Israel Bond Sales Expected to. Treble in 1964 in Europe Year's ORT Program

GENEVA (JTA) — Sales of
Israel Bonds in Europe of $2,500,-
000 in 962 were doubled to $5,000,-
000 in. 1963 and are expected to
be trebled to $7,500,000 this year,
Moshe Galli, director of Israel
Bonds in Europe, told the closing
session here of a two-day meeting
of the European Committee for the
Development of . Israel.
He attributed the gains to the
fine voluntary work" of the two-
year-old European Committee,
comprised of Christian and Jewish
leaders of France, Britain. Bel-
gium, Holland, Switzerland, West
Germany, Austria and Italy. t He
noted that the committee and its
various branches included -"not
only financiers and businessmen,
but also writer s, philosophers,
cabinet ministers and churchmen."
At a press conference. Dr.
Joseph J. Schwartz, executive
vice president of the Israel Bond
Organization, reported that total
sales of Israel bonds throughout
the world were $720,000,000.
Israel Bond sales so far this
year are more than 45 per cent
ahead of those in the same period
of 1963, Dr. Schwartz said.
He reported also that sales in
Europe so far this year were 129
per cent ahead of the correspond-
ing period in 1963. He said this
result is particularly encourag-
ing. because 1963 was the most
successful year generally in the
history of Israel bond sales. with
a record total of 275.000,000. He
said the 1964 goal of $85,000,000

in sales would certainly be reach-
ed—and possibly surpassed.
He said that 531 banks in the
United States had purchased a
total of $11,729,000 in Israel bonds,
and that 539 trade unions had pur-
chased $11,765,000 worth, while
pension and welfare funds had ac-
quired $2,300,650 in bonds.
Baron Edmond de Rothschild,
president of the Israel Bond drive .
in Europe, told the conference
that there should' be an intensi-
fied appeal to indiiridual subscrib
ers, as well as to banks, insurance
firms and similar institutions in
Western Europe. Participating
countries in the conference are
France, Britain, Belgium, Holland.
Denmark,. West Germany and
Austria.
Dr. Hans Opiecht, Swiss Social
Democratic leader, reported on
bond sales in Switzerland. Dr.
Erich Walter Lotz described sales
in West Germany, and also men-
tioned the German's debt to Israel,
Prof. Abraham May, a noted eco-
nomist, spoke on bond sales in
Holland.
While Israel Bond sales were
the key topic of the conference.
the participants also discussed
other means by which European
Jewry could help Israel develop-
ment. Baron Rothschild outlined
a proposal under which European
financiers and business leaders
would establish factories in Israel
turning out products specifically
suited to 'the European import
market. He suggested that the
European investors, in addition to

financing such. plants, could also
send experts to Israel to teach ap-
propriate skills to Israeli workers.
Another proposal was that sale
of Israel bonds to individuals in
Europe, Jewish or non-Jewish,
should be accompanied by special
facilities for tours for such pur-
chasers in Israel. A. Maurer, a
Zurich economist and a member
of a distinguished Protestant fam-
ily, said "a visitor to Israel be-
comes a friend of Israel for life."
Two hundred persons promin-
ent in Geneva public life attended
a reception tendered by Baron and
Baroness de Rothschild.

Announced in Poland

LONDON (JTA) — The 0112
program in Poland for the new
school year includes not only skills
training for young Jews but also
classes for older persons who can-
not use their existing crafts,
was reported here from Warsaw.
David Slobodkin, ORT director
in Poland, also said that young
students are being given a general
education qualifying them for high-
er education. He added that the
ORT schools were taking in Jew-
ish children unable to find 'places
in Government trade schools either
because they live in areas which
have no such schools or because
there are more applicants than
school openings.
Given an opportunity in the ORT
schools, he reported, these chil-
dren usually do well and get quali-
fication certificates which are en-
dorsed by state education authori-
ties. Electronics and radio skills
are popular among the ORT stu-
dents.
It 'was also reported today from
Warsaw that 152 men and women
were graduated at the Warsaw
ORT Center. Only three of the
students failed to complete the
course. Eleven trades were taught
during the last term. Trainees
ranged from teenagers to old age
