Lipsky Takes Issue with
Goldstein on Intervention
In Israel Political Affairs
NEW YOIR,K, (JTA) — Louis
Lipsky; chairman of- the Ameri-
can Zionist Council which repre-
sents all groups in the American
Zionist movement, took issue
with a statement m_ade by Dr.
Israel Goldstein in Israel that
because the Israelis feel eco-
nomically and politically in-
secure without assistance from
abroad, intervention of Zionists
throughout the world in. Israel
affairs is an expression of legi-
timate and invited concern in
such matters.
"That is an obvious platitude,
but it does not touch on the is-
sue," Mr.' Lipsky said in a state-
ment to the press. "Of course,
all Zionists and most Jews are
concerned about Israel. They
express their concern publicly
and freely through the United
Palestine Appeal, the Jewish Na-
tional Fund, the Israel Bonds,
private investments and going
to Israel t_o see things for them-
selves."
"It is quite a different matter,
however; to suggest that all
Zionist organizations or groups
or parties in t h e Diaspora
should express their concern
for Israel affairs by di-
rectly and Continuously co-op-
erating with the Israel political
parties (each with its own),
seeking to influence them not
only through the expression of
their views, - but helping their
vis-a-vis party in Israel by pro-
viding it with fthids for its poli-
tical campaigns," Mr. Lipsky de-
clared.
BUENOS AIRES, (JTA)-

ovation by the assembly which

nounced that Argentina's high-
est decoration would be bestow-
ed on Dr. Chaim Weizmann,
President of Israel. The presen-
tation will be made by Dr. Man-
guel when he returns to his post.
In speeches at the reception,
both President and Mrs. Peron

the welcome and expressed their
friendship for the Jewish corn.-
munAy and for the state of Is-
rael.
As President Peron was enter-
ing the hall, a petition was
handed to him asking that 30
Jewish writers stranded in Paris
be admitted to Argentina. It

had immediately decided to or-
der the admission of the 30 men.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — T h e
Jewish Agency executive began
sessions preliminary to the 23rd
World Zionist Congress. -
:_ Berl Locker, chairman of the
Jerusalem executive, .-welcomed
the American members at the
opening session. Eliahu Dobkin,.
head of the Agency's organiza-
tion department, described the
arrangements made for the
Congress.
•- The Congress will start with
a ceremony Aug. 14 on Mt.
Herzl at which the flags of Is-
rael, of the President of Israel .
and of Dr. Thepdor Herzl's
Altneuland will be massed,
followed by an El Molei Rach-
raim and readings from Herzl's
writings and the Prophets and
Special prayers by Rabbi
Judah Mairaon.
Dr. A. Shalit, secretary to Dr.
Herzl, will call the first session
of the Congress together that
same evening. President Chaim
Weizman will address the open-
ing session either iri person or
by broadcast from Rehovoth.
Berl Locker will then review the_
accomplishments of the Zionist
movement and Premier David
Ben-Gurion will then address
the assembly. Mayor I. Shragai
of Jerusalem will welcome the
delegates and Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann will conclude the session
with an address on the Jewish
people and Israel.
A special session of the Con-
gress will mark the golden jubi-
lee of the Jewish National Fund.
A second Zionist Organiza-
tion of America may be estab-
lished if the present ZOA per-
sists in identifying itself with
Israel's- General Zionist Party,
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chair-
man of the American section
of the Jewish Agency execu-
tive, told a press conference.
He asserted that "it 'would be
easy to increase to 50 percent or
more" the one-third of the votes-
cast by delegates at the recent
ZOA. convention at Atlantic City
against a resolution pledging
support to .Israel's General
Zionist Party. "A Majority of
those in opposition felt that the
ZOA should not support any
party," Dr. Goldmann added.
He urged the creation of single
Zionist organizations in coun-
tries outside Israel thus lessen-
ing the influence of the political
parties which, he maintained,
have - transferred their disputes
from Israel to their respective
countries, disrupting fundamen-
tal Zionist activities.
- Agency's Increased Income
The Jewish Agency made public
a report prepared for the World
Zionist Congress on its expendi-
tures and activities for the peri-
od since the end of World War
II which reveals a striking in-
crease in income and immigra-
tion as compared with the period
from the organization of the
Agency, in 1929, until the out-
break of the second World War.
The. report reveals that in the
four - and - a - half year period
from the end of the war until
March of this year, the Agency
spent 129,596,814 pounds as
compared to 4,475,000 pounds
which it extended during the
first 10 years of the Agency's
existence. During the war years,
the Agency's expenditures to-
talled '17,827,146 pounds.
The bulk of the Agency's in-
come came from the United
States. However,' the Agency's
income during the most hectic
period in its history could not
keep up with its needs and the
Agency had to rely, to an in-
creasing extent, upon loans.
The statistics on immigra-
tion revealed in the report are
more striking than the rise in
income. In the 30-year period
from the end of World War
when Britain took over the ad-
ministration of Palestine, until
1948, when the state of Israel
was established, a total of
480,000 Jews settled in Pales-
tine. In the three-year period
from the proclamation of the
Jewish state until June, 1951,
638,597 men, women and chil-
dren arrived in Israel. The
Agency organized and trans-
ported 95 percent of the immi-
grants who entered Israel in
the latter period.
. About one-quarter of all the
arrivals in the three-year period
came from Oriental and Middle
