MILITARY NOTES: The profile of the Jew serving in the Ameri-
can armed forces is now undergoing a basic change, judging from re ,
ports by the National Jewish Welfare Board . . . The greater skills and
higher education required by.military personnnel in the space age have
attracted large numbers of Jews to military careers . . . Thus the
average Jewish serviceman is now increasingly a family man and a
parent . . . And he wants to be recogniied as a person and Jew, with
all the needs and responsibilities of his civilian counterpart . . . The
JWB finds that he is not escaping Jewish life, but seeking ways to
remain part of it, difficult though it may be . . . At the larger military
installations in this country and abroad, there are today permanent
Jewish military congregations, military sisterhoods and religious schools
. The Jewish chaplains also publish periodicals in some installations
to keep the servicemen abreast of world Jewish events, and maintain
Jewish libraries . . . At the smaller or isolated military bases, officers
and enlisted men trained by the chaplains on their periodic visits have
taken over the leadership of these congregations and schools . .
According to the JWB, these lay leaders and their wives are doing a
remarkable job of maintaining Jewish community life under difficult
circumstances . . . They take turns leading services, read and study
about Jewish life and history and problems, serve as teachers in the
religious schools and organize holiday observances . . . They also raise
funds for Jewish causes, make great efforts to educate their children
Jewishly, build Sukkahs, design. Menorahs, hold Purim balls and seek
to expand their Jewish horizons . . . In Europe, the Jewish chaplains
arrange for their uniformed congregants to study at first hand the rich
Jewish past in Turkey, Greece, Italy, France and Germany . . . In
Japan, American Jewish servicemen stationed there worked as volun-
teers to restore the country's oldest Jewish cemetery . . . Taking into
consideration the "new look" of the Jewish military man in the Ameri-
can armed services, the JWB has now published a curriculum of unified
Jewish education . . . This new ethicational tool is of special importance
because of the growing number of children of school age whose fathers
are stationed at points far removed from civilian synagogues and Jewish
schools . . . It is also important because it promotes continuity in the
religious education of children whose fathers are shifted from one
military installation to another.
EYES ON WASHINGTON: Major Jewish organizations in this
country are now watching the Department of Commerce . . . They are
anxious to see what steps the Secretary of Commerce will take to im-
plement the Congressional provision in the Export Control Act, aimed
at checking the Arab boycott of American firms dealing with Israel
. . . The legislation passed by Congress — and promptly signed by
President Johnson — requires the Administration to issue, within 90
days, rules and regulations implementing the measure . . . A good
part of the 90 days has already passed, and no specific regulations have
so far been promulgated . . . The Department of Commerce has prom-
ised vigorous enforcement of the Congressional provision and Jewish
organizations are expecting practical results . . . On the whole, the
boycott machinery of the Arab League is now becoming less effective,
although the League has recently sought to intensify its activities .. .
However, American businessmen and industrialists are still being har-
rassed by the Arab governments inquiring about the extent of their
trade in or with Israel . . .The new statute passed by Congress en-
courages and requests American enterprises to refuse such information
and to report to the Secretary of Commerce any molesting inquiries
they may receive . . . Jewish organizations have long sought the
creation of a statutory instrumentality which could successfully counter-
act the Arab attempts to balcklist American firms doing business with
Israel . . . The adoption by Congress of the new statute culminated
several years of Jewish efforts to find and administer an effective anti-
dote to the Arab activities . . . It now remains to be seen what kind
of regulations will be promulgated by the Department of Commerce to
make the legislation really effective.

the Furness Shipbuilding Co., a
British firm.
Minister of State Ray Mason, ad-
dressing the British Board of Trade
Monday, said the contract consti-
tutes "the most valuable single or-
der" ever placed here by Israel,
and "one of the largest orders
ever received from overseas by a
shipyard in Britain."
Furness will build the 65,000 ton
ships, under the contract, sched-
uling delivery in 1967 and 1968..
Charles Clore, chairman of the
Furness board, is a Jew. London
newspapers, featuring news of the
El-Yam contract, referred to Clore
as one who has "marked sympa-
thies" for Israel and is unafraid of
any possible reactions from Arab
League states interested in boycot-
ting Israel.
Press reports today stressed that
Israel now ranks as Britain's big-
gest Middle East customer, having
spent more than 25,000,000 pounds
sterling ($70,000,000) in Britain in
the first half of 1965.
Mapai Secretariat Resigns En Masse;
Re-election Eliminates B-G Adherents
TEL AVIV (JTA). — The central
committee of the embattled Mapai
Party Monday dismissed the 64-
member party Secretariat, and then
promptly re-elected most of the
body, eliminating 11 members who
are backing former Premier David
Ben-Gurion.
The new, 53-member Secretariat
retains Moshe Dayan, who resigned
as agricultural minister in support
of Ben-Gurion's fight against Prem-
ier Levi Eshkol, and Uzi Fiener-
man. The central committee acted
after the Tel Aviv district court is-
sued an injunction last Friday for-
bidding the Secretariat to function
on grounds that the Ben-Gurion
supporters in the Secretariat had
not been invited to a meeting of
that top Mapai body. The Secre-
tariat resigned in a body after the
court order was issued.
To forestall new complications,
the central committee first ap-
proved the Secretariat decision to
resign, and then formally dismissed
it. The 11 members not re-elected
are members of the Israel Workers
List, organized by Ben-Gurion as an
independent list for the November
Parliamentary elections. The Ben-
Gurion group had claimed that the
Secretariat decision to resign was
binding only on those who voted
for it.
/The Ben-Gurion group told the
court that not only had its adher-
ents been excluded from invitations
to the Secretariat meeting, set to
finalize the expulsion of th Ben-
Gurion members from the party,
but that a Mapai court of honor
does not have the "competence" to
vote the scheduled expulsions. The
latter claim was not decided by the
court, which has been hearing the
arguments for expelling Ben-Gur-
ion and six of his followers.
Shimon Peres, who resigned as
deputy defense minister earlier
this year to back Ben-Gurion's chal-
lenge to Premier Levi Eshkol's
leadership of the party and the na-
tion, contended that, since the dis-
pute was a major political issue,
the proper forum for the hearing
was a party convention and not the
Court of Honor.
He also contended that two of
the five judges were not impartial
and demanded also that the matter
be dismissed in the party branches
first. Nahum Shadmi, prosecutor
for the case, replied that the dis-
pute had been discussed in the
party branches at length. Micha
Kaspi, the attorney for Ben-Gurion,
argued that the court was not el-
igible to try Ben-Gurion and his
followers.
ers List) is why they are against
the party, and why they defame
it." He added that he would prove
that Rafi actually was a separate
party.
Micha Kaspi, representing Rafi,
said that the former premier did
not have to appear before the
prosecution ended its presentation.
The court agreed to call Ben-
Gurion and two of his Rafi sup-
porters, Yizhar Smilansky and
Hanna Lamdan, to the next meet-
ing of the tribunal.
