"Aflenflc U f y Ild-Ecisf MEfery SI?eticftli NEW YORK (JTA)—Israel should feel more secure than it lias In the recent past but a "potential Middle East balance of terror" still liaunts the capitals of the region, according to an analysis by the Atlantic Monthly. The analysis said Israel should feel more secure because of the breakup of attempts at Arab unity, leading the magazine to conclude that "no one today expects an Arab drive against Israel." Israelis, according to the analysis, believe an important turning point in its relations with the United States was reached with the agreement for sale to Israel of the United Slates A4 Skyhawk bombers. The transaction means, said the magazine, that the United States has been persuaded for the first time that Israel needed an offensive air weapon and that, to Israel, the agreement mnnni t\n\> the United Slates accepted tlicJdca of independent deterrent power. The analysis suggested that with this deterrent promised" by the United Slates, the decision about atomic weapons development in Israel can be postponed,
New York (JTA)—The American Jewish Committee charged this week that discrimination is virtually exluding qualified Jews from executive positions in the nation's l e a d i n g commercial banks. A survey of the 50 largest commercial banks, made public by President Morris 13. Abram, showed that 45 of these banks had no Jews among their senior officers.

THE JKWISR TltESS
U.S. Sypport Urged For W a s h i n g t o n iJTA) — Rep. Thomas C. McGrath, Jr., Now Jersey Democrat, proposed in a Hou.se speech this vvptk that Americans should help establish "a comprehensive ArabJewish elementary school" to promote integration in Nazareth. Hep. McGrath said that, on a recent visit to Israel, President Zalman Sliazar agreed with him that a school to educate Arab and Jewish children between the ages of 12 and 18 would be "an excellent starting point" in promotion of ArabJewish trust. Integration The Congressman said: "During my visit to Israel. I noted that Arab and Jewish children are now taught in separate schools. This system gives rise lo the possibility that future citizens of Israel will be divided ire their attitudes tcv/ard the state and widen the gap of suspicion that has existed between the two communities since the creation of Israel in 1943." Advocating an integrated school in Nazareth, where he indicated separate schools now exist for Arab and Jewish communities, the Congressman said it would help reduce the tensions that exist between the Jews and Arabs within Israel."

Mr. Torczyntr said that "social upheavals in a number of Latin American countries and racial conflicts in the United Stales have escalated anti-Jewish prejudices «nd have intensified anti-Semitism even among wide circles of Negroes here." He further asserted that the ''so-called white backlash in the South, in the Midwest, and currently in Chicago, mostly led and instigated by extreme rightist forces, have o p e n e d the doors to such anti-Semitic elements as the Ku KIux Klan and the American Nazi Party. Awakening The Zionist leader voiced confidence that the "alliance of blatant anti-Semitic elements with the r.nti N'cgro forces will open the eyes of those Negroes
who themselves harbor antiSemitic prejudices." He further said that the current re-emergence of the anti-Semitic elements is "also awakening Jewish youth to the realization of their close a f f i n i t y with the Jewish people." "Our youth," Jvlr. Torczyner asserted,- "is beginning to learn the lesson of history that, rather than trying to escape from Jewish identity, they can best carry on the battle ajjaiii.st bigotry and prejudice by standing tip as Jews, imbued with a consciousness of their Jewish heritage." "The decline of organized anti-Semitism in the years since the end' of World War II, with the partial acceptance of Jews in certain social and economic hastened the voluntary process or assimiin t ion, particularly nmong Jewish youth.

New York — Rabbi Arthur J, Lelyveld of Cleveland, president of the American, Jewish Congress, notes that the task of • preserving traditional Jewish values cannot be divorced from the need to apply them to contemporary issues. "We catmol apply the ethics and, imperatives of our faith unless we understand v/heaco they have sprung and what they have meant in the heritage and history of our people." "We cannot preserve theso Jewish values imter-s we recognize them as vital, vibrant and pertinent to our day," said Rabbi Lelyveld. Discussing the new situation confronting the American Jewish community. Rabbi Lelyveld declared: Chaage "A great change has overtaken the Jewish community — particularly American Jewry — over the past three generations. Our grandfathers and greatgrandfathers, living for the most part in Eastern Europe, were secluded and isolated from the world around them. For them it was enough merely to preserve Jewish values and Jewish culture."
Mora. Sludenls for Hebrew Day SchoolsNew York (JTA)—Hebrew day schools ia the Greater New York metropolitan area expect a total enrollment o! 47,101) pupils during the current school year, representing a 5 per cent increase over last year's enrollment, it was announced here today by Dr. Joseph Kaininetsky, director of Torah UmeBorah, the national Society of Hebrew Day Schools. Four new Hebrew day schools were established during the past summer, bringing the total number, of day schools in the area to 153, of.which 109 arc elementary schools and 44 at the high school level. The Hebrew day schools at the high school level are expected to show the greatest proportional increase in enrollment, with 1.000- new pupils for a r e c o r d total of tO.tOO pupils, Dr. Kaminetsky said. The figures include schools in all five boroughs of the city as well es in Nassau and Westeheatcr counties, which adjoin New York City.
Kablil Arthur J. Lctyveld "When it came to issues of the day, they said — and rightly so": 'We can do nothing about the problems of the world, for the Gentiles have excluded us from it." "Today we can no longer say that the world outside is the world of the Gentiles alone. Today we can study ami pray and we can act. For the community around us is our community as welt as the Gentile's and there is no longer any distinction between things that are Jewish nnd things that are of the world."

By Gita Wakschlag According to an article in the Jewish Pres3. The Office of the Postmaster General has rejected a protest by the American. Jewish Congress against the issuance of a 1900 Christmas stamp depicting the 'Madonna and Child.' The story outlined the struggle between various Jewish organizations and the National Post Office Department with regard to a religious stamp being issued to coincide with the Christmas holiday. It appears that in spite of all the letters of protest by these Jewish institutions, which stress the unconstitutionality of such a stamp, the United States Post Office has not changed its plans to issue the stamp. The Post Office explanation for their action is that (1)—No once is forced to buy the stamp and (2)—It is a reproduction of a piece of art in honor of the artist. Representatives of various Jewish Youth groups were asked for their opinions on the controversy. * * * Jcancttc Reinglas, llevrah BBG '•Christmas is almost like a national holiday anyway.

kol went out to the marooned cutter himself—a gesture undoubtedly seen by the Syrians ne.ir the opposite shore—and ordered the salvage work to proceed the following day. It did. Fare-Saver What helped Syria to decido not to shoot, however, was that it iiad found a face-saver. The Syrian MIG-17 inside the lake had begun to break up. As the deterioration proceeded, the Syrian pilot's body, along with portions of the plane itself, floated over to the shore near some Syrian villages. Syria announced that it had sent frogmen to rescue the plane and body. It was not quite true. Israel was able to exhibit, the very next day, portions of the MIG-17, showing the Syrian air force markings. It was evident that each side had cot part of that MIG out of the lake. Vow What? The-question asked around thn United Nations is: Where is Syria going from here?

Haifa-Considering the many critical problems which face Israel in the fields of national defense, economics, education, etc., it niny sound ludicrous to refer to cats jis a n a t i o n a l problem. Yet the question of what i to do about cats is an issue which today agitates a considerable part of the l tion. On the veryl day when Israel \ pplanes bombed 1 \ Syrian Installa- C.

Adopting Families There is no denying that cats' Jiave become a nuisance in Israel. Within the last- few years there appears to have been a feline population explosion, so that wherever one goes one sees kittens and cats. Some of the animals are household pets ond belong to families. Tho great majority, however, are independent. That does not mean ihat they are the ordinary brand of alley cats, They do not belong to families; the families belong to them.-A'group of cata will cdopt two or three families, and give them as much loyalty, affection and attention as the. food supply warrants and feline fickleness permits. If cats stay out of doors it's not BO bad; but families -which live on the g r o u n d floor, or which have accessible porches find that tho creatures are apt to enter by any door or window left open. The cheese pie on tho table, or tho roast just out of the oven fall quick victim to tho .intruders. .:' It is easy to say: don't feed .! the cats and they'll go away. -' True enough, hut even people 1 who hate cats ennnot resist tho 5 temptation to put out some 7 (scraps of fat, some leftover cheese, or a saucer of milk, pour or not.

whole, it occurred to us that it rnipht be of value to take a religious' census of one person. Once we had obtained pertinent information from one person, we might go on to another, and another, and tiliU others. Who knows liow far we might get! Tin.1 person we have in mind is, more or less, Jewish. The questions will relate to how much more and how little 'ess. The fiict of being Jewish is, indeed, a fact; but it is a fact with'the most surprising expansive and contractive susceptibilities.. A census may easily ascertain iv!"icllit:i a person is related . to a Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, atheistic or /some other classification. But it is not at all easy to learn through a general census whether a Jew is unJewish or intensely Jewish or at one of innumerable points in between. Takfi tl"1 matter of. affiliation. How shall we clasify the fellow who pays dues to his father's Orthodox congregtaion out of lientiment but refuses to pay dues to his own Reform congregation out of pique? Or the fellow who "belongs" to three eengrrfjaHons end is thus three times the truant? Oh, to be an Abraham! And what of the fellow who rejects all affiliation out of his intense belief in a totality of commitment? .Tills man believes in believing, but is unable to believe. He fjnds all affiliation and all observance short of his ideal, and therefore insupportable. He wants to live the way the Torah tells it, but when the Torah tells that n man was a shepherd or a farmer or a soldier, it tells that fact in a few words and then devotes whole sentences and paragraphs to the man's self-expression in relation to God. Our census subject, on the other hand, is asked to devote minutes and possibly hours to his religious expression, but is expected and obliged to devote his days nnd weeks to his shepherding, his farming, his soldiering and his merchandising. Our subject would gladly bo a whole Jew if lie were allowed his own chapter, or even verse, in the Tornh. But in this workaday world, he settles for being "unaffiliated" or, at most, "unobservantly" affiliated. Reasons for self-contradiction Then, there is the "unbeliever" whr> never misses a service. Ko nerds to protect his unbelief,
which is in greater danger of backsliding. Ho accomplishes this by-fervent participation in all prayers and close attention to all sermons. The prayers he knows to be silly, and the sermons he is sure to find inane and absurd. Without their continual justification of his disbelief, he might well go; the way of the great mass of indifferent p.'irticipants, Where shall the census taker place this fervent observer of negativist participation? We have also the complete rejector of religion who, cut o* deep regard for pious parents, dissembles his violent impiety and convincingly acts out the role of a faithful worshipper. When his parents will have died, this man has tsvo choices which he, .somehow, prefers to the apparently more logical course of abandoning his religious exercises. He may continue his practice out of mystical reverence for his parents, or, if he has children: He may choose to remin a pious Jew outwardly on the theory that this is the only way ho can give his children freedom of choice about religion, inasmuch ns the disappearance of religion from the home would be tantamount to denying them the possibility of choosing his religion. The census taker would soon learn that his trade is not a simple "yes-or-no" matter. A photograph of feeling Perhaps a somewhat revealing technique for eliciting information would be a reverse method. Instead of asking the subject to state whether he is Catholic, Protestant .or Jewish, it might be more productive to ask him whether he is un-Catholic, un-Protcstant or un-Jewish This approach, even though having some research potential, would probably be considered odious and hostile by religious interests, but the mere suggestion conveys a sense of the complexity of searching Into a man's soul with a questionnaire. One cannot escape the conclusion, after pondering this problem, that really drop information is not available. Tho census subject may know that he is concerned with religion, but he Is not able to make a still 'photograph, even in his own mind of his relation with God. That, only God can do. Wo therefore leave the- religious census to Him.

Bv RARUt SAMI/fX J. FOX Ql/KSTIOX: Hhy arc (he days preceding (he Jewish New Year's Holiday called "Days of Sclk'liot1".' ANSWER: This is because penitential prayers asking for forgiveness are recited every morning in the .syii;i;;o^uu In-fore Ilia mornin;; service during this period. These prayers are called "Srlichot." Hence the days of the period are called "Days of Selichot." Most congregations offer these prayers for at least four days bvtmn the day of Rosh Ha.ihana. # * * QUESTION: U'liat b the origin o! these "Selirliot"? ANSWER: The Talmud traces this practice hack to the Dayj of Moses. After the people of Israel sinned with the worship of tiio Golden Calf, the Almighty gave Moses a formula whereby the people of Israel in future generations could approach Him. rpjjentint; their sins and beseeching His forgiveness. The basic formula in the recitation of the- thirteen attributes of the Almighty which is thu key passage of the Selichot prayers and is recited over mid over aeain during HIP Selichai liturgy, i.'.oscs received this formula during his second ascent of Mount Sinai. (Jl'KSTION: Why is it customary for the Cantor who lends (he Selichot liturgy oa the Saturday nijjlit when Selicbot are recited hefore Kosh Ilasliaii.t to near a borrowed Tallil instead of bis own? ANSWKil: Basically, a Tallit is worn only in the daytime silica the commandment of Tzitzit (fringes* which is fulfilled by wearing the Tallit, is required only in the daytime. Since the example of Selichot shown to Moses by the Almighty was that of a Cantor wrapped in a Tallit. a Tallit is required on Selichot night for'the Cantor. In order to avoid the requirement 0/ making a blessin;; over the Tallit, which is questionable at night, the Cantor wears a borrowed Tallit.

The electric heat pump is a complete homo heating and air conditioning system. How It Works A heat pump works on the same basic principles as an air conditioner. In summer, the heat pump removes heat from inside the homo and exhausts it outside. You could say that the heat pump is cooling Inside nnd heating outside. In winter, the process is reversed—tha lieat pump takes heat from tho outside air and delivers it inside. This may sound surprising because wo do not think of cold air as a source of he'if. But even zero-degree nir holds a certain amount of heat. Further, the heat pump has a series of electric heating units to assure extraheat on the coldest days. Temporaturo Control •The full-season operation of the heat punip is controlled by a central thermostat. No change-over or make-ready is required—on variable days of spring or fall, the heat
pump automatically provides warmth on chilly days, changes over to cooling on warmer days, Tho temperature insido your homa; is at tho desired level year-aroundi > Types of Equipment Heat pumps ore available as a packago unit or split unit, depending upon installation requirements, Tho packago unit is contained in a single cabinet. The split unit allows motor and compressor to ba mounted outside. In either case, tho air distribution system is equipped to filter, humidify or dehumidify indoor air and to control the amount of outside flir admitted.into, the system, •
Easy to Instil An electric heat pump is quickly installed- when" building a new home, remodeling an older home, or os replacement f6r an older heating system. Installation costs oro reasonable} nnd cost of operation ia more economical than ever, thanks to new low electric rates.
