JERUSALEM (JTA)—
The Jewish Agency's sixth

ended a week of deliber-
ations with the adoption of

the next fiscal year and af-
firmations of unswerving
support for Israel by world
Jewry regardless of which
political party happens to
head its government. But

two major issues that were
the subject of lengthy de-
bate by the 600 delegates
from 90 countries attending
the Assembly were not re-
solved.
These were implementa-
tion of the controversial
Horev commission report
and the problem of drop-
outs-Jewish emigres from
the Soviet Unioh who opt to
go to countries other than
Israel after reaching
Vienna.
The Horev commission
recommended last year
that the Absorption Min-
istry and the Jewish
Agency's aliya department
be replaced by an independ-
ent absorption authority re-
sponsible directly to the
Prime Minister and headed
by the chairman of the Jew-
ish Agency and World Zion-
ist Organization Execu-
tives. Those issues apparent-
ly will be left to the 29th
World Zionist Congress
scheduled to convene here
in February.
Meanwhile, Israelis at-
tending the General As-
sembly were heartened by
the words of Max Fisher of
Detroit, chairman of the
Jewish Agency's Board of
Governors, who addressed
the closing session in the
presence of Premier Men-
ahem Begin.

"All
too
often
we
cease to won-
der at the
marvel of Is-
,. ra el's exist-
ence," Fish-
er said. "We
forget
the
stress,
the
Fisher
suffering and
the anguish." His words re-
flected support and under-
standing of Israel's prob-
lems and were especially re-
assuring when he turned to
Begin and declared, "Mr.
Prime Minister, gO forward
with strength, with convic-
tion and with wisdom. And
we will - be with .you."
This allayed fears that
widespread misgivings in Is-
rael and abroad over the
hard-line policies of the
Begin government might re-
sult in an erosion of support
for Israel in the American
Jewish and other Diaspora
communities.
Fisher also addressed
himself to changes in the
Jewish Agency itself.: He
emphasized the need for Is-
rael. "The Jewish Agency -
can no longer be an in-
strument of politics," he
said.
"Today
the
Jewish
Agency exists and touches
every facet of Jewish life in
Israel and belongs to the en- .
tire Jewish people. The
Agency must have a work-
ing relationship with the
new Israeli government. It
is only logical—but whoever
is ruling must recognize the
Agency's new character,"
he said.
Fisher indicated support
for the Horev proposals
which he described as a
"beginning" although "it
does not have all the an-
swers". Addressing Begin,
he said, "We hope the essen-
tial thrust of the Horev re-
port will be accepted.as one
of your highest priorities."
With respect to drop-outs,
Fisher told the Assembly,
"Something has gone wrong
with our approach in immi-
gration and absorption." He
asked, "Why are Russian
Jews dropping out? Why
are dissatisfied immigrants
leaving? What is there
about the system that we
can correct?" He added

JERUSALEM (JTA)—'
The theft and sale of a mat-
riculation mathematics
exam that was to be given
nationally this week had the
Knesset in an uproar, set in
motion a police in-
vestigation and seriously
embarrassed the Ministry
of Education only just
taken over by the National
Religious Party (NRP).
Education Minister Zevu-
lun Hammer humbly admit-
ted to a shocked Knesset
chamber that the exam had
been stolen and was being
sold widely for a high
price. He said it has been
withdrawn and that a new
exam was under prepara-
tion and would be ready by
Monday.
that "No immigrant need
encounter red tape and no
immigrant need experience
frustration."
He said the Jewish
Agency would be more ac-
countable through greater
participation by Jews
abroad in its activities and
decision-making processes.
Leon Dulzin, Jewish
Agency Treasurer, ob-
served in his budget speech
that fund-raising campaigns
at that time seem to be un-
satisfactory. "The problem
is that we have failed to get
across the basic message of
Israel's needs and their
relationship to Israel's ulti-
mate security and develop-
ment," he said. He noted
that at time of military
peril, Diaspora Jewry re-
sponded with contributions
two and three timek great-
err than the peacetime
levels.
Dulzin, a member of the
Liberal Party wing of
Likud, is virtually certain
to be a candidate for the
Jewish Agency-WZO chair-
manship at the next Zionist
Congress.
He is a strong supporter
of the Horev recommenda-
tions which has brou'' t
him into conflict with his
Likud colleague, Absorption
Minister David Levi, who in-
sists that his ministry be ex-
panded rather than di-
mantled.
Nine officers of the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation of
Detroit and the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign-Israel Emer-
gency Fund participated in
the meetings, including
Fisher, honorary chairman
of the. JWF executive com-
mittee.
Paul Zuckerman, presi-
dent of the United Jewish
Appeal, opened the session
on international fund-rais-
ing. Dr. Leon Fill, a past
Campaign chairman and a
member of the JWF Board
of Governors, and Frieda .
Stollman, a JWF vice presi-
dent, were the other Detroit
delegates.
Alternates were Robert
M. Citrin, Shirley Harris;
Jane Sherman, and Dulcie
Rosenfeld.
