THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Commandos Rounded Up by Israelis
(Continued from Page 1)
addition, 10 El Fatah recruits
were reportedly killed at a sabo-
teur training center in Jordan
when a mine they were handling
exploded in their midst. Some
of the recruits were reported to
be from West Bank villages.
Three days earlier, four Arab
saboteurs were killed and a fifth
was captured along with a quant-
ity of arms and ammunition in a
clash with an Israeli patrol about
15 miles west of the Jordan River.
An Israeli soldier was injured
when his jeep hit a mine near Ein
Yahav on the Eilat road east of
S'dom. Other Israeli soldiers
escaped injury when their half-
track was attacked with bazooka
and machine gun fire while patrol-
ing the Beisan Valley area near
Tirat Zvi. The Israeli soldiers re-
turned the fire at unidentified
persons seen hiding on the east
bank of the Jordan.
Two of the Arab infiltrators
were killed Saturday night in an
encounter north of the Damiyah
Bridge in the Beisan Valley. Some
saboteurs escaped across the Jor-
dan River. The Israeli patrol found
rifles, machine guns and a ba-
zooka, all Russian-made, near the
slain Arabs. The body of another
saboteur was found Saturday night
north of the Allenby Bridge near
where an Israeli patrol shot and
killed a marauder Friday night.
Three Israeli soldiers were wound-
ed in that encounter when Jor-
danian forces on the East Bank
opened fire on them in an attempt
to help a wounded infiltrator
escape. Until the discovery of the
body it was believed that the
wounded man had gotten away.
A Tel Aviv District Court im-
posed a three-year prison sentence
over the weekend on Meyir Eilathi,
23, who was found guilty of mak-
ing contact with Egyptian intelli-
gence with the intention of pro-
viding them with secret materials.
He had contacted the Egyptian
consul in The Hague while visit-
ing The Netherlands and offered
his services. Eilathi returned to
Israel before real contact was
made and no material was
handed to the Egyptians.
A military court in Nablus sen-
tenced an El Fatah gang leader to
20 years in prison and one of his
henchmen to a 15-year term. The
leader. Djoua Daloul, and Abou
Roub, were both captured in lower
Galilee recently. Roub served as
liaison between El Fatah and the
local Arab population. He told the
court that he was forced to join
El Fatah when they kidnapped his
small son. He said the bay was re-
leased only after he joined.

dangerous gap in civilized society"
is being created because of the
lack of understanding between
the generations.
Speaking at the opening session
of the World Council of Syna-
gogues before 200 delegates from
14 countries, Dr. Finkelstein said
that the Conservative movement
was seeking to bridge the gap and
to develop a continuing dialogue
between the generations on the
questions giving youth the greatest
concern today.
Youth today, Dr. Finkelstein
said, has far greater technical
knowledge than \ the majority of
their elders. "Nevertheless," he
noted, "there are some permanent
insights into life which we have
inherited from our ancestors and
which are indispensable to the de-
velopment of our children's lives.
The curious difference between
mastery of techniques and lack
of experience and understanding
of the permanent truths is creating
a new and dangerous gap in civil-
ized society."

Sherer proposed that chemical test-

harm the ethrog skin.
Omaha Jewish Federation
Arranges for 30 Negro
Youths to Attend Camp
OMAHA (JTA)—The board of
the Omaha Jewish Federation has
approved arrangements under
which 15 underprivileged Negro
children will be taken to the Fed-
eration's Esther K. Newman Camp
for the second week of the first
camp session and another 15 for
the third week. The camp commit-
tee had agreed to accept the chil-
dren to fill vacancies in the camp
sessions providing they met medi-
cal 'requirements, had the neces-
sary equipment and the costs of
their visit were covered. Private
sources provided the bulk of the
funds necessary, with the Fed-
eration providing the balance.
