ation (dl I Parley Called to Blueprint

An extraordinary National Planning Conference for Israel and Jew-
ish reconstruction, which will bring together representatives of all facets
of American Jewish community life for a study of the record financial aid
program projected 'last month at a Jerusalem conference between Israeli
Government officials and American Jewish leaders, will be held in the
Statler Hotel in Washington, D. C., Oct. 27-29.
The conference, convened by members of the American delegation to
the Jerusalem meetings in accordance with the agreement reached there
that all conclusions arrived at in Jerusalem shall be "presented for the
understanding and sanction of American Jewry," will mark the first time
since the establishment of the Jewish State that all elements in American
Jewish life will meet to blueprint a long-range program of American as-
sistance to Israel.
The three-day Washington conference, which will be addressed by top
American and Israeli leaders, will be an extension of the emergency Jeru-
salem meetings, held Sept. 3-6, which were attended by 50 Jewish leaders
from all sections of the United States.

The American Jewish leaders were advised at that time by Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion that Israel would require $1,500,000,000 dur-
ing the next three years to provide for the complete absorption of the
400,000 Jews who have entered since the establishment of the Jewish State
and to meet the needs of the additional 600,000 Jews who are expected to
enter Israel between now and the end of 1953.
In Jerusalem, Israel Finance Minister Eliezer Kaplan announced that
all activities in the United . States for the proposed Israel government
billion-dollar loan will be headed by Henry Montor, now director of the
United Jewish Appeal. Mr. Kaplan is expected to accept the invitation
extended to him by the 50 American Jewish leaders who attended the
recent emergency economic conference here to attend the national con-
ference at Washington on Oct. 27 convened by these leaders to intensify
aid to Israel.

TEL AVIV—Israel will file a protest with the Syrian-Israeli Mixed Armistice Commission
■
over an invasion of Israeli territory by Syrian troops who kidnapped three Arab tribesmen living
on Israel territory, it was announced Tuesday.
Israel authorities are looking into reports of alleged incidents on the Israel-Lebanese frontier
which were reported by the Bierut radio to have taken place Monday night.
An official communique issued here stated that at 10:30 Monday morning, eight Syrian sol-
diers crossed the Jordan River in the vicinity of Touba Village and attempted to round up and
drive off flocks belonging to an Arab tribe living in the area. Failing in their objective, the Syrians
fired about 60 rounds in an attempt to intimidate the tribesmen and then recrossed the river, tak-
ing three of the tribesmen with them.
Israel authorities said Tuesday they had no information about the incidents alleged to have
taken place on the Lebanese frontier. According to the Beirut radio, following these incidents, the
Lebanese frontier forces have been "ordered to repel Jewish aggression" without waiting for
United Nations observers.

Israel llistadrut Is 30-
The powerful pioneering force in Israel, Histadrut,
will celebrate its 30th anniversary this Hanuka,
with a membership of nearly a third of a million.
With dependents, Histadrut accounts for half the
population in Israel, workers in agriculture, indus-
try, the professions, service occupations, trans-
port, government workers, etc. Histadrut manpow-
er was the backbone of Haganah and is the creator
of new pioneer settlements from Dan to Elath. The
creative dynamism of Histadrut has placed its
stamp upon all constructive aspects of the Jewish
State. Its former general secretary, David Ben-
Gurion, is now Prime Minister of Israel.
I n line
with the broadened graduate program of Yeshiva
University the Psychological Clinic, an integral unit
of Yeshiva's School of Education and Community
Administration, has expanded its community serv-
ives with the launching of a psychological testing
program for children of Jewish schools. Above, a
seven-year-old pupil of a neighboring elementary
all-day school is being tested. The entire kinder-
garten and first-year pupils were similarly tested
to determine their capability to carry on the school's
program. At the same time, these tests make it
possible for the child's teacher to guide each one
in the realization of his potentialities. These tests
are administered by graduate students of psycholo-
gy at Yeshiva University who thus acquire practi-
cal experience. Hitherto the Clinic concerned it-
self with individual problems providin g
and therapy for the same. Dr. Julius B. Mailer is
director of the Clinic, whose staff includes psy-
chologists, psychiatrists, physicians and therapists.
