David Schweitzer, financial administrator of the Joint Distribution Committee, said European Jewry's plight was 100 times worse than that of the poorest U.S. Jews. The Wailing Wall Commission ruled that the Moslems owned the wall but that Jews must have free access for devotion except for some restrictions, like no blowing of the shofar. 10 Years Ago This Week: 1961 Israeli officials said a published report that Israeli guns sold to West Germany had been resold to Portugal, which was resisting independence forces, had been planted by ex-Nazi Franz Von Leers, psychological warfare expert for Egypt. Histadrut, marking its 40th anniversary, honored AFL-CIO presi- dent George Meany. New York Gov.

Hebrew University Prof. Leo Kohn, political advisor to the foreign ministry and drafter of Israel's proposed constitution, died in Jeru- salem at age 67.

Israel Schochat, director general of Israel's police ministry and founder of the "Shomer" self-defense organization, died in Tel Aviv at age 73. MONTREAL (JTA)—A Canadian Jewish population expert has esti- mated that the Jewish population has grown from about 250,000 in 1964 to an estimated 300,000 in 1971. The data, prepared by Louis Rosenberg, research director emer- itus of the Canadian Jewish Con- gress and research consultant, was reported in the Inter-Office Infor- mation bulletin of the CJC and Bnai Brith. Rosenberg indicated he based his figures on the official census data for 1961, plus official govern- ment statistics on Jewish immi- grants for the years 1961-1966, described as "the only ones avail- able," plus his estimates for 1967- 1970, as well as the assumption that the rate of natural increase was about the same as for the period of 1955-1960. He said that was the latest period for which statistics were available. The prov- ince with the largest number of Jews, both in 1961-109,344—and in 1971-131,700—was Ontario. The smallest were Prince Ed- ward Island and the Northwest Territories and Yukon. Each was listed as having 22 Jewish inhabit- ants in 1961 and 20 in 1971. Metro- politan Montreal was the city listed as having the largest number of Jews in both years — 102,724 and 113,000. Metropolitan Halifax, with 1,186 in 1961 and 1,200 in 1971, was the city with the smallest number of Jews.
