SERVING THE HOUSTON COMMUNITY

WAR OR NO WAR
TRADE CONTINUES
Jerusalem, (JTA)—The Is-
rael Finance Ministry said this
week that it intended to permit
the continuation of unofficial
trade between Israel and Jor-
dan, despite acts of terror and
civil disobedience by residents
of the occupied west bank.
Vegetables and other produce
of the west bank move daily
across the Jordan River to be
marketed on the east bank.
Mayors of six west bank
towns pledged they would make
every effort to reopen all their
schools. Most of the schools in
their towns have been boycott-
ed by the Arab teachers, who
refuse to work under the Is-
raeli regime or with the curri-
cula and new textbooks intro-
duced by the Israeli authorities.
The mayors were from the
towns of Nablus, Tulkarm,
Jenin, Salfit, Tubas and Ibta.
They met with Gen. Moshe
Dayan, the Minister of De-
fense. After pledging coopera-
tion in the educational field,
they requested that the strict
curfew in their area be lifted.
Stringent curfews were estab-
a

lished in their town recently,
after Arab businessmen con-
ducted a general strike, shut-
ting their shops on orders
broadcast by the Jordanian ra-
dio. The mayors asked Gen.
Dayan to adjust their region’s
curfews to the same levels op-
erative in the rest of the west
bank area.
The last two of East Jeru-
salem’s 24 elementary schools
opened this week with attend-
ance just under 50 per cent,
officials reported. Other schools
reported that attendance was
continuing to rise with an over-
all average of 80 per cent at-
tendance. That total is only
slightly less than was averaged
when the area was under Jor-
danian control before the June
war. The Jordanians have a
compulsory schooling law, but
it was largely unenforced in
East Jerusalem.

Four Jews Chosen For
Ontario Provincial Parliament;
Three Are Incumbents
Toronto, Oct. 22. (JTA)—
Four Jewish members of the
Ontario Parliament were elect-
ed or reelected in Ontario gen-
eral elections, according to tab-
ulations completed yesterday.
Three were incumbents. They
are Alan Grossman, Minister of
Reform Institutions in the Pro-
gressive Conservative Govern-
ment, Toronto; Vernon Singer,
deputy leader of the Liberal
opposition party, who defeated
his Jewish opponent, Murray
Chusid, of the New Democratic
Party by only 27 votes, in
Downsview, a Toronto suburb;
and Stephen Lewis, of the
New Democratic Party from
Scarboro West, another Tor-
onto suburb.
The new Jewish member is
Morton Shulman, a physician,
known as Toronto’s “fighting
coroner." A former Conserva-
tive, he joined the New Demo-
cratic Party and won a seat
from Toronto-High Park. Be-
cause of the closeness of the
vote in the Singer-Chusid con-
test, a recount has been sched-
uled. The only constituency in
the contests with a substantial
Jewish vote is that of Downs-
view, where Jews constitute 40
percent of the voters.

sounds,” Cutrer said, “the city
is busted.”
Mr. Cutrer stated that when
he left the city on January 2,
1946, there was approximately
$10 million in the general sur-
plus fund, $8% million in the
water surplus fund and approx-
_ imately $60 million in bond
funds.
In the meantime, by voting
in the Hospital District, the
City picked up another $5 mil-
lion annually. In addition, there
have been severable sizeable tax
increases during the Welch ad-
ministrations, one being a gen-
eral tax increase by raising the
assessed valuation for tax pur-
poses of all property to 40%.
Mr. Cutrer said it is high
time the City government starts
living within its means again.
He added that, though the pres-
ent deplorable financial condi-
tion would make it difficult, he
would make sure the city lives
within its income, and not in
the red as at present.
Another major issue in Cut-
rer’s campaign, and one high
on his list of priorities, is fight-
ing crime. He said it is frighten-

ri
disposal, with particular em-
phasis on composting plants in
highly developed residential
areas, enormous, overruns on
public jobs and negotiating
public contracts, mass transit,
salary raises for all city em-
ployees, high traffic deaths,
and several other matters.
He promised a very lively
campaign and stated he feels
sure the people of this City
will respond to these vital is-
sues and he discusses them over
the news media throughout the
campaign.
Cutrer Throws Hat
Into Mayoralty Race
Former Mayor Lewis Cutrer
tossed his hat into the ring for
the office of Mayor of the City
of Houston Wednesday, Octo-
ber 18.
“I am putting the money on
the line and my faith in the
people of this great city,” he
said.
Commenting on Mayor
Welch’s statement that the City
had many problems, Cutrer
said he fully agreed. “And
many of the serious and vital
problems confronting our city
were caused by the present
Mayor,” he said.
He pointed out that it is no
novel experience for him to be
in a campaign for Mayor
against Welch. This will be
the sixth time they have been
in opposition for the office. The
first three times, Cutrer won.
Cutrer also noted that it is
no new experience for him to
deal with and solve city prob-
lems. During the six years he
served as Mayor, 1958 through
1963, and the six years he
served as City Attorney, 1941
through 1946, he dealt with
virtually every conceivable
problem confronting cities.
He feels that he is, through
training and experience, more
than able to deal with and
solve such problems.
One of the major campaign
issues in this campaign, accord-
ing to Cutrer, deals with city
finance. “As incredible as it
