Israel's Risk: Dayan Offers Cease Fire Despite Losses
HAIFA (JTA)—Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said here Monday night that Israel had halted deep-penetration raids into Egypt in order to avoid possible clashes
with Russian military personnel.
He asserted that Israel was ready to "re-establish an unconditional and unlimited cease fire" in the Suez Canal Zone as a step toward an eventual peace settlement,
even if by so doing Egypt is enabled to reorganize and put up SAM-3 missile sites.
Gen. Dayan's remarks, at a question-answer session with students, constituted the first acknowledgment by a top Israel government official that air raids deep
inside Egypt have been stopped. He said "We have till now had no clashes with Russians in spite of encounters over Egypt, and I am happy about it. I hope that we shall
have no clashes with Russians on land and that no Russians will he hit."
He added, however, that "We will continue to hold our present lines at all costs, and we shall not let the enemy undermine these lines."
He said "We will be careful in attack actions that might lead to a clash with the Russians. This is the reason why we discontinued the deep penetration into Egypt."
The defense minister said the recent Soviet escalation was aimed at showing the U. S. and Israel how far Moscow is prepared to go to back up the Arabs..He said

Russian involvement has released more Egyptians for combat action and resulted in increased Israeli casualties in the canal zone.

Campaign to Reach High Goal of $11,635,518
Allied Drive Victory Heralds
Assurance of Aid to Israel
Detroit Jewry's reply to the threats to Israel's
security was demonstrated on Wednesday evening
with unprecedented assured gifts of $11,635,518
announced at the victory dinner of the combined
Allied Jewish Campaign and Israel Emergency
Fund at the Jewish Center.
An enthusiastic gathering of volunteer workers
expressed its solidarity with the defenders of the
Jewish state by contributing the largest sum ever
raised here in the combined drive that assures sup-
port for Israel's vast program of providing for the
resettlement of Jews from lands of oppression, and
to guarantee the continued health and education
services for escapees from persecution. At the
same time the campaign's victorious results will
enable the continuation of health, education and
related services at home and abroad through the
50 agencies that are supported by the drive that
functions under the supervision of Detroit's Jew-
ish Welfare Federation.
There was a spirit of jubilation over the success of the Allied Jewish Campaign
at the dinner meeting Wednesday at the Jewish Center, as is indicated in the photo
on the right. In the center photo, Max M. Fisher (left) congratulates the campaign

Personnel of 10,000
Russians Take Over
Egypt's Defense Force
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Chief of Staff Gen.
Chaim Bar Lev asserted in a broadcast
interview that the Soviet Union had
taken over the entire Egyptian air-de-
fense system in certain areas. He said
the new evidence of Soviet pilot activity
on Egypt's side can be added to pre-
viously known information that includes
the Soviet's appropriation of air-defense
of the Soviet-installed SAM-3 ground-to-
air missiles, the anti-aircraft guns guard-
ing those missiles, the early-warning
system and the control system.
(Informed sources in Washington esti-
mated that Russia has about 10,000 ad-
visers and technicians in Egypt now
compared to about 3,500 at the begin-
ning of the year. According to these
sources, 1,509 Russians arrived during
February and March to install and op-
erate the SAM-3 anti-aircraft missile
bases. In the last month, 4,000-5,000 more
military personnel, including an unde-
termined number of pilots and ground
crewmen, arrived. They are said to have
assumed primary if not total responsi-
bility for Egypt's air defense.)
Maxwell Jospey, chairman of the campaign,
who presided at the dinner, summarized reports
submitted that night by announcing a total of
$11,127,118 already fully accounted for from
22,238 donors and indicated that "a careful ex-
amination of major prospects can safely anticipate
that the final total, from the more than 2,000
yet to be contacted, will be $11,635,518."
"This means," Jospey said, "that we will pro-

Shooting Deaths of 4 at Kent I.T. Deplored
by Lelyveld as Campus Protest Continues
NEW YORK (JTA)—The American Jewish Congress, commenting on the fatal shooting of four students at Kent University
in Ohio, declared in a statement Tuesday by Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld, Congress president, that "It is difficult to believe that any
combination of circumstances could have justified the killing of students Monday at Kent State University."
He said that "Protest—even violent protest—is not a crime punishable by death. It is inconceivable that the National
Guard troops on the Kent State campus had no alternative to firing live ammunition into a crowd of students because some of
them were throwing rocks."
"We grieve for those killed and those wounded, for their families and for the many other students who were exposed
to the horror of bloodshed," he said.

"President Nixon has indicated that the only lesson he draws from the killing of the students at Kent State is that, deeply-

dissent turns to violence, it invites tragedy. Even now,. the President does not appear to realize that we

Rabbi Lelyveld added "the adoption of get-tough policies, such as that of GOV. James Rhodes of Ohio, who called out
rifle-hearing troops to confront unarmed students, can only further exaggerate the tragic unrest on our nation's campuses. The
answer of the National Guard at Kent State, when dissent spilled over into violence, was to shoot to kill. The nation must make
it clear that it rejects that answer."
The two slain girls, both Jewish, were described as happy, normal college coeds by their friends and neighbors. Allison
Krause, daughter of the Arthur Krauses of Pittsburgh, had just celebrated her 19th birthday less than two weeks ago. Tier friends
said she was a gentle girl who frequently carried her pet kitten around the

Sandra Scheuer, 20, daughter of the Martin Scheuers of Youngstown, O.,
was reportedly trying to avoid the disorder while walking to class when she
was shot. Called Gittel—Goodness—by her parents, she was a junior majoring
in education and was helping out at a speech clinic. She liked to cook for the
two girls she lived with.
At the funeral for Miss Scheuer, Rabbi Richard Marcovitz, a family
friend, of Ohev Tzedek Temple, said "The hope is that her death will not have
