Friday, January 18, 1974-9
Russian Emigres Welcomed
Russian immigrant Michael Lefkowitz and his recently-
arrived sister Tauba Klemptner, entertained 50 other former
Soviet citizens who have been relocated in Detroit, together
with many specially invited members of the community, at
a party sponsord by the Resettlement Service. From left
are Mrs. Sol C. Grossman, Resettlement Service president,
who chats before the musical • performance with Mrs.
Klemptner, 26, an accomplished pianist, and Lefkowitz, 19,
who has lived here for nearly two years and is studying
violin with Mischa Mischakoff. Dr. Ellis B. Rifkin, chairman
of the Resettlement Service hospitality committee, coordin-
ated the gathering which provided an opportunity for the
immigrants and community to meet. Resettlement Service,
a Jewish Welfare Federation agency, was established in
1937 to help settle Jewish refugees in the United States.
IL 11 Billion Supplemental War
Expense Budget OKd by Cabinet
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The,
cabinet approved a record
IL 11,000.000,000 ($2,750,000,-
000) supplementary budget
representing an increase of
more than 50 per cent over
the regular annual budget of
IL 20,000,000,000.
The suPplementary budget
is intended mainly to cover
expenges arising from the
Yorn Kippur War. It is over
and above an emergency
sunplementary budget of IL
1.250,000.000 approved while
the war was still being
fought to cover immediate
exnenses.
The supplementary budget
was approved without opposi-
tion and will be submitted to
the eighth Knesset when it
convenes for the first time
next week.
Finance Minister Pinhas
Sapir who introduced the
budget to the cabinet said it
was Israel's biggest addi-
tional budget, both absolute.
ly and relatively.
In addition to regular war
expenses. the budget also
covers the salaries paid
mobilized men which amount
to IL 200,000,000 a month.
The budget also includes
sums which were determined
before the war, such as the
pay increases in the summer
of 1973.
Sapir said the national
Product declined sharply in
the last quarter Of the year,
more sharply than any de-
cline in the past and was
related to the partial mobil-
ization of the economy.
Red Paper Softer on Israel,
Is Possible Diplomacy Move
BRUSSELS (JTA) — The
Communist Party organs
here have been circulating a
text said to be written by
Communists of "Jewish or-
igins" which departs from
the usual hard anti-Israel
party line.
The writers of the unsign-
ed text, "Reflections on the
Future of the State of Is-
rael." assert that "Israel is
a living reality for us" be-
cause of "historical, tradi-
tional and family ties."
Many observers here note
that the text appears at a
time when there is much talk
of the possible renewal of
Soviet-Israeli diploinatic re-
lations.
These observers indicate
the article may have been
published in a Western Com-
munist Party paper at the
instigation of the Soviet
Union as a diplomatic move
in order to sound out the
opinion of the Jewish com-
munity in the Western world.
The outline of the article
remains within the general
Communist Party lines, but
is noteworthy for its tone of
moderation. It criticizes Is-
rael's present government
and what it calls its "sui-
tidal" policy of "annexa-
tion," but at the same time,
makes no virulent attack on
Zionism and Zionist struc-
tures in Israel.
Furthermore, the writers
see Israel's survival in the
Middle East among its Arab
neighbors - as positive and
even go so far as to say Is-
rael has the right to exist
on condition that the Arab
territories be evacuated and
the national rights of the
Palestinians be fully recog-
nized.
It criticizes the United.
States and its policy of force
in the Mediterranean and ad-
vises the Jewish state to
"change its allies."
Such an alliance, they say,
is jeopardizing Israel's
chance to develop better re-
lations with Europe and take
advantage of the East-West
detente. In this connection,
the writers express "their
hope for improved Soviet-
Israeli relations in the near
future."
