Infant Mortality Ebbs,
But Still High in Israel

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Ministry of Health reported
that, while the Israel infant
mortality rate was lower last
year than in the previous two
years, it was still much higher
than in pre-state days, when
the rate was the lowest in the
world.

The rate in 1958 was 30.9 per
thousand compared with 33.6 in
1957 and 35.5 in 1956. The
Ministry said the higher rate
was caused by the large influx
of Oriental immigrants who
have a low standard of infant
care. Israel institutions are
working virgorously to teach
Oriental mothers Western stan-
dards, and to cut the • infant
death rate.

The Ministry also reported
that a similar educational cam-
paign was being conducted
among Arabs in Israel, and the
infant mortality rate of Israel
Arabs has been nearly halved
in the past decade--from 100 per
thousand to 51 per thousand.
