Rabin, Peres at Odds Over Jordanian Troop Build-Up
TEL AVIV, (JTA) —
Premier Yitzhak Rabin ap-
pears to be at odds with
Defense Minister Shimon
Peres over the emphasis the
latter has placed on the
massing of Jordanian troops
and armor near Israel's
eastern borders.
While the fact of the Jor-
danian military build-up,
the first of its kind since
1970, is not in doubt, there
are differences of opinion
within the government over
whether the matter should
have been given the promin-
'ence it was by Peres when
he toured Jordan Valley set-
tlements last week.
Rabin and Foreign Minis-
ter Yigal Allon are said to
have preferred that the mat-
ter be played down both for
diplomatic reasons and to
avoid increasing tension in
Israel.
Peres linked the build-
up to the recent announce-
ment of "cooperation" be-
Aliya Director
Under Attack
TEL AVIV (ZINS) —
General Uzzi Narkiss, direc-
tor of the Aliya and Absorp-
tion Department of the Jew-
ish Agency, is caught in a
bitter crossfire of criticism
over a wide range of
charges, chief among them
the manner in which he is
alleged to have chosen his
emissaries for service
abroad.
Narkiss is accused of se-
lecting his overseas staff on
the basis of personal friend-
ship rather than on their
qualifications for the job.
Narkiss is also under at-
tack by associates in his
own department, who
concede that he introduced
some excellent reforms
when he first took over but
that these achievements
were later dissipated in his
arrogant behavior and by
his constant travels abroad.
Arabs, Jews Start
Anti-War Group
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
group of Arab and Jewish
mothers met in Haifa to
launch a new organization
dedicated to abolishing war.
The initiator of the group
which calls itself "Bridge to
Peace," is Mrs. Ruth Liss of
Haifa, whose son was killed
in the Yom Kippur War.
She has corresponded on
the subject of mothers for
peace with Mrs. Jihan
Sadat, wife of President An-
war Sadat of Egypt.
Massachusetts U.
Has Kosher Meals
AMHERST, Mass. (JTA)
— The Hillel Foundation,
with the help of the Massa-
chusetts University Food
Services, has created the
first kosher meal program
at the university.
The idea was started by
Rabbi Saul Perlmutter, the
Hillel director. He promoted
the program on the premise
that some Jewish students
wanted to keep kosher and
that potential students did
not come to the university
for lack of such facilities.
tween Amman and Da-
mascus but reported no
evidence that Syrian
forces have entered Jor-
dan—a move the Jordani-
ans would not be likely to
welcome.
Rabin reportedly believes
that Israel's adversaries,
including Egypt and Jordan,
are interested in heighten-
ing tension in the Middle
East before President An-
war Sadat's meeting with
President Ford in Salzburg
June 1 2, thereby hoping to
-
gain a political advantage.
But Israeli security forces
were most active last week
along the Labanese frontier
in the north. Extensive pre-
cautionary measures were
taken in Upper Galilee to
prevent possible terrorist
assaults on the occasion of
the 27th anniversary of Is-
rael's independence and the
Shavuot holiday that fol-
lowed.
Meanwhile, Jordan was
viewed here as a military
threat to Israel in the con-
text of an all-out war with
both Egypt and Syria in-
volved. But it was felt that
Jordan would be unlikely
to launch hostilities alone,
and would be unlikely, too,
to join a war initiated by
Syria so long as Egypt did
not join it.

Airlines Strike
1 Day in Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
24-hour strike by 3,000
ground employes of El Al
and several hundred em-
ployes of 15 foreign airlines
serving Israel was staged
May 13 to protest the gov-
ernment's travel tax.
Only Swissair, staffed
entirely by Swiss nationals,
refused to join the strike
and maintained its normal
flight schedules.
The airline employes who
formed a new Aviation
Workers Union, defied no-
strike orders issued by a Tel
Aviv District Labor Court.
The immediate cause of
the strike is the travel tax
the government has decided
to levy on free tickets
granted airline employes.
But the strikers say they
are opposed to the idea of
travel taxes in principle
which, they say, no other
Western nation has.
Gulf Oil Probed
for Arab Bribes
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Congressional investigators
probing bribes and other
payoffs abroad by compa-
nies based in the United
States expect Gulf Oil Corp.
chairman Bob R. Dorsey to
supply more details on the
company's secret contribu-
tions to an Arab fund used
to propagandize Americans.
Dorsey testified before
the Senate subcommittee on
multinational corporations
which is making the investi-
gation.
Dorsey, who also admit-
ted last week to having
made illegal political dona-
tions in Korea and Bolivia,
said his company secretly
helped finance an Arab pub-
lic relations campaign in the
U.S.
Religious Leaders
to Meet in Italy
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
meeting of representatives
from the world's major
faith groups will take place
next week in Bellagio, Italy.
The meeting will develop
guidelines and programs for
religious groups to assist in
dealing with the interna-
tional food crisis, according
to the Synagogue Council of
America.
Idealists
There are only three
idealists: God, mothers,
poets. They do not look for
the ideal in the realm of per-
fection. They find it in im-
perfection.

PENSION
PLAN?
If you're not covered by an employer-sponsored
retirement plan, we've got one that could save
you a lot of money . . . and provide a tax shelter.
It's called an Individual Retirement
Account and it's been made possible
under a new federal law that allows
wage and salary earners to set aside up
to $1,500 or 15% of your annual wages
(whichever is less) of tax-free income
each year for their retirement.
The beautiful thing about a Liberty
State Bank & Trust Individual Retire-
ment Account is that it lets you save
tax-free income and also earn tax-free
interest on it. In fact, you don't pay any
income tax at all until you retire and
begin to withdraw the savings, and by
then you'll probably be in a considera-
bly lower tax bracket.
Liberty State Bank & Trust has sev-
eral savings plans to assist you in build-
ing your Individual Retirement Account.
For example, you could begin your IRA
by opening a Daily Interest Account for
as little as $25. Later, when you have
accumulated $1,000 or more, you could
transfer your funds to a long-term cer-
tificate account where you will earn
7 1/4% or 7 1/2% on your savings.
To find out more about how you ,
can provide yourself a tax shelter and
build a substantial personal retirement
fund in the process, stop in at any Lib-
erty State Bank & Trust Office. We'll be
happy to help put you on Easy Street.
