To Our Readers: Please Understand!
The Jewish News is compelled to appeal to its
readers for an appreciation of a serious problem that
has emerged as a result of the mounting problems stem-
ming from Post Office operations.
ALL issues of The Jewish News are mailed in one
operation, at the same time to all areas.
This has been our policy during all the years of
our existence.
In the past two years there have been complica-
tions and frequent delays in the delivery of The Jewish
News. These delays were NEVER occasioned by our own
laxity. The handicaps in postal operations were mainly
responsible.
NOW, r.ew problems are arising as the Post Office
resorts to new economies. At the very time when The
Jewish News was to have been distributed among mail-
men for regularly planned deliveries on Friday morn-
ings, deliveries may now be seriously affected by lack
of help at the U.S. Post Office to distribute the papers
among mailmen.
The Jewish News will continue to strive for regular-
ity in deliveries. There may be occasions when there
will be interruptions and delayed deliveries until Sat-
urdays. PLEASE UNDERSTAND ! They will not be
our doing but will be the result of postal inconveniences.
We are anxious for your cooperation and under-
standing.

Belgian Pilots Demand Improved Security
TEL AVIV (JTA)—F uner a l
services were held Sunday for Mrs.
Miriam Holtzberg, who died May
18 of wounds sustained during a
gun battle May 10 aboard a hi-
jacked Sabena airliner at Lydda

etaot in Western Galilee, where
she was born,
Representatives of Sabena Air-
lines, El Al, Lydda Airport and
the Israeli Armed Forces attended
the funeral and laid wreathes on
the grave.
Mrs. Holtzberg, the only pas-
senger to die as a result of the
shootout, was hit when she re-
portedly stood up suddenly in the
plane a s Israeli paratroopers
stormed the aircraft to liberate
its 90 passengers and 10 crew
members who were being held
hostage by Palestinian terrorists.
Mrs. Holtzberg was struck by
bullets in the head and neck and
was in a coma at the time of
her death.
Two other passengers injured in
the battle were discharged from the
hospital last week and a third is
recovering from wounds.
Meanwhile, in Brussels the Bel-
gian Association of Pilots and Nav-
igators ha s demanded stringent
security precautions here and at
other foreign airports to prevent a
repetition of the hijacking.
A member of the Belgian Cham-
ber of Deputies said that the hi-
jacking could not have occurred
were it not for the laxity of Belgian
security measures. Ile demanded a
full ministerial report on the hi-
jacking.
A spokesman for the Pilots
and Navigators Association dis-
closed at a press conference here

ceived numerous warnings about
its lack of security precautions.
