Boston Jewish Unit
Extends Services

BOSTON (JTA) — A long-
range program to extend
Jewish community services
to Jewish families settling
in five Boston Suburbs has
been announced by the
Combined Jewish Philan-
thropies of Greater Boston.
CJP West, has been set up
to serve the suburbs of Na-
tick, Sudbury, Wayland,
Wellesley and Newton.
One of the reasons for the
new program was to make
CJP more visible in the sub-
urbs, adding that many peo-
ple view the CJP primarily
as a fund-raising organiza-
tion.
The new unit is seeking
the cooperation of Jewish
institutions in the suburban
communities.

U.S. Foreign Aid Hike Is OKd;
Israel to Get Added Benefits

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee has unani-
mously authorized an in-
crease in the U.S. foreign
assistance program for the
current fiscal year by 25
percent to take into account
the "transitional quarter"
between the present and
next fiscal year caused by
the government's bookkeep-
ing changes.
The practical effects of
the Committee's action late
last week is to authorize an
additional $56 million for Is-
rael and equivalent in-
creases for about 50 other
countries on the foreign aid
list.
The increase is across the
board for all programs in-
cluding military and eco-
nomic assistance. However,
the Committee also engaged
in some cutting of the eco-
nomic sector for Israel and
other countries, including
Israel's Arab neighbors.
The transitional quarter
became a problem for all
countries receiving U.S.
aid after that factor was
exposed in the budget for
the fiscal year 1977 that
begins Oct. 1. The transi-
tional quarter is for the pe-
riod July 1 through Sept.
30 and is part of the cur-
rent fiscal year that tech-
nically concludes June 30.
Israeli Ambassador Sim-
cha Dinitz urged Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger
last week for the amend-
ment because the failure to
make any allowances for the
transitional quarter was
unexpected and burden-
some.
Under the Senate com-
mittee's provisions, Israel is
to receive $1.5 billion in mil-
itary credits of which up to
one-half may be converted'
into grants by the Presi-

Oma ha Federation
to Focus on Elderly

OMAHA (JTA) — A ma-
jor effort to evaluate the
needs of the Jewish elderly
of Omaha and to develop
programs where needs are
found has been announced
by the Jewish Federation of
Omaha.
The specifics of the pro-
gram are the responsibility
of a new Federation Coordi-
nating Committee on Aging.
Mrs. Morris C. Fellman,
vice president of the federa-
tion who is chairman of the
coordinating committee,
said an important element
of the coordinating commit-
tee's program will aim at
helping elderly Jews main-
tain themselves longer in
their own homes. She said
among the possible new pro-
jects are a day care program
for the elderly and providing
a nutritional hot meal pro-
gram which "hopefully,
could be federally funded."

dent; and $725 million in
economic supporting assist-
ance which is to help Israel
meet its requirements be-
cause of its defense expendi-
tures.
The Administration
sought $750 million for
Egypt in economic support-
ing assistance but the com-
mittee reduced it by $50
million to $700 million. Jor-
dan was cut from $100 mil-
lion recommended to $67
million and Syria from $90
million to $50 million. In the
military credits, Jordan was
dropped from $100 million
to $55 million and in grant
military assistance Jordan
was reduced from $100 mil-
lion to $50 million.

SOLOMON BUSH c.1745-c.1796

Colonel in the Continental Army

olonel Solomon Bush reached the
highest rank of all Jewish officers in
the Continental Army. His first duty
in the War of Independence was
Deputy Adjutant General of the Pennsylvania
State Militia. Fighting near Brandywine, Bush
received a near fatal wound. He survived but
was captured when Philadelphia was taken by
the British. He was later freed in a prisoner
exchange and applied for rations and pay. The
Supreme Executive Committee studied his rec-
ord and cited him for a distinguished and bril-
liant career, especially during the winter of 1776
"when the service was critical and hazardous. -

C

After the war, unable to connect with a govern-
- ment job, and probably seeking medical aid for
his wound that never quite healed. Bush jour-
neyed to England where he main was able to
serve his country. The British were still smart-
ing under defeat. and were pursuing a policy
which led to the War of 1812, seizing and
searching American boats and conscripting

their sailors into the Royal Navy. At the time,
no U.S. consul or ambassador was present to
intervene, so Col. Bush took it upon himself to
act on behalf of his fellow Americans. He
reported his efforts to President Washington
whose answer contained w arm commendations
for the Colonel's successful interventions.

On his return to America, Bush applied for the
office Of Postmaster General, recently vacated
by Timothy Pickering who had been promoted
to Secretary of War. He was the first Jew
known to he considered for Cabinet rank. If he
failed to reach this office, his unhealed wound
must have played a role since it did hasten his
death, probably in 1796.
