Cabinet Report of 28
Acts Against Synagogues
LONDON (JTA) — A British
Cabinet official reported in the
House of Commons that there had
been 19 cases of arson or mali-
cious damage to synagogues and
other Jewish premises in 1966, and
nine this year. The figures were
given by Dick Tarvene, joint par-
liamentary under-secretary for the
Home Office, in reply to questions
from Laborite Paul Rose. The offi-
cial also said that the police were
paying special attention to the
problem.
Quint in Hogg, a Conservative
MP, asked whether the Home
Office felt there was any connec-
tion between the arson attempts
and the "renewed dissemination
through the mails of anti-Semitic
literature." Tarvene replied that
this was also a matter which
would have to be watched.
Coca-Cola to Open Plant
in Israel Despite Arabs
BNAI BOREK (ZINS) — De-
spite threats of boycott by the
Arab countries, the Coca-Cola firm
will begin operations next Febru-
ary, a spokesman for the company
announced. In its opening phase it
will employ from 70 to 100
workers.
The annual production promises
to reach 200,000,000 bottles, or
more, because of the country's dry
climate (there is no rainfall for
nine months of the year).
Much of the anticipated stock
will be imported from America,
the rest produced in Israel. The
capital investment is estimated to
be about 17,000,000 pounds. The
principal stockholders are the New
York banker Abraham Feinberg,
Carl Navarre of the American Co-
ca-Cola estiblishment and an Is-
raeli group.

Sightless, Not Brainless
VIENNA (ZINS) — The only
kind of production which thrives
in the Communist countries is that
of jokes. Last week a sample of
this merchandise reached Vienna
and from there was exported
promptly to other free lands:
A Jew came to the Hungarian
Foreign Ministry and applied for
a passport for the purpose of vis-
iting Israel. He explained that dur-
ing the Six-Day War his brother
in Israel lost his sight, and there-
fore he wanted to visit with him.
"If this is the case, the official
in charge suggested, "it might per-
haps be a good idea for your
brother to come to you for a visit
in Hungary."
"This is out of the question,"
answered the Jew, "my brother is
blind but not crazy."
