restrictions on the issuance of
American passports for travel to
Israel due to the restoration of
peace conditions in that country
was hailed by Albert Schiff, pres-

from this country to the Jewish
State of Israel."
Predicting that the next five
months will see at least 10,000
American tourists—both Jews and
non-Jews—enter Israel by steam-

revealed that his group is now
giving consideration to the build-
ing of hotels in the larger cities
of Israel to accommodate the
tourist - influx. He added that
the Israeli Government consid-
ers touring as one of the major
dollar producing industries in
the Jewish State.
Scores of Detroiters are plan-
ning to go to Israel—for Pass-
over, during the summer months
and for the High Holydays.

garding plans being made for
