In the months leading up to Israel's Declaration of In- dependence, the provisional government came under great pressure to postpone what seemed to be the in- evitable — the announcement of statehood. The United States, one of the key interna- tional players in the debate, proposed an international trusteeship for. Palestine. This proposal did not go down well in Tel Aviv. In common with most members of the embryonic Jewish government, Kol believed that the state should be declared, even if the United States was not on its side. He had supported the 1947 United Nations parti- tion plan, which called for the division of Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state, with an international enclave in Jerusalem, and now he had no intention of retreating from that position. "I believed in territorial compromise with the Arabs," he said. "And Ben-Gurion knew he couldn't get all of Eretz Yisrael as a Jewish state." Kol realized that Arab ar- mies would invade Palestine if the provisional government declared statehood. But he was prepared to face the storm. "We knew there would be a serious war. We knew that very well. I believed that we would succeed in repelling the Arab attack, but that we would have to pay a heavy price," he said. Kol's assessment of the situation was that the Jews of Palestine had reached a historic moment that "we could not miss?' The Soviet Union, traditionally opposed to Zionism, had come out in favor of Jewish sovereignty. And the United States, after having toyed with the idea of a United Nations trusteeship, had finaly assented to Israeli statehood as well. For the first time since the end of World War II, the superpowers were in total agreement on a major global issue. A glance at the Declaration of Independence reveals a glaring omission: Chaim Weizmann's name is missing. Weizmann, the would-be president of Israel and the driving force behind the 1917 Balfour Declaration, was not- in Tel Aviv when it was signed. Several days before that oc- casion, Ben-Gurion had dispatched Zionism's elder statesman to Washington. 682-1520 MON.-FRI. 10-4, SUN. 12-4 _5 -1 Individually Designed Exquisitely Crafted Custom Jewelry By Susan Fox Beznos 541-5515 By Appointment • HOT LOOKS FOR A COOL SUMMER IMIAlArild g'''' . 1J1A „..„ r the ultimate source for all your travel accessories , 6253 ORCHARD LAKE RD.

(South of 14 Mile Road) Professional Measure and In-Home Design Consulting Al No Obligation BY DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C. Dr. of Chiropractic WHAT IS DISC DEGENERATION? As we grow older and less active the tough elastic tissue of the disc begins to lose its fluid. The loss of fluid thins and weakens the disc making its function as a shock absorber for the spine ineffective. THREE TYPES OF DISC TROUBLE Generally, disc problems fall into three categories: 1) Slipped disc 2) Ruptured disc 3) Disc Degeneration The spine is designed to withstand a great deal of stress and strain; but a fall, a back injury, a violent sneeze, or long-continued strain may throw a vertebra out of position, protrude a disc, and compress nerves. This is usually called slipped disc and happens at one time or another to about two out of five adults. WHAT CAN BE DONE? Fortunately, 95 % of all disc cases can be managed through modern chiropractic methods. Years of research and experience in disc cases qualifies the doctor of chiropractic as the doctor of choice in acute and chronic disc problems. CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR DISC PROBLEMS Specialized chiropractic techniques in disc care include: 1) Thorough chiropractic examination to determine extent and cause; 2) Realigning the spinal column; 3) Balancing the spine and pelvis; 4) Reducing vertebral subluxations; 5) Stimulating disc nutrition. Any person suffering from acute or chronic back pain should see a doctor of chiropractic to determine the cause and what should be done about it. A doctor of chiropractic knows DISC PROBLEMS and can help you. Don't live with pain LEVINE CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC We can help 31390 Northwestern Hwy. Farmington Hills 48018 855-2666 Dr. Stephen M.
