Mr.. Sharett's declaration cap
ped a week Of major develop
ments in Israel's foreign affairs Of
which the following were the high
points:
l. The State Department mott
fled Israel that the Jewish State
will receive no further economic
aid for the fiscal year. Israel had
been told it would receive from
$55 millions to $40 millions. TIE
cutoff came as Israel aid reached
a total of $50 millions.
2. The Foreign Operations Ad-

3. DR.. Peretz Bernstein, Israel
Minister of Commerce, told Gen

When I wrote in the Rosh Hashonah issue of
the 1858 Southern Jewish Weekly, told of the
Soviet Party line, maneuvering their tactics to-
ward the Russian Jews and toward Jewish prob
lens, to suit the party needs When the Party
Line stipulated Jewish region in the Crimea
and Jewish autonomous region in BRO Bidzhan,
with promise of a Jewish republic when the
Jewish population reached the number of 10000,
this promise was revoked, for this step no
longer necessary. The Yiddish theater was closed,
the Yiddish press was abolished, and Yiddish
writers either imprisoned or simply liquid
ated. When wrote of these things was called a
reactonary, renegade of liberalism, and more
such flowery names, by my friends. was told
that what was saying was not the truth.

U. S. Denies Plan to
Drop Bennike
The Western proposals had been
submitted to Mr.. Sharett by the
American and British Ambassa-
doris. The French envoy later
called at the Israel Foreign Minis
try to announce that his govern
ment associated itself with the
proposals.
In Washington. the State De-
partment insisted that the pro-
posals did not embodY major
changes in the truce observance
structure. The Department said:
Reports from the Near East
have indicated that the United
States and Great Britain have
proposed new plan for extend
ing the powers of the United Ma
tons truce organization in the
area to deal with problems exist
ing with Israel and the Arab
states. There is no change being
recommended concerning this
United Nations truce supervisory
organization and no recommends
ton has been made concerning
the possible replacement of Gen.
Vagn Bennike. The present pro-
posals are simply another of
series of considerations which are
from time to time put to interest
ed parties for their consideration
to help lessen border strife"
J Mr.. Sharettis reply was OUT
lined in his speech this week be-
fore the convention Of the General
Zionist Party of Israel. He laid
down Israel's four-point condi-
tions for agreement on any pro-
posal for Middle East peace and
stability.

arm having a problem: Am I
a Jew or Hebrew? It's really not
an awfullY distressful problem.
because I have thought of myself
as a Jew all the years of my long
life. and have enjoyed it: except
momentarilY. on occasions when
hear about people who speak the
word Jew as if they were splitting
il out. It's so much easier to spit

So had been going along most
satisfactorily as Jew until the
other day. 1 was strolling peace
fully along the main street of our
suburb when through the big win
dow of Loretta's delicatessen and
restaurant, I got a reckoning that
invited me to come in.
The invitation was from for
mer neighbors of mine. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert Harris who were dining
al Loretta's. They wanted to tell
me proudly about their son Bobby
who is a corporal in Korea. They
told me this and that of BobbY's
military career. and thus. all of a
Sudden they caused this problem
Jew or Hebrew?-to impinge
upon me.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris weren't
feeling any too serious about the
question; they were. giving it to
me more by way of laughing, and
it's a good thing to introduce
laughter in Jewish life once in
awhile; especially in Jewish col
umns. Il can say though, without
fear of successful contradiction
that this is the only Jewish col
umn that gives out laughs or
tries to-
Yes. the HAIRLESS had been say

in the head by shell fire. had been
given a Purple Heart for that. and

was over there.
"But, anyway, Bobby is having
an awful problem" Mr.. Harris
winked. "He just can't *be sure
who he is in the Army. You
might say he is the only Jew in
the U. S. Army, yet he can't feel
too sure"
What do you tell me. Mr.. Har-
ris? The Army is full of Jews. just
as full in proportion. as of Catho-
lies and Protestants."
Me-. Harris replied, eyes, that's
very true but l insist: Bobby Is
the only Jew. All the others are
Hebrews"
Mrs. Harris explained: Every
soldier wears around his throat a
dog tag. as il is called. by which
his religion is identified. A Catho-
lie carries a c on his dog tag. a
Protestant a P and Jew an H
which means he is a Hebrew. If
the soldier falls in battle they will

Only Corporal Bobby Harris

Of 800 at the new Air Force
Academy. don't plan on an easy
four years.
Although the Air Force hasn't
completed all the details of the
course Of training you'll take.
It has laid down the broad out
line Of a course that looks plenty
tough.
When the class gets started in
July, 1855, you'll face a course
which covers almost everything
In the liberal arts and social
science fields and many aspects
Of the technical sciences.
You'll have English, history,
geography, literature, philosophy,
psychology, military history. mil
itary law, economics, govern
ment, international relations
and foreign languages. Techni-
cal subjects will be related to the
field of aeronautics.
Third Year Mechanics.
The first two years will be
devoted primarily to mathe-
matics, chemistry and physics.
In the third year., you'll go into
mechanics, mechanics of mate
rial and electrical engineering
The senior year will cover
hermodynamics, jet propulsion,
aerodynamics and aircraft de-
sign.
AS an integral part Of your
four years, you'll also be taking
what the Air Force calls "air-
manship training" Included in
this will be everything not In
cluded in the academic course.
It's broken down into four broad
training programs: Basic train
ing, physical training, flying
training and leadership training.
The basic course will cover the
ground training which the Air
Force believes is necessary to an
air officer. It will include drills
and ceremonies, Workmanship,
practice marches, minor in
fantry tactics and military
hygiene.
The physical training program
will be largely intramural ath-
letics, with emphasis on foot
ball, baseball and basketball.
'ChuteS Come First.
Flying training is divided into
three parts. The first part will
come during the first two months
you're in the academy. You'll
be given a parachute and told
how to use it. You'll take local
plane flights as a passenger, and
when you're not in the air you'll
spend much time along the fly
ing lne-in hangers, machine
shops, operations Offices, etc.
You'll also be taught to clean
and service aircraft and many
other types of ground crew work.
The second phase will be an
aircraft observers course. This
will run through your first three
years. It will involve 355 hours
Of ground instruction and I'll
hours of actual flying. After
you've completed this phase of

The fourth course under "air-

This will be taught both in a
practical way and through the
