since many boOk shopS in. Tel
Aviv or Jerusalem are as well
stocked with American books as
the average bookstore in Amer-
icaN
"Apart from • the pocket edi-
tions which have been very pop-
Ailar in Israel," the report said,
"the emphasiS has been on
serious works—philosophy, poli-
tics, economics, and classical
literature, as well as medicine,
law and engineering. There is
also a large demand for Ameri-
can books for children."
The Media Guaranty Program
helps to overcome the shortage
of dollar exchange in Israel by
making it possible for American
publishers to be paid U. S. dol-
lars for the blocked local cur-
rencies received from sales
abroad. It was noted that while
the -export of literature under
the program of six European
countries, Formosa and Israel
totalled around $6,000J000 in the
last 12 months, Israel alone
contracted for over $3,000,000.
The program was authorized
under the Economic Cooperation
'Mt of 1948. Originally adminis-
tered by the ECA and later the
Mtitual Security Agency, it was
transferred to the Department
of State by executive order on
July 1, 1952, and to the new
U. S. Information Agency. on
Aug. 1, 1953.
