Grain-Laden Polish Ship 64—THE JEWISH NEWS Vienna to Ask Large Friday, October 1, 1948 U. S. City for 'Adoption' Leaves Gydnia for Israel Between You and Me By BORIS SMOLAR (Copyright. 1948. Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) L'Shanah Tovah: The New Year will witness a strong fight in Washington for the liberalization of existing immigration laws . . . Jewish organizations have not as yet given up hope of having Congress amend its DP immigration law which blocks entrance to the United States for most of the displaced Jews . . . The New Year will also witness a stronger Israel despite the efforts on the part of the enemies of the Jewish state to prevent its development . . . Reports reaching Zionist lead- ers in this country from Paris indicate that the recommendations of the late UN mediator to revise drastically the present borders of Israel may be softened during the present session of the UN General Assembly . . In the United States the new Jewish year will witness 'a marked increase in Jewish educational activities in which various groups will compete in order to gain influence over American Jewish youth . . . Zionist activities in the United States will be intensified soon after the new year starts . . . At present, the American branch of the World Zionist Executive is considering leasing or even buying a building in New York which would become the. headquarters of the Jewish Agency for the entire American continent . .. The build- ing is to house four of the major departments of the World Zionist Executive—the organizational department, the economics depart- ment, the )public relations department and the department for youth education. * UN Notes: Total death insurance of about $120,600 will be paid to the widow of Count Folke Bernadotte . . . A certain State Department official named McLintock seems to play a very important role with regard to Palestine behind the scenes of the U. S. delegation at the United Nations . . The American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Conference have sent special observers to the UN session in Paris . . . These observers are considered as members of a consul- tative body established by the State Department for UN affairs . . . n-international legal authority considering what law the assassins of Count Bernadotte can be arrested and tried under told newspaper correspondents that the issue would seem to rest on a decision re- garding the as yet undetermined status of Jerusalem . .. The author- ity recalled the facts of the trial being held at present in Jerusalem of two British subjects charged with passing information to the, Arabs . . . "The legality of this trial," he said, "has been contested by the British Government" . • .. The British argued that it was not within the competence of any Jewish authority to carry out an arrest in Jerusalem as long as the status of the city remains undetermined. . . . "Presumably," the authority concluded, "Israel wishes to track dawn and arrest the assassins and to bring them to justice beThre their own courts" . . . It is obvious that this is exactly what Israel wishes .. . VIENNA, (JTA)—The Vienna Jewish Community intends to ask the Jews of New York or. Chicago or of some other large American Jewish community to sponsor or "adopt" it in the same manner that many American cities aid Austrian or other European cit- ies. The Jewish Community here is in desperate financial straits. Only an approximate five per cent of the community's budget for social, cultural and relief needs is met by the community taxation system. Another 25 per- cent is supplied by contributions from Austrian Jews and the re- mainer comes from the Joint Dis- tribution Committee. However, the JDC has informed Jewish leaders that its allotments for Austria are virtually exhaust- ed and that the Vienna communi- ty cannot expect as much help from the agency in the future. Unless another source of income can replace the JDC's contribu- tions, the community will be force to sell communal property in order to maintain even a re- activities program.

RA. 4244 Communal Affairi: The Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds is now conducting a population study for the American Jewish Committee. . .. Provisional results of this survey reveal that the Jewish popula- tion in thQ United States today is closer to 4,500,000 than. the 5,000,000 figure often mentioned ... The study also establishes that 75 percent of the entire Jewish population in the United States resides •in 13 ' of America's largest cities . . . These are: Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and San Francisco . . . The survey, which is polling virtually every important center of Jewish popula-_ tion in the United States, seeks to provide data on about 1,500 com- munities . . . The most interesting revelation is the fact that 66 communities, covering about sixty-five percent .of the total Jewish population in this country, have themselves conducted special popu- lation studies during the last decade . . . More than fifty other corn- Munities, comprising eleven percent of American Jewry, have made attempts to estimate their population size by means of correlating contributors lists, membership lists and synagogue ' lists .. . The Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds has now assigned a staff which analyzes these studies under the direction of Harry L. Lurie, its executive director . . . The Council hopes that the best methods of estimating the Jewish population will be developed and that the degree of dispersion of that population will be more sharply defined.

TE. 2-4490 12187 DEXTER - LONDON, (JTA) — An anti- Jewish demonstration was staged at a meeting of the International Spiritualist Conference here. While a German Jew was reading a paper, two London residents, former German priSoriers of war, objected to a Jew "addressing the conference in behalf of the German Reich." The objectors, Kurt Wagner and Erwin Scholz, who also shouted "down with the Jews," explained that they had revived the German "Ostara" movement while in a prison camp in the United States. The move- ment was both anti-Jewish and anti-Christian during its pre-war existence. HOLIDAY GREETINGS ENDURO PRODUCTS Manufacturers of HAPPY NEW YEAR from the AUTO CITY OIL CO. GEO.
