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." ,an n ouncements Nov. 5—To Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward Menczer (Faye Mathis), 17243 Bonstelle, Southfield, a son, David Bernard. * * • Nov. 5—To Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lezell ; (Hannah Stein), former Detroiters of East Lansing, a daughter, Jo Beth. * s • Nov. 2—To Mr. and Mrs. Ray- mond C.

In the air war over the Suez on Monday, Egyptian planes hit two points on the eastern shore of the canal, but no casualties or damage was reported. Israeli planes struck Egyptian targets on the canal's west bank. An Israeli civilian was killed and two others were wounded in a Jordanian mortar attack near Ashdod Yaacov in the Northern Beisan Valley Tuesday. All three were employes of the Mekorot Water Co. Four Israeli soldiers were wound- ed in a mortar duel between Is- raeli and Egyptian forces across the southern end of the Suez Canal Tuesday night. Another Israeli soldier was wounded Wednesday morning in a clash with Arab guer- rillas in the Arava district of the Negev about 13 miles north of Eilat. An Israeli patrol engaged the guerrillas along the Jordanian border near Beer Ora and reported that it inflicted several casualities. Israel air force jets attacked Egyptian positions along the Suez Canal for 45 minutes Tuesday af- ternoon and returned safely to their ba s es despite antiaircraft fire. The attack followed a morn- ing dogfight over the waterway, in which Israeli pilots downed three Egyptian MIG-21 interceptors. An Israeli military spokesman noted that Israeli jets have been attacking Egyptian artillery bat- teries, anti-aircraft gun emplace- ments and ground-to-air missile sites almost daily since July 21. He said the Israeli objective has been to retain command of the air over Suez, preventing-the Egyp- tians from repairing and re-deploy- ing their defenses. Two Egyptian destroyers and several smaller craft shelled the Israel-occupied northern Sinai coast last weekend but were • driven off by Israeli planes.

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.

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." • JDC Meeting to Hear Developments in Europe NEW YORK—Samuel L.
