New JTA Circuit
.to Speed News
NEW YORK, (JT2-1) — The
Jewish T e 1 e g r aphic Agency
opened a new facsimile circuit
between its United Nations of-
fice and its New York head-
quarters to speed transmission
of news copy from the United
Nations to JTA client newspa-
pers throughout the world.
The facsimile circuit will feed
the news to the JTA editorial
department for use locally and
for radioprinter relay to other
parts of the world with such
speed that it will be possible,
during the critical afternoon op-
erating hours, to have a JTA
story in Tel Aviv within five
minutes of its completion by
the correspondent.
Two representatives of the
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
tion of Israel, Pinhas Leibo-
vitz, its secretary-general; and
Yehiel Eliash, director-general
of the Israel daily newspaper,
Hatzofe, visited the JTA head-
quarters to witness the start of
the new service. Both are in the
United States as delegates to
the 13th annual congress of the
International Federation of
Newspaper Publishers.

the two visiting publishers that
he plans to be in Israel next

of interest to Jewry. He is a
former national president of
Avukah, Student Zionist Organ-
ization.
Lipsky's novels, drawn in
large part from his legal back-
ground, have been made into
successful motion pictures. His
last novel, "The Scientists," was
a selection of the Book of the
Month Club. His novels have
been translated into nine lan-
guages, including Hebrew. They
contain strong elements of Zion-
ist and Jewish influence and
he is planning a novel dealing
with basic Jewish issues.
Lipsky's interest in Jewish
affairs stems from a staunchly
Zionist family background. A
visitor to Israel, he serves cur-
rently as vice-president of the
American Jewish League for
Israel. He was a member of
the National Executive Com-
mittee of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America. Other organ-
izations in which he is active
include the American Jewish
Congress and the American
Friends of the Hebrew Univer-
sity.
Lipsky practites law in New
York. His wife, Hannah, is a
social worker. The couple has
three sons.

Agency, an American non-profit
corporation, is the first and

tion specializing in coverage of

Appointment of Charles R.

home owners at a nominal
charge, for those wishing to
sell their own homes. The kit
contains necessary signs and
materials to conduct a home
sales campaign.

home division has an extensive
background in real estate and
mortgage placement, having
served as a sales agent and
specialist in vacant and used
properties and in the real estate
insurance field. Koller also has
a diversified background in new

Michigan's major highways...
CONCRETE is safer. .more dependable... more economical!
On
Concrete pavements are first choke for Michigan's major
highways. When roads must carry heavy traffic with
safety and dependability, concrete is picked.
Modern concrete is engineered to carry the heaviest
traffic—and with extra safety, too, thanks to concrete's
skid-resistant surface and highly visible light color. Con-
crete's low construction cost is added good news. It's
often less than "cheaper" substitutes . . . yet you get
double the durability.
Longer life plus lower upkeep costs are more reasons
why engineers select concrete pavements for Michigan's
key trunklines.
