On Mon- War Wounded Mrs. Kissinger Gets Cram Coursein Jewish History on Israel Visit By GIL SEDAN and TUVIA MENDELSON JERUSALEM (JTA) — As her famous husband shuttled between Jerusalem, Damas- cus and Alexandria in pur- suit of Israeli-Syrian disen- gagement, Nancy Kissinger performed the tasks of a diplomat's wife abroad—so- cial rounds and sightseeing— which were in their own way no less grueling than those of the secretary of state. Reflecting the public's al- sst insatiable appetite for .- AS and views of Dr. Kiss- mger's recent bride, report ers and photographers dog- ged her every step in and around Jerusalem and on a visit to Masada. They unintentionally cre- ated a commotion when, along with security men they followed Mrs. Kissinger into the Ezrat Nashim (women's section) at the Western Wall where males or forbidden. "What's happening here?" screamed the attendant in near panic-. But it was too late, for Mrs. Kissinger was already at the wall surround_ ed by photographers as she watched elderly woman sob- bing against the ancient stones. Her tour of Jewish holy places last Friday was fol- lowed by a visit to the Dome of the Rock which, according to Moslem tradition, can be trod only by unshod feet. Journalists, barred - from entering the mosque, spent their time speculating which of the long row of shoes out- tinguished guest. When Mrs. Kissinger emerged, she had the same question. "Where are my shoes?" she asked. Mrs. Kissinger was offici- ally the guest of Suzy Eban, wife of the foreign minister. On Friday night, while her husband was in Damascus, she dined with the Ebans at one of Jerusalem's most fashionable restaurants. Jer- usalem society showed up, too, to catch a glimpse of the famous visitor. On Saturday, there was a walking tour of the Old City, followed by hordes of pho- tographers and f rie ndly crowds. Mrs. Kissinger, who is about 6 feet tall, found it dif- ficult to keep a low profile, even we a ring low-heeled shoes. She maintained her smile, but obviously she was weary and especially un- happy over the flash bulbs that kept popping off in her face. Dr. Avraham Biran, head of the government's antiqui- ties department, persisted in giving her a cram course on the history of Jerusalem as row streets. Mrs. Kissinger listened pol- litely, asked only one or two questions and gave the im- pression she wished the tour would end. Her itinerary included a visit to the Yad Vashem Hol- ocaust memorial where she was shown the book of the destroyed Jewish communi- ties of Bavaria in which the names of members of her husband's family are listed. On Friday morning there was a visit to the excavations at Masada as guest of He- ties of Bavaria in which the brew University archeologist Yigal Yadin, who appeared only too anxious to impart to Mrs. Kissinger the entire his- tory of the ancient fortress and details of the latest digs. Mrs. Kissinger also visited the Weizmann Institute at Rehovot where its president, Meyer Weisgal was to give a party for Golda Meir on her 76th birthday. She spent most of Saturday afternoon resting in her King David Hotel suite and then hurried to Ben-Gurion Air- port to meet her husband ar- day the Kissingers left for Amman, Jordan, and return- ed Tuesday to Jerusalem. Kissinger took his wife to meet Premier Golda Meir on the eve of her birthday May 3. Mrs. Meir, receiving the couple at her residence, con- gratulated them and gave Mrs. Kissinger a wedding gift of two ancient glass bottles, one for perfume and the other for tears. The premier explained that, according to ancient custom, every wife must have a bottle to collect her tears of sorrow whenever her husband was away—a seemingly appropriate gift in view of Kissinger's trav- els.

Volunteers Praised by President Katzir NEW YORK — American a n d Canadian volunteers, who gave up their schooling, jobs and businesses to help Israel during the Yom Kip- pur War, have received the gratitude and thanks of the state of Israel. President Ephraim Katzir, in a special message to the men and women who serve on the kitbutzim and coopera-, tive villages of Israel, de- clared: "As we .take stock of the situation in Israel today, we hear again • and again how much the successful continu- ation of agriculture in our kibutzim and cooperative vil- lages during the war, owes to the volunteers who took the place of thousands of soldiers and reservists. "As some stay on and others go at the end of their ‘dged time, we hope and -elieve that other young peo- ple will be coming from the West to serve as volunteers in Israel's farms and fac- tories and at the same time find ,a new dimension for their lives — the dimension of encountering history and helping to create it by their own .efforts." The Am e r i c an Zionist Youth Foundation's "Project Etgar" program, for high school graduates and college age men and women, is pres- ently seeking volunteers to continue the aid to the kibut- zim and cooperative villages.
