. . American trade with Israel picked up last year following a slight
decline in the previous year; however, the U.S. share of the Israeli
market declined during the last months of 1964 . . . This was appar-
ently due to the fact that good local crops in Israel reduced the
volume of shipment of agricultural surplus commodities from the
United States . . . This drop in American share was in proportion
to the larger total of Israel's imports; in absolute terms, U.S. exports
to Israel rose, despite the loss in surplus feed grain sales against local
currency . . . In 1964, U.S. exports to Israel totaled $203,000,000, or
almost 10 percent above the $183,000,000 of 1963 . . . This year, it
is anticipated in Washington that sales of U.S. goods to Israel will
exceed $210,000,000 . . . Israel's total import was about $825,000,000

NEW YORK (JTA) — Jewish
community centers had aggregate
expenditures of $32,280,000 in
1964, according to the National
Jewish Welfare Board, the nation-
al association of J e wish Com-
munity Centers and YM-YWHAs.
The report stated that the com-
bined memberships of these cen-
ters was 714,000 last year.
The report stresses that the
JWB has, through its work with
the centers, assisted them "to be-
come more deeply engaged in find-
ing new ways of serving as more
dynamic instruments of the Jewish
community and in helping Jews of
diverse backgrounds and orienta-
tions to apply Jewish values to
daily living and to the problems of
modern society."
Mrs. Florence G. Heller is JWB
president and Sanford Solender is
executive vice president.
With respect to services for
Jewish .military personnel, their
dependents and hospitalized vet-
erans, JWB's program in 1964
was broadened to include Jew-
ish education for children and
adults, preparation for active
participation in Jewish life in
military communities and in-
volvement in as much normal
Jewish communal activity as pos-
sible, the report states.
