Military
College
pened in Israel
TEL AVIV, (JTA) -- Israel
opened its first Army Command
and Staff College at inaugura-
tion exercises by President Ben
Zvi, Premier Moshe S h a r e t t,
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Moshe
Dayan and high ranking army
officers. Also present were the
students of its first class, vet-
eran officers holding ranks from
captain to colonel.
President Ben Zvi, welcoming
the first class, referred to Israel
as "the nation of the Book and
sword." Mr. Sharett outlined
the political situation, referring
to Jordan's "retreat" this week-
end when it withdrew from a
debate at the United Nations
Security Council on Israel and
Jordan cross-complaints. He
warned, howeVer, that war along
Israel's frontiers might erupt at
any time.
Gem Dayan called the school
the "Army's major attainment,"
asserting that it was essential
that the laws of staff work be
clarified and the methods of
command be taught if the Army
was to continue to exist as an
institution.

JEWISH NEWS New Orleans Study Reveals New Trends

JERUSALEM. (JTA)--The Jew-
—
ish Agency executive has decided
to open its plenary session here
on July 11.
Eliahu Dobkin, executive mem-
ber, came forth with a sugges-
tion that the Zionist movement
should be reorganized from its
"present philanthropic charac-
ter" to "an active movement for
the realization of Zionist aims
and national education in the
Diaspora."
. Dobkin, in a statement to the
press, said the problem of reor-
ganizing the Zionist movement
should be taken up at next
month's meeting of the Zionist
Actions Committee. He empha-
sized that what Zionism needs is
a movement that can stimulate
general immigration and also
immigration of Jewish youth to
Israel.
As a method of executing the
changes he has in mind, Dobkin
suggested that the present sys-
tem of elections for the World
Zionist Congress be changed to
give mandates not only on the
basis of membership in national
Zionist groups but also on the
basis of a specific country's con-
tribution to immigration to Is-
rael and in proportion to its ef-
forts in behalf of national edu-
cation.
It is this type of work, he
added, that is necessary in order
to combat the trend toward as-
similation "which has hit hard
among the Jewish youth
throughout the world."

Ben-Gurion Recuperating
From Attack of Lumbago
The 60 Barton's continental
chocolate shops located in the
East and in Detroit will partici-
pate in a "Children's Week"
celebration, beginning on Sun-
day and continuing through
June 21.
The idea behind children's
week, according to Arthur Klein,
manager of the Midwest division
of Barton's, is to show children
that they are appreciated—just
like mother and dad on their
special days—and to encourage
them to improve their standards
of behavior.
By registering at any local
store, with no obligation to buy
any merchandise, children may
win a year's free pony rides at
Kiddieland, whenever or for as
long as he or she wishes. Other
prizes to be awarded include
toys, wading pools, rings and
bicycles.
To be given free each day to
each child participating are "lol-
lycones" from Barton's "lolly-
cone tree," balloons, and favors.
Free ice cream from 3 to 6 p.m.
on Thursday also will be high-
lighted.
Barton officials estimate that
throughout their network of
stores approximately eight tons
of candy and 60,000 cups of ice
cream will be consumed by the
youngsters.

Neville Laski, AJA leader and
former president of the Board
of Deputies of British Jews, told
the conference that the AJA be-

He noted that "sometimes the
state of which we are citizens
may not be able to act always
i-n such terms as our Jewish
hearts may hope."
He cited such examples as the
Foreign Office attitude toward
the Arab world and toward the
rearmament of Germany, and
stressed the fact that "we are

The report also reveals that
there are 1,501 children 10 years
of age and under, while there
are 828 in the 11 to 20 age
group. Thus, of the total Jewish
population of New Orleans, 16.5
are in the 10 year and under
group, while 9.1 are the 11-20
age group.
The report states: "The influ-
ence of the population-deficient
age groups will have a long-
range effect on the New Orleans
Jewish community. For the next
two to three decades the num-
ber of Jews over the age of 55
will increase, while the number
under 55, but over 30, will de-
crease. It will be some time be-
fore the increase in the birth-
rate evident after World War II,
even if sustained, can modify
these trends."
