Women's Work Acclaimed Speaking here last Thursday, at a luncheon meeting of a group of JNF workers, at the Tuller Hotel, Elias M. Epstein, head of the JNF office in Jerusalem, praised the work of the Detroit JNF Ladies' Auxiliary and commended the local community's women work- ers for land redemption for es- tablishing the Detroit Nachlah near Jerusalem. Epstein reported on the JNF's accomplishments and stated that until the establish- ment of statehood in Israel the JNF possessed 1,000,000 dunams of land. Since then, negotia- tions were completed for the acquisition of another million dunams of land for which JNF will compensate, through the Israel government, the former Arab landowners. "We are not interested in confiscations but in compensat- ing rightful owners," he stated. New JNF Efforts He described new efforts of the JNF, including irrigation schemes and plans to provide agricultural settlements with water. He reported that the cur- rent plan is to plant 3,000,000 trees in Israel this year; six times more than in any other previ- ous year. William Hordes, who with Mrs. Hordes were hosts at the luncheon, told of his own expe- riences in Israel and of the tre- mendous accomplishments of the JNF. Epstein also was guest of the Zionist Organization of De- troit at dinner on Jan. 19, prior to his address to the ZOD that night at the Northwest Hebrew Congregation.

The delegation was met at the airport by officials of the for- eign office. Informed quarters discount the rumors that the British government intends to present to Israel counterclaims amounting to about $150,000,000 to offset the claims which the Jewish state is presenting to Britain. The claims and - the counterclaims on each side will develop in the course of the discussions and it is therefore impossible to name any sum be- forehand, these quarters stated.
