Charles E. Feinberg and State of Israel Honored
by Friends of Library of University of Detroit

brary of the University of Detroit, there were two displays of Israeli-
made objects and books on Israel, as shown in the accompanying
photo. The display includes Menorahs, jugs, rare volumes, a photo-
graph of President Itzhak Ben-Zvi of Israel and the Israel Proclama-
tion of Independence.

The display was in honor of Israel's tenth anniversary—and in
tribute to Charles E. Feinberg, who that night was elected president
of the Friends of the U. of D. Library.
Four prominent D.e t r o i t
Jewish leaders are members of
a joint national commission of
the Council of Jewish Federa-
tions and Welfare Funds and
the National Jewish Welfare
Board which has just publish-
ed a statement of principles on
relationships between local
Jewish federations and Jewish
community centers. Jerome N.
Curtis, of Cleveland, Commis-
sion Chairman, made the an-
nouncement. The Detroiters
are:
Morris Garvett, Harvey Gold-
man, Irwin Shaw and Isidore
Sobeloff.
The statement spotlights the
areas of responsibilities of
Federations and Centers. Rec-
ognizing the interdependence
of both in the general welfare
of the community, the state-
ment stresses that understand-
ing and respect for "each oth-
er's function and competence
is essential to harmonious and
."
fruitful relationship .
In planning for Jewish com-
munal needs, the Federation
assumes overall responsibility,
with the Center and other com-
munity organizations amply
represented. The Center, on
the other hand, assumes re-
sponsibility for "continuous
evaluation and planning in its
area of service." This includes
ongoing programs, new serv-
ices and efforts to meet unmet
needs. It also feeds its own
views into the overall planning
process.
The statement of principles
recommends that the Federa-
tion become involved in the
Center's relationship to the
Community Chest. If the Fed-
eration does not make any al-
location to the Center, the
statement declares that "it is
nevertheless desirable that the
Center consult with the Fed-
e r a t i o n in establishing its
budget."

The Washington Post report

journalist, who brought out the
following facts:
1. In Czechoslovakia, the sec-

completely purged of Jews—and

that the present Cabinet is al-

2. In Romania, Jews have
been eliminated from top gov-

ber of Jewish military officers
have been retired.
3. In Poland, Premier Go-

Taylor said reports reaching

land, Hungary or Romania,
want to emigrate to Israel or
elsewhere. A great number of
Jews even among those most

Report Hike in
Number of Jews

NEW YORK (JTA)—Jewish
vocational guidance and place-
ment agencies in 18 major cities
of the United States report in-
creasing calls on their services,
with more job applicants regis-
tering and with employers ex-
hibiting a greater degree of
selectivity in hiring practices,
according to Leonard H. Cohn,
president of the Jewish Occu-
pational Council, national coor-
dinating and planning agency
of Jewish vocational services.
Cohn noted that the number
of unemployed coming into
Jewish agencies was between
16 and 30 percent higher in the
first quarter of 1958 than in
the same period of 1957.
While employers have been
more selective in hiring, job
seekers have become less so
under the pressure of the re-
cession. This view is expressed
by many applicants' offering to
"take any job at all."
During 1957, the 18 report-
ing agencies—supported by Jew-
ish federations, welfare funds
and citywide community chests
—serviced 73,000 different job
applicants and requests for vo-
cational guidance. They made
over 16,000 placements a quar-
ter of them refugees. In addi-
tion, some 5,000 Jewish youths
received guidance with choice
of careers and schools.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Ad-
miral Lewis Strauss, chairman
of the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion, announced that the U.S.
Government will contribute
$350,000 toward the cost of a
nuclear research reactor proj-
ect being undertaken by the
Israel Atomic Energy Commis-
sion. The reactor will be located
at an Israel atomic center near
Rehovoth.
Admiral Strauss praised Is-
rael's scientific progress and
predicted that Israel will be
one of the first nations to reach
a practical stage in the estab-
lishment of a nuclear reactor.
The U.S. will lease necessary
fuel for the reactor to Israel.
At a ceremony at AEC head-
quarters, Ambassador A b b a
Eban expressed appreciation to
the United States and described
the importance of Israel's
atomic - research plans. Israel is
the tenth nation to receive fi-
nancial assistance from the
United States under President
Eisenhower's "atoms for peace"
program. The Israel government
has estimated the cost of its
nuclear program at $1,410,000.
The reactor to be provided
Israel is a one megawatt hetero-
genous pull type. It will be the
primary facility of the develop-
ing Israel nuclear research pro-
gram. A radio chemistry labo-
ratory for nuclear research and
isotope separation, a physics
and electronics laboratory, ma-
chine shops, health, physics,
and waste-disposal services are
some of the other facilities
which will comprise the nuclear
center.
