THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
GIANT CRANES MOVE MORE EXPORTS
AS BONDS STIMULATE PRODUCTION
Israel Bonds, which have pro
vided more than $1.7 billion for
Israel’s economic development
during the past two decades, have
enabled Israel to expand agri-
] cultural production from $83,-
! 000,000 in 1950 to $545,000,000
last year, while industrial pro
duction rose even more sharply,
from $390,000,000 to $3,050,000,-
000. During the same period,
total exports multiplied from
$70,000,000 to $1,315,000,000.

Israeli Views Differ
On Soviet-
JERUSALEM (JTA)— Auth
oritative political analysts have
differed with the interpreta
tion offered by Premier Golda
Meir of the new 15-year Soviet-
Egyptian friendship and coope
ration treaty announced in
Cairo by Presidents Nikolai
Podgomy and Anwar Sadat re-
the pact is “definitely a Soviet
success . . the first time Russia
has taken on a commitment to
provide Egypt with the means
for offensive action, thereby
strengthening Egyptian circles
who hope for a military solu
tion” of the Middle East con
flict.
Mrs. Meir, in Stockholm after
Egypt Pact
attending the Socialist Interna
tional conference in Helsinki,
dismissed the treaty as “nothing
new” and stated “it is our be
lief that the Soviet Union is not
encouraging Egypt to go into a
new war,” According to Mrs.
Meir, SoViet aid to Egypt im
hardly a new development. She
observed that the most impor
tant points of the agreement
“seem to be that the Soviet
Union will continue to train
Egyptian military personnel and
provide them with new arms
and there will be consultations.
But,” she added, “this is nothing
which is not already happening.
The only reason (for the pact)
is that there was evidently un-

Jewish Students Cite Need
For Changes in Community
CHICAGO (JTA)— According
to 65% of 600 respondents to a
questionnaire sent to one thous
and Jewish students on cam
puses all over the country,
changes will have to be made
in Jewish communal life if the
Jewish community wants to en
courage youth to participate in
it.
The survey, conducted by the
Chicago Chapter of the Amer
ican Jewish Committee, sought
to elicit responses from stu
dents on: “Jewish establish
ment”; religious services; Jew
ish identity; Jewish education;
reading matter, and reactions to
Israel. The complete report, en
titled “Not Just A Number . . .”
was written by Sheryl Leonard,
certainty on the Soviet side
whether the relationship was
going to remain or if there
would be drastic changes” fol
lowing Sadat’s ouster of pro-
Moscow elements in the Egyp
tian political hierarchy.
But most Israeli analysts see
the pact as a successsful move
by Moscow to draw Egypt more
tightly into the Soviet orbit. Ac
cording to these circles, the
treaty means that “Egypt will
supprt Russsia in all her for
eign policy interests and will
not conclude any bilateral
agreement with Commu r. i s t
China or the United States.”
They furthermore consider the
treaty to be “of a new type—
an attempt to instill various
forms of Soviet-Egyptian coope
ration” and predicted an in
crease in Egyptian political ac
tivity in the form of threats
based on a desire for a military
solution.
One highly respected expert
on both Soviet and Middle
Eastern affairs, Prof. Walter
Z. Laqueur, said in an inter
view here that the Russians
will now try to replace Sadat
with the very pro-Moscow Egyp
tians he recently purged.
Dr. Moshe Sneh, head of the
anti-Moscow Maki Communist
faction, thought the new pact
reflected Kremlin fears that its
investment in Egypt was en
dangered by the recent political
events in Cairo. Acting Premier
Yigal Allon said in a radio in
terview that the pact repres
ented a diplomatic victory of the
first magnitude for the Soviet
Union and predicted—in disa
greement with Mrs. Meir—that
it would strengthen a hard line
approach to Israel on the part
of . Sadat. He added that the
new development would become
an important bargaining point
in the Big Four negotiations
and in the United Nations.
Allon thought that President
Sadat also realized a greater
success than he expected be
cause his regime has been firm
ly entrenched and he is now
fully and publicly recognized
by the Soviet Union as Egypt’s
sole leader. Allon predicted that
Cairo would strengthen its ef
forts to persuade the United
States to exert pressure on Is
rael for further concessions and
warned that if the U. S. gives
in it would be a sign of weak
ness in Washington. He added
that the new treaty gave “add
ed validity to Israel’s request
that the supply of desired arm
aments (from the U. S.) for de
terrent purposes be continued
without interruption. Reliable
sources said that “If the Amer
icans are indeed dragging their
feet about meeting our new
arms requests, they will now
have second thoughts.” The
sources pointed out, however,
that so far, the U. S. has not
refused any Israeli requests for
more arms aid and there have
been no indications of pres
sure, although Washington has
not responded to the latest re
quests. The sources added that
in future arms contracts with
the U. S., Israel would insist on
longer term commitments than
has been the custom up to now.

In explaining the title, Miss
Leonard stated: “Young people
are not numbers or categories.
They are distinct individuals
with deep perceptions, concerns
and ideas.” Dr. Bernard Beck,
associate professor of sociology,
Northwestern University, in his
commentary on the survey said:
"While there is some indepen
dence of answers to different
questions, there is a core of
agreement on the ‘positive’ side
of all major questions. Even al
lowing for the weakness of ecol
ogical correlations, it appears
that most, respondents have a
pattern of opinion* ifhfcta should
be reassuring to anyone worried
about the waywardness of Jew
ish youth.”
Some of the findings of the
survey were as follows: On
what represented the "Jewish
establishment” to the student,
17% replied that it was Jewish
organizations; 15%— fiancially
powerful and influential Jews;
9%—• synagogues and temples,
and 5%—the family structure.
To 30% of the students, “estab
lishment” was a combination of
2 or 3 of these categories; 6%
found it was all of the above,
and 5% gave no answer.
On the subject of attendance
at religious services, 48% attend
on holidays only; 19% attend
regularly; 17% stay away en-

lime Lapse Muffins
Don’t keep this muffin recipe "an Ice”. Mix a batch today-

Do you have breakfast slowpokes at your house? You’ll find
even the tardiest family members turn out for piping hot

The batter for easy-on-the-cook Time Lapse Muffins can be
refrigerated—up to five days—before baking, and without any
loss in quality. This means you can stir up the batter when
time permits, refrigerate, and then whisk a batch into the oven
on the spur of the moment.
The wizardry behind all this convenience is self-rising flour
-all-purpose flour preblended with leavening and salt in exact
proportions for perfect baking results and to save measuring
and mixing steps. The sophisticated hawdeg used tn an m«-

A third bonus of self-rising flour is enrichment—to help guar

The Moon And The Pentateuch
By WOLF PASMANIK
Translated from the Yiddish, by Moshe Starkmaa
When I scaled the Moon
While dreaming awake,
I beheld there a sadness
So scarring and deep,
And this could only be
A reflection of me,
Of myself.
* * *
Alas, when God’s voice
I heard out of the darkness
I returned back
To Earth;
It was long before Dawn,
And partly awake, partly dreaming,
I thought.
I searched for the Secret
which tied together
Sun-Mon-Earth
With human figures
I found the answer
In the Pentateuch of old.
