Mizrachi Pioneers to Study at Center NEW YORK—The eagerness of American Jewish youth .to parti- cipate in the battle for a free Palestine was epitomized by the establishment recently of the Bet Hechalutz (pioneer house) by Ha- poel Hamizrachi of America. ' The house, a four story struc- ture at 30 E. 3rd street, was pur- chased by the organization for the purpose of providing a center for the industrial training of American Jewish youth who are anxious to go to Eretz Israel and participate in its upbuilding. Rabbi Simon Federbush, presi- dent of Hapoel Hamizrachi, said that "the establishment of the Bet Hechalutz signifies the begin- ning of a new phase in the parti- cipation of American Jewry in the battle of Zion. Henceforth, Pales- tine's industrial needs, and not only its agricultural requirements, will be taken into consideration in the training of pioneers for the Holy Land." The first group of Hapoel Ha- mizrachi pioneers has already es- tablished itself in the Bet Hecha- lutz as a cooperative, along the lines of a collective settlement in Palestine. A machine shop is being instal- led there where the Chalutzim will acquire experience in trades such as tool making, mechanics, general machinists. Special courses in radio, and radar are being giv- en by discharged veterans.
