Israel Expects to Balance
Defense Budget, Kaplan Says
JERUSALEM — (JTA) — In-
creased income will soon permit
the Israel government to bal-
ance its defense budget as well
as its regular budget, Finance
Minister Eliezer Kaplan told
Parliament as he opened debate
on his request for a 27,400,000-
pound appropriation for the
next three months. This would
cover the regular budget, but
not the defense budget whose
total is kept secret.
The government's inability to
balance the defense budget in
the past forced it to issue Treas-
ury bills which have become an
inflationary force in the na-
ational economy. The regular
budget has always been bal-
anced.
Mr. Kaplan revealed that in-
come for the first five months
of the fiscal year — April
through August — has been 66
percent higher than originally
estimated. As a result, it has
not been necessary to issue any
Treasury bills of late. The chief
source of the government's rev-
enue remains income taxes.
Gener al Zionists remained
neutral and are expected to
support the government budget
request. The left-wing Mapam
Party attacked the budget, as-
serting that it gives the govern-
ment too much power. The
budget is expected to pass,
probably some time next week.

Israel in Grip of Worst
Crisis, Rosenwald Reports .
NEW YORK—(JTA)—Israel is
in the grip of the worst crisis
to confront it as a result of a
dollar shortage that has cut its
food supply and is impeding
settlement of many thousands
of immigrant refugees, William
Rosenwald, a national chairman
of the United Jewish Appeal,
said on his return from a three-
month survey of overseas needs.
"Ikhile I am deeply impressed
by Israel's achievements," he
said, "I am deeply disturbed by
the lowered morale of its people
as a result of the many grave
shortages of food, housing and
health facilities." He said that
"if Israel a few weeks ago had
been in a position to acquire
emergency food imports cost-
ing 816,000,000, this would have
been • sufficient to tide the
country over until its fall crops
could be distributed." .
He warned that the food
shortage 'has hit especially hard
at Israel's immigrants, 250,000
Of whom are in reception camps
and work villages." While most
of the newcomers are construc-
tively employed, he said, they
are not yet productive of any-
thing exportable and converti-
ble into foreign exchange.
He lauded Israel's immigra-
tion policy as "the bravest and
most courageous even under
taken by a newly established
state" and added that the UJA

Making America Laugh :1
Great Jewish Comedians
An American Jewish Press Feature
Jewish Americana is not com-
plete without a mention of those
of our people, past and present,
who chose to make a lifetime
job of making American laugh.
While such great stars of the
theatre as Paul Muni and Louise
Rainer left nary a dry hanky
with their superb performances,
other Jewish stars chose to keep
the theatre throngs in chuckles;
a little something to forget their
problems of the day.
American Jewish comedians,
many of them mixing Jewish
lore and presentation with their
acts, became overnight sensa-
tions. The late great AT Jolson,
a cantor's son, made America
forget its woes; Eddie Cantor
still ranks among the topflight-
ers; Sophie Tucker's first re-
cordings were in Yiddish: Jack
Benny's jokes still score; Milton
Berle is an "uncle" to.millions
of radio and TV tuners-in each
week; Henny Youngman, Joey
Adams and Sid Caeser remain
top drawing cards on stage and
radio; George Jessel, one of the
greatest in his day—and dozens
of others.
