By Jewish News Correspondent PHILADELPHIA. — The 69th annual meeting of the Jewish Publication Society of America, held here all day Sunday, at the Warwick Hotel, heard an appeal from its president, Edwin Wolf 2nd, for the enrollment of 100,- 000 American Jews as members of the society. Outlining the great contribu- tions made by the JPS during the past few years, Wolf stated that while there are constant membership i n or eases and marked advances in book sales, they represent only a fraction of the Jews of America. The "success story," he stated; there- fore needs implementation, since there are hundreds of thousands of Jewish homes that are with- out Jewish books. The JPS president reported that the membership had in- creased from 88'74 in 1955 to 9419 in 1956 and the sale of Bibles and books from 114,000 to 124,000. He acclaimed the work of Dr. Harry Orlinsky and his associates who are en- gaged in the preparation of a new translation of the Hebrew Bible, and congratulated the editor of the society, Dr. Solo- mon Grayzel, on his having been selected for the annual Weil Literary Award of the Jewish Welfare Board. Judge Louis E. Levinthal, who presented the report of the pub- lication committee, and other officers of the society, joined in congratulating Dr. Grayzel on the honors accorded him na- tionally. Judge Levinthal reported on the important publications due this year and in 1958, including Israel President Itzhak Ben- Zvi's portrayal of Jewish Orien- tal communities. Supplementing Wolf's call for the enrollment of 100,000 new members, Lesser Zuss- man, executive secretary of the JPS, urged a "vigorous membership campaign to help decrease the cost of printing" CHECK ALL THE OTHERS .. • Then see me for the Best Deal on the Best Buick Yet — The '57 Buick Charles Weinstock at BUICK'S RETAIL STORE 6164 CASS AVE.

Schiff Fund had allocated a sum of $100,000 for the re- modeling and improvement of the JPS In an address to the annual meeting on "NeW Light on the Eternal Book," Prof. E. A. Speiser of the University of Pennsylvania• outlined the im- portance of the new Bible translated undertaken by JPS. He declared that Bible trans- lation can never be a finished project. The Bible, he empha- sized, is not an abstract of le- galism but of idealism tested by experience. While the translation is "al- ways a thankless and hazardous job," Dr. Speiser said that the work of modem scholars is now greatly aided because "we now know more about the ancient world and can come much closer to the Bible context." He stated that in view of numerous errors "a new Jewish Publica- tion Society version had to come." He devoted his address to explanations of numerous mistranslations and explained how the translator does justice to complex situations by illu- strating how the JPS trans- Mission to Discuss U.S. Loan to Israel to Arrive in July JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The mission of the U.S. Export-Im- port Bank, which is to discuss Israel's application for a $75,- 000,000 loan, will arrive in Is- rael on July 15.

He stressed "the warm friendship uniting Israel and France" in a message to the national con- vention of the Women's Division of the American Jewish Con- gress now taking place here. The message, which was read to the 650 delegates at the convention by French Ambas- sador M. Herve Alphand, said: "It is important for all the free 'peoples caring for justice and democracy to show their solid- arity with. Israel. It is important that world opinion realize that the very principles of inter- national law are involved in the settlement of the problems facing Israel, be it that of the free passage of its ships through the Suez Canal, the free navi- gation in the Straits of Tiran and in the Gulf of Aqaba, or, even more so, of the general peace settlement in the Near East to which it is entitled."
