Rabbi Urges that Israel Send
Religious-Oriented Emissaries

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Rabbi Walter S. Wurz-
burger, president of the
Rabbinical Council of
America, charged that
Israel does not select the
most suitable individuals to
send abroad to promote
aliya.
Wurzburger said Israel
should make sure that the
people sent overseas to en-
courage aliya should be
more sensitive to religion.
"After all," said Wurz-
burger, "the main potential
for aliya among American
Jewry is that of religious
Jews."
Similarly, Wurzburger
urged a larger role for
religion in a wider spectrum
of life in Israel itself, to
make it not only a State for
the Jews, but in essence a
"Jewish State."
Wurzburger said that
his organization would

embark on an intensive
program intended to
strengthen the ties
between Israel and the
diaspora with stress on the
spiritual character of
these ties.

This would be done, he
said, by urging each con-
gregation in the U.S. to
grant leaves of absende for a
sabbatical year for its rab-
bis to allow them to ac-
quaint themselves with the
State of Israel and as a
means of reducing the gap
between the religious and
secular society in Israel.
He also urged American
rabbis to set aside at least
one Sabbath a year for a
thorough discussion of aliya
and the ties with Israel and
for various Hebrew schools
to gear their programs to
stimulate aliya as one of the
goals of Jewish education.

and Defense Ministry of-
ficials of leaning on military
correspondents in an effort
to get them to write reports
according to the "desirable
line." The author of the
book, "Blinds at the Top," is
Shimshon Offer, who, as
Davar's military correspon-
dent for 10 years, covered
the Six-Day War, the war of
attrition and the Yorn Kip-
pur War.
Offer claims that in order
to assure the "desirable
line," the military establish-
ment used pressure and
threats, both explicit and
implicit, and imposed its
"line" on the press and other
communications media.
He tells of one senior of-
ficial who requested
military correspondents
slant their reports on Israel
Defence Forces activities
along the preconceived
views of the IDF.
The officer, Offer
reveals, told the cor-
respondents that he has a
"personal file" on all of
them and that he assumed
they wanted to maintain
their contacts and
relations with the army in
the future.
The book, which covers
the relationship between
the military authorities and
the correspondents prior to
the outbreak of the Yom
Kippur War, devotes its last
chapter to describing the
methods taken to under-
mine widespread protests
by the correspondents right
after the war.

that the Ministry of Educa-
tion had no intention of
doing so.
The 10 youngsters were
sent to the U.S. as part of a
program organized by the
American Field Service in
which youths from all over
the world spend six months
with American families and
go to American schools. The
Israelis were selected by the
education system from
schools throughout the
country, after receiving
their parents' approval.
But Hammer felt this
was not merely a matter of
educational consider-
ations, but also of national
ones. He wrote he had

New Test Found
to Measure MS

BALTIMORE — John
Hopkins researchers
have developed a test
which may lead to better
treatment of multiple
sclerosis.
The Basic Protein
Essay test cannot diag-
nose MS or predict its
onset but it does show
promise as a tool for
evaluating preventative
measures.
According to Dr. Steven
R. Cohen, a biochemist in
Hopkins' neurology de-
partment, "What we feel
we have now is a way of
measuring the activity of
the disease." Cohen said
the test can guide doctors
in use of steroid treat-
ments, the only known
method of combating MS.
According to Cohen, the
test uses radioactivity to
search for protein in the
victim's spinal chord and
then measure antibody
reaction.

learned that one of the
students will even be a
guest of a priest.
"This," he wrote, "seems
strange and serious. At a
time when we are obliged to
deepen Jewish con-
sciousness, what is the logic
and reason for an action
that might cause the op-
posite result?" Hammer
also warned against the
negative consequences the
program might have on
American Jewry which is
"fighting assimilation."
