children, Baruch said that as li-
brarian for the Detroit Board of
Education a n d
director of Camp r
Petosega in Pet- t
osk ey, he has
had an opportu-
ieltleak
nity to develop a
broad viewpoint
of the state's %%re'
problems "and
an insight into
the logical prior-
ities of our edu-
cational system."
He strongly ad-,

equitably over the entire popula-
tion rather than penalizing the
home owner, "and the re-alloca-
tion of available tax income to
more realistically meet the needs
of the state and its people.
Vice-president of the Southfield

Ronald Hecker, vice chairman
of the 19th District Democratic
Party and chairman of the Li-
vonia Democratic Club, announced
he is a candidate for Congress
in the 19th District.
Hecker, in his campaign for
congress called for support of the
Senate amendments to end the
war in Indo-China and urged that
the U.S. sell arms to Israel so
as to maintain the balance of pow-
er in the Middle East and pre-
serve the existence of Israel.
Hecker further called for the U.S.
to persuade the Arabs and Israelis
to enter into immediate peace ne-
gotiations.
Hecker added that he agreed

with the President that the
greatest danger to U.S. and
world peace was in the Middle
East and not Indo China, and it
is the Arab nations, not Israel,
that are threatening to drive
their enemy Into the sea. Until
true peace can be achieved, Is-
rael must maintain a military
superiority over the Arab na-
tions, he said.

Hecker, a member of Temple
Kol Ami and Bnai Brith, lives
with his wife and two children in
Livonia.
The 19th District is composed of
Livonia and Redford Township in
Wayne County. and Farmington,
West Bloomfield. Waterford. and
Pontiac in Oakland County.

Annetta Miller Warns
of Shift in Balance
if Israel Bid Unheeded

Mrs. Annetta Miller, candidate
for Congress in the 18th District,
has issued a statement calling for
immediate sale of U.S. jets to Is-
rael to maintain the balance of
power that is in danger of tipping
away from her favor.
"Reports of the presence of
Soviet pilots flying operational
missions in Egyptian aircraft and
the installation of SAM-3's in Cen-
tral Egypt raises the immediate
threat of an escalation of the Arab-
Israeli conflict," said Mrs. Miller.
A realistic American policy re-
quires that we counteract Soviet
military assistance to the Arab
states by providing Israel witn
military equipment to deter this
aggression."
"Israel today needs planes and
other military hardware, not prom-
ises. The excuse that Israeli air
supremacy indicates that she does
not need more jets is no longer
valid. Her recent losses in aircraft
prove that the military balance in
that area is rapidly changing. We
cannot falter or delay in providing
Israel military aid for to refuse
is to offer an open invitation to
further incursions by the Soviets."

Mrs. Romney, who spoke in.
formally to a group of news-
' paperwomen from throughout
the state at her home in Bloom-
field Hills last week, said her
moral approach to issues has
been strongly influenced by her
religious upbringing (Mormon).
She is brotherhood chairman of
the National Conference of
Christians and Jews.

She expressed agreeable surprise
when it was pointed out that a
favorite saying, taught by her
father—"If I am only for myself,
who am I? and If not now, when?"
—is a portion of a longer excerpt
from Ethics of the Fathers.
