was developed for this stagger-
ing new instrument of war, his
great scientific interest, and
ability, his sound judgment, his
initiative and resourcefulness

Community Leaders
To Map Allocations

REUVEN SHREIBMAN, vice mayor of Jerusalem, present-
ed a flag of Israel to MAYOR EUGENE VAN ANTWERP
during his visit to Detroit last week. At the presentation cere-
monies were, left to right: Shreibman, MORRIS LIEBERMAN,
chairman of the Detrait Histadrut campaign ; SIDNEY
SHEVITZ, chairman of the Detroit Zionist Council, the Mayor,
and SAM RABINOVITZ, executive director of the Detroit
Histadrut campaign.

To give J e wish community
leaders an opportunity to work
out a formula for allocation of
Allied Jewish Campaign funds,
the Jewish Welfare Federation
will sponsor a budgeting con-
ference, Sunday, Jan. 22, at the
Hotel Tuller prior to the
launching of the 1950 campaign,
it was announced by Julian H.
Krolik, Federation president.

Reuven Shreibman, 46 year-old vice mayor of Jerusalem
and Histadrut labor leader, presented an analysis of the
Jerusalem situation in a press conference at the Jewish Com-
munity Council.
Reiterating the high • cost in lives and sacrifices that
Jewry made for Jerusalem, Shreibman declared:

The Conference will begin at
10:30 a.m. with a two-hour
morning session, adjourn for
luncheon and reconvene for an
afternoon meeting.

"Internationalization is an im-
practical smoke screen; an at-
tempt by Russia to enter Middle
East politics, and the Arab
states to crush Israel and op-
pose Abdullah of Transjordan.

The 1949 budget formula dis-
tributed funds as follows: Over-
seas and Israel, $3,639,101; \ con-
tingency for refugee service,
$40,527; local operating funds,
$791,925; local capital funds,
$92,000; nationa 1, $154,055;
emergency fund, $6,737; cam-
paign and collections, $255,763;
shrinkage, $312,500.

If successful, it would cost
the United Nations $30,000,000
a year. Jerusalem costs Israel
that much in foodstuffs, aids-
in-grant, road construction
and water supply annually. To
Israel, Jerusalem is worth that
much, just as Washington, D.C.
is worth the millions it costs
American taxpapers.

Vienna Jews Elect
'Unity Slate' to Rule

"An internationalized Jerus-
alem would be a city, part Jew-:
ish, part Arab, governed by a
foreign (UN) agency with an
inadequate police force of 500
Jews and 500 Arabs.' In such a
situation underground Arab and
Jewish groups would perpetuate
unrest and warfare.

VIENNA, (J T A)—A "U nit y
Slate" composed of Zionists,
Communists and Socialists has
gained virtually complete con-
trol of the Vienna Jewish Com-
munity in the election for com-
munity officers held here Sun-
day. The "Unity Slate" received
4,996 votes against 268 for the
rightist Federation of Jewish
merchants. Fifty-eight percent
of the electorate participated in
the balloting.

"And if Jerusalem is success-
fully internationalized under the
present plan; won't it need a
port? Maybe Haifa. And a cor-
ridor to that port? Then why
not internationalize such holy
sites at Nazareth and Bethle-
hem? Where in holy Palestine
could internationalization stop?"

The united slate came into ex-
Shreibman went on to outline
istence as a demonstration of two plausible plans for limited
the community's opposition to internationalization which Is-
neo fascism and anti-Semitism rael might accept:

115 Settlements in '49

TEL AVIV—(JTA)—A group
of settlers, members of the
Herut Party, have been prevent-
ed from establishing a settle-
ment named Bnei Zfat on land
in the Mishmar Hayarden sector
by United Nations truce person-
nel, who claimed that establish-
ment of such a settlement would
violate the Israel-Syrian armis-,
tice agreement.
Fourteen new settlethents—six
individual and eight collective—
were established in Israel during
November, bringing the year's
total to 115. The total number
of settlements in the country is
now 577. •

tlement between Petach Tikvah
and Yehudia for 100 families of

The middle class village will be
called Magshimim.• The inhabi-
tants will engage in mixed
farming. There are now 30 mid-
dle class settlements in Israel,
with a total population of 10,000
members.
The 28th settlement in the Ne-
gev was established by Hashomer
Hatzair. It is one of the most
remote outposts in the Negev.

Israel Crime Incidence
Parallels Other Lands

LONDON—(JTA) — While the
crime incidence in Israel corre-
sponds to the average in other
countries, except for fewer mur-
ders, the attention of the police
of the Jewish state is concen-
trated on checking the organized
infiltration of armed bands and
Arab cattle thieves, Yehwskiel
Sahar, Inspector General of the
Israel police, told a press con-
ference.
Inspector Sahar outlined the
structure of the task of the po-
lice force, modelled largely after
the British police whose organi-
zation methods he came here to
study. In reply to questions,,he
said that " no underground now
exists in Israel."
