JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Levi
Eshkol, Israel Minister of Fi-
nance issued a statement taking
issue with Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., chairman of the board of
governors of the Israel Bond
Organization in the United
States, who suggested that the
Histadrut in Israel "get out of
private business." Mr. Morgen-
thau spoke at the National
Economic Conference for Israel
in Washington.
"The remarks made by my
friend Henry Morgenthau at the
Israel bond conference in Wash-
ington in connection with the
function and role of the Hista-
drut in Israel economy—as re-
ported in the press—have arous-
ed considerable astonishment,"
the statement declared. "Every-
one familiar with the economic
and social life of the country is
fully aware of the great pioneer-
ing role of the Histadrut in
every branch of colonization,
economic activity, security and
development of the country."
"The present economic stand-
ing a n d achievement of the
country would have been incon-
ceivable without the splendid
pioneering activity of the work-
ers' movement throughout the
entire generation. Israel expects
that this pioneering movement
will continue in the future with
its 'activities in all fields and
on all fronts of the economic
upbuilding in Israel, side by side
with all other constructive forces
of the state and Jewish people.
"The task of upbuilding the
country and its economy is tre-
mendous. It cannot dispense
with any constructive force
which is capable of contributing
its enterprising power and abil-
ity. Everyone is entitled to the
full benefits—while at the same
time obliged to fulfill all duties
—of the system of freedom of
enterprise and equality of op-
portunity which characterizes
the economic life of Israel. "It
is hard to conceive that Mr.
Morgenthau intends to question
these principles," Mr. Eshkol
concluded in his statement.
Goldenberg Makes Denial
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Harold J.
Goldenberg, one of the speakers
at the National Economic Con-
ference for Israel in Washing-
ton, issued a statement to the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency de-
Guide Lists Colleges
Recognizing Hebrew
More than 1,400 American
colleges and universities in 48
states, Alaska and Haiwaii,
which accept the Hebrew lan-
guage for admission purposes,
are listed in an 80 page booklet
distributed by the New York
City Board of Education to the
principals of senior and junior
high school throughout the city.
The booklet, titled "Hebrew
for College Entrance", edited by
Judah Lapson, was published
here by the Hebrew Culture
Service Committe for American
high schools throughout the city.
The booklet was accompanied
by a letter to high school prin-
cipals `signed by C. Frederick
Pertsch, Associate Superinten-
dent of Schools in charge of
Academic and Vocational High
Schools and Elias Lieberman,
Associate Superintendent in
charge of Junior High Schools.
Their letter notes that the
question has frequently arisen
in connection with the study of
Hebrew, as to whether that lan-
guage is acceptable as a college
entrance requirement. "Hebrew
for College Entrance" is intend-
ed to answer this question and
to provide a guide for college
councillors in the schools.
The Hebrew Culture Service
Committee, which published
the guide, is a non-profit organ-
ization whose object is to in-
Crease the knowledge and ap-
preciation of the Hebrew lan-
guage and culture in American
education.
Its founder and chairman was
the late Hayim Greenberg, edi-
tor, • writer and head of the
World Zionist Organization's De-
partment of Education and Cul-
ture. Judah Lapson, editor of
the booklet, is acting chairman
at the committee.
nying that in his speech he took
issue with Mr. Morgenthau over
the latter's remark on the Hista-
drut..
"I was called up to report on
general investment activities in
the country," Mr. Goldenberg
said. - In the course of my ad-
dress, I referred to the work
being done by Histadrut organ-
izations. I made no comment on,
and intended no criticism of,
the passing reference to Hista-
drut made the night before by
Mr. Henry Morgenthau, Jr. I be-
lieve Mr. Morgenthau has ren-
dered sufficient service to both
Israel and the Jewish commun-
ity generally to be able to ex-
press himself freely on any sub-
ject."
Lag in UIA Funds
Expenditures of United Israel
Appeal agencies for their immi-
grant rehabilitation and re-
settlement program are almost
one-third—or about $22,000,000—
behind the budgetary needs for
the first eight months of this
year, Rudolf G. Sonneborn, UIA
national chairman, said here.
"This lag has been one of the
primary causes in the slowing
down of immigrant resettle-
ment, in the protein-poor diet
of newcomers and in the cur-
tailment of housing projects."
Mr. Sonneborn said. He disclosed
these facts in a report to the
executive committee.
Investment in Housing
Considerable building for
American investors and for ma-
jor American Jewish organiza-
tions is being done in Israel by
Rassco, a rural and suburban
settlement company in Tel Aviv,
it was reported at a reception
given by the Jewish Agency in
honor of Dr. Yeshayahu Foerder,
managing director of Rassco, a
member of Israel Parliament.
Mr. Foerder, who was greeted
by Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chair-
man of the Jewish Agency, said
that his company has invested
12,000,000 Israeli pounds during
the current fiscal year in hous-'
ing and new settlements.
Discussing the general econ-
omic situation in Israel, Dr.
Foerder stated that the decrease
in Israel's foreign currency in-
debtedness and the increase in
agricultural production consti-
tute "important signs" of Israel's
economic progress.

Cultural Media Strengthen
Israeli, French Friendship
PARIS, (JTA)—Signs of fur-
ther strengthening of the bonds
of friendship between France
and Israel were disclosed here
by two announcements dealing
with the cultural relations be-
tween the two nations.
The Foreign Ministry reported
that it plans to send 3,000 vol-
umes of French classics to Is-
rael schools that teach French,

language libraries in Israel in-
stitutions of learning.

vealed that Jean Cassou, direc-
tor of the Paris Museum of Mod-
ern Art, will visit Israel later
