The action to assume res-
ponsibility for 100 per cent
of the current development
budget of $642,000,000 was
taken after the Israel Bond
national campaign cabinet
heard a detailed report by
Israel Finance Minister Pin-
has Sapir on the heavy cost
of the war which began on
Oct. 6, especially the enor-
mous strain which it has
placed on the country's eco-
nomy.
Sapir estimated that the
cost of the war as of Tues-
day was $2,500,000,000 and
that this was by far the
costliest war in Israel's en-
tire existence.
Rothberg reported that dur-
ing the first week of hostil-
ities the national Israel Bond
Organization had sold a total
of $150,000,000 in Israel

fellow.
been collected in cash.
The Hebrew department at
the Jewish Center is process-
ing all applicants who wish
to take part in kibutz volun-
teer programs during the
crisis.
There are two alternatives:
the American Zionist Youth
Foundation-sponsored Sherut
La'am program, for young
people age 18-24 who wish to
spend a minimum of six
months in Israel; and the
Kibutz Aliya Desk, the Amer-
ican section of all kibutz
movements in Israel, which
will accept volunteers age 18-
35 who will spend a minimum
of one month in Israel.
Olek Netzer will provide in-
formation on Sherut La'am.
Tzvika Zidner, H a b o n i m
shaliakh, and Paul Lupu of
Hashomer Hatzair will proc-
ess those who wish to par-
ticipate in the Kibutz Aliya
Desk program. For informa-
tion, call the Center, DI 1-
4200. In both cases, the par-
ticipant must pay his own
way, approximately $450.
The Israel Aliya Center re-
ports a surge in aliya partic-
ularly among those who had
planned to emigrate later. A
spokesman figured there had
been more than 100 calls
from persons seeking infor-
mation on volunteering their
services. Although some
have asked to join the Israel
army, there has been no such
request from Israel for man-
power, they are told.
Professionals may call the
Israel Aliya Center, 559-6755,
to have their names listed.
Physicians may contact Dr.
Eugene Pious, of the Ameri-
can Physicians Fellowship,
Inc., at 872-1959.

tacted the AZYF to volunteer

We still lead
the rate race
with the highest interest
on regular passbook savings
in Michigan.
Annual Rate
on Regular Passbook
Savings Accounts.
Compounded and paid
quarterly with interest
computed from date of
deposit to dale of

At American Savings you come out on top again
with our new, higher 5.25% annual interest rate
on regular passbook savings. And to make
money matters even better, we figure your interest
right from date of deposit to date of withdrawal
compounded and paid quarterly. This gives
you an effective annual yield of 5.355%.
Of course, we offer even higher rates on our
certificate accounts. However, the federal govern-
ment requires certain interest penalties for with-
drawing from certificate accounts before maturity.
So we suggest you keep a sufficient portion of
your funds in our regular account. That way
you won't get caught short by an emergency.
And you'll be earning the highest interest on
regular savings in Michigan!
