"There can be no Jewish National Home without men and land." he said. The Berlin budget commission rejected an anti-shechita bill pro- posed by the National Socialists. On another front, a Hitlerite deputy , declared. "We are not interested in the protection of animals but we hope that anti-Semitism will keep Jewish visitors away from the sum- mer resorts in Thuringia." Dr. Drummond Shiels, British undersecretary for the colonies, said suspension of Jewish immigration into Palestine was temporary, pending receipt of Sir John Simpson's immigration study. In New York, 25,000 Jews, keynoted by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, marched to protest the suspension. A Jewish family in Falenica. near Warsaw, watched its house burn down rather than violate the Sabbath by attempting to put it out, or call the fire department.

Housing Fund Aids :Refugees In the past eight years, the North was recently extended to all Jew- African Housing Fund has extend- ish. newcomers in France, regard- ed loans to over 3,000 Jewish refu- less of their country of origin. gee families newly arrived in France, it was reported by Sam- uel L. Haber, executive vice- chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee. Since large families are the rule in North Africa, the loans have benefited 16.750 individuals, in many cases permitting them to get out of overcrowded slums into decent, if modest, apartments, Haber said. As of December 1969, the fund's total expenditures amounted to over 82,000,000. The housing fund was set up in December 1961 to meet the needs of several thousand Jews who fled from Tunisia to France following the outbreak of fighting at Bizerte. Then, as now, the acute shortage of low-cost housing in France pre- sented one of the greatest obstacles to the integration of new refugees. To help the newcomers, the JDC took the initiative in setting up the housing fund, with an origi- nal capital of 6200,000. As partners JDC enlisted the Fonds Social Juif Unife (the central French fund- raising and social services agency) and two British agencies — the Central British Fund for Jewish Relief and Rehabilitation and the Jewish Colonization Association. In the spring of 1962, the Nor- wegian Refugee Council made a grant of 536,000 to the fund. Further contributions from the original four partners and also frain a number of European Jew- ish communities eventually raised its capital to 51,000.000.
