The program, originally funded last year as a pilot project by United Jewish Charities, is designed to further the development of those identified as future community leaders. The mission, held Jan. 11-20, was "an extremely positive experience," said Michael W. Maddin, Had- rakha chairman. "The par- ticipants got an even stronger feeling for what the Allied Jewish Cam- paign accomplishes. They are looking forward to shar- ing the depth of their ex- perience with others." The group traveled to many key sites, including Ramla, Detroit's "twin city" through Project Renewal; the Yad Vas- hem memorial to the Six Million; and the Jewish Agency, for meetings with top leaders. Of special significance was a Bar Mitzva service at the Western Wall for three participants, two of whom had never been Bar Mitzva. Before leaving, the group attended a series of educa- tional programs covering many aspects of communal leaderhip, including an overview on Federation's member agencies and a practicum on solicitation techniques, explained Dress Infraction at Doenitz Rites, Two Charged MED AL D ET CENTS S, INC.

MURRAY WEIDENBAUM Jewish Labor Movement Focus on Austrian Exhibit VIENNA (JTA) — The contribution of the Jewish labor movement in the fight for social justice and against militarism and racism be- tween the two world wars is documented in a major ex- hibition on the Austrian labor movement during those years. The exhibition, which opened here last week, is in honor of Chancellor Bruno Kreisky's 70th birthday. Before 1914 only a small part of the Jewish popula- tion in Vienna was proleta- rian. Nevertheless, the Poale Zion (proletarian Zionists) organization was first organized in 1904. At the beginning of World War I, a large number of refu- gees from Galicia contrib- uted to the rapid growth of the Poale Zion organization. War, hunger and iden- tification with the Bol- shevik revolution in Rus- sia in 1917 led to a radicalization of the group... A -considerable number of Poale Zionists . joined the newly founded Communist Party. The rest of the group con- tinued to adhere to the pro- gram of Poale Zion till the beginning of fascism in Au- stria in 1934. Many Jewish workers were also members of the Social Democratic Party. Between the two wars the Jewish population of Vienna numbered up tc 200,000. The Jewish com- munity had a varied cul- tural life, including news- papers, institutions and a Yiddish theater which flourished until the Nazis overran Austria. Foreign Trade Deficit Reduced TEL AVIV (JNI) — Is- rael's trade deficit fell by 13 percent in 1980, even with rising oil prices.
