Washington (JTA) — Prime Minister Levi Kshkol has a heavy itinerary for his eight day visit to the United States which he is making at the invitation of President Johnson. Mr, and Mrs. Eshkol will spend the January 7-8 weekend as house guests at the LBJ r a n c h in Texas. Mr. Eshkol will be feted at the United Nations at a luncheon given by Secretary-General U 'i'hant and will be tendered a dinner by major Jewish organizations in New York City on January 11. He will confer in New York with Gov. Rockefeller and will be a guest of Mayor John Lindsay at a performance of the Metropolitan opera. He also will address a meeting of the Oveaseas Press Club.

Doctors in Israel Ramat-Gan <ZINS) — Israeli medical circles are worried about the scarcity of physicians, and many parts of the" country are beginning to be affected. There are 6.000 doctors in the entire country of whom 31 per cent are over GO years of age. Most directly affected are the remote settlements where doctors refuse to live. The Kupat Cholim of Histadrut are short 150 electors, and other medical institutions clamor for 100 more, making for a total a shortage of 250. Another problem troubling the medical profession in Israel is the doctor-yordim. It is reported that of the S0O doctors who have graduated in Israel, 180 left tie country to practice aboard. It has been suggested that a law be enacted which would obligate young doctors to remain in Israel for at least three years after graduation, and work in outlying villages in order to reduce the present shortage.

: Winnipeg — "If you're afraid of psychologically experiencing death, don't take LSD,'' a Winnipeg rabbi, who has taken the drag, said recently. Rabbi Z a 1 in a n Scliachter, Manitoba Judaic department, in discussing "the mystical experience" he had with the drug, said he didn't want to give the impression that it was all "great joys.'1 "The ecstasy is there but pain and agony are also there. You have to go through hell before you go to ecstasy." Rabbi Schachter, who t o o k the drug at a retreat house, said a person on an LSD "trip" may experience "the d e a t h of the ego" as many as five times during the trip. The rabbi also said that only some people would get a mystical experience from the drug. He spoke at a Humanities Association of Canada Winnipeg branch meeting at the University of Winnipeg. Dr. Jack Ledger, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba, also spoke. The two men had previously spoken at a Nov. 1 public meeting at University College, at which Rabbi S c h a c h t e r dis-

cusscd his experiences w i t h LSD. 'Too Touchy' T u e s d a y night the rabbi opened his remarks by saying he had received many phono calls from university colleagues and friends saying that LSD was too touchy to discuss, and he should not appear at tha meeting. He alr.o said he had a phone call from an anonymous caller. The caller threatened to remove his children from Rabbi Schachters Judaic course, if the rabbi continued to discuss LSD. Referring to the reaction to his Nov. 1 statements, Rabbi Schachter said "We don't want to admit that people can have instant enlightenment . . . Society is more afraid of people who have good trips than people who have bad trips." Our "achievement • directed'1 society is worried a b o u t tha dropouts that LSD may cause, the rabbi said. It should realize that dropouts don't stay out of society forever. "There is a dropout from the dropout." Dr. Ledger said the medical uses of LSD have not yet been established and the controversy about the drug har, "masked" its use for therapeutic treatment. Winipeg Press

QUESTION: What is the "Damascus Gate?" ANSWER: Jerusalem in Biblical times was a "walled city." In, order to enter the city, one had to pass through any one of tho various gates that were made in (he wall to allow entry and exit There are seven gates in the city wall today. There were others which have since been closed. One of these gates, still in existence today, is called the "DAMASCUS Gate." It was given this namo by Christians in modern times because the gate opens up to a road which eventually leads to the Syrian capital of Damascus. It is mentioned in the Byzantine period under the name of Port a Neopolitana because it was the starting point to the new city Neopolia (Arabic Nablis) built on the site oi the Biblical city of Schechcm. The Arabs call this gate Bab el Amud ("Gate of tlie Pillar"), possibly because of a pillar which once stood inside the gate. This pillar was shown in a sixth century map of the area. * * * QUESTION: What Is the purpose of the notes that appear in the printed texts of the liible?. ANSWER: The Rabbis in the Talmud tell us that whoever reads the Torah without its appropriate melody displays his disregard for the Torah and its laws. And it was not just any melody that was deemed appropriate for the chanting of the Biblical texts. The rabbis in the Talmud further stated that Whoever reads the Torah with a secular melody abuses it. The notes that are printed along with the texts thus depict the official melody of cantillation by which tho Bible is to be chanted.

But there's more than wood and steel and wire in the project. There's the promise of power for the future for Nebraska-power to attract new industries, create jobs, increase the output of farms and factories, maka life better and richer in every way. The OPPD Jine will be Nebraska's largest, longest and most advanced power transmission facility. The line will tie in with OPPD's new and increased generating capacity at Omaha and the new nuclear generating unit being constructed near Fort Calhoun. It will make Nebraska an important segment in an Enormous 1O-state power grid spanning 5,400 miles of mid-America. The project was conceived over five years ago in planning sessions by OPPD and other Midwest utilities, all working together through Mid-Continent Area Power Planners. Long-range studies by Hie group revealed soaring needs for electric power, pointed up the need for ever-larger gen> erating facilities and high-capacity interconnections to move power eff» Iciently during seasonal peaks and to provide reliable back-up service in emergencies.

Ily C.UU, AU'KRT The amazing s t o r y of the "open border", with Jordan has been reported^" in the press, but the full impact of the situation and its significance in the present political complex has not bom .sufficiently appreciated. A. note of analysis is in order. When the Six-Day War ended, King Hussein had lost a valuable part of his country's agricultural land. The West Brink was an important source of Jordan's food supplies/Today Hussein reigns over Bedouin trihes anil vast stretches of deceit, but some of the best f a r m l a n d is g o n e . Furthermore, the lose of Jerusalem a n d Dethlchern meant the end of the profitable tourist traffic. Jordan is j a defeated, dis-] membered a n d economically unviable state. The danger of col- C a r l Alpcrt

lapse from within is very real. For Israel, acquisition of Ihe West Bank, whether for long or short period, meant problems as well. For one thing, every effort had to be made to maintain normal economic operations in the area so that the imputation of over a half million should not become a burden on Israel's national treasury. The farmers of the West Bank had to find an outlet for their agricultural produce. If they marketed their crops in Tel Aviv or Haifa or elsewhere in Israel they would inevitably compete with Jewish farmers— both private and kibbutz. What is more, they could easily undersell the Jewish farmer, and a farm crisis could ensue at home. What was to be clone? Long ItaiiRe View Apparently the Israel authorities took another look across the border. Hussein and his Bedouins needed that food. They were prepared to pay for it. If they did not obtain supplies, there was little doubt that the

ANOTHER VIKVV OF YOUTH •We constantly hear the adulls of our community and other communities belittle the activities of our teenagers. We hear much about their carelessness t with automobiles and their accidents. We hear much about their lack of respect for their elders; their delinquency; their lack of responsibility. We hear much about their lack of commitment to Judaism; their loitering at the Crossroads and other places on the Sabbath. Hoivcver, when one of our young people does do something outstanding nnd does make an extraordinary contribution, we lienr little about it and make little of II. Very ''tile praise Is heard outside of his own family circle and a few wlrct friends. Today in our community we have a youngster who has excelled and made great achievement, in his school, in his community and now on a national level. I am, of course, referring to Ed Zelinsky who was recently elected international president of AZA. To me, this indicates one of the highest levels of achievement that an adolescent enn obtain, for he hai been recognized by his peers throughout this country and the several other countries where A2A chapters exist, as the person who should head the organization. On January ^, 19fi8, there will be a "Salute to Ed Zelinsky" at Itcth Israel Synagogue at 7:30 p.m. The program will be followed by a reception and social hour. f urge everyone to attend this event, not only as a tribute to Ed for his personal accomplishment, but as an acknowledge-; ment by the adults of our community for the accomplishments of many of our young people' and a means of showing our admiration and encouragement for .their endeavors. Dr. James I."Wax

commemorate the courage of a handfulof brave men who vatiantly defended our faith and the miraculous tale of a small amount of special olive-oil for the Eternal Light in the Temple which would normally burn only one day, but lasted long enough (eight days) until a new supply was available. Although we don't interrupt our daily routine at this holiday, a special prayer and happy songs are sung each day; gifts and games are shared and special greeting cards are sent. I feel it is most appropriate for a Jewish publication to express I-Ianuka greetings to its readers and give this holiday the respect it deserves, for it is the torch of our faith. I'm sorry this was not included in our Jewish Press. In some parts of the world we are still cruelly reminded of our Jewishness; but here, in our free land, it is a privilege to remember, When this letter is printed, Hanuka will be over and I hope it was a happy one for all. Next year on Hanuka, we will be looking for the inspiration of the holiday in our Jewish Press. May the year isda strengthen our convictions in all human endeavors. Mrs. I. (Miriam) Grossman.

Panorama

By David Schwartz The world keeps going around and around— in the same circle, but all the time it's changing too. T a k e the r Jewish mothei B e r n a r d (I R i c hards, who heads the Jew ,. ish Information \ B u r e a u and k n o w s what s what, s a y s we £?£• are at the begin n i n g of a new era with respect to the Jewish 1 ,, 1 .'thwart'* mother. The day, he says-, when the Jewish mother said, "My son, the doctor," is gone forever. Today, the J e w i s h mother says, "My sort, the physidst," (not the physician). Being a d o c t o r conferred tome status, but the ambition to be one se*ms to have lost a good deal of its zest. Maybe, because in the old days, you saw more of the doctor. He visited hi" patients or nt least, called in the neighborhood. Science Today, a doctor doesn't visit his patients, Probably in the not too distant future, we won't visit the doctor. We'll go to a computing machine.on the torjier, push the buttons Icr our various symptoms and then pull the handle and out will come a prescription and a ticket good for a set of china. The danger is that we may push the wrong buttons and get cured of dipthcria when we have appendicitis. Today the Jewish young men tind young women seem to be going in largely for physics and chemistry, for research science. Of course, there is research in medicine too, but the fields of chemistry and physics appear more rewarding in significant discovery. The other day, the newspapers were full of the story of Dr. Arthur Kornberg, a Jewish physicist in synthesizing the DNA, particles. Most of us don't know what it's all about, but we are told that this is a great b r e a k through in science, by which

man may be able to change his whole bt-inj;, to make geniuses of p e o p l e i.nd to cure many diseases. We hope so. It's nice to read .lbout it any way. We've- been reading in .the papers this'week a b o u t the Washkansky case, where a new In art was given to :i man. The operation was a success. But the patient, died. The doctor believes the transplantation can be successful. In this case, the patient, Washansky, was a Jew, not the doctor. The Israeli d a i l y , Maariv, writing of the case." says the prophet Ezekie!, v.'as the first to predict the possibility of the h e a r t transplantation. In the book of Ezekiel, God is represented as saying "And 1 will give to you a new heart."

Probably E z e k i e l m e a n t something more than what the dottors mean by n new heart. He meant that the world would be filled by mercy and kindness instead of hostility and if science caii make a breakthrough here, we would appreciate it.

Hashemite Kingdom would fall —and into the vacuum would rush the troops of Syria and Iraq from the north and east, and of Saudi Arabia from the south, not to forget the possibility of airlifts of Egyptian troops from Cairo. L o g i c and long range policy dictated that Hussein must be propped up. And so it is that though there are no diplomatic relations between Israel and Jordan; though the state of war between the two has been baited only by a temporary armistice; t h o u g h Jordan's diplomatic representatives at the U.N. and elsewhere still speak of Israel as the "enemy;" though armed clashes continue to take place between the troops of both countries — despite all this, there are sections of the border which are almost as wide open as the American-C an ad i a n border. West Bank Arab farmers load their trucks with their farm produce, openly cross the river, dispose of their wares in hungry Amman,, and return to the West Bank, well paid. And one immediate result, unplanned and unexpected, is that the "'occupied' area is enjoying a degree of relative prosperity. Cooperation During the summer, when the river was shallow, the trucks forded the stream. Now that winter rains have swelled the flow, Israel and Jordan have quietly cooperated in the conr struction of a bridge. The trucks roll up to the Israel side, remove their Israel license plates and affix Jordan number plates for the trip to t h a t country. Upon return the license plates are reversed again. Soldiers and guards of both sides watch the traffic without interference. Wlien Jordan misbehaves occasionally on the border, Israel halts the traffic. There is usually quick accommodation from the other side. The real trouble is being caused by the saboteurs from Syria. U.N. representative Gunnar Jarring would do well to devel. op this -toehold" of peaceful cooperation based on the realistic interests of both parties, He should seek to extend it t«J other areas of face-to-face relationship between the two, and perhaps with other Arab countries as well. This could well serve as the basis for' the "breakthrough" that everyone is looking for in the Middle East.
