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. Hallelujah!
