Congressional Committees Approve Extensive Aid

aid program which now goes
to nations.
A committee source told
the JTA Wednesday that the
aid missions, known as Mili-
tary Assistance Advisory
Groups (MAAG) are current-
ly active in 50 countries, but
Israel is not one of them.
The approval of the mili-
tary and 'economic aid to Is-
rael came as the foreign re-
lations committee and the
Senate appropriations de-
fense subcommittee approved
cuts in the military and for-
eign aid bills. The subcom-
mittee slashed the defense
department's budget by more
than $5 billion in approving
a $81.9 billion appropriations
bill. The foreign relationl
committee trimmed $750,-
000,000 from the $3.225 bil-
lion asked by former Presi-
dent Nixon for foreign aid.
None of these cuts, how-
ever, apply to Israel or
Egypt which were specifical-
ly named to receive the iden-
tical economic aid sums. The
House committee so far has
not considered military aid
cuts such as proposed in the
Senate. The amendment to
the House foreign aid bill
authorizing the $250,000,000
for Israel and Egypt was
submitted by Reps. Dante
Fascell (D., Fla.) and John
Buchanan (R., Ala.).
The phasing out of military
grants in aid will also not
apply to Israel which tradi-
tionally has paid for its
military purchases in the

In concerning itself with

In speaking of the need
for the synagogue to involve
its potential young leader-
ship, Canvasser stressed that
the synagogue "must begin
to woo our young people,"
he added.
"In every community or-
ganization, the establishment
competes for the involvement
of young Jews. Certainly,
they are involved in Israel;
they are active in protest and

Seminary to Train
Judaica Librarians
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
pilot project to train librar-
ians for Judaica collections,
financed by a special grant
from the National Endow-
ment for the Humanities, will
be started in January, 1975
at the New York campus of
the Jewish Theological Sem-
inary.
The program, directed by
Dr. Menahem Schmelzer, the
seminary librarian, will offer
courses in Judaic aspects of
bibliographical research to
supplement programs now of-
fered by library schools in
the Metropolitan area, ac-
cording to Dr. .Gerson D.
Cohen, seminary chancellor.
Dr. Cohen said that the
shortage of trained librarians
in the Jewish field was acute.
The major Judaica collec-
tions which survived Nazi
destruction in Europe were
dispersed and were now
slowly being reassembled in
this country, or in Israel, as
individual items reappeared
on the book market.
Important collections in
many college and university
libraries, in public libraries
and even in the Library of
Congress a wait classifica-
tion and will continue to wait
until librarians in the field
can be found.
Dr. Cohen also said the
pilot project was designed
to train such librarians, to
fill a gap in the professional
training of students of library
science who want to special-
ize in Judaica and will prove
useful to advanced students
in the field of Jewish studies
who wish to familiarize them-
selves with Hebrew manu-
scripts and the techniques
of identifying texts.
work in all varieties of social
service and political action
programs.
"It's time that our young
people are taught to learn
that all manner of social con-
sciousness springs from the
eternal values of their Judaic
heritage as represented by
the synagogue."
Among the congregations
comprising the Synagogue
Council of Greater Detroit
are the following:
Adat Shalom Synagogue,
Beth Abraham-Hillel, Beth
Moses, Beth Shalom, Bnai
David, Bnai Moshe, Shaarey
Zedek, Temple Beth El, Tem-
ple Beth El, Temple Emanu-
El, Temple Israel and Young
Israel of Oak-Woods, Young
Israel of Southfield, Young
Israel of Greenfield, Congre-
gation Beth Achim, Down-
town Synagogue, Temple
Beth Jacob of Pontiac, and
Livonia Jewish Congregation.

U.S. except for the $1.5 bil-
lion granted this year by
former President Nixon to
help cover Israel's costs in
the Yom Kippur War.
The reductions by the com-
mittee and subcommittee
were seen as a move by that
segment of the Senate which
would like to see less em-
phasis on heavy defense
spending and more on gov-
ernment spending on domes-
tic problems. It was noted
here that any effort to re-
duce inflation, which Presi-
dent Ford has termed Ameri-
ca's Public Enemy Number
One, could not exempt mili-
tary expenditures from re-
ductions.
White House Press Secre-
tary Jerald F. TerHorst said
Wednesday that President
Ford has "expressed serious
disappointment at the sieze
of the cuts" and that the
President hoped "Congress
will carefully analyze what
the impact of reductions of
that magnitude would mean
to the security capabilities
of the U.S."
