Washington (JTA) - A bipartisan declaration urging the Arab states to enter into direct peace negotiations with. Israel and opposing attempts by outside powers to impose a Mideast settlement has been signed so far by 200 members of the Senate and House of Representatives. The declaration was drafted by Sen. Hugh Scott, Pennsylvania Republican, and Sen.; Abraham Ribicoff; Connecticut Democrat. Among the signatories are Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, the Democratic whip, and Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate in the 1963 election.
the now-produced Mirages art warehoused in France, and Israel turned to.the U.S. which decided after long hesitation to sell her 50 Phantom jets. The second embargo was levied following last December's Israeli commando raid ,on Beirut airport "Which -angered- Genr da Gaulle because of France's traditional close ties to Lebanon and because helicopters sold to Israel by French firms were used in the assault that destroyed some 13 commercial craft, part of w h i c h were owned by "Air F r a n c e , the French national airline.

regret that Israel's-Arab neighbors, after three f u t i l e and costly wars, still refuse to negotiate a final peace settlement with Israel. We oppose any attempt by outside powers to impose halfway measures not conducive to peace."

Deliveries of the first F104s have been delayed and are not expected to start until some time this summer.

4 Q p a b b i s Proles! University Budget Gat New York (JTA)—The New York Board of Rabbis and the local chapters of four national Jewish organizations have urgcd Governor Nelson A. Rocke, teller and the State Legislature to' reconsider planned cuts in the budget of City University in order to ensure "higher education for all high school graduates regardless of race, color or creed." Telegrams to the officials were signed by the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, Anti-Defama1 tion League of B'nai B'rith, 1 Jewish Labor Committee and the New York Board of Rabbis. The plea was motivated by growing concern that the lack of needed funds would curtail admissions to City University. Chancellor Albert Bowker announced last week that the university may be forced by lack of funds to establish quotas representative of the city's pop. ulation. Jewish organizations are concerned that such quotas would work to the detriment of 'the Jewish students. Efforts are being made to arrange a meeting between the Governor and representatives of the Jewish organizations.

About one third of the special trainees end up doing well in the service. Another third complete their period of service but remain marginal. The remaining third cannot adjust and are. discharged.' , Israeli parents were found to more liberal in letting teenagers develop self-confidence and autonomy in youth groups. The American mothers of the "yenta" and "yochna" categories would be horrified at the freedoms permitted young Israelis. Teenage boys and girls go on three day hikes in the Negev desert, sleeping under the desert .star's, without adult chaperones. The U.S. study found that such an "adventure is not without risk, but occurs in a socially protected setting, a group ol self-selected idealistic youths." Indeed, Israeli youth organizations make American Jewish undertakings for young people appear almost worthless. The' I s r a e l i youth organizations "reach over 90 percent of the country's adolescents by not trying to cast them into one mold." The study suggests where American parents fail and Israelis succeed. It is the degree of.freedom accorded that allows the Israeli youth to discover himself. A young Israeli can establish his own course while Americans feel that "the good life" should satisfy any well-adjusted off-spring. But the research--. ers found Israeli parents are learning that "no revolution is permanent!'.- ^A revolutionary ideology inspiring one generation cannot be transmitted to another, once most of the objectives are achieved. Therefore, "Zionism is losing meaning for the children and grandchildren of the pioneers who settled Israel." A social movement that has attained its objective, Jewish statehood, was compared with the proverbial sinner who could be saved only once. "The fervor that might have inspired parents when they built a new way of life cannot be t r a n s mitted to the children. To fall in line with what is now traditional will not arouse comparable fervor," said the study. A conclusion was that even Israel's youth movements "suffer from ideological arteriosclerosis. Their . ideology has changed little from the time the parental arid grand-parental generation formulated their programs,-As long as Israel's security remains in doubt and strategic areas remain to be settled, this-ideology-can-have— an a p p e a l t o a minority of youngsters." New challenges and new functions are required to regenerate the Israeli y o u t h movements. They have had difficulty "in reaching .the children who do poorly in school, those > of Afro-Asian- families, recent immigrants and the poor." The Israelis must pur-, sue the same search as Americans. The negative goal of defeating an enemy is not enough to, inspire generation after generation of youth. A moral equivalent to war is sought. Social cohesion and national morale can be sustained as much by challenges to create a better life as by appeals to fight '"'I' against a real or mythical enemy, the study concluded.

QUESTION: Why is it forbidden for a Jew to take interest upon loaning money to his fellow Jew? ANSWER: Basically, of course, this is Atypical prohibition, mentioned in the book of Exodus. One source in the rabbinic literature compares one who takes interest to a serpent that bites the man in his heel. The victim doesn't feel it at first, but then his heel swells up and overcomes him. Likewise, the interest on a loan seems painless at first, but devastating in time. (Midrash Rabba.) "
