in Palestine" who "must take their rightful place at the
(Geneva) conference."
Observers noted the moderate tone toward Israel taken
by the Soviet foreign minister. In sharp contrast to his
previous anti-Israel_ and anti-Zionist diatribes at the UN.
But Gromyko, nevertheless, took some swipes at the Israelis.
He reiterated Soviet demands that Israel withdraw from all
the Arab lands seized in 1967. He contended that Israel
regards the disengagement accords with Syria and Egypt
"as a maneuver intended to freeze the situation" and that
Israel intends to hold on to the Arab territories.
He warned that unless the "legitimate national rights
of the Arab people of Palestine" are secured "there can
be no stable peace in the Middle East." He added that
"it takes no prophet to foresee a new flare-up of hostilities
if a Middle East settlement should be reduced to half
measures no matter how well advertised."
Gromyko said that any progress toward a Middle East
settlement "will create prerequisites for the development
of relations between the Soviet Union and all the states of
the Middle East, including Israel."

Shepherd Studies to Be MD;
Professor United With Family
BEERSHEBA—Students of
Ben-Gurion University of the
Negev sometimes do not rec-
ognize a young Beduin shep-
herd tending his father's
flock as their classmate.
But beneath the tradition-
al garb of the young shep-
herd in Beduin dress is an
educated professional speak-
ing fluent college Hebrew,
Ibrahim Amitrat.
In 1973 he successfully
completed a nursing course
in Hedera. His work as a
nurse among the nomadic
Beduin of the Negev encour-
aged him to continue his stu-
dies to become a doctor.
Amitrat is studying mathe-
matics, physics, chemistry
and English in the prepara-
tory courses offered at Ben-
Gurion University of the Ne-
gev. He hopes to pass the en-
trance exams to the medical
school next year. The medi-
cal school of the University
is unique in that pre-medical
training is not a prerequisite
for its candidates who are
chosen directly
_ _ from high
ool.
other events at the uni-
versity, the long-awaited re-
union of Dr. Michael Epple-
man with his wife and daugh-
who were forcible separ-
from him by Russian
authorities for four years,
has been celebrated.
Dr. Eppleman, of the
mathematics department of
the university, came to Israel
in 1970, and began a stubborn
struggle to get his family re-
leased.
Dr. Eppleman said, "The
exit of my wife and daugh-
ter. is proof that only a stub-
born and continuous effort
with the help of world public
opinion will bring our Rus-
sian brothers to Israel. The
struggle for rescuing Rus-
sian Jewry should continue
without stop."

Also at the university, 120
students have been sworn in-
to service in the Beersheba
Civil Guard and several hun 7
dreds more are expected to
volunteer in the near future.
As recommended by the stu-
dent council, the students
guard the university and
neighboring commercial and
residential areas.
Ernst Achenbach
Resignation May
Bring War Trials
BONN (JTA)—West Ger-
man Free Democrat deputy
Ernest Achenbach, a leading
figure in blocking German
court prosecution of French-
convicted Nazis, resigned
Sept. 18 from his key posi-
tion in the Foreign Affairs
Committee in the Bundestag.
This committee is respon-
sible for the eventual ap-
proval of the 1971 Franco-
German treaty making sucll
Nazi convictions possible in
West Germany.
A campaign to oust Achen-
bach from the committee
because he was alleged to
have blocked the treaty's
ratification and because he
called for an amnesty for all
Nazi criminals was sparked
in July by the trial in
Cologne of Beate Klarsfeld
for attempting • to kidnap
former Paris Gestapo chief,
Kurt Lischka.
Achenbach was closely
connected in war-time Paris
with Lischka, who was sen-
tenced to death in France in
absentia after the war for
his part in deporting French
Jews to concentration camps.
Lischka would be one of a
number of Nazi criminals
who could , be re-tried in
West Germany when the
treaty is ratified.
