Meets Attacks Heroically
BULLETIN
Private talks between the U. S. and the USSR involving ces-
sation of Midwest hostilities were reported late this week. While
the U. S. continues military aid to Israel, talks about agreed
actions between the two major world powers may have been
stimulated by proposals for in-place cease fire stalemates that
would keep all contending parties in the areas now occupied by

Strict censorship imposed by Israel and the Arab states
have placed obstacles in acquiring actual information on latest
developments in the war that has taken on most serious dimen-

as well as the Arabs. Jordan reportedly participated in repelling
Israelis on the Syrian front, but King Hussein has spoken out for
a peace which continues to have the imprint of his hopes for
ousting Israel from areas conquered in 1967. All indications are
that there may be decisive battles in the hours and days ahead.
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The battle for control of the Suez Canal and
Sinai Peninsula was the primary concern of Israel's armed forces as of
Thursday, with the heaviest fighting yet reported by both sides.
Prime Minister Golda Meir revealed in the Knesset Tuesday evening
that Zahal was operating on the west bank of the Suez.

Numerous rallies to encourage mabilization of efforts
Kissinger the Peace Nobelist
OSLO (JTA)—U. S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kis-
singer Tuesday was named recipient of the 1973 Nobel
Peace Prize. He shares the award with Le Duc Tho, the
North Vietnamese Politburo member with whom Dr. Kis-
singer negotiated the Vietnam cease fire. The announce-
ment of the award was made by the Nobel Committee of
the Norwegian Parliament. The prize money this year
amounts to 510,000 Swedish kroner, about $120,000.

function will be the Bnai Brith Solidarity Rally to be held
Monday evening at the Bnai David Synagogue. The guest
speaker will be Prof. Gerald W. Meister of Rampo Insti-

Deeply moving expressions of solidarity with Israel
were accompanied by contributions to the Israel Emerg-
ency Fund that came, and kept coming, from non-Jews as
well as Jews. (Stories, Page 3).
His Hope: Middle East Peace
Dr. Kissinger received the news about the award
while he was at a meeting at the White House talking to
officials about the Middle East war. During a press brief-
ing later at the State Department the secretary of state
responded to the peace prize announcement by stating:
"Nothing could give me more impetus than to end the
war in the Middle East and move from there to a decent
and lasting peace in the Middle East."
Dr. Kissinger is the first secretary of state to receive
the peace prize while in office. The others were Elihu
Root (1912), Frank B. Kellogg (1929), Cordell Hull (1945)
and Gen. George C. Marshall (1953).
