Israel Is Entering Period of Full Employment — Allon
JERUSALEM (JlA)—Delegates
to the midwinter conference of
Hadassah here heard an urgent
appeal for large-scale aliya (im-
migration) especially from West-
ern countries. Aryeh L. Pincus,
chairman of the Jewish Agency,
told the group representing the
world's largest single Zionish or-
ganization that Israel, for its part,
would introduce major reforms in
customs, taxation, housing and
employment to make the prospect
of aliya more attractive to Jews
in Western countries. Without
aliya, he warned, "bitter divi-
sions" w o u Id develop between
Israel and the Diaspora.
The conference also was ad-
dressed Monday by Labor Minister
Yigal Allon who outlined Israel's
economic goals and reported a sub-
stantial drop in unemployment. He
revealed that the number of job-
less has declined from 50,000 in
March 1967 to 20,000 in January.
"We are entering a period of full
employment," he said. "and this
means that there will be many
jobs available to enable 5,000 Is-
raelis now living abroad to return
home."
The labor minister said Israel's
economic targets were an im-
proved balance of trade, sell-re-
liance in the production of arma-
ments and an improved living
standard for all despite the heavy
burdens of national security.
Prime Minister Levi E s h k o 1
urged the ladies to do all in their
power to promote aliya.
He repeated that he thought the
Jordan River is the natural
frontier of Israel in the East.
Eshkol has called the Jordan
River a natural frontier on pre-
vious occasions, though he never
stated specifically whether this
meant a political frontier as well.
He said this time that the river
should be an "open border" be-
tween the west and east banks.

Art Shows Horror
of Terezin Camp
NEW YORK (JTA)—The misery
of Terezin concentration camp in
Czechoslovakia — Nazi propagan-
dists called it a "Jewish resort"—
has been brought vividly to life
here by an exhibition of 95 draw-
ings and paintings executed clan-
destinely by the inmates between
1941 and 1945.
Fifty-one of the works on dis-
play at the New School Art Center
are by children and 44 are by
adult prisoners.
The exhibit is on loan from the
Jewish State Museum in Prague.
Terezin was set up by the Nazis
as a so-called "model camp." In
fact it was a way-station to the gas
chambers of Auschwitz for 88,000
Jews and a grave for 33,000 more.
Of 15,000 Jewish children incar-
cerated there, only 100 survived.
It was to provide a visual
record for the future to give lie
to Nazi propaganda, that the
camp inmates gave each other
art lessons, painted and drew
behind closed doors at night.
They hid their work In the walls
during the day. They faced tor-
ture and probable death if they
were caught.
After the camp was liberated
In 1945, the one surviving art
teacher gave the drawings to the
Jewish State Museum.
The adults' art depicts the grim
scenes of arrival at the camp,
registration and food lines. Most
of the scenes done by the children
show youngsters at play, families
seated around a Passover table or
patients tended by a smiling nurse.
The display was brought to the
New School Art Center through the
offices of the late Morris Fox,
member of the American Jewish
Congress Commission on Jewish
Affairs, who saw them in Prague.
