JERUSALEM (JTA) — As
Israel's security situation im-
proves, there will be a corres-
ponding reduction of military
government in the Arab areas
of the country and its eventual
abolition, according to a report
published on the Arab minority
Israel by the Israel Foreign
Ministry.
The report stated that there
were 213,000 Arabs in Israel of
whom 47,000 were listed as
Christians and 31,000 as Druze,
the remainder being Moslems.
While the Druze are being
called up for compulsory na-
tional service, just as are mem-
bers of the Jewish population,
the Arabs serve only as volun-
teers.
The report stated that "as a
result of past experience, Druze
and Arabs may serve in all
branches of the armed forces
and services in any rank." It
noted that there are more than
400 Druze and Arab officers
in the Israel police force. The
school attendance of Arab
youngsters rose in ten years,
the report disclosed, from 48
to 71 percent.

teed forever," a Beirut broad-

JERUSALEM—The possibil-
ity of trade relations between
Israel and the French West
African territory of Dahomey
will come under study, the Da-
homey Minister of Economic
Affairs, D. R. Zinso, told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Tuesday.
He said about 10 students
from Dahomey will come to
Israel to study modern agricul-
tural methods developed here,
irrigation and soil conservation.
The West African official,
who is a member of the French
Senate representing overseas
territories, is in Israel on a
visit as guest of the govern-
ment. He has had several dis-
cussions with Pinhas Sapir,
the Israel Minister of Com-
merce and Industry. He said
Dahomey could use Israel fer-
tilizers, irrigation equipment
and textiles and could provide
Israel with palm oil.
German Hero's Widow Hits Reparations Pact
MUNICH, (JTA)—A neo-Nazi
weekly, published by the widow
of Gen. Erich von Ludendorff,
German hero of the first World
War and a strong supporter of
Adolf Hitler's National Socialist
Party, carries a sharp attack in
its current issue on the West
German reparations and indem-
nification prograni, accusing the
Jews of fraud and the German
advocates of reparations, of
bribery and corruption.
The weekly, Die Volkswarte,
is published in Paffenhofen,
Upper Bavaria. The attack was
contained in a separate insert,
and is being widely distributed
all over West Germany.
It said most Jewish claims are
fraudulent a n d this Jewish
fraud is costing Germany bil-
lions and devaluating German
currency; that President Theo-
dor Heuss supported the pro-
gram because, it said, his
daughter-in-law was Jewish, and
that the Christian Democratic
Party supported the legislation
because it received a large bribe
from Israel.

Herut Seeks Knesset
`Emergency Meeting'
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
right-wing Herut party an-
nounced plans to seek an emer-
gency session of the Knesset,
which is now in recess, for a
discussion of political issues
arising from the present Mid-
dle East crisis.
Herut leaders said there
should be a Knesset session
to debate the Anglo-American
overflights, and Israel's atti-
tude toward the various pro-
posals for the Middle East
stemming from the emergency
session of the United Nations
General Assembly.
The Herut asked leaders of
the other parties to join with
them to obtain the 30 signa-
tures required for such a Knes-
set meeting. The General Zion-
ists and the Religious Bloc
parties said they would consid-
er the Herut demand.
Confusion of Jewish Youth
Traced to Today's Parents
STARLIGHT, Pa. (JTA) —
Jewish parents are failing their
children by not providing them
with proper spiritual and ethi-
cal guidance, Dr. Ira Eisenstein
of Chicago charged, addressing
a conference here of 80 teen-
age regional leaders of the Bnai
Brith Youth Organization.
He asserted that Jewish youth
today is "altogether confused
because they cannot see what
effect either belonging or be-
lieving has upon moral behav-
ior or individuals."
