Haifa Harbor Facilities Expanded Shragai Praises Polish Policy on Israel Immigration (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The 'Jewish News) LONDON—The Polish gov- ernment was praised here by S. Z. Shragai, head of the Jewish Agency's immigration depart- ment, for showing an under- standing of the desire of many Jews in Poland to emigrate to Israel. Addressing a press conference, he said that some of the recent immigrants in Israel come from areas where Yiddish culture was unknown and where there had been no Zionist propaganda for decades. He pointed out that -they constitute "excellent ma- terial," but, at the same time, their lack of education in Rains Cause Damage in Negev TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Heavy rains in the Beersheba area of the 'Negev have caused consid- .erable damage to harvested crops. Beersheba has had 12 inches of rain since the first of the year, about 50 per cent more than normal. At Elath a rain storm was accompanied by lightning and 45 mile per hour winds. Rains as late as this may have set a mark for the last century's weather. his- tory. As a result of Israel Development Bond investments, Israel's _ seaport of Haifa continues to undergo a program •of expansion and modernization. Israel Bond funds, which were utilized to increase Haifa- Harbor's annual capacity from 1,300,000 tons to 4,000,000. tons, are now being used to improve the facilities along the waterfront, including warehouses, storage tanks, dry docks, repair shops, and special loading wharfs. One of Haifa Harbor's most productive Israel Bond projects is its floating dry clock (seen here servicing the Israel freighter "Gefen"), which has become a steady source of revenue for Israel. The huge dry dock, which can be tied up to any pier along the shore, is capable of taking care of vessels up to 12,000 tons of loading capacity. During the past two years, the floating repair base has handled a gross tonnage of more than 290,000 tons. By servicing Israeli and foreign ships on a round-the-clock basis, the dry dock plays a vital role in maintaining Haifa as the best natural port in the Middle East. , "Jewishness" raised many spiri- tual problems in Israel. The immigration chief re- vealed that at this moment 200,000 Jews would like to come to Israel, but that no more than 100,000 could be ac- cepted because of a lack of facilities. Shragai said that since last October 60,00,0 Jews had come into Israel.- He predicted that only about 5,000 Jews would remain in Egypt and asserted that for "all practical purposes" an organized Jewish community no longer existed in that coun- try. Although he expressed hope that Romanian Jews would be allowed to -come to Israel to join members of their family already there. He was pessimis- tic about the likelihood.
