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."

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 expects to obtain a nuclear re- actor through the help of the United States, Maj. Gen. Yaacov Dori, president of the Haifa In- stitute of Technology, said. Gen. Dori, who is in the United States on a two-month tour of major universities, said possession of such a reactor would open new fields of re- search and make possible ex- pansion of nuclear physics studies in Israel. He reported that the Tech- nionreceived more than 1,000 applications from young people interested in studying science and engineering but could ac- cept only 350.
