THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Ignorance of Name Thedore Herzl Reported
Among Young People — Not in U.S., but in Israel
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — A debate on the
Zionism and patriotism of Israeli
Jewish youth took place in parlia-
ment Tuesday night in a parallel
discussion to that taking place at
the Wofld Zionist Actions Com-
mittee session at convention hall.
' T h e parliamentary discussion
was touched off by a survey which
purportedly showed that some Is-
raeli youngster's had never heard
of Theodor Herzl, Hatikva or the
Nazi holocaust in Europe. M. Ha-
zani of the National Religious
Party said that this situation was
the result of alienation of Jews
from Jewish tradition and apeing
of Western culture by Jews.
However, Education Minister
Zalman Aranne questioned the ac-
curacy of the survey. He argued
that intangibles like Zionism and
patriotism could not be measured
by surveys. He argued that envi-
ronmental influences, such as the
home and neighborhood, w e r e
more influential than formal edu-
cation for inculcating such values.
He asserted that the crucial test
of youths' idealism was army sere _-
ice and that the response to this
challenge showed that Israeli
youths were not lacking in patriotic
feeling.

Dayan Proposes Jordan,
Israel Join on Tourism
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Plans for
Israel-Jordan cooperation on the
exploitation of Jordan River water
and in the promotion of tourism to
both- countries were proposed here
Monday by Moshe Dayan, a mem-
ber of Ben-Gurion's Israel Work-
ers faction of the Knesset, Israel's
parliament, and a former chief of
staff and minister of agriculture.
Addressing a public meeting
here, Dayan said that a peace
agreement with Jordan could in-
clude provision or access by that
country to a Mediterranean sea-
port in Israel. Two weeks ago
Dayan said that a long-term solu-
tion to Middle East problems
might be a confederation compris-
ing Israel and Jordan which would
leave Israel with freedom of de-
cision in questions of immigration,
defense and foreign affairs but
solving all other problems in com-
mon.
