Here by Movement's Women's Pres.

Describing worldwide ORT
activities as she viewed them
on her tours of Israel, North
Africa and European centers,
Mrs. Victor Segal, of Philadel-
phia, president of Women's
American ORT, speaking to a
large group of local leaders and
members of the movement,
Wednesday, at Temple Israel,
eloquently described the man-
ner in which tens of thousands
of young Jews are being pre-
pared for useful careers.
"Ours is truly an .effort for
`rehabilitation through training'
—the real meaning of ORT,"
Mrs. Segal said.
Since the last war, Mrs. Segal
reported, more than 250,000
young Jews were assisted
through ORT rehabilitation cen-
ters. In . Israel alone, there are
presently 4,000 young Jews who
are learning trades in 60 ORT
installations.
Mrs. Segal is looking for-
ward eagerly to another trip
to Israel, in May, to be pres-
ent the following month at
the dedication of the new Tel
Aviv center.
"I feel very strongly about
our work in Israel," Mrs. Segal
said. "Those who are trained in
ORT centers are better prepared
for the work of defense and for
the integration of newcomers
into the country's economy. Our
students earn while training for
productive pursuits. Thus, they
prepare for a wholesome future

_ Select Israel as Site
For Two Conferences
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Two

the Middle East a particularly

Silent Revolution

LOVEN
JTA Correspondent in Switzerland

By DAVID

GENEVA — They come from
Tunis, Morroca, Algiers—from
ghettos — where only shadows
drench the narrow, winding
streets. They come from the
teeming bazaars of Iran. Some
are from Rome — sons of the
Jewish poor. They come from
France, England, Belgium. From
Israel—they come with zeal for
new challenges to conquer. •
To them, ORT is not just a
mere name, but the powerhouse
of a new world in the making.
To them, it has become a sym-
bol of hope for many Jews
crushed in spirit and faced with
a bleak future. This may sound
an extravagant claim, but let
the facts speak for themselves.
Seventy six years ago, ORT
was a dream of a few lonely,
Russian pioneers who, with
great _vision, saw the torment
of the economically rootless.
To them, this was no mere exer-
cise in history, but a great hu-
man problem.
Jews, in many corners of the
.world, had been deprived of
their birthright—the right to
work and earn their bread.
Among them were men of high
professional skill, often ac-
quired at great personal sacri-
fice and hardship. But sthe door
was slammed on them. They
could not use their skills. They
could add nothing to making
the world better than what they
found it.
To salvage the unskilled
wreckage of despotic govern-
ments and blind hatred was a
problem to which the pioneers
of ORT were dedicated. In
MO, the call went out, but
was answered by only a
trickle. It takes a long time to
renew the faith that men once
had.
Let us cite fact: 1. Since that
date hundreds of thousands of
handicraft, industrial and agri-
cultural trainees have passed
through the doors of ORT. 2.
ORT now works in 27 countries,
straddles continents and has
emergency adult training pro-
grams in North Africa and Iran.
Dr. Aron Syngalowski, leader
of World ORT Union, never
tires of hammering this lesson
home: "Our people are not
merely craftsmen—they have a
mission."

State Dept. Trick?

Gefilte Fish for Passover

Israel's Hopes
Frustrated

By MILTON FRIEDMAN

(Copyright, 1956, JTA, Inc.)

WASHINGTON — The U. S.
Government has not only de-
nied U. S. jet planes to Israel
but State Department officials
are subtly sabotaging Israel's
chances of getting such planes
from France.
Recently France indicated a
warm humanitarian response to
Israel's military plight. Negoti-
ations were opened to sell Israel
12 new "Mystere IV" jet fight-
er planes. The "Mystere IV" is
a competent match for Egypt's
new Russian MIG's.
France made known that
secrecy was required to avoid
placing an unnecessary addi-
tional burden on French-Arab
relations. The transaction was
kept out of the press by the
French and Israel governments.-
In due course the United States
was officially advised of the
pending deal.
State Department officials im-
mediately a n d deliberately
leaked a story to reporters. It
said, in effect, that the United
States was "urging" France to
sell the planes. The story men-
tioned the specific number and
type. It was pointed out that
American permission was re-
quired under NATO regulations
and that this government ap-
proved.
This unexpected "support" by
the State Department accom-
plished its deliberately calcu-
lated purpose. France was em-
barrassed by the publicity. Ne-
gotiations with Israel became
hopelessly complicated.
A French diplomatic source ,
said American authorities who
publicly "urged" France to do
what France was already on
the verge of doing ruined the
hitherto secret negotiations.
These American officials, the
French diplomat said, were
"certainly no friends of Is-
rael."
-Onc-e the story was out, Paris
quickly reacted. The French
stressed that if the United States
sincerely wanted Israel to have
jet fighters, the United. States
produced many more than
France. In fact, the United
States had hundreds of surplus
F-86's available. The French
thought the United States was
trying to confuse world public
opinion on the Israel arms ques-
tion and at the same time pass
the buck to France.
•If the United States wanted
France to risk further Arab hos-
tility, in the French view, the
State Department should be pre-
pared to aid France in Morocco
and should be prepared to aid
France in North Africa. In the
event French sale of planes to
Israel represented a tripartite
decision, France thought the tri-
partite powers should share the
consequences.
One thing was clear. 'The
State Department's leakage
• cleverly frustrated Israel's
immediate . hopes of getting
the 12 French fighters. The
issue was now involved in
broader complexities.
What was the motivation? A
State Department source ex-
plained that America's "best
interest" required that Israel be
refused arms. He alleged that
should the Western nations sell
munitions to Israel the Arabs
would enter the Communist em-
brace. But Egypt has been sleep-
ing with the Communists since
last September.
