NEW YORK (WNS) — Paddy Chayefsky has
demanded the withdrawal of all of his plays scheduled
for television production in France because of "the
behavior of the French government during the recent
Middle East war". Chayefsky declared: "The picture
of France on its knees groveling before the Arab oil-
producing countries has aroused in me so profound a
contempt for France that I no longer wish to have any
of my works done in that country."
TEL AVIV (WNS) — Some 500 Israel Bond Cam¬
paign leaders were told by Finance Minister Pinhas
Sapir that $1 billion in Israel Bonds must be sold to
restore the momentum of Israel's economic growth,
slowed by the Yom Kippur War, and to stimulate in¬
dustrial production in the years ahead. Speaking at the .
1974 International Bonds Conference convened by
Premier Golda Meir, Sapir said the direct cost to
Israel of the war was IL 30 billion and the dislocation of
the economy cost several billions more. He said that
there will not be a resurgence in the economy as after
the Six-Day War since the "October war came at a
time of peak economic effort and the adverse effect oh'
the,economy cannot be overcome because of the fact
that a larger part of the labor force is still in uniform."
WASHINGTON (tyNS) —' Israel Ambassador
Simcha Dlnitz has urged the' National Council of
Jewish Women to join in public and international

prisoners it holds, Speaking before 350 delegates at the
NCJW's joint program institute, he said that "150
Israeli boys are missing in action and we don't know to
this day if they are alive or dead." He urged the NCJW
not to be silent "until every Israeli mother knows
where her son is,"

Crisis In Newsprint Hitting U.S. Daily, Jewish Newspapers
by Philip Slomovltz
Editor, DJN
Vice-President, JTA
DETROIT,  (JTA)   -  A
,crisis in newsprint is not
limited    to    the    daily
newspapers of this country.
The    Jewish    press    is
similarly affected. Thus far
there have been no serious
casualties. The Yiddish
newspapers are appearing;
the magazines have not been
affected, the weekly
English-Jewish periodicals
are publishing. But that's
part of the story. The reason
the monthly magazines and
those printed on heavier or
coated stock are not suf¬
fering is because the costlier
- much costlier - paper they
use is available. But they,
too, may suffer and could
well be pressedHo the wall
for survival  because  of
mounting costs. For the
weekly press it has been a
near-calamity. On several
occasions some weeklies
printed on colored stock -
blue, green, yellow, pink -
whatever was available as
scrap in printing shops;
scrap the printers were
anxious to get rid of. In the
meantime, the papers
suffered. For the first time
in its experience, the Detroit
Jewish News abandoned a
Chanuka issue. It published
a statement with,the names
of  some   300   advertisers,

worker," continues Mrs.
Mellman, "in the formation
of the Golden Age Hobby
Shop, and recently organized
