Big Gun Acquired From U.S
Boosts Israel's Firepower
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
newly acquired mobile long-
range gun will go on display
Wednesday during Israel's In-
dependence Day observance.
The gun. bought from the
United States, would permit
Israel to withdraw some 20
miles from i the Suez Canal
while still being able to shell
Egyptian positions on the
other side.
Israel has not said how
many of the M-107 self-pro-
pelled 175-mm guns it has. An
officer said this is probably
the longest-range gun in the.
world and fits Israel's avowed
willingness to pull back from
the canal as part of a partial
peace agreement, provided no
Egyptian troops are allowed
to cross the waterway.
Military- spokesmen said
the gun provided Israel not
only with a longer-reaching
artillery piece than Egypt
but also with a distinct ad-
vantage in standoff firepow-
er. "This gun can knock
their guns out without them
being able to reach it," a
spokesman said. "The ,im-
portant thing about the 175
is that it prevents Egypt
from trying to cross the
canal free of an artillery
barrage."
The Israelis have a' 1.5-mile
advantage in reach over the
Egyptian's longest range gun,
a static Soviet-made eight-inch
piece with a range of 18.5
miles
The M-107 can travel at 30
miles per hour for 440 miles
without 'refueling. boosting the
Israeli theme for mobility.

Salute to Israel Parade to Be Held in New York
oronto's Jews
Remain Apart
Out of Choice
NEW YORK—The eighth annual
"Salute to Israel Parade" will be
held on Fifth Avenue May 14.
TORONTO (JTA)—The Jewish
population of Toronto, numbering
slightly more than 100,000, ranks
above average in income and edu-
cation, is less likely than any
other ethnic minority to assimilate
and is residentially the most se-
gregated ethnic community, ap-
parently out of choice.
That profile of Toronto Jewry
was presented in a survey titled
"Ethnic Residential Segregation
in Metropolitan Toronto," pre-
pared by York University sociolo-
gist Anthony - Richmond.
The survey found that Jews con-
stitute 5 per cent of all house-
holders in Toronto; that 45 per
cent of them belong to a Conser-
vative synagogues; 20 per cent to
a Reform and 19 per cent to an
Orthodox congregation. The re-
maining 16 per cent: reported no
religious affiliation. -
Prof. Richmond reported that
despite a large percentage of
native-born Jews, 39 per cent
gave Yiddish as their mother
tongue against 46 per cent who
reported English.
Thirty per cent of the Jewish
householders had more than 13
i years of education, and Jews were
the most • likely of any ethnic
minority in Toronto to hold a um-
versity degree and less likely to
report a technological qualifica-
tion.
Prof. Richmond reported, de-
spite economic advances made by
'second and third generation Jews.
they find themselves socially re-
jected by the city's self-designated
"elite."
The survey reported that To-
ronto Jews showed a strong pref-
erence for living in their own
areas and avoided close social con-
tact with other groups or rela-
tionships which could lead to in-
termarriage. -
