NEW YORK (JTA)—"The need from the agency's network of serv-

for the migration services provid- ices."
ed by United Hias Service has ac-
"These," he said, "included world

celerated in the last year," Murray
Gurfein, president of United
Hias Service, declared here Sun-
day.
He made that statement at the
United Hias' 82nd annual meet-
ing, attended by 1,200 delegates
from all over the country. High-
lights of the meeting were mes-
sages from President Johnson and
other leading figures, and the
presentation of awards to Sen. Ed-
ward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts
Democrat, and to the Council of
Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds.
In speaking of the expanded
need for aid to United Hias Serv-
ice, Gurfein noted that the migra-
tion agency helped the resettle-
ment, in the last year, of 12,050
Jewish migrants in the United
States, Canada, Brazil, Australia
and other free countries.
"In addition to those who were
helped to migrate," said the Unit-
ed Hias president, "more than
50,000 other Jewish men, women
and children benefited last year

N.Y. Bill Requires
Charity Accounting

ALBANY, N.Y. (JTA)—The New

York State Assembly approved

Unanimously y e s t e r d aly a bill
which would require every charit-
able organization in the state to
account in its fund-raising litera-
ture for how its funds were used.
The measure was sponsored by
William Passannante, a Manhattan
Democrat. Similar proposals have
been introduced in previous legis-
lative sessions but have been
blocked by the concerted opposi-
tion of charitable organizations.
The assembly approved a similar
measure last year but it died in the
State Senate. Prospects for Senate
passage this years are regarded as
improved.
The bill would require that fund-
raising material indicate how much
money was raised by the group in
the prior year and how much was
actually spent for the purpose for
which it was sought. Present New
York state law contains few provi-
sions to penalize charities which
spend most of their money on vari-
ous administrative costs, including
salaries. Small charities and re-
ligious and educational charitable
groups do not have to register and
file reports with the New York
State Department of Social Wel-
fare.
Mr. Passannante has sponsored
another bill, jointly with State
Senator William E. Adams, which

would require the Social Welfare
Department to make public the
name and financial data of every
charity which spends less than 50
per cent of the money it raises on
charitable purposes. Sen. Adams is
Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Social Services which is expect-
ed to take up the Assembly-ap-

proved Passannante bill soon.

PARIS (JTA) — Relations be-
tween Jews and Arabs and the

situation of the Jewish community
in the Soviet Union will be dis-
cussed at the next World Jewish
Congress session, to be convened
in Brussels in July, it was an-

nounced by Dr. Gerhardt Riegner,

Dr. Riegner announced also the
composition of several major com-
mittees of the European Division
of the WJC. Vidal Modiano, of
France, was elected to the govern-
ing council, and one seat on that
body was reserved for a British
representative. Added to the com-
mission on international affairs,
headed by Dr. S. Levenberg, of
London, were David Lambert, of
France; Dr. Ladislav Kadelburg,
of Yugoslavia; and Hendrick van
Dam, of West Germany.

JERUSALEM—In a further gov-

wide location of missing relatives,
assistance to migrants in connec-
tion with their legal status, and
resettlement assistance in the Unit-
ed States as well as in Latin Am-
erica."
James P. Rice, United Hias
executive director, reported that
2,100 Jewish migrants and refu-
gees, including 260 Cubans, were
helped to establish new homes
last year in 60 communities in
25 states, Puerto Rico and the

District of Columbia.
In his message, President John-

son noted that "82 years of con-
spicuous public accomplishment
have earned for the United Hias
Service its enviable reputation."
Other notables who sent messages
to the meeting included Gov. Roc-
kefeller of New York State; Sen-
ators Robert F. Kennedy and Ja-
cob K. Davits; and New York City
Mayor Lindsay.
The Council of Jewish Federa-
tions and Welfare Funds was pres-
ented the award for aid given by
the Jewish communities in the
United States in "securing the
dream of freedom and security of
more than 365,000 Jewish men,
women and children who were re-
settled in the United States since
1933." The award to Sen. Ken-
nedy of Massachusetts was given
in recognition of his "devoted ef-
forts in behalf of the liberal im-
migration law."

CHAPLAIN GREENSPAN

NEW YORK—Chaplain (Capt.)
Alan M. Greenspan, Jewish chap-
lain on duty at the Infantry Train-
ing Center, Fort Benning, Ga., has
been assigned to the U.S. Military
Advisory Command in Vietnam,
with headquarters in Saigon, where
he is due next week, according to
word received by the National
Jewish Welfare Board commission
on Jewish chaplaincy. Chaplain
Greenspan will replace Chaplain
(Maj.) Richard E. Dryer, the sen-
ior Jewish chaplain in Vietnam,
who is being transferred to Ger-
many.

A native of Bridgeport, Conn.,
Chaplain Greenspan is a career

chaplain whose first assignment
was at Fort Knox, Ky., in 1962,
soon after he was commissioned
a First Lieutenant. In 1963 he
was promoted to Captain and re-
assigned to Fort Benning, Ga. This
was followed by a tour of duty in
Korea in 1964 where he won the
Army Commendation Medal. While
in Korea he went on a special
temporary mission to Vietnam to
serve Jewish military personnel
there in February, 1964.
Chaplain Greenspan graduated
from Yeshiva College in 1958 and
was ordained a rabbi by the Isaac
Elchanan Rabbinical Seminary of
Yeshiva University in 1961. While
a college student he represented
Yeshiva University at the first
World Jewish Youth Conference in
Israel in 1958.
In addition to Chaplain Green-
span, two other Jewish chaplains

ernment effort to reverse the
trend toward inflation in this coun-
try, Minister of Commerce and In-
dustry Haim Zadok called on Is-
raeli industry to freeze prices. The
Israeli Manufacturers Association
promptly reacted to the call with
alarm, summoning a special coun-
trywide assembly of its members
to consider the ministry's plan to
freeze prices. The government had
earlier called for a freeze on wages
and salaries and on the prices of
agricultural products.
Another effort to improve the
economy was launched by Zadok
at a ceremony at Hebrew Univer-
sity, where he presented certifi-
cates of merit to 300 Israeli ex-
porters who have exceeded sales
abroad by at least $100,000 each
last year. This step was aimed at
encouraging greater exports
abroad, thus increasing Israel's
foreign currency and reducing the
gap between imports and exports.

T h e defense ministry an-
nounced that it had made an
agreement with France granting
to Israel the exclusive rights for
the production of certain tools,
instruments and parts for lead-
ing French industries. The re-
sult of this pact, it was said, will
be that the French industrialists

will pay 25 per cent of the cost
of the increasing procurement
from France.
Until now, a smaller percentage

of the cost of those procurements
from France has come back to Is-
rael in the form of payments for
the servicing of French aircraft
and engines at an Israeli mainten-
ance plant.

Histadrut, Israel's federation of
labor, took a step to increase effi-
ciency in its own offices as part
of the general drive to fight the
inflationary trend. This move on a
relatively minor nature took the
form of an order to all Histadrut
officials to do away with the trad-
itional practice of drinking tea
during office hours so as to leave
more time for necessary office
work. The office "tea break," both
summer and winter, is an old cus-
tom among all Israeli bureaucrats.
