Kishon Takes Potshots at 'Liberals'
Readers of Ephriam Kis-
hon's recent column, "Mr.
Nixon and the Liberals,"
were sharply divided in their
reactions to the humorist's
implied praise of Nixon and
his lampooning of "liberals"
whom he depicted as emo-
tional and irrational in their
opposition to the President.
Of five letters in the Jeru-
salem Post, three attacked
Kishon. One noted that Kis-

hon "display(ed) his ignor-
ance of Mr. Nixon's record."
Another noted that while
Nixon's aid should be ap-
plauded, ''his administration
is the most oppressive in our
lifetime." Of the two ad-
mirers, one described Kis-
hon's article as a "breath of
truthful air," and the oth-
er described the article as
"excellent and most percep-
tive." The critics were from
the United States. The ad-
mirers were from Israel.

A group of 50 recent im-
migrants from the Soviet Un-
ion, all engineers, have start-
ed a special course so they
can serve as teachers next
year in the ORT vocational
school network. They were
assured jobs after completing
the course which is designed
to improve their Hebrew
and acquaint them with the
teaching practices in Israel.
Some of them were techni-
cal school teachers in the
USSR.

policewoman was able to
leave the scene each time
without getting a ticket, the
first time because he told
the policewoman that he was
going to his father's funeral:
the second time because his
father, very much alive, was
in the car with him. The sec-
ond time around the police-
woman told the driver that
she let him go earlier be-
cause "you said you were
late for your father's funeral,
but this time I have to give
you a ticket." The old man,
hearing this, slapped his son
across the face and ordered
him out of the car. The po-
licewoman didn't issue the
ticket because, she explain-
ed. "I had a feeling he faced
a much sterner punishment
at home."

Police dispersed a group of
young couples and large fam-
ilies who staged a protest
demonstration outside the
local council offices in Or
Yehuda. The demonstrators
were protesting the housing
shortage in the town. Some
350 large families live in
overcrowded quarters and
more than 200 young couples
have no housing at all. On
July 23 the local council
urged that no new immi-
grants be sent to Or Yehuda
because of the housing situa-
tion. The town, with a popu-
lation of 11,000, recently
absorbed some 300 immi-
grant families. At the time,
government sources con-
ceded that the housing situa-
tion in the town was strained
but added that it was no
worse than elsewhere in the
country.

are receiving treatment in
Israeli hospitals,

involves a 10-year-old girl
who is entering Hadassah
Medical Center in Jerusalem
for an eye operation after
doctors in Amman said they
could not prevent her
from going blind in a
year or two. A 9-year-old girl
has been accepted by Ham-

Matriculation examinations
in Gaza and El Arish were
completed for the first time
without any disturbances by
terrorists. In previous years
Arab terrorist organizations
tried to disrupt the examina-
tions by throwing hand gren-
ades into the school yards.
A total of 7,615 students,
2,809 of them women, took
the exams this year. More
than two-thirds took the hu-
manities exams while less
than a third chose the nat-
ural sciences. The examina-
tions were drawn up by the
Egyptian Ministry of Educa-
tion and were administered
in 26 centers by UNESCO of-
ficials. The Strip's 478 high
school teachers and 400
UNRWA elementary school
teachers volunteered as proc-
tors. The exam papers were
sealed and sent through
UNESCO to Egypt to be
graded.
