WE ACCEPT THE CHALLENGES OF 1974!
This year marks the golden jubilee of the ISRAEL HISTADRUT CAMPAIGN. Detroit Jewry
has been a creative partner of Histadrut for a half a century — helping build a remarkable
network of hospitals, clinics, trade schools, cultural centers, youth -villages, retirement homes,
synagogues, stadiums and a vast assortment of constructive programs for new immigrants
from all corners of the world. We call upon our fellow Detroiters to contribute generously
to the 1974 ISRAEL HISTADRUT CAMPAIGN — NOW — when our 'moral support and our
money will be most meaningful to those who constitute — in the words of Golda Meir —
"the heart of Israel".

MEDICAL CARE
for more 2,000,000 Israelis — 72°/0 of the country's
entire population — is provided by Histadrut's Kupat Holim through 16
major hospitals (above is the Kaplan Hospital at Rehovot,), over 1,100
clinics and hundreds of related facilities, 2,249 soldiers wounded in
the Yom Kippur War have been treated at Kupat Holim hospitals.
15,000 TEEN-AGERS attend the 38 AMAL vocational schools of Histadrut.
Many volunteered to help in Israel's vital industries during the crisis.
Nearly 50,000 boys and girls have received scholarship aid through the
Histadrut Scholarship Fund.
According to Sam F. Test,
district manager of the De-
troit-Northwest Social Secu-
rity Office, some residents
will receive a different type
of check from Social Secu-
rity.
The new checks will take
two forms; one, a new gold
colored check and the other,
the familiar green Federal
check but with several names
on the face of the check. The
gold check and the special
green check will represent
the first payments made by
new Supplemental Security
Income program which be-
gan Jan. 1.
"The reason for the gold
colored check is simply to
give us some quick way of
knowing which payment a
person is talking about when
they contact our office, Test
said. The other special green
checks will be issued on an
as needed basis to newly
eligible applicants where
there is an immediate and
emergency need for funds,"
Test continued. He added
that banks, merchants and
others who cash checks as a
part of their regular business
activity should feel free to
contact the Social Security
Office if they had any ques-
tion about the new checks.
Since the greatest possi-
bility for confusion lies with
the special green checks, the
Detroit-Northwest Social Se-
curity Office will be provid-
ing a letter of explanation
with each special check is-
sued. "We hope this will help
eliminate any doubt in the
minds of those who mgiht be
asked to cash these checks,"
Test added.
The Supplemental Security
Income program is a new
program which provides pay-
ments to aged, blind and dis-
abled individuals up to S130
or up to $195 for eligible
couples.

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Japan's Deputy Prime Mini-
ster Takeo Miki said here
that the UN Security Council
Resolution 242 has "two
principal components," Is-
raeli withdrawal to its pre-
June 5, 1967 borders and the
"legitimate rights" of the Pal-
estinian refugees.
He made no mention of the
resolution's guarantee to Is-
rael of "safe and secure bor-
ders" in outlining Japan's
position in a news conference
at the Japanese Embassy.
Miki, who met with news-
men after a two-hour meet-
ing With Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger at the
State Department, indicated
Japan's extreme sensitivity
against arousing Arab ire.
He pointed out Japan's "de-
gree of dependency" on oil
imports "unparalleled"
among major industrial na-
tions and that 73.5 per cent
of "our energy comes from
oil."
Arab oil producers success-
fully pressured Japan after
the Yom Kippur War to adopt
a pro-Arab position.
Miki, who came to Wash-
ington after touring Arab
countries, said that Japan
would assist Arab countries
in technical developments
and other ways. He said that
a policy of cooperation be-
tween oil producers and us-
ers, rather than confrontation
was essential.
