$100,000 beyond last year's total.
The funds available for local
operating purposes were deter-
mined by the formula adopted
at the pre-campaign budget con-
JERUSALEM — Israel's popula-
tion is expected to reach 3,000,000
by 1969. according to figures in
the annual report of the Ministry
of Labor released here Wednesday.
Part of the increase is expected
to be due to immigration although
the proportion is not given since
immigration estimates are not dis-
closed. Europeans are expected to
comprise two-thirds of the immi-
grants.

World ORT Approves Expansion
of Schools; Addressed by Dr. Haber
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
GENEVA — Plans for the de-
velopment and expansion of ORT's
worldwide network of vocational
schools were approved here Wed-
nesday by the more than 50 dele-
gates from 20 countries who attend-
ed the two-day semiannual meet-
ing of the World ORT Union.
ORT stands for the Organization
for Rehabilitation Through Train-
ing. Chairman of its central board
is Dr. William Haber of the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
Calling on members to increase
their efforts, Daniel Mayer, chair-
man of ORT's executive committee
and president of the League of
Rights of Man, said that there was
need to provide "the most ad-
vanced technical training for Jew-
ish youth in all the countries in
which we operate."
Noting that ORT had a "moral
obligation to put our 84 years ex-
.perience in vocational training at
the disposal of developing coun-
tries," Mayer cited reports of pro-
grams undertaken in cooperation
with the United States, Israeli and
Swiss governments and with the
International Labor Office.
Haber noted that ORT, with
its varied student bodies, was
particularly well suited to ex-
periment with new teaching
methods. "Two years ago we pio-
neered a program of instruction
in Europe and now the first
courses are being used in our
schools in France and Israel,"
he declared.
Evaluating ORT's worldwide pro-
grams, Max Braude, director, re-
ported to the delegates that the or-
ganization's network was taxed by
the growth in long-term training
for young persons in the three,
four and five-year schools and by
the continuing need to retain adults
in short-term courses.
"With the thousands of North
African repatriates in France and
the continuing movement of refu-
gees in many parts of the world,"
he declared, "we must increase our
fund-raising efforts by 20 per cent
this year to maintain our present
level and standard of services."
Local Jewish educational or-
ganzations received $493,202, in-
cluding the largest increase budg-
eted for any division, $24,323, over
their 1963 appropriation. Mandell
L. Berman was chairman, and Dr.
Norman Drachler, associate chair-
man, of the education division.
The community relations divi-
sion, headed by Samuel S. Green-
berg, chairman, and Stanley J.
Winkeltnan, associate chairman,
budgeted $101,239 for the Jewish
Community Council.
The four largest beneficiary
agencies in the health and wel-
fare division are the Jewish
Community Center, Sinai Hos-
pital, Jewish Vocational Service
and Jewish Home for Aged.
Other agencies in this division
are Community W o r k s h o p,
Fresh Air Society, Hebrew Free
Loan Association, Jewish Family
and Children's Service, Jewish
House of Shelter, Resettlement
Service and the Tamarack Hills
Authority,
Receiving the largest amount
in the education division is the
United Hebrew Schools, the com-
munal school system. Affiliated
with it are Midrasha, Beth Yehudah
Afternoon School, Abraham Reisen
School, Sholom Aleichem School,
and the Simon Dubnov School.
Also in this division is the Hayim
Greenberg School.
The amount budgeted will en-
able the United Hebrew School
system to accept 300 more pupils
beyond the 4,000 now enrolled,
begin classes in Southfield and
Pontiac, increase the instruction
given each student to six hours
weekly, and begin a remedial
program for slow learners and
an accelerated program for gifted
pupils.

Stressing the importance of cur-

Current figures justify hopes
that immigration into Israel this
year will exceed the total for
1963, it was reported by S. Z.
Shragai, head of the immigration
department of the Jewish Agen-
cy. This year's immigration, he
noted, will include a growing
number of middle-class families
from countries where Jews are
experiencing difficulties.
