Israel Downs 3 Egyptian MIGs
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli
jet fighters Tuesday shot down
three Egyptian MIG-21 intercep-
tors in a ferocious fight involving
air-to-air missiles and cannons
over the Suez Canal sector and
returned to base without any losses,
a military spokesman said.
Egypt claimed that it lost one
plane, shot down an Israel jet and
damaged another. Israel would not
say if its recently acquired Ameri-
can Phantom F-L4 jets were in-
volved in the dogfights.
One of the Egyptian planes ex-
ploded mid air and crashed on
Egyptian soil south of the town of
Suez, a second was seen spinning
earthward with half a wing torn
away and the third crashed as
the pilot bailed out.
The downing of the Egyptian ,
planes brought to 58 the number
of the Cairo government's air
losses since the 1967 war, as against
nine Israeli losses, including one
Piper Cub, the Israeli military
spokesman said. The fight was the
first since Oct. 16, when Israel said
there were three MIG "kills."

Israel's Women Ci vilian Labor Force
By HAIM SHACHTER
Of the 277,300 women, constitut-
ing 29 per cent of the total civilian
labor force in Israel, who were
employed in 1968, 256,000 women,
(92 per cent) were actually work-
ing in the year under review. Of
these 152,400 (55 per cent) were
in full employment; 88,400 (32
per cent) in partial employment.
Compared with figures for 1967,
the Israel economy employed an
additional 23,200 women. Insofar
as women in full employment are
concerned the accretion in 1968
was 25,100. This data is supplied
by the Statistical Abstract of Is-
rael for 1969, which has just been
published.
The total number of Jewish
women in the labor force in 1968
was 268,500. 247,600 Jewish women,
(92 per cent) were actually work-
ing. Of these, 147,100 women (55
per cent) worked full time, and
86,000 (32 per cent) worked part
time.
Other data in the new Statistical
Abstract shows that 46 per cent of
all Jewish unmarried women of
14 years and upwards belonged to
the civilian labor force, as against
only abut 25 per cent of the mar-
ried women in the country.
Of the Jewish married women
with children of less than two
years of age, only 20 per cent
worked. Where the youngest child
in the family was aged between 10
and 13, over one-third of the
women went to work.
A perusal of the abstract shows
that the larger the number of chil-
dren in the family the smaller the
percentage of women at work; 36
per cent of the women employed
had one child. Only 16 per cent
were mothers of three children
and over.

JWB Progress Report
on Program to Create Iles
With College Students
NEW YORK (JTA)—Jewish col-
, lege students consulted in a year-
old National Jewish Welfare Board
project to bring about closer ties
between such students and Jewish
community centers have stressed
, their desire to manage their own
programs on campus.
They also want to make their
own determination about the rele-
vance of Judaism and Jewish val-
ues to current issues and conflicts.
A third point made by the stu-
dents, according to Morris L.
Levinson, chairman of the JWB
national advisory committee on
college youth, was that they want-
ed financial help with no strings
attached by the Jewish com-
munity and its agencies, "however
innovative and challenging their
activities may turn out to be. They
believe that payment of a mem-
bership fee should not be a condi- .
tion of participation in Jewish
community center programs con-
ducted in center facilities or else-
where." •
