`Younger Poor
Need Help Too'
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
New York Jewish commu-
nity has an obligation to
serve "the younger poor,
many of whom adopted a
communal life style in the
sixties and roamed the
world and who are coming
home now to confront the
economic crunch and have
nowhere to turn but us,"
according to an expert on
Jewish poverty.
Anne Wolfe, social wel-
fare consultant to -the
American Jewish Commit-
tee, made that proposal at a
conference of more than 200
professional and communal
lay leaders called by the
Federation of Jewish Phi-
lanthropies to focus on the
concept of the multi-service
center as a viable approach
to the Jewish poor.
Unmarked Israel
Fruit Seen in Iran
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — It
was reported here that a
secret shipment of citrus
fruit was sent from Israel to
Iran. This year some 600,000
cases of fruit were packed
on which the familiar stamp
of "Jaffa" was missing.
The packers were curious
as to the destination of the
fruit but were told not to
ask too many questions.
Only later was it made
known that the fruit, which
bore no sign of origin, found
its way to the markets in
Iran.

African nations must learn
that they can derive greater
