next year they will pay about
IL per cent more for married
folks up to $780, and singles
up to $4,000. On higher in

Even the most casual observer could tell you that

CAP 1T AL
SP0 TLIGHT
By MILTON FRIEDMAN

An American military mission
may go to Israel to help train the
Israel army, according to sources
within the Defense Department.
This speculation followed a meet
ing at Istanbul, Turkey, of 18
American ambassadors and min
listers assigned to Near Eastern
countries.
Air Secretary Finletter was
there to develop a string of bases
for US. bOmberS. This was work
ed out in cooperation with the
British who already have base
sites on Cyprus, in Iraq, and all
around Israel. Only time will
tell what the future might hold
for LYDIA air base in Israel. The
Haifa naval potential must have
also been carefully considered.
What the Istanbul conferees
were worried about was under
scored by the presence of Henry
Grady, us. Ambassador to Iran.
American prestige has fallen in
oil-rich Iran and the Soviet threat
to that country is considered seri-
Gus. The Americans were in Is
tanbul to decide what steps to
take should the SovietS grab for
Iranian oil. They wanted to de-
termine the maximum potential
contribution they could count on
from the various Near Eastern
countries.
Shortly after a trip by Prime
Minister David Ben GuriOn to
England, certain categOrieS of
arms were made available to Is
rael by British arSenals. ]. Mi
kardO, Member of Parliament,
The Arizona post., 1951-03-02

went so far as to suggest that
Britain initiate negotiations with
Israel to lease bases in the Negev.
The rapprOachement between
Britain and Israel was obvious.
All was not well within Israel,
however, and some Israelis felt
their country should remain neu-
trail. A Mapam deputy told Ben
Gurion in the Knesset, with re-
ference to Gen. Robertson, "Tell
the general he won't get any bases
here" The Mapam delegates re-
mark was censored in all Israel
newspapers.
Meanwhile, Israel and the us.
grew closer as it was realized that
the interests of both countries
were linked. Both governments
know that Israel needs American
capital. And both governments
knew that, before a much-needed
$500, 100000 grant-in-aid or any
such money is forthcoming, the
us. would be satisfied with Is
rael's cooperation against the So
Wet Union.
1t follows that grant-in-aid
for Israel may be in the offing
and Marshall Plan aid may be
discussed in the not too distant
future. Since Israel may be in
cluded in a Mediterranean Pact,
which would include Greece,
Turkey and other states, it is not
unthinkable that Israel will be
treated on the same basis as
Greece and Turkey. American
military missions and equipment
have made their way to Greece
and Turkey for number of
years.

Dear Editor:
First of all allow me to intro
duce myself: My name is Ida j.
Cohen (Mrs. Samuel Cohen). I
am the membership chairman of
Rishon Pioneer Women.
The reason 1 am writing you is
because l feel that you are largely
responsible for my becoming a
member of the Club, for your very
elegant display of photographs of
the various functions and your
very fine write-ups about Clubs
prompted me one evening to go
to an installation of the Rishon
and Sheva Clubs. l enjoyed it
immensely.
The following day, very gentle
voice said over the phone to me,
'Mrs. Cohen, I appoint you mem
bership chairman for next year
I hope you will take it." Twas so
surprised that words failed me-
Then I said, eyes, of course, I
will take it."
Well, the task ahead seemed
very nice. 1t was up to me to en-
roll members. i. :"
The following are excuses
some of the very lovely ladies
gave me for not being able to join.
81 cannot join because my pres
ent financial condition is due to
the effect of Federal Laws, Muni-
cipal Laws. :"
81 am requested and required
to contribute to every city organ
ization which inventive genius is
capable of devising. :"
For my own safety" another
potential member said, "I must
carry Life Insurance, Accident In
surance. :"
l am supposed to provide mex
haustible supplies of money for
every known need, desire or hope
of the human race"
Says my friend Eloise, when I
asked her to join, Renee ap-
preached me to buy tickets l
refused to give away my dough.
Now 1 suppose 1 will be accused,
discussed, boycotted, talked to,
talked about, lied to, lied about,
held up, held down." and the way
she sounded to me was that she
is being gagged for money until
she is nearly ruined.
The reason l have not given up
the calling on prospective mem
bers is simply because 1 want to
see what the heck they will tell
me next.
Hoping that you will continue
to enjoy the success you so richly
deserve, l remain,
Your constant reader,
