Mandell L. Berman, president of the Jewish Welfare Federation, announced that the • cash mobilization campaign is headed by Louis Berry and I. William Sherr. Berman said the cash effort complies with an appeal by the Jewish Agency for Israel for funds to maintain the hu- manitarian programs it finances through the United Jewish Appeal, which is the major beneficiary of the AJC-IEF. The UJA has set a national goal of $250,000,000 in cash collections by the end of June, the cash mobilization campaign chairmen stated. They said: "We will do our best in the next several weeks to collect payments to help fill the urgent need for cash. There will be special bill- ings and telethons asking people to pay as much as they can on their 1974 pledges." According to statistics released by the ' Jewish Agency, the current inflation rate in Israel is 26 per cent. Attributed to the world's economic situation as well as the after-effects of the Yom Kippur War, the rise in the cost of living also affects the cost of services and programs financed by the Jewish Agency. The Jewish Agency is currently pre- * paying for construction of housing for immigrants and underprivileged Israelis. Construction costs are rising 3.2 per cent per month. Israel's political crisis grew to such immense proportions that Prime Minister Golda Meir announced in Jerusalem on Wednesday that she will tender her resignation at the cabinet meet- ing on Thursday evening. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that she had told the Labor Party leaders, at a have reached the end of the road. I can- meeting in Tel Aviv that " my decision is irrevocable. I not carry on any longer. The matters are not linked to Dayan but to me personally." The announcement, JTA reports, came after the Labor. Alignment was unable to resolve factional differences over the question of whether Defense Minister Moshe Dayan should resign. Opposition to the Meir government, expressed in many protests and demonstrations, were primarily directed at Dayan, with demands for his resignation. Resentment was especially created by the exonera- tion of Mrs. Meir and Dayan in the Agranat Commission's partial report which resulted in the resignation of Gen. David Elazar, army chief of staff, and several of his subordinates. Until Mrs. Meir's announcement on Wednesday it was expected that the crisis would be resolved by a reshuffling of the cabinet which would remove Dayan as head of the ministry of defense but would give him another post in the cabinet. Nevertheless, there was a feeling that the Meir government was due to topple soon and that a new election was imminent. Widespread outpourings of sympathy for Gen.

The book, by Dick Verkijk, is due to go on sale the end of this month. Excerpts have appeared in several papers. Verkijk, who was a child during the occupation, did several years' research on the 750-page study of the networks' attitude during the occupation. In the book, he shows most networks and their employes willingly collaborated with the Germans, including many well-known names still in the business today. Verkijk's book received a sharp attack from a former Dutch re- . sistance leader and government official, 70-year-old Dr. Jaap Burger, who criticized the book for "being based on abstract research by a man who during the occupation was too young to bear any responsibility." Terrorists Hit Again in Israel Eight children and eight ad- ults were murdered by infil- trating Arab terrorists in the Kiryat Shemona settlement in northern Israel Thursday morn- ing. The three terrorists who launched the murderous assault were killed by the police. The Arabs blockaded a school building, demanding release of 100 terrorists under arrest. Apartment buildings were at- tacked by the terrorists and an explosion was reported in one of them.

Elizabeth Holtzman (D. N.Y.). She made the charge in testi- mony before a House immigration subcommittee. She told the JTA Tuesday that the U.S. Immigration and Naturali- zation Service had subsequently admitted to her that it had done virtually nothing over a period of nine months to institute deportation proceedings against the alleged war criminals. They have not interviewed a single witness in any of the 38 cases, Rep. Holtzman told the JTA. She said she is asking for a complete report on the status of the investigation and for a detailed timetable for action against each of the 38 persons. Under the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act, any alien or naturalized citizen is subject to deportation if their entry into the U.S. was based on false statements. There is no statue of limitations on deportation, Rep. Holtzman noted. She said that some of the alleged war criminals have been in the U.S. almost 25 years and that 25 of the 38 have become naturalized citizens.
