Hebrew Corner
The Montefiore
Carriage
The carriage of Sir Moses Montefiore
will in a few weeks, reach its final
stopping place in the YeMill Moshe
Quarter of Jerusalem. Here, at the
entrance to the first Jewish Quarter
outside the walls of the Old City, which
bears the name Montefiore, "the
Minister of the Jews, the carriage
will be housed in a pavilion of glass.
The carriage of Montefiore has travel-
led over long roads since the year
1836, when it was built in accordance
with the design of Sir Moses himself.
It served the wealthy English Jew, one
of the friends of Queen Victoria, in
his travels through the countries of
Europe on Jewish affairs. On the doors
of the carriage the insignia of Moses
Montefiore was stamped — two lions
next to three flags, with the word
"JERUSALEM" (in Hebrew) engraved
across (the width of) the insignia.
The carriage reached this country
(Israel) fifty years after the death
of Montefiore.
Boris Schatz, one of the founders of
the Bezalel Art School, visited Vienna
after the firSt World War and heard
that the carriage was up for public
sale. Schatz interested the Reverend
.William Hechler, who was the Protes-
tant Minister of the British Embassy
in Vienna and a close friend of Herzl,
and with his financial help the car-
riage was acquired and transferred
to this country (Israel) in 1931.
At this time, the erection of a
monument has been begun in order
that the carriage of Moses Montefiore
may finally reach its last stopping
place, in Jersusalem.

Japanese Couple Studies Population
Explosion Problem With Israelis
By AVRAHAM PELLEG
REHOVOTH, Israel—Japan is a
country that has been trying to
keep its birthrate low, while Is-
rael is a country that is trying to
increase it. What, therefore, has
brought two young scientists in-
terested in the problems of popu-
lation control from Japan to Is-
rael?
The answer is quite clear to
the Japanese couple Chikashi and
Sumie Tachi, who are spending a
year at the Weizmann Institute of
Science in Rehovoth, where they
are working in its biodynamics
department headed by Prof. M. C.
Shelesnyak.
Fertility and infertility, they
explain, are two sides of the same
coin.
Both Chikashi, the husband, and
Sumie are the children of scien-
tists. Sumie's father works in an-
other sphere of science, being an
expert in metallurgy and industrial
chemistry at one of the largest
electro-chemical plants in Japan.
Chikashi's father, on the other
ha-A, is more or less in the same
field as the young couple. He is
the director of Japan's Institute
of Population Problems, and one
of those who planned the country's

program to reduce its birth rate.
rate.
"There are," Chikashi explains,
"many ways to intervene in the
process of natural birth. Here in
the biodynamics department, we
are concentrating on the critical
phase of this process, the stage
when the eggs nest."
Prof. Shelesnyak stated:
"Chikashi is working here on
the basic. problems pertaining to
the physiology of the womb during
the first days of pregnancy. Preg-
nancy begins with the fertilization
of the egg, which afterwards
begins to move towards the womb,
in order to settle there. We call
this process nidation (nesting),
and it is vital to the survival of
the embryo."
Prof. Shelesnyak has shown
how this process can be inter-
rupted by an alkaloid drug known
as ergocornine. It acts by tempo-
rarily upsetting female hormone
balance, thus preventing ovum im-
plantation, or the nesting of the
fertilized -egg in the lining of the
womb. The drug blocks production
of progesterone without which
nesting cannot be maintained.
In the course of his studies Prof.
Shelesnyak discovered means of
promoting the nesting process.
Thus his work provides tools both
to end pregnancy and combat in-
fertility.
Israel Cabinet Gets Budget Former Palestinian Arab,
Suggests Arab Kin
With Income Tax Hikes
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Minister Migrate to Other Lands
of Finance Pinhas Sapir Sunday
1966-67 budget to Israel's Cabinet,
presented the government's
after the figures had been studied
by the Ministerial Committee on
Economic Affairs.
The budget will contain increases
in income taxes of middle and
higher brackets which were re-
duced last year, it was reported.
The budget is expected to be pre-
sented to Parliament Feb. 14.
The increases will be in line
with recommendations of a gov-
ernmental committee headed by
Chaim Zadok, who was subse-
quently named minister of com-
merce and industry. The middle
brackets in Israel begin with wage-
earners with monthly incomes of
more than 600 pounds ($200).
Driving license fees and other
government service fees will also
be raised in the new budget, as
well as duties and excises on cig-
arettes, liquor, locally-made auto-
mobiles and other items.
The amount of the budget was
not officially revealed. But in-
formed quarters said that the
projected 1966-67 expenditures
were set at 4,600,000,000 Israeli
pounds ($1,533,333,333) as against
the current budget, which totals
4,000,000,000 pounds ($1,333,-
333,333).
In another development, the
Cabinet empowered the minister of
justice, Yaacov Shapiro, to pre-
pare amendments to Israel's new
libel law, an act passed last sum-
mer against which there have been
many protests on the grounds that
it jeopardizes freedom of the
press. The action was taken by
the Cabinet on the recommenda-
tion of , a committee headed by
Justice A. Vitkon.
TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Alias Ta
ma, a former Palestinian Arab,
now a United States citizen visit-
ing Israel, in a statement to the
press, declared that "there is no
hope for the Arabs to live out
their days in Israel as free and
full-fledged citizens" and that "the
possibility should be considered
for the Arabs to leave the Jewish
State to settle in other lands".
Alias Tuma, who is a college pro-
fessor in California, maintains that
the Israeli government should buy
up from the Arabs their properties
and enable them to leave the COM.
try under the supervision of an in.
ternational body. In his view there
is no hope that the Arabs will ever
feel happy living in Israel.

Tass Claims Anti-Semitism
Not Uncommon in U.S.

LONDON (JTA) — Tam, the
official Soviet Union news agency,
disseminated charges of anti-
Semitism in the United States, in
an obvious reaction to worldwide
protests against Soviet discrimina-
tions against RusSian Jewry, espe-
cially in the religious and cultural
spheres.
According to Tass, which cites
as its source another Soviet propa-
ganda organ, Soviet Russia, low
quotas for admission of Jewish
students are in effect at Harvard
University and at other American
institutions of higher learning;
some restaurants and .bars display
signs reading "Dogs; Negroes and
Jews not allowed;" and there are
in the United States 90 anti-
Semitic newspapers "with circula-
tion running into mii llions of
copies."
