upon the opinions expressed
by a number of bureau direc-

Currently available evi-
dence is insufficient to fully
explain the respective roles
of any of thise factors, he
said. There also may be ad-
ditional factors that have not
been recognized. His edu-
cated hunch was that many
communities are unable to
report on new suburban
schools which may not be
affiliated with a central
agency, and whose student

enrollment may therefore be
lacking in the figures col-
lected by the census.
AAJE reports that it is
already engaged in a series
of explorations as to the im-
plications and significance- of
these figures, stating: "Not
only does such a decline
have a profound import for
the financial condition of the
smaller schools of the coun-
try, but its impact already is
being felt on surplus teach-
ing personnel. In many com-
munities, smaller congrega-
tional schools are finding it
difficult to justify or main-
tain non-viable schools, and
have therefore called for
guidance on unification.
While qualified teaching per-
sonnel are still in shortage,
many of the larger communi-
ties are reporting excess
teachers."

Day school enrollment is
reportedly running counter to
the tide. According to the
AAJE report, day school en-
rollment increased 10.8 per
cent from 1966 to 1970, and
an additional 3.1 per cent
from 1969-1970 to 1970-1971.
The rate of increase appears
to have slackened somewhat
in the intermediate-size cities,
and almost halted in greater
New York. In 32 reporting
cities, the day school enroll-
ment appeared to represent
20.9 per cent of the total re-
ported enrollment for 1970-

TEL AVIV — Hillel Kook,
better known during World
War II as Peter Bergson of
the "Stern Gang," stated on
Israel TV that the Irgun was
never an offshoot of the Re-
visionist movement.
"Even .Ze'ev Jabotinsky
was very cool to the Irgun,"
said Kook.
In an interview with a re-
porter from Yediot Ahronot,
Kook characterized Menahem
Begin, one-time commander
of the Irgun, as a"profes-
sional and distinguished dis•
torter of history."

She called it a "distortion"
and "non sequitdr" to claim
that the situation of Soviet
Jews h a s "deteriorated"
since Nixon's summit talks
in Moscow. She said "there
is no cause and effect" on
the matter of Soviet Jews,
and that the Kremlin's pol-

said that Nixon has "made
it clear" in Moscow and in
his Camp David talks with
Soviet Foreign Minister An-

American people are opposed
to the exit tax" and that
American-Soviet trade agree-
ments "will be imperiled, in
terms of congressional sup-

"does not reverse its policy"
on the exit tax.
