40—Friday, January 24, 1975 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Israel Tourism Ministry Seeks Increase of Tourists For 1975 Israel Minister of Tourism Moshe Kol said here MondAy that the biggest problem his ministry faces is "enlarging tourism." Speaking at a press con- ference at the Shiawassee Hotel, Kol said one way this problem will be solved is by encouraging non-Jewish pil- grims to visit Israel during 1975, which was declared a holy year by the Pope. "Despite the terrorism, Christian pilgrims continued to come to Israel," Kol said. "Last Christmas the largest number ever of Christian pilgrims visited I s r a e 1." About 45 percent of all tour- ists to Israel are non-Jews. Kol, who had an audience with the Pope to discuss trav- el to the two holy cities, Rome and Jerusalem, said that Israel and Italy formed an' agreement to "encourage ARRY FREEDMAN rchestra and Entertainment! 641 2367 IP( FACIAL HAIR PERMANENTLY -REMOVED .

The agreement, made by Alitalia (Italian) Airlines and Israel's El Al Airlines, of- fers a roundtrip package at a reduced price for tourists who visit the two cities. Kol said that despite the steady rate of tourism by non-Jews from the U.S., the biggest decline in tourism worldwide was from the U.S. — 10 percent. Europe showed a small decline in tourism to Israel, while Canada and South Africa showed increas- es. In Detroit to address the Prime Minister's Club for State of Israel Bonds, Kol also spoke to John Cardinal Dearden in an effort to en- courage non-Jewsish tourism. Kol is in the U.S. for 10 days to address various Israel Bond events. Twenty Bond subscriptions were received at the Prime Minister's Club dinner. In New York last week Kol charged the New York Board of Rabbis with specific re- sponsibility for encouraging Jewish pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The minister noted that the decrease in the U.S. traffic to Israel seemed to be pri- marily among the Jewish market. Noting that only 15- 20 per cent of American Jews have thus far visited Israel, he called upon the rabbis to "work hard in 1975 as it will be a difficult year from a number of standpoints." It is not external rites that win forgiveness, but inward sincerity.—Talmud.

Rott Orchestra ' 255-1599 every on die Air Rabbi Jonathan Plaut of Temple Beth El, Windsor, is capturing a good percentage of the late Sunday night view- ing audience there with his program, "Religious Scope." Rabbi at Beth El since 1970, Rabbi Plaut has con- ducted the program, aired 11:15 p.m. Sundays on Chan- nel 9 (CKLW-TV), for about three years. He also has an information pr o g r a m on CKWW Radio at 9:05 a.m. Sundays. The son of the noted Rabbi Gunther Plaut of Toronto, the younger Rabbi Plaut is cap- turing about 12 percent of the viewing audience, according to Canada's Bureau of Broad- cast Measurement Rating. He gets more viewers in Windsor at that time than Detroit's news programs and the Lou Gordon Show, the Windsor Star reported. What is the reaction to his show? "I would have been un- happy if the audience had been very low, but the re- sponse has been far better than I expected. I get a very good feedback from the com- munity and the station has received very few anti- Semitic comments," he said. Rabbi Plaut said he'd like to expand in broadcasting and is working on a history of Windsor Jews. W. German Leader Says Special Re'ations With Israel 'Obsolete' BONN (JTA)—The Secret- ary General of the Free Democratic Party believes that West Germany's "spec- ial relationship" with Israel 'las become obsolete and should be replaced by a re- lationship based on the dem- ocratic institutions the two countries hold in common. Bangemann also said that West Germany "should take a more realistic attitude to- ward the Palestine Libera- tion Organization." He said that while Israel was justified in rejecting any international recognition of the PLO as long as Yasir Arafat refuses to recognize Israel, "a word of clarifica- tion from Arafat" on this subject would ensure the PLO of observer status at the planned European-Arab dialogue on future relations with Israel. Regarding West Germany's special relationship with the Jewish state, stemming from the Nazi past, Bangemann said that "a moral obligation to maintain a special rela- tionship based on the past" was "inadequate and frag- ile." He said efforts should be made to put German-Israeli policy on the basis of what Romania Taxes Jewish Emigrants NEW YORK (ZINS) — Ro- mania receives $5,000 for every exit permit given to Jewish emigres, it was learn- ed here. The immigration flow from 'Romania to Israel is approximately 2,000 yearly. Romania is the only com- munist country with which Israel has full diplomatic re- lations.

African Players NEW YORK — India has barred Israel and South Afri- ca from attending a major international table-ten- nis tournament next month in Calcutta. The move accompanies In- dia's decision to allow the Palestine Liberation Organi- zation to open an office in New Delhi. Roy Evans, president of the Table Tennis Federation, protested the action, but said the tournament would be held because it was too late to change the site. India has no relations with South Africa but maintains trade links with Israel. A foreign ministry spokesman said that the move was "in accordance with the policy of the government." The Indian press, which has generally applauded the gov- ernment's action on the PLO, disapproved of the move against Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli sports authorities have called on the Table Tennis Federation to take steps to assure Israel's participation. Israel pointed out that the Indian decision violated the international sports 'agreement whereby a country is allowed to host an event only if 'all participants are admitted. the two countries had in com• mon, such as similar demo cratic constitutions and sup! port for Israel's right to exist. The maintenance of spec-, ial relations was "correct and reasonable" in the past but in the future this could become merely 'a "hollow phrase," Bangemann said.
