Iraqi Immigrants
Praise New Regime

JERUSALEM, (WJA)—Favor-
able reports on the new Iraqi
regime were brought to Israel
by a group of Iraqi Jews who
arrived in Israel, bearing Iraqi
"Laissez-Passer", according to
Jerusalem Post.
Mostly under 30 years of age,
well-dressed, and some bringing
foreign currency with them,
members of the group described
the new regime in Iraq as "very
good; it is distributing land to
the poor; the new regime is
popular among the Iraqi peo-
ple."
Some of the immigrants said
that they had been serving
"political" sentences of 10 years
or more, in fetters, when the
recent revolution took place.
The new regime had released
them from prison and offered
to allow them to leave the coun-
try if they agreed to give up
Iraqi citizenship.

lions to Adm. Rickover and
Comdr. Anderson.
There have been indications
that the repeated snubs by
high Navy officers and the
withholding of his promotion
to Vice Admiral was due to
the fact that he is a Jew. This
has been denied by Assistant
Navy Secretary Richard Jack-
son in a letter to the House
Armed Services Committee.
Adm. Rickover, according to
a statement by his father, an
83-year-old Jewish tailor of
Chicago, is interested in Jewish
problems and contributes to
Jewish philanthropic institu-
tions.
He was born in the town of
Makova, near Flock, in Poland,
and was brought to this coun-
try as a boy of 6. He studied
at Annapolis, from which he
graduated in 1922 with the
highest honors. He was later
sent by the Navy to study at
Columbia University as an
electrical engineer and has
been with the Navy since.

Drop Privileaed Exchange Rate'
for Middle-Class Israeli Newcomers

TEL AVIV (JTA-Declaring
that there is no justification
for the special exchange rate
now given to new immigrants,
Israel's Finance Minister Levi
Eshkol announced that the dif-
ference between the official
rate of exchange and the
special rate given to middle- -
class immigrants, hitherto paid
by the Treasury, will hence-
forth be made available to the
newcomers by the Jewish
Agency as a special loan.
Eshkol said that because of
the need to maintain and en-
courage exports, the practice
of a number of exchange rates
for exporters earning foreign
currency would have to be
continued.
The Finance Minister stated
he would not recommend a
higher exchange premium to
citrus exporters and that he
would not agree to a higher
premium on foreign currency
earnings of the Zim Navigation

ditures were higher than
throughout the world. He
stressed the need for cutting
production thus to permit
carrying out necessary projects
at normal world prices.
Leon Dulzin, director of the
Jewish Agency economic de-
partment, expressed fears that
the new Israel Treasury regu-
lations ending special exchange
premium for new immigrants
with capital would create
hardships for middle-class im-
migrants and deter their corn-
ing to Israel.
A continuation of Israel's
inflationary trends during the
first half of 1958, partly due
to a 10 per cent increase in
Israel's international trade
deficit, was reported in a Bank
of Israel survey.
The bank also predicted that
the forecast of agricultural
output for the full year would
be 20 to 25 per cent higher
than in s 1957. Also reported
was a 25 per cent increase in
the number of buildings com-
pleted in the first quarter and
a six per cent rise in indus-
trial wages.

eral industries in cal but 4 of
