Still Important Areas in Dispute

Mrs. Rose Jacobs Dies at 86;
Hadassah Leader Had Atlanta Ties
Rose Gell Jacobs, one of the
charter members of Hadassah at
its founding in 1912, died Thurs
day, Aug. 14, in New York City
where she made her home.
Mrs. Jacobs was the widow of
Edward Jacobs, a former Atlan
tan. She was a frequent visitor to
the city and was instrumental in
forming the Atlanta Chapter of
Hadassah in 1918.
Extremely fond of her husband's
family in Atlanta, Mrs. Jacobs on
several occasions contributed
material to The Southern Israelite
about the Jacobs Family Circle
semi-annual reunions.
Serving as acting president after
Henrietta Szold from 1920 to
1923, Mrs. Jacobs again served as
national Hadassah president from
1930 to 1932 and from 1935 to
1937. She was named an honorary
vice president for life. »
Elected to the executive of the
Jewish Agency for Palestine in
1937, Mrs. Jacobs was the first
and only woman to hold a post in
the official body which Great Bri
tain dealt with under the Mandate.
During her second term as presi
dent, Hadassah instituted the
youth aliya movement to rescue
more than 6,000 boys and girls
from Nazi-dominated countries.
Mrs. Jacobs was an initiator of a

building program of the
Rothschild-Hadassah University
Hospital and Medical School on
Mount Scopus.
In 1940, she was instrumental in
organizing the Hadassah
Emergency Committee for
Palestine.
A delegate to the international
Zionist conference in Carlsbad in
1922, the Zionist leader attended
many international conferences
and congresses thereafter.
A story in The Southern
Israelite in I960 indicated that at
that time, Mrs. Jacobs had already
made her 19th trip to Israel.
A native of New York City, Mrs.
Jacobs attended Columbia Univer
sity and taught in the public
schools from 1908 to 1914.
Survivors include her daughter,
Dr. Ruth Levy of San Jose, Calif.;
son, Joshua Jacobs, Clayton, Mo.;
sisters, Celia Gell, New York City;
Birdie Heilman, Scottdale, Ariz.;
brother, Leon Gell, Laguna Beach,
Calif; six grandchildren, three
great-grandchildren and her sister-
in-law, Mrs. Hyman Jacobs of
Atlanta.
Funeral was held August 17 in
New York.
talks there were still some “very
important sections still in dis
pute,” Premier Yitzhak Rabin told
the Knesset Monday.
Israel’s position on these dis
puted issues was “justified and
vital," he stated. Israel had made
it abundantly clear to the U.S.,
and through the U.S. to Egypt,
that its “positive attitude" to
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger's impending shuttle did
not imply that it would soften its
position on these still disputed
issues.
Rabin addressed a special
recess plenary session of the
Knesset convened at Likud's
behest to discuss the negotiations
and upcoming shuttle. After
Menachem Beigin, the Likud
leader, and Rabin had spoken, the
Knesset voted by overwhelming
majority to hold a full-dress debate
— without specifying the time.
Rakah voted in opposition and
Yaad abstained.
The atmosphere in the plenary
was charged — and grew par
ticularly vociferous when Rabin
told Haim Landau, Herut’s
number ( two man: "It is well
known that you are a political
Sancho Panza." This had clear im
plications for Beigin, who was
obliquely cast in the role of the
famous tilter at windmills in Cer-
vanteT story of Don Quixote. The
opposition benches exploded in up
roar as Yitzhak Navon, a Labor
Party member, an expert in
Spanish literature, chided
mockingly: “What do you want,
Sancho Panza was a very sym
pathetic character . . .”
The Premier said Israel's
Dr. Schatten Announces Fall Bond Campaign
To Help Ease Israel’s Economic Crisis
Dr. William E. SchaTten, Chair
man of the Atlanta Israel Bonds,
announced the fall schedule for the
most concentrated Israel Bond
program in Atlanta history. In
releasing the schedule he paid par
ticular attention to the “magnifi
cent results of 1974," and the un
precedented kickoff campaign held
May 31st in honor of Sidney Feld
man, which broke all previous
records both in sales and atten
dance.
“Our goal in Israel Bonds sales
this year," Dr. Schatten said,
“takes on added significance as a
further demonstration of our con
cern for Israel’s struggle for peace
and progress, as well as for human
dignity and freedom for our Jewish
brethren the world over. Our
response must measure up to the
high purpose and ideals for which
we Jews have been known
throughout the world.
“Not to do our proper share
would be a most tragic mistake,
not only to ourselves and families,
but to Jews everywhere. The
results so far give every indication
that the Atlanta Jewish communi
ty will surpass its goal for 1975,"
Dr. Schatten concluded.

positions had been most clearly
stated Sunday during a six-hour
Cabinet meeting and there was
therefore “no room for mis
understandings.” The Cabinet’s
"positive attitude" to the Kissinger
mission should be seen in that
light, Rabin said. The mission was
"acceptable to us," the Premier
said, “because of our real desire
for an agreement, which would be
a blessing for both Israel and
Egypt"
The Cabinet, at its meeting
Monday was careful to note in its
communique that it gave its ap
proval "to the position of the
ministerial team on the issues of an
interim settlement, as it has been
clarified to the government of the
United States, including issues of
importance on which agreement
has not yet been reached."
This wording, it was understood,
was meant to underline the fact
that there are questions which still
have to be answered and that these
are not merely marginal issues.
The communique's wording was
also meant to forestall and
possibility that Kissinger would
again blame Israel for misleading
hint, as he did last March when his
shuttle effort was suspended.
There was "no foundation
whatever" to the allegatons recent
ly made by Likud and others that
Kissinger would be “persona non
grata" in Israel, Rabin asserted
Israel's government had agreed to
the shuttle mission “having exer
cised its own sovereign con-
sideraton." Nor was it true that
Israel was being “dictated to,"
Rabin declared. Israel was not
susceptible to dictates. A founda
tion of its relationship with the
U.S. was American respect for its
sovereignty and independence, he
stated.
