The Israel police official, a former Colonel in the Israel Army;: said that most of his forces' work - was police "rou- tine" —with the occasional ex- ception of the incursions from across the border with which they have. to deal. The police un- der his command also maintain a small "navy" — but its num- bers and dispositions are secret for security reasons. The police official also revealed that about 100 of the approximately 1,000 men in his force are Arabs, whom he described as "good policemen all." He also noted the fact that there are very few calls for police action from the kibbutzini in his area.

Gittel- sohn, of Boston. Attractively illustrated by Ja- cob Landau, this book aims to guide i t s stu- dents and read- ers along -the .paths - of Juda- ism. Rabbi Git- telsohn makes a serious effort to ;encourage t h e ..student to do further reading. H i s numerous quotations from the Bible and from great au- Gittelsohn thors are so well selected that they should en- courage deeper delving into the Scriptures. The Jewish way of life, the conflicts of religion and science, the challenges of our prayers and the differing elements in ideas that surround Jewish existence are among the many subjects covered here and presented to our growing boys and girls for their serious thoughts. Novelist's License In Recreating 'Esther' Nathaniel Norsen Weinreb has woven an interesting tale around the Purim story in his new novel, "Esther," just published by Doubleday. It is an unusual and an inter- esting story. While it is based on the life of the heroine of the Book of Esther, the author takes many liberties. He does not fol- low the Biblical book to the letter. For instance, he has Vashti visit Esther after the latter suc- ceeds her as queen. Then, later, when Esther is in trouble and realizes that unless she acts and sees her husband, King Xerxes, the Jews will be murdered, she, in. turn, goes to Vashti for advice. Esther is a daring queen Who learns to love Xerxes, as Aha- seurus is referred to. Once, in a conversation where Esther uses the term Ahaseurus, the author explains it as "the He- brew name of the king." Interwoven in the story is a struggle for peace, against the cries for war between Persia and the Greeks. Haman, who plays the unsavory role of an ancient Hitler, seeks to inspire war, and it is as a result that Vashti, who influenced her hus- band for peace, is discarded. Esther, too, strives for peace. Haman's role is unique. He incites his followers, prescribes for them a symbol similar to Hitler's swastika. Weinreb's story reads so well that his readers will condone the liberties he has taken with the historical facts as incor- porated in the Book of Esther. His "Esther" is a charming novel and its entertaining quali- ties should build for it a large reading public. Histadrut Launches Drive In U.S. for $5,000,000 NEW YORK, (JTA)—The 32nd annual Israel Histadrut Cam- paign, seeking $5,000,000 this year, was launched at a meeting of the board of directors of the National Committee for Labor Israel. Funds raised in this cam- paign are devoted to medical, educational and social service in- stitutions Operated in Israel by the Histadrut, its general federa- tion of labor. Isaac Hamlin, chairman of the executive of the committee, re- ported on plans prepared by the Histadrut for coping with the anticipated mass migration of Moroccan Jews to Israel. Dr. Dov Beigun, national secre- tary, reported on the organiza- tion's activities for the past year, while Abraham Dickenstein, president of Ampal-American Trading Corporation, analyzed the impact of the recent dis- covery of oil—by a firm partly financed by Ampal—on Israel's economy. 3,100 Jews Attend British Universities LONDON (JTA) — There are some 3,100 Jewish students at- tending courses at British uni- versities leading to diplomas and degrees, it was established by the Inter-University Jewish Federa- tion in a survey carried out dur- ing the academic year of 1954- 55. The study, which was aided by the cultural department of the World Jewish Congress, esti- mated that the Jewish students amounted to 2.8 per cent of the total student body in Britain. Querying Jewish students on their attitudes toward various problems, the survey established that 17 per cent of them believe it "quite likely" that they will marry non-Jews, while another 36 per cent believe that inter- marriage for them is "possible but unlikely." The study found that Jewish university societies are popular and play a positive role in pre- serving Jewish values and Jew- ish consciousness. The Jewish student body is about three times as large pro- portionately as the Jewish popu- lation in relation to the general population of Britian, which is about one per cent. The number of Jewish students has increased since the last such survey was carried out in 1949- 50, although the general student body has declined in numbers. The favorite academic fields of Jews are medicine, law, dentistry and social work, the study found. Gen. Adler of Times Dies in New York Maj. Gen. Julius Ochs Adler died Oct. 2 in New York.
