How Much Is Enough? The Campaign Scoreboard reflects sizable increases this year among those who have already made their pledges. But more than half the community has yet to be heard from. Those who have not yet pledged to this year's campaign must still decide how much their dollar commitment will be. How much is enough? ._ . When every day brings another ugly incident; another attack; another threat; people tend to build up an immunity. As . the crisis-mood Is prolonged, the perils take on softer edges. •Eventually, times of crisis seem almost normal. Since 1967 a special Emergency Fund has been included in our annual campaign. But for Jews there has never been a "timeout" from crisis. Dong before June of 1967, and ever since, every Zday has brought aTfull offering of threat, terror and torment for : Jews somewhere m~the world. ~ "7 "~— When Jewish lives are threatened, how much is enough? The current campaign is the responsibility of every Jew. Not Just the rich. Not just the deeply religious. Not just the leadership. Every Jew is vulnerable, and every Jew must stand up and be counted. , • How much is enough for Jews living in freedom and security in Omaha, Nebraska? : / How much is life and freedom and security worth?

Israel R e j j e e t s ^ For Mid-Edsf Pence Settlement Jerusalem (JTA)—The Israel 'Government rejected outright a United States proposal for a Middle East settlement based on the United Nations Security Council's Nov. 22, 1967 resolution and again turned down the principle of Big Four intervention in the conflict. A statement of policy read by Premier Golda Meir following the Cabinet meeting declared that "Israel is not and will not become the object o£ power politics or iritra-power politics and will not accept any' recommendation which is in conflict with her vital interests, her rights and her security." The I s r a e l Government's statement reiterated its insistence on "a peace based on
peace treaties" that would lay down "agreed, secure and recognized boundaries." In the absence of such, treaties, the statement a s s e r t e d , Israel would "maintain and consolidate" tfio present cease-fire Ines. U.S. Proposals The U.S. proposals, not made public, were submitted to Britain, France and Soviet Russia and to the Israeli and Arab governments. A c e o r d i n g to Western diplomatic sources, the plan'would keep Jerusalem united under Israeli rulo but would return to the Arabs other territories occupied by Israel in the Six-Day War. The U.S. reportedly proposed creation of demilitarized zones
and establishment of an International peace-keeping, forco along new Israel-Arab borders. It was said to call for a guarantee of freedom of navigation for all nations including Israel in international waterways In the region—the Suez Canal and Straits of Tiran at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. The U.S. proposals reportedly called for a solution, or the Arab refugee problem that would offer a choice of permanent resettlement or financial reimbursement. ' . The plan is said to h a v e stressed that.a settlement must be in the form of a package agreement acceptable to' all parties with no point being implemented'without the entire plan becoming effective.
