Cigarette Smoking Contrary to Jewish
Law, Says Medical Ethics Authority
NEW YORK—Citing the"danger
and hazard to life," a Jewish medi-
cal ethics authority has called
cigarette smoking a violation of
Jewish law and asks the Jewish
community ''to marshal its forces
in an attack on the promotional
activities of the tobacco industry."
The view is presented by Dr.
Fred Rosner, chief of the hema-
tology division of the Queens HOS-
"Mishne Torah" to prove that
it is forbidden to place oneself
in danger: "Many things are
forbidden by the Sages because
they are dangerous to life. If one
disregards any of these and says,
'If I want to put myself in
danger, what concern is it to
others , ' or 'I am not particular
about such things,' disciplinary
flogging is inflicted upon him."
Israel-British Ties Will Stiffer if PLO Opens London 11Q

the opening of a PLO office in
London has particular signifi-
cance. Eban said. Gahal leader
Menahem Begin, who headed the
Irgun Zvai Leumi, an underground
organization that fought the British
in Palestine during the last years
of the mandate, denounced a sug-
gestion by the British MP Christo-
pher Mayhew that inasmuch as he
had visited London recently, El
Fatah chief Yassir Arafat should
be allowed to come for the PLO
opening. The implied comparison
between Irgun and El Fatah is
odious, Begin declared.

Wednesday, a protest against the
opening of a PLO office in Lon-

embassy in Tel Aviv by a dele-

dressed to British Foreign Sec-
retary Sir Alec Douglas Home.
Embassy officials promised to
pass it on to the foreign secre-
tary.

by the PLO constitute "hostile or-
