Music to the Ears of Israel Briton's Revealing 'Israel Diary' Many revealing facts emerge from the Yom Kip- pur War. While Israel's posi- tion is frequently denigrated in unfriendly areas, the ad- miration of many observers becomes evident with time. A rally featuring singing and dancing drew about 150 young people from 17 area youth groups on behalf of Youth for Israel Emergency Fund. Four Southfield students, from left, Debi Chinsky, Sandra Silver, Robert Newman and Albert Salomon, organized the meeting at the 10 Mile Jew- ish Center. Edward A. Lumberg, chairman of the school campaign for the AJC-IEF, right, watches as the organizers count the proceeds: more than $400. According to Lum- berg, this is only one of the important contributions from youth groups and religious schools in the area. Beth Jacob School for Girls has contributed more than $1,000 to the IEF. Other organizations making sizeable gifts are the Michigan State Temple Youth and the religious schools of Temple Beth El, Beth Shalom and Beth Jacob of Pontiac. RAMAT-GAN — One day several weeks ago a young woman in Tel Aviv was noti- fied her husband was miss- ing on the Suez front. That night was torture for her; she tossed and turned until she finally reached for the phone and dialed a number she had seen in that day's newspaper. A calm, soothing voice answered, talked with her for more than an hour, gave ad- vice and counsel. The voice—and the special telephone number—was- part of a new 24-hours-a-day tele- phone counseling service — similar to those successfully undertaken in the U.S. and other countries, but a first for Israel. According to Prof. Ben Lappin, head of Bar-Ilan University's school of social work, who initiated the serv- ice, it is the first psychologi- cal counseling by telephone attempted anywhere in war- time. The "Dial-in-Distress" pro- ject, began with ads placed in the newspapers and broad- cast over the radio, notifica- tion of public welfare agen- cies, police and civil defense authorities, and other social agencies. Case referrals be- gan immediately. Help is provided around the clock, and not only through telephone consulta- tions. Callers are invited to come in, with or without an appointment, for personal counseling, or a social work- er or psychologist is dis- patched on a home visit. Where indicated, callers are referred to other agencies for assistance. Most of the phone calls on the "hot line" have resulted directly from the events of the war, often triggered' by news that a family member or close friend has been lost, or was severely wounded, or is missing in action. But what the phone calls have revealed, according to Prof. Lappin, is not only the anxieties and stresses under- standably resulting from the war, but also the "emotional strength and resilience of the Jewish people." Oneness of Jewish People Seen by Detroiters' Friend, Vinitskv Chaim Vinitsky, director- general of the United Jewish Appeal office in Jerusalem, in a deeply moving letter ad- dressed to The Jewish News, described Israel's spon- taneous mobilization for the nation's defense commencing with the afternoon of Yom Kippur. At the same time, he told of the continuing settlement of new arrivals in Israel and the uninterrupted emigration from the Soviet Union. Vinitsky, known to many thousands of Americans who have toured Israel and who conferred with him in behalf of UJA, gave these impres- sions of the occurrences dur- ing the tense weeks of the war: "Although we are a far 6,000 miles apart — and in other parts of the world in which Jews are living, a still greater distance — we are One. And it's not only money — it's the way this supp2rt is given. It's the way people care about us and maybe it's the way we do care about them.

Writing as an "Israel Diary" in the New States- man of London, Ian Mikardo reported that to call up re- serves quickly, the Israelis have instituted a system in which a radio program is interrupted by short beep sounds followed by a code phrase, such as "pocket spanner," "good meal" or "steel hook." Immediately a few thousand men are mobil- ized at a prearranged point. The smallness of the coun- Bar-Ilan U.'s 'Dial-in-Distress' Offers Counseling at All Hours other what we have and we can give. "We, the people in the rear, helped the soldiers. But some of us feel that we could have done something more and not allow our children to be the defenders .. . Per- haps we may not be good in actual battles — but we were good (I feel so) in the edu- cation we gave to our chil- dren and the meanings with which we imbued them. The example we set for them in the previous struggle for sur- vival and freedom has proven this to us in the last two battles — that our won- derful children understand and they continue in the footsteps of their parents." "We feel secure because they feel loved, appreciated, wanted and needed and we are waiting for the great, great moment when we will be united again and continue our normal family lives — take up the threads of our work to fulfill our dream to make a strong, strong home- land for ourselves and for those who need us and want to come to us." THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, Nov. 23, 1973-5 'Arab Wealth May Threaten U.S. Economy' WASHINGTON (ZINS) — Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, in a report to the Senate, said that the Arab oil countries will accumulate the stagger- ing total of $100,000,000,000 in gold and foreign exchange within the next 15 years from the sale of their petroleum. "Such a fortune," said the senator, "would be sufficient to buy control of the U.S. in- dustrial complex. It would place the Arab world in a powerfully competitive posi- tion with all of the industrial nations of the globe and threaten the economic sta- bility of the international community." Sen. Ribicoff urged that s e r i o u s consideration be given to counter-measures, such as withholding the ship- ment of manufactured goods and food products and tech- nical aid to the Arab coun- tries.
