NEW YORK — Israelis tend to
see the world's "heroes" as being
Israelis and the "devils" as being
foreigners. This conclusion emerges
from a year-end poll conducted by
Public Opinion Research of Is-
rael Ltd. and released in the
United States by the American
Jewish Committee.
In the poll, Israelis were asked
to pick "the most positive person
in 1971" and also to select "the
wickedest person of 1971." Nine
of the top ten chosen by Israelis
in the poll to determine "the most
positive person" were Israeli polit-
ical and military figures. By con-
trast, seven of the top ten in the

JTA to Continue
Intern Program

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Jewish
Telegraphic Agency's intern pro-
gram for young Jewish journalists
begins its second year this month
after a successful program in 1971,
announced JTA president Robert
H. Arrow.
Six young men and women par-
ticipated in the program which in-
cluded training in all phases of
journalism and provided them with
an opportunity to understand the
nature, activities and developments
in the world-wide Jewish com-
munity.
Of the six interns, four were
in the New York office, one in the
Washington bureau and one on
the staff of the Jewish Advocate
in Boston. In addition, five interns
were on the staff of The Jewish
News of Detroit.

The Jewish News program,
however, was an independent
effort undertaken and supported
by Philip Slomovitz, editor and
publisher of the paper.

The interns expressed interest
in continuing their involvement in
the field of Jewish journalism or
affairs after they had completed
their internship.
One of the interns. Joel Mandel-
baum, became the first JTA
scholarship - sponsored Charles
Frost Fellow in Jewish Journalism.
Reflecting on this year's pro-
gram, Arnow observed that it will
continue the same type of training
with the aim of developing a cadre
of young Jewish journalists who
will provide Jewish journalism
with continuity and vigor.
Applications are now being ac-
cepted for the program. Address
all inquiries to the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, 660 First Ave.,
N.Y. 10016.

Smoke Symptoms

Parents who smoke at home can
aggravate symptoms in some asth-
matic children. Even trigger
asthma attacks.
In a study of 400 asthmatic chil-
dren at the Mayo Clinic in Roches-
ter, Minn., two-thirds of the chil-
dren were found to be allergic to
tobacco smoke. Forty of these
youngsters were so sensitive to
smoke, in fact, that they suffered
an asthma attack just by entering
a room with tobacco smells.
