Mrs. Fcllman, who returned last month with her husband from their first trip to Israel noted, "On the Hadasenh Leader's Conference Tour wo heard Golda Meir and Abba Eban and were fortunate to meet and speak with David Ben Gurion and President Shazar.

'Challenge' A vitally interested woman, deeply involved with the affairs of her family, her community and her people, Mrs. Fellman views her chairmanship ol the
Women's Division of the campaign as "another opportunity for me to thank God for my blessings as an American Jewish woman. I look at this chairmanship" said Mrs. Fcllman,' "as though it was a two-pronged serving fork. One prong is responsible for the education ot our local Jewish children in our religious schools, for an improved Esther K. Newman camp and Center activities, /or the support and maintenance of a first class home for the aged, to mention but a few of the local recipients of campaign funds. The other prong has the sania responsibilities, but the location is Israel rather (dan Omaha, and the needs perhaps aresomewhat different." "As Jewish mothers living in an affluent society, I believe wa are both compelled and privileged to share that which God has given us with those who have less, wherever they may be ' throughout the world," Mrs. Fcllman concluded.
Washington, (JTA)—The United States announced last week it was airlifting some $5,000,000 of weapons to Jordan to bolster King Hussein's regime. The arms will include trucks nnd armored personnel carriers, to increase the mobility of Jordan's armed forces. The United States also will, at Hussein's request, expedite delivery of 3G supersonic F-104 jet f i g h t e r planes which it agreed to sell Jordan last spring. The State Department said that "this additional equipment is being provided as a means of enabling Jordan to assure its security and thus to contribute
further to the stability of tho area." The announcement cama a few hours after the Jordanian Cabinet resigned. King Hussein asked Premier Asfi el-Tall to form a new Cabinet and tha Premier did so within a few hours. Since a November 13 Israeli reprisal raid on Jordan, King Hossein has been under severe attack from the "revolutionary" regimes of Syria and Iraq, and from Ahmed Shukairy, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization. There has also been violence within Jordan involving the Palestinian Arabs living on the Jordan West Bank. King Hussein has charged that tha rioting among Palestinian Jordanians was fomented by Soviet agents in-cooperation with tha leftist Syrian and Iraqi regimes. The State Department made it clear that the speedup of arms deliveries was designed to bolster Hussein's regime in the face of the v i o l e n t Arab pressures.
