Mideast Peace Talk Activity Should Not Lessen, Eban Says
ATLANTA (JTA) — For-
' mer Foreign Minister Abba
Eben of Israel said here that
the "new momentum of ac-
1 ivity" which the disengage-
ment agreements have set in
notion toward a Middle East
to,1
I peace settlement should not
be allowed to lessen. "It is
dangerous to have a diplo-
matic vacuum," Eben said
in an address at the 66th
nnual convention of Hada-
ssah here.
- "We must end the six-year
ate on procedures and
...ctics and get back to the
concrete issues," he said,
'ling that it did not matter
ether the next round of
greements is with Jordan
or with Egypt.
:_--- Eban, who is in this coun-
try as a visiting professor at
Columbia University in New
York, stressed that the time
has come to think ahead in
the Middle East toward the
regional development of the
area. He envisioned future
cooperation between Leba-
non, Israel and Jordan along
the lines of the Benelux na-
tions, "in a reciprocal en-
tangelment of projects and
ideas where boundaries are
at once respected and trans-
cended."
Meanwhile, Sen. Henry M.
Jackson (D. Wash.) warned
that the stability of the Mid-
dle East could be under-
ft fined by pressure on Israel
to make further territorial
concessions in the absence of
U.S. Hospitals Better Equipped
to Treat War Wounds of Israelis
By SUE MACY
NEW YORK (JTA) — Al-
though Israel has developed
a remarkable network of
medical services in her short
history, the continual strains
of war occasionally leave the
country with soldiers whose
I medical needs can be met
best abroad.
Ever since 1948 Israel has
sent wounded war veterans
-for medical help in other
countries, including the Un-
ited States, and as the diag-
-noses of Yom Kippur War
veterans were made these
past few months, those who
could not obtain adequate
help in Israel were sent over-
seas for care.
Israeli war veterans in the
-- U.S. are sent here by Israel's
department for rehabilitation
in the ministry of defense,
- which pays medical and hos-
pital bills, plane fare, and
- living expenses for the vet-
eran and his escort (usually
a wife; brother, or other
family member).
When they reach the U.S.,
the veterans and their com-
panions are met by repre-
sentatives of the Israeli
Consulate in New York, who
take them to a hotel, register
them, and help arrange
medical — and social — activ-
ities.
Rivka Sivan, the head of
the consulate section in the
Consulate-General of Israel
in New York, coordinates the
activities of the veterans and
their escorts, many of whom
do not speak English and
have never before left their
homeland. Consulate staff
members often take the vet-
erans to dinner, help their
-- -impanions shop and arrange
sits to the hospital if the
veteran must stay in one
' while his companion waits
for the rehabilitation process
to end.
While some veterans are in
the U.S. for as little as four
weeks, others must stay as
long as one year, said Mrs.
Sivan. "They will not leave
the U.S. until everything pos-
sible is done for them," she
said. "Many have children at
home and don't like to stay
away too long, but when they
come here the boys are will-
ing to get as much care as
they can."
Mrs. Sivan said that al-
though the veterans' medical
problems are far-ranging, a
great many come for treat-
- ments on their eyes, includ-
ing the removal of foreign
bodies from the eye and
(
training in the use of seeing-
eye dogs. Israel once had a
seeing-eye dog institute, but
when the head of it died some
years ago, the country found
that it was too expensive to
maintain such an institute.
Now Israelis in need of guide
dogs must come to the U.S.
for a four-week training pe-
riod.
Mrs. Sivan said very often
hotels and doctors forego
payment from Israeli veter-
ans, or charge them only a
nominal fee. She said that
hospitals always take full
payment, but both Jewish
and non-Jewish doctors are
often very willing to charge
less. "One non-Jew said he
didn't want to take the full
fee from the state of Israel,"
she said. "He said it was a
privilege to treat an Israeli
boy."
Local Jewish organizations
also do their best to help
visiting Israelis adjust to the
U.S., said Mrs. Sivan. Women
in the U.S. working for the
welfare of Israeli soldiers,
and the Jewish War Veterans
in America have been espe-
cially helpful, she said. Also,
some Jews who own hotels in
the Catskills, including the
Concord and Grossinger's, in-
vite the veterans for week-
ends as their guests.
Bormann Dead
Dentist Argues
NEW YORK—It was re-
ported here that Dr. Reidar
Sognnaes, professor of oral
biology and anatomy at the
University of California, at
Los Angeles, reported in
London Tuesday that he has
conclusive evidence that
Martin Bormann', Hitler's
one-time right-hand man, is
dead and not hiding in Ar-
gentina.
Acknowledged as one of
the world's foremost "dental
detectives," Dr. Sognnaes
told the world congress of
the International Dental Fed-
eration that Borman commit-
ted suicide in Berlin in 1945
by biting a cyanide capsule.
The doctor, who helped es-
tablish, through dental for-
ensic means, that a charred
body found by Russians in
1945 was that of Hitler, writes
in the International Journal
of Forensic Medicine that he
based his conclusion that
Bormann is dead on his ex-
amination of a skull and den-
tal bridge uncovered in 1972
in Berlin.
genuine, negotiated progress
toward peace.
"In view of the unrelenting
flow of sophisticated Soviet
arms to Syria it is unreason-
able to expect further Israeli
withdrawals from the rela-
tively favorable defensive
positions they now hold,"
Jackson said.
The senator addressed
about 2,500 delegates attend-
ing the four-day convention
here.
Jackson reiterated his sup.
port for a Middle East set-
tlement that would leave Is-
rael with the kind of de-
fensible borders that the Is-
raelis . themselves,.. without
American forces, can main-
tain and defend.
Jackson expressed "the
gravest doubt" about the
wisdom of supplying nuclear
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
reactors to the Middle East.
"There is no way adequate
to safe-guard a 600-mega-
watt reactor against Egyp-
tian expropriation," he said.
"The mere possession of such
a quanity of plutonium would
expose the United States to
blackmail and coercion. We
would have to evaluate every
move in the Middle East in
terms of whether the prob-
able Egyptian reaction might
be the abrogation of nego-
tiated safeguards aimed at
preventing Egyptian acquisi-
tion of nuclear weapons."
Noting that the promise of
reactors to Israel and Egypt
was made by President
Nixon when he visited the
Mideast in June, Jackson
urged the Ford Administra-
tion to "at once reconsider"
this move.
