NEW YORK (ZINS) — Despite
the continued necessity of large
outlays for defense, Israel con-
tinues to apply a very substantial
part of its gross national income
to social service programs, "plac-
ing it ahead of most countries in
the world, and close to such afflu-
ent countries as the United States."

Work, author of the study, asserts
that any person in Israel, regard-

economic or other difficulties can
receive help from national or local

a gencies.
Among the study's other find-

4 per cent of the families in Is-

funds for their regular income,
and another 6.7 per cent for
supplementary benefits; of a
total population of about

and more than 40,000 get sur-

currently administered by Israel
who were not eligible for the
refugee assistance programs of the
United Nations. Voluntary agencies
account for about 35 per cent of
the total expenditures for welfare

"unprecedented development in

Rabbi Tannenbaum told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency that
the resolution was "one of the
impressive fruits" of a recent
dialogue held between the
Southern Baptist Convention and
the American Jewish communi-

significant, coming on the eve

be attended by 100,000 people.
Rabbi Tannenbaum said that
misgivings have been felt that
Explo-72 might spark a resurg-

demand a literalist interpretation
of the Scriptures, which lends itself
