"A once4n-a-lifetime meeting"
between an Englishman and a De-
troiter with the same name oc-
curred in _Liverpool, England last
month.
Alan Katz,. an analytical chemist
in LiVerpool, noticed in the local
paper, "The Echo," a story fea-
turing another Alan Katz, and the
work that he and his friends were
- doing in Liverpool.
- This Alan Katz, 20, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Katz of
Huntley Sq., Beverly Hills, was in
Liverpool studying at the Carnegie
Center.
Katz had previously studied so-
cial sciences at Michigan State
University, and this background,
plus a previous year's study at
B e.d f o r d College in England,
prompted his return to Liverpool
to study problems of the elderly.
He _has returned to school here.
To - Alan Katz of Liverpool, the
coincidence of the same names
was too much. So with the help
of The Echo, a festive meeting was
arranged between the two Katzes
the day before Katz of Detroit

left for Scotland.

Israel's Strike Record:
400,000 Days Lost in '70

TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Israel has
the dubious distinction of being one
of the four economically advanced
countries (others are Italy, France
and Australia) with a greater rec-
ord of strikes than all other lands,
including the U.S., England, West
Germany and Japan.
This was disclosed in a survey
carried out by Israel's ministry
of labor and Histadrut.
The survey reveals that in 1970
Israel lost 400,000 workdays as a
result of strikes, an increase of
300 per cent over 1969. There were
115,000 workers involved, 159 per
cent more than in the previous
year.
The survey also underscores the
far greater incidence of strikes in
the public sector (government and
Histadrut.) There were 28.000 em-
ployes in this category who went
on strike during 1970.

Is Ben-Gurion 65 or 85?

By DAVID SCHWARTZ
Israel is marking Ben-Gurion's
birthday, but we can't figure out if
he is 65 or 85.
Some time back, Ben-Gurion said
a man only begins to live when he
has exercised his will. With him,
he said, that was 20, when he
willed to go to Palestine

This would make him today 65
years old, not 85 as some would
have it.

Ben-Gurion had as little school-
ing as Lincoln, but if you have a
will, you pick up a good deal of
