Foresees Three-Fold Hike
in U.S. Investments in Israel

Seek President's Group Dr. Goldstein Meets
to End Discrimination New Zealand Premier
in Public Housing Units
WELLINGTON, N. Z. (JTA)

CHICAGO, (JTA) = The
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, parent body of
Reform congregations in the
U.S., has urged the appointment
of a Presidential committee
which would recommend "a
complete program for the elimi-
nation of discrimination in
Federal housing and urban
renewal programs."
The proposal was made by
Rabbi Richard G. Hirsch, direc-
tor of the UAHC Chicago Fed-
eration, and endorsed by the
Chicago Rabbinical Association,
at a hearing on housing of the
Federal Commission on Civil
Rights.
Asserting that the shortage of
adequate housing was "at the
root of the housing problem,"
the UAHC urged Federal and
local housing administrations to
increase the supply of public
and private housing, "particu-
larly for lower and middle-
income families."
Rabbi Hirsch charged that
present public housing "fre-
quently results in the perpetua-
tion and intensification of
segregation," and that the
UAHC therefore was recom-
mending a limitation on the size
of housing projects.
He also suggested that the
site "be such as to permit the
residents to become integrated
into the total community. One
of the major objectives should
be to strive for a mixed rather
than a uniform racial commu-
nity pattern."

Neo-Nazis Show Gains
in Provincial Elections

—American Jews are grateful to
New Zealand for its attitude
toward the United States as well
as its friendship to Israel, Dr.
Israel Goldstein, of New York,
told Walter Nash, New Zea-
land's Prime Minister. Dr. Gold-
stein is here to help New Zea-
land Jewry inaugurate its
United Israel Appeal.
At a conference with Nash,
the American Jewish leader de-
clared that Jews in the U. S.
appreciate New Zealand's
friendship toward Israel, as
shown since the state of Israel
was created.
Nash, emphasizing his gov-
ernment's and his personal cor-
diality toward Israel, told Dr.
Goldstein he is particularly in-
terested in the steps Israel is
taking for the development of
its Negev area.

6,000 Jews in Berlin

Of the 30,000 Jews who re-
main in Germany, out of the
pre-Hitler population of 500,000,
6,000 are in Berlin, the Central
Council of German Jews re-

Jews live in about 60 com-
munities in West Germany, and

Not too long ago, the United
States Committee for Sports in
Israel sent out an announce-
ment to the press that four
Americans had been named to
the board of trustees of the
General Orde Wingate Insti-
tute for Physical Education at
Natanya, Israel.
The plan this year is to com-
plete the "Ambassador Edward
B. Lawson Playing Fields,"
named after the U.S. Ambassa-
dor to the Jewish State who
recently retired. Israelis will
be able to play baseball, basket-
ball, volleyball, handball, ten-
nis, soccer and compete at
track and field—when the field
is finished.
The Institute is planned as
a center for the training of
teachers, coaches and leaders
in physical education, and in
various sports fields.
Gen. Wingate, of course, was
a Bible-reading British officer
who fell in love with the Jew-
ish community of Palestine,
helped train their young men
as soldiers and guerilla figh-
ters, and later was tragically
killed in an air crash in Burma
during World War II.
The four Americans named
as trustees are Sydney S. Baron,
public relations man; Alfred
Fleishman, of Fleishman-Hil-
lard Associates of St. Louis;

Col. Harry Henshel of the
Bulova Watch Co.; and Leonard
Low, a Los Angeles attorney.

Israel Delays Collection
of Compulsory Loan

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Treasury issued instructions to
stay the implementation of the
compulsory loan which was
promulgated to finance immi-
gration from Romania. The fate
of the loan will be decided at
a meeting of the Cabinet.
Deductions from salaries for
the loan were to be started
this month, but employers were
advised to wait for further or-
ders. Second thoughts about the
loan, which was expected to
bring 40,000,000 Israeli pounds,
emerged when the unexpected
flow of Jewish immigration
from Romania was abruptly
halted.

JOHANNESBURG, (JTA)-
The South African Jewish
Board of Deputies and Chief
Rabbi Israel Abrahams of Cape-
town, called on the government
to disapprove elimination of
the "conscience clause" from
the bill pending in Parliament
to establish a university for the
Bantu, the South African Ne-
groes. The Bantu are not per-
mitted to attend South African
universities.
The "conscience clause" is
the traditional provision in the
charter of South African uni-
versities against religious dis-
crimination in appointment of
faculty and admis si on of
students. It was originally in-
cluded in the Bantu University
Bill but was subsequently
dropped.
Elimination of the clause, the
government has stated, should
not concern Jewish and other
groups since the proposed uni-
versity would be restricted to
Bantu and there are no Jewish
Bantu.

anti-Jewish and anti-Israel ar-
