seat at the front of the plane, and
comes toward us as we stand IN a
corner. "Bill," says his friend
from Atlanta, "tell us something
about yourself and about your life
in Israel"
The pilot, an imposing figure IN
his gold-striped uniform, smiles
shyly, like Schoolboy.

am an ordinary Jewish boy, born

her with my friend Barney Me-
dintz, of the B'nai Birth Youth
Organization.
But the war broke out, and
young Bill Katz had to forget At
ianta. He entered military service.
During the war years he was
bomber pilot, fighting the Nazis,
and he directed the bombing OF
many German cities and military
positions.
He was discharged few years
after the war, but just then the
Arabs began their war against
Israel. He was schooled as pilot,
he had combat experience, he was
Jew-and so he was drawn to
help the Jews in Israel to win
their struggle.
The Israel Air Force was then
new and poor-poor in planes and
in experienced fliers. And so he
remained there until he was no
longer needed.
He left the military flying SER
vice in Israel, but he did not want
to leave Israel itself. During the
time he had served as a military
pilot and air base commander, the
Jewish state had become part OF
his existence.
"And you really don't want to go
back to American" ask him with
curiosity. -.

leader from Atlanta.
One does not have to beg him
too long to make him explain what
he means. With pride and pleasure
he exclaims:
"Just imagine, the pilot of our

but a member of my basketball

Medintz was coach of the basket

They had not seen one another
since the outbreak of World War
II. And now, after many years OF
separation, they have met again,
high in the sky aboard an FL Al

Atlanta's Jewish community, and
the other a pilot who has MADE
his home in Israel.

New Crises Are Feared
For North African Jews

NEW YORK, (JTA) - A period
of insecurity and uncertainty"
for the Jews of North Africa was
foreseen by Moses A. Leavitt, ex-
ecutive vice-chairman of the Joint
Distribution Committee, upon his
return to the United States, after
a three-month survey of JDC oper-
ationS overseas.
"As a result of recent economic
and political developments in
North Africa and other Moslem
Countries" Leavitt declared,
"there may be new emergencies
requiring assistance for thousands
of men, women and children.
1.-THE Jews in these areas look
today to American Jewry for as
sistance in surviving during the
next period of insecurity and un-
certainty. This aid is vital in help
ing them to become healthy useful
elements in North Africa if they
remain, or in Israel if they go
there"
Emphasis Shifts
Leavitt, whose overseas survey
tour took him to South America,
Israel and Europe, attended the
recent JDC country directors con-
ference in Paris. Pointing to a
sharp decrease during the past Sc
veral years in the number of dis
placed persons requiring JDC aid
in Germany, Austria and Italy, he
indicated that JDC's major job in
Europe today is "the strengthen
ing of communities and community
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1954-12-17

institutions, as well as a growing
emphasis on rehabilitation pro-
grams designed to make needy
Jews economically self-sufficient. !"
He predicted that within the near
future JDC might be able to re-
duce the volume of its aid to these
areas and prepare for its eventual
withdrawal. He noted the outstand-
ing contribution made by Malben,

of aged, ill and handicapped new

America, certainly the husband S
earnings are small. But the spirit
of the land gives her husband a
special satisfaction. And when her
husband is happy, she is happy.
Living in Israel gives both of them
raison d'etre.
The child was born in the mean
time, and from America there be-
gan to come letters, begging her
to take her child and her husband
back to New York. But who needs
New York? Who says that living
with rich parents on Central Park
West in New York is more inter
esting than the poor life on the
edge of Tel Aviv? Money is i'm
portant, but spiritual freedom is
even more important. And one can
feel spiritually free as Jew only
in Israel, never in America, even
if one was born there, even when
one is born in an aSSimilated fami-
ly.
Her wealthy mother in New York
cannot understand that. She is now
preparing to come to Israel to see
things with her own eyes. 1t is
certain that she will make an at
tempt to take her and her husband
and her child back home to Ameri-
ca. But she will have to return

will not feel different" because in
