Jacobs, Elazar Give
Israel Impressions

Illustrating a trip to Israel
with films he took there re-
cently, Morris Jacobs, president
of the Michigan Zionist Region,
gave an enthusiastic report of
his impressions at the meeting
of the Zionist Organization of
Detroit at the Shaarey Zedek
Oct. 12.
Albert Elazar, associate super-
intendent of the United Hebrew
Schools, who also recently re-
turned from Israel, in the other
address of the evening, empha-
sized the important role played
by youth in Israel's upbuilding.
Jacobs showed pictures of the
progress being made in Israel,
pointing out the beautiful kib-
butzim of Yagmur, Ain Gev
and Natanya. He explained the
irrigation system used to pipe
water into the Negev ; telling
how the Israelis wrote to the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
asking for advice on how to
plant and cultivate the desert
area, and received a reply,
"Move to another area." But
they stayed on and wrought•
miracles.
Elazar spoke of the young
periple's burden in Israel. "They
work the fields in the daytime
and at night aid the border
patrol in keeping out Arabs
seeking - to smuggle across the
border," he declared. "The Arab's
want to return to Israel because
they like life in the Jewish sec-
tion better than their. own, and
there are clashes every • night
because Israel. can't, at this
time, afford to support Arabs
and Israelis both."
A parade in Jerusalem, at-
tended by President Chaim
Weizmann and Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion, celebrating
the anniversary of the creation
of Israel, was included in one
of the films. The army, navy
and women's corps were shown
along with highly mechanized
equipment.
Jacobs said to an Israeli that
it looked like American equip-
ment. The Israeli replied, "It
is. You Americans sent it to
England, who gave it to the
Arabs. And we took it away from
the Arabs."
When Elazar asked an Israel
youth what he could tell Amer-
icans when he returned, the lad
replied, "Don't desert us now.
Stand by us for another five or
10 years and see what we can
do. We are the vanguard of a
country that is destined to be
a great nation." •

$6,500,000 Rayon Plant
Largest Israel Industry

JERUSALEM, (ISI) — Israel
and foreign investors are build-
ing a $6,500,000 rayon plant—the
Ancient Israel Kingdom
largest single project now under
Believed Found by French way in the country.

JERUSALEM (JTA) —A French
archaeological party reported
the discovery of an ancient
bronze gate and part of a bronze
rampart in diggings at Tel el
Farah, north of Nablus.
The gate is believed to be
some 3,800 years old and the
section of the rampart may be
5,800 years old. The discoveries
made in three excavations
seemed to confirm the hypothe-
sis that Tel el Farah is the site
of Tirsa, first capital of the an-
cient kingdom of Israel..

Alazaroff Branch's Leadership
In Israel's Behalf Praised at Dinner

"As Arlazaroff Branch of
Jewish National Workers AM.-
ance goes, so goes the labor
movement's tempo in support
of Israel." •
In these words, Morris Lieb-
man, chairman of the Central
Committee of the Labor Zionist
Organization of Detroit, sum-
marized the position of the Ar-
lazaroff Branch at the annual
dinner which opened Arlazaroff
activities for the current year,
Oct. 11, at Lachar's.
Liebman pointed out that
Arlazaroff Branch led the en-.
tire Histadrut organization by .
raising $91,000 last year. He
urged speedy collection of out-
standing pledges and prepara-
tion for the approaching 1950-
51 drive.
David Sislin, chairman, re-
viewed the Arlazaroff activities
during the past year and as-
serted that the group is mobil-
izing for increased activities in
behalf of the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign, Farband schools, Hista-
drut, the Federated Drive and
other e f f or t s. He also an-
nounced that an Arlazaroff
Grove will be planted in Israel,

committee in charge.
In the principal address of
the evening, Anshel Rice, Israel
leader now visiting in this coun-

try, outlined the accomplish-
ments of the Histadrut Israel
Federation of Labor. He told of
the numer o us cooperatives
which enable 120,000 of the 400,-
000 Histadrut members to be
actual participants in coopera-
tive industrial enterprises and
of the pioneering work of Is-
rael's labor forces.
Rice pointed out that when
private as well as Histadrut
enterprises were invited to
go to the Negev to build new
projects, the wilderness fright-
ened private initiative but the
Histadrut stepped in where oth-
ers feared to tread and creat-
ed new pioneering ventures
which now are helping build up
the southern Israel area.
The Arlazaroff dinner also
was addressed by Philip Slom-
ovitz. Louis Levine led in com-
munity singing and Shoshana
Brooke Friedman sang a num-
ber of Hebrew a n d Yiddish
