This Hebrew text of the Maimonides Oath is from
Sussman Muntner's "Mishna Tefila I'Moshe."
The Maimonides Oath was unanimously substituted
for the Hippocratic Oath by the 95 medics who received
their degrees this year from the University of Miami Col-
lege of Medicine.
Interesting developments marked the diversion from
an established practice at the Miami college. The text of
the Maimonides Oath in an English translation lnd the
several versions of the Hippocratic Oath are presented in
the Purely Commentary column on Page 2.

Israel Pound Crisis Avoided;
Low-Income Families Get Aid
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Knesset approved at 1 a.m. Tuesday legislation embodying
the emergency regulations approved by the cabinet in connection with Israel's devaluation
of the pound and accompanying economic measures. There was no panic in spite of heavy
buying, and special aid is provided low-income families.
The regulations impose price controls and excise taxes on goods sold at higher prices
without authorization, and set up a price control bureau in the trade and industry ministry.
The pound now is worth slightly less than 24 U. S. cents as against 28 cents pre-
viously. The new official exchange rate is 4.20 Israeli pounds to the dollar, compared with
the previous rate of 3.50 to the dollar.
The vote on the second reading of the measures came after five hours of sharp de-
bate, a long meeting of the Knesset finance committee and another five-hour Knesset
session in which members voted down all amendments proposed by members except one.
The exception was a clause incorporated in the new laws requiring that the price
control bureau must act within two months on every application for a price increase and
that failure to meet that deadline will be held to be approval of the request.
The cabinet was vigorously criticized by leaders of the leftist Mapam and of the
Histadrut, Israel's labor federation, who are members of the Knesset. They challenged
Monday night an estimate by the finance ministry that the increase in prices of basic
foodstuffs would cost even a large family no more than 10 pounds more per month, and
they reiterated demands that those price boosts be rescinded.
Criticism from the center and right-of-center opposition deputies was made by their
main speaker, Yosef Saphir of the rightist Gahal alignment, a former trade and industry
minister. He said Gahal opposed the devaluation because it was "doomed to failure." He in-
sisted that a devaluation, to be successful, must be "cruel" and cut consumption in all
sectors except for the poor.
But such a retrenchment, he asserted, was not feasible under current Israeli condi-
tions of full employment and unreduced government spending.
Voting_ for the implementing legislation were the Labor Alignment, the State List
rael. The Free Center deputies absainted. Other opposition factions on both
and Agudat'ls
sides of the houses voted against the legislation.
Officials said Tuesday that heavy purchases of staple products, mainly electrical

The Days of Awe
have begun on the Jewish calendar . . .
During this month of Elul, the sounds of
the Shofar echo the spirit of reverence in
Jewish communities everywhere . . . The
approach of the New Year 5732 is sym-
bolized in the traditional awe-inspiring
calls to service and for re-dedication to
the ideals and obligations of the People
Israel.
