healthy, because it's realis-

"The Israelis now realize
that there can never again
be a peace without negotia-
tion. They no longer think of
themselves as supermen, and
there's nothing healthier than
realism."
He noted that the Israelis
were good fighters rather
than warriors and said that
they were also fighting for

omiCally, the war
Ana e an horrendous impact,
said Zuckerman. Its cost was
the equivalent of one year's
gross national product. Citing
the fact that two-thirds of the
nation is still mobilized, he
catalogued some of the econ-
omic facts still adversely af-
fecting the country More
than three months after the
cease fire; the lack of trucks
-to move harvested crops, the
lack of manpower to work at
essential jobs, the lack of
housing starts since Oct. 6,
the overcrowded living con-.
ditions of the more than 20,-
000 immigrants who have ar-
rived since the onset of hos-
tilities, the impoverished cir-
cumstances of thounds of
young Israelis, the manda-
tory loan imposed by the gov-
ernment to help meet the
cost of war.
Israel, said the UJA chair-
man, "must get down to the
business of building" , a coun-
try now. She must concen-
trate on providing the essen-
tials of life for her citizens.
Her tragic responsibility of
providing for the families of
the 2,500 fatalities of the
Yom Kippur War, and the
necessity to aid with the re-
habilitation and the support
of the 7,000 young people who
will carry war injuries
through the rest of their
lives: adds to her burdens. •
"I'm worried by the cam-
paign slowdown," said Zuck-
erman. "Those emergency
fund-raising meetings which
were held-4n October and No-
vember and December were
spurred not only by our gen-,
erosity but by fear as well.
We were working frantically -
to keep ourselves assured, as
well as the Israelis, that Is-
rael would survive.
"While the struggle is less
dramatic now, it is still as
crucial. Israel has become
not only the touchstone of
Judaism but also the dream
and hope of all Jews who
want to get out of countries
where life is not free and
have a life as a Jew.
"We must accentuate our
efforts if we're to provide
gh money for Israel's
tial humanitarian ser-
vices."
Zuckerman concluded his
campaign message with the
thought that "If we look to
each other (and I don't care
where the Jew is, but espe-
cially if he's in Israel,) we
will give each other love and
strength. -And Israel will sur-
vive."
Campaign vice - chairman
Dr. Leon Fill, who just re-
turned from a UJA People-
to-People mission, told the
attendees of the availability
of weekly UJA missions to
Israel.
Fill said that "We will
learn much by being there,
and the people of Israel will
be assured of our concern
when they can actually see
our faces and smiles and
share our brotherhood."
Avrunin concluded the

there' are only six more
weeks left in the campaign.

Christian Institutions Damaged
in Jerusalem; 13 Are Arrested
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
capital's police chief, Haim
Breitenfeld, told newsman
here Wednesday that 13 ar-
rests had already been made
in the investigation into arson
at three Christian establish-
ments Monday. Twelve of
these would be charged, he
said, and one released. He
expected more arrests soon.
Meanwhile, Christian insti-
tutions had been given special
protection — which Breiten-
feld refused to describe in
detail.
Of the 12,. all but two were
between the ages of 16 and
24. One was under 16, and
orre was about 40. Some — he
would not say how many —
were members of the Jewish
Defense League, headed by
Meir Kahane. The police
chief was careful to avoid
saying that the JDL as such
had actually organized the
triple arson.
(The league subsequent to
the arson issued a statement
praising the bravery of the
perpetrators.)
. Breitenfeld said all but one
of the arrestees spoke good
Hebrew. He would not say
what the nationality was of
that one — or of the Hebrew-
speakers. He said the arres-
tees were all Orthodox.
Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren
has issued a statement con-
demning the arson. "Such
brutal acts are in direct con-
tradiction to the tennets of
Judaism," the chief rabbi
wrote.
The three institutions at-
tacked were a Baptist church,
a Swedish theological center
and hostel for visiting stu-
dents and a Protestant Evan-
gelical center named "Zion
House." Only the latter en-
gages in activities which
could be construed as mis-
sionary.
The police chief said the
lead to the case was provided
by a young man who ap-
peared with serious burns at
Shaare Zedek Hospital on the
night of the arson. His inter-
rogation led to other suspects.
An anonymous letter, the
whereabouts of which were
revealed to a journalist by
an anonymous phone call,
claimed responsibility for the
arson for "The Organization
Get your facts first, and
then you can distort them as
much as you please.
You make your donations and buy your bonds, but deep
down you know it's not enough. And it isn't. Because Israel
needs more than just money. Israel needs people. Israel
needs you.
But more importantly, you need Israel. It's become a
part of you, an important part. Away from her you are help-
less. And if anything should happen to Israel—you'd never
forgive yourself.
So maybe just worrying about Israel isn't enough. Maybe
you should do something about it.
How about living there?
It's not an easy decision. But the things Israel offers you
may just make it worthwhile. The feeling that you are im-
portant, that you make a difference. The sense of belong-
ing, being with your own people, at the right time and in
the right place. And finally the peace of mind you will never
have anywhere else.
So stop worrying about Israel.

Truman and Eddie:
Home Socials Nixed
In his review of Merle Mill-
er's the "Oral Biography of
Harry S. Truman," in last
Sunday's New York Times
Book Review Section, Robert
Sherrill stated:
"Truman really went out of
his way to help the Jews set
up a nation-state; but never
did he ask his lifelong pal
Eddie Jacobson over to the
house for supper, and Mrs.
Jacobson tells Miller it was
because the Wallaces (Mrs.
Truman's people) were aris-
tocracy in these parts, and.
under the circumstances the
Trumans couldn't afford to
have Jews in their houses: "

branches, fruits and leaves, so too, does
a human being have roots, fruits—
which are deeds—leaves—which are his
