9 Orthodox Organizations Commend Fisher and CJFWF for Position on Day Schools Nine national Orthodox Jewish organizations joined in expressing their appreciation to the Council of Jewish Fedetations and Welfare Funds and to its president, Max M. Fisher, "for the important breakthrough with regard to the Hebrew day school that occurred at the Pittsburgh General Assem- bly Nov. 10-14. In a letter to Fisher, leaders of the nine organizations com- mended Fisher and the council for giving "the day school, which has successfully reared generations of committed Jews," high priority in "two places that really count," in Fisher's presidential address and in the resolution on Jewish educa- tion adopted by the assembly. In his presidential address, Fisher stated "There is a grow- ing feeling in many quarters, and not just the traditional quarters, that the Jewish day school holds one of the best answers to further- ing Jewish continuity." There is no question," Fisher continued, "that Jewish day schools have earned the right to our most care- ful consideration of what can be done to help. If we are serious about maintaining Jewish continui- ty—and I know we are—then it is my feeling that each community will want to take a fresh look at its oWn day school situation and see if it cannot do better." The convention's resolution on Jewish education called upon local federations "to re-examine the need for increased support for day schools in their communi- ties" in view of the "continuing expansion of the day school in terms of the number of schools and the number of pupils, and the increased costs of such insti- tutional operations . . ." It also called for the cooperation of the national day school organizations in this effort. The letter to Fisher concluded Booby—Trapped Parcels New Worry --- (Continued from Page 1) Parcels containing explosives have turned up in Tel Aviv, Jeru- salem, Eilat and Beersheba. Police disclosed that some have been ad- dressed to senior scinetists, politi- cal personalities, the director of a firm engaged in defense work, a senior police officer and a senior public servant. Two parcels were found Wednesday addressed to the di- rector of the Israel Labor De- velopment Co. in Jerusalem and the director of the Coins and Medals Corp. Another came to a watchmaker in Beersheba. Au- thorities believe that most of the parcels are addressed at random and are calculated to stir panic among the population. The public has been alerted to will be a major effort to implement in the local communities the rec- ommendations of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. Nevertheless, we are grate- ful to you and to CJFWF for this beginning and for your personal assurance that you will take an active role in the effort of imple- mentation that lies ahead. In view of the financial crisis facing the day school, it is imperative that this implementation take place without delay." The organizations joining in the letter were: Agudath Israel of America, National Counc il of Young Israel, National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs, Poalei Agudath Israel of America, Rabbinical Alliance of America, Rabbinical Council of America, Religious Zionists of America (Mizrachi-Hapoel Hamiz- by stating that the action of the radii), Torah Umesorah—National Society for Hebrew Day Schools Pittsburgh General Assembly "marks only the beginning of what and Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.

Diplomatic sources here re- vealed that the governments of Jordan, Algeria, Lebanon and Tunisia have demanded similar tax privileges for investments in their countries or, alternatively, the "removal of preferential treat- ment" for investments in Israel. The investments in Israel are usually made through brokerage houses, one of which has reported- ly transferred over $25,000,000 to Israel during the past year. The Westdeutsch Immobilien- fonds Treuhand, a major invest- ment firm in Cologne, is offering the public a $20,000 tax deduction for every $2,200 they invest in Israel. The firm acts in coordina- tion with the Israel Corporation Ltd. managed by Baron Edmupd De Rothschild.

Police have introduced elaborate measures to detect the booby traps. These in- clude a recent invention by an Is- raeli scientist that "smells out" explosives and X-ray machines. The only victim of the devices so far has been Police Inspector Nissim Sasson, 51, who was seri- ously injured Tuesday while trying to dismantle a parcel filled with explosives. His condition after sur- gery was described as serious, but he was reported to be out of danger. A sleeping child gives me the impression of a traveler in a very far country. —Ralph Waldo Emerson.
