Israel Offers Lower
Prices to Tourists

NEW YORK, (JTA)—ImproYed
facilities and lower prices are
among the inducements offered
to tourists visiting Israel in 1953,
it was announced by Amos Ir-
ron, director --of the State /of
Israel Tourist Center.
The over-all 'cost of a trip 'to
Israel will be reduced still fur-
ther by the introduction, as of
April 1, 1953, of tourist rates for
flights between Europe and Is-
rael. As a result of these say-.
ings, an all-expense two-week
visit to Israel, including trans-
portation by air from New York,
will become available for less
than $1,000, Mr. Irron pointed
out. Discounts and other con-
cessions are available to the
tourist who purchases "Service
for Tourists in Israel" letters of.
credit. These serve as both cur-
rency and ration coupons. ,

To Explore Investments
NEW YORK, (JTA)— I. Ed-
win Goldwasser, noted Jewish
communal leader and prom-
inent financial authority, left
for Israel to study investment
possibilities there and to seek
opportunities for large- scale
private finance operations in the
Jewish State.

Jews Like Small Town
Living Survey Shows

-

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Two-
thirds of the Jewish adults liv-
ing in small communities in the
U. S. and Canada prefer their
present home towns to moving
to a big city, according to a re
port released by Leon J. Ober-,
mayer, Philadelphia, national
chairman of the Bnai Brith Vo-
cational Service Bureau.
Directed by- Robert Shosteck,
director of research of the Bnai
Brith Vocatitinal Service Bureau,
the survey consisted of ques-
tionnaire responses by 2,500 male
Jewish adults in 221 communi-
ties in the United States and
Canada with Jewish populations
under 1,000.
The survey, which was pri-
marily an effort to get at the
feelings and attitudes of small-
town Jews, revealed a surpris-
ingly good adjustment to small-
town life on the part of Jews.

JRSO Reaches 85% of Settled Nazi Claims

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
Jewish Restitution Successor Or-
ganization will receive some $18,-
000,000 as a result of bulk settle-
ments negotiated with the U. S.
Zone of Germany, as well as
in settlement of claims against
individual Germans, it was re-
ported at the fifth annual meet-
ing of JRSO.
As a result 'of these agree-
ments, more than 85 per cent
of all claims pressed by the
JRSO• for heirless or unclaimed
property have now been success-
fully settled. s
Benjamin B. Ferencz, director
general in Germany of JRSO,
told the session that "the rela-
tively few claims remaining in
the U. S. Zone should be dis-
posed of during 1953. Our success
in assigning these individual
claims in bulk to the State of
Hesse, Efremen, Wuerttemberg-
Baden and Bavaria, in return
for reasonable compensation,
marks the satisfactory culmina-
tion of the major phase of JRSO
activities."
The annual meeting of .JRSO,
formed in 1947 by a group of
leading Jewish organizations in
the U. S., Great Britain, France
and Germany to press Jewish
restitution claims against Ger-
many, elected Dr. Israel Gold-

stein president for 1952-53, sue-
ceeding Monroe Goldwater.
Funds already recovered by
JRSO representing heirless or
Otherwise unclaimed, property,
are now, being used to support
relief activities on • behalf, of
needy Jewish victims of Nazism
both 'in and outside Germany,
through the two "operating
agencies" of JRSO — the Joint
Distributing Committee and the
Jewish Agency.

The Yiddish Scientific Insti-
tute (YIVO), 535 W. 123rd, New
York 27, has issued a 374-page
impressive Yiddish work, "Stud-
ies in Yiddish Folklore",by Y. L.
Callan, edited by Max Weinrich.
The editor's essay about the
author and the contents of the
book throw interesting light on
Cahan's chief interests: the col-
lection of Yiddish folksongs.
Cahan (1181-1937) established
a reputation as an authority on
the subject. The current b o o k
contains his outstanding essays
on the Yiddish folksong, t h e
dance song, the origins of the
melodies.
It does even more: it contains
instructions for folklore collec-
tors. The entire field is brilliant-
ly evaluated by a man who truly
became an expert in - his field.
Yiddish readers will find 'a
goodly amount of informative
material in this volume. They
will be enlightened and will find
a great deal of entertainment in
'reading the folksongs that are
evaluated in Cahan's book.
