Egyptian Overflights Cause Concern for Israel Security Tel Aviv (JTA)-~Israeli security circles are taking a serious view o£ recent incidents on the Egyptian front, the latest of which was this weeks overflight by two Egyptian Sukhoi7 bombers over Israeli positions in northwest Sinai. A military spokesman said Israeli ground forces directed anti-aircraft fire at the intruding plane's but did not say Whether they had been hit. •' Israel has lodged a complaint with the United Nations Cease Fire Control Staff in Jerusalem.
The overflight was the third incident in the past two weeks. Earlier, Israeli planes were attacked by Egyptian fire and fighter planes over the Gulf of Suez and a naval clash between, Israeli and Egyptian patrol boats took place in the Gulf of Suez after the E g y p t i a n s opened fire on an Israeli naval patrol. Security circles said yesterday's overflight appeared to be a photo reconnaisance mission. They said the penetration was a brief one and took place over a swampy region.

At a time when the Arab states are worried about disruption of the freedom of the airways, they would do well to cooperate with us in making such a law and implementing it," Eban said. Eban refused to express his personal opinion of the interception of the Lebanese airliner, an act that has embarrasred Israel and raised some criticism at home as well as abroad. But he said the United Nations Security Council's unanimous condemnation of Israel last week for the interception was of little importance. "Were there 35 Jewish states in the U.N. as there are Arab states, and their friends, the issue would never have reached the agenda," Eban said.

BJews Around the World Friendship League Visit
New Name Asked
Second Immigration
Tel Aviv (JTA)—A three-member delegation representing the Russian League for Friendship with Foreign Countries arrived in Israel for a fortnight visit as guests of the Israel-Russian Friendship League. The delegation is headed by Moscow University Professor G. V. Ivanov. One of Its members is Jewish writer and journalist D. S.'Dobrushin. Asked about the numerous decorations he was wearing, Dobrushin, who speaks some Hebrew and Yiddish said "My true name is David Salomon. I am a general in retirement. I am a veteran fighter of the Russian Cavalry units." Dobrushin, who said he is also a writer and a military correspondent, added, "I intend* to give my impressions in writing when I return to Russia." ' * Prof. Ivanov said the visitors were not an official delegation but one that represents the Russian public. "We came to learn and see for ourselves what goes on in. Israel and also to meet friends," he said. Ivanov refused to reply to, questions on aliya from the Soviet Union. He said this question is dealt with by the competent authorities, but to the best of his knowledge there are "no difficulties or restrictions as to Jewish emigration from Russia."
Jerusalem (JTA) — The Israel Communist Party, Maki, has asked the Knesset presidium for permission to change its name to Moked which is the Hebrew word for focus. The name in full would be Focus for Peace and Socialist Change.
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Zina Moshkowitz, 65, a dressmaker from Riga, has immigrated to Israel twice. 7 Ms. Moshkowitz arrived in Israel from the Soviet Union two-years ago and was sent to Bat Yam. Four, months later, dissatisfied, she returned to Vienna to wait for permission to return to the Soviet Union. On July 6, she returned to Israel from Vienna and said upon her arrival at Lod, "I will stay 'here forever." Living in Vienna with the group of "yordim" waiting for permission to return to the S o v i e t Union, made Ms. Moshkowitz change her mind. Afraid because she had been threatened by the,other "yordim" who feared her decision to return to Israel would hurt their chances to return to the Soviet Union. Ms. Moshkowitz secretly approached the Jewish Agency, which helped her return to Israel.
World Zionists Honor Neumann The World Zionist Executive in Jerusalem has established an annual $5,000 prize named for the veteran American Zionist l e a d e r , Emanuel Neumann, whose 80th birthday was Friday. Neumann is still remembered with admiration in Israel, particularly for his efforts dur- , ing the political struggle in 1947 and 1948 for the State's establishment. The prize will go to the best treatise on a theme connected with relations between Israel and the diaspora.

Saving Jewish Youth From The Christian Missionaries The whole idea of Christian missionaries always seemed a ' bit silly" to me. Yet, obviously, I am wrong. Ridiculous as it may be for one religious group to try to impose its religion on another group, Christian missionaries h£ve chalked up success after success in the past two thousand years. Indeed today there are few nations where Chris- •. tian missionaries have not made significant inroads. .
senseless w a r thousands of miles away accomplishing little more than mass murder; with m a n y of our highly-vaunted freedoms (like freedom of the press) becoming endangered, with' our cities groaning under the. pressure of poverty and racial discord, the U n i t e d States is not exactly an ideal place to grow up in. So, no wonder millions of American youth are in a state of agitation and unrest. With our youth seething In turmoil, the Christian evangelists have a ready-made opportunity. To many disillusioned Jews, they seem to offer much, and thousands have supposedly snapped at their bait in the past several years. Only within the past few have many Jews be: months come aware of what is going on, and How serious the problem is. Don't think It's not serious!

Israel Sends Aid to Drought Stricken African Countries Jerusalem (JTA)—Israel has contributed $20,000 w o r t h of foodstuffs to drought-stricken Upper Volta, o f f i c i a l s said here. Israel has also given 910,000 to the UN Food and Agricultural O r g a n i z a t i o n (FAO) for assistance to the drought areas below the Sahara. Some of the stricken countries such as Mali and Chad broke their diplomatic ties with Israel last, year, precluding direct help from Jerusalem. Officials here have expressed great satisfaction at the curTent visit of the Agriculture Minister of the Central African "Republic, Joaqulm da Silva
heading an economic mission. Da Silva is seeking increased Israeli economic and agricultural aid to his country. He met with Foreign Minister Abba Eb'an and had an unscheduled meeting with Pre^ mier Golda Meir. His visit follows a visit here from a Swaiziland minister and a Gabon deligation. A Ghanian mission is expected soon and Israel is hopeful that the tide has turned in Africa where things had been going badly of late. The countries sending missions here seek more aid and are obviously ignoring hostile resolutions by the Organization for African Unity (OAU).

Katz's Korner
Jewish Welfare Federation Foundation 7" By ROBERT MANNHEIMER, President The Foundation has been inactive during the past. year. The problem which has been faced by the Foundation is that it is completely organized in every way from a legal standpoint,'but that it has no funds to distribute. . ' Contact was made during the year with a member of the local community, in an attempt to persuade him that he should assist the implementation of the Foundation by making contact with various of our local citizens in a position to do so, to persuade them to make contributions to the Foundation so that its purposes could be implemented. At this time,
however, the matter is still in abeyance.' It is my understanding that a new president will be named for the Foundation beginning with the period marked by the beginning of our new fiscal year. I believe this is a wise move, because I have not personally had the time which was really required to give the needed impetus to the Foundation, and I believe that that it would be advisable for someone to take over the responsibility for its continuing program. I will be happy to continue to serve on the Board of the Foundation, and to make whatever contribution I can to implementing its program.

Ralph Levy, one of the ten parents bringing the action, said the suit was filed only after all other options failed. He said that "at no time were the plaintiffs allowed to make a presentation to the UHS board or to the federation."

They include Andy Cohen, daughter of Jerry and Barbara: Lynn, daughter of Jack and Audrey Cohen; Joe Grcenberg, son of Bucky and Carol; and Steve Parsow, son of Sol and Lee Jane.

Jerusalem (JTA)—The police have asked drivers who buy gasoline at night to buy a "round price" quantity flnd pay in small banknotes. "Round price" buying, IL10 or 20 worth, would eliminate the need for the attendant to carry cash for. change arid would thus be less of a target for robbers. Gas station holdups have proliferated in Israel in recent years.
