In contrast to the upper

decade, or the Lower East
Side, whose Jewish commu-

creasing.
"This is one of the few
growing neighborhoods of
Jewish life left in the city,"
said Rabbi David B. Ka-
hane, who has been spirit-
ual leader of the Conserva-
tive synagogue for 22 years.

Israel Offers Its Research to Arabs
UNITED
NATIONS
(JTA) — Israel offered con-
crete proposals to share the
benefits of its research in
agriculture, irrigation and
solar energy with its Arab
neighbors _"without strings
attached and without pre-
judice to an ultimate solu-
tion of the political prob-
lems which beset the area."
The proposals were con-
tained in the maiden speech
of Israel's new Ambassador
to the United Nations,
Chiam Herzog, delivered
Monday at the ongoing Sev- _ dle East. He mentioned

Eban Scores PLO
at IPU Parley
LONDON (JTA) — For-
mer Foreign Minister Abba
Eban declared at the Inter-
Parliamentary Union (IPU)
conference here that "Israel
is not going to disappear or
apologize for its sovereign
existence."
The Israeli diplomat's
speech was a resounding
reply to Palestine Libera-
tion Organization spokes-
man Khaled el Hassan who
demanded at the same
forum that "the Zionist
State" give way to "the crea-
tion of a democratic secular
state" of Palestine "wherein
the Jews would have full
rights."
The Israeli delegation left
the hall when the PLO rep-
resentative spoke and the
United States delegation
was absent. Eban deplored
the PLO's presence, at the
invitation of the IPU, as
another indication of the
decline in parliamentary
democracy.
Earlier, Israel withdrew
its request to the IPU to
cancel the invitation to the
PLO to send observers to
the conference, while mak-
ing it clear that it had not
dropped its opposition to a
PLO participation.
In his speech, Eban urged
the establishment of a per-
manent peace in the Middle
East of the kind that exists
between former enemies,
such as Germany, France
and America, the Soviet
Union and Japan.
No one is as poor as the
ignoramus.
