NYC Agency Dedicates
New Center; Gets U.S.
Grant to Help Hippies
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Educa-
tional Alliance, the oldest settle-
ment house in the United States
sponsored by Jews, has dedicated
a new recreation center as part of
a $2,250,000 complex which in-
cludes apartment housing for the
elderly. The agency, an affiliate
of the Federation of Jewish Phil-
anthropies, now serves more than
7,000 members on the Lower East
side of Manhattan.
In another development, the in-
stitution received a $25,000 fed-
eral grant for a pilot project aimed
at creating "bridging mechanisms"
with the hippies in East Village.

Alliance could continue a program
it has been operating in an East
Village storefront since March
1968.
Officials said the number of hip-
pies, though it has probably not
increased, is still substantial. The
storefront was opened to provide
medical services, emergency food
and help in finding sleeping ar-
rangements, a place for craft work,
and counseling when the young
people were willing to accept it.
Therapy and psychiatric help is
also provided when the hippies ask
for it.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Deputy
Prime Minister Yigal Allon pre-
dicted here that the Soviet Union

Year.

expected, of which 12,000 would
cope from Europe, 6,500 from
Nokth America, 13,200...from Asia
nia -Africa and the Zest from
Latin America, Australia and New
Zealand. . _

period will be in the summer,
when some 4,000 arrivals per
month were expected.

Sinai Armor Units
