Bedouin list affiliated with
Labor, and 23,000-odd to the
Galilee list, also Labor-affili-
ated.
The others gained much
less. Likud had 8,000 Arab
votes, part of them wasted
on a Bedouin Likud-affiliated
list which did not reach the
1 per cent minimum. The
NRP kept its 12,000 Arab vot-
ers. There was also a thin
spread of Arab votes among
the small parties—including
one Arab village which gave
all its 200 votes to a Jewish
Maoist group led by impri-
soned spy Rami Livne which
never had a chance of at-
taining the 1 per cent par.
The main lesson of the elec-
tion is that in order to block
further Rakah advances the
Labor Alignment must com-
pletely remodel its tactics. If

Rakah ever gets close to the
50 per cent of the Arab vote
redline it would endanger the
entire policy of liberalization
and integration which was
begun in 1965.
Until now Rakah has pre-
vented its members from en-
gaging in subversive activity
aside from outspoken criti-
cism and propaganda, but
pressure from its swelling
ranks may create intolerable
tension. As more and more
Arab voters go over to Ra-
kah, the nationalist activists
inside this party would inevit-
ably gain the upper hand
over the traditional Commu-
nist leadership.
It has been proven fairly
conclusively by these polls
that the Labor Alignment's
"old guard Arab leadership"
cannot successfully fight Ra-
kah any longer. The most

On money.
If you'll deposit $1000 or more in a
•Certificate Savings Account for just one year,
you'll earn 6 1 /2% annual interest, paid and
compounded quarterly:*
And that's a bargain.
That means you no longer have to tie up
your funds for a long period of time to earn
high interest on your savings. In fact, 6'/2%

annual interest yields an effective annual rate
of 6.66%.

So ask yourself this: At times like these,
when it seems like every day you're getting a
little less for your money...shouldn't 'you take
advantage of a savings program that offers'
you so much?
Whoever thought money would be a bargain?

Orthodox Community
to Collect Tefillin

striking example of this was
the fate of Labor's most
prominent Arab leader, Naz-
areth Mayor Seif e-Din Zuabi,
who received only 3,000 Knes-
set votes for Labor in his
hometown. The Bedouin
sheikh who led the Align-
ment-affiliated Bedouin list
only polled 4,000 of the Negev
Bedouins' 11,000 voters.
Labor will, as a result, ac-
cording to Ehud Yaari, well
known Israeli writer on Arab
affairs, look for new Arab
leaders within the young in-
tellectual and trade union
circles, people differing in
background outlook and per-
sonal integrity from the pres-
ent leadership who are really
drawn from the traditional
"notables" circles.
(There were 2,037,171 qual-
ified voters registered for the
eighth Knesset election Dec.
31, with sabras—native born
—in a distinct minority. A
ZINS analysis states: The
profile of an average voter
showed him to be foreign-
born, having emigrated from
some European or Moslem
country. In the past 25 years
there have been enormous
demographic changes in the
voting constituency. In 1949,
85 per cent of the electorate
was of European stock. Now
their number has fallen to
56 per cent. There were to be
852.000 voters casting their
ballots for the first time, of
whom 220,000 were born in
Israel while 65,000 are new
immigrants. Among the
new voters, those of oriental
origin are in the majority,
numbering 120,000 compared
with 100,000 of European ,ex-
traction. Native-born Israelis
constitute only 25 per cent
of the total of qualified vot-
ers. There are 170,000 regis-
tered Arab voters, 8 per cent
of the over-all total.)

NEW YORK — Harold M.
Jacobs, president of the
Union of Orthodox Jewish
Congregations of America,
has pledged a concerted ef-
fort by the American Ortho-
dox community to meet the
sudden demand for religious
articles by Israeli service-
men.
The shortage of Torah
scrolls and tefillin was
severely aggravated by the
losses in the early clays of
the war. Because, according
to Jewish law, each sefer
Torah and set of tefillin
must be carefully written by
hand, it is not possible to
apply the techniques of mass
production to meet the de-
mand.
Jacobs has issued a call to
each of the UOJCA's mem-
ber congregations throughout
the United States and Canada
to begin to collect every
spare set of tefillin and un-
used Torah scrolls to meet
the need.
Arrangements have been
made by the chief rabbi of
the Israeli Defense Forces
with the U. S. Defense De-
partment and El Al Israel
Airlines to airlift the collect-
ed tefillin and sifrei Torah
to Israel.
The UOJCA youth commis-
sion, in conjunction with the
National Conference of Syna-
gogue Youth, have announced
a goal of 1,000 pair of tefillin
to be collected during the
coming year for the soldiers
of Israel. The total tefillin
shortage is estimated at 5,000
sets. Approximately 1,500
sifrei Torah are needed.

Jan, 26-Feb. 3 Bond Conclave
to Plan Billion Dollar Issue

NEW YORK—A world con-
ference of Jewish leaders will
be held in Israel at the in-
vitation of Prime Minister
Golda Meir, Jan. 26-Feb. 3,
"for the purpose of inaugu-
rating the biggest effort in its
history to maintain and ex-
pand the reconstruction and
expand the reconstruction
and development of Israel's
economy."
More than . 600 Jewish
leaders from the United
States, Canada, Western Eu-
rope and other parts of the
free world will meet to con-
sider the impact of the Yorn
Kippur War on the economy
of Israel. The conference
will be sponsored by the Is-
rael Bond Organization, the
principal source of funds for
the development of the coun-
try's industry and agricul-
ture, according to Sam Roth-
berg, Israel Bonds general
chairman.
The major purpose of tho
conference, according to
Rothberg, is to launch a
billion dollar reconstruction
and development loan to be
raised through the sale of

Media Personalities
Take Israel Tour

NEW YORK —.Twenty-five
prominent media personali-
ties will be visiting Israel on
a 10-day tour under
auspices of the American.
Zionist Federation, which
will depart from New York.
Feb. 17.
The tour is part of an on

Israel Bonds.
This represents the largest
Israel Bond issue ever float-
ed. The government of Israel
was prompted to take this
action as a result of the Yom
Kippur War which drained
the country's economic re-
sources and led to unexpect-
edly record defense expendi-
tures.
Since the first Bond issue
was inaugurated in the
-United States in 1951 by the
late D_avid Ben-Gurion, first
prime minister of Israel, the
sale of Israel Bonds has pro-
duced a total of $2.7 billion.
