chairman.
Lieberman, , who stated that
volunteer workers are covering
hundreds of additional cards as
compared to this time last year,
said, "Equally important is the
fact that these cards represent
increased contributions on an
average of 10 percent.
The high level of returns dur-
ing the past week was • distrib-
uted over all of the participat-
ing divisions.
Backed up by Arlazaroff

Mapai Party Committee Meets to Draft Defense Plan

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
To The Jewish News

JERUSALEM — The Mapai
political committee, augmented
by party members in the Cab-
inet and Parliament, met Tues-
day night for discussion of the
Lavon plan for putting the
country on a war footing in
preparation for an expected
Arab attack.
The plan, drafted by a special
Mapai committee headed by for-
mer Defense Minister Pinchas
Lavon, has received virtual
unanimous approval among
leaders of the Labor Party.
Tuesday's discussion centered
about composition of a Citizens
National Defense Council pro-
jected in the Lavon plan as a
body with consultative status
with the Premier and Defense
Minister.
It is understood that draft-
ers of plan visualize member-
ship on the Council being ex-
tended to representative§ of
all parties as far right as
Herut as well as to members
of government coalition par-
" ties.
Meanwhile t h e newspaper
Maariv reported that Finance
Minister Levi Eshkol will sub-
mit to the Cabinet a plan to
restrict immigration this year
in an effort to divert every pos-
sible pound to defense prepara-
tions.
This, Maariv says," has created
quite a stir within the Mapai
leadership, with some sections
insisting that manpower to be
gained from immigration is as
important as money saved by
reducing the immigrant flow.
Eshkol who is scheduled to
Meet with Jewish Agency rep-
resentatives on his plan, pro-
posed to cut back immigration
from a planned 40,000 to 45,000
in 1956 to a miximum of 20,000.
This, he projects, will save
25 million pounds to swell an
anticipated 50 million pounds to
be raised by special defense tax
envisioned in the Lavon plan.

The Israel Cabinet, mean-
while, approved a number of
measures tightening governmen-
tal control over skilled person-
nel needed by 'the military or
by settlements. One such action
was to approve an amendment
to existing emergency regula-
tions valid for one year which
was submitted by the Defense
Ministry.
This requires all reservists of
military age to have their exit
visas approved by military
authorities before leaving the
country. In the past, the Minis-
ter of Interior had sole dis-
cretion to grant or withhold
visas after constltation with the
military. A Ministry of Defense
spokesman explained that - the
amendment was not aimed at
preventing "mass" exits' but
rather to give it greater control

Feeney Publication Gets
Publicity in Hate Sheets
BOSTON, (JTA)—Father Leo-
nard Feeney and his followers
have begun to get support from
two long-time anti-Semitic agit-
ators—Gerald L. Smith and
Gerald Winrod.
In a joint report issued by the
Jewish Community Council of
Boston and the B'nai B'rith
Anti-Defamation League, it was
pointed out that "The Point,"
the publication of the excom-
municated priest, had received
publicity fin Smith's paper, "The
Cross and the Flag," and Win-
rod's "The Defender."

over movement of skilled ,tech-
nicians . needed b y- a r me d
services.
A second manpower control
measure was amending of the
law promulgated by the Pro-
visional government in 1948 giv-
ing authorities a right to mo-
bilize any individual or class
of persons for any task set by
the Ministry of Labor.
Since there is currently a
scarcity of physicians, nurses,
teachers and agricultural in-
structors available, the Cab-
inet set up a committee of
six ministers to seek volun-
tary means of increasing set-
tlement of such personnel in
rural communities.
If this proves impossible, per-
sonnel in these categories will
be mobilized under the labor
draft and placed in agricultural

settlements in some of which
the situation- is so serious that
settlers are threatening to leave
because they cannot obtain
medical services and educators.
