THE DETROIT
`Immigration Unaffected by T erroris t - s,
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
LONDON—The new director gen-
eral of the Jewish Agency's immi-
grant absorption department said
at a press conference here Tues-
day that the security situation in
Israel was not affecting the flow of
immigration. He predicted an in-
flux of from 361)00 to 40;000 new-
comers in 1969 compared to just
over 30,000 in 1968.
Gen. Uzi Narkiss, who command-
ed the paratroop brigade that cap-
tured East Jerusalem from Jordan
in the Six-Day War, said that Arab
terrorists have not succeeded in dis-
rupting life in Israel which, he
declared was "normal." He added
that Israeli security forces are
stronger than ever.
Gen. Naikiss said the process-
ing of immigration had become
more efficient recently due to
establishment of Telex communi-
cations between the Jewish
Agency in Jerusalem and aliya
centers abroad. He said about
1,500 immigrants were expected
from Britain this year, about
7,000 from North Africa alone.
He added that "Immigrants are
now reaching Israel from sources
that could not have been antici-
pated only a few months ago." He
did not specify what those sources
were, but observed that immigra-
tion was second in importance only
to national defense. Gen. Narkiss
said his new post was more diffi-
cult and more demanding than
anything he had known in the
military or diplomatic fields.
During his week's visit to Bri-
tain, he will meet with Chief Rabbi
Immanuel Jakobitz and other
leaders of British Jewry. He will
address a public rally for immiga-
tion here on March 2.
The Jewish Agency Executive
devoted a.full session Tuesday to
the problems of Jewish educa-
tion, and heard a pessimistic re-
port on its status abroad.
According to Haim Finkelstein,
head of the agency's department
for education and culture, about
700,000 Jewish children in the free
world receive some sort of Jewish
education, but over a million get
none at all. He said there was an
urgent need for at least 2,000 more
teachers in Jewish communities
abroad.
Jewish Agency Chairman Aryeh
L. Pincus disclosed that the United
Jewish Appeal's Israel Education
Fund has brought in $25,000,000
since it was established four years
ago. He said that in that period the
Jewish Agency had constructed
32 schools and educational and cul-
tural institutions in new develop-
ment towns.
Pincus spoke at a farewell lunch-
eon to Ralph Goldman, outgoing
director-general of the education
fund. Goldman has been appointed
co-chairman of Malben, the Joint
Distribution Committee agency
helping aged and sick in Israel.
Decalogue: A series of command-
ments, tenrin number—just enough
to permit an intelligent selection
for observance, but not enough to
embarrass the choice.
—Ambrose Bierce.

Connecticut Parochaid Opposed by Faith Groups
HARTFORD (JTA)—The Jewish
Community Relations Council of
Connecticut has joined with the
Connecticut Council of Churches in
opposition to a bill that would pro-
vide state financial aid to the par-
ents of children in parochial and
other private schools in Connecti-
cut. A brief drafted by representa-
tives of the two groups was sub-
mitted to the State Legislature
detailing the reasons for their op-
position.
It was drafted in part by Jeffrey
M. Mines, a Hartford attorney who
heads the Jewish Community Rela-
tions Council's legislative commit-
tee. The bill is supported by the
Connecticut Catholic Committee of
Education and the bishops of the
diocese of Hartford, Bridgeport and
Norwich.
