Golda's Health Reported
Good After Check-Up
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier
Golda Meir presided as usual Sun- I
day at the regular cabinet meeting
following what was described as a
routine check-up at the hospital.
Her personal physician, Prof. Jo- '
seph Rosenfeld of Beilinson Hos-
pital, said the 71-year-old Mrs.
Meir was in good ea .
The meeting was devoted mainly
to domestic affairs after a foreign
policy review by Foreign Minister
Abba Eban. One of the problems
examined was the threatened
strike by communication engineers
and technicians, who are working
under mobilization orders.
Officials said the walkout would
mean the suspension of most radio
and television broadcasts and a
cutting off of connections via cable
and telephone with the rest of the
world. No work, other than main-
tenance of normal water and elec-
tricity supplies, would be done.
The issue is more pay.
Devaluation of Pound
Rejected by Ministry
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Deputy Ft-
nance Minister Zvi Dinstein has
rejected any suggestion that the
Israeli pound be devalued again ,
asserting that such a move would
have no practical value and would
not improve the situation. He
stressed that a devaluation move '
was not under consideration in of-
ficial Israeli quarters.
Dinstein declared that devalua-
tion of the Israeli currency or an
increase in taxes would have a
greater deterrent effect on invest-
ment in Israel than fears about the
security situation. He said what
should be done to narrow the trade
gap and cut Israel's adverse for-
eign trade balance would be to re-
duce imports, increase exports and
diminish the increase in private
consumption in Israel.

Anti-Christian Trends
Found in Anti-Semitism
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Inter-
national Congress on Jewish Stud-
ies ended here Monday. The gath-
ering was attended by social
scientists and historians from Is-
rael and overseas who discussed
a wide range of subjects dealingi
wih Jewish life from ancient times
to contemporary events.
One paper that attracted atten-
tion locally was presented by Dr.
Uri Tal of the Hebrew University,
who discussed the anti-Christian
trends in modern anti-Semitism.
According to Dr. Tal, modern
anti-Semitism is a continuation of
anti-Jewish manifestations in
Christian theology. But after the
1870s it was influenced by a gen-
eral anti-religious trend with a
strong strain of anti-Christianism.
Dr. Tal said that racial anti-
Semitism of the type practiced
by the Nazis determined that
Christianity was essentially a con-
tinuation and accentuation of the
defects inherent in Judaism. The
anti-Semites such as the Nazi
idealogue, Alfred Rosenberg, he
said, held that both Judaism and
Christianity lead ultimately to
man's estarngement from his nat-
ural state.

dent of the congregation. Rodeph
Sholom is one of the nation's larg-

tract had been signed with an

tectural plans were approved and
that it was hoped the day school

pancy in September 1971. Initial-

Sinai Sand Dunes Bloom
Into Religious Settlement
JERUSALEM (JTA)—More than
25 acres of sand dunes, prepared
for vegetable growing by a special
irrigation process, have been
turned over to a religious settle-
ment in the northern Sinai Penin-
sula by the Jewish National Fund.
The JNF said the process in-
volves use of plastic hoses with
perforations through which water
drips continuously on the vegeta-
ble seedings. The Bnai Akiva set-
tlement is east of El Arish. The
JNF said it was preparing addi-
tional land for such cultivation.
So great is the variety of Michi-
gan foods that Michigan comes
closer to setting the family table
completely — breakfast, lunch and
dinner—than any other state.
