When an American de.

Weekend in Swedish waters,

gobs
taros
aboard decided to go to

limb.

Unable to under-
stand one word of Swedish, they resolved to play safe by sitting
behind a solid-looking citizen and doing whatever he did.
In the course of the service, the pastor paused to make some
special announcement, whereupon the citizen leaped to his feet,
'The two sailors promptly did likewise, whereupon the entire con.
gregation dissolved into a gale of laughter.
Later the sailors learned the cause of the merriment. The pas•
tor had• announced a baptism and requested the father of the

JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Spokes-
men for the Orthodox Agudat
Israel Party have sharply attack-
ed the leaders of the Orthodox
Workers' Party, Mizrachi Poale
Hamizrachi, for supporting Golda
Meir as prime minister.
Agudat Israel, which is not a
part of Golda Meir's cabinet, in-
sists that it is not in accordance
with Jewish law to have a woman
as head of the government quot-
ing, "A king shall rule over you
and not a queen."
The leaders of Mizrachi found
a justification for their action:

Deborah the prophetess, led the
Jewish people in war; Israel is at
present also at war. Secondly, the
symbol of the state is President
Zalman Shazar, and not the
woman Golda Meir, who is "only"
premier.
