Federally programmed, the Library of Congress services for the visually handicapped makes avail- able thousands of books of every conceivable subject: science, fiction, literary essays, history, children's stories. Of interest to this commu- nity is the recording, for cassette tapes, of Prof. Da- vid Lewis' "The Public Im- age of Henry Ford," which has just been issued in a second edition by Wayne State University Press. The reading of this vol- ume in more than 20 tapes, for cassettes, was by Rich- ard Vogt. The readings are done by volunteers who are selected among those tested best to be able to transmit the texts articulately. An unusual first for any of these readings was the in- troduction to the Ford biog- raphy by the author himself who explained the Ford role and expressed thanks to one Mr. and Mrs. Philip Slomovitz "for services to the community and to the blind." Among the blessings for the handicapped is the avail- ability of volumes like "Harry Truman and the Crisis Presidency" by Bert Cochran. Throwing light on the con- flict between Truman and the State Department and the recognition of Israel by the U.S., this volume is among the blessings for the visually handicapped be- cause important works are made available for them as Talking Books. A "Cassette Books" cata- logue lists the hundreds of available tales in more than ,100 pages of texts, in- dicating the scores of cate- gories covered in providing aid for the handicapped. Even more extensive are the recordings, and the help given by the Library of Con- gress in the federally-aided program through the Oak- land County Subregional Li- brary for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in- clude a vastly increased number of topics covered in the professionally planned programs under the guid- ance of skilled librarians. Among the many hun- dreds of titles taped by qual- ified readers for the blind are titles of general inter- est, many Jewish authors in- cluded among them.

Envoy Statements on Domestic Issues Banned by Dayan JERUSALEM (JTA)— Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan has forbidden Israeli diplomats abroad to discuss or answer any questions about domestic or political matters inside Israel. The matter came up in the Knesset when Avraham Sharir of Likud asked about a Guardian report saying Avraham Kidron, Israel's Ambassador in London, pre- dicted a short life for the Begin government. Dayan said he sent a let- ter of reprimand to Kidron advising him that it was not his place to discuss domes- tic developments in Israel and that in so doing he had exceeded his authority. are a few titles selected at random from the 1977 "Catalog of Volunteer-Pro- duced Books on Tape": "Sand Against the Wind," Frank Angelo; "Explor- ations in Human Behav- ior," Abe Arkoff; "The Bible—A Modern Jewish Ap- proach," Bernard J.
