Detroit Zionists to Implement United States,
world Decisions, Sponsor 'Peace Corps' Aliyah

The Zionist Organization of.
Detroit this week announced the
unanimous decision of its executive
committee to proceed with plans to
implement t h e program of the
Zionist Congress to encourage
aliyah to Israel.
Judge Ira Kaufman, president of
ZOD, announcing the appointment
of Dr. Simon Dolin as chairman of
a special aliyah committee, said
the movement will assist those de-
siring to settle in Israel, and will
make contacts for young people
who wish to go to Israel for a year
or longer to assist Israel's technical
and cultural advancement.
A major task, according to Dr.
Dolin and Judge Kaufman, will

be to spur activities in behalf
of the new Sherut La-Am-Israel-
Peace Corps program, which
has been introduced by the Jew-
ish Agency of Israel.

Louis Levitan, who is actively as-
sisting Dr. Dolin in the sponsorship
of the new program, stated that
those desiring to join the Peace
Corps will be able to start sessions
either in June, September or Janu-
ary. Levitan made public the fol-
lowing details regarding the Shertit
La-Am plan:

Hungarian Rabbi Cites
`Complete - Religious
Freedom' in Homeland

NEW YORK (JTA) — There
are 70,000 Jews living now in Hun-
gary, most of them in Budapest,
and all the Jews in the country
"enjoy complete religious free-
dom," Rabbi Jeno Sehuck, chief
Orthodox rabbi of Hungary, de-
clared here.
Rabbi Schuck came here to act
as • a visiting lecturer on Jewish
religious law and the history of
Hungarian Jewry, at the Isaac El-
chanan Theological Seminary of
Yeshiva University. He had been
invited by Dr. Samuel Belkin,
president of Yeshiva.
In reply to questions about the
situation of the Jews in his coun-
try, Rabbi Schuck said no restric-
tions are imposed upon Hungarian
Jews by their government. He said
the government allows the Jews
to build synagogues, expand exist-
ing yeshivas, conduct ritual slaugh-
ter and, in general, -to follow faith-
fully all precepts of the Jewish re-
ligion:
He added that Hungary permits
Jews to emigrate to Israel under
a policy favoring reunification of
families.

cans are accustomed, the Jewish
Agency has taken a number of steps
to meet the special demands of
American olim (settlers).
"The Jewish Agency, in coopera-
tion with the Israeli • government,
has undertaken a 'comprehensive
housing program especially suited
for American olim. Such housing
projects have been and are being
built in 21 areas of the country.
These modern apartments may be
obtained by the ,American olim on
virtually a rental basis. The Ameri-
can oleh ,may, if he prefers, pur-
chase an apartment or a house from
private builders; if the price of
such a house or apartment is not
above 50,000 Israeli pounds, the
Jewish Agency will provide him
with a substantial mortgage at a
very reasonable rate of interest.
"There are a number of special
American housing developments,
such as K i r y at Yismach Moshe
(between Tel Aviv and Bnai Brak)
Kiryat Bobov and its Pension Segu-
la in Bat Yam, Tel Aviv; Kiryat
Mattesdorf in Jersalem and Kiryat
Sanz near Natanya.

following additional faCts regarding
settlement and settlers in Israel:

LONDON (JTA) — Predictions
that the Labor government's anti-
discrimination bill would become
law this year were coupled with
announced plans of members of
Parliament to seek amendments to
strengthen the measure.
The bill, designed primarily to
ban discrimination against Negroes
in public places, would also pro-
hibit discrimination or incitement
against Jews. The measure re-
ceived a first reading in the House
of Commons last week.
Meanwhile, a number of
British Jewish leaders voiced
concern over the possible effects
of the new government bill, fear-
ing that it may do more harm
than good.
Sir Bernard Waley-Cohen, for-
mer lord mayor of London, said
that the new legislation may dam-
age the good relations between
Jews and others "by projecting a
sense that Jews are different from
others." His views was shared by
Robert Carvalno, former president

of the Anglo-Jewish Association,
who doubted that Jews need such
protection, and said he did not
think- "this bill will be of any use
in any case."
Taking issue with those object-
ing to the bill, Dr. S. Levenberg,
British Zionist leader, said that,
although there seemed to be loop-
holes in the bill, "we are pleased
that the government of Harold
Wilson has kept its pledge; we
wanted such a bill for a long time."

The measure would make it
an offense to refuse service in
hotels and restaurants but not
in lodging houses or clubs. Bars,

theaters, dance halls, stadiums,

swimming pools and "other
places of public entertainment"
would be covered.
Because the clause banning
racial incitement involved issues of
free speech, the bill does not men-
tion religion specifically. Passage
would not alter the current free-
dom to attack a religion or its
doctrine.
