Sharett Cites Immigration, Dollar Discrepancy
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Moshe
Sharett, chairman of the Jewish
Agency executive, said that,
while the rate of immigration
to Israel had tripled in the last
four years, the share of the
United Jewish Appeal in financ-
ing immigration to Israel has
remained stationary, with a
CLOTHO
tendency to a slight decrease.
Speaking at a press confer-
ence at the office of the Ameri-
can Section of the Jewish
Agency, here. he said that the
growing lag, added to the short-
ages of previous years, "has

ments unmet, expectations un-
fulfilled, the process of absorp-
tion retarded, chances of better
education and higher produc-
tivity unutilized, and the bur-
den of indebtedness of the Jew-
ish Agency steadily increasing."
The former Prime Minister
and Foreign Minister came to
the United States primarily at
the invitation of the UJA to
take part, on behalf of the
Agency executive, in the an-
nual UJA conference. He also
addressed local meetings in
New York, Boston and Detroit.
Sharett reported on his par-
ticipation in consultations
among American Zionist lead-
ers on the future of the Ameri-
can Zionist Council. He said
it was his understanding that
"the component parts of the
Zionist movement in this coun-
try are firmly resolved to re-
activate the Council as the cen-
tral Zionist body, uniting them
all for a common endeavor."
He said he found the leaders
of the Zionist organizations "in
substantial agreement" on the
Council's "future program of
action."
In reply to another question,
Sharett called efforts to link
the recent outbreaks by ultra-
Orthodox zealots in Jerusalem
and in New York with the
problems of religious life in
Israel "a distortion."
He described as "quite an-
other matter" the activities of
some 1,000 members of the
Neturei Karta, "the enemies of
the State of Israel," who do
not pay taxes and who dissemi-
nate "venomous propaganda
against the State of Israel,
feeding mendacious accounts
to the press of the world which
completely distort the facts."
He called the zealots "riff-raft,"
who push their followers to
"frenzies of fanaticism to per-
petrate any violence," and who
then spread "atrocity stories"
about "police brutality."

in the activities of the Peace
Corps when they return home.
He said that the activities of
the corps were being stepped
up in a number of European
countries.
Shriven was tendered a lunch-
eon by Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's
foreign minister. He conferred
also with Deputy Premier Abba
Eban and visited the Yad
Vashem and the Weizmann In-
stitute before departing for
Teheran.
