Apartments Dinner to Honor the Temehm
Laina Temchin, who
retires at the end of this
month as administrator of
Federation Apartments, will
be honored together with
her husband Joe by her co-
workers and associates at a
dinner on Sunday.
The dinner, which begins
with cocktails at 6 p.m. in
the dining room of the
apartments building, will
cite the Temchins for their
devotion to the apartments,
said Mark E. Schlussel,
apartments president.
Mrs. Temchin started
working for the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign the day after
she arrived in this country
from France in 1951; she
has worked for the Jewish
Welfare Federation or one
of its member agencies ever
since.
"The same day I arrived
in the United States I was
hired as a temporary
worker for the Allied Jewish

JERUSALEM (JTA )—
Years of working in Israel
does nothing to improve the
negative view most West
Bank Arabs have of the
Jewish state, a research
project by Bar-Ilan Univer-
sity sociologists has found.
On the contrary, in some
instances at least, the expe-
rience actually heightens
the West Bankers' antipathy
or hostility towards Israel—
this despite the better living
standards that Israeli sala-
ries have undoubtedly
brought.
Preliminary findings of
the Bar-Ilan team, led by
Prof. Yehuda Amir, were
reported in Yediot Ahronot
last week. Amir and his
team selected Israeli Arabs
from among the university
faculty staff to aid them in

"Her greatest virtue is
her compassion, care and
concern," he said. "She's
been mother confessor to
everyone in the building,
and gets involved in all their
simhas and tragedies. She
has a remarkable com-
passion for people — I'll
never forget the way she
deals with them."
Leaving the apartments
will be hard for the
Temchins.
"I knew many of the resi-
dents before I came here,
from my work at the Cen-
ter," Mrs. Temchin said.
"They are like relatives to
me. It took me a year to
decide to leave. I will miss
them all, they are so dear to
me."
But Mrs. Temchin looks
forward to the challenge of
moving to Boynton Beach,
Fla., where she and her hus-
band purchased a home
three years ago.
"I've always liked chal-
lenges," she said, "I've
already started learning
Spanish. And I want to go
back to school there. I have
so many stories to tell, from
Europe and from my work.
I want to take courses in
creative writing."
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The
Moshavim District of the
Labor Party adopted a reso-
lution urging the party to
end its alignment with
Mapam and re-establish the
historic Mapai faction as
the central core of the
Labor movement in Israel.
The resolution. adopted by
a substantial majority in the
district meeting, was
viewed with dismay by
other Laborites who saw in
it a sure formula for the dis-
mantling of Labor
was
The
resolution
strongly supported by for-
mer Agriculture Minister
Aharon Uzan. leader of the
party's Moshavim District.
He said Labor could rejuve-
nate itself and restore its
appeal to the electorate only
by splitting the Mapam. The
latter faction joined Labor
seven years ago creating
the Labor Alignment which
governed Israel until this
year.
The moshavim will seek
support for its position in
other Labor circles and
hopes to bring the matter up
for discussion in the central
bodies of the party.
Survey Finds West Bankers Are Basically Hostile to Israel
interviewing hundreds of
West Bank workers over a
period of two years. The
interviewees were invited to
the campus and interviewed
in the open, as informally as
possible, in order to allay
suspicions that their words
might be recorded or other-
wise used against them.
In order to overcome
fears and suspicions

as a group worker for senior
adults, a post she held for
more than 20 years.
"I joined the Center when
it was on Twelfth St. and
moved with it, to Dexter-
Davison, then to Curtis-
Meyers. At the same time I
was working for the Center
on Twelfth St. I was going
to the school of social work
at Wayne State," she said.
Mrs. 'remchin met her
husband through the Center.
She describes Joe, a retired
dry cleaner whom she mar-
ried in 1954, as "my very
best volunteer."
"We sold our house when
I took the job at the apart-
ments because part of the
job was we had to live
there. He helped with the
work here, and when the
residents couldn't get to me
with their problems they
could always get to him, "
she said.
Schlussel described the
Temchins as "a manage-
ment team in the real sense.
Joe got no pay or credit for
his work, but he did a great
deal to assist with tenant
problems."
Schlussel had nothing but
praise for Mrs. Temchin's
work as administrator for
the past five years.
Labor Unit Urges
End to M ap am link
of the area, the more stereo-
typed—and hostile—the
responses became. Such
questions as What is Israel's
place in the world?; Can
Arabs and Jews live
together in peace? ; How do
you think Israelis regard
you? received almost uni-
formly negative replies.
Summing up the project,
Prof. Amir said:
"Most of the responses
varied between an attitude
of "kabdehu vehashdehu"
(respect him but suspect
him) to one of outright
negativism. To my great
regret we found virtually no --
really positive responses.
The best responses we
received were those
expressing neither
enthusiasm nor downright
hostility.
"That was true regarding
the less politically-oriented
issues, such as, Has Israel
contributed to the West
Bank economy?; Should
Israelis be able to visit the
West Bank?; Is the Israeli
wife generally faithful to
her family? But there was a
generally negative response
to such substantive ques-
tions as, Can Jews and
Arabs live together in
peace?"
While the research team
implies that the basic atti-
tudes result from objective
considerations, they note,
nevertheless that inter-
viewees' answers, even to
politically-oriented ques-
tions, are noticeably
affected by their individual
experiences at their Israeli
work places. This is particu-
larly true in connection with
the grade of responsibility
that the West Banker feels
he has at his work.
What is important here,
the team says, is not neces-
sarily the actual level of
responsibility but the sub-
jective feeling of the
individual.
