`Debbie in Dreamland'

Mrs. Dorothy K. Kripke Writes New Children's Book

The Afro-Asian Institute for Labor Studies, sponsored by
Histadrut, was opened in Tel Aviv by Pinhas Lavon, secretary-
general of Histadrut (center), as '70 students from nearly a
score of nations came to study Israel's cooperative economy
and social achievements. The Institute is to be a permanent
school at which representatives of under-developed nations
can be trained in theoretical and practical subjects applicable
to the problems being faced by the new states of Asia and
Africa. A $180,000 grant by the AFL-CIO will go toward
scholarships, while Histadrut itself is spending $350,000 to
build a dormitory and classrooms near its Workers College
in Tel Aviv.
