Israelis Huntber Nearly 3,009,080 Israel's permanent population in July this year totalled 2,882,200, of whom 415,300 were non-Jews. Statistics published last week showed that the Jew: ish .birth-rate rose in 1968 to 22.8 per thousand, as against 21.5 per thousand in 1967. The total- population rose during the year by. 65,000, of whom 51,000 were Jews. Israel's Jews have a life expectancy among the highest in the world—69.8 for men and 73.4 for women. The Arabs of Israel trail only slightly behind: 68.4 years for men and 70.9 for women. By contrast, Arabs in Israeli-occupied and former Jordanian territories have a life expectancy of only about 50 years.
Critics of that analysis point out that two of the Alignment's seats went to Former Premier David Bcn-Gurion's State List, which won t h r e e seats-as against one in the sixth Knesset. Of Gahal's: additional four or five additional seats, three came from its dissident Free Center faction which dropped from four seats to one. Thus the actual shifts of strength in the two major political groupings involved only two or t h r e e seats.
•. ' ' ',
; •:% "•'
Israeli analysts did a g r e e that the voters gave the Alignment carefully limited,support apparently out of fears that a political c o l o s s u s m i g h t emerge that might subjugate : the country. It appeared generally that the voting Israeli accepted the thesis propounded by the Government that peace-does not depend on what Israel says but on what the Arabs do. Thus, the vast majority gave their votes to the p a r t i e s which have ruled Israel since . the 1967 war. These parties stand for a retention of the cease-fire situation on the basis of reciprocity and for making no sweeping changes in the status of the Israeli-held territories until a 1 decision on their future can or must be••taken.--.-/--

Moratorium Conservatives Probe Reform Delegates Reject Proposal Abortion. Civil Rights por Establishment of Day Schools
Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. (JTA)—The United ""-Synagogue of America adopted at its biennial'convention a resolution which called on its synagogues to associate with Hie three-day peace moratorium Nov. 14-16 by special prayers for peace in Vietnam "*and~sirecial"study."on peace in—the—congregational-religious, schools. Another resolution on Vietnam commended President Nixon for his decision to begin the withdrawal of American troops, urged that the speed of withdrawal be accelerated and that the Government "move even more energetically.to end our involvement in the Vietnam war." Abortion The delegates also adopted a resolution which recognized "the inequities and Lick of consistency" in state laws governing abortion, and urged the movement's 835 affiliated Conservative congregations to study the question and to bring their concern to the attention of state and Federal legislatures to the end that • measures be taken to liberalize abortion laws. Civil Rights Rabbi Harry Halpern of Brooklyn, N.Y., a Conservative leader, told the delegates that while "as Jews we have our share of responsibility in the solution of the problem affecting the Negro, it should be made clear that we resent and deny any implications that our responsibility as Jews toward the Negro problem is, or should be, greater than that of any other white group cf America." Rabbi Halpern said that"we Jews have not been unconscious of our religious responsibility and participation in the civil rights movement and our aid has been considerable. "We have a religious mandate to help the poor and the downtrodden and we must carry it out under all conditions. But, we should make it abundantly clear that it is not because we suffer from a guilt complex. We deny the unfounded accusa-. tion that Jewish merchants, teachers and landlords are largely responsible for the pitiable conditions of the Black slum dweller."

Jerusalem . . . One of the • l e c t i o n surprises was the large Arab turnout in Jerusalem where Mayor Teddy KolIek was returned to office. His alignment list together with an affiliated Merchants and Artisans list gained nearly- 50 percent of the votes and may have an absolute City Council majority. Some 9.000 East Jerusalem Arabs cast ballots, Ignoring Arab guerrilla reprisal threats and a demand for a general s t r i k e broadcast by Amman -radio, . Mr. K o l l e k told newsmen that his victory was a mandate - for a policy of. tolerance toward the Arabs. His opponents had taken a tougher line on treatment of Arabs of East Jerusalem. Some observers said that the heavy turnout of Arab voters in East Jerusalem might have a beneficial effect on Arab-Israeli relations.

Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said the action must be taken because of the "necessity for increased manpower in the-defense forces and civil defense." The move apparently reflects a strain on the country's • manpower reserves stemming from border activities and the need to cope w i t h the internal security threat. The Cabinet learned of a serious deficit in the Government fund used to pay a percentage of the personal income of civilian reservists called to military duty. The fund is maintained with monthly payments contributed by job-holders and their employers and by selfemployed persons, and allows a refund of up to 70 per cent of normal income, not exceeding $200 per month, during the period of military service. But owing to Increased call' ups, the fund registered a $9 million deficit during the past fiscal year, and an additional deficit of |6 million was expected this year. A ministerial committee is trying to work out procedures for the future. ,

Tel Aviv (JTA)—The wives of two Israelis held by Syria returned to Israel this week describing themselves as "tired and disappointed" by the results of their trip to several countries aimed at stimulating public opinion to exert pressure on Syria to release their husbands. Mrs. Shlomo Samueloff and Mrs. Saliah Muallem visited Washington, New York, London and Rome and reported {hey found only sympathy and vague promises. They said their most shocking disappointment was. their meeting with F. C. Weiser, president of Trans World Airlines. The wives said that the TWA president not only did not apologize for not replying to letters Mrs. Samueloff had sent him
but also evaded any promise on behalf of the two Israelis. A TWA spokesman refused to disclose the nature of the conversation between the wornen and Mr. Weiser, saying it was "privileged." He indicated, however, that TWA is continuing to "do all it can on the scene" in Damascus to effect the release of the Israelis. Israel has rejected a Syrian offer to free the men if two captured Syrian pilots were released, claiming that bad, precedent would be set if two illegally detained civilians were traded for military prisoners held legitimately under-inler-_ national law. Mrs. Samueloff, asked if. she favored such a trade, replied, "We want our husbands back, hut you cannot buy off a thief."

reported that 'conditions were deplorable. The.Jewish representatives decided that the best solution for the problem would be a transfer to a more responsible owner and a complete rehabilitation of the property. t \ The Jewish leaders had two reasons for seeking such action. One was the humanitarian objective of helping the Negro families in their struggle to get decent housing conditions. The other was to end racial and religious tensions stemming from the manner in which the tenants association sought to force needed repairs by landlords. This included newspaper publicity stressing that the owner was a rabbi.
Russian Jewish Poet Said To Be in Desperate Straits pears in the Soviet Literary Encyclopedia, was b o r n in 1918 and served time in Siberia in prison d u r i n g the Stalin purges of the 1950s. When he returned to Moscow, he married and .had a son, now aged 11. When the boy was born, he applied for emigration and after several years his-application was approved. As his family prepared to leave, he was summoned by. the security police and told that the permit was c a n c e l l e d . Since then Mr. Keirelere has been w i t h o u t work, the newspaper-reported.
The specific stimulus, to the Jewish intervention was a letter from the tenants association sent last Dec. 19 to Jewish leaders in 'the Hempstead area, declaring that all efforts to persuade the rabbi to make needed repairs had been failures. The letter cited nonworking stoves and refrigerators, erratic plumbing and heating, unsafe s t a i r w a y s , floods in the laundry rooms and broken windows. The Jewish representatives who visited < Wilkow Apartments confirmed the complaints as well as the fact that the landlord had made few of the needed repairs. The Jewish leaders obtained agreement from local black groups to stop publicizing the fact that the owner was a rabbi. The Jewish organizations also obtained his agreement to sell, and arranged to sell the development to a, local community group which was incorporated for that purpose. The syndicate spent enough money to repair the major violations but, it was agreed that . the entire project was in bad condition and complete rehabilitation was essential. As the next step, the Jewish organizations began talks with Federal Housing Administration officials for mortgage and rehabilitation funds to buy and remodel the apartments, only to learn that.the federal freeze meant no such funds could be provided for the time being by the FHA.

Jewish Agency Uses 'Streetwalkers' To Reach Youths With Drug Problems like himself, the street volunteers, who wear the usual hippie clothing and long hair. ..The help provided by the agency to the adolescents and their families, Mr.. Rothman explained, is based on the thesis that teenagers who abuse. drugs are o f t e n acting out problems which can often be dealt with through casework counseling and p s y c h i a t r i c treatment. When the drug involvement is so severe that hospital treatment is necessary, the program also seeks to provide information on the resources available in the, community for that type of prob' t lem. The project, after months of planning, was started in midSeptember, with selection of the two youths who were re- I Write as I Please cruited from among 20 such adolescents through Ys working with such youngsters.

Another element of the program is a series of meetings for parents, arranged through local Jewish organizations, to help the parents understand the problem: and to deal with it m o r e efffectively, if and when it affects one of their children, according to George Rothman, executive director of the Jewish Community Services of Long Island. The JCS, an affiliate of the Federation of Jewish Phllan.throples, hat four offices and a staff which includes SO caseworkers, It psychiatrists,/and four psychologists.

The assignment of the two street workers is to win the trust of troubled adolescents and to persuade them to meet a JCS caseworker. The goal is to get into the earliest possible contact w i t h the drug-using adolescent, Mr. Rothman explained. The two street aides are working in Jewish neighborhoods, establishing themselves in one neighborhood as visible sources of help from the agency, and then moving on to another section with the same objective. The selected areas are known to be sites where drug-using teenagers gather. Mr. Rothman said the new approach stemmed from the f a c t that parents had been bringing to the agency an increasing number of children involved in drug use. However, he reported, that many of the adolescents saw themselves as forced to come to the agency and were resistant to being helped. , .

N.Y. Agency Provides. Aid For Unwed Jewish Mothers New York (JTA) — The increasing number of infants born out-of-wedlock, many of them to Jewish girls, has led the Louise Wise Waterman Services to accelerate efforts to inform the Jewish community of its program for unmarried pregnant women. A beneficiary of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, it is the only Jewish Agency in the United States equipped to provide a total service to such women. The agency has issued a pamphlet. "Pregnant and Not Married," describing its services in the field, which* has been dis• tributed to rabbis, doctors, Jewish community centers and day schools. In addition to casework counseling for unmarried pregnant girls, the agency offers the protection and privacy of two maternity residences, with kosher meals provided on request. Services of Jewish chaplains also are available. > Mrs. Florence Kreech, executive director explained that tlie primary concern of the agency was to reassure the girl and her family "that with, the sympathetic help of an experienced profes* eional staff, she can deal.with her problem and plan for her ' future, in a realistic and safe manner." She emphasized that every contact by such girls and their families with the agency "is treated with the utmost confidentiality." • J
Orthodox Rabbis Oppose Sabbath Program at Center Newark (JTA)—The RabbinIcal Council of New Jersey has Joined with the Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Essex County in opposition to the plans of the Essex County YM-YWHA to keep its NorthficldY building open on Saturdays for a modified program of special activities for young people. Rabbi A l b e r t Schwai'lz of Perth Amboy, president of the state Rabbinical Council, said lie had appointed a "committee of concern for the sanctity of the Sabbath in Jewish public institutions." He said the committee would meet with officiate of the West Orange Y to seek cancellation of the new Saturday policy and that the committee would develop ,a "preaching campaign" to tell congregations and members of Ys throughout New Jersey of the "possible imminent danger of having the open-door policy of the Sabbath spread to other sections" of the state. The Rabbinical Council said that it was u r g i n g the Y's board "to reconsider its fiction and maintain the long-standing tradition of communal agencies, created and maintained by Jews, to adhere to observance of and respect for the S a b b a t h .

group also declared that the decision, "however well-intentioned, n e v e rtheless contributes to divisiveness of the community by an institution that is committed to the concept of serving as the common meeting ground for all elements of the Jewish community."
By Harold Goldberg Graduate Student, Brandeis U. Four undergraduates were recently elected to the highest policy-making body of the National Council of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation and were accorded full voting and participation rights. • Their election was one example of measures now being taken by the organized Jewish coJhmunity to meet the complaint of Jewish college students that "the Establishment" operates without regard to the thoughts and sensitivities of the Jewish s t u d e n t and is therefore . responsible for the fact that the Jewish student, in large n u m b e r s , is being "turned off." In the past, the young Jew's contact with institutional Jewish life-usually ended with his Bar Mitzvalvand Confirmation, and as he advanced, towards maturity with-only memories of an irrelev.ant H e b r e w or Sunday school education. By the time he reached college, Hillel didn't have a chance.

Stockholm (JTA) — Prof. M u r r a y Gell-Mann a New Yorker on the faculty of iho California Institute of Technology, was the recipient of the 1969 Nobel Prize in physics awarded here. The J e w i s h physicist was c i t e d for "his contributions end discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their Interaction." Among these was the "quark" purported to be the smallest known particle of matter. Dr. Gell-Mann, 40, has been a leading theorist for many years in particle research. He earned His Bachelor of Science degree at Yale University in 1048 and his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951.

Pilot Urges Boycott of
orators Washington (JTA) — The president of the United States Air Li n e Pilots'.'"Association called for a total boycott of all transportation against countries which collaborate with aerial hijackers and fail to punish them. Capt. Charles H. Ruby said he envisaged a boycott by ship, rail, truck and by international aviation companies and their personnel in the cases of Syria, Algeria, and other countries that collaborate with hijackers. Capt Ruby told a press conference that his association takes "an extremely dim view" of the sale of tickets to Damascus by an American airline when Syria has'freed the hijackers of a TWA jet but continues to hold two of its passengers in jail. "Our contention is that civil aviation should not be used for political-purposes," Capt. Ruby said.
TO ADDRESS UOJCA CONCLAVE
Capt. Ruby expressed the belief that an international airline pilots' decision" to boycott Syria was in the making. Ho said a boycott that might-pro*duce results would last longer than 24 hours and'apply \o all surface transportation as well as. air traffic.
Funds Urged for Jewish Education Kiamcsha Lake, N.Y. (JTA) —A leader of Conservative Judaism urged the American Jewish community and its welfare funds to revise priorities in order to furnish more money for Jewish education. Henry N. Rapaport, outgoing president of the:United Synagogue of America, said that Jewish education provided the only assurance of Jewish .survival. "Without survival," ho .declared, "there will be no need for Jewish'"welfareT funds," Jewish hospitals or Jewish defense agencies." u Mr. Rapaport, of Scarsdale, N.Y., addressed the biennial convention of the United Syna* gogue.
