Shevitz Asks Local
Jewry to Prepare
For Jerusalem Fight
Sidney Shevitz, president of
the Zionist Council of Detroit,
in a statement to the commun-
ity on the occasion of Rosh
Hashanah, calls upon all Jews
to alert themselves in the battle
for the defense of Jewish claims
on Jerusalem.
Calling upon Detroit Jews to
be prepared for action,• Shevitz,
while extending greetings on
Rosh Hashanah on behalf of the
Zionist Council ,declares:
"Israel, with its heavy bur-
dens of absorption and recon-
struction, is not yet at peace.
Current proposals of the UN
Conciliation Commission to take
Jerusalem from Israel and place
in under international control
is the product of a sinister con-
spiracy by the enemies of Israel.
Unfortunately, it seemingly has
the blessings of the American
State Department.
"The government and people
of Israel have already spoken.
They will not willingly give up
Jerusalem ,the heart of Israel.
Its overwhelmingly Jewish pop-
ulaion, with the memory of its
recent • bloody and heroic de-
fense of the city, will not volun-
tarily submit to alien rule.
"We call upon the Jews of De-
troit, in unison with the rest of
American Jewry, to alert them-
selves in this critical hour. As
the UN Assembly meets to de-
bate the Jerusalem proposal we
must mobilize our strength, our
voices, our prestige, to protest
against this planned and un-
warranted rape of Israel. - We
must impress upon our govern-
ment that it must not permit
the adoption of this plan which
will subvert the American pol-
icy that encouraged and helped
the rebirth of Israel. We shall
call upon you very soon. Be
prepared."
An emergency meeting of the
Zionist Council has been called
by Shevitz for Thursday eve-
ning, Sept. 29, at the office of
the Jewish National Fund, 11816
Dexter. All delegates are called
upon to be present.

—Joint Distribution Committee note
Flying to freedom in Israel, these Yemenite Jews offer
fervent prayers of thanksgiving. More than 7,000 Jews from
Yemen and Aden were rescued from degradation and persecu-
tion and air-lifted to Israel in "Operation Magic Carpet" by the
Joint Distribution Committee. This operation was a major
highlight in the year 5709, when JDC's world-wide emigration
program brought 230,000 homeless Jews to Israel. JDC receives
its funds from the $250,000,000 campaign of the United
Jewish Appeal.

AMPAL Official Says
Israel Living Costs Down Units if US Jewry Helps
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Abra-
ham Dickenstein, managing di-
rector. of AMPAL — American
Palestine Trading Corporation—
upon his return from Israel re-
ported that "the current auster-
ity program has lowered the cost
of living in the Jewish state by
seven and a half percent while
the black market has been com-
pletely eradicated."
"The encouragement of new
capital investments in the re-
cently formed country is one of
the most important aspects of
the increasingly difficult prob-
lem of immigration," he stated.
"The absorption of immigrants
into the economy of the coun-
try depends largely on the speed
and extent of the development
of new industries, limited con-
sumption in the country as a
whole with a corresponding in-
crease in production."

More than 30,000 housing units
currently under construction in
Israel will be completed by the
end of this year provided that

able the necessary funds, Judge

tional chairman of the •United
Palestine Appeal, announced in
his quarterly report to the Board
of Directors.
The houses will accommodate
approximately 90,000 immigrants
