JTA Announces
Staff Promotions

NEW YORK (JTA)—Robert H.
Arnow, president of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, announced
Wednesday what he called a
"strengthening of the professional
structure" of JTA.
In line with new developments
within the JTA during his two-and-
one-half-year tenure as president,
he said that Victor M. Bienstock,
36-year veteran of the JTA, and
overseas correspondent, who has
functioned as general manager,
would become vice-president in
charge of editorial services.
Jack Siegel, who has been direc-
tor of development, has been ap-
pointed vice president responsible
for administrative and financial
operations. John Kayston will con-
tinue in the position of business
manager to which he was recently
appointed.
Arnow pointed out that the re-
organization of responsibilities will
allow Bienstock to concentrate on
the editorial field in which his ex-
perience counts most. Siegel, who
recently has been unofficially han-
dling administrative and financial
matters, will be responsible for
these areas in the regional and
international offices.
Arnow said that "it is necessary
to take advantage of abilities of
each in order to advance JTA to
a point where it can fully and ef-
fectively serve as the best news
agency of its kind." He said it is
important that JTA, a communal
news agency, objective and inde-
pendent in its approach but which
serves the Jewish people, should
have the best professional image.

`Keren Hayesod to Raise
$70 Million Outside U.S.'

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Keren
Hayesod of United Jewish Appeal
will raise a record total of $70,000,-
000 for Israel in 1969 outside of
the United States, according to
Dr. Israel Goldstein, world chair-
man of the Keren Hayesod, the
fund-raising arm of the world
Zionist movement.
Dr. Goldstein, in New York on
his annual Rosh Hashana visit,
said the sum represented a 50
per cent increase over contribu-
tions made in 1968. It is used by
the Jewish Agency to finance im-

now. So do Nasser's Soviet military advisers.
LI 1-2563
The Israeli intelligence apparatus prides itself on knowing exactly
what the present strength is of the Arab military forces. Israel knows,
for instance, that Egypt now has more warplanes than she had at the
outbreak of the Six Day War. Israel also knows the type, the quality,
and the quantity of other weapons supplied to the Arab countries by
the Soviet Union since the Six Day War. She is well informed of the
role that Soviet military instructors play in training the Egyptians.
She knows that one can now find a Soviet officer attached to every
Egyptian military unit, even small as a battalion.

The prevailing opinion among the top Israeli military commanders
is that Nasser will think twice before deciding on a "fourth round."
Israeli commanders' are certain that Israel would win a "fourth
round." This is clear to Nasser and his Soviet military experts and no
surprise attack on Israel is therefore expected this year.
MILITARY AIM: None in the Israel high command believe that
Israel could win a new war in only six days. The aim of Israel's mili-
tary leaders is to shorten the length of time that may be required for
the complete defeat of the enemy in the event of any new war. And
this, they think, they can achieve.
Nasser and his Soviet military advisers learned one thing from
the Egyptian air attacks carried out during the last few weeks in the
and
Suez Canal area. They were convinced that while the Soviet-equipped
Egyptian air force is larger than ever, it cannot compare in quality
to the Israeli flyers. In the recent air duels, the Egyptians lost about
40 Soviet MIGs while Israel lost only three planes, two of them on
anti-aircraft fire.
Foreign military experts with whom I spoke in Israel, are of the
opinion that Egyptian pilots, though trained by Russians, do not com-
pare with Israeli combat flyers. The Israeli pilots demonstrate greater
initiative at critical moments. Arab fliers fly "by the book." When an

unforeseen situation develops, the Egyptian fliers become confused and
try to escape or are shot down.

the possibility of a new Arab war will recede even more. Modern
weapons in the hands of the Israelis are considered the best guarantee

that Nasser will not start the "fourth round" for which he is being
pressed by extremists in his own ranks.

THE SECURITY PICTURE: Israel does not think in terms of
starting a war. But its leaders are determined to retaliate against the
terrorist incidents on the Jordanian and other fronts, and against Egyp-
tian "pinpricks" in the Suez area. The Israeli military replies force-
fully in the border incidents but does not consider these incidents as a
war challenge. They regard the shootings as a demonstration of Arab * SATURDAY
weakness rather than strength; they are intended to bolster Arab
and
morale and are directed mainly against Israeli civilians in the border
area.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Bialystok Uprising Noted on 26th Anniversary

■41.11

LONG BEACH, Cal. (JTA) —
The Jewish Family Service has
created three therapy groups for
the growing number of adolescence
involved in drugs who have been
referred to the agency and another
group for parents of these chil-
dren, according to a report by the
JFS Associates, an auxiliary of
the family service agency.
JFS Associates described the
drug program in an appeal for ad-
ditional members to help raise
funds because of a very tight budg-
et. The agency itself reported that
its staff has been working with
young people involved in drugs and
with their families. The agency
called the drug problem "an area

of crisis in which the agency is be-
coming increasingly involved."
