Eminent Israeli Cou pie Describes
Freedoms Granted Visiting Arabs
A distinguished Israeli couple,
visiting here for a few days, ex-
pressed the hope that the friend-
ship that was established between
Israelis and Israeli Arabs will be
perpetuated and that the tragic
occurrence in Tel Aviv last week
will not destroy that amity.
Mr. and Mrs. Amos Landman of
Haifa, guests here last week-end
of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Shur, ex-
pressed the view that Israeli Arabs
could not have been responsible
for placing explosives in the ash
cans near the bus terminal in Tel
Aviv. They stated that there was a
great friendship based on a desire
to live together between Jews and
Arabs who shared Israeli citizen-
ship.
Landman had just retired after
49 years as director of the
Haifa Port Authority. During the
long period of his service he had
supervised the arrival of Many
tens of thousands of Jewish es-
capees from persecution.
Recalling the events that pre-
ceded Israel's emergence into
statehood, Mr. Landman pointed
out that on April 19, four weeks
before declaration of statehood,
Haifa Arabs were asked not to

Pamphlet Relating
Israel Experiences
Rhoda Zahavie Shames, who was
popular here for many years as
a folk singer at public functions,
and who recently turned to short
story writing and to poetry, has
produced another interesting ac-
count of her experiences in a
pamphlet entitled "Blood for the
Spirit—Story of the Six-Day Is-
raeli War."
With her h u s b an d, Joshua
Shames, Mrs. Shames was in Is-
rael for eight weeks when the war
broke out, and they were there
during the entire six crucial days.
In this brochure, Mrs. Shames
describes her experiences, tells
about the heroes she had met, the
courage she witnessed, and relates
about the boat trips to and from
Israel and the impressions of peo-
ple and. events.
Having turned also to painting,
Mrs. Shames has included in this
work some of her impressive
drawings including one of an
Israeli woman.
Being both a day-to-day account
of the Israel-Arab war and a de-
scription of her experiences, this
pamphlet proves of considerable
interest as a Detroiter's evalua-
ation of a dramatic event in the
Middle East.
leave the city. But they left far
ahead of that, he said, because
they feared the impending war;
because many of them thought
they would return with a victori-
ous army to acquire all Jewish
possessions; because many of
them feared that if a victorious
Arab army came they would be
prosecuted as collaborators with
Israel.
"Those who heeded our appeals
and remained in Haifa are bene-
fitting from peace and prosperity,"
Landman said.
Mrs. Landman, who teaches
Arabic in the famous Reali
High School in Haifa, said that
the study of Arabic by Jews and
Hebrew, by Arabs serve. to ce-
ment the good relationships.
Hope was expressed by the visit-
ing couple that peace can and will
be established as a result of the
serious Israeli efforts to provide
freedom for all Arabs.
"One of the remarkable devel-
opments, as a result of the efforts
of Minister of Defense Moshe
Dayan, is to allow Arabs from all
lands to visit Israel," Mrs. Land-
man said. "Arabs travel at will
among us, contrary to restrictions
imposed upon Jews in Arab
lands. If this adherence to the
right to freedom assured by Is-
rael could be recognized by our
neighbors, we would go a long
way in preventing further strife."

How Suburbs Can Help
in Fight Against Urban
Woes Listed in Brochure
Seventy-three ways by which
residents of the suburbs can help
meet the crisis in the nation's
cities are listed in a new brochure
prepared by the American Jewish
Congress' New England Commis-
sion on Law and Social Action.
The proposals are classified in
seven areas of action: employ-
ment; housing; education and en-
trepreneurship; health, welfare
and services; culture; police; and
justice.
There are five levels of action
suggested: municipal government,
churches and community organ-
izations, business and other power
centers, individuals in their spe-
cialized roles and individuals in
their role as private citizens.
ST, LOUIS (JTA) — Eighteen
Jewish high school students, one
of three work teams fielded this
summer by the American Jewish
Society for Service, spent four
days here this week after a sum-
mer in a four-county area of west-
ern Kentucky engaged on a com-
munity action program repairing
and painting homes in the area.
Jules Hirsch, a Brooklyn, N.Y.
high school teacher who led the
party, said the youngsters had
completed work on 50 houses. The
participants are not paid for their
work and have to pay their own
expenses for the seven-weeks, in-
cluding transportation.
