Israel’s Minister of Social Welfare. Dr. Joseph Burg, visited this West Bank town yesterday to inaugurate three new social welfare stations in surrounding villages. He said his Ministry was placing IL 4 million ($1.1 million) at the disposal of the Military Government for aid to social cases. Dr. Burg was greeted by Sheikh Ali Jaabri, Mayor of Hebron, who deplored last Sunday’s fatal shooting of an Israeli border policeman in the local market place and dissociated himself from the crime.
