THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Every person is responsi- ble for all the good within the scope of his abilities, Israeli Officials Disappointed With Amount of U.S. Credits (Continued from Page 1) that Israel would have re- ceived even less were it not for his efforts and chal- lenged anybody to do better. Weizman said he was not surprised -by the White House announce- ment considering the in- flationary pressures in the U.S. Israeli officials were dis- appointed on two levels. Ac- cording to some sources the relatively small addition to the aid package spread over three years meant that Wasington did not see "Is- rael as an asset." As for the immediate impact, it was generally agreed that Israel will have to take stringent measures to cope with the "new economic reality." Fear was expressed that Israel would have to draw on its foreign currency re- serves to finance urgent de- fense needs. Dr. Eliezer Sheffer, deputS, governor of the Bank of Israel, warned that the country's balance of payments deficit would reach $5 billion this year if the government failed to implement austerity meas- ures. These include man- power cuts in public service, a freeze on salaries and a 4-6 percent cut in the budget. Even if those measures are adopted the deficit would be $4 billion dollars he said. Other measures that may have to be considered are a more rapid devaluation of . the pound to make exports more profitable and a reduc- tion of imports. Some ex- perts said the government would have to reconsider its liberal policy regarding foreign currency holdings. While Bank of Israel Governor Arnon Gafni has ruled out on grounds that the national deficit stemmed from excessive imports rather than ex cessive purchase of foreign currency by indi- viduals, another expert remarked, "It is hard to accept that Israel has such a tough time getting dollars whereas its citi- zens can buy as many dol- lars as they wish." The immediate practical implications of the limited aid package include reduced production of warplanes, missiles and ammunition. Army exercises will be less extensive and soldiers will use less live ammunition. Some 4,000 employees will face dismissal from defense industries and civilian in- dustries that supply the army. The government will have to hike the price of im- ports and spur exports by every possible means. Finance Minister Yigal Hurwitz said he was grateful to the U.S. for its aid to Israel but that aid will not satisfy Israel's needs in either the military or civi- lian sectors. Weizman noted in a statement to - Survivors Protest Claims Agreement (Continued from Page 1) should continue for at least another 20 years — by which time most of the sur- vivors will have passed away — and that all pay- ments should be made through Israel, not through the Claims Conference in New York. Friedman claimed that the 100,000 Holocaust sur- vivors living in Israel con- stitute the bulk of the claimants. The Jan. 21 date was cho- sen for the demonstration because it will mark the 37th anniversary of the "Final Solution" decision at Wansee which put the Nazi death machine into action. Reform Demand Retraction for Goren Wedding Rite Slur JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Movement for Pro- gressive Judaism said last week that it would take legal action for slander against Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren unless he retracted a disparaging remark he allegedly made about a wedding ceremony performed by a Reform rabbi. "Legal steps will be taken," said Rabbi Adi As- sabi, director of the Reform movement in Israel, who of- ficiated at the wedding of Karen Dickenstein, 21, and Howard Levin, at Kibutz Yahel last month. Miss Dickenstein, of Michigan, is a new immig- rant to Israel. Levin, a re- cent immigrant to Israel, is now doing his army service in the Israel Defense Force. The congregation at the wedding included the young members of the kibutz, Is- rael's sole Reform kibutz, and invited guests. Goren was quoted as saying that the wedding "never happened" and also of asserting that the Reform rabbi "partici- pated only in the folkloristic parts, not in the halakhic parts" of the ceremony. The Reform group de- manded the retraction in a letter to Goren. A similar demand was made in a let- ter to the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Eilat, Moshe Hedaya, who was a witness at the wedding and signed the formal marriage docu- ments required by the Ministry of Interior. Hedaya was quoted in the press as declaring that he alone had officiated but had allowed Assabi to read the "ketuba" (marriage con- tract).
