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.

Under normal parliamen-• tary procedure, the Senate's move, which took the form of an amendment to the Foreign Ministry budget and which was carried by 183 votes to three with 43 abstentions, is scheduled to return to the National As- sembly for endorsement.

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 that a resolution by the Oak Park City Council condemn- ing the General Assembly resolution on Zionism was submitted to and approved by the National League of Cities week-long convention in Miami. third of the 7,000 JeWs re- maining in that country were aided in 1975. More than half of the expendi- tures went for cash relief, 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 was the first executive di- rector of the Israel Educa- tion Fund of the United Jewish Appeal. He played a major role in the establish- ment of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
