TEL AVIV—Sports experts here
Wednesday hailed the performance
of the U.S. contingent to the World
Maccabiah Games, which closed at
Ramat Gan Stadium Tuesday night
with the American participants tak-
ing 145 of the 444 gold, silver and
bronze medals for the events.
The U.S. athletes won 75 gold
medals, compared with 63 brought
home four years ago. Israel was
next in the first-place category with
31 gold medals, with Britain win-
ning 15 and South Africa 11.
The U.S. was particularly
praised for having brought a com-
plete team which set international
standards for the competition in an
entire range of events, including
gymnastics, shooting, wrestling,
weight lifting, judo and fencing.
Outstanding performers among
the American participants in-
cluded Marty Eisner of Cleve-
land, who won the shot put, and
Stuart Levitt of Shaker Heights,
who placed third in the javelin.
In an address at the closing cere-
monies, Israel Prime Minister Levi
Eshkol urged upon the participants

Israel Cabinet Votes New Aid for Zim;
OK's Rule on Rabbis for Both Factions
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Israel
Cabinet decided to give the Zim
National Shipping Line additional
capital to cope with a shortage of
working funds and a heavy debt,
and also to reduce the rate of in-
terest on the government's loans
to Zim.
The decision followed lengthy
discussions of Zim's financial diffi-
culties in various committees,
which followed an urgent appeal
for funds from the company sev-
eral months ago.
Share capital of Zim will be
increased by $14,000,000. The
three partners in the firm — the
government, the Jewish Agency
and Histadrut, Israel's labor fed-
eration— will each buy $3,000,.
000 worth of shares. In addition,
the government will reduce Zim
debts to it by $5,000,000.
The rate of interest which Zim
has been paying to the government
for passenger ships ordered from
West Germany will be reduced
from 5 per cent to 3 per cent. Zim's
total debts now stand at $62,000,000.
A proposal to divide Zim into
two separate companies, one for

fright and one for passengers, was
referred back to a ministerial com-
mittee on financial matters. A
senior government offical said the
consensus in the cabinet was that
such separate companies will be
formed.
In another action, a committee
of ministers ended a year-long
deadlock by approving rules for
election of both Sephardic and
Ashkenazic rabbis for local re-
ligious functions.
The three ministers — Ashkenazi
Minister of Religions Zorach War-
haftig, and Sephardic Police Minis-
ter Behor Shitreet and Minister of
Posts Eliahu Sasson—decided that
each locality could elect an addi-
tional rabbi, if one-third of the
residents so vote.
This means that each locality
will again have two official rabbis
—one Sephardic and one Ashkena-
zic.
However, elections will not be
held until after the November par-
liamentary elections. Local rabbis
have a number of official func-
tions, such as being empowered to
register marriages and supervis-
ing kosher production, with part
of their salary paid by the govern-
ment. The decision is subject to
approval by the entire cabinet.
The cabinet decided Sunday to
recommend a clause in Israel's
law against genocide, which
would abolish any period of limi-
tations for prosecution of such
crimes.
The proposal, which is in ac-
cordance with a resolution adopted
by the United Nations Commission
on Human Rights, will be submit-
ted to the new parliament after
the November elections.

the Maccabiah proved that "the
Jewish nation is united."
The competition ended with the
finals in the men's 1,500-meter
track meet, which was won by
Britain; and the 400-meter and
1,600-meter relays, won by the
United States. Earlier in the day,
an Israel all-star soccer team de-
feated Italy's crack Torino squad
by a score of 2 to 1.
After the final competition, the
participants marched around the
stadium, and the Maccabiah flame
above the huge outdoor arena was
extinguished. Pierre Gildesgame
of Britain, Maccabiah world chair-
man, officially declared the games
ended, and invited the participants
to return for the eighth Maccabiah
Games.
A new Maccabiah record was
set in the finals of the weight.

the United States set a new rec-
ord and won first place for a
gold medal in the lightweight
class, with 347.5 kgs. (761
pounds) for total press, snatch
and jerk, and 135 for press.
Israel won the gold medal in the
2,000-meter single scull events. Is-
rael's Eliyahu Avizov won first
place of skimming over the Yarkon
River course in 7 minutes, 21 sec-
onds.
In double sculls, Israel beat the
United States, timing six minutes,

minutes, 35 seconds. In basketball,
the United States team beat Ca-
nada 107 to 53, and Israel beat the
U.S. 4 to 3 in water polo.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (JTA) — A
Catholic layman served as chair-
man of a committee started by
the Jewish Standard, local English-
language Jewish weekly, which
raised more than $3,000 to enable
two New Jersey Jewish athletes
to take part in the Seventh Mac-
cabiah Games.
The athletes were Richie Levy,
miler of Bayonne, and Ira Wolfe,
a hammer thrower from North
Bergen, who qualified in Hudson
County competition. When the Jew-
ish Standard learned that funds
to send athletes to the games were
raised through contributions, it
began a campaign to raise $3,000.
