significant contribution to the al-
leviation of suffering."

Israel's Peace Pilot Takes to Waters
With 6,000,000 Pounds of Aid for Biafra
NEW YORK — A b i e Nathan.
Israel's "peace pilot," is coordin-
ating the dispatching of a ship to
Biafra with 3,000 tons of food and
medicine. The ship, which groups
in Holland, England, Canada and
the United States are cosponsor-
ing, will leave New York Jan. 7 for
the island of Sao Tome, from which
shuttle flights will convey the car-
go to Biafra.
Nathan has just returned to New
York after making two mercy
flights to Biafra under the spon-
sorship of the Biafra Relief Serv-
ices Foundation. He brought in and
distributed $700,000 in drugs and
high protein food collected here
with the assistance of Bnai Brith
and the International Rescue Com-
mittee.
The Biafra Relief Services
Foundation, 777 United Nations
Plaza, is raising funds in the
United States to help pay for
the cost of the project and is
accepting tax-deductible contri-
butions. The International Res-
cue Committee is coordinating
the collection of food and medi-
cine here for the ship.
The ship, a Norwegian freighter,
is being chartered in Holland with
the assistance of several Dutch
groups. About 1,000 tons of food
from Holland, Sweden, England
and Israel will be loaded in Ams-
terdam and in London, the ship's
next stop.
The ship left Amsterdam Thurs-
day for London and will arrive
Jan. 2 in New York, where the
additional 2,000 tons of food col-
lected in Canada and the United
States will be loaded. The entire
cost of the project has been esti-
mated at $460,000.
A plane carrying 40 tons of food
and machines, dispatched from
New York Sunday by the Catholic
Relief Services, Protestant Church
World Service and the American
Jewish Emergency Effort for Bia-
fran Relief, was to arrive at the
island of San Tome Monday. The
supplies will be flown into Biafra
on the nighttime air-shuttles oper-
ated by Joint Church Aid, a com-
posite group of Catholic and Pro-
testant relief agencies. The Jewish
group represents 21 major national
Jewish organizations. It paid the
$40,000 cost of the charter flight.
It previously contributed $38,000 to
Catholic emergency programs for
Biafra and sponsored a series of
newspaper ads throughout the
country.
Pnstwar Boy Baby Boom
•
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — A postwar
phenomenon is repeating itself in
Israel. More boys than girls are
being born after the Six-Day War,
as was the case after the War of
Liberation in 1948 and after the
Sinai Campaign in 1956. Statistics
also reveal that the birth rate in
the country increased after June 5,
1967.
