Sapir Explains
Need for Loan
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Finance
Minister Pinhas Sapir recently
explained the need for a new
voluntary security loan to permit
Israel to keep pace with Arab
rearmament. In an interview
published in the evening news
paper, Yediot Achronot, Mr.
Sapir said “our people must rec
ognize the fact that the war is
not yet over and it costs a lot
of money. Israel cannot permit
itself to lag behind.”
He said the security budget for
the current fiscal year has been
set at IL 2.2 billion ($628.5 mil
lion). Last June’s Six-Day War
cost Israel IL 3 billion ($857 mil
lion) which must be paid within
three years, Mr. Sapir said.

Urge N Y Jewry
To Eliminate
All Racism
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
New York Jewish Community
Relations Council has called on
the Jewish community of the
New York area to seek to “elimi
nate every vestige of racism” in
the Jewish community and to
work for implementation of the
Kerner report on civil disorders.
The appeals were made in reso
lutions adopted at an all-day con
ference of the JCRC, comprised
of 14 local units of major Jewish
organizations.
Arthur J. Levine, president,
asked New York Jewry “to sup
port every responsible action
that has as its aim the integra
tion of the Negro into the main
stream of society.” Albert Vor-
span, director of the commission
on social action of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations,
said there was need to “re-edu
cate” the Jewish community be
cause Jews were “backlashing as
other white Americans are back
lashing.”
Mrs. Dorothy Jones of the
Protestant Council told the 100
Jewish communal leaders that
anti-Semitism “is on the rise” in
the Negro community and that
Negroes were “disappointed” be
cause Jews had “hedged” on is
sues involving minority group
needs in various city boroughs.

Czech Newspaper
Scores Polish
A n ti-Sem it ism
LONDON (JTA) — A Czecho
slovakian trade union news
paper has published an appeal by
three Czech writers urging Polish
leaders “to put an end to the
shameful anti-Semitism threaten
ing to stain the common fight of
the Poles and the Jews against
Hitler’s fascism,” it was reported
here from Prague.
The appeal, by Pavel Kohout,
Jan Prochazka and Arnost Lustig,
was carried by "Prace.” The
three said that the “liberation” in
Poland in 1956 influenced the
current liberalization in Czecho
slovakia. The three writers
asked the Gomulka regime
not to confuse student unrest,
the "natural criticism of the
younger generation, with hos
tile subversion and not to drive
Polish citizens by harsh sanctions
to positions that are inherently
alien to them.”
Dispatches from Warsaw re
ported that the dismissal of the
art, literary and production di
rectors of eight film units was
recommended at a recent Com
munist Party meeting at Film
Polski, the state film monopoly.
A majority of those affected by
the recommendation, which is
tantamount to an order, are
Jews, as are a majority of the
Poles ousted from Party jobs in
the last two months.
hart had formerly served as vie*
president, treasurer, and secre
tary of the organization.
A prominent Atlanta business
man, Geldbart started L and F
Record Service in 1958, and today
the record and tape wholesale dis
tributing business services more
than 600 accounts in Southeastern
United States.
In addition to his business ac
tivities, Geldbart is presently on
Advanced Standing Candidate for
the Ph.D degree in American Lit
erature, at Emory University. He
had received an M.A. degree in
Literature from Emory in 1967. A
native of Charleston, S. C., Geld
bart also holds the B.A. and T.T.B
degrees from the University of
Georgia (1948 and 1950).
Civilians Die
In Terrorist
Mine Blast
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Two civil
ians, officials of the Dead Sea
potash works, and an Israeli sol
dier were killed when their jeep
hit a mine near the potash plant.
Two other civilians and a soldier
were injured in an earlier mining
incident near the same spot.
They were the only Israeli cas
ualties of the post-Independence
Day weekend during which
Israeli forces killed 17 Arab
marauders in three clashes in the
Negev, the Jordan and Beisan
valleys.
A military spokesman reported
renewed Jordanian small arms
and artillery fire aimed at three
Beisan Valley settlements and at
Israeli forces near the Allenby
Bridge, the scene also of some
desultory shooting by Jordanians.
In each case the fire was re
turned and there were no casu
alties reported.
The civilian dead were identi
fied as Dr. Yehoyachin Keinatt,
43, deputy general director of
the potash works and Benjamin
Birann, 38, an engineer who was
director of manpower and admin
istration. The soldier was cadet
David Braberyahu, 23.
They were killed when their
jeep and an Army command car
raced to the aid of another jeep
which had just struck a mine,
injuring its civilian and military
occupants. The mines had been
laid by terrorists on a road near
the 'potash evaporation ponds.
Late last night an Israeli patrol
near the southern tip of the Dead
Sea encountered a gang which is
believed to have planted the
mines.
An active participant in com
munity affairs, Geldbart 1m a
member of the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce, and on the board
of directors of Theater Atlanta,
the regional repertory theater.
He also served as a captain in
the United States Air Force Judge
Advocate’s Division from 1950 to
1953, seeing service in Japan and
Korea. ^

ufacturers of phonograph records

children, Lisa 13, Meryl 11, David
7, and Gina 5. His mother, Mrs.

Ralph Geldbart, and two sisters,
Mrs. Louis Wolper and Mrs.
David Feinstein.

Needs 5,000,000 Jews
PARIS (JTA) — Former
Prime Minister David Ben Gur-
ion said in an interview pub
lished here that Israel must have
“five million Jews before the
end of this century, not for se
curity reasons but in order to
build the civilization we want.”
According to the interview, pub
lished in the weekly L’Exprees,
Ben Gurion said, “I think that
the Jews can develop a civiliza
tion which will bring new prin
ciples to humanity.”

Approves Budget
KEHOVOTH (JTA) — The
Weizmann Institute of Science
adopted an IL 41.4 million ($12
million) budget for 1968-69 here
