Some 50,000 Jews have "van- ished" in Brazil in recent years according to a census report re- cently released in that country. Statistically there are probably as many Jews in Brazil now as there were some . years a g 0, 120,000, but some 50,000 of them, it appears, deliberately con- cealed or refused to identify themselves with their - Jewish origin. The size of the figure is rather disturbing since it shows widespread existence of fear in the Jewish community. Since there aren't too many Jews in- the hinterlands to account for the situation it must be assumed that Jews in large cities have concealed their identities. * * Paternity laws in Israel are governed by halachic law which provides that no man can be deemed - the father of a child without his consent: A bill in Knesset would give equal weight to the mother as to the child's paternity. * * * Some 50,000 tourists visited Israel last year, a third of them Christians. * * * Congressional circles are keeping an eye on the current developments in the Middle East with a view to determining whether the sudden reasonable- ness of the Arab states is not in effect designed to conceal arms deals more disturbing than those already announced.

"In planning your community structure," he said to the con- ferees, "you must give first consideration to this question of Jewish survival of Jewish traditional, social and cultural institutions. In planning your community structure you must give first consideration to this question of Jewish survival be- cause whatever you build will be meaningless if there are no Jews in the future to use the structures you build. We do not want to erect monuments. We want to help maintain in- stitutions that will make the Jewish community richer and efforts to restore themselves to' positions of s t r e n g t h and security." Saul Kagan, Claims Confer- ence secretary, warned that availability of Claims Confer- ence Rinds was limited and that since the organization hopes to make a lasting CG—tribution with limited funds it is "focuss- ing its attention more and more on granting of special one-time contributions and less on cur- rent maintenance." • fuller, and we hope more Jewish."
