HAIFA — Not all the
stories of the war made
headlines. For example:
Camouflage — Ten
white-smocked doctors in
the Tyre Red Cross Hospital
seemed to be acting oddly.

queried them, and quickly
ascertained that they knew
nothing whatever about
medicine. They all turned
out to be PLO terrorists who
had for four days saved their
skin8 by this protective
cover.
Living Dangerously —
An air force pilot, sum-
moned to his unit on the eve
of the war, was arrested for
speeding, as he hastened to
the air base. He pocketed
the ticket, and was soon in
the air. In the battle with
Syrian planes that followed,
he downed five MiGs.
A week later, on home
leave, his mother exclaimed
over a bruise on his
forehead. No, he had not
been wounded in battle, he
explained. When the planes
had returned after their
tangle with the Syrians
they had thrown a party to
celebrate, and he had been
hit by the cork from a cham-
pagne bottle which had
been opened carelessly.
Good Manners — A
committee of Knesset mem-
bers made the rounds of the
wards at the Rambam Hos-
pital and presented the
Knesset medal to every
wounded soldier. Jehad Adi
smiled through his ban-
dages, shook hands with the
politicos, and politely ac-
cepted the medal. Only the
others in the ward knew
that Jehad was not an Is-
raeli soldier, but a wounded
member of the PLO, who
had been brought in for
emergency treatment.
Going My Way — Lt.
Michael Zack, 21, got a
short leave from his unit in
Lebanon, and stood by the
side of the road hitching a
ride to his home in
Beersheba. Outside the
Lebanese village of
Hatzbayah there was little
traffic, and Zack almost de-
spaired of being able to
make it in time.
At that moment a
helicopter landed beside
him and a pilot inquired:
"Going south?" The forlorn
soldier had been sighted.
from the air and was able to
get home in ample time.
Hevra Kadisha — One
of the most unpleasant jobs
in the army is that of the
military rabbinate, who
must look after the corpses.
Among the others they also
afford decent burial to the
enemy, and take great pains
to bury the Moslem dead
with their heads facing
Mecca, as required by their
faith.
Bad Taste — Legal steps
are being considered
against an advertising
promoter who printed
thousands of postcards
bearing advertising mes-
sages, and distributed them
cording to a Pentagon
spokesman.
Get Him to the
Synagogue — Captain
CARL ALPERT
free among soldiers at the
front, to encourage their
writing home.
One of the cards carried
the slogan: "Israel's army
exterminates the terrorists;
Yaron exterminates house-
hold pests."
With Degree — Dov
Shilansky, a member of the
Israel Cabinet, visited a
stockade where Israel was
holding terrorist prisoners.
Outside the prison he struck
up a conversation with two
blonde girls, both German-
speaking, who protested
that their husbands were
being held unjustly.
"We are Germans, a cul-
tured people; would we
marry terrorists?" they
asked. "Yes, I am familiar
with German culture,"
Shilansky replied. "I am a
graduate of a German un-
viersity." When they in-
quired as to which univer-
sity, he replied laconically,
"Dachau," and walked
away.

NEW YORK — Barry Ro-
sen, one of four Jews in the
group of 52 Americans held
hostage in Iran, has been
appointed full-time special
assistant to the president of
Brooklyn College. Rosen
graduated from the college
in 1965.
They're Only Kids
— Great pains were taken
not to hurt innocent civi-
lians. When one Israeli unit
entered a village to flush
out hiding terrorists, they
ignored a group of children.
Yet youngsters in the street
fired shots, one of _which
wounded the platoon com-
mander.
His words to his men:
"Don't hurt them; they're
only kids."

Former Hostage
-
Gary, an artillery officer,
was given leave from the
front to attend a scheduled
wedding — his own. For
lack of other transporation,
he got a lift on an Israel
navy vessel which brought
him to port, from which he
made it in time to stamp the
glass under the hupa.
Redeemed — The show-
ing made by the Israel-
flown F-15s against the
Syrian-flown MiGs, served
to redeem the reputation of
the American plane in Is-
rael's history. In 1977 it was
the arrival of these planes
after the onset of the Shabat
which led to the fall of the
Rabin government.
