Israel Troops Move
Into DemiIitorized
Zone to Check Egypt

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - Israel
troops have moved into the de-
militarized Eli Auja zone near the
GAIA border in a move designed
to force Egyptian compliance with
the terms of the armistice agree
ment and with previous promises
to remove two military posts IL
legally within the zone. The Is
raelis took up positions inside Is
rael territory, but in the demili-
tarized zone set up by the Armis-
tice pact. Israel patrols guarded
the area and United Nations OBJ
sewers arrived to investigate the
situation. UN truce chief Maj.
Gen. E. L. NJ Burns, who was
scheduled to go to Cairo, changed
his plans and remained here. He
called at the Israel Foreign Min
istry to seek "full explanation"
of the move.
The Israel troops have been in
structed to observe the cease-fire
and Israel has indicated its will
ingness to withdraw them when
Egypt removes its two posts. Is
rael also charged that the Egyp-
tians have been destroying border
markers erected in the area by an
Israel surveying team which has
been accompanied by UN observ-
ers. The surveyors h ave come
under fire from the two Egyptian
outposts, Israel charged in a state
ment by Foreign Ministry
spokesman who announced the
move.

Thus said Eban, "the main solution to the
problem of tension is first outlined in full stature
and then seriously compromised by being made
dependent on what may well be an unattainable
condition"
Ebans genius for logic touched on the very
point in the Dulles proposal about which the State
Department is most sensitive. For this was to be
the emergency exit through which the Depart
ment could retreat when called on to provide the
security guarantees Dulles grandiosely outlined
The only salvation of the Dulles plan, in the
Israel view, is to disengage it from the elusive
precondition of Arab frontier agreement The Uni
ted States guarantees the frontier between the East
and West zones of Germany and the armstice
demarcation line dividing North and South Korea
Universal agreement certainly does not exist on
these boundaries. Yet U. S. security commitments
agreement by the Arabs to Israels borders? That's
what Israel wants to know.
Dulles referred to boundary changes. These
might be minor mutual adjustments. But Israel has

can official thinking i'm Dulles assertion that the
difficulty is increased by the fact that even terri

rgated with Israel blood Israel will not surrender
an inch of it to appease Egyptian hate, especially
now that oil has been discovered there.

Hyman Weintraub's was alto
gether different from any funeral

ing the funeral home, we mourn
ers found Hyman Weintraub's
body stretched on a board be-
tween two low metal supports. No
coffin at all.
The body was entirely wrapped
in Weintraub's prayer shawl and
some other garment that looked
like long coat. down TO his toes.
The talith also covered his face.
That was HYman Weintraub as I
saw him for the last time. after
the many years I knew him as the
fine gentleman he was.
We waited for the service to
start, and the whispered talk was
all about the humble way Hyman
Weintraub was going from among
us. Everybody was saying such
humility never had been seen be-
fore even at most Orthodox flu
neralS. At other funerals there al
ways had been a pine coffin, any
way.
Then DR.. Josef Weintraub-he
is Lyman Weintraub's son-arose.
He had a letter in hand. He ex-
planned: This was a letter his

opened until his death. Dr.. Vein

man Weintraub was saying there
that he wished TO be buried with
out coffin: so that his body could
be returned to the earth just as
it was. His face was to be kept
covered from the sight of the
mourners. He would wear his
faith in his grave.
So the service began. / can't

Doorstep Packages
When the evening Of this
day comes the excitement
reaches a climax. Mysterious
things may happen. There
will be knocks on the door
but when it is opened nobody
is there, but a package lies on
the door step.
1t is always wrapped in a
strange way, perhaps a cab
bage followed out and the gift
buried in the center. There
is always a verse with it and
the recipient must read it out
loud. This is accompanied
with giggles and blushes.
When the early Dutch set
tiers came to this country
they brought their st. Nicho-
las with them and the British
settlers brought old Father
Christmas. The two became
one-Santa Claus.
Our jolly fat man took lis
name from st. Nicholas who
is often called "Sinterklaas"
and who knows, maybe they
are one and the same? Twenty
days would be plenty of time
to get from Holland to the
United States. especially in
these days of flying saucers.
