constituent groups in their
activities, initiate coopera-
tive programming such as
a coffee house, publish a
regular calendar of all activ-
ities available in the com-
munity and provide a cal-
endar clearing service."
The subcommittee also
suggested, upon the recom-
mendation of the young ad-
ult council, that a full-time
professional supervised by
the Jewish Center be pro-
vided as a staff or resource
person "to encourage and in-
itiate programming, act as a
consultant to existing Jew-
ish singles groups" and to
take care of the time-con-
suming clerical tasks now
performed by members of
the young adult council, all
of-whom hold full-time jobs
and volunteer their services
to perform those duties.
The final recommenda-
tion was that the organiza-
tions contributing funds for
the staff person set up a se-
lection committee to find
someone qualified for that
office.
According to Mrs. Nai-
mark, the purpose of the
meeting was not only to
provide recommendations,
but to inform the total
community of "the ur-
gency" of the singles'
needs.
The Feinberg study
pointed out some major
trends. First, within the
constituent young adult
groups: the Junior Division
of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration, the Bayit, the Is-
raeli Student Organization,
Temple Beth El Singles,
Bnai Moshe Singles, Series
of Encounters of the Jewish
Center, the Jewish Center
Young Adult program and
New Dimension Singles of
Cong. Beth Abraham-Hillel,
there was a wealth of social
events and a significantly
fewer number of cultural
activities. Feinberg sug-
gested that future program-
ming be balanced between
the social and cultural "in
order that we may produce
a young adult single who is
aware of his Judaism, proud
of his ancient heritage, and,
at the same time, is able to
cope with a rapidly chang-
ing society."
Another trend was that
some rabbis stated the syn-
agogue as an avenue for so-
cial events should be
avoided. Many of the rabbis
interviewed were found to
be sensitive and sympa-
thetic to the needs of the
singles and even offered pro-
gram suggestions.
.
They did agree that a
"dignified, sophisticated,
attractive and multi-func-
tional meeting place" be
available for the singles to
meet their co-religionists,
but some said the syn-
agogue was not the place.
A third significant trend
came out of the survey of
the more than 300 singles.
Feinberg found that there
was a high degree of desire
for sports activities.
At the same time, he
found great interest in
events that are Jewish cul-
ture oriented, such as lec-
Ford-Senate Fight Over Secrets
May Slow Down Sinai Agreement

should be publicly dis-
closed after that, commit-
tees in both chambers have
continued to hold hear-
ings.
Both the Senate and the
House must agree to a joint
resolution approving the
American presence in the
Sinai.
There were expectations
that Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger would
break off his consultations
with foreign ministers at
the United Nations General
Assembly session in New
York to testify further on
the American commitments
to Israel and Egypt. The
Senate committee also held
a public hearing Thursday
with opponents of the Sinai
accord — about: a half-dozen
members of the Arab Amer-
ican associations and about
as many American Jewish
opponents. Sen James
Abourezk (D-SD) is listed as
the first witness. Depart-
ment of Defense specialists
are to testify before the
House International Rela-
tions Committee on early
warning systems that will
be used in the Sinai.
The Egyptian Ambassa-
dor Ashraf Ghorbal, testi-
fied at the House meeting
last week for about 90 min-
utes behind closed doors.
Congressmen reportedly
were seeking more informa-
tion on Egyptian-American
understandings stemming
from the accord, particu-
larly U.S. military assist-
ance to Cairo reportedly fa-
vored by the Administration
once the Israeli withdrawal
is completed.
Ghorbal's appearance was
highly unusual. Congres-
sional observers said they
could not remember a pre-
vious occasion when a for-
eign ambassador appeared
before a committee of Con-
gress. The committee heard
Israel's views from Defense
Minister Shimon Peres, but
at an informal breakfast
meeting.
Before returning to Is-
rael last week, Peres met
with the Conference of
Presidents of Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organiza-
tions, and spoke at an Is-
rael Bond reception in
New York which raised
$2.3 million.
Peres said that the second
Sinai interim accord did not
mean that the dangers
of the Middle East situation
were over but did mean that
there was a new ray of hope.
Peres added that most of
Israel's U.S. military aid
request would be spent in
the U.S. on equipment.
He also said that in the
past year alone there had
been a 23 percent increase in
the prices of American mili-
tary products and that the
military equipment Israel
needs had become so much
more sophisticated that
while the first planes Israel
obtained from the U.S. —
the Skyhawks — cost about
$1 million each, the price of
the F-15 which Israel hopes
to acquire, is about $25 mil-
lion each.
Schlesinger Says Missile Sale to Israel Threat to M.E. Peace
PARIS (JTA) — Defense
Secretary James Schlesin-
ger said here Wednesday
that the sale of "Pershing"
missiles to Israel under cur-
rent conditions would
threaten the stability of the
Middle East.
Schlesinger said that such
a sale would moreover affect
American positions in Eu-
rope where there are 250
"Pershings" for the Ameri-
can forces.
The Defense Secretary,
who was addressing a press
conference after a meeting
with French President Val-
ery Giscard D'Estaing, said
that America has stopped
producing the Pershing and
"any subtraction from our
stocks would affect our posi-
tion in Europe."
Meanwhile, Secretary of
State 'Henry A. Kissinger
said that the U.S. would
"keep in mind" Egypt's
vociferous objections when
"studying" Israel's re-
quest for long-range sur-
face-to-surface Pershing
missiles.
He also indicated for the
first time that the arms list
submitted by Israel last
year which included the
Pershings was part of a
10-year program which the
U.S. had agreed only to
"study."
The Secretary also dis-
closed that the U.S. has dis-
cussed a ceiling on weapons
supplies to Israel and the
Arab countries with the
Soviet Union but the latter
insisted on a prior agree-
ment that Israel withdraw
from all occupied Arab ter-
ritories.
Ron Nessen, White House
press secretary, said last
week, that the U.S. will con-
sider a request from Egypt
for military equipment. But
Nessen said the U.S. had not
made a commitment to sup-
ply Egypt with arms as part
of the second Sinai accord,
only to "give consideration"
to any Egyptian request.
President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt is scheduled to visit
the U.S. late in October.
Meanwhile, in Washing-
ton, Rep. Les Aspin
(D-Wisc.) said that Israel
was in no way involved in
alleged wrong-doing in the
sales of military equip-
ment by American corpo-
rations to Middle Eastern
countries.
Aspin issued a statement,
based on Pentagon docu-
ments, that American com-
panies have paid $18.7 mil-
lion to middlemen in four
Middle Eastern countries in
connection with weapons
deals in the past two years.
Orthodox Protest Women Drivers
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Committee for the Sanctity
of Israel, a group of Ortho-
dox Jews, warned the Egged
bus cooperative that it
would blockade streets to
religious suburbs and sec-
tions of Tel Aviv and Jerusa-
lem to prevent entry of
buses driven by women and
would seek legal permission
to operate its own buses dri-
ven by men.
Their warning was issued
following the bus coopera-
tive's announcement that it
would consider training
women to replace men driv-
ers during emergencies.
The committee said that
having women drivers of
buses would violate reli-
gious law and tradition in
that women are not permit-
ted to be in charge of public
vehicles carrying men.
The countries he named
were Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
Jordan and Israel.
Regarding Israel, Aspin
cited a reported payment
of $300,000 by the Ray-
theon Corp. to Middlesex
International in connec-
tion with the sale of mis-
siles to Israel.
He said that Middlesex
was a wholly-owned subsi-
diary of Raytheon, whose
headquarters are in Lexing-
ton, Mass., and that the
$300,000 was an internal
transfer, a corporate trans-
fer of funds, presumably for
certain services the subsidi-
ary performed for the par-
ent company as part of its
sales program to Israel.
He said that he found ab-
solutely nothing improper
or wrong in these circumst-
ances and that the Israel
case was very different from
the others.
The Wisconsin lawmaker
noted that the payments
associated with sales to
some Arab countries ran
into many millions of dol-
lars and raised serious ques-
tions that either agents re-
ceived excessive fees or the
money was illegally di-
verted.
Jewish social events in
and around Detroit."
tures on the Middle East sit-
uation and Israel study
trips. Many voiced a desire
for a greater frequency of
large dances, since many
found singles' bars distaste-
ful or unsatisfactory as
meeting places.
They were found to be
"degrading, debasing or
dehumanizing," although
many admitted they went to
singles bars as a last resort.
The MJYAC currently
publishes a monthly news-
letter (bi-monthly in sum-
mer) which lists activities of
its constituent groups, per-
sons to call from the various
organizations for member-
ship information, and a cal-
endar of cultural activities__
in Detroit including sym-
phonies, concerts, plays,
operas and the like. Profes-
sionally produced, the news-
letter now reaches an esti-
mated one-fourth of the
single community or 1,000
persons.
Meanwhile, Feinberg
found that there was "a
significant desire by those
interviewed to receive a
newsletter on a regular
basis, listing the various
