February 6, 1970 THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE Sen. Nelson's Bill for Desalination Grant to Israel Goes to Nixon; Ful bright Protested Sum Israeli Official Urges Recognition of Palestinian Arabs as Infant Nation It was initiated in the House with joint Democratic Republican sponsorship. The sum originally requested was $40 million over a five year period. This was reduced to half and will be made available this year for immediate use. The concept behind the desalting grant was that Israeli expertise would be made available to other nations with similar problems involving water.

Israeli institutions granted funds included nues to meet mounting defense needs. But the average Israeli wage-earner was concerned mostly with how the deal will affect his take-home pay. Several Israeli newspapers did the arithmetic today and found that low salaried employes would gain slightly but those in the higher brackets would suffer a net loss. The newspapers based their conclusions on the present tax schedule without taking into consideration the "slight" increases in indirect levies promised by the Government. Persons earning under $142 a month will gain about $10.50 in take-home pay but those earning $170 a month will only break even.

In the higher brackets, a wage-earner drawing a monthly salary of $420 stands to lose $37 a month in take-home pay. According to the newspapers, this is because the cost of living increment a maximum of $80 a month will be offset by higher payments to the National Insurance Institute, an across-the-board five percent income tax rise and the national defense loan which has been made compulsory. WASHINGTON (JTA) The Senate approved a foreign appropriations bill containing a $20 million, grant for a desalination program in Israel and sums for the Hadassah medical facility and other Israeli institutions. The bill now goes to the White House for the President's signature. Sen.

J. W. Fulbright, of Arkansas, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, protested against the sums for Israel. He said such grants were "pratically dictated by various special interest groups." He said the grants resulted from manipulation by "lobbyists for special interests and foreign governments." The desalting grant was advocated in the Senate by Sen. Gay-lord Nelson, Wisconsin Democrat.

Zimmerman, president of the Jewish Labor Committee, expressed opposition to the confirmation of Judge G. Harrold Cars-well to the Supreme Court.

He said his opposition was in line with that of the AFL-CIO and several civil rights groups which have also opposed the confirmation. Mr. Zimmerman also called on Congress to override President Nixon's veto of the $19.7 billion health, education, welfare and poverty bill. In his letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is holding hearings on the confirmation, Mr. Zimmerman contended that he was not opposing Judge Cars-well for his statement "20 years ago," but "because his judicial opinions show a weak, grudging record on civil rights.

The national effort to give black Americans and other minorities a feeling that they are first-class American citizens will not be advanced by the confirmation of Judge Cars-well." Mr. Zimmerman further charged that "President Nixon's recent nominations to the Supreme Court appear to be designed to appease Southern segregationists." facilities) $4.85 million; Weizmann Institute, $2.5 million; Merkas Ul-panat B.A. Merkaz Lechinuch Ichud, $1.9 million; Beth Yaacov Avat Girls School, $1.2 million; Educational Center of the Galilee, $800,000 and Amana Ulpenat B.A., $600,000. do it, the better it will be for us, for them, for eventual peace." Time notes that Mrs. Meir is on record as saying that there is no such thing as either a Palestinian nation or people.

As for the annexation of territories, Eliav says: "We have annexed Jerusalem. That is a fact that cannot be undone. But we should not annex any more territories." In the interview Eliav also responds to the Israeli hard-line claim of all Palestine on the basis of historical rights: "True, our forefathers lived here and in Jordan. But so did the Arabs. The solution has to be that two states can live equally together.

There is ample place for a Jewish state as big as Holland, with ten million people, and an Arab state as big as Belgium with nine million. I think we should recognize a legitimate Arab national movement." Eliav also argues in the Time interview that of Zionism's three principal goals, only one has been attained the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine. The other two, providing a refuge for all Jews who want or need one and creating a model society based on the Jewish heritage, have not been completely fulfilled. NEW YORK (JTA) A high official of Israel's ruling Labor Party, who says he speaks for Israel's "silent majority," has declared that his country must recognize that the Palestinian Arabs "exist as an infant nation." This radical thought, one of the most controversial that can be expressed in Israel, is in direct contradiction with that of Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Premier.

The idea is expressed in an interview with Time magazine by 48 year old Arie Eliav, newly elected Secretary-General of the Labor Party. In the interview with Time correspondent Marlin Levin, Eliav also expresses another controversial suggestion that Israel must not annex any more territories beyond Jerusalem. Describing himself as a "superdove," Eliav says: "My views are those of the silent majority. There hasn't been a show of hands yet, but I hope that one day there will be." Correspondent Levin's interview with Eliav discussing the radical proposals for unilateral Israeli concessions to the Arabs took place last week in Tel Aviv. Regarding the question of the Palestinian Arabs, Eliav says: "The first thing we have to do is to recognize that the Palestinian Arabs exist as an infant nation.

It is there. We have to recognize them. The sooner we the radio that only an "ignoramus" could argue that the Cabinet had acted to overturn the Supreme Court ruling. He declared that the Supreme Court had held only that the instructions of the Interior Ministry on registration of applicants, requiring withholding of registration of an applicant as a Jew if he or she either had a non-Jewish mother or had not been converted to Judaism under Jewish religious law, were not binding in law. The Minister added that the Cabinet had acted to make such instructions law.

The rabbinate last week issued an "isur Torah" a virtual religious ban, on anyone signing documents designating as Jewish a person who is not Jewish according to religious law. Israel Leads World in Theoretical Physics REHOVOT (ZINS) Israel, despite her smail size, has acquired top world position in theoretical physics. The claim is backed by an unimpeachable authority, Prof. Yuval Neeman, nailed as one of the most important names of the scientific world and rumored to be a candidate for the Nobel Prize. Prof.

Neeman gave the following statement to the Israel daily "During the past three years Israel has had phenomenal success in the field of theoretical physics. The scientific group, consisting in part of my own students and in part the students of Prof. Zvi Lipkin of the Weizmann Institute, has literally outstripped the rest of the field. Legislation (Continued from page 1) live in a remote small township in Europe of many years ago. We have problems and we have a state and the rabbis should consult other people before making decisions." He added that he had asked the Israeli rabbinate to make conversion to Judaism a simpler procedure and not to make "so many difficulties" for those willing to convert to Judaism.

Some members of the party executive attacked him for criticizing the rabbinate. In defending the Cabinet proposal, Minister Shapiro said on Package (Continued from page 1) lems. But he said the alternative was a sharp tax increase and devaluation of the Israel pound in order to stem inflation and protect Israel's dwindling foreign currency reserves. In essence, the package deal promises restraint in wage demands, price rises and tax increases at a time when the Government is sorely pressed for reve Two Saboteurs Get Life TEL AVIV (JTA) Two convicted saboteurs were sentenced to life imprisonment by a military tribunal in Tulkarem.
