Syrian attacks entered their third week, in spite of the agreed-upon cease fire, with Kat:usha rockets from mobile launchers in salvos of 12 to 24 missiles. While Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger has repeatedly asserted that disengagement of Syrian- Israel troops and continued amicable arrangements with Egypt cannot be achieved without the cooperation of the Soviet Union, the reported obstacles he has met in his talks with Communist Party leader Leonid Brezhnev have added to the concern that has arisen over an approaching peace. The new developments are adding to the difficulties that may confront Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan when he comes to Washington today for talks with Kissinger on disengagement on the Golan Heights. A Syrian representative still is scheduled to come to the U.S. to continue the talks after Dayan will have returned to Israel.

Let all hungry come and eat. Let all who are in wa— come and celebrate the Passover with us . . ." This age-old admonition, beginning the reading of the I-Iagada, reminds all Jews that they must first care for the needs of their brethren in want before they themselves can sit down to the seder table. Detroit and its suburbs have many Jews living on marginal incomes—possibly as many 'as 10,000, say social workers. Although many are isolated from the Jewish community, they still feel the need at Passover to identify with their people. The traditional Detroit Passover fund attempts to fill that need. This year, Mo'os Hitim, Funds for Passover, faces increased costs (the price of matzo and matzo products has almost doubled since last year) and many more needy families, some of them immi- grants from Russia. Contributions for the distribution of Passover foods to needy families and to hospital and mental institution patients are sorely needed.

NEW YORK—Israeli government officials will request at the_current meeting of the League of Red Cross Socie- ties in Geneva that Magen David Adorn—Israel's lied Cross service—be accepted for membership in the league. Israel's first request for membership was rejected in 1949. It is feared that the request will be turned down again because of opposition to the Star of David and be- cause of political pressures by the Arab states, third-world countries and European nations that are wooing Arab favor because of the oil embargo. Action on Magen David Adom's request is expected within two weeks. Although the league recognizes the Red Crescent as a symbol for the Arab nations and the Red Lion and Sun for Iran, there has been no such recognition of Israel's em- blem, the Magen David. Dr. Moshe Many, chairman of Magen David Adom's executive committee, noted that refusal to recognize the Star of David as a symbol "meant that our medical service, bearing the emblem, whether on ground or in air, could be fired on time of hostilities." He added that if the international Red Cross were to assume a universal symbol with no ethnic or religious significance, it would be accepted by Magen David Adorn. George M. Elsey, president of the American Red Cross, has indicated his support of Magen David Adorn, and Dr. Many appealed to the 'U.S. State Department to use its influence at the Geneva conference. (For a decade or more, The Jewish News editorially questioned what it termed the injustice of lack of recogni- tion and admission of Magen David Adorn. Out of The Jewish News- protest developed a correspondence between Detroiter Leonard Simons, a leader in the Red Cross, and the Southeastern Michigan chapter of the American Na- tional Red Cross. (Robert G. Wick, executive director of the chapter, recently wrote Simons reiterating American Red Cross support of Israel's bid for membership in the league. (The Geneva conference has been called to modernize, extend and revise the 1949 conventions, to which Israel is a party, along with 119 other governments. The International Committee of the Red Cross acts as guardians of the con- ventions, but the conventions do not 'provide a means to enforce government compliance. (Wick wrote Simons that "The question of Syria's fail- ure to abide by the Geneva conventions is a matter for the 120 governments that have signed the agreements to deal with.")
