a switch from the labor parties

NEW YORK—For the first time
in Israel's history, this month's
elections may produce a Labor
Party government that is nil de
pendent on alliances with other
groups in order to command a
majority in the Knesset elections
in Israel Oct. 28.
This analysis is suggested in a
study by Herbert Smith, election
analyst, director of the Manpower
Nanning Authority in the Israel
Ministry of Labor, in "Preview
to Israel Elections, 1969," pub-
lished by the foreign affairs de-
partment of the American Jewish
Committee.
Smith explains that the Ma pal,
Ahdut Avoda and Rafi, three labor
parties, have merged to form one
unified Labor Party, a n d the
Mapam. a Leftist labor party, will
join it in offering a single labor
alignment slate on the ballot this
year.
In contrast, Smith reports, the
religious bloc has tended to split.
This year he expects there to be
three separate religious party
slates representing the National
Religious Party, Agudat Israel,
and Poale Agudat Israel.
The Center parties on the ballot
include the alignment of the lIerid
and I.iberal Parties, known by the
Ilebre• acronym of Gallia, ti '
Free Center, which recently split
off from Gahal, and the Independ-
ent Liberal.
There are other blocs and minor
parties. usually composed of min-
ority groups. The small Commu
nist Party splintered into two no
clear parties in 1965, one mainly
Jewish (Maki): the other mainly
Arab tIlakaht.
In analyzing past election re-
turns, Smith learned that the per-
centage of votes the major blocs
received in each of the six previous
Knesset elections has followed a
rather steady pattern, with t h e
Labor bloc winning about 50 per
cent of the vote; Center, 25 per
cent: religious, 14 per cent: minor-
ity parties affiliated with Mapai,
4 per cent: Communists, 4 per
cent, and other parties, 3 per cent.

major blocs in the three main

Broido pointed out that as the
country developed, JDC-Malben
reshaped a number of its pro-
grams. "A f ter JDC- Malben
brought the tuberculosis problem
under control, it coordinated pro-
grams with other agencies to
extend modern 'treatment f o r
tuberculosis to the general popu-
lation as well as to newcomers,"
he said. JDC helped establish a
psychiatric trust fund in 1958,
which improved the country's
mental health program, and pro-
vided 1,125 additional beds for
the mentally ill.

Jewish Book Month, sponsored by the Jewish Book Council of the
National Jewish Welfare Board, this colorful trilingual poster has
been newly-designed by Ismar David, noted caligrapher, for the cul-
