Services Lacking
for Israel Aged
NEW YORK - Of the
250,000 men and women
over 65 in Israel, 85 percent
are in good health and able
to take care of themselves.
However, for the remaining
15 percent who are not so
fortunate: the weak, the
sick, the solitary and the
destitute, there is a serious
shortage of services.
This was revealed in a
report on the needs of the
aged in Israel, released in
Tel Aviv by the Association
for the Planning and Devel-
opment of Services for the
Aged. The association,
founded in 1969 by the Joint
Distribution Committee,
fosters the creation of local
associations for the aged for
building homes where there
are none, and developing
community services for the
elderly who do not need to
or do not wish to enter
homes for the aged.
The report, entitled
"Guidelines for Sevices
Needed for the Aged
1975-1980," disclosed a
shortage of 3,000 accommo-
dations in Israel's old-age
homes for those who need
nursing care, a shortage of
2,300 accommodations in
geriatric hospital wards for
those who need medical
care, and a nation-wide
shortage of a wide variety of
services that would make it
unnecessary for many of the
elderly people to seek ad-
mission to old age homes.

delegates learned at the
opening of the 10th annual
congress of the Israel Asso-
ciation for Information
Processing (ILA) at Biny-
anei Ha'ooma here.
ILA executive chairman
Doi- Hevyon told the dele-
gates that the coming step
for Israeli computers would
be to facilitate the exchange
of information between var-
ious computers.
He noted the level of Is-
raeli computer technology is
presently eight times that of
Latin America, Asia and
Africa.
TOKYO (ZINS) - Plans
are being prepared by a Jap-
anese firm to begin work on
deepening the Suez Canal in
order to accommodate
250,000-ton supertankers.
The actual dredging is ex-
pected to begin in January.

Switzerland as an exile.
His 1862 anti-Semitic
pamphlet "Der Judenspie-
gel" ("Jews' Mirror") was
followed by the influential
"The Victory of Judaism
over Germandom, Consid-
ered from a Non-Religious
Point of View," reaching its
12th edition in 1879.
The religious issue was
replaced by racism, the
words Jews and Judaism by
"Semite" and "Semitism"
which, with the prefix
"anti," were to gain general
currency. He epitomized the
current slogans of Jewish
economic and cultural domi-
nation.
Having first brought
racist ideas to a wide audi-
ence, Marr introduced in

ite" into the political vo-
cabulary by founding the
League of Anti-Semites
(Antisemiten-Liga), which
organized lectures and
published a short-lived
monthly.
The "league" failed as an
organization, but it was his-
torically important for it
was the first effort to create
a popular political move-
ment based on anti-Semi-
tism.
His later anti-Semitic
pamphlets were poorly re-
ceived and he retired from
political agitation. Marr ex-
erted a decisive influence
upon T. Fritsch and other
anti-Semites. There is no
proof for the often repeated
assertion that he was of
Jewish origin.
