JERUSALEM — Three princi-
pal subjects of the two-week
meeting of the World Zionist
Actions Committee which opens
here Wednesday will be the
condition of the Jewish people
abroad, immigration and ab-
sorption and Zionist education
and youth work, Avraham Har-
man, member of the Jewish
Agency executive, announced
Monday.
1 Sixty of the 140 members of
the Actions Committee repre-
sent Zionist organizations
abroad, and most of them have
indicated they will participate
in the sessions, Harman said.
The meeting will deal with a
situation radically different
from that of the past five years.
Harman said that in the first
four years of statehood, a back-
log of mass immigration was
cleared up and that a consider-
able drop in immigration oc-
curred in the next five years.
The opening of migration op-
portunities in countries previ-
ously closed and the new wave
of mass immigration during the
past six months showed the
existence of a considerable
"Jewish problem," solvable only
by mass immigration, he said.
From October, 1956, to June,
1957, more than 67,000 immi-
grants arrived here compared
with 51,000 for the previous
12-month period.

Committee Delegation

ROME (JTA)—An American
Jewish Committee delegation
arrived in Tunisia after visit-
ing Pope Pius XII in the first
audience of the Pontiff with
a Jewish group, during which
the Pope condemned racial dis-
crimination and persecution of
Jews.
In a prepared statement, also
believed to be the first in such
audiences, Pope Pius declared
his solidarity with the AJC
fight for the rights of man.
In appealing to all governments
to aid refugees, the Pontiff
singled out anti-Semitism for
condemnation.
He thanked Irving M. Engel,
AJC president, for bringing
a message of greeting from
Chief Rabbi Isaac Halevi Her-
zog of Israel.
Other events during the
Rome stay of the delegation
included a reception from
American Ambassador James'
D. Zellerbach and from Foreign
Minister Giuseppe Pella.
