Lebanese Not Taking Sides,
but Flight of Jews Reported
The Lebanese-centered Maron-
ite rite of the Roman Catholic
Church is not taking sides in the
Middle East dispute and is in fact
calling for an aid program for
both Arabs and Israelis, said the
United States bishop of the rite,
the Most Rev. Francis M. Zayek
of Detroit.
The bishop of 150,000 Maronite
Roman Catholics said "We are
calling for a day of prayer for the
victims of the war without prefer-
ence to one side . . . Our people
in this country support the policy
of our nation, the United States.
We are Americans," he said.
Presiding at the closing ses-
,
Association
of Maronites here, the Cuban-
born bishop said that Maronites
are not Arabs, but "of Lebanese
and Phoenician descent."
The Maronite rite is named after
the Syrian abbot and hermit, St.
Maron, who died in 433 CE.
On the other side of the coin, it
was reported in London's Jewish
Chronicle that many of Lebanon's
estimated 5,000 Jews are leaving
the country, "undeceived by the
deceptively calm atmosphere pre-
vailing there at the moment and
not completely reassured by the
Lebanese government's announced
determination to maintain law and
order."
A permanent police guard has
been stationed in the Jewish quar-
ter of Beirut, where most of the
country's Jews live, as well as on
their synagogues and other build-
ings. The Jews fear most a clash
between Christians and Moslems
over the Middle East situation, in
which case the Jews will be caught
in the middle, they fear. Those
who leave may transfer their as-
sets abroad and take all their be-
longings.

Samuel Rothberg, who was to
have addressed Wednesday's meet-

meetings and was prevented from
keeping his appointments here.
This year's Bond sales set an
all-time record. The largest sales
until now were in 1965 when Bond
purchases amounted to $2,500,000.
The earlier high Bond record was
in the first year of the introduc-
tion of the Bond program, in 1951,
when David Ben-Gurion was the
guest of the Detroit Jewish com-
munity. The sale then was for
$2,100,000.
