American College
in Jerusalem Has
Its 1st Convocation
JERUSALEM — Several hundred
students, faculty and guests at-
tended the American College in
Jerusalem's convocation exercises,
honoring 15 graduates.
Knesset member and former
Attorney General Dr. Gideon
Hausner, discussed the impact of
the young liberal arts college on
the Israeli scene. The willing-
ness of young Americans to
k._3me to Israel proves, he said,
that American-Jewish youth still
retains an adventurous and pio-
neering spirit.
Dr. Avraham Soltes, chairman
of the college's American board
and a member of the U.S.-Israel
Cultural Foundation, elaborated on
the mutual responsibilities of
Americans and Israelis, and said
the American College is a vital
link between the two. American
youth is troubled, and dynamic
Israel—the most ancient and mod-
ern of countries—can help regen-
erate those values America seems
to have lost, he said.
American College President Dr.
Morman Greenwald presided over
the investiture of Dr. Soltes, Sam-
uel Goldfarb, Irwin Hochberg, Dr.
Joseph Zeitlin and Bernard Katz
as founding fellows of the college.
Bucharest Socio-Medical Center Aids Aged
BUCHAREST—A socia-medical
center has been opened here to
provide medical care and social
services at the center or at home
for needy and aged handicaped
Jews, it was announced by Samuel
L. Haber, executive vice chairman
of the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee.
The center was established by
the Federation of Romanian Jew-
ish Communities, with technical
and financial assistance from the
Joint Distribution Committee,
said Haber.
JDC's expenditures in Romania
in 1971 are expected to exceed
$1,600,000, he added. The JDC re-
ceives funds for its health, welfare
and rehabilitation programs in 25
countries overseas, mainly from
the campaigns of the United Jew-
ish Appeal.
Those who are well enough
come to the center on foot or by
bus; those who are housebound
are visited at home by a doctor,
nurse's aide or social worker,
depending upon the situation,
Haber said.
In addition to the social and
mbedical services, the center acts
Nation of Ministers
as a clearing house for the Fed-
eration's welfare program, compil-
ing information and referring the
needy aged to other services avail-
able in the community, he added.
Among the services provided di-
rectly by the center are medical
tations, medical and nursing care
either at the center or at home
ances and certain drugs, Haber
said. The center also makes other
Federation s e r v i c es available
through referrals. This includes
meals-on-wheels, which are pre-
pared in the kosher canteen,
and housekeeping help. Many re-
quire and get both direct and
indirect services, he added. Pro-
cedures also are being worked out
to provide special diets for dia-
betics and other people who need
them.
The center operates an 18-bed
nursing home for the most infirm
of the needy aged. Another home,
with 23 beds, is under construc-
tion, but even this will fall short
of meeting the needs, Haber said.
Soviet-Egypt Pact
Goes Beyond
Czech Treaty
NEW YORK (ZINS)—The Soviet
Egyptian treaty of friendship and
cooperation signed in Cairo May
27 is the first pact of its kind that
Moscow has entered into with a
country that is both non-Communist
and that lies far afield from the
Soviet border, according to Is-
raeli diplomatic sources.
Its terms do not merely for-
malize an existing status quo of
Russian assistance and coopera-
tion: they grant Moscow the legal-
ity of presence and a say in the
affairs of Egypt for the next 15
years (Article 2).
Of particular significance is
article 7, the "consulting clause."
By it, Egypt undertakes "to con-
cert its international policies with
the Soviet Union and to regularly
consult at different levels on all
important questions affecting the
interests bf both states."
This goes further even than the
wording of the Soviet treaty with
Czechoslovakia, which is less
specific and which avoids the use
of the term "concert" and the
principle of "regular" consulta-
tions.
On the military level, Article 8
spells out the Soviet long-term
commitment to "continue to de-
velop cooperation in the military
field . . . with a view to strength-
ening Egypt's capacity to elimi-
nate the consequences of aggres-
sion as well as its ability to stand
up to aggression in general."

head of a minister). These heads,
