countries concerned to turn
from war and agree to
negotiate.
While stressing that Jordan
is the only neighboring Arab
country where negotiations
with Israel seem likely, Rabin
said he doubted that King
Hussein could afford the isola-
tion in the Arab world that fol-
lowed Egypt President Anwar
Sadat's willingness to reach a
peace agreement with Israel.
At the same time, he saw
some hope in Iraq resuming
diplomatic relations with the
United States after 17 1/2 years
and Jordan "daring" to renew
relations with Egypt. He saw
this as a small step that could
lead to progress in the coming
year.
During his three-day visit,
Rabin met with Defense Sec-
retary Caspar Weinberger,
Secretary of State George
Shultz, National Security Ad-
He stressed that Israel's de-
cision to leave Lebanon was a
"unilateral" one and was not
tied to what Syria does.
"If Syria would like to con-
tinue to stay in Lebanon let
them enjoy it," Rabin said
after a two-hour meeting with
Weinberger at the Pentagon.
"I believe that whoever sets
his foot in the mud of Lebanon
sticks there."
Rabin. said he discussed all
Mideast issues with Wein-
berger, whom he called "sym-
pathetic" and "a friend to Is-
rael."
Rabin said he and Shultz
discussed the plight of Soviet
Jewry, Israeli economic is-
sues, and the aid package.

American hospitals are much
more systematic and much more
efficient, notesione doctor who has
practiced both -here and there.
They are well organized, but the
human touch is frequently lack-
ing. Some hospitals seem to exist
for the sake of medicine; Israel's
hospitals exist for people. Every-
thing is based on the human con-
tact.

Vandals Tied To
Reder's Release
Paris (JTA) — Anti-Semitic
slogans were daubed last week in
the small Jewish cemetery of
Antibes in the south of France and
on the local synagogue's walls.
The president of the local
Jewish community, Leon Al-
louche, said, "Local vandals and
anti-Semites probably wanted to
celebrate in their own way (Nazi
war criminal Walter) Reder's lib-
eration (from Italy) and trium-
phant return to Austria." Al-
louche said the incident probably-
took place last Thursday night
after Reder was returned to Au-
stria. He added, "This regularly.
occurs whenever a Nazi is tried or
liberated."
Allouche asked the police to try
and trace the vandals and said the
community is determined "to de-
fend itself." Allouche refused to be
more specific but said, "We will
not let ourselves be done in like
sheep." •
In the nearby city of Nice, the
municipal council voted Monday a
special 140,000 Franc ($15,000)
budget to restore the city's Jewish
cemetery, desecrated by vandals
last year.

American physicians who prac-
tice here are at first surprised at
the atmosphere which prevails in
Israel hospitals. The visiting
hours posted at the gate mean
nothing, and the lobbies, corridors
and wards of the local hospitals
may be clogged with kinsmen of
all ages at all hours.
The nurses have learned to take
the presence of the families as a
mixed blessing. For one thing, the
moral encouragement and
psychological support play no
small part in encouraging the
patient in his battle against ill-
ness. Furthermore, family vis-
itors do not necessarily confine
their attention to their own kin.
They are only too ready to pitch in
and help other patients in the
room who have to be fed, have er-
rands run for them, etc. Visitors
assume the duties of nurses or
attendants with enthusiasm and
devotion.
The family atmosphere extends
itself to the prpfessional staff as
well. The relationship between
physicians and nurses is far more
warm and friendly than is to be
found in many American hospi-
tals. During a busy morning, they
may dine together in the little
lunch corner in the ward, rather
than go their separate ways to the
dining room. It is not unusual,
here, for the nurses to offer a har-
ried doctor a cup of tea. The rela-
tionship takes in even the clean-
ing staff. The woman who mops
the floors feels herself part of the
team, and will inquire solicitously
about a professional colleague
who may have been having prob-
lems — medical or personal.

Israelis Emphasize Human Aspect
In Treatment Of Patients At Hospitald
Haifa -L. Text of an advertise-
ment in a mass circulation He-
brew paper here: "Thank You —
to the director and the entire staff
of the Kidney Transplant De-
partment in Beilinson Hospital,
for the devoted care given to my
wife."
The ad is by no means unusual.
Scores ike it appear in the daily
papers, expressing appreciation
to doctors, to nurses-and to hospi-.
tal staffs for the treatment and
attention received by patients.
Sometimes the notice voices
gratitude from a family for all the
efforts to save the life of a loved
one, even though the attempt
failed. - -
The Israeli patient is an ap-
preciative individual, perhaps be-
cause he realizes that he must
have been very demanding and
very trying during his hos-
pitalizaton. He seeks ways of
showing that appreciation. In
ward after ward and department
after department at the Carmel
Hospital in Haifa the walls are
covered with pictures, paintings,
drawings, sketches of all kinds.
All were presented as tokens of
appreciation from grateful
patients. The same will be found
in other hospitals.
A few days after a particularly
difficult case had been dis-
charged, well on the road to re-
covery, the attending cardiologist
came into the ward one morning
and was amazed to discover that a
long table had been set up,
covered with cakes and cookies
and delicacies and drinks of all
kinds. "It was like a bar mitzvah
reception," he said — a party
thrown by the patient and his
family in tribute to the physicians
and the nurses. In a place of honor
on the table was a huge pink,
