Goldmann addressed

Jews and lead Jewish
lives."
Goldmann said that
"Romania is an example
that the two can co-
exist."

BRUSSELS (ZINS) —
Robert McNamara, the
president of the World
Bank, recently advised
Indira Gandhi to adopt
the agricultural "Ben-Or
System," for India. This
system was created by
Daniel Ben-Or, an Israeli
scientist, who has been
working for the World
Bank for the past three
years in helping India.
Indian newspapers say
that wherever this sys-
tem was introduced the
yield was doubled.
Despite the censorship,
one Indian newspaper
noted sarcastically that
Ben-Or's help to India is
another argument to jus-
tify Indira Gandhi's
anti-Israel political
stance in the interna-
tional area.
Soldiers Profitable
NEW YORK (ZINS) —
The Arab League is pay-
ing $500 a month for each
soldier in Lebanon, and
27,000 of the 30,000 men
there are Syrians. Most of
the fee is pure profit,
since a - Syrian private is
paid only $25 a month.
Kissinger Hopeful for M.E. Peace
NEW YORK — During
his press conference at
the recent meetings of
the North Atlantic Tre-
aty Organization in
Brussels, U.S. Secretary
of State Henry Kissinger
made the following
statement on the Middle
East:
"I believe the foreign
policy of the United
States has never been
based on the personal
preferences of individu-
als, and to the extent pos-
sible we attempted to
analyze the basic
realities and the basic in-
terests- and purposes of
the United States.
"In that sense, if our
conclusions were sub-
stantially correct, I would
believe that a new ad-
ministration will follow a
similar course.
"There might be differ-
ences of tactics, differ-
ences of personalities, but
I believe the main com-
mitment toward a just
peace in the Middle East is
dictated by American in-
terests, world interests,
and finally by the best in-
terests of the parties con-
cerned.
"I am convinced that
the United States will
continue to play a major
role in the search for
peace in the Middle East.
"My assessment, which
I've been making for
months both before and
after our election, is that

CJF Reports Rise in Federation
Support for Jewish Education
NEW YORK — Federa-
tion support for Jewish
education in North
America in the last de-
cade reveals a better than
threefold increase in allo-
cations from $6.97 million
in 1966 to $22.43 million
last year, according to a
report issued by the
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions and Welfare Funds.
Statistics contained in
the new CJF report on
federation allocations to
Jewish education com-
paring 1974 and 1975 dis-
close a continuing pat-
tern of growth. An in-
crease of 15.1 percent
from $19.7 million to $22.6
million, was recorded.
In 1975, federations in
New York, Chicago and
Toronto gave unpre-
cedented support for
Jewish education in ex-
cess of $2 million each.
Other large city federa-
tions allocating $1-2 mill-
ion for Jewish education
last year were Cleveland,
Los Angeles and Philadel-
phia.
These figures also show
a marked increase in fed-
eration allocations to day
schools, a gain of some
24.7
percent
from
$7,495,899 in 1974 to
$9,350,697 in 1975.
The CJF study reveals
that day schools now re-
ceive two out of every five
dollars allocated by fed-
erations to Jewish educa l
tion, with an average per
student subsidy of $250
per year.
Parents pay approxi-
mately 50 cents of every
dollar for their children's
day school education,
while 20 cents came from
federations. The schools
themselves must raise
the remainder.
North American federa-
tions allocate funds to day
schools for a variety of
purposes, including scho-
larships for needy stu-
dents, lump-sum grants
and for deficit financing.
The study highlights
the growing trend to-
wards closer relation-
ships between federa-
tions and day schools, in-
dicated by the review of
school budgets by federa-
tions, the submission of
periodic financial reports
and audits, educational
supervision and program
review.
JDC Adopts 1977 Budget
NEW YORK (JTA) ---
The American Joint Dis-
tribution Committee
adopted a budget of
$35,110,000 for 1977. The
expenditures for 1976
were $35,262,500, an in-
crease of $3,725,000 over
1975.
The 1977 budget "will
cover most bases and
meet fundamental
Jewish needs overseas,"
Donald M. Robinson, of
Pittsburgh, 'chairman of
the budget and finance
committee, told the more
than 300 Jewish com-
munal leaders from the
United States and
Canada at the JDC's 62nd
annual meeting at the
New York Hilton Hotel.
Robinson said 38 per-
cent of the 1977 budget
will go for welfare prog-
rams; 20 percent for the
aged, sick and handicap-
ped; and 25 percent for
Jewish education and re-
ligious and cultural prog-
rams including subsidies
to Jewish schools in
Europe, the Moslem coun-
tries, Israel, ORT and the
Alliance Israelite Univer-
selle.
Jack D. Weiler, a New
York realtor and builder,
was elected to his third
one-year term as presi-
dent. Robinson, who is a
private investor and di-
rector of Revco Drug
Stores Inc., was elected
vice president and
president-elect. He will
assume the presidency
Jan. 1, 1978.
Pedestrian Safety
Topic at Technion
HAIFA — An interna-
tional conference on
pedestrian safety was
held this week at the
Technion - Israel Insti-
tute of Technology.
The four-day meeting,
the first of its kind in the
world, was sponsored by
the Technion, the Uni-
versity of Haifa, and the
Society for Medicine and
Law in Israel. More than
50 scientists from Israel
and abroad attended.
that make for peace in the
Middle East are better
than they have been in
perhaps decades.
"I believe that all of the
parties have come to the
conclusion that there is
no military solution to
their conflict. And some
negotiated peace must be
sought.
"Endless conflict will
have profound consequ-
ences for the peoples in-
volved and profound
global consequences, and
therefore I believe the
parties are now more
ready and conditions
more ripe for a significant
effort for peace than has
been the case for a long
time."
College Strikes
Jewish Studies
OAKLAND, Cal. (JTA)
— All students in the five
school units of the
Peralta Community Col-
lege district are required,
under a 1974 stipulation
for its two-year associate
in arts degree, to take
three units of ethnic
studies but a course in
Jewish studies at one of
the five schools has been
ruled as not meeting that
requirement.
After 20 months of con-
troversy, officials of Mer-
ritt College decided that
its course in Jewish cul-
ture and history does not
deserve the
sa m e
academic and degree re-
quirement status as do
courses in
Chicano, - Asian and Na-
tive American studies.
