Rafael of Labor Mizr•chi crit- icized the Jewish Agency's lack of provision of religious facili- ties in new settlements. During his summation at the end of the debate, Mr. Eshkol pointed out to religious dele- gates that the Agency supplied settlements with such religious amenities as synagogues, ritual baths and cemeteries, but that the Ministry for Religion was responsible for the maintenance of functionaries in settlements. He told all speakers that unless there was considerable rise in income there was no possibility of fulfilling even a fraction of the needs outline* by different members of the Actions Com- mittee. • Dr. Giora Josepthal, Jewish Agency treasurer, reported that cultural and personal reasons were more often re- _sponsible than economic con- ditions for emigration of Jews from Israel. A recent survey revealed, he said, that 40 per- cent of the people leaving Israel did not speak Hebrew. Three - fourths of all emi- grants, Dr. Josephthal disclosed, had come to Israel since the State was established. Twenty per cent were pre-1948 immi- grants and the remaining five per cent were Israel-born. Some 8,000 persons left Israel in 1953, he said - 5,300 in 1954, 3,500 in 1955 and 3,200 in the first half of this year. Among reasons they gave for leaving Were to rejoin families abroad, inability to work at for- mer professions, inability to find a place for themselves in Israel society, economic reasons and lack of adequate living quarters. Two-thirds of all emi- g r a n t s went to the United States, Canada and Australia. An increase in immigration to 60,000 for the year was proposed to the Smaller Zionist Council by S. Z. Shragai, head of the Immigration Department of the Domestic Oil to Save Israel $4,000,000 JERUSALEM ( JTA)—Israel's domestic oil output, without reckoning on production from new wells, will save the coun- try's economy an estimated $4,000,000 in foreign exchange during 1957. Output of the Heletz wells, hitherto kept down for technical reasons, is now being stepped up. The increased yield will make it practicable to ship the oil from the Heletz field to the Haifa refineries by rail instead of lorry, thus cutting transpor- tation costs by a third. It was disclosed here that oil has been struck at Heletz VI, which is to the east of wells now in production. This strike indicated that the Heletz field is wider than had been thought. Dr. Goldmann Hopeful of Moroccan Agreement There is hope that an agree- ment will be reached through negotiations to enable all Mo- roccan Jews who wish to mi- grate to leave that North Afri- can country for Israel or any other land, Dr. Nahum Gold- mann, president of the World Zionist Organization, told the Zionist Actions Committee. He reported that the experience of recent months had given ground for such hopes. He said that the freedom of exit of Moroccan Jews is a "principle we cannot forego." He noted the hopeful declar- a.tions of the Sultan and Pre- mier of Morocco on this matter and said they would honor their word. Authorities in both Tunis and Morocco have kept their promises regarding Jewish equality, he pointed out, but economic conditions have de- teriorated and the situation of the Jews — always difficult — had worsened. Referring to the situation in Eastern Europe, he said that the door to Jewish emi- gration had been opened slightly and that the first group of Jews to be permitted to go to Israel from Poland in recent years would start with- in a few months. He ex- pressed the hope that this migratory flow would be fol- lowed by the movement of Jews from other states in the region. The Zionist Organization, he reported, had reason to be sat- isfied by the results of fund- raising last year, particularly through the United Jewish Ap- peal and the Israel Bond cam- paigns in the United States. Ex- cellent results were also ob- tained in South Africa, Brazil, Venezuela, Finland, and Swed- en, he said.

ASHKELON, (JTA)—A "tar- dy" feather, Sa'adia Yihye, of nearby Zvadiel, has reported to the District Health Office here that his daughter, Zahara, is missing. Asked to supply pertinent in- formation to aid in the search, he mentioned that she had been gone for seven years. He added she had been taken away by a "hospital nurse" in 1949. Asked why he waited so long to report; he told questioners that he thought he had better make an official notification be- cause his daughter's draft no- Agency. tice had just arrived in the Jewish It was announced that immi- mail. • -.(k. vo, Further inquiry revealed a possible motive for the long sil- ence—the family had continued to use the girl's ration card. gration into Israel during 5716 reached the total of 51,300.

Should needs increase further, he un derlined, still greater efforts will be required. He said that relations be- tween the Zionist movement and the Israel government were "satisfactory and cooper- ative." He announced that the government-Jewish Agency co- ordinating board would prob- ably meet for the first time since the Zionist Congress when Premier David Ben-Gurion re- turns from vacation. The Agency, he pointed out, places great importance in the per- manent, systematic working of the • board on problems other than immigration and settle- ment. He expressed hope that tighter and more regular links would be developed between the government and the Agency.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The United States has made "very little progress" toward solving Arab - Israel difficulties, Presi- dent Eisenhower told a White House press conference. He said general American policies were, on the whole, being imple- mented favorably. In the Middle East, the Presi- dent stated, the United States had hoped the Johnston plan for the Jordan River Valley water development project might have helped ease tensions. However, he said, the Johnston plan has so far proved itself unaccept- able, not because of technical differences but because of po- litical hostility. Israel has agreed to the Johnston plan but the Arab governments have not.

Member Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation JEWISH NEWS—Friday, Septemb er 14, 19 56 (Continued from Page 1) Mapai leader Abrahkrn Hartz- feld expressed the hope that the Israel government would be able to obtain a loan from the United States Export-Import Bank exclusively for agricul- tural purposes, and asked that such funds . be devoted to a con- solidation of new settlements. He urged expansion by the es- tablishment of 30 to 40 new set- tlements annually, and hoped that world Jewry would under- stand that this was the best means of absorbing newcomers. General Zionist delegates I. Golan and Baruch Winstein criticized the lack of capital available for new settlers and the fact that funds were still being set up along party lines. Mr. Golan asked that the agency's settlement staff be in- creased so that it could offer more assistance and guidance to new settlers, many of whom had no previous experience on farms. Machnai of Herut expressed satisfaction that 22 new settle- ments had come into being since the last Zionist Congress and asked for more assistance for settlements located in hilly areas of the country. He asked that a revolving fund be set up
