JERUSALEM (WNS) — Justice Minister Yaacov
Shimshon Shapiro, who earlier had called for the
resignation of Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, has
resigned himself. The top candidate to succeed him is
the chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and
Defense Committee, Haim Zadok, who is one of the
country's leading lawyers. Zadok served as Commerce
Minister in a previous government.
GENEVA (WNS) — An Austrian Ministry of Interior
spokesman announced here that the Schoenau Castle
camp for Soviet Jewish emigrants will be closed and
replaced by a new camp at Traiskirchen, 12 miles
south of Vienna. The new camp will be operated by the
International Committee for European Migration in
Geneva and no longer by the Jewish Agency.
The spokesman said the new camp will be a transit
point at which refugees "will spend a few hours at the
most" and not days as at Shoenau.
JERUSALEM (WNS) — Since the outbreak of war
1,000 young volunteers, half from the United States and
the rest mainly from Britain and Europe came to
Israel and are working on kibbutzim replacing
mobilized members. Mordechai Bar-Ow, head of the
World,Zionist Organization youth and halutz depart¬
ment, told a Zionist Executive meeting that another
1000 youths are expected. All paid their own fare and
will stay for at least six months.'
PARIS (WNS) — Since the start of the Mideast war
there has been no news from Jews in Damascus and all
Jewish" ttieri in the town of Aleppo have been im¬
prisoned and their wives and children put under house
arrest, according to diplomatic sources here. There
are 3,500 Jews still living in Syria from a population of
' 30,000 in 1946 and their existence was "precarious"
even before the present crisis.
Israeli Prisoners Of War Issue
Still Not Completely Resolved
By David Landau
JTA Jerusalem
Correspondent
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —
Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan revealed in the
Knesset on Oct. 30 that an
exchange of wounded
prisoners of war with Egypt
is already under way. But
that is only the first of four
demands concerning POWs
that Israel has presented to
Egypt,   Dayan   said.   The
other three, so far not im¬
plemented, are for full lists
of names of POWs, per¬
mission for Red Cross
representatives to visit
Israeli POWs in Egyptian
hands and a full POW ex¬
change. Dayan said that
about 320 Israeli soldiers
were missing on the
Egyptian front and
presumably were taken
prisoner. Egypt so far has
submitted 82 names which

Premier Golda Meir Meets President Nixon
Asserts No Pressure On Israel From U.S.

WASHINGTON (WNS) —
In the wake of reports here
and in Jerusalem that the
United States is pressuring
Israel for concessions,
Israeli Premier Golda Meir
flew to Washington for
clarifications. After holding
a breakfast meeting with
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger followed by an 80-
minute meeting in the White
House with President Nixon
and Dr. Kissinger, Mrs. Meir
denied that.there was any
U.S. pressure on Israel.
However, before leaving
Jerusalem it was reported
that the Premier wanted to
see where U.S. pressure,
which was not yet intense,
was leading to; to learn what
issues the U.S. would rather
press Israel than confront
the Soviet Union and to what
extent Israel can look to
American support in the
diplomatic struggle ahead.
In Washington, Mrs. Meir
told a press conference that
the U.S. and Israel were
united in their desire to
preserve the ceasefire and to
achieve a settlement in the
region. She said she and
Nixon discussed the Oct. 22
ceasefire lines but no one
really knew where they
existed.
Earlier it was announced
that Dr. Kissinger will visit
four Arab capitals on his
way to the People's Republic
of China and Assistant
Secretary of State Joseph J.
Sisco will visit two others
and Israel. Iraq and Syria
have reportedly rejected
Kissinger's request to visit
them, Nixon met Egyptian
Foriegn Minister Moham¬
med Zacharia Ismail before
he met with Mrs. Meir. Fah-
mi, who had gone to Austria
to congratulate its. govern¬
ment for closing down the
center for emigrating Soviet

CJF 1974 Campaign Launched
at Traiskirchen, 12 miles
south of Vienna, will be
operational, but "not later
than two weeks from now."
The new camp, the
spokesman said, will serve
as a transit point at which
the refugees ''will spend a
few hours at the most." The
refugees, the spokesman
said, will leave Vienna
aboard EI Al charters which
will call twice a day and be
able to pick up some 200
refugees daily. About 150-180
Soviet refugees arrive every
day in the Austrian capital, a
larger figure than before the
outbreak of the Yom Kippur
War.
On October 7, 1973, due to
the outbreak of hostilities in
the Middle East, caused by
the surprise attack on Israel
from Egypt and Syria, world
Jewry responded to. the
crisis and the emergency
with financial support for the
humanitarian needs of Israel
while all/--of Israel's
resources were directed
toward military purposes.
Columbus  Jewry,   through
the Columbus Jewish
Federation; formerly the
UJFC, responded im¬
mediately like all other
federations throughout the
country. Fortunately, the
Columbus Jewish
Federation had, in a large
measure, intact, its 1973
campaign leadership as well
as the formation of its 1974
campaign leadership. It was
immediately brought into
action.
Initially, the dramatic
events called for a massive
response of cash to be
derived from the pledges of
1973 and from balances due
from  prior years.  In  ad¬
dition, there were those who
responded with additional
gifts above and beyond their
1973 donations, many as
special gifts for the
emergency. Others were
prepared to respond with
unprecedented' large gifts
representing their donations
for 1974 for both the Regular
Fund and the Israel
Emergency Fund.
In the subsequent weeks
which followed, it became
quite obvious that the
Emergency Campaign was
the prelude for the 1974
Campaign. The Columbus

THE.DIPLOMATIC SCENE
U.S. Pressure On Israel?
By Joseph Polakoff
JTA Washington
Bureau Chief
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
Ttie impression seemed to be
gaining here on Oct. 30 that
the United States, itself
under severe international
and some domestic strain, is
putting pressures on Israel
to back down from its hard-
won military and political
positions. While little hard
evidence , was, publicly
visible,   knowledgeable
observers      held      that
Washington is saying in
effect to Israel-"We saved
you from the Arabs and the
Russians with our' weapons
and veto power in the UN.
Now you listen to us and
start moving towards  a
quick and practical solution
with  the   the   Arabs-you<
Noy^g,  1967."  President,'
Nii&nmlTSeocetary of State'
Henry  A.  Kissmger have'
reiterated, since Egypt and
Syria attacked Israel on Oct.
6, the longstanding U.S.
commitment to Resolution
242 and now it appears that
the Administration is about
to go through with insistence
that Israel comply with it.
Domestic, European and
Japanese fears of an oil
boycott and the problems
associated with that, the
fragility pf Soviet-American
detente * which underlies
much of the Nixon Ad¬
ministration's viability, and
the U.S. desire to return to
friendly relations with the

research on Hebrew
education, special courses
for training teachers of
Hebrew, services to Hebrew
schools of Columbus, and
other matters.
The Designated
Professorship was formally
established by the Board of
Trustees last May. A gift of
$100,000 through the
university's Development
Fund, pledged over the next
five years by the United
Jewish Fund and Council of
Columbus, will support the
new faculty position.
