the first stage of its deliberations
and announced the scope of the
program.
The committee comprising three
Israelis and three Americans, will
resume its deliberations in Wash-
ington next month and will pre-
sent its final conclusons by Oc-
tober after receiving the details of
costs of reactors and evaporators.
The program calls for the nuclear
desalination plant to become op-
erational by 1971 with the produc-
tion of between 80,000,000 and
165,000,000 gallons of desalinated
water daily. The plant will also be
capable of producing between 150
and 200 megawatts of electricity.
While the reactor will be of di-
mensions similar to reactors now
under construction in the United
States, its water production
through an evaporator, will be 100
times more that that of the usual
reactor. It was agreed by the joint
committee that, in view of the
large quantities of desalinated wa-
ter the plant will be able to pro-
duce, the water will also be used
to reduce the salinity of well wa-
ter.
The joint committee was ap-
pointed by the two governments
after an agreement on the project,
first proposed by President John-
son earlier this year, was signed
by Mr. Johnson and Israeli Prem-
ier Levi EshkOl during the latter's
visit to the United States in June.

Sociological Patterns in Boston's
North End Traced in Brandeis Book
"The Early Jewish Community
of Boston's East End" by Arnold
A. Wieder, published by Brandeis
University, reads like the story of
an American "shtetel."
The title page offers this expla-
nation: that the book is "a socio-
logically oriented study of an East-
ern European Jewish immigrant
community in an American big-
city neighborhood between 1870
and 1900."
The manner of approach, the
activities trace d, the episodes
enumerated, the descriptions of
experiences of early immigrants
among non-Jewish neighbor s,
could well be applied to many
other large cities. This, however,
is a peculiarly Bostonian story and
it serves a good purpose in the
gathering of historical material
about Jewish settlers in this coun-
try from Eastern Europe.
A research grant from the Ethel
Bresloff Fund made passible the
publication of this book, and Prof.
Jerome Himelhoeh, of Goddard
College, who guided the study,
wrote an interesting introduction
in which he pointed out:
"Wieder's major contribution
is to challenge the traditional
view of sociologists and his-
torians concerning the relation
between the foreign - born first
and the native-born second gen-
erations. In the traditional view,
the fathers cling tenaciously to
the Old World culture, while
the sons bitterly rebel against
their parents and their heritage.
Wieder's evidence points to a
different conclusion. He finds
that the rapid acculturation of
the second generation was of
the making of the fathers —
a direct result of the attitudinal
changes of the first generation.
The 'revolt' of the second gen-
eration was only an overt mani-
festation of the unacknowledged
wishes of the first. Behind their
external traditionalism the par-
ents often condoned and per-
haps subtly encouraged their
children's lapses from orthodoxy
. . . Inasmuch as many of the
parents felt that a synthesis of
Judaism and Americanism was
impossible, they decided on the
former for themselves and on
the latter for their children."
This might introduce a debate
over the validity of the assumption
that Judaism and Americanism
could not be synthesized — the
third generation having proven
that it can.
The study conducted in the old
Boston north end area — no longer
a Jewish neighborhood — will
serve further to examine the prob-
lem, to probe into the develop-
ments as they have affected the
generations, to arrive at conclu-
sions relative not to the conflicts
between generations but rather the
