UJA1 Associate General Chairman. "No set goal lias been bid down lor this emergency i.iml."' Mr. Ginsberg said. "Iml v/e are completely confident that the American Jewish community will bring in a sum which will lar outstrip all previous campaigns, because we think people understand the dimensions of the present problem." Plans to establish the Israel Emergency Fund were set in a continuous series of tensionpacked meetings of the UJA national executive committee and ether key leaders of the entire American J e w i s h community who streamed into New York
from all parts ol the nation (luring :he past wc-rk. Mr. Ginsberg stressed that the UJA Israel Kmergoney Fund drive will seek lunds over and above the regular 1!)G7 campaign, which has been concluded in most communities. The Emergency Fund proceeds, he emphasized, would be used exclusively for the aid programs in Israel. "We are asking the Jews of America to do two things at once." Mr. Ginsberg emphasized. "We call upon them to turn their past pledges to their regular community campaigns into immediately usable cash. And then we ask that they give again—in amounts commensurate with the overwhelming need — to the UJA Israel Emergency Fund. We have complete confidence that the Jews of America will r e s p o n d in fullest measure to the emergency drive."

WIENERS
Bv BORIS SMOLAK The newly-created situation in Israel has naturally dislocated the country's e c o n o m y and Etrongly affected the absorption work of the immigrants there in need of aid . . . Thus, it imposes upon the Jews in the United States the obligation to come financially to the aid of Israel more than ever . . . It is clear that American Jewry must consider the present emergency situation not as a year of ordinary giving to the United Jewish Appeal. This comes at a time when, under the present provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, an additional JO percent income tax deduction is available to individuals for c o n t r i b u t i o n s m a d e to charitable organizations that are "publicly supported." . . . Legal experts and accountants agree that UJA clearly falls within the definition of a "publicly supported" charitable organization .'. . Thus, in making gifts to the UJA, one is not restricted to the customary income tax provision limiting the deducibility of charitable gifts
to 20 percent of his adjusted gross income . . . Instead, his gift to UJA qualifies for the additional 10 percent deduction, making it possible to give up to 30 percent of the adjusted gross income to UJA, and to receive full tax benefit for it. A contributor is also free to make gifts to UJA in excess of the 30 percent figure, carry forward such excess gifts to future years—for up to five years— and claim the amount in excess of 30 percent as an income tax deduction in the future year or years .'.. He nui-st, however, remember that contribution made through a private foundation cannot qualify for the additional 10 percent deduction for the five-year carryforward, even though the contribution is ulti mately received by the UJA . . , Anyone who contemplates giving more than 20 percent of his adjusted gross income should therefore make his gift directly to UJA in order to secure the full tax benefit, rather than by channeling the gift through his foundation.

The Sinni campaign of J*JS6 saw the Israeli Army route 30,000 E g y p t i a n t r o o p s and brought about the collapse of Gaza after a three-hour fight. It made General Dayan and his black eyepntch known over the world. Alter the Sinai withdrawal, General Dayan gave up his post to study political science and Middle Eastern affairs as a prelude to entering politics. He has been considered a political disciple of former Premier David BenGurion.

It dispelled the notion that the Israeli advances had been virtually faultless military exercises. His recounting of Israel military blunders infuriated many of his countrymen. However, it left the impression that no matter how badly the Israelis did, the Egyptians did worse.

By CAM, M.VT.KT Haifa—The reaction of Israeli's Arab citizens, who constitute some 11 per cent of the population, has been extremely interesting, and to many observers even unexpected. Of the 300,000 members of Israeli's minority groups, 200,000 arc Moslems, 50,000 Christians, anil the remainder other denominations, including Druzcs. It would not ".com strange if they were to be considered less than fully loyal to the State. Their television and radio sets have t h r o u g h the years brought into their homes the most rabid anti-Israel propaganda from the neighboring lands. They have been told again and again by Egyptian leaders that Nasser will one day wipe Israel off the map. It was only a matter of time,

J to be pro-Israel know that they may be considered colCarl Alpcrt laborators and treated as such if the opportunity comes. Furthermore, Israel's Arabs are kith and km of the people across the borders in every direction. There is a perfectly natural affinity between them. Nevertheless an unusually large number of Israel's Arabs, both leaders and rank and file, had already from the beginning of the crisis, begun to speak up freely, courageously, in behalf of the Israel Government. Bishop George Hakim, ranking religious leader of the Greek Catholics, has reminded^ his people that their first loyalty is to the country in.which they live. Other leaders, including the mayor of Nazareth, notables of Arab villages both in the Galilee and in the center of the country, have warned the Arabs not to be led astray by incitation from over the bonders, which will in the long run hurt them. Some 40 Cadis and Immams, Moslem leaders, met and prayed for the peace and welfare of Israel. Individual Arabs have come forward to give help. One wealthy Arab sent a check for IL.1,000 to the Ministry of Defense. An Arab laborer contributed IL.100 to defense of the country. A group of farmers sent a large consignment of vegetables to the Army. Singly and in group-3 many Arabs have asked that their services be utilized in the national defense. Many have, like the Jews, made voluntary advance payments on income tax. • I do not'recall that there was any such movement in 1956 during the Sinai war. At that time the Israeli Arabs were for the most part silent. They did not want to "mix in." The Druzes, of course, are in a different category entirely. They have been on the side of the Jews from the beginning; they have always served loyally in the forces and have been among the most heroic soldiers of Israel's Army. They have historic cause to consider Uie Arabs foes. The other day t witnessed a demonstration of Druzes here in Haifa, carrying a huge Israel

flag, singing in unison and demanding that they be put in uniform at once to defend Israel's borders. Undoubtedly there are some fifth columnists among Israel's Arabs. There are those who aro openly affiliated with the Communists and do not hesitate to speak up in favor of Nasser. There are many who find it expedient to be quic-t until they see which way the wind will blow. All the Arabs of Israel, with lew exceptions, have been anxious to preserve the peace. They know that they will sulfer from war. But beyond that there arc many who say that the present situation at last gives them an opportunity to prove their loyalty to the State of Israel—a loyalty which hail not always been accepted at lace value. . The growing flood of Arab support for the Israel Government is a phenomenon of nuno than passing interest. It is an indication, first, of a considered judgment that they have fared well in Israel; and second, it is the result of their measured appraisal as to which side is apt to emerge victorious in the showdown.
Vnat pledges loyally to Stale of Israel.

By Mickey Gereliek I kept a dairy of my trip to Israel, and in less than a week, my notes have become obsolete. Last week I wrote in my diary ubout a nation mobilizing in the face of increasing threats of war. At this writing the throats have become reality. Today Israel is.in battle with her Arab neighbors. By the time this appears in print, the war may indeed be over. And all in the space of one week! I am overwhelmed by the speed of events. I line! it difficult to report on my trip to Israel, Certainly it was not what I had expected. We had planned on being tourists, instead we became witnesses to history in the making. It was an extraordinary experience and one which we are not likely to forget. This week 1 share with you gome ol the pictures from our £Cra"bock Not the usual tov:ri:;t pictures, but pictures which tell, far more eloquently than words, what it was like to be in Israel during this period of mobilization. And now, from the pages of my diary which has so quickly become a history, f start the recounting to you ol this extraordinary experience. ' Before We I-efl You will recall that it was on Friday, May I!), that Secretary General U Thant shocked the world with his hasty removal of UNEF from Gaza. Headlines in the United States screamed of military buildup:; in E g y p t . Over the weekend thousands of long-robed Moslem preachers •were mobilized by the IJ.A.R. go<'ernment to spread a nationwide call for a "holy war" sgamst Israel On Sunday, May 21, the Israel Cabinet approved government defense measures taken o v e r the weekend m reaction to the
withdrawal of UNEF and massive Egyptian troop buildup was reported along the Israeli border. On Sunday night, May 21, we boarded the El Al plane that would take us on our first visit to Israel. Israel at Last We were the only Americans aboard the plane that v.as less than one-third filled. The other passengers were oil Israelis returning home. We arrived in Tel Aviv Monday night, Israeli lime, and the bright lights of the city dispelled many of our fears. We picked up a copy of the Jerusalem Post and the reports ol the news were far less frightening than those we had read in the New York Times a few hours previous. We walked up and down the streets of Tel Aviv, watched the hnppy, g:iy, young people walking hand in hand along the streets and those enjoying the leisure at tl.e side walk cafes. We talked to a few people who assured us that in spite of the events of recent days, there was nothing to fear. We slept easily that night, comforted by the assurances of our new Israeli friends. 'the Trip Norlli Early the nnxt morning our guide arrived to take us on the long trip through the northern part of Israel to Kfar Blum where we were to spend the next two days exploring the life in a kibbutz. Our first stop along the way was at Natanya, the site of the Malban home for the aged. We visited the massive facilities and talked with many of the (iOO aged residents. (At this point I must deviate from my diary. We learned in early reports of the war that Natanya was one of the fust places to suffer the effects of enemy bombs. At this p o i n t there is no information as to the status of the Malban home I

The other "urged all American tourists to leave t'oiinlriis in tin* middle cast and strongly a d v i s e d against American tourists entering the countries in tlie middle east." In Haifa we visited briefly with Carl Alpert at the Technion. (Mr. Alpert is an American who has lived in Israel for many years and who is a regular columnist for the Jewish Press.) Zev, our guide, and Mr. Alpert both regarded the news as being serious, hut certainly no cause for alarm. Once again we were assured that there was no reason to change any of our plans. The Soldiers As we drove north from Haifa the mobilization of Israeli defense forces became more evident. All along the highway we saw soldiers and tents. There were few cars on the road other than military vehicles and city buses carrying uniformed men. We saw soldiers hitch-hiking Somewhere in Isi.iel — a and stopped to pick them up. soldier prays.

in just that way. Some had not even communicated with their families tliat they were recalled. Once they had rejoined their units, perhaps two or three days later, they were given a three or four hour leave to go home and pick up personal belongings. These were the first soldiers we met—men returning to their units alter t h e s e brief three hour leaves. We saw no resentment, fear or distress in any of these soldiers. At the same time, this was the first indication we had from Israelis that there was any real possibility of war. It was also the first of a consistent expression of confidence by the entire nation that "if there is war—we will win." At the Kihnulz By the time we reached Kfar Blum it was early evening. All was quiet in this.lovely kibbutz. The only sign of impending danger was'the announcement that the school on the kibbutz would be closed the next day so that the children could work in the fields, taking over the jobs of the many men who had left to rejoin the army units. " We were somewhat uneasy about remaining in this isolated spot in view of the news of the day and the mobilization efforts we had been seeing. Should we stay as originally planned and write the story of life on the kibbutz, or should we return to Tel Aviv where we would be in a better position to write the story of a country reacting to threats of war? It was a decision, that had to be made quickly since our guide was anxious to start the long trip home. And now in true journalistic form I close the pages of my diary and next week will pick up the story and tell you what our decision was.

Then you should switch to a cool-cooking electric range. Only an electric range gives you an oven that's insulated on all six sides—top, bottom, left side, right side, front and back. The heat is held in—roasts the meat, not the cook. Surface units cook cooler, too. Heat is transferred directly to the bottoms of pots and pans—doesn't escape up the sides and into the room. But the coolest thing of all—the low, low prices Nebraska-Iowa Electrical Council Dealers are featuring. So— stop in. Pick out the cool-cooking electric range you like best. . . with all the easy-cooking, easy-cleaning features you like most.
