Israel Bond Drive Passes Million.
Mark for 1957: Aim at $1,500,000
Goal at Abba Eban Dinner Tomorrow
More than $1,000,000 in State
of Israel Bonds have been sold
in Detroit thus far this year,
exceeding by $100,000 the sum
recorded for the entire year of
1956, it was announced by Abe
Kasle, chairman of the Detroit
Committee for State of Israel
Bonds.
Calling attention to the local
Israel Bond drive's 1957 goal
of $1,500,000, Kasle said the
Israel tenth anniversary dinner,
to be held tomorrow evening at
Congregation Adas Shalom,
"will add great impetus to De-
troit's campaign to raise vital
investment capital for Israel's
economic development and im-
migrant absorption."
The dinner, which begins at
6:30 P. M., will feature the ap-
pearance of Israel's Ambassador
to the United States, Abba
Eban. Kasle stated that more
than 650 persons are expected
to attend the dinner, which will
climax the Fall drive for Israel
Bonds here.
Joseph Holtzman is serving
as dinner chairman. He is be-
ing assisted in making prepara-
tions for the affair by a spe-
cial steering committee, com-
prised of 20 outstanding busi-
ness, communal, civic and re-
ligious personalities.
Kasle stressed the importance
of the Tenth Anniversary Din-
ner to the settlement and reha-
bilitation of Israel's new im-
migrants and the maintenance
and expansion of her entire eco-
nomic structure, including the
growth of agriculture, com-
merce and industry and • the
large-scale exploitation of nat-
ural resources.
He emphasizes that the huge
influx if immigrants to Israel's
shores during the past 12
months from Egypt, North Af-
rica, Europe and other areas
has placed a heavy burden on
Israel's Finance Ministry.
"It is for this reason," he
said, "that a special drive to
provide Israel Bond dollars for
housing has been undertaken.
Israel must have $90,000,000 to
provide 30,000 permanent hous-
ing units at a cost of $3,000
apiece. A large proportion of
these funds must be derived
from Israel Bonds, which have
raised some $310,000,000 for the
country's economic development
during the past six and a half
years. Of particular significance
in this connection is the new
Israel Housing Bond, issued in
a $3,000 denomination, repre-
senting the cost of one housing
unit.
"Many of the newcomers now
entering Israel come from
Egypt, while large numbers
come from Hungary and other
European countries. To a large
extent, they are persons who
have skills and training which
are most valuable, and can be
used for Israel's benefit and
their own.
"The Detroit Committee for
State of Israel Bonds has inten-
sified its campaign to raise $1,-
500,000 in 1957. To a great de-
gree, the attainment of this goal
depends on the success of the
Israel tenth anniversary din-
ner on Nov. 30.
"To meet this goal, which
will help to provide homes and
jobs for Israel's new citizens,
the Local Israel Bond Commit-
tee urges the Jewish commun-
ity of Detroit to attend the din-
ner and to purchase State of Is-
rael Development Bonds."

Greenman spoke at a 50th an-
niversary luncheon here at the
Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel. The AJ
Committee is the oldest U.S.
organization combating bigotry,
protecting civil and religious
rights of Jews and advancing
the cause of freedom.
The American Jewish Com-
mittee vice-president reported
that on the basis of conferences
with high Roman Catholic dig-
nitaries in the Vatican, "we
are assured of a decided atti-
tude to combat the age-old prob-
lem of discrimination against
Jews as well as of a view full
of sympathy and understanding
with respect to Israel." Green-
man hailed the Pope's state-
ment which deplored all types
of discrimination, _ including
anti-Semitism, and his "elo-
quent words urging the coun-
tries of the world to provide
safe havens for victims of per-
secution."
With regard to the Holy
Places in Lordan and Israel,
Greenman expressed the dele-
gation's belief that high Catho-
lic officials are interested in
achieveing a practical solution
of the problem. He emphasized
the AJ Committee's view that
the problem "could be solved,
with full retention of sovereign-
ty, by creation of an interna-
tional commission to supervise
Holy Places, preferably under
the aegis of the United
Nations."
NEW YORK (JTA) — Israel

Gen. Dori, who is in the
United States on a two-month

possession of such a reactor
would open new fields of re-
search and make possible ex-
pansion of nuclear physics

He reported that the Tech-
