Arab Parley
in Quebec Hits
Israel, Jews
MONTREAL (JTA) — The
Federation of Canadian Arab
Societies demanded Monday
night the removal from of-
fice of Foreign Affairs Minis-
ter Mitchell Sharp on grounds
that he "cannot be impartial
in the vital Israeli-Arab con-
flict because he yields to
pressue from the sizeable
Zionist vote in his constitu-
ency." Sharp is a member
of Parliament from Toronto.
The demand from the
group, which represents 10
Arab organizations in Can-
ada. came at the close of a
two-day conference here. The
conference was addressed
both by Arabs and by Cana-
dian supporters of the Arab
cause, one of whom attacked
Jewish community in
There are 80,000 Arabs in
Canada, half of them in Que-
bec Province, but only 1,000
belong to the federation.
There are an estimated 300,-
000 Jews in Canada, and ap-
proximately 127,000 live in
Quebec province.
Resolutions adopted at the
conference urged the Cana-
dian government to make
representations to Israel "re-
garding the Israeli practice
of terrorizing and starving
the Palestine people," and to
"safeguard the lives of 16,-
000 Palestinians in Israeli
prisons."

Time Editor, Henry Grunwald, AF Jet Crashes THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Called Brilliant, Perfectionist
Into Empty
Hod : Israel's Airmen Are Best in World
Time magazine may be a
household word, but its man-
aging editor, 50-year-old
Henry A. Grunwald, probably
is unknown to the majority
of Time's readers 'throughout
the world.
In the June issue of Es-
quire magazine, Merle Miller
relates the saga of Grunwald,
a Vienna-born Jew who, by
dint of his own considerable
abilities, made it at the once-
WASPish newsmagazine. In
the old 'days ,writes Miller,
" . . . short, chubby Jewish
boys with accents were not
headed for the top at Time.
Why, less than 10 years be-
fore, the premier of France,
Leon Blum, had, with no
flattery intended, been de-
scribed in the magazine week
after week as "Jew Blum.''
At age 16, Grunwald
escaped, alone, from Vienna
to Paris, shortly before Hit-
ler's stormtroopers arrived.
Later, Henry's f a the r,
mother and sister joined him
in Paris, and from Europe
they got, ultimately, to New
York.
"Not too long ago in one
of those supposedly self-
revelatory parlor games
Henry had to identify him-
self in three sentences,"
writes Miller. "A fellow
game player remembers that
he said, 'I am a Jew. I am a
journalist. I am a man.'
`Saying "I am a Jew"
seemed to astound him when

Hebrew University-Hadassah
School of Medicine was dedi-

cal fraternity from the Un-

Housing Shortage
Eased in Few Years
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Housing Minister Zeev Sha-
ref gave the Knesset a time-
table for easing Israel's hous-
ing shortage for the needy.
He said the housing prob-
lems of young married coup-
les would be solved by 1976
and that by March 1974 only
some 4,000 families would
still be living four or more
to a room.
Classifieds Get Quick Results
tooth decay is being conduct-
ed by a team of scientists at
the Hebrew University, in
conjunction with researchers
in the U.S. and other coun-
tries.
Prof. Itzhak Gedalia, asso-
ciate professor in the Hebrew
University-Hadassah School
of Dental Medicine founded
by Alpha Omega, and Dr.
Shmuel Yariv, senior lec-
turer in the university's
geology department, have
completed a survey with Dr.
Naomi Wolf, measuring the
strontium content of drinking
water and teeth in Israel.
The study, began in 1970,
was inspired by the work of
Dr. Fred Losee's team at
the Eastman Dental Center
in Rochester, which indicat-
ed that strontium in water
supplies is associated with
a lower incidence of cavities.
They found that although
Ohio water is low in fluoride,
the population had a low in-
cidence of caries. The water
proved to be rich in stron-
tium. In Israel, the highest
strontium content is found
in Beersheba.
Strontium appears to join
with the calcium in the tooth
crystal to form a more per-
fect crystal which, conse-
quently, is more resistent to
tooth deay. Evidence col-
lected by the American team
and by the Israeli team has
confirmed that this can oc-
cur only during the process
of the tooth's formation.
The next step in the team's
research is to correlate the
incorporation' of fluoride and
strontium into teeth to de-
termine the period in which
each strengthens resistance
to decay.
he said it and especially that
he put it first.' "
Grunwald graduated Phi
Beta Kappa with a bachelors
degree from New York Uni-
versity. He was working part
time for the Trade Union
Courier when a friend sug-
gested he get a job as copy-
boy at Time. He has been
there ever since.
Writes Miller: "Henry is a
very patient man, and he is
a schemer. You don't get to
the top of that magazine by
being a nice guy. You have
to bend at every corporate
whim, and Henry has always
done it. With a maximum of
flair, though, flair and
hutzpa . . .
"Whatever the reason at
29 Henry was a senior editor,
the youngest in the history
of the magazine." He be-
came managing editor in
1968.
Since he took that post,
Grunwald told Miller, he has
consciously sought to keep
the magazine less partisan
. . . "Generally, I'd say that
Time has become less con-
servative culturally as well
as politically. Time has al-
ways had high intellectual
standards, but I think it has
become more intellectual in
recent years."
Miller said Grunwald earns
more than $100,000 a year,
owns stock in the company
and shares in the profits.
He is described as "a
seeker after perfection, a
man who will settle for
nothing less than the exact
word. And the staff prays
that he will not decide to
change the cover and a good
part of the interior of the
magazine on a Friday. He
has done that fairly often,
and changes at that late date
are made at great expense,
not to mention what happens
to the frayed nerves and
awakened ulcers of members
of the staff."
One of the latter, who has
worked at both Time and
Newsweek, observed to
Miller: "I sometimes think
you could run Newsweek
with what Time spends on
overset. Oz (Osborn Elliott,
editor of Newsweek) is no
great stylist as a writer or
as an editor, and Time is
much more brilliantly writ-
ten.
"Oz and Henry," writes
Miller, hold down "two of the
most important and difficult
jobs in journalism."

Synagogue
TEL AVIV (JTA)—An Is-
raeli Air 'Force jet intercep-
tor crashed Monday morning
into an empty synagogue at
Kiryat Tivon east of Haifa,
destroying the building but
injuring no one. The pilot
bailed out safely before the
crash.
The type of plane and the
nature of its mission were
not disclosed.
The crash occurred at 9
a.m. local time and police
immediately cordoned off
the area. The synagogue
building was gutted by flames
before the fire brigade could
put out the blaze.
The interior, including the
Ark and Torah scrolls, was
totally destroyed. The town
council announced immedi-
ate plans to rebuild the syna-
gogue.
A supermarket some 20
yards from the synagogue
building was full of custo-
mers at the time, and police
said it was miraculous that
no one was hurt.
Mrs. Rachel Szigetti, who
lives opposite the synagogue,
suffered only minor bruises
caused by stones falling
from the synagogue walls.
She said she saw the plane
TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Form-
er Air Force Chief Gen Mor-
decai (Moti) Hod is quoted
in an interview published in
the Hebrew daily, Haaretz,
as saying, "With full re-
sponsibility for my words, I
declare that the Israeli pilot
is the finest in the world."
A pilot's efficiency, Gen.
Hod continued, is measured
by his record in air combat.
In areial conflicts with the
Arabs, said Hod, Israel has
a superiority of 25-1 (one Is-
raeli plane for every 25 lost
by the enemy). Gen. Hod
compared this with the rec-
ord in the Vietnam War
where the U.S. advantage
was 7-1.
The general also said that,
based on the limited experi-
ence of encounters with So-
viet airmen who flew oper-
ational missions while based
in Egypt, the Israeli pilot is
more than a match for the
Russian. Reporters asked
what would happen if a new
war should break out. Said
'Hod, "The results will be no
different from those of prev-
ious wars except that this
time we shall strike with
even greater force than be-
fore."
Gen. Hod gave the inter-
view on the eve of his retire-
ment as commander of the
air force, which is one of
the strongest components of
Israel's defense forces.

Russian Emigre,
Family Reunited
After 37 Years
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
separation of 37 years ter-
minated May 10 at Kennedy
Airport when Solomon Bash,
a Soviet Jew, was reunited
with his brother, Martin
Smilovich of the Bronx, it
was announced by United
Hias Service.
Bash and his wife; a son,
26, an engineer; a daughter
and a son-in-law, both 25,
and both teachers; and a 10-
month- old granddaughter,
were among 14 Jews com-
prising four family units
from the Soviet Union who
arrived here from Rome. All
were assisted in their migra-
tion by HIAS.
Twelve of the new arrivals
entered the U.S. through the
parole authority of the U.S.
Attorney General. The arri-
vals were welcomed by rela-
tives from the Bronx and
Brooklyn. They will be aided
in their resettlement by the
New York Association for
New Americans.
Gaynor I. Jacobson, execu-
tive vice-president of HIAS,
reported that the number of
Soviet Jews who were reunit-
ed with American relatives
during the first four months
of 1973 doubled over a simi-
lar period last year.

she threw herself to the
floor seconds before the plane
crashed and exploded set-

The air force appointed a
special committee Tuesday
to investigate the crash. The
investigation was described
at a routine measure taken
whenever a mishap occurred
