WASHINGTON (JTA) — The House Appropriations Committee Monday voted out a foreign aid bill of $3.5 billion including $624.5 mil- lion for Israel and an almost equal amount for three of its Arab neighbors, but it killed a proposal for screen- ing out possible Communist infiltrators among emi- grants aided by U.S. funds, including Soviet Jews going to Israel. The screening proposal would have enlarged on a proviso long a part of for- eign aid legislation that committed the Interna- tional Committee on Euro- pean, Emigration in Geneva not to assist emigration of Communist sympathizers who may wish to make new homes in the Western Hem- isphere. In an executive session last week of the committee's subcommittee handling aid funds, a proposal was of- fered for having the Inter- governmental Commission for European Migration (ICEM) in Geneva, the U.N. e •4. 9) Art oplizw, a Proudly Announces The GRAND OPENING Of Their New Store: HARVARD ROW, 11 Mile & lahser Rd. * Free Israeli Ring to the first 200 People presenting this card * PASSOVER MATZO BASKETS reg. $2.80 — 1.49 * LARGE ISRAELI KIDDUSH CUP reg. $5.95 — $3.50 * ENCYCLOPEDIA of JEWISH HUMOR . reg. $12.50 — * Israeli Seder Plate reg. $6.95 — NOW $6.25 $4.95 with any purchase of $4.95 and up a FREE GOLD PLATED CHAT on Heavy 24" Chain, Gift Boxed, a $4.95 Value Spit zer's — OPEN ALL DAY SUNDAY — HEBREW BOOK AND GIFT CENTER SOUTHFIELD, MICH. 48076 21770 ELEVEN MILE RD.

Its narrative is a collection of excerpts from the Bible, Mishna, and Mid- rash, interpolated with the ritual performances: the kidush, the benedictions recited on the performance of precepts, and for food, grace after meals, and the Hallel. Gradually, stories, psalms, and songs were added. Through the generations, the Passover Haggada has been one of the most popu- lar works, perhaps the most popular, in Jewish religious literature. Many versions, have been preserved in var- ious manuscripts mostly dating from the 13th to the 15th Century, and also in fragments from the Cairo Geniza. These manuscripts originate from all countries in which Jews have lived. Since the 15th Century, the Haggada has had more than 2,700 editions, either with or without commentaries. Later editions have included as many as 200 commentar- ies. FINAL Reductions ALL REMAINING $110 to $295 Fall & Winter CLOTHING 39 9 69 9 99 9 949 979 9 139 •Cosh & Carry Only!
