Rabbi Miller Says Zionist
Future Depends Upon
Territorial Movement -
NEW YORK (JTA) — Rabbi Is-
rael Miller, chairman of the Amer-
ican Zionist Council, told a special
meeting of the council that "the
future hopes of our movement" lay
in the establishment of a single ter-
ritorial Zionist movement "so that
it becomes an effective instrumen-
tality in order for us to implement
our tasks and meet the new Zionist
challenges." The meeting was held
to consider decisions taken by the
recently concluded World Zionist
Congress in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Miller told representatives
of the Council's nine constituent
national Zionist organizations that
the Congress offered American
Zionists "an unprecedented and
much needed opportunity to re-
structure itself into a uniled move-
ment." He asserted that "since the
American Zionist organizations
overwhelmingly supported the pro-
posals, I am hopeful that they are
now prepared to move ahead in
the spirit of the decisions made
at the Zionist Congress."
Israel Assured
'Higher Standards
in School Plans
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The cab-
.
met
approved and forwarded to
the Knesset a plan to reform the
Israel school system, basing it on
three educational stages of six,
four and three years instead of
the present eight and four year
steps. One of the recommenda-
tions adopted by a divided- cabinet
calls for raising compulsory and
free schooling to nine years instead
of the present eight while an alter-
native draft proposed to raise it
to 10 years.
Elementary school teachers re-
cently held a one-day strike in
protest against the expected im-;
I minent approval of the plan which
was worked out by a parliamen-
tary committee. Proposals of Prof. •
Yehoshua Prayer, chairman of the
advisory council on education to
the minister of education and
ture, formed the basis of the pro-
posed' reforms.
World Executive Urges
Jewish Education Rise
GENEVA, (JTA)—Some 50 dele- •
gates from Israel, the United States
and Europe to the World Executive
of Agudas Israel, meeting at Lo-
carno, called for the strengthening
of traditional Jewish education
and the establishment of a new
Agudas educational central office
to coordinate and intensify the'.
spread of Tora education.
The participants included Rabbi
L. M. Levin of Israel, chairman of
the Aguda world movement, and
Dr. I. I. Lewin of New York, chair-
man of the Aguda in the United
States.
Special functions were assigned
to U.S. and European executives
although the headquarters of the
movement will remain in Jerusa-1
lem. Great concern was expressed
about the situation of Jews in Arab
countries. It was decided to con-
vene a meeting of the full World
Council of Agudas Israel in De-
cember in Jerusalem.

licenses issued to Poland, includ-
ing strategic goods like computers

dustry." He said that Poland has
"not only defied the conscience of
civilized humanity in its barbarous
revival 0 e anti-Semitism, but Polish
weapons are being shipped to the
Arab states as well as to North
Vietnam." He said "we can drama-
tize our disgust with the Warsaw
Communist regime by terminating
the export licenses.-the administra,-
tion has seen fit to issue."
