SS Shalom May Fly Soviet Flag

Israeli General Suffers Stroke; Kept Waiting at NYC Hospital

HAMBURG — Will the old
SS Shalom, Israel's queen
ocean liner suffer the ulti-
mate disgrace: sale to the
Soviet merchant marine?
The Shalom, which had
been built for the Zim Lines,

Now, the Shalom-renamed-

again, to the Robin Shipping

fate, observers said.

Man's Particularity

Every person born into this
world represents something
new, something that never
existed before, something or-
iginal and unique. It is . the
duty of every person in Is-
rael to know and consider
that he is unique in the world
in his particular character
and that there has never
been anyone like him in the
world, for if there had been
someone like him; there
would have been no need for
him to be in the world. Ev-
ery single man is a new thing
in the world and is called up-
on to fulfill his particularity
in the world.—Martin Buber.

because he didn't have the
money with him for a pro-
jected stay.
Dr. Harry Jaffe, a cardi-
ovascular specialist who was
called in to treat the general,
insisted that although Yoffe
should have been admitted
to a hospital, his case was
not critical, and he had no
objection to the general's
waiting until a bed was avail-
able.
Dr. Jaffe said the hospital
was at fault for asking for
the $3,080 hospital fee in ad-
vance. As a foreign visitor,
Gen. Yoffe was not covered

miles.
Officials said that they
would allow the fires to burn
for another week to reduce
underwater pressure in the
wells.
Estimates of the loss re-
sulting from the fire have
been put at 15 per cent of
Abu Rodeis' total output and
up to 20 per cent of Israel's
annual oil consumption esti-
mated at IL 1,000,000 a day.
Pumping from the undam-
aged offshore and inland oil
wells was intensified, mean-
while, although Israeli ex-
perts expressed fear that the
entire offshore field would
have to be abandoned until
the fire was put out and the
damage repaired. Repairs
will require new platforms
and pipes to replace those
wrecked by the fire.
Israel was awaiting the ar-
rival of specialists from
abroad in putting out offshore
oil well fires. Foreign help
was called for last week but
apparently there were delays
in locating the men needed.
A preliminary investigation
has ruled out sabotage, and
no casualties were reported.
The fire, sending flames and
smoke hundreds of feet into

the air, swept over several
oil rigs and platforms in the
shallow waters off the Sinai
shore.
There are 20 off-shore wells
at Abu Rodeis, which was
captured from Egypt in the
1967 Six-Day War.
The field is operated by the
Israel government - owned
Netivei Neft oil company
which invested $3,500,000 in
the offshore drilling. The off-
shore oil is superior to that
produced by the inland wells.
Abu Rodeis has been supply-
ing some 60 per cent of the
17,000,000 tons of oil Israel
consumes annually. All of it
is refined in Israel.
Israeli engineers have be-
gun surveying for new oil
sources to replace the Abu
Rodeis losses.
The Israeli government has
approved a budget of IL 137,-
000,000 to establish wells, fol-
lowing favorable reports on
the existence of new petrol-
eum deposits by a team of
geologists. The finance min-
istry is negotiating with a
group of foreign investors
who had expressed keen in-
terest in participating in the
venture with capital and
knowhow.

until an Israeli official sent
down a check for the full
amount that the patient was
admitted," Kashner said.
Meanwhile, Kashner called
his own physician, Dr. Isaac
Chomski, who usually treats
Israeli officials here. He said
the general had suffered a
cerebral - vascular accident,
and that in such cases the
first two-three days are crit-
ical.

The director of the hospital,
Dr. S. David Pomrinse, de-
fended the hospital. "We're
not in the business of refus-.

have some kind of policy to

that other hospitals had the
same policy.
