Digest Gives Details of Hawk Missile Sales to Israel
Koufax One of Heroes Described AF
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Details revealed to be a solid-propellant termined if the United States is
about the American Hawk missile booster. The warhead is conven- committed to modify the Hawks

Baseball is only one of our na-
tional sports, and it certainly is
a major one. It has been consid-
ered the national game for many
years, but basketball, football, soc-
cer have gained
status.
Nevertheless,
baseball remains
the chief attrac-
tion for our
youth, and be-
cause of it three
books just issued
b y Random

great impor-
Koufax
tance. For the
younger readers they will become
guides in acquiring knowledge
about the great sport on the dia-
mond — and the elders will surely
look into them to gain added in-
formation about the game. These
books are:
"Great Baseball Pitchers," by
Jim Brosnan;
"Greatest World Series Thril-
els," by Ray Robinson; and
"Secrets of Big League Play,"
by Robert Smith. .
Smith's "Secret ," illustrated
with many photographs and with
drawings by Ed Vebell, introduces
the reader to the secrets- involv-
ing pitching, catching, batting,
fielding, base running, and ad-
vises the fan about the inspira-
tions that lead to the winning of
games. The author is an expert,
and his advice, the details regard-
ing the elements of running, catch-
ing, pitching, fielding, will be
treasured by our youth.
Smith describes the skills of
many players, and about one of
them he writes:
"When Hank Greenberg, for-
mer Detroit slugger, switched
from first base to make room
for another slugger (Rudy York)
in the lineup, he spent hours
learning to play his new posi-
tion. Determined to improve his
ability in the field, he asked a
teammate to bounce balls off the
outfield fence! Greenberg prac-
ticed going after them until he
learned to judge at a glance just
which way a ball would rebound.
He worked at this hour after
hour, even after everyone else
had left, until he became an
able outfielder."
Robinson's "Great World Series
Thrillers," which describes many
exciting games in baseball his-
tory, also is well illustrated. The
book is filled with much data and
the numerous interesting episodes,

ties for glory as well as superior-
ity on the mound, are ably told
here.
This book opens with a chapter
entitled "15 K's • for Koufax," and
in 16 pages, with photos, Robinson
tells the story of the great Jewish
star who won the World Series for
the Dodgers.
"Sandy the Dandy" emerges
as a real hero, as a wizard on
the mound. The Koufax story is
in itself worth the price of this
book.
The Koufax story does not end
with this account by Robinson. In
Brosnan's "Great Baseball Pitch-
ers," also fully illustrated, there
is a chapter entitled "Sanford
Koufax (`Sandy') ... Born 1935,"
in which the Jewish lad, now 30, is
called "the pitching star of the
sixties." Koufax, states Brosnan,
"has set his sights on winning at
least 200 games in the major
leagues. By the end of the sixties
he may have to raise the mark."
Fellow players and managers
pay honor to Koufax and the Bros-
nan story details the record of this
great man in baseball.
The three books complement
each other. Together they form a
noteworthy library on our great
game. Our youth will consider
possession of this three-volume de-
scriptive history of baseball some-
thing to be treasured.
Eduard Rosenthal, a leading
German Jewish jurist and states-
man, was a leading expert on me-
dieval German law. He created
the constitution of Thuringia in
1919.
Swiss Novelist Receives
Jerusalem Prize for Book
JERUSALEM (JTA) — M a x
Frith, the Swiss novelist and play-
wright, was awarded at the Jerusa-

Jerusalem Prize for his book,
"Man's Freedom in Society." The
award was presented to him by
Jerusalem Mayor Mordecai Ish
Shalom.
U.S. sources have determined
that Egypt possesses a ground-to-
ground missile capable of hitting
Israel, but report its value is as-
sessed as propagandistic rather
than tactical. The Egyptian missile
guidance system is described as
primitive. Its military value, with
conventional warheads, is c o n -
sidered negligible.
U.S. sources said the Israeli
Hawk bittalion trained at Fort
Bliss, Texas, would be capable of
£erving anti-tactical versions of the
Hawk without great difficulty —
should such a weapon prove prac-
tical.

And so, what did you learn up to
now?
We have learned much and know
little.
Now I know that you are smart
(people).
We know little, and we are smart?
Yes, only a wise man knows that ho
does not know.
Isn't the one who knows that he
knows, wise?
No! Do you know what the Hebrew
word is for a learned and a great
wise man?
A learned man one certainly calls
a "Haham."*
Not exactly. One calls hlin
"Talmid Haham."*
Only a man who is alWays a student,
he is also always "Hallam" and
"Lamdan."
If this is so, what must we do?
We want to be "Talmide Hahamlinn

understand.
Here is my good advice:
