off this week in its first test. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Corp., which yielded to Arab threats in 19C2 and withdrew its agent from Israel, announced this week that it would reestablish a distribution agency in Israel and do business directly with that country instead of through third-party agents. The Goodyear announcement came only a few hours before Deputy Prime Minister Abba E. Eban confirmed in the Knesset the open secret that Israel had embarked on a fight-back policy and would deny Israel markets to companies cooperating with or yielding to the Arab boycott. This restriction will be affected by requiring Israeli importers to obtain "special approval" before making purchases from listed
The New York Board of Rabbis, composed of all three wings of Judaism, praised President Johnson this week for his war on poverty program and immigration proposals but expressed its "alarm" over provisions of his massive Federal education program which would prov'de aid to parochial and p r i v a t e schools. The Agudath Israel of America. ultra-Orthodox group, previously had welcomed the President's proposals. The Board of Rabbis declared that "the religious school clearly is established to serve the sectarian purposes of the sponsoring religious group. It is a violation of our understanding of the hallowed principle of church-state separation to require the state to support religion. Furthermore, we consider it ultimately harmful to our religious institutions to depend on state funds for the furtherance of their program." AID WELCOME In a letter to the New York Times, Joseph Kaminetsky, director of the National Society for Hebrew Day Schools, criticized Jewish groups raising objection to Federal aid for parochial schools. He said there were 320 Jewish p a r o c h i a l schools in the country, with Washington, D.C.—The Nation- nearly 60,000 students, "vitally al Catholic Theater Conference concerned about such aid by the will present its 1!)R4 Religious Government that will be in conDrama Award to "Fiddler on sonance with the Constitution." the Roof."

ISRAEL'S STRENGTH Mr. E b a n reminded Parliament that "I srael is not powerless." lie pointed out that Israel's purchases abroad equalled one-third of the total purchases of all the Arab countries combined and noted that Israel buys more of some products than all the Arab states. Israel thus has a considerable buying power to use as a weapon. But, Mr. Eban stressed, that was not all. "Neither are we alone," he declared. World public opinion and the economic power of the ten million Jews in the free world could and should be harnessed in the fight.
Israel Bond Purchases '§n ® Nutshell' Mr. Ephraim L. Marks, General Chairman of the Omaha Committee for State of Israel Bonds, is happy to announce the annual purchase of a State of Israel Bond by the Senior Citizens Club, sponsored by the Omaha Section, National Council of Jewish Women and the Jewish Federation. Mr. Marks also expressed his appreciation of the Bond purchase from the Jewish Funeral Home.

The current Atlantic Monthly's Report on Israel appraised the economic situation of the country as follows: "Israel now produces 81 per cent of the goods which it consumes; 12 years ago it produced only 30 per cent. Israeli exports today cover over 50 per cent of the costs of imports; 12 years ago they covered only 14 per cent of those costs. The balance of payments deficit' is higher than it was 10 years ago; but the national income has multiplied threefold during that period. Foreign exchange reserves have grown to around $000 million and the total amount of Israeli currency in circulation is only around $240 million. The country's financial position is sound."
Highland Park, N. J. (JTA)— After a full discussion of the subject by various bodies of the Jewish community, a decision has been reached that the Jewish Journal, the Federation's official organ should not publish notices of a marriage where one partner is not Jewish. The issue arose recently when the daughter of a prominent Jewish family here married a non-Jew who did not convert to Judaism. The Journal submitted to the Rabbinical Advisory Committee a question as to whether it would be proper to print the notice of such a marriage in the Federation's newspaper. Tho Rabbinical Advisory Committee decided that such a notice does not belong in a Jewish communal newspaper. On the other hand, the committee felt there was no objection to announcing the marriage of a Jewish couple, even if it takes place beforo a secular authority, provided that mention is made of the secular official who performed the marriage. "The participation of a rabbi," ruled the committee, "is not a necessity to make a marriage valid according to Jewish law."

MJESS
ily linrbnra jess "And God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it." "Remember the sabbatli day, to keep it holy." The Sabbath, the oldest holiday in the Jewish religion. The only holiday that comes more than once a year. To many it is a day on which they have the opportunity to go to the synagogue and pray. To others it's a perfect day for golf. To some it can be a day spent at the hairdresser's. To others it is a day of quiet study. What does the Sabbath mean to you? Why?

NEW YORK fJTA)—A resolution urging that boys and girls seeking certification as Bar or Bas Mitzvab must commit themselves to continue their Jewish education until the -age of 15 was adopted here by the sixth annual School Board Chairmen's Conference o! Jewish School;;, held under the auspices of the Jewish Education Committee of New York. The plan was proposed by Arthur E. Friedland, a member of (he board of the JEC. He deplored the fact that, in most instances, the age of J.'{ is considered ' a terminal point of religious training" culminated by Bar Mitzvnh or Bas Mitzvab. He suggested 'hat "the terminal point," be changed to age 15. at which time the pupil would take a standard examination for a Bon Torah certificate to be awarded at a synagogue.

MONTREAL (JTA)—Robert N. Thompson, a member of Parliament who is national leader of the Social Credit Party of Canada disassociated himself and his party unequivocally from all and any individuals or groups in the Dominion who advocate or practice "anti-Jewish discrimination or encitement." The name of Mr. Thompson and the Social Credit movement has been, from time to time, used by various native and visiting hate peddlers as friendly to neo-Nazi groups. BONN (JTA)—Angered over Nasser's invitation to East German head of stnte Walter Ulbricht, but reluctant to sever tics with Egypt, the West German Government is considering reducing its aid to Egypt, it was indicated here. Bonn sees the U l b r i c h t visit to Cairo, which is scheduled lor February 20, as a challenge lu its influence in the Middle East. The foreign affairs committee of the Bundestag, lower house ol Parliament, met this weekend to discuss the Ulbricht visit to Cairo but no decision was taken. As a result of the meeting the Government was advised to consider the Ulbricht visit to Egypt as a de facto recognition by Egypt of East Germany but that, instead of severing diplomatic ties with Cairo, economic aid should be halted.
