$500 Million Plan
-to Develop Negev

. JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
five-year development plan for
the southern section of the
Negev desert, involving ex-
penditures totalling 900,000,000
Israeli pounds ($500,000,000),
was considered by- the govern-
ment, after submission of the
plan to the entire Cabinet.
The plan envisages an in-
crease of the area's popula-
tion . by 80,000, and the pro-
vision of 35,000 additional jobs
in the region.
Of the newly employed,
13,000 would be given jobs in
new industries connected with
development of the Negev's
natural resources, processing
or otherwise preparing for ex-
port many of the raw materials
found in the desert.
• These materials would be
exported through the Port of
Elath to countries in Africa
and Asia.
Many other workers would
be employed in a growing pro-
duction of consumer goods for
the Negev's increased popula-
tion. One part of the program
calls for settlement of 5,000
nomadic Bedouins on agricul-
tural lands, making farmers
of the Bedouin tribesmen.

PARIS (JTA)—A represen-
tative of the French Jewish
refugees accused the French
government of flagrant anti-
Jewish bias in "failing to re-
act" to discrimination by the
United Arab Republic • against
French Jewish nationals in
Egypt.
Henri Cohen, in a letter to
the influential Paris daily, Le
Monde, asserted that French
Jews, who formed- 90 per cent
of the French colony in Egypt,
had been barred from return-
ing to their homes after the
Suez - crisis.
Cohen said this action was
taken by UAR authorities de-
spite an article of the Franco-
Egyptian financial agreement
signed in Zurich last August.
Declaring that the French
Jewish refugees have been
placed' on a black list by the
Cairo authorities, Cohen stated
that the French government
had reacted "only feebly" to
this discrimination because "it
wants to renew its commercial
ties with Egypt even if it must
sacrifice French citizens of the
Jewish faith"to do so.
He added that the situation
of the French Jewish refugees
was tragic. He reported that
they were mainly former mer-
chants, industrialists and land-
owners who have usually
passed the normal employ-
ment age and must live on
small government subsidies.
He said that if their property
in Egypt were transferred to
France, it would enable them
to resume a productive life.
The Cohen statement con-
tended that not a single French
Jew had been granted the visa
needed to enable him to return
to Egypt to settle the issue
of his property there.
It was learned from the
World Jewish Congress, how-
ever, that a very small number
of French Jews had returned
to Egypt but they have met
with consistent bad faith on
the part of Cairo authorities.
The returning French Jews
have been unsuccessful in ef-
forts to obtain return of their
sequestrated or confiscated
properties.

Territory of Hawaii in 1856.
Many of them have intermar-
ried. It was in the last 30• years
that a semblance of a Jewish
community has begun to func-
tion in cooperation with leading
American Jewish - movements.
Thus, in 1935, a church build-
ing was leased and Holy Day
services were conducted by
Rabbi Kenneth Carlton ZWerin.
In 1939 this leased church
building was acquired by the
community and became Hon-
olulu's first synagogue.
A Bnai Brith lodge was
formed in Honolulu in 1930 and
its members conducted a drive
in 1937 and sent the JDC con
tributions of $2,500.
The Jewish Welfare Board
has been active there and in
1941 its representative, Rabbi
Harry R. Richmond, U.S. Army
Chaplain, conducted services.
It is told that a man by the
name of Israel Rosenberg was
popular among the natives 70
years ago and was affectionately
called "Rosey" by them. He was
on intimate terms with King
Kalakana who gave him a
Torah as a gift.
In a report to the World Jew-
ish Congress in New York, Dr.
Israel Goldstein, Chairman of
the WJC's Western Hemisphere
Executive, who recently visited
Hawaii, stated that local Jewish
leaders predict the community
will triple its numbers within
the next three years.
Dr. Goldstein said that the
community was deeply interest-
ed in Jewish affairs in the Uni-
ted States and throughout the
world, and conducts an annual
campaign for the United Jewish
Appeal.
About 200 members of the
community attended a meeting
in which Dr. Goldstein convey-
ed the greetings of the World
Jewish Congress. In a subse-
quent discussion, community
leaders assured Dr. Goldstein
that Hawaii is free of anti-Sem-
itism.
