struction, it was reported here.
The MISUNDERSTANDING sp a C e
probe, designed to collect weather
data, will be Israers third rocket

Meanwhile, it was disclosed that
a large West European country has

quantity of meteorological rockets.
Neither the name of the country

Israel has not yet officially con-

was learned, Israel may derive
great income from the sale of rock

be turned out within a reasonable

Among the events of the Hebrew
year 5721, there was one which
though undramatic and soon taken
for granted represents a m ] E.
stone in the history of Jewish
philanthropy and most likely in the
history of philanthropy as whole; |;
the granting of a $65, 200, 900 debt
liquidation loan to the United jew
ish Appeal and 40 American Jew
ish communities around the coun-
try.
The collateral for this loan - a
stable amount even by CONNER
cial standards = is, technically
speaking, an intangible asset.
There is no plant, no building, no
commercial enterprise or personal
property to secure it. Yet behind
this loan stands tradition of char
ity which dates back over 1000
years, as well as the Embarrassing
structure of local American jew
ish Federations and Welfare Funds
which have been pioneers in the
field of federated Embarrassing IN
the United States.
AMERICAN businessmen, Jews
as well as non-Jews, have always
been among the leaders of chari-
table and philanthropic enterprises.
Yet it is one thing for a man to

Eban Praises
| ate U.S.. Gen.
BedeII Smith

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - Highest
praise of the late American Gen.
Walter Bedell Smith, who died in
Washington, was voiced here by
Israeps Minister of Education
Abba Eban. The latter knew Gener-
al Smith intimately during the
years Mr.. Eban served as Israeli
ambassador to the United States.
General Smith, who has been call
ed by ex-President Dwight D. Els
enhower "the general manager of
World War H. was among the
outstanding Allied military experts
during the war.
Eban disclosed for the first time
that Smith told him at a dinner in
Washington once, lin a burst OF
emotion" that there was Jewish
blood in his veins. He never saw
the living Israel" Eban declared,
in a eulogy of the general in the
Jerusalem Post, "but the Israel
idea conquered his heart and il
Illuminated his vision" General
Smith was a Catholic.
''It is difficult to convey" Eban
wrote, "how intimately, though
anonymously, Gen. Bedell Smith
was entangled in our affairs. His
counsel could be harsh as well as
amiable, but there was no major
issue in which we did not ask our
selves - and sometimes ask him -
what Bedell Smith thinks"
Eban disclosed that Smith con-
graduated IsraePs Moshe Dayan on
the latter's conduct of the Sinai
campaign in 1856. Prior to that
campaign, Eban stated, Smith had
treated Dayan to "a soldierly dia-
tribe" against a policy of retalia-
tory military actions. But after the
Sinai campaign, Smith sent Dayan
copy of his memoirs, dedicating
the book "to the Israel general
who did what 1 could not have
DONE"

projects as a private citizen, ana
quite another to commit CONNER

banking institution. Whatever his
heart may tell him, his business
Judgment must overrule all Sentl-
ment.
This wear. the collective business
Judgment of responsible officers OF
SO banks throughout the Uniteo
States has found American Jewish
philanthropy a sound debtor Tor a
SCI. .OOO. 900 loan. This is no small
tribute to the philanthropic perfor-
nance of a community which IN
contrast to most European Jewish
communities, never contributed any
taxing or other coercive power.
More specifically, it is a tribute
to United Jewish Appeal, an IN
stitution VIII C h has become so
much of a household word in JewA
ish homes across this country that
one seldom stops to reflect upon its
unique character.
IN RECENT months, 1sraefs re-
markable economic progress has
drawn increasing attention to the
investment possibilities which are
rapidly opening up in this y o u n g
nation. Many of the bankers par
ticipating in the $65, 900, 900 loan
rroiect had seen this economic de-
veIopnent at first hand through the
annual Banks Study Missions under
the leadership of Gottlieb Ham
mer. executive vice chairman OF
the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc.
Yet. having seen Israel and the
work of the Jewish Agency there,
they knew fully well that the
agency. though in sense contrib
uting to IsraePs economic devel-
opment, could never in any way
benefit from it. They knew that
the Jewish Agency was not only
non-profit organization but an or
ganization specifically designed to
do what investment capital would
never dare to undertake.
Thus, the United Jewish Appeal
and the 40 communities participat-
ing in the $65, 200, 900 loan project
were. in a way, an unusual Glen
tele: a group presenting itself as
a potential major borrower of COM
mercial funds, yet making it per-
fectly clear that it expected no IL
nancial return from these antici-
pated borrowings. There was moth
ing to sell, nothing to commit but
that abiding commitment to save
and rebuild Jewish lives which, for
over two decades, has served as
the basis for a sustained f u n d.
raising record.
THE DEBT liquidation loan rep
resents milestone also in terms
of national Jewish cooperation and
coordination. While individual COM
munities had taken bank loans
on behalf of the UJA in the past,
this was the first time that loan
effort was coordinated on a ma
tional level. Each bank made its
participation dependent on the par
ticipation of all others, so that the
total amount needed would be
available at one and the same time.
Men like Samuel D. Leidesdorf
of New York, Max M. Fisher of
Detroit, and Albert Levin of Cleve-
land. spent many arduous weeks
laying the groundwork for this
unique effort, while top leadership
in each community followed up
with individual negotiations wi t h
local banks. To witness the eager
ness of each community to make
this project succeed, to meet the
