`Warm Feelings' Sent
to Jewry by the Pope

JERUSALEM (JTA) —.Pope
John XXIII has sent his "warm
feelings for the Jewish people
everywhere" through a Cana-
dian rabbi whom he gave an
audience at the Vatican several
days ago. The rabbi, Dr. Abra-
ham Feinberg, of Toronto,
conveyed the Pope's message to
the people of Israel, upon his
arrival here from Rome.
Rabbi Feinberg said that,
from his visit to the Pope, he
gained the impression that Is-
rael today has a better oppor-
tunity than at any time since
the State was born to develop,
cordial relations with the Vati-
can. The Canadian rabbi told
newsmen here that the Pope
stressed his interest in promot-
ing good relations between
Catholics and Jews.

Poland Marks 100th
Zamenhof Anniversary

VIENNA (JTA)--The 100th
anniversary of the birth of Dr.
Eleazar L. Zamenhof, creator
of Esperanto, was marked offi-
cially in Warsaw by government
and city officials during the re-
cent international congress of
the Universal Esperanto Asso-
ciation, which was held in the
Polish capital.
A report received from War-
saw gave the details of the ob-
servance. A plaque commemo-
rating the birth of Dr. Zamen-
hof was unveiled in front of a
building at No. 5 Zamenhof
Street, in Warsaw, birthplace of
the creator of Esperanto. Dr.
Zamenhof was a Jew.
After the unveiling of the
plaque, scientists attending the
Esperanto Congress, as well as
government officials, held a
memorial honoring the late
Zamenhof at the side of his
grave in the Jewish cemetery at
Warsaw. The monument erected
in Warsaw to Dr. Zamenhof in
1928, eleven years after his
death, had been destroyed by
the Nazis.

transmission facilities from the
New York headquarters of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency to
the New York Post were
opened this week. The new
facilities will make the world-
wide news service of JTA im-
mediately available to the New
York afternoon newspaper, in-
cluding the JTA coverage of
Israeli news development.
The news circuit utilizes the
facsimile method of- transmis-
sion which the JTA, first among
American news agencies, used
on a regular basis for the de-
livery of news to newspapers.
JTA uses the facsimile system'
on another circuit for delivery
of its Yiddish service to the
New York Yiddish dailies and
high speed teleprinter for ser-
vice to leading English-Jewish
publications throughout t h e
country. Its new broadcasts to
Israel, Europe and South Africa
are by radio printer and, to
Argentina, Brazil and Peru, in
Morse code.
The Detroit Jewish News was
the first newspaper in the
country to start the teletype
service.

PHILADELPHIA, ( JTA ) —
World Jewish news is con-
sidered •first in importance by
readers of the Jewish Exponent
of Philadelphia, one of the
largest English-Jewish weeklies
in the country, according to a
readership survey conducted by
Research, Inc.
The survey team sampled a
cross-section of the Exponent's
subscription list, interviewing
every 35th name. News from
Israel closely followed world
Jewish news in importance to
the readers interviewed and
news of American Jewry came
third. Local Philadelphia news
followed importance to news
of local events.
The survey showed that near-
ly every member of the family
receiving the paper read some
part of it and that 57.7 per cent
of each family read half or
more of the paper. Nearly half
of the subscribers kept the
paper on hand each week until
the arrival of the next issue,
