military expert.

Mrs. Siris is one of the few
women in the country to serve as
a campaign chairman of a major
Jewish community — one that
raises $60,000,000. Her father,
Samuel Kappel, was a founder of
the United Jewish Appeal, and her
mother served as chairman of the
. Brooklyn women's division.
Mrs. Siris' years of experience
and service also have made her an
effective leader of the New York
and United Jewish Appeal Wo-
men's Divisions. She has held vir-
tually every major post of leader-
ship in the division. As chairman
of the Israel Education Fund, she
was the guiding force behind the
building of the Edith Lehman High
School in Dimona, Israel.

The dinner, for pre-campaign
prospects, is the only formal affair
of the campaign.

Frankfurt, rates Israel's counter-
intelligence as the equal of those
in England, France, Soviet Russia
and Red China, and in some re-
spects even superior.
According to the author, the fol-
lowing accounts for Israel's intelli-
gence being on a higher plane
than that of other nations:
Shin-Bet is composed of men and
women who have lived in Arab
countries before coming to Israel.
Many of them, more at home in
Arabic than in Hebrew, have a
profound understanding of the
Arab mind.
Quite a few of Shin-Bet's person-
nel command a wide range of lan-
guages, stemming as they do from
various countries throughout the
world.
Author Buchheit also argues that
Israel's Shin-Bet is assisted by
many Jews who cooperate with
Israeli agents abroad.

Buchheit reveals that the Iraqi
pilot who flew his MIG airplane
to Israel just before the outbreak
of the Six-Day War was connect.
ed with Israel's secret service.
Thanks to this coup, Israel bad
all the secret data on Soviet
military aircraft with which Is-
raeli pilots would have to cope
during the fighting. It Is also
reported that Israel possessed
all details on Arab airports in
which the MIGs were concen-
trated and that precise informa-
tion on the composition of Arab
armies and their placement were
also at hand.
"As for Arab counter-intelli-
gence, which has been modeled
after the Gestapo, it never dis-
tinguished itself for efficiency, and
constitutes no more than a branch
of Soviet counterespionage," ac-
cording to author Buchheit.
