Bonds Spur Growth
of Israel's Oil Supply
JERUSALEM — About $22,000,-
000 from Israel's development
budget is being used this year
for drilling for new sources
of oil and constructing a 42-inch
oil pipeline in Israel. Approximate-
ly half the funds in this budget are
derived from the sale of Israel
Bonds. Israel now produces about
12 per cent of all its domestic oil
requirements, while imported oil
supplies are carried by pipeline
from tankers in Eilat to the re-
fineries at Haifa via a pipeline con.
structed with the aid of Israel
Bonds.

Fishbein's Story: Most Skillful Biography
"Morris Fishbein, M.D.—An Auto-
biography," published by Double-
day, could well be called a medical
history. But it is more than that:
it is also a history of our time, of
the era of the revolt of the 1920s
and 1930s as preludes to the current
period; it is a review of literary
attainments, an intimate story
about distinguished men and wom-
en who were part of Dr. Fishbein's
life and with whom he was associ-
ated in Chicago.
For doctors, this book is especial-
ly important because it relates the
story of the American Medical As-
sociation and Dr. Fishbein's associ-
ation with it. His assumption of the
DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
editorship of the American Medical
Journal, his long career in that
role, his share in many medical
planning sessions — these form a
story that emerges as a chapter in
American medical history of un-
usual merit.
Regrettably, he does not refer in
his story to the role he played in
the planning of the Detroit Sinai
Hospital. But in its entirety this
autobiography covers vast fields
and is fascinating reading.
of Conservative Judaism and a
president of the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America. There I came
to know well Anna Mantel, who was
to become my devoted wife, by
everyone beloved. Our fathers had
participated in founding the con-
gregation and in purchasing the
church which was converted to the
synagogue. I annoyed the learned
rabbi, who had been a lawyer and
then became a rabbi, by paying
more attention to Anna than to
him. When the time came for my
bar mitzva, I read from the scrolls
the portion for the day. The news
of this performance must have
reached the North Side Temple,
largely for German Jews, because
I was invited to join its confirma-
tion class and read the scrolls of
the law again. Thus I was con-
firmed twice! I made a speech in
the synagogue—one of those that

books, ties, and a Waltham watch—
my first watch. In the North Side
Temple, each of us was assigned
a quotation. Mine was: 'A good
name is better than precious oil.' "
The good name lasted, and Dr.
Fishbein made many friends and
exerted great influence upon this
country's health program. As a
leader in the AMA's stand against
socialized medicine, in his battle
against the Wagner-Murray-Dingell
Bill which aimed at socialized
health services. In that effort he
was the ultra-conservative in his
Jewish role he may have posed as
the progressive—as the above quo-
tation which in itself points to bur-
lesqueing of the Bar Mitzva—but he
actually was rather detached. There
are many references to Jews in his !
book. But he could have done more
by indicating how a numerus clan-
sus was practiced in American
colleges and how it was fought in I

Fishbein's sense of humor. He
tells a good story and he has re-
tained recollections of some un•
usual experiences which he shares
with his readers in his life's
story.
The Fishbein autobiography,
one of his more than 20 books. is
an excellent example of the liter-
ary skill of the eminent doctor-
editor. His extensive writings, nis
many essays and magazine arti-
cles, matched his endless speak-
ing tours. He bad a special sense
of humor, possessed a good me-
mory that is in evidence in his
autobiography because of the
many tales he relates as he re-
calls his varied adventures both
on the speaking platform as well
as in the course of his organiza-
tional efforts for AMA that often
assumed political aspects.
He tells, at the outset about his
Bar Mitzva. and while there is a
blunder in his stating that Jewish
boys are Bar Mitzva at 12, the
account of his own confirmation is
interesting. He relates that he had
a double confirmation and explains:
"I was bar mitzva in a syna-
gogue and confirmed in a temple. I
had attended the Sunday school of
a Conservative congregation head-
ed by Rabbi Charles I. Hoffman, a

las a leader in the medical world,
the stores he relates serve to intro-
duce his many associates, among
whom were very many of the most
noted writers. As an editor and an
author, he had occasion to befriend
Ben Hecht, Maxwell Bodenheim,
Dorothy Thompson, Sinclair Lewis
and many, many others. The anec-
dotes relating to these people, the
events that marked their joint ex-
periences, the conflicts, personali-
ties, historic occurrences — these
combine to elevate an autobiogra-
phy that has shortcomings but pos-
sesses great merit as narrative and
as a collection of facts about the
history of the past half-century in
politics and professions into a ma
jor literary work.

WHAT ARE BELTED TIRES ...
AND DO YOU NEED THEM?
The family of belted tires consists of two types: A) the
Bias (criss-cross) ply with a belt; B) the Radial Ply (ply
structure radiating out from the center of the fire) with
a belt. In both cases the belt runs all the way around the
tire, the width of the tread. This tends to brace the tread
by adding a distortion-free "foundation" to the tread,
forcing the tire to roll "rounder" (and hence, more effici-
ently,) roll longer for better mileage, stop quicker, and
respond faster.
Both tires retain the elastic performance of the 2-ply
sidewall, yet possess a puncture resistant 4-ply tread area.
So, if you spend 5O% or more of your time on high speed
roads, the slight extra cost can be justified by the in-
creased mileage, handling and safety.
When you think of belted tires, think of the company
who invented the idea in 1914. DUNLOP!
