The Israeli Embassy in Washington denied reports that Israel
could produce an atomic bomb, saying its atomic research program
was "directed exclusively to peaceful use." Prof. David Bergman, head
of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, said: "The report is very
flattering, but is grossly exaggerated. Israel's industry is not capable
of such a task."

The shelters were built to pro-
tect the lives of children and adults
during two years of almost nightly
shellings from Jordan. The settle
ments of the Beisan and Jordan
valleys were the prime targets of
Arab guerrillas, sometimes joined
by Iraqi and Jordanian artillery,
whose aim seemed to be the ter-
rorization of Israeli civilians.

HUD Grant to Restore
Washington's Oldest
Shul, Bought for $10

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Mayor
Walter Washington has announced
the approval by the Department
of Housing and Urban Development
of a $100,000 matching grant for
the renovation of the district's
oldest synagogue, Adas Israel.
"The restoration of this build-
ing," he said, "will be the final
step in a lengthy effort by the
members of the Jewish Historical
Society (of Greater Washington)
and their friends to rescue the

synagogue from destruction."
The building was dedicated in
1876 in the presence of President
Grant. It became a Greek Or-
thodox Church in 1908 when the
Jewish congregation moved to
larger quarters. More recently
it housed a carry-out food shop.
With the advent of construction

of the district's subway system, the
Transit Authority bought the build-
ing for the system's headquarters.
In March 1969, the structure was
added to the National Register of
Historic Places; but since the
Metro owned the site, the syna-
gogue was mounted on wheels and
moved three blocks, saving it,

Mayor Washington noted, "from
the wrecker's ball."
Under an agreement signed Nov.
19, 1969, the Transit Authority sold
the building to Washington, D.C.,
for $10. Washington then agreed to
lease the synagogue to the his-
torical society for 99 years at $1
a year.

al." The key word seemed to be
survival, because that made
Israel's case valid as opposed,
for instance, to her rejection of
the war in Vietnam. Israel's
cause is just, she said. The war
in Vietnam is not and is a waste.

A woman came in from the
kitchen with coffee, which Bella
drank while standing, r esting
the paper cup on the mantel piece.
She talked about having been in
Israel in 1959 and bow she learned
to re-use the Hebrew she had stud-

plans to visit Israel again and to
study its child care program.
From what she remembered, she
said Israel had an excellent pro-
gram which could be adapted to
the United States.
When I called her a populist, she
did not disagree and said it fitted
in with her own idea of herself
as a "humanist." Which led to the

On the question of the Jews in
the Soviet Union, she called that
a "serious . problem" which had to
be brought before the "court of
world opinion." She said, "we must
bring pressure on the Soviets,"
perhaps as is being done now, al-
though she drew the line on vio-
lence. As a lawyer, Bella said
Soviet Jews, like people the world
over, should have the right of

"ingress and egress."
When Senator-elect Buckley's
name was mentioned, she said,
"He has to represent the 60 per
cent who did not vote for him,"
and carry these ideas to the gov-
ernment.
She and her husband belong to a
synagogue of Conservative persua-
sion—somewhat unlike Bella.
