Israel Warns: Lebanon Must Keep
Border Secure; Movement Against
Hijacking Resumed Through Boycott
Apartments for Elderly
Under Way in Oak Park;
2,000 Seek Residence
By CHARLOTTE DUBIN
A spade full of dirt was turned Sunday morning, and the
hopes of hundreds of elderly Detroit Jews soared. For, in one
year, at that spot, 10 Mile Rd. near Greenfield, will stand a
15-story apartment building for them.
To the senior citizens in attendance, as well as those who
Israel has warned Lebanon that there will be retaliation if the border is left insecure.
Foreign Minister Abba Eban, Prime Minister Golda Meir and other responsible members of the
Israel government have made it known that Israel will insist upon continuation of the quiet
conditions between her and Lebanon.
In spite of the announcements from Cairo that Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser and
Yassir Arafat, the El Fatah leader, had reached an agreement that guerrillas were to be given
haven in Lebanon and were to be permitted to operate against Israel by going into action
outside the Israeli-Lebanese border, it appeared certain that Lebanon's President Charles
Helou is firm in his opposition to any demands from the guerrilla commandos.
Furthermore, reports from Lebanon are that Christian Maronite villages are resisting
pressures from the El Fatah and stand firm in opposition to any warlike acts against Israel.
In the main, the pressure upon Lebanon is from Syria,
but all indications are that Syria will refrain from sending

Syria's intransigent action against Israel assumed wider
proportion with recent actions and especially with the re-
fusal to release the two Israelis who were hijacked on Aug.

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Top level sources in Israel be-
lieve the present cease fire in Lebanon between Palestinian
guerrillas and the regime of President Charles Helot' has
settled nothing. The struggle for control of Lebanon is
continuing but President Helou is still standing firm against
the guerrillas and apparently has a large part of the Leb-
anese population behind him. according to these sources.
The sources here said the crisis in Lebanon is being
directed by the Soviet Union. which seeks to undermine
Lebanon's sovereignty. Syria is playing an active role but
will not move its army into Lebanon in the present circum-
stances, the Israelis said. They claimed that Syria prefers
to let the Palestinian El Fatah and the Damascus-sponsored
Al Saiga guerrilla group handle the situation for the present.
There are about 5.000 trained guerrillas in Lebanon. and
Syria is providing them with guns, food and transportation.

STOCKHOLM (JTA)—PrOf. Murray Gell-Mann, a New Yorker on the
faculty of the California Institute of Technology, was the recipient of the
1969 Nobel Prize in physics awarded here Oct. 30. Gell-Mann, who is Jew-
ish, was cited by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for "his con-
tributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary
particles and their interaction." Among these was the "quark," purported
to he the smallest known particle of matter.
Dr. Gell-Mann, 40, has been a leading theorist for many years in par-
ticle research. lie earned his bachelor of science degree at Yale University
in 1948 and his doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
1951. He joined the Caltech faculty in 1955. Five years ago he evolved a
theory concerning. the smallest particle in the universe, the so-called
"quark." The theory created a controversy in scientific circles, but it
appeared to be verified this year when an Australian scientist at the Uni-
versity of Sydney announced that he believed he had isolated the "quark."
Some of the peers of Prof. Gen-Mann consider him a possible successor
to the mantle of Albert Einstein.
