Moslem countries. It has been repeatedly stressed that although these youngsters represent a majority in Israel, they comprise only 1 per cent of the university enrollment. Sociologists indicate that this may eventually result in an "ethnic collision." To substantiate this prediction they note that there exists among the Oriental Jews resentment, frustrations, apathy, waywardness, delinquency and occasional eruptions. The U.J.A., through the Israel Education Fund, is making a direct effort to staunch this problem at its source and close the gap between what the educators called "the two Israels." The programme has caught the imagination of American Jews who are becoming increasingly interested in education as an instrument of democracy. America embraces a tradition of "levelling through education," and particularly in an era when disadvantaged groups in the U. S. are being reached through the schools, American Jews are attracted to this approach in Israel. The programme had an auspicious start with the inauguration of the first of the 72 secondary schools in Tel Aviv in the name of Walter Artzt, a retired New York industrialist. The new school has 1G classrooms, three science 1 a b o r atories, two auditoriums, a gymnasium and a library. Resentment. Expected It may be anticipated that naming the schools for their A m e r i c a n benefactors will arouse some resentment in Israel. The names of American Jews s h i n e from too many plaques already, according to some Israelis, many of them members of the university community. According to an article by Charles Angoff in a recent "Congress Bi-Weekly," Hebrew University students are indignant at coastantly being reninded that their buildings are the gifts of t h e i r "American aunts and uncles." It will be equally galling for many^of t h e m to recognize that new strides in education and integ r a t i o n can only be made through the efforts of the American Jewish community and the Israel Education Fund. However, it would seem that a plaque and the courtesy of naming a building for a generous donor constitute a relatively small price in the campaign for social equality in the State of Israel. TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Walter Artz secondary school, the first of 72 such schools to be built in Israel with m o n e y from the United Jewish Appeal's $127,000,000 Israel Education Fund, was dedicated here. Attending the ceremony were the 140 members of the UJA S t u d y Mission, who included' Walter Artz of New York, an industrialist for whom the school is named.

Jewish Press Notices Of Intermarriage Provoke Discussion New York OTA)—The question whether Jewish newspapers should print notices about marriages between Jews and nonJews has become a problem in the Anglo-Jewish press in this country. Articles, editorials and comments from readers have been printed in at least two weeklies, the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, and the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, of Milwaukee. Both newspapers raised the question editorially, asking their readers to express their opirioas

on the issue. The Kansas City newspaper noted that, "becauso of our firm disapproval of such marriages, we have heretofore declined to print wedding reports of such non-Jewish marriages.", The Milwaukee newspaper, noting that some readers h'avo asked why it docs print such announcements, stated it had replied "why not?" continuing: "We know it happens and wo know there is some apprehensions as to what extent it will continue. We would be less than cogrtizant of modern-day Jewish life if we buried our head in the sand like an o?*~ich and denied its existence." . >th newspapers deplored the trv\ ' regarding intermarriages, bui asked their readers to express themselves on whether to print or not to print such notices. In the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, reader seemed divided on the issue. Some insisted that no such notices be used. Others maintained that it was not the business of the editor to suppress news.
