WASHINGTON (JTA)—The Nixon Administration was reported tl^fs week to be taking a new look at a March 30 decision to ' postpone for the time being any action on Israel's request to buy 25 more Phantom jets'and 100 Skyhawk jets. The reported review followed the failuro of Jacob Beam, U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, to get satisfactory replies to questions he put to Soviet leaders in Moscow about reports that Soviet pilots were flying operational missions in Egyptian planes. Israel has confirmed these reports and the United States has indicated it has independent verification of the flights. State Department spokesman Robert McCloskey said that Beam bad been given "no clarification or elaboration" on the Soviet air missions beyond the acknowledgement earlier in the week by Soviet Premier Kosygin that Soviet military advisers were attached to Egyptian military units. State Department officials reportedly concluded that Israel's long-pending request for additional supersonic warplanes would have to be reconsidered in the light of the expanded Soviet military role in Egypt and its impact on the Mideast power balance.

New York (JTA)—The New York State Division of Human Rights will hold a public hearing soon to investigate charges of S a b b a t h discrimination lodged against the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. by an Orthodox Jew. Julius Berman, president of the National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs (COLPA), said that plans for the hearing followed a finding by a senior field representative of the state division that there was "probably cause" to believe that illegal discrimination was being practiced by the insurance company in its rcfusal to offer an employment opportunity to the Orthodox Jew, as a computer programmer, solely because he was a Sabbath observer. The Brooklyn Jewish programmer filed an application

last January with the insurance firm for a job. Mr. Berman said the company refused his application, telling him it was doing so because of his Sabbath requirements. He filed a complaint with the state in January and a conciliation hearing was held by the division in accordance with the state anti-discrimination law. The COLPA president said that the field representative" informed the company at the conciliation hearing that probable cause indicating employment discrimination existed and proposed terms of conciliation on the issue to the insurance firm. The. company rejected this and the field representative then filed a finding of probable cause and the public hearing was ordered by the state division.

Arab Terrorists Slay Wife of Israeli Diplomat Jerusalem (JTA)—The coffin containing the body of Mrs. Edna Peer, the wife of an Israeli diplomat in Paraguay who was murdered last week by two Arab terrorists, arrived here on an El Al plane from Asuncion, scene of the shooting affray. Foreign Minister Abba Eban and Gideon Rafael, Foreign Ministry director-general, were present to receive the coffin and to console the' bereaved family. It was reported here that two Arabs were captured by Asuncion police when they tried to flee from the Israel Embassy

where they fatally shot Mrs. Peer, wife of the Embassy's First Secretary, Moische Peer, and critically wounded Diana Zawluck, secretary to Ambassador Benjamin Varon, Mr. Eban demanded that the Paraguayan Government punish the two gun men to the full extent of the law. He called the shootings "yet another link in the chain of Arab terrorist attacks against innocent plane passengers and defenseless office workers outside the area of the Arab-Israeli conflict and in violation of other countries' neutrality."

Blacks With New York (JTA)-A spokesman for one of the city's 26 local anti-poverty agencies charged this week that black militants shouted anti-Semitic abuse during a special panel •meeting last week of the city's Council Against Poverty and roughed up two Jews with no protests from officials of the Council. The panel meeting concerned complaints about distribution of anti-poverty funds to poor Jews, blacks and Puerto Rlcans in a section'at Brooklyn. Dr. Marvin Schiek, assistant to Mayor Lindsay for inter-group relations, said the city admin-' istration was seriously concerned about the problems of anti-poverty fund handling in the Brooklyn section and was exploring means of reducing tensions in that area arising from differences between Jews and the other minority groups in the allocation of poverty funds. Dr. Schick said that his office had been informed about the panel meeting but that he had no information that there had been use of anti-Semitic language. At the start of the panel meeting, according to the Jewish source who was one of the seven members attending the session, there were some 30 Jews present from the Brook-

Teenagers Stage 'Fast for Freedom' Washington (JTA)—Teenage students are sitting quietly outside the Soviet Embassy, continuing the "fast for freedom" started this week to protest discrimination against Jews in Russia and the refusal of the Soviet government to allow Jews to emigrate to Israel. More than 200 youths signed up to continue the demonstration. Each teenager fasts one day in front of the Embassy, in a solitary vigil to express their solidarity with Jewish youth in Russia. The focus of the "fast for freedom1: vigil is on Boris Kochubiyevsky, the young Soviet Jewish engineer who was sentenced to a three year prison term for protesting Soviet anti-Semitism and for asking for permission to emigrate to Israel with his wife and child.

lyn section and f i v e or six blacks attending as community representative to hear the panel arguments. After the meeting was underway, the informant said, some 30 additional blacks led by former CORE leader Sonny Carson, came into the room and began heckling speakers. He said the chairman of. the panel,- and-lhe Council's , executive ' director, James Greenwich, a Negro, declined to halt the anti-Semitic statements. Mr. Greenwich disputed that account.

When the, meeting ended, with no action taken on the issue for which it was called, fist fights broke out, the spokesman said, and some black militants assaulted a 70 year old Jew, breaking his nose. A younger Jew was also roughed up but not injured.*

Jewish Burial Costs Rising San Bernardino, Calif. (JTA) —Congregation Emanu El here has announced an increase in the price of burial plots because the increasing, costs of maintaining the congregation's cemetery had placed "a serious burden on the finances" of the congregation. , ; The congregational bulletin said that effective July li the cost of a gravesite, now $275, would be increased to. $450. Similar r e p o r t s have come from o t h e r congregations whicli have their own. cemeteries, responding to the pressures of steadily growing costs, particularly of labor.

EISENDRATH HONORED .Rabbi Maurice N. Eiscndratii, president of the Unior of American Hebrew Congregations, receives the "Living Faith. Award" of the LOB Angeles Council of Churches from Dr. Horace N.

Rabbi Eiaendrath was one of three religious leaders so honored, for their contribut i o n s to i n t e r r e l i g i o u s harmony, at the Council's recent 60th anniversary banquet in Hollywood, California. The other recipients were Rev. Or. Martin Luther King., Sr., and the Very Rev. Charles S. Casaasa, S.J, The occasion marked the tittf, cross-denominational presentation of the Living Faith Award.

Israel Leads Russia In Atomic Physics Tel Aviv (ZINS)-The.. re- \ nowned American Professor of Physics, Dr. Hans Bethe, a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Atomic Physics, stated here at a press interview that Israel has reached a leaidng world position in the field of atomic physics. "Israel ranks 4th after the USA, England and Denmark; and is ahead of France and Germany. She is far ahead of Russia." Professor Bethe cautioned against production 'of atomic weapons in Israel, arguing that this makes no sense for a small state like Israel at a time when its foes are in a position to receive atomic warheads from foreign powers., "There is no advantage in Israel aspiring to atomic' weapons because your enemies will also receive the same," Dr. Bethe'added.

The Soviet Role In the Middle East Since mid-April 1970, Soviet pilots based on Egyptian airfields and flying MIG-21's have been carrying out combat missions against Israeli planes, with instructions to intercept and engage them in battle. The significance of this escalatory step Is cause for alarm. Until recent weeks, the Soviet Union pressed its design for control of the Middle East strictly by proxy. Exploiting the IsraelArab dispute as the vehicle, it set about equipping Arab forces to carry out warfare against Israel. At the same time, it engaged in diplomatic maneuvers to corner and isolate Israel politically. Following the Six Day War, Russia immediately set about recouping Arab losses. An airlift of weapons and technicians was followed by a systematic retraining program of the Egyptian armed forces so that within 18 months their strength surpassed that of 1967. In the spring of 1969, Nasser was in a position to publicly abrogate the cease-fire and launch his war of attrition, In the sure knowledge that Russia would supply him with the resources needed. At the beginning of 1970 a series of secret meejings were held between Soviet and Egyptian leaders. At these meetings new strategies were devised. First came the SA-HI missiles accompanied by a substantial contingent of Soviet military personnel to man them. By mid-April, Soviet pilots were flying combat sorties, and with this, a new phase of Soviet strategy has unfolded. Israel today faces odds hitherto unknown. Whether or not the Soviet Union entertains thoughts of actively participating In frontal warfare against Israel Is an open question. It Is logical to assume, however, that a strong Israel with resources to defend herself effectively, could be a solid deterrent to further Soviet escalation in the Middle East. The threat of communist control in the Middle East is very real. Every bit as real as the threat fh Southeast Asia. But unlike southeast Asia, Israel is prepared to defend herself solely with her own manpower. She asks and wants no American blood to be shed In her defense. The key is aircraft in sufficient number to deter further Soviet escalation which could ignite the Middle East powder keg. Mr. Nixon holds that key. We hope he will see fit to use It before it istoolate.

The Jewish Quiz Box QUESTION: Why is the process of going to Israel referred to as "Aliyah" (going up)? ANSWER: The process of going to Jerusalem is called "Aliyah" because Jerusalem was located on a hill and naturally the approach would be an upward one. Tradition has it that going to Israel or Jerusalem is not only an upward journey geographically, but also spiritually. QUESTION: Why is the time for reciting the "Shema" in the morning limited to the first quarter of the day? ANSWER: The Bible commands that one recite the words of "Shema" when one arises^The rabbis assessedjhejituation and determined that the time of arising in the morning is the first quarter of the day. The general idea is that man is obligated to acknowledge the existence and unity of God during tlie time that people usually get up in the morning. QUESTION: Why is an act of charity called a "Mitzvah?" ANSWER: Basically, a "Mitzvah" is a "commandment." The reason this term is used to designate an act of charity is because this term denotes the underlying philosophy of charity. Charity is not a "favor" on the part of the donor. In Jewish tradition it is an obligation which the donor fulfills when he gives his contribution. It is for this same reason that charity is sometimes called "Tzadakah" which essentially means righteousness, or the fulfillment of one's responsibility. A man who gives charity is only recognizing that the Almighty has provided him with the means to give. He is nothing more than an agent carrying out the provisions of his charge. *

Relations Probed

Paris (JTA)—Israeli Ambassador Walter Eytan has returned to Jerusalem to consult with the Foreign Ministry on French "feelers" for Improving Franco-Israeli relations "in all fields" and on an Israeli decision whether to accept reimbursement of its $50,000,000 Instead of pressing for the 50 French Mirage jets it had bought. France has maintained an embargo on the planes' delivery to Israel, despite prepayment, while selling 125 jets to Libya. In Jerusalem it was reported that Israel has again refused a request from the French government that it accept a refund of the money deposited for the jet fighter planes. Foreign Minister Abba Eban, at a meeting last week with French Ambassador Francis Hure, renewed Israel's request for delivery of the p l a n e s but diplomatic sources were not optimistic about the prospect.

"tCry Atara Sturman is 86 years old. Her face is lined with age, but her eyes twinkle and the beauty that must have been hers as. a young woman still shines through'. She lives in a small house at Kibbutz Ein Harod where she works in the laundry and spends much of her free time tending her little vegetable garden. Atara Sturman Is well known! In Israel. She is an inspiration

Jewish Rock Service Presented at Church Morristown, N.J. (JTA)-A rock service, conceived by a rabbi, was p r e s e n t e'd by 70 young people from two synagogues and three churches to nearly 1,000 worshippers at an intcrfaith service at the First, Presbyterian Church here. Developed by R a b b i A. David Levy of B'nai Or, the service was the outcome of more than a year of discussion between members of the 16year-old R e f o r m synagogue and members of the churches in the area. Rabbi Levy said "the service was an obvious continuation of our previous meetings.' li~seem<KTflght that we should share this worship together in this very contempoary manner." For the past three months, the young performers met w e e k l y at the Temple while Cantor Theodore Aronson of Sharey Tefilo explained the service.

to Israel's grieving mothers and widows for she has been wife, mother and grandmother to three men who died building and defending Israel. "I don't blame this country for anything that has happened to me," she says. "Although I think back sadly sometimes, I do not regret coming here. The Sturmans don't cry." Mr. and Mrs. Haim Sturman came to Israel from Russia in 1903 and were among the founders of the kib.butz where she still makes her home. In 1938, Haim Sturman was murdered by the. Arabs from whom he purchased the land for Kibbulz Ein Harod. Their son Moshe, one of Uie first ten children born to Kibbutz Ein Harod, was a member of the Haganah and later of the Palmach. With the establishment of the State of Israel in May, 1948, Moshe became commander of the main Emek force and participated in the liberation oof Bet Shean and Nazaretht. In August he was killed leading his men into battle. Moshe's son, Haim, named for his grandfather, was two years old when his father was killed. Like other boys, he entered the army at 18 and, when his tour of duty was up, he

asked liis kibbutz for permission to continue in the service. The kibbutz was reluctant but his mother said, "ho will go anyway. Can you hold a Sturman back?" Haim lost his life in September, 19G9, la the Israeli raid on Green Island. Three generations of Sturmans—father, son and grandson—lay burjecL in the^ earth at the kibbutz that was their home . . . one of the many kibbutzim which guard Israel's borders and which are shelled almost .daily by the nation's hostile neighbors. Three generations of Sturmans have lived and died for a cause they held dearer than life. This branch of the family tree will blossom no longer, but the woman who has survived the deaths of her loved ones has b e c o m e a legend throughout Israel. Atara Sturman's memories are vivid, but she still lives for the future. Her one great hope is that the country to which she has devoted her life and given her family wi" soon see peace.
