Federal Housing Bill to Revive
BB Homes-for-Elderly Project
WASHINGTON — Twenty
months after a moratorium
on federal housing subsidies
stalled 29 low rent Bnai Brith
apartment projects for the
elderly, President Ford has
signed an $11.9 billion hous-
ing bill that will revive plan-
ning for the almost 5,000
apartment units.
Bnai Br i t h had already
completed or began construc-
tion on five projects when the
mortgage subsidy provisions
of the 1968 Housing Act that
permitted nonprofit commun-
ity organizations to construct
elderly housing was frozen in
January 1973. The 29 other
projects were then in the
planning stages.
Bnai Brith was a prime
mover in organizing a coali-
tion of community and relig-

ious organizations that testi-
fied in House and Senate
hearings and discussed pro-
posals with the Department
of Housing and Urban De-
velopment in a vigorous cam-
paign to retain the construc-
tion subsidy program.
The delayed projects now
face much higher costs of
land and construction because
of the delay.
Under the Housing and
Community Development Act
of 1974, $800,000,000 will be
allotted for construction of
low rent housing for indiv-
uals or couples over the age
of 62 with low incomes. The
law provides mortgage guar-
antees and 'subsidies for in-
terest rates above 3 per cent.
The new law also provides
cash grants to the elderly to
lessen the impact of the high
costs of apartment rentals.
Bnai Brith apartment pro-
jects provide studio and one-
bedroom apartments in build-
ings with architectural fea-
tures suited to the elderly.
The buildings include ramps
and handrails and feature
special programs, lounges,
social halls, libraries, and
shopping in areas convenient
to community institutions.

Israel Ends Military Exercise;
Practice Mobilization 'Successful'
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A 48-
hour military exercise in-
volving Israeli air force,
artillery, infantry and engi-
neering units was completed
in Sinai Tuesday.
A military communique
said the exercise, which in-
cluded the practice crossing
of a large waterway, was
aimed at putting into prac-
tice some of the lessons
learned in the Yom Kippur
War.
The large-scale day and
night maneuvers were wit-
nessed in part by Premier
Yitzhak Rabin, a former
chief of staff, Defense Minis-
ter Shimon Peres, Chief of
Staff Gen. Mordechai Gur
and senior officers and for-
eign military attaches, the
communique said.
The exercise, described as
the biggest by Israel's armed
forces since the war last
October coincided with the
practice mobilization of Is-
raeli army, navy and air
force reserves completed
Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Israel's mobili-
zation exercise ended Mon-
day earlier than the 24 hours
scheduled for the test as top
officials called it a success.
Defense Minister Shimon
Peres, who visited the as-
sembly points, decided to
shorten the exercise in view
of the excellent response by
reservists.
Chief of Staff Gen. Morde-
chai Gur also said today that
the exercise was a success.
He said many units had 100
per cent of their men report
while others came close to
the target.
The 24-hour mobilization
test began Sunday with radio
and television broadcasting
special code names for the
units being called up.
In Tel Aviv, a small trans-
port plane flew over the city
dropping thousands of leaf-
lets signed by Gen. Herzl
Shafir, head of the general
staff department, announcing
the call-up and listing the
code names.
The news of the expected
exercise also was relayed by
the citizens themselves, and
shortly after official an-
nouncements were made, re-
serve soldiers belonging to
units with such code names
as "Listening Ear," "Young
Lions," "Pair of Shoes," "In-
surance Policy," "Samson
and Delilah," "Matriculation
Certificate," and "Slaugh-
tered Men," were on their
way to assembly points or
their unit meeting places.
The soldiers, who left their

work, stores and offices, trav-
elled by private cars or by
public bus transportation us-
ing special vouchers.
Before the mobilization
call, Israel assured the for-
eign legations here and the
United Nations Emergency
Force that the mobilization
will not take more than 24
hours.
In an interview with Da-
Var, Defense Minister Shi-
mon Peres stressed that Is-
rael learned from the Yom
Kippur War that the country
must not be caught napping
again and that both the peo-
ple and the army must be
prepared for any eventuality.
Meanwhile, Syrian newspa-
pers reported that the Syrian
armed forces were being mo-
bilized in reaction to the Is-
raeli call-up. However, it
was reliably learned here
that no special movements of
any kind had been observed
on either the Syrian or Egyp-
tian fronts.
Kissinger Popularity in Israel
Drops 15 Per Cent Since June
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Ac-
cording to a public opinion
poll, Secretary of State Henry
A. Kissinger's popularity has
dropped 15.5 per cent since
June.
A group of some 1,200 Is-
raelis were asked by the
Public Opinion Research In-
stitute if they thought Kis-
singer was doing a good job.
Two months ago 63.8 per
cent said they thought he
was, compared with 48.3
percent who said yes in the
latest poll.
The secretary and the
United States government
have come under increasing
criticism in the Israeli press
over fears that the U.S. is
taking a more pro-Arab posi-
tion on the Middle East.
Another public opinion poll
conducted by Research Serv-
ices reported that a majority
of Israelis felt that Golda
Meir's government was more
capable of facing pressures
than the government of Yit-
zhak Rabin. Of those polled,
64 per cent felt the previous
government was stronger in
the face of pressure, while
17 per cent viewed the pres-
ent government as t h e
stronger one.
The poll also showed that
47 per cent believed that
Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan
and Abba Eban could have
handled better the Sebastia
affair compared with the
way it was handled by Yit-
zhak Rabin, Shimon Peres
and Yigal Allon. Only 34
per cent felt that Rabin,
Peres and Allon handled it
better than the former gov-
ernment officials would have
done.

`Israel Must Leave
Occupied Lands'
COPENHAGEN (JTA) —
Saudi Arabian Foreign Minis-
ter Sheik Omar Sakaf said in
a newspaper interview here
that Israel, must withdraw to
the pre-1967 borders if a
peace settlement is to be
reached in the Middle East.
Asked whether Saudi
Arabia would recognize the
Jewish state if it agreed to
withdraw to these borders,
he replied: "There are many
countries existing today with-
out our recognition."
Sakaf, currently on a tour
of the Scandinavian coun-
tries, made these statements
to the Danish daily, Ber-
lingske Tidende, before leav-
ing Denmark for Sweden.
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
—A statement issued here in
the name of Egyptian
Foreign Minister Ismail
Fahmi said the Egypt will
not be the first country to in-
troduce nuclear weapons in
the Middle East and urged
Israel to adhere to the nuc-
lear non-proliferation treaty.
Fahmi, who returned to
Washington for further talks,
said the widest possible ad-
herence to the pact was a
vital pre-requisite. He added
that Egypt, which has signed
the treaty, will ratify it as
soon as Israel does.
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
send a delegation to the
United States to "tell Ameri-
cans the truth about Kissin-
ger," charging that Secre-
tary of State Henry A: Kis-
singer is "selling Israel down
the river."
Landau, a leader of the
Herut section of Likud, said
on Israel Radio that Kissin-
ger is endangering Israel's
basic security.
Likud charged that the re-
cent U.S.-Jordanian and U.S..
Egyptian communiques in
Washington indicated Kissin-
ger has adapted the view-
point of the two Arab states.
Landau told a Likud execu-
tive meeting that Kissinger
has broken all his promises
to Foreign Minister Yigal
Allon regarding prior consul-
tations on the next diploma-
tic move for a Middle East
peace settlement.
He said the U.S. also prom-
ised that there would be no
concrete proposals agreed
to with Egypt and Jordan.
Landau also scored Kissinger
for announcing that Israeli
Premier Yitzhak Rabin would
come to Washington in Sep-
tember without first getting
Rabin's consent.
`Israel Advanced
in Laser Research'
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Israel
and Israeli scientists hold a
central position among their
world-wide colleagues in the
field of laser rays research
and application, according to
Prof. - Joseph Singer, a mem-
ber of the Israeli Aircraft
Industry Directorate and
chairman of the Ninth Inter-
national Council for Aviation
Studies.
The application of laser
rays for aviation and other
uses is in an advanced stage
in Israel, and the progress
made in this field was dis-
cussed, among other topics,
at the Ninth International
Council for Aviation Studies.
Laser rays can also be ap-
plied to the compression of
fuel in a new method dis-
covered by Israeli scientists
which would release energy
through controlled nuclear
fusion.
Should this process be de-
veloped for electrical power
plants, Israeli scientists say,
it would free the world from
dependence on oil or uranium
for energy production.
This method requires the
use of deuterium, a heavy
isotope of hydrogen, which
is easily obtained from
water at negligible costs.
