Israeli Proposed for Mayor of N.Y.C.
By DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright 1971, ETA, Inc.)
New York City has the largest
Jewish population of any city in
the world but it has never had a
Jewish mayor. Fiorello LaGuardia
was Jewish only on his mother's
side.
However, now, the great New
York Times itself—well not exactly
the Times, but the daily book re-
viewer of the Times, Christopher
Lehman-Haupt, has proposed that
an Israeli become Mayor of New
York City. He wants Moshe Safdie
for the office, the man famous for
"Habitat," the model dwelling of
the future which was featured in
Montreal's EXPO 67.
In review of a book giving the
idea of Moshe Safdie on the archi
tecture of the future, the Times
reviewer says:
"Moshe Safdie is a genius; we
should elect him mayor of New
York City if not emperor of the
world tomorrow."-
oriental Jews are now taking tc
th em and have become , it appears
the more passionate dog lovers.
The new Tel Aviv beauty parlor
will not only style the hair of
dogs, but sell dog supplies. Most
people mistakenly believe, we are
told, "that left over people's food
is good for dogs, but this is erro-
neous. They are usually too fatty
and salty."
The shop will also sell special
dog candies as well as clothes for
canines.
It looks like every dog will have
his day in Israel!

for the office, but that is not really
important. What is important are
his ideas about the housing of the
future. If Safdie 's ideas prevail,
the cities of the future are going
to look very different.
As a boy, Safdie lived on an
Israeli .kibutz. While the other
children were learning the abc's,
little Moshe seemed to concentrate
on the b's.
If you reflect for a moment, you
can't escape the conclusion that
the bees have solved the housing
problem better than man. There
are no bee slums. You don't see
bees living in houses with rats.
The hives of the bees do not of
course have television sets, but
they are full of the scent of flowers
and filled with honey. And bees
pay very little rent!

WHEN GOLDA HEIR WAS IN
THE WHITE HOUSE
There are many things said in
the White House no doubt which
never get out. We cannot vouch
for the truth of the following story
but we heard it and present it as
we heard it.
According to this story, when
Mrs. Meir was conferring with
President Nixon about airplanes
for Israel, she said, "You know,
Mr. President, there are now two
American generals in Israel."
"Two American generals in Is-
rael," exclaimed the President.
"This is the first I've heard about
It. Who are they?"
"General Motors and General
Electric," said Golda, smiling.
(Both of these firms do business
in Israel.)

IS TEL AVIV GOING
TO THE DOGS?
This would seem to be the case,
according to a story by Martha
Meisel* in the Jerusalem Post.
According to her, there are now
4,000 dogs in Tel Aviv registered
with the municipality and this
week saw the opening in North
Tel Aviv of a beauty parlor for
dogs, where they can get a hair
cut or shampoo. Two young Is-
raeli bachelor girls, who love dogs,
are the owners of the business.
There has been a great dog ex-
plosion throughout the world, of
course. Instead of adding to the
human population explosion, it
seems many people prefer to have
a dog. For one thing, you don't
.
have to send a dog to college and
the generation gap between a dog
and his owner is not so great. At
least, the dogs don't speak about
it.
Western Jews were the first to
bring dogs into Israel. Few of the
oriental Jews had any, but the
