Lebanese Seek Medical Aid From Israel Doctors
(Continued from Page 1)
are treated at the clinic
and emergent cases are
referred to nearby hospi-
tals for definitive care.
A number of Lebanese
have sought attention for
chronic problems such as
arthritis, chronic heart
disease and cancer. The
patients are given
analgesics as necessary
but informed that little
more can be accomplished.,
This writer asked a
number of Lebanese why
they had sought help
frbm their erstwhile
enemies. One man re-
plied, "What enemy? The
Israelis are not my
enemies. I am an Arme-
nian from Beirut and
have brought my wife's
father for attention.
There are many doctors
in Beirut but none have
medicines. Here there is
COLPA Files Suit
for School Funds
NEW YORK (JTA) —
An appeal was filed with
the United States Sup-
reme Court by the Na-
tional Jewish Commis-
sion on Law and Public
Affairs seeking reversal
of a Manhattan federal
court decision denying
reimbursement to non-
public schools for per-
forming services man-
dated by the state, ac-
cording to Sidney Kwes-
tel, COLPA president.
The case involves a law
passed in 1974 providing
for reimbursement to
non-public schools of the
costs of complying with
state requirements for
pupil attendance report-
ing and the administra-
tion of state prepared
examinations such as re-
gents tests. These are re-
quired of both public and
non-public schools alike.
Nathan Lewin, a
COLPA vice president,
and Dennis Rapps,
COLPA executive direc-
tor, are representing the
Yeshiva Rambam of New
York in the appeal to the
Supreme Court. Kwestel
said the yeshiva's claim
to reimbursement is typi-
cal of other yeshivot
which would receive
funds under the chal-
lenged law if its is sus-
tained by the Supreme
Court. •

Another woman from a
nearby village had no
fear of the many Israeli
soldiers. "They do not
threaten me, why should
I be afraid!" The
Lebanese walk through
the medical station im-
pervious of the soldiers
and most appear amused
by the specter of jour-
nalists interviewing
them.
One of the clinic's
physicians is a specialist

in internal medicine and
has been called for his one
month per year reserve
army duty. When asked if
he could explain why
Lebanese Arabs were
coming to Israel for help
he answered, "I don't
know. - After a few mo-
ments hesitation he con-
tinued, "Well, I suppose it
is because we are really
trying to help them, with-
out threats or condi-
tions."
