`Come and See Us,'
Israel Tells UN
Censure Nations

quate. The resolution said that if
Israel ignored the rescinding order,
the Council would "reconvene with-
out delay to consider what further
action should be taken." _
The resolution asserted that all
"legislative a n d administrative
measures and actions by Israel
which purport to alter the status
of Jerusalem, including expropria-
tion of-land and properties thereon.
are invalid and cannot change that
status."
Tekoah said Israel hoped that
Jordan, which took the issue to
the Council. would realize that
such actions would not bring a
solution to the Mideast dispute.
Jordanian Ambassador Mohammed
H. el-Farra proposed that the
Council proceed with "further ac-
tion," saying that sanctions against
Israel were "now the only remain-
ing alternative."
The 15 Security Council mem-
bers who voted to censure Israel
were urged to come to Jerusa-
lem t8 see how the united city
was flourishing. The invitation
was voiced by the Minister of
tourism and development, Moshe
Kol, who spoke at ceremonies re-
opening the restored Jaffa Gate,
one of the Old City's main en-
trances.
"Let them come and see for
themselves the results of the acts
of destruction and vandalism in
Jerusalem's Old City and in the

Jewish cemetery on the Mount of

Olives carried out during 19 years
of Jordanian occupation." Kol
said. "And let them see for them-

selves the accelerated development

projects carried out by Israel since
the Six-Day War."

Agnon Reported
Seriously Ill

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli

writer S. Y. Agnon, co-winner of
the 1966 Nobel Prize for litera-

ture, was hospitalized Tuesday
after he collapsed in his home
here. He was found on the floor
when police were summoned by
neighbors and relatives who
noticed his house was too quiet.
He is reported in serious condi-
tion and has been given oxygen.
He will be 81 July 18. and has
lived in Israel 60 years.
Born in Galicia, Agnon has liv-

ed in Jerusalem since 1924 when

he moved to the then remote Ta!-
piot section. Writing in Hebrew,
his works range from stories of
Polish pogroms 300 years ago to

modern life in Israel.
Some of his works, including
"Two Gates" and "In The Heart
of the Seas", have been translated
into English as well as 15 other

languages. Many of his stories
concern life in Jaffa just before
World War I and in Jerusalem
after World War II. He was twice
nominated for the Nobel Prize in
literature before he was an-
nounced the joint winner of the
prize with Sweden's poetess Nelly
Sachs, on Oct. 20, 1966. A des-
cendent of a line of Talmudic i

scholars, Agnon is well versed in
judaic lore and religion. He pub-
lished his first verses in Hebrew
and Yiddish when he was 15. His
works are reviewed as classics.

New Eilat Hotel

EILAT—The new Solomon Hotel
will open this month in Israel's
rapidly growing vacation center of
Eilat, built by American investors
with the cooperation of the Israel
government. The nearly $1,000,000
project will offer 62 air-conditioned
double rooms overlooking the Red
Sea, and close to the heart of the
budding Eilat city center. The pro-
ject was developed by Y. Pimen-
tal Ltd. and is operated by the
owners, who are long-time Ameri-
can residents of Israel.

Federation Slates $1,800,000 for Health,
Welfare, Education, Community Relations

Allocations of more than $1,800,-
000 to local Jewish health, welfare
and educational agencies for 1969-
70 operations were approved by the
board of governors of the Jewish
Welfare Federation, Hyman Saf-
ran, president, reported
After budget hearings over the
past months in which agencies
presented their requests through
the budget and planning divisions,
the board of governors voted ap-
proval of the allocations which are
$139,000 more than in 1968-69. The
funds were raised during the 1969
Allied Jewish Campaign — Israel
Emergency Fund.
The pre-campaign budget con-
ference last December indicated
that increased local allocations
should be limited to meet rising
costs and essential additional serv-
ices.
Health and welfare agencies
received the largest amount—
$804,018 — to help provide the
variety of social and cultural
services needed by the Jewish
community. The funds from Fed-
eration make up the anticipated
deficit of the agencies which also
receive support through member-
ships, fees, tuition, service
charges and United Foundation
funds through the United Com-
munity Services.
Dr. Peter G. Shifrin, chairman
of the health and welfare division,
made the presentation of recom-
mendations to the board.
Sharing in the health and wel-
fare allocations are: the Fresh Air
Society, $35,590; Hebrew Free Loan
Association, $1,527; Jewish Com-
munity Center, $225,000; Jewish
Family and Children's Service,
$111,526; Jewish Home for Aged,
S100,000; Jewish House of Shelter,
$2,121; Jewish Vocational Service-
Community Workshop, $123,028;
Resettlement Service, $92,726; Sinai
Hospital research projects, $100,-
000: Tamarack Hills Authority,
$13,500.
Allocations of $719,926 were
made for Jewish education, with
the largest sum for the United
Hebrew Schools system.
The schools received an alloca-
tion of $610,164. School officials
estimated that the total 1969-70
budget would be $1,045,614. Tuition
and other income make up almost
half the total cost of operation.
Beth Yehudah Afternoon School
received $40,293; Combined Jewish
Schools, $37,969, and the United
Hebrew Schools Day Schools pro-

ject, $31,500. The day schools pro-
ject includes teaching services for
Hillel Day School, Akiva and Beth
Yehudah.
George M. Zeltzer, chairman of
the education division, presented
the school budget recommendations
at the meeting.
The Jewish Community Coun-
cil will receive $142,118 for its
Community relations activities in
1969-70.
The Community Relations Divi-
sion under the chairmanship of
Lewis S. Grossman, recommend-
ed a $15,000 increase over last
year's budget because of high costs
and intensified problems in urban
affairs. Richard L. Kux, member
of the Division, made the presen-
tation at the board meeting.
Administrative and central serv-
ices of the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion and the campaign and collec-
tion operations for the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign-Israel Emergency
Fund have budgeted $566,070 for
1969-70.
Of this amount 72.5 per cent or
$410,400 is for fund-raising and
collection operations or approxi-
mately four cents of each dollar
raised. The remaining 27.5 per cent
or $155,670 is administration share
for year-round programs of Fed-
eration, its central services for

548-5600

agencies, budgeting divisions, and
organizational activities.
The Board indicated that in some
instances allocations were tentative
and subject to later review based
on agency experience. In develop.
ing recommendations the Budget
and Planning Divisions used the
pre-campaign budget formula as a
guide.

Autopsy Neglect
Brings Rebukes

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Knes-
set Finance Committee rebuked the
health ministry, charging negli-
gence in application of regulations
covering autopsies in government
hospitals, an issue which has roiled
Orthodox Jews inside and outside
of Israel.
In summarizing its discussions,
which concerned the State Control-
ler's report, the committee said it
regarded with the "utmost gravity"
the "violations' of the law cover-
ing such autopsies. The committee
expressed concern over the fact
that the health ministry had not
created machinery for inspection
of the implementation of the meas-
ure but it noted that since publica-
tion of the controller's report on
the issue, the health ministry had
acted to carry out recommenda-
tions for inspection to assure com-
pliance with the law. The commit-
tee instructed the controller to fol-
low through the matter and report
on compliance to the committee.

You can expect this from the world-wide company that invented the Pneu-
