Local and national
agency allocations were
made in June.
Out of the $10,139,000

America-Israel Cultural

The $9,985,000 to the

needy Jews outside the
U.S.; ORT (Organization for
Rehabilitation Through

universities in Israel; and,
UJA's primary beneficiary,
the Jewish Agency, which

The America-Israel Cul-

great creativity in advanc-

Arab Students
Stage Strike
at Bethlehdin
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
About 1,200 Arab students
at Bethlehem University
went on strike Monday to
protest orders by the civil
administration that eight
foreign lecturers cease their
teaching activities im-
mediately.
The orders were issued
last Friday to four Ameri-
can and four British in-
structors who refused to
sign a commitment not to
"aid the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization or any
other hostile organization."
The pledge is a requirement
for renewal of work and
resident permits on the
West Bank.
So far, 21 foreign lectur-
ers at three West Bank uni-
versities have been forced to
give up their jobs and leave
the country because they
would not sign what they
regard as a political docu-
ment which compromises,
their academic freedom.

UNITED
NATIONS
(JTA) — Syria urged the
United Nations Tuesday to
revokathe resolution under
which Israel was admitted
to the world body in 1949.
Addressing the General
Assembly, which began its
debate on the Middle East
this week, Ambassador
Diz-Allah El-Fattal of Syria
said the UN "must act"
against Israeli "aggression"
and "occupation" because
the Arabs "could no longer
be patient."
He said Israel constituted
the greatest danger to world
peace and accused the
United States of supporting
Israel's aggression. He as-
serted that "the Jewish
lobby" in the U.S. is pre-
venting peace in Lebanon.

continue to do its share in
supporting HIAS so that
it can respond to all op-
portunities for rescue
which may arise, it was
stated.
