TEL AVIV (JTA) — The

proposals to raise the induc-

possibly 20. While military

tion age would allow
youngsters to finish high
school and possibly a year or
two of university studies.
They would enter the armed
forces more mature and
with fewer adjustment
problems.
They would have an
opportunity before induc-
tion to contribute to socially
productive tasks such as
neighborhood work and new
town development, he said.
Eytan also lectured the
scouts on the necessity
for continued Jewish set-
tlements on the West
Bank and claimed that
world opinion is demand-
ing that Israel return not
only to its pre-1967 bor-
ders but to those of 1947.
He said that the state was
founded on five main prin-
ciples: Zionism, settlement,
immigration, Jewish labor
and freedom to work and
live anywhere in the coun-
try.
But according to Eytan,
the old ideals have long
been forgotten or lost and
the time has come to search
for new ones and revive the
old ones. "If we do not revive
and rejuvenate the attrac-
tive power of the land of Is-
rael we may have to pay a
very dear price," the chief of
staff said.

Settlers Protest

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
About 4,000 settlers
demonstrated outside the
Knesset building last week
to demand changes in the
legal status of the West
Bank so that Jewish settle-
ments there cannot be chal-
lenged in the courts.

TORONTO (JTA) —
James McQuirter, 21, and
Armand Siksna, 36, both of
Toronto, have been acquit-
ted by a county judge of con-
spiracy to distribute hate
literature.
While describing the
material as -"absolute gar-
bage," Judge Douglas
said he was not persu
that it constituted h
propaganda under the law
or that there was evidence
that it was circulated or
planned to be circulated.
McQuirter, reportedly an
avowed organizer for the Ku
Klux Klan and the defunct
rightwing Western Guard,
said he had given copies
only to sympathizers.
