Dr. Kaplan Wants
Research Institute on
Contemporary Judaism
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Ad-
dressing the annual conference
of the Jewish Reconstruction-
ist Foundation, Dr. Mordecai
M. Kaplan, founder of the Re-
constructionist movement,
called for the establishment of
an Institute of Applied Re-
search for Contemporary Juda-
ism.
"It is not enough," he said,
"for Jews to possess the know-
how of Jewish existence. They
must know and be convinced
of the know-why. Those of us
who are committed to Recon-
struction should realize our
moral responsibility for launch-
ing the kind of Institute where
the various proposals for the
why and the how of Jewish ex-
istence would be carefully stud-
ied, and where their effective-
ness or lack of it would be ob-
jectively demonstrated."

Dr. John H. Davis, Commis-
sioner-General of the United
Nations Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refugees
in the Near East, the inter-
national agency charged with
the task of aiding the refugees,
told the Assembly in his annual
report: "The whole issue of
Palestine continues to compli-
cate seriously almost every
aspect of progress in the Middle
need for "rectification" has
been "a chronic problem" since
1950, he reported that 'in the
intervening years, some 457,000
names have been deleted from
the rolls." But, he added, "a
corresponding number of new
names" have been inserted in
their place. "The lists," he
stated, "still contain substantial
inaccuracies.
outside world."
Davis has resigned "for per-
sonal reasons," effective Dec.
31: No successor to his post has
yet been announced. UNRWA
operates currently under a two-
year mandate, set by the Assem-
bly last winter, to expire on
June 30, 1965.
It was noted that this year's
UNRWA report is far less polit-
ical in its nature than those sub-
mitted by Dr. Davis in the last
two years. Unlike last year, he
made no reference to the thesis
he propounded in 1962 to the
effect that the basic rehabili-
tative and resettlement efforts
of UNRWA should be dropped
in favor of more educational,
vocational and purely ameliora-
tive operations.
Davis reported that, as of
June 30, 1963, UNRWA was
providing relief and other serv-
ices to a total of 1,210,170
refugees living in the Gaza
Strip, J o r d a n, Lebanon and
Syria. His figures showed that,
as of June 1950, six months
after the agency started its
operations, there were 960,021
on the relief rolls. He noted
that, as of June of this year,
half of the refugees on the
relief rolls were "under the age
of 18."
The size of the UNRWA
Dec. 31, 1963, monetary pledges
by governments amounted to
$34,742,929. Of that total, $24,-
700,000 had been pledged by
the United States $5,400,000 by
Britain — and nothing at all
by any member of the Soviet
bloc. Since the agency began
operating in 1950, its total ex-
penditures have been $448,660,-
997 — the greatest bulk of that
sum, $315,968,069, coming from
the United States.
The report showed that, for
East, as well as the relationship
which this region has with the the 12 - month period ending
In addition to its relatively
milder political tone,. there was
no mention in this year's report
of earlier pleas for a "plebi-
scite" to give the refugees their
choice of "repatriation" or com-
pensation. The report and its
implications will be debated,
beginning next month, by the
Assembly's Special Political
Committee.
