BY ITS own stamina and courage and resolution Israel has made the whole free world its debtor. By its brave and brilliant defense Israel has not only secured its own survival, but has done much, more. It brought into being an opportunity upon which a more durable peace in the Middle East can be built.

Israel's military success has demonstrated that neither Egypt nor the Arab nations together in one emotional splurge can drive the Jews into the sea or make them disappear. If the Arabs can summon the minimum of sense and realism, they will learn from this painful lesson that the only alternative to repeated self-inflicted defeats is peaceful coexistence with the Israeli state. But Israel has done more. By demonstrating how feeble and futilo the pretensions of Col. Abdel Gamal Nasser are, Israel hai inflicted upon the Soviet Union the most grievous and illusion-shattering diplomatic and Cold War reverse the Berlin airlift and the Cuban missile crisis.

For a decade Moscow has been prolding the weapons, the economic assistance, and the diplomatic backing which, together, Nasser was confident would enable him either to intimidate or suffocate Israel. Nassar neither intimidated nor suffocated his neighbor. To Moscow, he proved an unreliable instrument and a bad investment. To Nasser, Moscow was only a fair-weather ally sine he probably believed that the strong Soviet words wculd bring strong Soviet support when the going got rough.

After first opposing any Security Council meeting to deal with the crisis, after arguing that U.N. discussion bout how to calm the crisis was designed to inflame it, Moscow finally approved calling for a cease-fire. The Soviets tried to hold out for a resolution which would havre solidified Nasser's blockade of Aqaba. This was averted by the firm United States stand. All of this has been Moscow's most riskful and reckless Cold War venture since sending missiles to Cuba, and Israel ma ie it a costly liability to Russia.

Steps Up Prosecution Is Draft Doikcrs Increase i I 'Stop the War GIs in Germany Urged to Desert By Peaceniks By ROY PERROTT Special to The Inquirer And London Observer LONDON. THOUSANDS of pamphlets distributed to American servicemen stationed in Germany, encouraging them to desert as a protest against the war in Vietnam, have been printed and aupplied by a peace organization based in London. The organization is connect- ed with similar groups on the American bases, also help to smuggle deserters across the border into Holland and France and then to countries in North Africa and Eastern Europe from which they cannot be extradited. The number of desertions tag been causing concern to American service chiefs. An official figure of 60 a month was given by American headquarters in Heidelberg last week.

The pamphlets are produced by a small printing firm in northwest London called the Stanhope Press, for an organization called th-j Vietnam Information Group (this fact is mentioned on each pamphlet). The owner of the Press, a leading member of the group, is Pat Pottle, 28, who was secretary of the Committee of 100 in 1961 and, for a time, was Eertrand Russell's secretary. Pottle showed me a copy of the pamphlet, which is ad-d-essed "To American Soldiers in Europe He said that between 50,000 and 60,000 copies of it had been circulated. A large number of those which had reached Germany had been confiscated by the military authorities. But he thought that thousands of servicemen must have received them.

The pamphlet is written in a moderate and reasoning tone and suggests five methods the serviceman can adopt for helping to end the war: By petitioning American politicians and senior officers; staging demonstrations in barracks or public places; holding a token walkout from barracks; registering as a conscientious objector, or deserting, either singly or in groups. The pamphlet adds the warning that desertion might involve imprisonment and that "we do not ask you undertake it lightly." It suggests that "it could have a powerful effect in building up pressure against the war." Pottle said that the pamphlets had also been distrib-uiea in American bases in England. Asked whether he thought the distribution was illegal, he said: "It probably is, under some defense agree-x-ent." Pottle said the funds for printing the pamphlets came from private donors, none of vhom had any Communist or Trotskyite affiliations. "Myself and others in the group have taken an anti-Russian line often enough, so there shouldn't be a'ny doubts about our motives. just want to do something to stop the war."

The person who spends some of his energy in this manner is rewarded with better mental health, even though he may eventually decide not to enter the new line of work. HERE are some hints for a person going back to school. Reading and listening to learn are active endeavors. It may take extra effort at the start. The returning student should read ahead, listen to understand, and if possible, talk to other students in the class.

Expressing the ideas in his own words will not only clarify them, but make them a part of his permanent knowledge. This builds up a background for the acceptance of further knowledge in the field. The student should read and think about what he has read; listen and think about what he has heard; and through inquiries obtain further information about partially understood ideas. A thorough understanding is the basis for pleasant learning. MONDAY: Many Can Read But Few Comprehend.

these cliffs so high." The promise was kept and Apache Tears are found near Picket Post Mountain to this day. At first they appear to be black but when held to the light look like smoky glass. The scientific explanation is somewhat different. Apache Tears are found in obsidian flows in the western part of the United States. Obsidian is a glassy volcanic rock of acid composition.

Sometimes when obsidian flows take up water the glassy luster is altered to a grayish or white color. If a network of cracks develops in the obsidian it may produce a series of rounded glassy nodules, later freed by erosion or in mining. These nodules are the Apache Tears. Women find them attractive as gem stones but Western Indians once turned them into tools and weapons. Altered obsidian, host rock of the smoky Apache Tears, is expected to become a valuable filtering agent in the medical and industrial worlds.

Q. Please give Information on paroxysmal atrial tachy-caVdia? What causes it, what to do in case of an attack, how to prevent it and what remedy if any? A. Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (P.A.T.) is a common abnormality of the cardiac rhythm. The normal pacemaker of the heart is superseded by a rapidly firing pacemaker in the upper heart chamber and it causes the heart to race. Most often it is not associated with heart disease and the cause is not really known, although excessive cigaret smoking, excessive coffee or tea intake and emotional excitement may tend to precipitate an attack.

The attacks are usually self limited or may be stopped by the patient by gagging or the physician may instruct the patient into massaging the sinus node in the neck which may at times stop the attack. Drug treatment is available to atop and prevent the attack. Q. Can thermography help a patient who has had a benign condition of the breast for 17 years? I am 45 years of age and want to keep a closer watch from now on. Are there advantages over mammography? How frequently can it be applied? How accurate is thermography? A.

Thermogrcphy is a promising but still experimental diagnostic method which depends on minor variations in temperature between the usual benign and the usual malignant breast tumor. The malignant tumor is somewhat warmer in most instances. As of now it has not been as well studied tnd established as a diagnostic method as has mammography although pre liminary studies indicate it may be of comparable accuracy. It may pick up a tumor missed by mammography and conversely. It is relatively harmless and can be repeated at will.

i Arab-Israeli settlement. Eban. in fact, makes few bones about the fact that no outside power including the United States, which Israel feels let it down badly in the current crisis is going to stand in the way of Israel's own interests now that its arms have carried the day so brilliantly. What this means, then, is that Israel intends to work its way toward regional stability. And that raises the paramount question of whether the Arab states will at long last begin to accept Israel's permanence some 20 years after it won independence.

th; go a HE first miniscule glim mering of how Israel may go about arranging us own security system lies in the tortured indecision of Jordan's King Hussein the last two weeks. Hussein despises Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser almost more than Israel and was saying privately just a month ago that l.e was ready to pull Jordan out of Nasser's Arab League. But when Nasser provoked the Middle East crisis, the King was forced by pressure from Palestinian Arabs inside Jordan to make an alliance with Cairo thereby saving his throne and perhaps his head. Now, with its air force destroyed and its army humbled, Jordan cannot continue a hard line against Israel. The survival of both Hussein and his very nation hangs in the balance.

Thus, Jordan, of all the neighboring Arab states, offers Israel the best target for tl start of a new political arrangement. JORDAN has always wanted a port on the Mediterranean. Highly placed experts in Washington now believe that in exchange for permanent control of the divided city of Jerusalem, now totally in Israel's possession, Israel might well make a trade of a narrow corridor to the Mediterranean across the Negev Desert for Jordan. Incredible as this idea sounds, it has credibility here among experts with close connections to Israel. They flatly predicted that in no case will Israel yield one inch of its new control over Jerusalem.

The point is that Jordan, with it close ties to the U. might, be persuaded to become the" first' neighboring Arab state to do business with Israel. But even before any such radical change is negotiated, the war has already drastically altered the Middle East. U. S.

diplomats are convinced, for example, that the humiliating defeat of the Soviet Union in the last week will make Mos- cow hesitate before renewing its investment both in weap- ons and in political influence-made there the past 10 years.

California EDUCATION beyond high school is needed to qualify for most good jobs. The demand for technical knowledge grows. And the transition from school into the work force is becoming more difficult. In fact, the occupations themselves are changing so fast that people of all ages find it necessary to return to school regularly. Schools can no longer aim at weeding out the unsuccessful.

They must offer each individual something useful and keep him learning. At present the opportunities are there, but it is up to the individual to seek them out. WHEN a job disappears because of automation, or an individual realizes that his original vocational choice was not a good one, he needs to turn to the school for retraining. Rather than stay on a job he dislikes, spending one-third of his awakening hours most days of the year in an unhappy situation, the worker should look for an opportunity to learn new skills.

APACHE TEARS 7 am curious about some little stones called Apache Tears. Do you know anything about them? M. G. Apache Indians of central Arizona named the stones Apache Tear Drops because of a 16th century legend. The Spaniards had trapped a band of Apaches on Picket Post Mountain.

Slavery in Spanish gold mines was their fate, if captured, yet the only retreat was a drop from steep mountain cliffs to certain death. They chose death. When the Spaniards had departed and the squaws came for the bodies of lheir warrior husbands they heard a soft voice murmuring in the breeze: "Thy bitter tears shall be turned into beautiful stones, for I should not have made ABBA EBAN The war in Yemen, the riots in Aden as the British prepare to pull out, the efforts to subvert the Royalists in Saudi Arabia are all Soviet designs to create chaos in the Middle East and destroy U. S. influence.

Nasser was Moscow's most glittering client in the Mideast. Now that he is almost surely finished as a leader of the Arab world, without being rescued by the Soviets, Russian prestige is at a new low with the Arabs. This is Israel's intention: It will not count on new "guarantees" by the United States, which are conveniently overlooked when most It will not put its faith in United Nation emergency "conveniently withdrawn at 'the point of greatest danger. These guarantees undoubtedly will be offered once again, and Israel will accept them. But they will be the superstructure.

The foundation will be Israel's own military power, giving her a new opportunity to negotiate her own future. And the first place to watch, when Israel shifts from war to settlement, is Jordan.

itasaSSSMJ I Bv John C. Metcalfe I 1 By ROBERT II. FELDKAMP Special to The Inquirer and Chizago Daily News WASHINGTON. HERE'S bad news for would-be draft dodgers: The Federal Gmrnment is cracking down more sharply than ever on young men who violate Selective Service (draft) laws. Convictions for the first nine months of fiscal 1967 are 72 percent than for all of 1966 and tv ice as high as 1965.

The Justice Department quickly adds, however, that the number of Americans trying to bea' the draft for various reasons also is up. So far tris fiscal year, draft boards have forwarded to the FBI for lossible prosecution the names of 13,409 men who are believed in violation of draft laws. The total for all of fiscal 1966 was 11,728. What bothers many who are concerned with this growth is the relativc-ly small number of convictions. Even with a tough crackdown by Federal authorities, so far this year tnly about one in 13 so-called "draft delinquents" has been prosecuted and only one in 26 cinvicted and sent to Jail.

Why so few? i IN MOST cases, authorities quickly find Out that the delinquents aren't deliberately trying to ftay out of the militarythey're just careless. Perhaps the best explanation was given May 5 in a statement by Assistant Attorney General Fred M. Vinson, before the House Armed Serv- ices Committee. "A large number of investigations disclose that the registrant's delinquency was not willful, ant; that he was reported delinquent primarily because of failure to keep the local broad advised of his current address," Vinson explained. He said it also becomes obvious, once an investigation starts, that many youths aren't liable for service due to age, family stttus or inability to meet current military physical, mentil or moral standards.

"Further," said Vinson, in many instinces prosecution is declined when examination of the registrant' file discloses that the local board failed to follow strictly the procedural requirements of the (Selective Service) Act and its regulations. "Prosecution cannot be undertaken in those cases because the courts hold that such failure is a denial of due process and invalidates the registrant's classification." HOW does the Justice Department get into a case when a youth is suspected of draft dodging? A spokesman at Selective Service headquarters in Washington explained the key is "reasonable time." "When a kid is ordered to report for induction and doesn't respond within a reasonable time, his local board may declare him a delinquent," he said. "Deciding what's a reasonable time is up to the more than 4000 local boards and, since the circumstances differ widely, each handles it differently. "If the board becomes convinced the youth isn't going to respond, he is reported to the FBI for prosecution. Local boards try to be understanding.

They don't go off half-cocked." Officials also explain that this is why many obvious draft dodgers can get away with ignoring their induction summons for months, sometimes years, before authorities get on their trail. "With more than 13,000 complaints already handed to us this year, we've got a huge backlog of cases awaiting investigation," said a Justice official. Another factor delaying prosecution centers on the way draft laws are written. WHEN the House of Representatives recently passed its bill to extend the draft for four more years it sought to speed up handling of draft evasion cases. An amendment was added directing the Justice Department to proceed "as expeditiously as possible" to prosecute violators, on request of Selective Service officials.

The Senate bill, passed earlier, was silent on any speed up. It isn clear whether the final House-Senate bill will incorporate this amendment..
