Brewster Broder, Rabbi Hayim Donin, Ronald L. Greenberg, Mrs. Harry L. Jones, Edward C. Levy, Max M. S h a y e and George M. Zeltzer. Rabbi Irwin Groner gave the in- vocation. The Jewish Welfare Federation •reiterated its commitment to the problems of the inner city with the organization of a Committee on Urban Affairs, announced by Hy- man Safran, president. A statement adopted by the Fed- eration Board of Governors de- scribed the purpose of the com- mittee to make Federation "alert to opportunities, through its tradition- al agency relationships, to make a creative impact in this area." The statement points out that the "problems will not yield to single or simplistic solutions," and adds "every responsible segment of the citizenry is called upon to assist with every resource at its dis- posal." Asserting the Federation's pri- mary responsibility to "provide communal programs serving the needs of oar Jewish population," the statement recognizes "that the situation in America's cities, in which 96 per cent of American Jews live, imposes new realities which we cannot ignore. A strong Jewish community can thrive best in a healthy society." Alan E. Schwartz, who was chair- man of the ad hoc committee on urban affairs, was named chairman of the new committee. In his report to the board, Schwartz said that the permanent committee should be "an expression of the concern of the Jewish Welfare Federation with the importance of urban affairs in our time." The Federation board approved functions of the committee which would develop a program of infor- mation and education for the lead- ership, as well as the Jewish community-at-large, to develop positive attitudes on inner city problems and race relations, and encourage individual and organiza- tional participation in urban affairs. The Federation Committee on Urban Affairs would also work closely with the New Detroit Committee as well as city com- missions and other organizations already working on poverty pro- grams in the inner city. Hyman Safran, Federation presi- dent, and Max M. Fisher, president of New Detroit Committee and chairman of the Federation's exeu- tive committee, will serve as ex- officio members. Members of the committee by virtue of holding other offices are Israel Govt. Eases Up on Imports, Foreign Stocks (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) JERUSALEM—The government has relaxed restrictions on im- ports and on the purchase of secur- ities abroad. An order published Sunday permits Israelis to pur- chase stocks listed in any recog- nized exchange abroad. Pre- viously, such purchases were re- stricted to a few approved ex- changes in major world centers. Israeli participation in . foreign trust -funds and mutual funds will still require special approval. An order published Monday permits Israelis to import electric record-players, cigarette lighters and patent-leather handbags, sub- ject to the normal customs duties. Previously, the importation of these items was prohibited to protect competitive local products. Israel also announced an across-the- board reduction of 15 per cent on all imported items on which more than 35 per cent customs duties are collected. The reduction was in line with Israel's conipliance with the "Ken- nedy round" of international tariff s fi fi . h 040,14.42% Mandell L.

According to Beeston, the guer- rilla "is not only the biggest single threat to peace in the Middle East but is also a dangerous challenge to the Arab governments which were so humiliatingly defeated." The Arab commandos intend to see that there is no "backsliding" Walter E. Klein, executive direc- to it the Arab governments, Bee- tor of the Jewish Community Coun- by ston said. cil, will serve as secretary of the committee. It was pointed out that all Feder- ation member agencies were in- volved to some degree in programs serving the economically deprived, but that one function of the com- mittee on urban affairs would be to "encourage the creative initia- tion of individuals, organizations and agencies to extend themselves . . . to make available their re- sources of 'know-how,' manpower, physical facilities . . . where this can be done without impairing services to the Jewish community." The Telegraph reported from Cairo Tuesday that the Egyptian army and air force are not yet ready for another major war, and the Soviet officers working with them share this view. According to the paper, there is no war fever in Cairo as there was on the eve of the June 1967 war. The Times United Nations cor- respondent reported from New York Tuesday that no one seriously expects that a new United States administration will withhold mil- itary aid from Israel if the Jarring mission fails. "At the same time, Israel is not an American client in a political sense," he wrote.
