Road Deaths Drop
=$
Good Thru
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Road deaths in Israel were
down 10 percent last year,
mainly because. of the law
requiring drivers to wear
seat belts, Transport Minis-
ter Gad Yaacobi reported.
that was to cause casual-
ties a million times the
number of 36 men de-
voured by nature at Lake-
hurst, N.J. on May 6, 1937.
The book by Michael M.
Mooney and the scenario
extend the factual account
of the blow-up into the spec-
ulative sphere of sabotage
though there are no records
of a bomb plot.
It is dubious that there
was any underground
against the Hitler regime in
Germany, especially in
those earlier days when the
citizenry identified com-
pletely with aims and
achievements of the Nazis.
`Civil War Caused by Palestinians'
TUNIS (ZINS) — The
harried government of Le-

JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
A report filed by Jewish
Agency Comptroller Ben-
sion Meiri sharply criticizes
the Organization Depart-
ment of World Zionist Or-
ganization headed by Avra-
ham Shenker.
The report covering the
last two years charges that
the department had a
budget of one million
pounds expended in 29 Zion-
ist federations abroad; and
that 21 of these recipients
have furnished no financial
reports on how the money
was spent.
The .report also criticizes
the choice of emissaries sent
by the Youth and Hehalutz
Department, many of whom
are not fluent in the lan-
guage of the country to
which they are sent.

CHICAGO — Newsweek
reports that Moscow has
begun a new program to im-
prove the military skills of
the Palestine Liberation
Organization, and Red
Army instructors have al-
ready started . drilling PLO
trainees at a camp in the
Crimea.
The course will run two
years, and the early arriv-
als, estimated at 50 or '60,
will eventually be built up to
company or possibly battal-
ion strength. The camp was

Israel Is Seeking
Foreign Students
JERUSALEM — Israel's
seven academic institutions,
in which between 50,000 and
60,000 students are enrolled,
could admit another 20,000
students from overseas to
help avert the financial
crises they face, according
to Eliezer Rafaeli, chairman
of the Committee of Heads
of Institutions of Higher
Education.
The Jerusalem Post re-
ported that Rafaeli, who is
president of Haifa Univer-
sity, said that many of
America's half-million Jew-
ish university students
could be persuaded to come
to Israel, expecially for
summer programs.
