Israel BondDrive Launched Here; $122,500 Sales Honor Dr. Schwartz Report on Israel Schools Slaughter Bill Reaches U. S. Congress. in Wayne Press Book 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." a MI al Theater Finds a Home LONDON (JTA) — The Polish Ministry for Art and Culture has decided to provide a permanent home for the Yiddish State Thea- ter, and has turned over to the theatrical group a special build- ing in Warsaw. $10 PER MONTH We Serve as Your Office . . .

S "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 "the only uncircumscribed item , DETROIT JEWISH NEWS-5 Friday, pilay 15, 1955 SQ.
