Eban, Accepting Honorary Doctorate, Looks Toward Mid East Independence NEW YORK — Israel's foreign minister, Abba Eban, predicted here Sunday that the 1970s will bring "an era of autonomy in the Middle East." Eban, who was awarded a doc- tor of Hebrew letters by the Jew- ish Theological Seminary at a spe- cial convocation, said "For the first time in modern history, its (the Middle East's) destinies will be controlled by its own people and its own governments. "The war of 1967 shattered the illusion of externality both the Arab nationalist illusion that Is- rael hag ao place in the area, and the world illusion that the region can be controlled by outside powers," said Eban. The presentation made by Dr. Louis Finkelstein, chancellor of the seminary, said that Eban has "placed all Jewry, and indeed all civilization, in your debt through Youth on the Move Jeffrey Marc Krakower, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Krakower, was recently named Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Michi- gan. Jeff has completed his studies at the University of Michigan as of next month, and although a junior, he has been accepted at Stanford Medical School in Palo Alto, Calif., where he will resume his studies in September. In six semesters at U. of M., Jeff has maintained a perfect scholarship average of 4. In his freshman year, he was a recipient of the William J. Bran- strom award and was named an Angell Scholar as a sophomore. This past year, Jeff has been work- ing as a research assistant on a project financed by the National Institute of Health and will con- tinue this reasearch throughout the summer. Jeff is engaged to Judy Ellen Duckworth of Flint, and the Marriage will be solemnized Aug. EL 16 at Temple Beth • s • Gary J. Hurand, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hurand, was awarded bachelors degree in Michigan state University's winter com- mencement. • • • Brian Kronick, son of Dr. and Mrs. Peter Kronick, won the Mich- igan Northeastern District diving championship for the Midget Divi- Sion. Mrs. Paul (Eve) Liebert of Grand Rapids has been elected to a three-year term as secretary of Bnai Brith's national vocational guidance program, which provides college and career counseling to some 40,000 youths annually through 20 regional offices. Mrs. Liebert, 2271 Academy N.E., is a member of Bnai Brith Women's national executive board, a past president of BBW's Mid western district and a former na- tional commissioner of Bnai Brith's adult Jewish education program. Locally, she has served on the executive board of the Kent County Mental Health Association, advisory committee of the Kala- mazoo State Hospital and the Mayor's Committee on Open Housing. "The fact," Eban continued, "is that the Middle East has lost its strategic importance—and happy is the nation that has lost its stra- tegic importance in this world. No longer is Israel a crossroad — the Middle East is not on the way to anywhere. No longer is it merely an oilfield. The concept of outly- ing bases is anachronistic in this era of vanished empires." "Israel's cause can only be pre- sented in terms of universal Jew- ish humanism," said Eban, assert- ing that "History has taught us that there are no possibilities for our extinction that are too ex- treme. This is the point of refer- ence for everything we do and everything we say. If you under- stand our memories, you under- stand our policy — Never, never, never to return to - the position of political vulnerability from which we so narrowly escaped two years ago. It is time to be satisfied with nothing less than peace." He added: "There is a time in a people's history when it is more important to be alive than to be popular. First we will ensure our survival, and then we will win worldwide approval for our acts." New Yonkers Weekly YONKERS, N.Y.
