troops clashed with Le-
banese-based gunners for
the third time in less than a
week near the northern bor-
der settlement of Bar Am,
the military command re-
ported. No casualties were
reported.
Several mortar rounds

The Israelis returned fire.
The head of Southfield's
Bicentennial Commission
has resigned, apparently in
a dispute between the City
Council and Mayor Donald
Fracassi over the power of
appointments to the city's
Bicentennial Commission.
Mrs. Vicki Goldbaum sub-
mitted her resignation to
Fracassi after the Council
voted last week to make Bi-
centennial Commission ap-
pointments subject to Coun-
cil approval, rather than the
Mayor's approval.

ROME Pope Paul VI
appealed to Israel Monday
to "recognize the rights and
legitimate aspirations" of
the Palestinians, during his
Christmas address at the
Vatican.
The pope's statement fol-
lowed by three weeks his
strong condemnation of Is-
rael's air raids on terrorist
bases in Lebanon. During
his Christmas message the
pope also mentioned last
weekend's terrorism in
Vienna when several per-

WASHINGTON — A bill
authorizing the government
to deport or exclude aliens
proved to have engaged in
Nazi war crimes has been
introduced by Rep. Eliza-
beth Holtzman.
The Brooklyn Democrat,
citing the lack of any immi-
gration law specifically bar-
ring such persons from the
United States, said that
while the government ex-
cluded "everyone from poly-
gamists to marijuana users,
from prostitutes to anarch-
ists, Martin Bormann could
enter this country freely."
The bill would permit the
exclusion or deportation of
anyone who, under Nazi in-
fluence, took part in "the
persecution of any person
on account of such person's
religion, race or national
origin."
War criminals who en-
tered the United States
under the Displaced Per-
sons Act by making false
assertions of innocence are
liable to deportation. How-
ever, the act expired in
1957 and does not apply to
those who immigrated
since then, according to
Miss Holtzman, who is a
member of the House ,Im-

"Bloodshed," Cynthia Oz-
ick's short story contribu-
tion to the January issue of
Esquire magazine, is an in-
terestingly philosophical
fictional piece about a non-
traditional Jew's conception
of hasidim and concentra-
tion camp survivors.
The title story of
"Bloodshed and Three Nov-
ellas" to be published by
Knopf in the spring,
"Bloodshed" focuses on
Jules Bleilip who believes
that hasidim and concentra-
tion camp survivors are oth-
er-worldly nonmortals who
can perform miracles and
mystical feats.
His images are destroyed
during a visit to a Hasidic
town in New York where he
participates in the evening
service of the hasidim. It is
the minyan's rebbe, maimed
by Buchenwald experiments
on humans, who senses the
intruder Bleilip's suspicions
and sets him straight.
The story contains a
touch of mysticism and a
moral question too. It is
not entertaining by any
means, but it is a story
which urges the reader to

British Mandate
NEW YORK — (ZINS) —
Experts in the American
army are convinced that Is-
rael equipped its warplanes
to carry atomic warheads,
according to Time maga-
zine.
The magazine quoted
Prof. Robert Tocker, who
urged Israel to build nuclear
weapons as a deterrent to
further warfare. Tocker
concedes that the Arab
states would in all probabil-
ity follow suit.
He contends, however,
that far from increasing the
risks of war, a nuclear bal-
ance of terror in the Middle
East represents the only
feasible prospect of a peace-
ful resolution of the Arab-
Israeli conflict.
