Immigration Chief Shlomo Z. Shragai 15-Year Sentence
Foresees Mounting American Aliyah for 300,000 Deaths

By JOSHUA H. JUSTMAN
(copyright. 1964, JTA, inc.)
JERUSALEM—About a quarter
of a million new immigrants have
settled in Israel over the past four
years.
Shlomo Z. Shragai, head of the
Jewish Agency's Immigration De-
partment, did not seem too im-
pressed by this figure: By no
means was he ready to minimize its
significance. Far from it. Think-
ing of the difficulties and the obst-
acles that had to be overcome—not
to speak of the past funds involved
in bringing the new immigrants
to the shores of Israel, in provid-
ing them with housing and in
caring for their absorption—he
felt it was a great achievement.
Indeed, an achievement the magni-
tude of which can hardly be con-
vened while much of the story
behind it remains untold. -
Shragai admits that the prob-
em of the sources of immigra-
tion is becoming more and more
acute. Over the past few years
whole Jewish communities in sev
eral countries have been transfer-
red to Israel and—provided condi-
tions do not change and that there

is no lack of funds—two more dia-
sporas -will be brought to Israel
in the next two or three years. But
what next? Where will immigra-
tion come from then?
What about the prospects of
immigration from the Soviet
Union?
Says Shragai: "Only God knows."
However, he is optimistic.
As to the central problem of

Israel's need for more manpow-
er — Shragai sees only one
source that can provide the
answer—the U.S.A.; the largest

human and economic resources.
In countries of Latin America
there is now a marked urge for
aliyah, but, for economic reasons,
not many have the necessary
means. Yet, he says, the number
of immigrants from Latin America
is four times as high as that from
the U.S.A. and Canada combined.
Shragai speaks in terms of
50- to 60,000 immigrants from
the U.S.A. per year, which
he considers feasible but which

would require a different and
more dynamic approach than

that followed hitherto.

,May Lift Ban on
Visits by Jews

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Jordanian government
is considering dropping the
ban on the granting of entry
visas to Jews, according to
reports in the Jordanian
press. The reported move
was said to be in response
to pressure by Jordan's
Ambassador in Washington,
who stressed that the ban
was doing more harm than
good, in view of the 'grow-
ing number of American
Jews, who, he said, desired
to visit Jordan. Other Arab
envoys in Washington were
reported to have made
similar recommendations to

Pro-Red Yiddish Daily Slams Anti-Semitic Book

NEW YORK, (JTA)—P. Movick,
editor of The Morning Freiheit,
the Yiddish-language, pro-Commu-
nist daily newspaper, criticized se-
verely the most recent Soviet anti-
Semitic book uncovered here, "Ju-
daism and Zionism," by F. S. May-
atsky, as a work even more anti-
Semitic than "Judaism Without
Embellishment"• The Mayatasky
book was issued by the State Pub-
lishing House in Kishinev, capital
of the Moldavian SRR.
The effect of the Mayatsky work,
said Novick, in an article, "can only
strengthen anti-Semitism" in the
