WASHINGTON (JTA)—A bill S. 1636 in the Sefiate and H.R.
.
A
group of Detroit leaders, that can be used _fully to
Dr. Joseph
meeting with
.
xecutive vice - presi-
executive
dent of the Development Cor-
poration for Israel, sponsoring
organization for Israel Bonds, at
dinner, at Knollwood Country
Club, July 7, officially launched
Detroit's 1955 drive for the sale
of Israel Bonds.
In hOnor of the guest, bond
purchases were made in the
amount of $122,500, thereby
boosting the total income from
bond sales since January, in
this city, to $450,000.
Phillip Stoliman, who headed
the bond drive here last year,
stated in his opening remarks
that he accepted the job again
this year because of his feeling
that no one has a right to re-
ject a call for service to Israel.
"All of us have a stake in
Israel," he said, "and are virtual-
ly linked with it. That's why we
are giving our time and energy
and a little bit of our money to
this sacred cause.
Joseph Holtzman, in briew
remarks made after Dr.
Schwartz's address, reported
that bond sales in Detroit in
1954 totalled $1,004,000; that
prior to the July '7 meeting
income from bonds totalled
$183,000 in cash, with an. addi-
tional $140,000 outstanding in
pledges. He said that the goal
for this year has 'been set at
$1,500,000. with nearly a third
already raised, he expressed
hope that the quota will be
reached. -
-
Plans for an extensive drive
here starting early in the fall
will be formulated at meetings
during the coming two weeks,
it was announced by Mr. Stoll-
man and David Safran, his as-
sociate chairman. •
Samuel H. Rubiner, who in-
troduced .Dr. Schwartz at the
Knollwood dinner, said the occa-
sion provided an opportunity "to
express gratitude to bond leaders
to whom we owe a debt of
confidence for their loyalty and
devotion." He singled out for
praise Messrs. Stoliman • and Saf-
ran "who by their example, by
educating the public to recognize
the sterling value of the Israel
bonds, have helped give strength
and confidence to these bonds
in the securities market of the
world." Generosity, Mr. Rubiner
added, must be combined with
investments. "Sentiment and
business must go hand in hand."
Describing the "tremendous
strides" towards Israel's eco-
nomic security, Dr. Schwartz
gave an encouraging report on
the progress made by the Jewish
state. He pointed out that Israel's
currency is protected by ade-
quate assets, that unemployment
problems have been solved and
that in some industries there is
an actual shortage bf man-
power.
strengthen the country's econ-
omy is the money that comes
from bond sales, the maneuver-
ability that is provided by bond
dollars."
"The Negev," Dr. Schwartz
said, "represents the most
promising area in the whole
of Israel, and it is being de-
veloped with income from
Israel dollars."
He reported that on July 19
water will begin to flow from
the Yarkon River _to the Negev.
By 1960, he predicted, Israel will
be completely independent and
will not have to import any-
thing - except wheat.
"Buy bonds and sell bonds,"
he urged. "It is a responsibility
that must be undertaken by the
entire community. It's your
campaign. Run it your way, the
way it suits your needs."
Dr. Schwartz will leave this
week for Europe and Israel, in
behalf of the bond drive. In
Israel, he will confer with
Prime Minister Sharett, Finance
Minister Eshkol and other top
government leaders regarding
the present economic situation
of the country and the role of
Israel Bonds in Israel's eco-
nomic future. An intensive drive
for Israel Bonds will get under
way at a National Mobilization
Conference, Sept. 10 and 11 , at
the Sheraton-Park Hotel, in
Washington, D.C.
Dr. Schwartz will be accom-
panied on his visit to Europe
and Israel by former New York
State Attorney General Na-
thaniel Goldstein, legal counsel
for the Development Corporation
for Israel, and Sidney Green,
financial adviser.
regulating the slaughter of live-
stock and poultry which specifi-
cally exempts J e wish ritual
slaughtering has been introduced
in the Senate and the House of
Representatives.
The bill, backed by the Amer
ican Humane Association, was
introduced by Sen. Herbert H.
Humphrey and Rep. Martha
Griffiths. It requires slaughter
houses to render animals and
poultry unconscious and • insensi-
ble to pain before slaughter.
Requirements of the bill do not
apply to any individual who is
duly authorized by a rabbi to
serve as a ritual slaughterer.
Hearings on the bill are not
scheduled in either House. It was
learned from Sen. Humphrey's
office that efforts are being made
to amend the bill to reflect a
positive acceptance of Jewish
ritual slaughtering as a humane
method.
The -bill now treats Jewish
ritual slaughter only as an ex-
ception. The bill is numbered
"The Foreign Student in
American Colleges: A Survey
and Evaluation of Administra-
tive Problems and Practices," by
Edward Charnwood Cieslak, just
published by Wayne University
Press, contains the following
references to Israeli schools:
"The Hebrew gymnasiums
which follow the Continental
system have a four-year ele-
mentary school, followed by an
eight-year secondary school. The
American-type system comprises
eight years of elementary school
and four years of high school.
Pupils who complete the eight-
year elementary school may
enter the fifth year of the
eight-year gymnasium. An ex-
amination is taken at the end
of the tenth year of studies
(completion of the sixth sec-
ondary), and a final secondary
school examination on comple-
tion of gymnasium studies.
"In considering the qualifica-
tions for admission of appli-
cants from Israel who followed
the Continental-type program,
three out of 39 institutions re-
quire an examination certificate
certifying completion of the
sixth class (tenth school year)
of the gymnasium, and 36 re-
quire an examination certificate
certifying completion of the en-
tire gymnasium program. Twelve
institutions a 11 o w advanced-
standing credit to an applicant
from the gymnasium. Of these,
11 allow up to one year credit,
and one allows up to two years
credit."

"One may well say of the
first seven years in Israel 'that
they were lean years and that
they will be followed by
seven years of hopes and
bright prospects -for a • good
future," Dr. Schwartz said.
He said that the approaching
third national election is "peace-
ful, orderly and democratic," in
a part of the world "where
there were no less than 48 gov-
ernment changes accompanied
by violence and assassinations in
the same period."
"The economy of Israel can
not be geared only to the 1,700,-
000 now living there," Dr.
Schwartz said: "It must also be
geared to the 500,000 Jews in
North Africa who are suffering
indignities as second class citi-
zens, and to the Jews behind
the Iron Curtain who seek op-
portunities for freedom in Israel.
This needs investments and new
capital without which the econ-
omy can not grow . and develop.
Israel bends today form the
backbone of Israel's develop-
ment."
He pointed • out that grants-in-
aid are earmarked for specific
purposes by the United States
and that reparations are paid in
goods and machinery; and that
