Nothing, absolutely nothing,
was left unplanned. There was
expectation that large-scale en
emy attacks on big cities like
Tel Aviv might cause many civ
ilian casualties. Arrangements
had to be made in advance for
temporary housing for possibly
thousands of bombed out citizens.
Details were worked out for care
and evacuation of the wounded.
But preparations went even
beyond that. Proper burial of the
dead was not overlooked. Funerals
and long trips to existing ceme
teries would be out of the ques
tion under air raid conditions.
And so, when the crisis reached
its acute period, a group of rab
binical authorities quietly visited
a number of public gardens,
parks and football fields in the
heart of Tel Aviv. Their move
ment was unannounced and fur
tive. They had no wish to create
panic. But with ceremony and
prayer they consecrated the
ground in these public places in
conformity with religious require
ments, so that in oase of need
the land could be used as cem
eteries.
Fortunately the need never
arose—but such was the extent
of Israel's preparedness—a prep
aredness which in other areas
paid off well.

President Johnson
Gets Rare Volumes
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Presi
dent Johnson has been presented
by the Jewish National Fund of
America with a silver Jerusalem
Bible and other rare volumes on
Biblical and Jewish themes, des
tined for the Lyndon Baines
Johnson Library at the University
of Texas. The presentation was
made by Herman L. Weisman,
JNF president, Dr. Milton Aron,
executive vioe president, and Jim
Novy, honorary chairman of the
JNF Foundation. Mr. Novy is a
Texan and personal friend of the
President.
Attention was drawn to the
fact that the presentation took
place on the eve of the Jewish
New Year. It was recalled that
JNF planted a large forest in the
United States - Israel Freedom
Forest outside Jerusalem in hon
or of Mr. Johnson when he served
in the Senate.
The other volumes presented
were “A Succinct Account of the
Rites and Ceremonies of the
Jews” by David Levi, published
in London in 1783, and the “Hex-
aplar Psalter: The Book of
Psalms” in six languages in pa
rallel columns, published in Lon
don in 1843.
their feelings they planned raids
and riots in the Jewish quarter
of their capital city, Beirut,
where many hundreds of Jewish
families still live.
Word of the plan reached Is
rael intelligence officers. Through
the medium of a neutral embas
sy the Israel Government saw to
it that warning reached the Leb
anese authorities: if a hair were
harmed on the head of a single
Lebanese Jew, an Israel tank
corps would make its appearance
in the heart of Beirut, which is
not far from the. Israel border.
The Lebanese knew full well
that the Israelis were capable of
taking such action. They were
prudent. They threw a heavy
guard around the Jewish quarter
to make sure there were no dis
orders.
All remained quiet.

And on a lighter note: The
United Nations forces vere due
to withdraw from thedr border
positions on the Gaza Strip on
May 19. That morning a small
black puppy dog picked its way
through no-man’s land from Gaza
and entered the fields of Kibbutz
Erez. A member of the kibbutz
picked up the friendly puppy!,
whose tail was wagging furiously.
Attached to its collar was a fold
ed piece of paper, written in Eng
lish, and reading substantially as
follows:
‘‘My name is Nicky. 1 was brought
to Gaza from Denmark. Since the
UN troops are leaving, I don’t
want to stay here with the Egyp
tians. I am afraid of them. I hope
I get into Israeli hands. Please
take good care of me. When I
grow up I shall repay my ben
efactors.”
At 4 p. m. that day the UN
detachment, which included Dan
ish troops, hauled down their
flag and left their positions.
