Israel Feels More Secure, Confident Following Vice President Bush's Visit Israeli-Made Radiation Detector Selling Well In Europe JERUSALEM (JTA) — An Israeli-made pocket- sized radiation detector is selling well in Europe as a result of fears following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. There have been so many orders for the $140 detector that the Amcor Company has had to add extra shifts to meet demand which -has increased ten-fold since Chernobyl.

He was a grand master in the So- viet Union and his wife was also a noted chess player. Upon their arrival in Israel, both volunteered to start playing at once and represent Israel at international games. JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israel as a whole had a markedly more secure and confident feeling last week, after Vice President George Bush's visit here. The man who may well be the next U.S. President and leader of the free world had been regarded here with a certain sense of distance, even trepidation. Some of the media, and some pundits, had written that Bush, while not unfriendly, was less friendly "than other American leaders — and other Presidential hopefuls—towards the Jewish State. At best, they said, he was uncaring, indifferent to the unique features of the Jewish historical experience. Now, after stripping away all the pap and pizzaz inevitably present in a Vice Presidential visit, and in Vice Presidential rhetoric, most Israelis are left with a comfortable feeling that Bush follows what is by now a mainstream tradition in ■^mferican-^governmentrof regarding Israel as both a strategic ally and a moral mainstay for the United States.
