country's Jewish population
of 7,000 were aided through .
the Yugoslav Federation of
Jewish Communities.
JDC expenditures in
Western Europe reached a
new high at $5,353,000,
Haber reported. This was
due mainly to the sharply
increased number of
transmigrants, enroute
mainly to the United
States, who were cared for
by the JDC in Vienna and
Rome while waiting for
immigration fornialities to
be completed. Expendi-
tures for this ,program
alone almost doubled to
about $3 million in 1975 as
compared with 1974. -
JDC's programs in Mos-
lem and Arab countries
aided over 32,000 Jews in
1975 at an expenditure of
over $3,900,000, he reported.
The Jewish population in
the-Moslem and Arab coun-
tries has dropped from
about 1,000,000 after World
War II to about 100,000 at
the present time.
In Iran, the program was
directed mainly-toward edu-
cation, school feeding pro-
grams, health services and
youth activities aiding about
16,500 of the country's
75,000 Jews. In Morocco
about 9,500 of the country's
20,000 Jews were assisted.
Here again, the major share
of JDC expenditures went
toward services for children
and young people, Haber
said.

Meanwhile, in Helsinki,

In New York, Chaim Her-
zog, Israel's Ambassador to
the United Nations, de-
clared that Jews must act
decisively to defend Israel
and the Jewish people
against attacks in the UN
and elsewhere.
He said the response of
Jews to Mexico's vote for the
UN General Assembly's
anti-Zionist resolution was
the reason that Mexican
Foreign Minister Emilio
Rabasa placed a wreath at
the tomb of Theodor Herzl
in Jerusalem last week.
Herzog's remarks, made
to some 600 Jewish leaders
attending a dinner at the
New York Hilton ending
the 61st annual meeting of
the Joint Distribution
Committee, was an appar-
ent reference to the cancel-
lation by American Jewish
organizations and individ-
uals of scheduled trips to
Mexico.
In Detroit it was reported

than half of the expendi-

social welfare and medical
care. JDC continues to chan-
nel funds into Syria and
Egypt to aid needy Jews in
those countries.
Robert I. Goldman, for-
merly associate director of
the JDC's Malben program
in Israel, was elected execu-
tive vice-chairman succeed-
ing Haber. Before coming to
the JDC in 1969, Goldman

Jewish Appeal. He played a
major role in the establish-
