New Malben Proje cts to Assist Aged and Handicapped Children in Israel TEL AVIV—As it completes its 20th year of operations, Malben, the Joint Distribution Committee's health and welfare agency in Is- rael, has announced a series of new programs to broaden its serv- ices to the aged and to handicap- ped children, as well as initiating new projects in the fields of re- habilitatiodand mental health. Louis Bridal), JDC chairman, re- ported thal...TDC/Malben has in- creased its 1969 allocations for services to handicapped children almost fii/e-fold, from 150,000 pounds ($42,860) in 1968 to 715,000 pounds ($204,300) in 1969. Child development centers will be set up in Tel Aviv and in Jerusalem. Civil Aviation Unit Seeking to Curb Airliner Hijacking MONTREAL (JTA) — A legal subcommittee of the International Civil Aviation Organization has drawn up a draft convention by which any person who hijacks or tries to hijack an aircraft will be considered a criminal and any state signing the pact will agree to hold him under arrest until criminal proceedings can be started. The 13 member states compos- ing the subcommittee are Algeria, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, India, Israel, Japan, Nigeria, Switzerland, Tunisi a, United Kingdom and United States. The draft also stated that hi- jacking should be considered an extraditable offense in any extra- dition treaties between the mem- bers of the ICAO. The draft added that any state should consider hi- jacking as extraditable even in the absence of a treaty. The draft was referred to the ICAO Council which will decide on it. Any member nation holding a hi- jacker and refusing to extradite him will be obligated to submit the case to the competent authorities with a view to initiating legal pro- ceedings against the hijacker, ac- cording to the draft. If the draft is approved by the ICAO, each of the member coun- tries would have to pass enforc- ing legislation to implement it. In addition, an assessment cen- ter for handicapped children is to be opened next month in Beer- sheba. The child development cen- ters, Broido explained, will spe- cialize in early detection of de- fects and disabilities in the pre- natal, natal and postnatal stages, with regular follow-up examinations up to age 18. The centers also will provide guid- ance for parents and training of professional staff. Two new pilot programs to assist deaf and hard-of-hearing children are being instituted in the Tel Aviv elementary school sys- tem, Broido stated. Broido disclosed that JDC/Mal- ben has allocated 450,000 pounds ($128,570) over the next three years for a new geriatrics and re- habilitation ward for the chroni- cally ill in Jerusalem's Shaari Zedek Hospital. It will provide re- habilitation services, including oc- cupational and physiotherapy for the long-term patients. Broido also noted that Israel's first psychiatric day care center, to be operated within the frame- work of a general hospital, is scheduled to open in August. During 1969 JDC/Malben will continue to assist development towns in coping with their social welfare problems. A pilot project instituted in Beit Shemesh, in co- operation with local agencies, to detect, assess and prescribe treat- ment for the rehabilitation of the medically, socially and vocation- ally handicapped, will be con- tinued. Broido declared that the JDC/- sionally-trained personnel.
