American aid to Jordan was suspended when Jordan entered the war against Israel last Juno. The American contribution to the Jordanian budget has been nbout $27 million a year. Ambassador Findley Burns, it was announced here, has already delivered a check for $1.5 million to the Jordanian Foreign Ministry at Amman as a partial payment.

Mr. Nolle recommended that the United Stales follow a hands-off policy in the Arab-Israel dispute and, while continuing to permit private citizens to remit funds to individual countries, to grant tax exemption on charitable grounds only for "strictly humanitarian" contributions. Itcfugfcs Among his other recommendations were that the United States gradually close out its support of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, so that the primary responsibility for the, refugees went to the countries concerned; that it terminate financial aid to King Hussein of Jordan and provide aid in future only through international auspices; that it make no effort to reestablish diplomatic relations with Kgypt; and that it seek an end to the Middle East arms race and, in the interim, provide arms to Middle East countries through ordinary commercial sales on the same terms to all.

Israel Produces Record Harvest Tel Aviv (JTA)—-Israeli farmers have turned in a record wheat harvest of 210,000 tons, comprising about (>0 per cent of the country's total requirements, it was reported this week by a spokesman for the Agricultural Ministry. He stressed the importance ol the domestic yield in view of the decline in wheat surpluses throughout the world. Comparison between the yields of Arab farmers on the West Bank of the Jordan, now occupied by Israel, and Israel's current output, showed that the former Jordanian region had produced an average of only CO to 70 kilograms per dunam, while the average perdunani yield in Israel was more than 200 kilograms;

Ambassador Gideon Rafael, Israel's permanent representative to the U.N. told the Secretary-General that the majority of the inhabitants of the area had been evacuated by the Syrian authorities in the course of H]e fj , )ti t here, apparently for m i l i t a r y consideration. "Many of these people have been in the direct employ of the Syrian army, whose camps, bases and extensive fortifications and installations had been the predominant administrative and economic factor in the area,", he said. He also challenged the accuracy of the figures used in the Syrian complaint.

Washington (JTA)—A leading American Jewish civil rights worker said that Jews were reducing their contributions to such "nihilistic causes" as that espoused by H. Rap Brown, chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, but he pointed out that the anti-Semitic positions taken by SNCC reflected the extreme leftwing position assumed by that group. Dore Schary, Chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, said in a press confer-

ence that he did not see the American Negro community as anti-Semitic. lie characterized Negroes as less prejudiced against Jews than were white non-Jews. Urging continuation of programs to implement equal rights for Negroes, he stressed that Negroes had the right to provide their own l e a d e r s h i p . He asked, however, that they "at least not shove us away" in striving to combat prejudice and perfect the American society.

We .say we love it here, and maybe we do, but. as you know, ior some ol the wrong reasons. Once in a while we take a glance at each other and we see our pious expressions. We look very religious, Mr. Cod. We convince ourselves that We really are loving you instead of ourselves. Kul let's nut kid ourselves, <;od. Most ol the lime, we do a pretty poor job of really praying. Maybe we thought prayer was magic, Mr. Lord, and decided wt> didn't need to cooperate actively with you in working lor a heller world. What did we do for that family that lives in a wooden shack on a winding roarl in Mississippi? Did we help out the lather? He earns less than a thousand dollars a year under the modern slavery of the "plantation system." Or hnw nhotit the mother? She is bearing her seventh child. The lamily is hungry. Let's face it. Lord, we haven't provided an opportunity for these human beings to break out of their grinding, desperate life, where they have been prisoners since birth. But wait a minute! Those young Jews marched ior civil rights. They diet .something! How about that? No, you're right. Lord, we really didn't do that much alter all. We made a good show, all right. We got our names in the newspapers. But'most ol -us didn't really do a damn thing, at least not anything that really counted. But. well, come to think of it. we did do something. We. the well fed. comfortable, middle class 'people, we prayed —that's right, we prayed for help for situations like that family in Mississippi. But (hose prayers didn't do (no much about altering the political and economic facts of life, or helping specific men, women and children who are the victims. Wouldn't it be more honest not to go through the mere motions of praying, Lord? I mean, if we do not intend to offer ourselves and cooperate with you in fighting evil? Just a minute. Mr. God. I just thought of something else. What about all that money we gave? How about that? Okay, I'm sorry, you're right again. It was just an excuse. I ought to know that it takes more than outside actions. 1 ought to know that my heart has to have real feelings,' human feelings, feelings for you, God, and for your creatures. But I have to admit something. I just can't be the kind of person that you want me to be without your help. I have to pray for your help, God. So, now, I want to try to pray a real prayer, God, a real, sincere prayer. .-, . Spare me, spare me and all of my human brothers from all of our selflove, our relationships and lies in our relations with other men, with our perpetuation'of social and psychological ghettos in which we barricade ourselves from our brothers, spare us from our maintenance ot segregation as uur nut!ou<il «ii«5 religious way of life, and our too easy acceptance of cultural norms because we wish to be popular, therefore becoming conformists in our thoughts and actions, . , . Make me, make me, dear Mr. Lord, to see others, not in racial categories or as strangers wearing colored masks, but as living and human persons created by you in your very own image, . . . Let me. God, let me hear the human hearts beating alongside my own, and let others hear the messages of our own beating hearts, so that we may communicate with one another in a spirit of naked compassion and mutual need, . . . Show me. Lord, how to avoid empty smiles and polite forms which perpetuate evasion of truth and dishonest relationships, Thanks, God. Thankyou. Thank you very much for listening to my prayer, I feel more pure now. There are some things that are a little bit more clear. Can I talk to you about these things. Lord? I feel kind of close to you now. These things have been on my mind for quite a long time and I haven't been able to express them. Praying helped, God! It honestly did. I think I can talk to you now.

I used to be afraid to be lonely. I kept-saying Ih.Mt 1 wasn't going to get lonely anymore, and .so I kept, very busy, telling myself I was serving you. Hut I \v;-.s lying, God. I was lonely as hell. If I weren't talking to you right now, I'd probably be lonely again, thanks, God, for .showing me that I'm never really lonely when you are around. Another thing, Cod, what about Hiroshima and Auschwitz? What went through the minds of mothers, what happened to the lives of children, what stabbed at the hearts of men when thev were caught up in a sea of Hume:; :<ml gas? What was it like—-when the families were separated, when the weak perished, the .strong faced inhuman tortures of the spirit and the body? What v/as it like, God? You know something? I think that we, the living, are capable of the same cruelty, the same honor, if we turn our backs on you and on our very human brothers. God, this thing about whites and Negroes has me pretty mixed up. It's a .real temptation, I admit it—it's Inifc. Sometimes I want to pour out all the cliche about racial violence; I want to blame the other guy nnd get it all off my back. That's a real temptation, God, and I hope that you never let me do it. I got very mad at a white guy today, Lord. He came out with the whole set of standard lies about Negroes. He just sat there with his damned grin on his face and started talking. He never raised his voice. He was always a gentleman, very respectable and proper—while he crucified the Negroes. I wanted to slug him, Lord, and smash his mask. I wanted to find out what was really behind it. I got mad at a Negro, too. He was so irrational and full of hate that I got sick. I know that be had reasons for it, but that just didn't mailer to me. I could not hear that hate. Lord, when are your human creatures going to get together? When are (he hating whites and hating Negroes going to get togi'lficr. I don't have that much hope, God. I know I should, but I'm Just not that strong, I guess. It seems that hate adds to hate, ant) everybody Is blaming the other person. H just seems to he gelling worse, Lord. When are people going to start controlling themselves, hard as it may be? When are they going to stop hating and .start looking nt their own wrongs and inadequacies? When is it going to happen, Lord? I guess the only place to start is with myself and with all my friends. I guess that's the only place where we can start, f'm going to do my best, Mr. God. 1 feel like I want to pray again, and we all need your help in this thing God. We need you a lot. Lots of my friends don't pray, and lots ol them try, but they just don't think they get through to you. I don't want to be presumptuous, God, but I really believe in you, and I want to pray for my friends, too. . . , O Cod, cc"d «s next door, into the nevt vootn to sneak somehow to a human heart beating alongside our own. Send us to bear a note of dignity into a subhuman, hopeless situation. Send us to show forth joy in a moment and a place where there is otherwise no joy but only the will to die. . . . O God, teach us how to pray. Not the prayers where we love ourselves, not the prayers where we show the person silting next to us how pious we think we are, but the prayers that leach us to find you, lo see you in every human person, to make us help all of your living, precious, gorgeous creatures; the prayers, 0 God, that make us see joy, and beauty, nnd astonishment, and real life throughout your unbelievably big gift to us, throughout the entirily of your really big thing, through the \rliolc world. . . . 0 God, you, who are neither red, yellow, block nor white, but who has created us in a marvelous variety of rich colors and marked us with your image— help us to see persons, not a black person or a yellow person, or a white person or a red person, but human persons.

Burial Site The historic evidence of its antiquity is unmistakable. It was in Hebron, as recorded in the Book of Genesis, that Abraham purchased the C a v e of Machpelah and buried there his wife, Sarah. In due course he and his sons, Isaac and Jacob and their wives likewise were interred there. Of all the ancient holy spots, this is perhaps the one with the greatest degree of authenticity, preserved by Moslem, Christian and Jewish respect. During the c e n t u r i e s the building w h i c h h o t f s e s the tombs has gone through many changes. One wall almost certainly "dates back to Herod. A wing was built in the year 1320. The huge, rambling structure, •with its many rooms, is today a mosque, and still in use.

A critical situation was averted when the Israel Ministry of Defense set up a time-table for alternate Moslem and non-Moslem visits. For the truly pious, a visit to the tombs of the patriarchs and matriarchs is an ecstatically m o v i n g experience. The respectful observer stands by in awe at the spiritual, mystical, emotional d e m o nstrations on the part of Ashkenazi and Sephardi alike.

JIv Elialiu Sul[)tl<T JERUSALEM— Different Israelis have different views a.s to what are the optimum new frontiers for the country. Except on the extreme fringes, for practically everybody else the question is nctually tentamount to the following problem: what are the most defensible borders that would add to Israel the minimum number of new Arabs? Thus, it is very clear to every Israeli that the problem of the b o r d e r s is intimately interwoven with questions of demography: Jewish birth rate vs. Arab birth rate, on one hand, and immigration of Jews, on the other. It is generally agreed that there is no sense building a larger, more defensible Israel if, within a decade or two, it is going to become a country with an Arab majority. Dropping Birth Hale The question of the birth rate is b r o u g h t to the fore this

month not only by the discussions about the lulure of the areas occupied by the Israel Forces last June, but also by the beginning of the s c h o o l year, In many neighborhoods, particularly in well-to-do sections of Tel Aviv and Haila, the high .school population continued to grow as expected, but the grade s c h o o l population dropped and several kindergartens had to be closed altogether because of the small number of toddlers in the vicinity. Itii (h liomiscs Orthodox circles press the government for a campaign of stricter anti-abortion laws, combined with special high bonuses for families w i t h numerous children. While the government is not opposed to such bonuses, the majority of it, as well as the population, is well aware that birth rates in industrial sorielies <• v e r y w h e r e have a tendency to drop. Then they pick up again when the income of the white collar or blue collar worker is such that the third or fourth child does not compel him any more to give up what he has come to consider his desirable standard of living. Immigration

became clear quite some time ago that money alone—even if accompanied in parallel channels by experts and technology — would not be enough to transplant American production to Israel. What is needed, it was felt, is that along with the investments should come at least some of those who are directly or indirectly engaged in the process of production, primarily as producers — but also as consumers. In other words, to attain in Israel West European or American standards of production, one must have here at least some West E u r o p e a n s and Americans, and not only their investments and k n o w h o w . Thus, aliyah from the West has become for the past decade one of the most sensitive spots of Israel's consciousness. With past and future suddenly telescoped into new perspective alter the Six-Day War, Israel now feels the need for Western immigrants more urgently than ever in the past. But it is also f e l t that the breathtaking d a n g e r s of the weeks before the war and the unprecedented extent of the victory in battle have now created conditions that could form the basis for immigration from the West.

liy RABBI SAM I'm, J. FOX "•: Why docs .Jewish law disqualify women from a d Ing a.s witnesses'.' ANSWF.il: It should be understood that women a r t not cJi.s(|!ial;!iiel by Jewish law from all for;us of beariiii1, witness. There are ninny inMfiticcs when the to.sliniijiiy ol women is perfectly acceptable. Generally, in instances when only one witness is necessary to establish the fiid, women are acceptable according to Jewish law. When it is a matter of the trustworthiness ol the inidvidual, women are just as trustworthy as men. Thus their word is taken just as well as men's in establishing the Kashruth of a product whore reliability is the factor in maintaininj; the standard. It is only when the testimony of two witnesses is required, a* it is ijeneraliy in civil matter, and in matters affecting the validity of marriage and divorce, thrit the testimony of women is not considered acceptable. Two ureas of reason arc advanced for this rule. One is that this is a measure to preserve the modesty of women. Having them appear in court to testify and then to he cruelly cross-examined .serves to parade women in public and also serves as a vehicle for an attempt-to discredit their credibility. The latter would tend to challenge the lofty image of the woman, and the women of Israel are always intended to be carried in a lofty position, ''her honor beiiiK as the honor of the daughter of a king." A .second reason lor not allowing women to hear testimony in cases where two vitnosess are required is because, in suck cases, purely objective and unemotional evaluations are required, and women are more subject to belnrj ewnyed by emotion and instinct that are men.
