Deny Immigration of Japanese Jews JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Jewish Agency denied re- ports that immigration from Japan to Israel was expect- ed. "There is no truth in such reports," an Agency spokesman said. He made it clear that the Jewish Agency received no applications from Japan for immigration - and that "it has absolutely no plans for dis- patching missions to Japan regarding immigration." Israel's Per Capita Income Rates First Among New Nations Paper bags for packaging matzos are just one of the many by-products of American Israel Paper Mills, Ltd., Hadera, Israel. The Middle East's first major paper mill, presently un- dergoing a ten million dollar expansion program, provides Israel with paper for newsprint, bond paper, kraft and sulphite papers and book paper. The expansion program, scheduled for completion in 1959, includes construction of a new pulp mill and installation of a second paper machine. This will double the present annual production to 37,000 tons annually, equal to about 75% of Israel's total present annual paper con- sumption.

S. Govern- ment. Israel is listed as having a per capita income of $510 annually. The next highest per capita income for a new state is $310 annually for Malaya. Israel's gross national product is estimated by official U. S. economists at $722 for 1957. That figure is almost twice as much as the next highest gross national product of a Near East- ern state; Lebanon's gross na- tional product is listed as $372. The Israeli gross national prod- uct is more than twice as high as that of either Greece or Tur- key. A number of national Jewish leaders were named among 200 leading citizens who have ac- cepted sponsorship of the Com- mittee for International Eco- nomic Growth, it was announced by Eric Johnston, chairman of the committee which will func- tion as a private, non-partisan group to coordinate and channel information about the Mutual Security Program to national organizations and the general public.
