Histadrut Cooperatives Alleviate
Unemployment Problem in Israel

R. MORRIS FISHBEIN tells of a guest at one of those - WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Israel
stands as much chance of get-

Florida health resorts who flatly refused to follow the pre-
scribed schedule of set-up exercises and work-outs. "I came
here to eat and rest," he in-
sisted. "I refuse to exercise:"

As the guest was checking
out, the proprietor pleaded:
"Before you leave, just do one
bit of exercise for -me—to keep
my record clear. Please just
bend down, keep your knees
stiff, and touch your valise."
The man bent over and said,
"Well, I'm touching my valise.
What now?" "Open it," said the
proprietor, "and give me back
my towels."

During the blitz, a chronic
old shirker was assigned by the
constabulary to help 'clear away bomb-damaged houses. "It's cruel
hard work," he whined to a bobby, "shifting great blocks of stone
with my bare hands and hauling debris up from deep cellars. I can't
stand it any longer." "How long have you beem at it?" asked the
bobby. The shirker explained, "I start tomorrow."

CHARLES W. MORRIS. of
Louisville, Ky., has been ap-
pointed chairman of the na-
tional convention committee
planning the 1950 national bien-
nial meeting of the National
Jewish Welfare Board, to be

ting further United States Gov-
ernment loans "as the prover-
bial snowball in Hades," Robert .
R. Nathan', economic adviser to
the Jewish Agency, said at a
luncheon of the American Vet-
erans Committee.
Pressure on Israel to readmit
Arab refugees and to agree to
internationalization of Jerusa-
lem precluded any possibility
of "further large-scale inter-
governmental loans," • Nathan
stated. He intimated that when
the present $100;000,000 Export-
Import Bank loan is exhausted,
there would be no further ex-
tension of credit from that
source. He forecast that Israel
would float a "big bond issue"
in the United States and
thought the bond issue would
prove "quite successful."

Plan Program to Aid
4,000 Hard Core Cases

NEW YORK (JTA)—A special
rehabilitation and welfare pro-
gram designed to make possible
the immigration to Israel of
4,000 Jewish displaced persons
now in European DP camps,
who are classified as "hard-
core" cases owing to severe phy-
sical and mental handicaps
which they suffered as a result
of Nazi . brutality, was outlined
at a press conference addressed
by Berl Locker, chairman of the
Jewish Agency executive; Dr.
Nahum Goldmann, chairman of
the American section of the
Agency; and Moses A. Leavitt,
executive vice-chairman of the
Joint Distribution Committee.
. The first 15 months of the
project, irr which the Israel Gov-
ernment will take an active role,
will also extend aid to aged and
ill immigrants already in the
Jewish state. The initial phase
of the program will cost $17,-
500,000.

Histadrut cooperatives offer new jobs to immigrants to
help alleviate unemployment caused by the in-flux of new-
comers to Israel. Above (left) a Yemenite Jew is shown work-
ing alongside a European at Histadrut's Nesher Cement Works
at Haifa. Cement produced at_Nesher is vital to house-building
in the Jewish State. Funds raised through the $10,000,000
Israel Histadrut Campaign in America are necessary for estab-
lishing new enterprises for immigrants.
