Agreement on Reopening Banks OK'd by Israel, Jordan
Psychiatrist Says Death Camp Horror
Has Affected Children of Survivors
HAMILTON, Ont. (JTA) — The
suffering of concentration camp
victims at the bands of the Nazis
during World War II is having a
distressing effect on their children
who were born after the Holocaust,
a prominent psychiatrist said at a
lecture here.
Dr. Vivian Rakoff, a member of
the department of psychiatry at
Jewish General Hospital in Mont-
real, said that the children of con-
centration camp families were
often extremely depressed or po-
tential delinquents.
Plan 2,500 Units
for Arab Families
in East Jerusalem
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Plans to
erect 2,500 modern housing units
in East Jerusalem, all of them out-
side the old walled city, were an-
nounced here by Housing Minister
M. Ben Tov. He said that work on
the first 500 units will begin in
April.
The new quarters will be occu-
pied by Arab families who are to
be evacuated from the old Jewish
quarter inside the walled city, Ben
Toy said. These families took up
residence in the Jewish quarter
after the 1948 war when the Jor-
danian Arab Legion occupied the
old city, Ben Tov pointed out.
The new flats will constitute a
vast improvement In living con-
ditions for their occupants, he
said. The buildings will be of a
high standard with central heat-
ing and stone fronts. An addi-
tional 200-300 one- and two-family
dwellings will be started in East
Jerusalem next Spring.
Residents of East Jerusalem will
be issued Israeli identity cards and
special permits allowing them to
travel to Jordan on visits, accord-
ing to the ministry of interior. Up
to now, only West Bank residents
have been permitted to visit in
Jordan.
The military government re-
ported that it has issued 4,000
licenses for shops and other busi-
ness enterprises in the Samaria
and Judaea areas of the West Bank
since last June's Six-Day War. In
addition, 6,089 drivers' licenses
were issued, and 4,722 cars were
registered in the two regions.

JERUSALEM—Israeli-born Arab
students in social work and agri-
culture will receive the 12th
annual Judah L. Magnes Scholar-
ships at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, it was announced by
James Marshall, president of the
Magnes Foundation which created
the scholarships. The recipients are
Samir Miari and Ahmed Kassem.
Named for the first president of
the Hebrew University, the scholar-
ships are given each year to Arab
or Druze students for outstanding
achievement. Dr. Magnes, noted
American educator and rabbi, who
was president of the university
from its inception in 1925 until his
death in 1948, was a strong pro-
ponent of education as a basis for
understanding and amity between
Arabs and Jews in Israel.
Marshall, New York attorney,
served for many years as a vice-
president of the American Friends
of the Hebrew University. He is a
former president of the New York
City Board of Education.
Samir Miari was born in the vil-
lage of Barva in June 1946. He is
one of 13 children. He is now in
the third year of study at the Paul
Baerwald School of Social Work
at the Hebrew University.
Ahmed Kassem is from the vil-
in March. The arrangements re-
portedly included the return of
most of the assets of the branches
from Amman where they have
been held under Jordanian law.
Most of the impounded funds be-
long to East Jerusalem and West
Bank Arabs.
