It's Catch as Catch Can as Israel Angles for Place in Fishing Industry By ADA OREN (Copyright 1951, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) TEL AVIV—Since there is no possibility of producing a suf- ficient supply of meat locally, Israel has turned to the fish- producing industry as the one hope of supplying high protein food for the entire population from local sources of supply. At present a good proportion of the fish consumed in Israel is still obtained from abroad. The first modern Jewish fish- ermen in this country started operation in 1937 with a total catch of eight tons. Now the trade employs 1,000 persons, in- cluding nearly 100 experienced foreigners, mainly Italians, who bring their boats to Israel waters and train Israelis on them. Foreign experts are in- vited for protracted stays to teach ocean and lake-fishing methods. The first local school for fish- ermen was recently opened at Mikhmoreth and offers ado- lescents free board together • with the three-year course. However, it has succeeded in attracting homeless children al- most exclusively. A similar in- stitute for still younger candi- dates is under construction on the coast south of Tel Aviv. Eight of the 15 fishing villages in Israel, all based on mixed farming, were founded after the War of Independence. In these farms, and through partnership in regular companies, Histadrut or its members hold a 90 per- cent interest in all Israel fish- ing enterprises. Fish imports still require about two million pounds in foreign exchange per year as Name Winners of Dr. Wise Awards . NEW YORK—The winners of the second annual Stephen Wise awards for distinguished service in the four major fields of activ ity to which the late Dr. Wise had dedicated his life — the growth and development of Is- rael; the welfare of Jews in overseas lands; the advancement of Jewish education and culture; the extension of civil rights in the United States—were named by Rabbi Irving Miller, president of the American Jewish Con- gress, the donor organization, as f011ows: Israeli Ambassador • to the United States and the United Nations, Abba Eban, "for out- standing service to the State of Israel;" Dr. Raphael Lemkin, visiting professor of international law, Yale Law School, "the man who is most responsible for making genocide an international crime;" The American Association for Jewish Education, "for the ad- vancement of Jewish education and culture;" and The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, "for strengthening and advancing the civil rights of all Americans."

This in itself represents nearly a 100 percent increase over 1949, and if development continues at the same rate, Is- rael may raise its entire fish supply by 1952.
