SMALL BEQUESTS
BUILD A
STRONG ISRAEL

If the tradition of including the Jewish
National Fund in the Will of every Jew were
invariably followed, sufficient resources would
be accumulated to ensure the future of the
young Jewish State on a sound basis of land
development, social welfare, and justice.

A bequest to the Jewish National Fund
should be as traditional as having a Blue Box
in one's home.

You may want your bequest to be
dedicated to afforestation, to a village, a
Nachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual
yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of
permanent tribute in the names of persons
dear to you.

Consult the Foundation for. Jewish
National Fund, 22100 Greenfield, 968-0820.
They will gladly co-operate with you in
working out plans to meet your special
requirements, in strict privacy.

fessor of Jewish History
and head of the Depart-
ment of Hebrew and
Jewish Studies at the
University of London, de-
scribed the collection as
one of the three most im-
portant Hebraica lib-
raries in private hands on
the American continent.
Lowy is a past presi-
dent of the United Israel
Appeal and the Allied
Jewish Community Serv-
ices in Montreal. He was
also a member for many
years of the CJC national
executive.
The CJC initiated the
Judaica Section of the Na-
tional Library by present-
ing the library in 1959 with
a collection of Judaica
books in many languages
as a bicentennial gift of the
Canadian Jewish commu-
nity made possible
through special alloca-
tions of central local com-
munity funds. The collec-
tion was supplemented in
1967 in marking the cen-
tennial of confederation.
A few years ago the CJC
received a grant from
Secretary of State John
Roberts to purchase

manuscripts and mic-
rofilms of rare materials
from libraries in the
USSR and some East Eu-
ropean countries.
This microfilm collec-
tion was dedicated by the
National Library to Saul
Hayes in recognition of
his assistance and help in
obtaining the collection.
Hayes participated
throughout in an advi-
sory capacity in the ar-
rangements for Lowy's
gift to the library.
Roberts cooperated fully
and facilitated the proj-
ect.
The Lowy collection in-
cludes 1,560 titles consist-
ing of 1,727 volumes of
Hebrew incunabula,
Latin incunabula, very
rare Bibles, Talmud edil
tions and codes, very rare
liturgy, a Flavius
Josephus collection and
extremely rare Hebrew
books from the 16th to the
19th Centuries, consist-
ing- inter alia, of rabbinic
books, philosphy, Kabala
and Bible commentaries.
Various other books will
be•donated by Lowy in the
near future.

Israel's Cabinet
Approves Budget

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The cabinet approved an
IL 31.8 billion four-month
interim budget Tuesday
to cover government ex-
penditures through Is-
rael's May 17 general
elections. A special ses-
sion was held for the pur-
pose, in the absence of
Premier Yitzhak Rabin
1,A,Tho is in Washington, in
order to get the budget
before the Knesset with-
out delay.
Its approval is virtually
certain since the interim
measure was drafted by a
special committee on
which both the govern-
ment and the opposition .
were represented.
It contains no innova-
tions, no new taxes and no
changes in the linkage
between wages and the
cost-of-living index. The
latter had been a feature
of the, original IL 122.5
billiofi budget for fiscal
1977-78 for which Rabin's
minority government
failed to gain Knesset ap-
proval last month.
A budget for the full
year is expected to be
drafted when the next
government takes office
after the elections.

Argentina Ousts Propagandist,
He Spreads Hate to Venezuela

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Hussein Triki, an Arab
propagandist ousted by
the Argentine govern-
ment in 1964 because of
his
anti-
Semitic actions, is now in
operation in Venezuela,
according to the Anti-
Defamation League of
Bnai Brith.
Triki, as head of the
Arab League office in
Buenos Aires in the early
1960s, worked closely
with Tacuara, a right-
wing, anti-Semitic group,
and other neo-Nazi ele-
ments in Argentina.
Gerald M. Quiat, vice
chairman of ADL's Latin
American affairs com-
mittee, said that Triki is
using the same tactics in
Venezuela as he did in
Argentina and has the
same goals — to promote
the Arab cause through
hatred ofJews and Israel.
Triki launched his prop-
aganda campaign in 'Ven-
ezuela in January with a
lecture on "International
Zionism" at the School of
Journalism of the Central
University of Venezuela in
Caracas. He also began
distributing his book,
"Zionism Unmasked,"
which has a foreword by
Dr. Domingo Alberto
Rangel, a Venezuelan •
economist who is a fierce
opponent of the present
government.
Although he denies
being anti-Jewish, Triki
says in his lectures that
he "cannot speak of
Zionism without speak-
ing of Judaism." He at-
tacks what he describes
as the Jews' efforts to
dominate the world and
cites the "Protocols of the
Elders of Zion" as proof.
Advocating that Israelis
should be returned to the
lands from which they
came, he declares that

"we cannot make peace
with those who have rob-
bed our homes."
Just as he did in Argen-
tina, Triki tells Ven-
ezuelan audiences that
Jews are more loyal to Is-
rael than to the countries
in which they live. He
takes credit for Tacuara's
propaganda tactic to gain
public support by attack-
ing. Jews as "Zionists,"
and therefore subversive,
Quiat reported.
According to the ADL
official, Triki's Nazi lean-
ings date back to World
War II when he belonged
to the "Neo-Destour," an
organization in Tunisia,
which operated with the
consent of German au-
thorities during the Nazi
occupation.
He also did propaganda
work against the Allies in
collaboration with the
Grand Mufti of
Jerusalem, who was in
charge of Nazi broadcasts
to the Middle East, and
with pro-Nazi Arab
emigres in Germany.
