Italo-German Pact Would Benefit 7,000 Jewish War Victims—
Cuban Crisis May Be Key to Peace
in Mid-East, Canadian Zionists Told
TORONTO, (JTA)—Lester B.
17: 4' Pearson, the head of Canada's
Liberal party and leader of the
opposition in the House of Com-
E mons, expressed the hope here
that the settlement of the Cuban
between the United States
z 0 crisis
and the Soviet Union could lead
to a resolution of Middle East
difficulties. Addressing the 36th
national convention of the Zion-
. ist Organization of Canada, he
declared:
• "Surely the time has come
when among the settlements that
z rx.1 I hope will emerge from the
resolution of the present Cuban
crisis will be an understanding
rr
that neither the Soviets nor the
West have anything to gain by
oft
underwriting an arms race in
E.,
the Israeli-Arab setting; a race
13.4
that can only explode into
regional hostilities, which could
so easily deteriorate into some-
A thing worse."

Pearson also said that four
major problems are facing
Israel today. These are, he
said: "1. The relations of
Israel to the Arab world about
it; 2. Israel and the great
powers; 3. The economic
future of the State; 4. -Israel
and the emerging world of
Africa."
Also present as a guest of the
diamond jubilee convention was
Michael S. Comay, Israel's Am-
bassador to the United Nations
and former envoy to Canada. He
declared, at a dinner session
honoring the outgoing ZOC
president, Lawrence Freiman,
that "the Cuban crisis and the
invasion of India have brought
to every country, large and small,
a sharper awareness of its secur-
ity chances and a firmer align-
ment with its friends."
Comay added that: "There is
today more understanding of the
Israelis' need to be able to pro-
tect themselves effectively, for
there are more Soviet weapons in
Egypt than ever reached Cuba,
plus rockets being built by Ger-
man scientists." He stated that
Israel's "sense of confidence is

ROME—The Foreign Affairs
Commission of the Italian par-
liament began discussion Tues-
day on ratification of a law on
the Italo-German agreement of
June, 1961, to provide for the
payment of $10,000,000 to in-
demnify Italian victims of the
Nazi persecution.
The number of Jewish bene-
ficiaries has been estimated at
nearly '7,000, or about a third
of all Italians who would be
eligible for such indemnifica-
tion.
The ratification law contains
a .provision which would em-
power the Italian government
to enact within six months a
special law to stipulate that all
fortified by its special ties with
the Jews in Canada, and under-
standing in the free world."
The sessions also featured
presentations to Michael Gar-
ber, immediate past president
of the ZOC and president of
the Canadian Jewish Congress,
and Senator David A. Croll,
honorary vice-president of the
ZOC, as well as an address by
Dean Ivan C. R a n d, of the
Canadian Supreme Court. In
• his presidential report, Frei-
man said:
"I believe that Zionism is the
conscience of the Jewish people,
and without this conscience we
would become a fund-raising
group devoid of inspiration,
knowledge, understanding and
sympathy for our vital cause.
This the Zionist Organization is
dedicated to continue." -
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Hebrew University opened its
academic year here with an • en-
rollment of some 8,000 students,
including 2,800 entering fresh-
men.
About 450 students from
abroad, including 60 from
African and Asian nations, as
well as 100 Israeli Arabs, are

nounced that, in view of a
record budget deficit of 14,000-
000 pounds ($4,667,000) at the
end of the 1961-62 period, it
was decided to freeze the
budget for the coming year at
last year's figure of 18,000,000
pounds ($6,000,000).
In Haifa, meanwhile, the
Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology opened its academic

ment of 558 young men and

National Young Zionists, youth
section of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America, increased by
25 per cent since 1960, accord-
ing to a report presented by
the group's outgoing president,
Gideon Patt.
Speaking at the sixth annual
convention of the National
Young Zionists here, Patt said
the increase was coupled with
the formation of 11 new Young
Zionist Districts in New York,
Baltimore, Washington, Pitts-
burgh and Chicago.
Dr. Max Nussbaum, president
of the ZOA, told the delegates
that summer-study-work tours
to Israel, which their group has
sponsored, was "an important
educational contribution towards
bringing many of our youth in
direct contact with Israel." Dr.
Emanuel Neumann, honorary
president of the ZOA, and mem-
ber of the Jewish Agency execu-
tive, also addressed the con-
vention.
shorten procedures leading to
payments, it was estimated that
