For Elimelekh Goffer, an
industrial engineer who is
still on active duty in the Is-
rael army, the Ford steel
plant was a highlight of the
tour. "I learned about all
this, but I have never seen
it, only in pictures," he
said.

At Glassman Olds, it's standard equipment.
It has to be. Or there wouldn't be a

No, you won't stroll down red carpets
and be crowned with laurel wreaths. But
you will be dealing with people who care about
people and not just cars.
Simply put, we want your business.
But we also want your good will. And the
way we see it, the first follows from the
second.

At the museum, Ephraim
Merimsky took a long look
at a copy of Charles A.
Lindbergh's plane, the Spir-
it of St. Louis. "They flew
planes like that in the 1948
war," said Merimsky, who
suffered a leg injury in Is-
rael's struggle for independ-
ence. "They were good
planes."
Midway through the veter-
ans' stay in Detroit, Zucker-
inan took them on a one-
day tour of Washington,
D.C. They visited the Smith-
soniah– Institution, the
White House and the Capi-
tol, where they lunched in
the Senators' private dining
room. Twelve Senators and
Congressmen, Israel Ain-
bassador Simha Dinitz and
astronaut Adm. Alan Shep-
herd showed up to greet
and chat ,with the visitors.
The Israelis left for New
York Wednesday. After a
tour of the city, they saw a
Broadway play. Before
their return flight to Israel,
they visited the United Na-
tions complex and lunched
with Israel Ambassador
Chaim Herzog.
Major -costs of the two-
week visit were met by
Zuckerman, Jack Bean,
Harold Beznos, Irwin and
Avers Cohn, Sol Eisenberg,
Max M. Fisher, Maxwell
Jospey, Fred Nederlander,
I. William Sherr, Philip T.

The 10 host couples, who
not only housed the visitors
but accompanied them on
various trips, said they
were amazed at how quick-
ly the Israelis became part
of the family.
Hosts were Arnold and
Rita Faudman, Hugh and
Carolyn Greenberg, Jerome
and Nancy Hirsch, John
and Suzy Hopp, Jerome and
Nancy Kelman, Dr. Sheldon
and Sybil Mintz, Fred and
Betty Nederlander, Dr. Mor-

Other escorts included
Ruth Broder, David Neder-
lander, Esther Jones, Max
Weinberg, Bob and Evelyn
Kasle, Harvey and Clara
Gordon and Edith Mitten-
thal.
The
Israelis
enjoyed
American food, including
two specialties they'd heard
about for years: hotdogs
and hamburgers. They only
complaint about American
cuisine was that the serv-
ings were "too much."
Several of the veterans re-
marked on the size of every-
thing American, from the
cars to the synagogues. "It
was so big," said Ephraim
Merimsky, of his visit to
Temple Beth El with his -
hosts. "It was like some-
thing in a movie."
The Israelis took home
wads of photos which they
snapped with cameras and
film presented by the trip's
sponsors.- They were given
the opportunity to shop at
discount prices and took
home gifts for themselves
and their families. The
item most requested by
their children, they report-
ed, was bluejeans.
Doron Levinson said that
he seas most impressed
with the hospitality of the/
host, families and of the
Jewish communbity. "What
is important", he said/ "is
that we've made close
friends."
Zuckerman said the" visit
was "just our way of show-
ing a few disabled veterans
that we appreciate what
they have done for Israel
and for Jews all over the
world. These men are bea
tiful defenders of our
and honor."
U.S. Official Urges
`Strong Israel'
.
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Gen.
(Ret). George Keegan, - for-
mer chief of intelligence of
the U. S. Air Force, said
here that -a strong, free Is-
rael was vital to American
interests.
Keegan, who ended a
week-long visit to Israel,
said that if the Arab strate-
gy in the Mediterranean
succeeded, the only benefi-
ciary would be the Soviet
Union which would then be
in a position to increase its
threat to the free world.
\ According to Keegan, Is-
rael represents the only as-
surance against the new So-
xiet imperialism in this re-
gion.
He said that the Arab
strategy, after losing four
wars, is to isolate Israel
and to get the U.S. and the
free world to exert pressure
on it. This must not suc-
ceee he said.
