OSLO (WNS) — U.S. Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger became the second Jew to win the Nobel
Peace Prize when he was named to share the 1973
award with Lp Due. Tho, the North Vietnamese
Politburo, member with whom .Dr. Kissinger
negotiated the Vietnam ceasefire. Rene Cassin of
France, head oi'thei AllianceIsraeliteUniverselle, won
the coveted prize in 1968. Dr, Kissinger is also the
fourth Secretary of State to receive the prize but the
first to do so while still in office. Kissinger commented
on the award by saying: "Nothing could give me more
impetus than to end the war in the Middle East and
move from there to a decent and lasting peace in the
Middle East." *      /
JERUSALEM (WNS) — The Oct. 30 election for the
Knesset has been postponed because of the war. The
Central Elections Committee said the war made it
technically impossible to hold the elections and in
addition it would be detrimental to the war/effort to
have elctions in the midst of hostilities. No new. date
has been set and special legislation will have to be
passed prolonging the life of the present Knesset.
A Gallup poll survey on the attitude of Americans
toward the Middle East war showed that 44 percent
supported Israel, six percent supported the Arabs, 22
percent backed neither side and 25 percent expressed
-no opinion.

COLUMBUS OHIO —
Calling the problem of
American energy needs
"solvable" without Arab oil,
the Aiiti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith has made
jmblic a comprehensive
analysis of the "emergy
crisis" and announced "a
nationwide campaign to
counter Arab propaganda."
The analysis, printed as a
pamphlet, "Oil and U.S.
Mideast Policy," points out
that current Arab oil im¬
portation is approximately
only 4 percent of America's
total oil needs and declares
that "the U.S. should not,\
need not and must not
submit to Arab oil blackmail
aimed at forcing a reversal
of American support for
Israel."
"Neither Israel nor U.S.
policy toward the Middle
Eastern nations has any
relevance to the energy
This Sunday, October 28 is
the date set for calling
prospective blood donors for
the semi-annual Jewish
Community Blood Drive.
Members of the Columbus
Jewish Community will be
contacted and asked to
donate about 1 hour of time
and 1 unit (pint) of blood to
supply the quota for the Red
Cross Blood Bank in which
ttie Jewish Community is
able to participate.
Calling will take place
between the hours of 10:00
AM and 2:00 PM. The goal is
to reach as many eligible
donors in the Jewish Com¬
munity as possible to inform
them of Blood Donor Day.
B-Day this fall is Wed¬
nesday, November 7 from
noon until 6:00 PM at the
Jewish Center. Free
babysitting is provided, and
donors are served a hearty
snack after giving blood.
Workers on the Red Cross
Bloodmobile are pleasant
and very competent. Many
people consider B-Day a
rewarding experience in
which they wish to par¬
ticipate again and again.
However, there is a great
need for new donors to fill

L. Adlerstein, Regional
Director of the League.
Making a distinction bet¬
ween "Long foreseeable"

Arab oil supplies, he said
Arab linkage of the two is "a
phony issue."       ;

chairman, calls for reducing
the growing energy demands
of American industry and
consumers to "what is
available and practicable."
Declaring that Americans
"shall have to demonstrate
ability to make small
sacrifices of convenience for.
the greater national in¬
terest," he suggests "a
combination of methods'' for
accomplishing U.S. self-
sufficiency in energy:   -
— Increased use of
automobiles which get at
least 20 miles to the gallon
instead of six or eight.
— Compelling public
utilities and other big in¬
dustrial consumers of
energy to turn increasingly
to the use of low sulphur coal
instead of oil.
—Where only high sulphur
poal is available, installing
sulphur extraction processes
now available to limit air
pollution.
— Rescheduling airlines to',
eliminate  duplication  of
flights.'
— Increased public
transportation.
s —  Crash  programs   for
recovery of oil. from  the
Continental Shelf,  for  the
gasification of coal, for the. '
extraction of oil from shale", •'

JTA UN Correspondent
UNITED NATIONS,
(JTA) — Israeli Foreign
Minister Abba Eban
declared on Oct. 17 that "in
return for a cease-fire Israel
will give a cease-fire" and in
return for peace Israel will
give "most substantial
compromises." Speaking at
a luncheon of tiie United
Nations Correspondents
Association, Eban stressed
that the return of Israeli
prisoners of war is an
"absolute condition" for a
cease-fire. He said Israel
will consider any cease-fire
proposal when one comes..
Referring to Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat's
missile rattling speech,
Eban termed it "ridiculous"
and described it aB "ex¬
tremely hardening an
already extreme position."
He said Sadat wants Israel to
put itself in "full
vulnerability" and then he
will offer not peace, but a
cease-fire. Eban said there
was no proposals for a cease¬
fire and the reason is "un¬
justified euphoria" by the
Egyptians! In his opening
remarks, Eban dismissed
the Arab claim that there
was no alternative to war.
He reiterated that before the
war broke out that there was
an agreement that after the
Israeli elections Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger
would discuss with the Arabs
and Israel procedures
toward negotiations. In¬
stead, he said, the Arabs
