Committee Suggests
Streamlining of Jewish
Agency Department

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A spe-
cial, eight-man committee named
by the Jewish Agency executive
last March to investigate the
activities of the agency's settle-
ment department, recommended
Tuesday the abolition of some of
that division's sub-departments
and the consolidation of other sub-
departments with government
ministries engaged in the same
type of work.
The committee, headed by Yitz-
hak Ben-Aharon, also called for
personnel reductions, but gave no
figures on the number of employes
who may face discharge. However,
a spokesman for the agency said
that about 25 per cent of the de-
partment's 1,300-member staff are
"redundant."
The committee's principal rec-
ommendation for immediate ac-
tion proposed the formation of
two steering committees. One of
these groups would coordinate
the department's activities with
those of the government's min-
istry of agriculture, involving the
abolition of the agency depart-
ment's parallel work.
The other group would work to-
ward the economic consolidation
of the settlements in Israel with
agricultural projects. The commit-
tee recommended that about 400
settlements in Israel become com-
pletely independent of the Jewish
Agency within the next four years.
Among the sub-departments rec-
ommended for abolition are those
concerned with tractor stations,
water works and housing. "The
Agency settlement department,"
said Ben-Aharon in submitting the
committee's report, "still has im-
portant tasks to fulfill, especially
in development areas. But the de-
partment's organization must be
streamlined. and personnel must
be reduced."
At a luncheon tendered here
Tuesday to Aryeh L. Pincus, chair-
man of the Jewish- Agency execu-
tive, by the press attaches of Is-
raeli ministries, Pincus declared
that Agency staff curtailment
would be "only the first step in
the direction of reorganization."
He said the Agency felt the
need for reorganization and has
"started to examine how this can
be effected." He also reviewed the
Jewish Agency's cultural activities
abroad.

Ex-Security Chief
Resigns Advisory
Post in Israel

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM — Iser Harel, Is-
rael's_former top-secret chief of
security, who has been attached
to Prime Minister Levi Eshkol's
office since last fall as the official
adviser on security, tendered his
resignation here Wednesday.
Harel, whose name could never
be mentioned for many years
during which he headed Israel's
"Shin Beth/' the country's intelli-
gence and counter-intelligence ap-
paratus, was credited, among oth-
er achievements, with the opera-
tion which led to the capture, ulti-
mate trial, conviction and execu-
tion of Adolf Eichmann.
Three years ago when David
Ben-Gurion was still prime min-
ister, Harel fell out with the
premier over action against
West German scientists at work
in Egypt on sophisticated wea-
pons to have been used aggres-
sively against Israel.
As a result of that dispute, Harel
resigned, and the cloak of secrecy
previously wrapped around him
personally was lifted. Recently,
there have been disagreements
about his prerogatives in the posi-
tion in Eshkol's office. He had
threatened previously to resign.
Wednesday's resignation by Harel
was said to be final.

City Employes Strike

Despite Kollek's Efforts

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM—Despite last min-
ute efforts by Mayor Teddy Kol-
lek, Jerusalem's municipal em-
ployes went out on a "warning
strike" Wednesday.
The employes had threatened
earlier this week that they would
engage in a two-day walkout unless
their salaries were brought up to
the wage levels being paid to
municipal employes in Tel Aviv.
Kollek had tried to get the work-
ers to delay their action, but failed.
The high economic cost of
strikes and lock-outs in Israel
was spelled out Tuesday in a re-
port by the Social and Economic
Research Institute of the Hista-
drut, the Israel federation of
labor.
According to the report, a total
of 205,000 days of work were lost
in Israel in 1965, due to strikes
and lock-outs. These disputes were
reported as having involved 90,000
workers.
Meanwhile, Israel's Cabinet de-
ferred action on a request by
Minister of Labor Yigal Allon for
approving in principle new legisla-
tion that would guarantee work to
every able-bodied Israeli. Some of
the ministers in the Cabinet argued
that the principle is one that the
government supports but that it

would be folly to support such
legislation since such a law could
not be implemented unless public
works were established.

Pekarsky Memorial Fund
to Donate Hebrew Books
to Hillel Foundations

WASHINGTON—The Bnai Brith
Hillel Foundations announce the
establishment of the Maurice Pek-
arsky Memorial Book Fund to dis-
tribute books in the field of He-
brew and Yiddish Language and
Literature to libraries of the Hillel
Foundations throughout the world.
This fund was made possible by a
gift from benefactors who asked to
remain anonymous.
Rabbi Maurice Pekarsky, who
died in 1963, had been a Hillel di-
rector for 29 years, first at Cornell
University, then Northwestern, and
for the larger part of his profes-
sional life at the University of
Chicago.
In 1950 the Bnai Brith Hillel
Commission sent Rabbi Pekarsky
to Jerusalem to establish a Hillel
Foundation at Hebrew University.
He also served for many years as
national director of the department
of leadership training of the Bnai
Brith Hillel Foundations and was
a founder of the National Hillel
Summer Institute.
The Maurice Pekarsky Memorial
Book Fund is administered by the
national office of the Bnai Brith
Hillel Foundations in Washington.
