Israel Will Conduct
Mental Health Survey
One of the most intensive
countrywide mental health sur-
veys ever conducted, including, for
the first time anywhere, a national
census of the mentally ill, will get
under way in Israel on July 1.
The survey, which will also in-
clude treatment and aftercare of
mental patients, is being sponsored
by the World Health Organization,
with the cooperation of the Israel
Ministry of Health and the Psy-
chiatric Trust Fund.
The Psychiatric Trust Fund
was established in 1957 by the
Ministry of Health and Malben,
the welfare program on behalf
of aged, ill and handicapped
newcomers to Israel, maintained
by the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee with funds from the
United Jewish Appeal.
Since its inception the Psychia-
tric Trust Fund has created facili-
ties for 445 patients in general
and mental hospitals, 455 in re-
habilitation centers and work vl-
lages, and another 80 in three
hostels. It has also begun construc-
tion of a 200-bed mental hospital
near Haifa.

of Cleveland, a past commander

Undersecretary of Commerce
Franklin D. Roosevelt said that the
"promotion of trade between Israel
and the United States will con-
tinue to strengthen our bonds of
understanding, friendship and the
common purposes of the two
nations."
Roosevelt announced that he will
go to Israel later this month to
represent the U.S. Government at
the opening of the International
Trade Fair in Tel Aviv and that
he will dedicate the U.S. pavilion
there.
He hailed the fact that more than
75 American companies will dis-
play at the U.S. pavilion and cited
this as an indication of the Ameri-
can interest in the promotion of
Israeli trade relations.
The delegates adopted a resolu-
tion calling on the U.S. Govern-
ment to use its good offices to
bring about an end to the activi-
ties of German experts working on
the development of atomic weapons
for Egypt.
In another resolution, the dele-
gates voted unanimous opposition
to the proposed Becker amendment
to the Constitution or any similar
proposal which would allow Bible
reading and prayer in public
schools. The resolution charged
that such an amendment would
violate the principle of separation
of church and state "and might
prove to be an opening wedge to
tampering with the Bill of Rights."
