Chaplain Engel Named
to Post in S. Viet Nam

NEW YORK—A U.S. Army Jew-
ish chaplain has been assigned to
South Viet Nam to minister to the
growing number of Jewish mili-
tary personnel there, and religious
supplies have been shipped there
for the use of these men, accord-
ing to Rabbi Israel Miller, chair-
man of the National Jewish Wel-
fare Board Commission on Jewish
Chaplaincy. The chaplain is Lt.
Meir Engel, a veteran of World
War II and Korea.
T h e assignment and shipment
were made before the news came
of the North Viet Nam attack on
U.S. destroyers in the Bay of Ton-
kin. Chaplain Engel will be in
South East Asia in time to make
final preparations for High Holy
Day observances in Viet Nam, and
the materials shipped by JWB in-
clude all of the supplies which he
will need for the holiday.
Chaplain Engel, who saw duty in
the Pacific during World War II,
held pulpits in North Carolina and
Massachusetts. He was recalled to
active duty at the beginning of
the Korean conflict, was later as-
signed to Camp Kilmer, N.J., and
then was Jewish advisor to the
Army Command in Europe at Hei-
delberg, Germany. Prior to his
Viet Nam assignment he was dep-
uty post chaplain at Fort Dix, N.J.
and later at Fort Ord, Calif.
A heavy shipment of Jewish re-
ligious supplies was sent by JWB
to Viet Nam beginning last month.
Included are High Holy Day prayer
books, a Torah and Shofar, talei-
sim and yarmulkes, kosher foods
and inspirational literature. Mor-
ale items for the Jewish cultural
and recreational programs which
Chaplain Engel will conduct were
also in the shipment.
Prior to Chaplain Engel's as-
signment, South Viet Nam was
covered by Jewish chaplains sta-
tioned elsewhere in the Pacific
who made flying trips to that
country as well as to other areas
in South East Asia where Ameri-
can troops are on duty.

Israel President Cancels
Vacation Trip Over
Growing Crisis in Cyprus

JERUSALEM (JTA)— President
Zalman Shazar decided to cancel
a vacation trip he had planned to
start Tuesday in view of the ten-
sion over the latest developments
in Cyprus which the Israel govern-
ment is watching with utmost at-
tention.
The Foreign Ministry here was
preparing a response to two ap-
peals sent by Cyprus President
Makarios to President Shazar. The
appeals were of identical text sent
to heads of state of other coun-
tries. They urged Israel to use its
influence to put an end to what
President Makarios called "Turk-
ish acts of aggression constituting
a crime against humanity and
serious damage to international
peace."

as Egyptian "warmongering." At
least 12 persons were injured in
the melee.
T h e ships involved were the
Zion, an Israeli vessel, and the
Egyptian Algazayer. The vessels
were berthed side by side, when
students aboard the Algazayer
shouted insults at the Israelis. The
latter replied, the Aralsi attacked
with knives, broken bottles and
stones — and the Israelis fought
back. More than 100 Greek police-
men intervened.
After the five Egyptians were
arrested, port police guarded the
Zion against possible arson until
it sailed, several hours behind its
schedule. A little later, after the
five arrested Egyptians were al-
lowed temporarily to return to
their ship, the Algazayer also
sailed. Not only the police author-
ities, but the Greek press too de-
nounced the Egyptians for starting
the fight, terming them "warmon-
gers" and "savages."

Greek Police Arrest
Arabs for Provoking
Clash with Israelis

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Fed-
eration of Jewish Philanthropies
of Greater New York and Mount
Sinai Hospital were granted $1,-
000,000 each by the James Foun-
dation of New York, Inc., a char-
itable foundation established by
railroad industrialist Arthur Cur-
tiss James, who died in 1941. The
gifts were part of $96,000,000 in
grants to universities and other in-
stitutions announced today prior
to the liquidation of the Founda-
tion which will dissolve Dec. 31.
James was one of the 10 or 12
wealthiest men in the country but
also one of the least known to the
public. He inherited $26,000,000
from his father, a railroad man
and miner, in 1907. The son built
up a railroad empire in the West
that covered a quarter of the coun-
try and included one-seventh of
the entire railroad mileage in the
United- States. He gave millions
during his lifetime but laid down
one rule in making his contribu-
tions—recipients were not to give
out any publicity on the gift, or it
would be canceled.

See us last.

Which le a dumb remark unless we have something to offer that
makes seeing us last worthwhile,
What do we have to offer? How about quiet no-pressure sales
men. No highballing, No lowballing, Just plain noballing.
And how about quiet showrooms, Where you can look at our
new Plymouths without a salesman breathing hotly down your

neck, Or where you can meander around and listen to the music
and never ever buy a car at all
And how about personnel who know about cars and who can
sell you a four-door sedan or a red-hot Hyper-Powered Barracuda.
But that's not all. There's more. Because a lot of people have
been seeing us last, first.
