PITTSBURGH—Portraying the multiple problems that confront Israel as rep-
resenting an accumulation of challenge& that could well afford the continuity of
- the Jewish state's progress in receiving large numbers of new immigrants as well as
the economic position of the country and the growing needs for defense, Louis Pincus,
chairman of the Jewish Agency, in an address that contained the most complete sum-
mary of existing conditions affecting Israel, issued a challenge to American Jewry to
"hold the line."
Indicating that vastly increased taxation in Israel will be applied entirely to the
military needs, Pincus spoke about the many educational, welfare, housing and other
needs that have created great problems for Israel, and he told the leaders of American
Jewry at the CJFWF assembly banquet Saturday night that American Jewry must
"hold , the line to prevent conditions in
Israel from getting worse."
"It will get worse if we do not hold the
line of assuring support for the many tasks
that must continue in Israel," he declared.
At one point he indicated that if the cur-
