Special JTA Analysis
for Middle East Peace?
How Washington regards the Middle East situation, in the realities of geopolitics and in the wake of Mrs. Melr's visit is likely to become apparent-soon. Egyot is expected to take its newly won resolution to the Security Council to pressure Israel into accepting the precondition of withdrawal. This may follow hard on Ambassador Jar-* ring's current initiative, which again is regarded : as certain of bogging down because Egypt insists on its own way. Anything less than an American veto of any proposal brought to the Council or' any other maneuver on negotiations without preconditions can only serve to darken the outlook for an agreed peace. An irresolute American-position would be a blow to Israel but also a sign of weakness in Cairo and above all to the Soviet Union. . However, the State Department has declared

Regarding a full agreement, the De- , partmeht's position is essentially unchanged in that it rests on Security Council Resolution 242.
Murkey elements in what may be developing include: improved Soviet allowance* of Jews to go to Israel; the cry of anguish in Libya at the sight of Soviet armor killing Pakistani Moslems; the hunting by Palestine guerrillas of; Jordanian leaders; and the sight of Senators who have been opposing military credits to Israel now apparently supporting the idea or not fighting it, which may be a clue from them that they now see Israel as being of value after all to the U.S. in • world politics. • .' -

American concern with Soviet gains oh the subcontinent may mean stronger American blocks to Soviet expansionism in the Middle East. Defense Secretary Melvin* R.

babfes irrespective of religious background. \ Tiiis is not to say that adoptive! children jure not available! They are. Application are being-accepted readily for older children, for sibling groups (brothers and sisters' from the same family) and for children with physical, emotional or developmental problems. Applicants also will be considered without delay for black or racially-mixed children. Jerome Siskind, executive director of the Jewish Family ^Service, and Mrs. Ruth Hoffstein, senior caseworker, attribute the striking change in baby supply to three, factors; increasing use of contraceptive pills, easing of abortion laws nationwide, and the growing determination of u n w e d mothers to keep their infants. Along with directors of many Jewish family agencies across the country, they believe that the philosophy of "Vou don't 'have to be married to have a family" will cut even deeper into the supply of Jewish babies up for adoption. "Communal "living," ' Mr. Siskind pointed out, "lends itself to a sort of group mothering and fathering in which the natural mother doesn't have to expend her energy 'exclusively in caring for the baby. If the trend toward group living arrangements be1 comes stronger, we should see even fewer unwed mothers giving up their babies." While not taking issue with this viewpoint, Elizabeth Townsend, "director of the Children's Bureau, feels, that in general all the returns-are not yet in, especially in the area of single parent families. . "There'have been cycles before in the supply of adoptive babies, arid I believe there will be again," she-said! "I seriously wonder whether the changes we are experiencing will be sustained. I detect a small increase in the number of unwed mothers who elected first to keep their babies and now are finding it so difficult they are wanting to plan adoption.

Hadassah Holds a Seminar on the Prevention of Blindness; A "World's fair," perhaps the first of its kind, where researchers «nd practicing opthalmologists displayed their "wares" to hospital and medical administrators of developing countries, was held recently at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center. It focussed on the immense explosion of blindness in the worldfive million blind in 1950 and 15 million now. The number of blind Jews In Israel has risen from 500 In 1950 to 9,000 in 1971. An international seminar of this kind aims to making all scientists aware of the problem of administrators and transmitting the knowledge or researchers to the opthalmologist in the field.
