Zionist Leader Urges U.S.,
Israel to Join for Peace Effort

NEW YORK (JTA) -
Calling for continued Amer-
ican support of Israel, Mrs.
Faye Schenk, president of
the American Zionist Feder-
ation, urged the U.S. "to
work together with Israel
for peace and not travel a
separate road."
Addressing the AZF na-
tional board, she stated, "If
peace is to be achieved in the
Middle East, the U.S. and
Israel have to walk the same
path. Anything else could
tragically lead to hostilities
in the Middle East."

Economic Survey
Ranks Israel 26th

NEW YORK (ZINS) -
The state of Israel is num-
ber 26 in a survey covering
economic conditions in 43
countries throughout the
world.
The author of the study,
Denver University Prof. of
Business Administration
P.T. Honor; sought to ana-
lyze the chances of business
success or failure in 43 dif-
ferent countries based on a
scientific evaluation trans-
lated into "points." The
higher the number of
points, the more favorable
the chances for success.
Heading the list is Switz-
erland with 77.5 points, fol-
lowed by Canada and West
Germany with 74.3 points
each. Holland is next with
72.1 points, followed by the
United States with 72.8
points.
Israel is listed belo- w such
countries as Formosa which
received 59.1 points and
Malaysia which was
awarded 62.1 points. Israel's
lower rating is attributed,
in part, to her "cumbersome
bureaucracy, political insta-
bility, and the lack of a
sound currency and favora-
ble balance of trade."

Knesset Joke No
Laughing Matter

JERUSALEM (ZINS) -
The joke circulating among
Knesset members reflects
how they feel about the
chances of a final peace set-
tlement with the Arabs.
As it , is told, Brezhnev,
Ford and Rabin come before
the Almighty to learn what
the future holds in store.
The Soviet leader asks,
"Tell me, Master of the
Universe, when will the So-
viet Union finally grow
enough food to feed its peo-
ple?" And the answer is
given, "In 40 years." Upon
hearing this Brezhnev tear-
fully laments, "I see that
this cannot happen in my
lifetime."
Ford wants to know,
"When will America finally
be free of crime in the
streets and drug addiction?"
And the answer is, "In 70
years." The President is re-
duced to tears, crying, "I
will not live to see that day."
When it is Rabin's turn he
asks, "When will peace fin-
ally come to Israel and her
Arab neighbors?" At this
point the Almighty Himself
is brought to tears and says,
"I will not live to see that
day."

Mrs. Schenk said she
could not overlook the
speech by U.S. Ambassador
William Scranton in the UN
Security Council last week
because of its "exaggera-
tions and harshness." That
type of speech "only creates
discord," she noted.
She pointed out that
"Israel always has said it
was prepared to negotiate
with the Arabs. To attack
Israel in advance at such a
tense moment, and in a
world body which has
cruelly challenged Israel
and the Jewish people was
most inopportune and in-
sensitive."
Continuing, Mrs. Schenk
declared: "If there is a move-
ment toward peace, the
Arab states also have to
make concessions and not
just Israel. We cannot be-
lieve that the American gov-
ernment advocates a return
to the pre-1967 Arab control
of Jerusalem where all signs
of Jewish worship were sys-
tematically destroyed and
desecrated."

Tires Form First
Artificial Reef

HAIFA - About 1,000
concrete-weighted tires
were lowered to the sea bed
off Shikmona at the south-
ern end of town, to form the
first artificial reef in the
Mediterranean.
The reef will fill a double
purpose - attract fish co-
lonies for easy fishing and
serve as a concrete waste
disposal.
During the year divers
will check the reef. If found
to be serving its double pur-
pose, more tires will be low-
ered into the sea along the
entire coast.
