He emphasized that the payments, ulti- mately scheduled to total 1,200,000,000 marks ($300,000,000) were "not being cut but being merely deferred" due to . an overburdened budget. The $50,000,000 payment was to have been a first installment on the total $300,- 000,000 restitution due to those who could not file claims before the 1953 deadline, because of their inability to escape earlier from countries behind the Iron Curtain. Dahlgruen said it was possible that some payments might be made to these victims of Nazism "in very urgent cases."

According to America, copies of a "crudely written pamphlet appeared mys- teriously in St. Peter's Basilica" on the day the final vote had been scheduled on the declaration. The pamphlet :sailed on the prelates not to vote for the .-leclaration "because it would betray Christianity to the Jews." The Jesuit weekly reports, however, that at least a half-dozen of the purported signatories to that appeal had not given permission for the use of their names. "To complete the travesty," states America, "it has now been discovered that three of the Italian organizations on the list do not even exist." (Related story, page 40.) JERUSALEM (JTA) — Prime Minister Levi Eshkol indi- cated the possibility here Sunday of further far-reaching relaxation of military - government in Israel's Arab-populated border areas. In a statement to the press here, Eshkol said it was even possible that military government might be abolished entirely in those areas. Eshkol Tuesday invited the Mapam Party to enter the coalition for the new government he is planning. Mapam, ac- cording to the still incomplete tallies of the balloting, seems to have won eight seats in the next Knesset, while the Mapai- Ahdut Avodah alignment got a probable 44 seats and a possible 45 places. Eshkol made his offer to Mapam at a meeting here with two of that party's leaders, Meir Yeari and Yaacov Hazan. The Mapam chiefs told Eshkol they would discuss the offer with their organization's executive bodies after which they will meet with the premier again: Meanwhile, Eshkol indicated he would welcome the return to the Mapai ranks of some of the dissidents who broke away from Mapai to join Rafi, the Israel Workers List formed by former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. In an address at Tel Aviv, Eshkol said he believed that "an errant minority" had became "involved in this adventure for various reasons, but they would return to the family." (In a statement by Eshkol published in the Nov. 4 issue of Davar, organ of Histadrut, Israel's Federation of Labor, Esh- kol emphasized that the results of the elections proved that the public in Israel considers the "Lavon Affair" and its aftermath (Continued on Page 3) Harlem Street Corner on Mediterraneasir By MILTON FRIEDMAN (Copyright, 1965, JTA, Inc.) WASHINGTON — In the shadow of Tel Aviv's luxurious tourist hotels, U.S. welfare experts have found an Israeli innovation — street corner gangs of juvenile delinquents. The teen agers, mostly of North African back- ground, have created a problem so serious that the Israeli government welcomes a U.S. welfare ad- 2-ministration study. The study suggested need for new concepts in dealing with delinquent juveniles •in both Israel and the United States. One finding is that the United States may be able to gain insights into a vexing American dilem- •ma. American welfare authorities may learn more about the plague of juvenile delinquency by ob- serving the developing pattern in the totally new society of Israel. Although delinquency is just emerging in Israel, striking similarities were noted be- tween Tel Aviv and New York street gangs, accordina to Dr. Ellen Winston, U.S. commis- sioner of b welfare. • If a way can be found to prevent further de- terioration in Tel Aviv, the United States may ob- tain valuable clues to help reverse the older, delinquency trends in America. Israel sought to create an ideal human com- munity. Love and dignity were accorded to indi- viduals, regardless of background or status. Never- theless, some of the worst aspects of Harlem and the East Side are emerging among teen agers in •Tel Aviv slums. Israeli authorities are eager to analyze and confront this situation. American ex- perts are hopeful that mutual benefits can be de- rived from cooperative research. The project director is Aryeh Leissner. He is an Israeli who studied social work at Columbia University. He worked for years in New York on the Lower East Side and. in Harlem with Puerto Rican fighting gangs and other delinquent groups of teen agers. This equipped Leissner to compa•e the delinquency patterns of New York and TAI Leissner found a delinquent subculture emerging in areas of Tel Aviv adjacent to bet- ter, middle-class sections. The sudden onset of Israeli prosperity appeared to him to have increased the resentment and discontent among poorer youths. He found the typical Tel Aviv gang youth to be a school dropout who could get further education or a job, but re- gards study and honest labor to be pursuits for "suckers." Sabin to Get Scopus Award Dr. Albert B. Sabin (left), originator of the virus anti-polio vaccine, meeting with philanthropist Albert Parker, who will present hint with the Scopus Award of the American Friends of the Hebrew University Nov. 21. The Detroit Friends will have Dr. Sabin as guest speaker at a dinner Dec. 18. The "smart guys" loiter about kiosks, rudely offending passersby, plotting thefts, shouting ob- scenities, and even smoking hashish. Some carry switchblade knives. Their discontent is ironic because many were born in filthy North African ghettos and their families now enjoy vastly improved circumstances in Israel. Gadna, the voluntary pre-military youth or- ganization, would be a superb solution to the gang problem. However, Gadna requires patriotism, de- votion and discipline. Such attributes do not mo- tivate the young toughs who push their way to the head of the queue. According to the U.S. study, Israel's rapid industrialization and urbanization created a sharp contrast between the "materialistic aspirations of a rising middle class" and the contrasting discon- tent of the poor. Utilitarian housing provided to some new immigrants rapidly deteriorated into slums. Tel Aviv became overcrowded and over- priced, although the government beseeched new immigrants to accept better conditions in smaller cities and rural communities. Tel Aviv teen-age deliquents have adopted the skin-tight black pants of their New York counterparts and try to emulate the manner- isms of the "American punks." Complaints are made of ethnic discrimination. It appeared to the social workers that such claims were made to excuse the lack of willingness to work and to justify guilt-producing conduct. Youth clubs are avoided because they do not permit vulgar conduct, smoking and sensuous dancing. When religion was discussed, the street boys sneered at the piety of their parents. One young- ster said his father prayed all day because "it's easier than working." Another boy aroused hilarity by saying his father "lives in the synagogue that's why he doesn't have to worry about getting the rest of us a decent place to live."
