Hundreds of Hungarian and Egyptian Jewish refugees were among those aided. ORT is the world-wide" agency for vocational training and economic aid to Jews in need and distress. The report, in the form of an "ORT Year- book-1957," was released by Dr. William Haber, president of the American ORT Federa- tion. Educators Urge Inter-Group Schools Eighty-five educators, sociolo- gists, psychologists and inter- group relations specialists, in a report released this week, urged that, in the interests of better intergroup relations, public schools draw pupils from "di- versified" rather than from "homogeneous" districts. At the least, the group of experts remarked, public school system should "integrate their faculties, school districting pro- cedures to ensure against gerry- mandering for the purpose of excluding particular groups" and take particular precautions to avoid overly large classes and to provide high quality of instruction in "difficult tension areas." They recommended "that careful, sympathetic considera- tion be given to suggestions for redistricting and rezoning school districts to eliminate seg- regation and for other steps aimed at curbing the growing drift toward one-group schools." "Vocational training in Eu- rope, which had declined since the DP days," has once again become an urgent necessity" as a result of the large numbers of "new refugees" from Hun- gary and Egypt, the report ob- serves The largeest ORT pro- gram is in Israel, where over a third of the trade schools for youth in the country are main- tained by ORT, the report states. In all, there were 81 training units of ORT in Israel last year, located in 21 cities and towns. According to the Yearbook, ORT conducted 391 trade high schools, adult worshops appren- tice plans and agricultural sta- tions in 1956. More than 60 different skills were taught to 22,716 persons by 757 teachers. About three-fourths of this stu- dent body consisted of boys and girls in their teens, who were provided with two, three and four year secondary educations, along with technical studies. For • these youth, most of them in North Africa, Israel and Iran, the ORT school was the only means available for a high ed- ucation, the report notes. Cost of ORT activities was $4,125,391 in 1956. Israel Faces $500 Million Home Project NEW YORK (JTA)—Levi Ashkol, Israel Minister of Fi- nance, declared here that Israel faces the necessity of embark- ing on a five-year building pro- gram to construct 25,000 to 30,- 000 homes annually at a total cost of $500,000,000 to house an estimated immigration of more than 300,000 refugees during that period. Speaking at a dinner that marked the launching of a new $3,000 denomination Israel bond for housing development, the Israel government leader stressed that the building pro- gram in Israel was essential to meet "a wave of immigration" from Eastern Europe, North Af- rica and other parts of the world. "A million Jews face our an- cient misfortune, forced wan- dering," he told 700 persons attending the dinner a the Roosevelt Hotel. "About a third of a million are waiting impatiently to come to Israel and they will come in the next few years." In response to Eshkol's re- port on Israel's needs, William Mazer, chairman of the Greater New York Israel Bond Commit- tee, who presided, announced that more than $500,000 in Israel bonds had been purchased at the dinner. Eshkol pointed up the portance of the new $3,000 Is- rael bond that was issued spe- cially to aid in meeting the housing crisis. Explaining that each housing unit would cost approximately $3,000, he said "Israel bonds are now being issued in a new and special denomination of $3,000, specifically for immi- grant housing. Those who buy the new issues will be invest- ing in building homes for new- comers—and they will be known as Builders of Israel." Report Rival Nominations for Arab. League Post LONDON, (WJA)—Col.

Briscoe Out By Drop of a Hat DUBLIN, (Special) — Ex- actly as he won his job a year ago—by the drop of a hat— Lord Mayor Robert Briscoe, of Dublin, Ireland, lost it this week. The dynamic Briscoe, first Jew ever to hold office as Dublin's chief magistrate, tied with James Carroll at 21 votes apiece in the city coun- cil. The election was decided by drawing from a hat. Car- roll won the straw just as Briscoe had won it last year after he had tied with Dennis Larkin. During his tenure in office, Briscoe toured this country, both on behalf of promoting Irish tourism and speaking for the United Jewish Ap- peal. Only a week ago, the dra- matic story of his life as an Irishman and a Jew was shown by Columbia Broad- casting System in a 90-min- ute telecast in major cities throughout the United States. Briscoe appeared in De- troit for UJA in March, when he officially opened the Al- lied Jewish Campaign. .
