for emigration from Rumania under new regulations put into offeel by the Bucharest Government. The new regulations provide that |he exit visa is valid fof three months, »n against four1 weeks under previous rules. This gives the emigrant more time to dispose of his property. Under the new rules, departing .lews receive only a t.t>ecial card valid for Israel. This special card is not rocognized by any government, other than Israel, ns a valid document. None, of the Rumanian Jews therefore could go to nny country except Israel, About Reventy percent of all immigrants during the past two months are from Eastern Europe, primarily Rumania.

Families Reunited in Touching Scenes at Haifa Port By BORIS SMOLAR Haifa—Moving scenes of the reunion of families lomj sundered were enacted nt dock-side here as a Greek ship chartered by the Jewish Agency brought in 257 Jewish immgrants. Two hundred of the newcomers aboard the vessel, the S, S. Aeolia, had left Rumania only a week ago. They had gone by train to Naples via Viennn. From the Italian port they wero brought on this ship to Israel'* port of Haifa where, parents wero reunited with children, and brother* with Bisters. Onco more famllie* came together, long torn apart because Rumania had closed its gatci to
Jewish emigration eight years ago. American Journalists here observing the joyful scenes viewed the situation as a reenactment of the early year* of large-scale Jewish Immigration into the United States two generations ago. More than a fourth of the new immigrants from Rumania were immediately assisted this morning by their Israeli relatives. The latter took their new found kind to t h e i r own h o m e s , scattered throughout the country. The rest of tho immigrants were taken from the pier to settlements prepared for their reception in Jerusalem, Haifa, the rugged Lachlsh area or In the hills of Galilee. Tho majority of the immigrants
are middle aged or younger. Most of the adults have two children or more. There were in this transport a number of physicians, architects and other professionals but the majority consisted of qualified artisans and mechanics — nn element considered by tbe Israelis AS_a very welcome addition to the economy of the country. Some of the passengers aboard the Aeolia have relatives in the United States. But when they were u3ked whether they would have preferred to go to America, even if they could have overcome the weir nigh insurmountable obstacles to obtaining American visas In Bucharest, they rc-plicd (hat they preferred to coinn to Israel.
The sentiments of those who have kin in the United Statel seemed best expressed by one of this group: he said he had received a message from his American relatives in New York Inviting him to come there. "In the United States," he said, "I have one relative; in Israel all Jews are relatives." None of the newcomers was able to explain the sudden change of the Rumanian Government regarding Jewish emigration. There wore some on the Aeolia who applied for exit visas as long as seven years ago. Their applications had been denied. Then suddenly they not only received permits—they were aetunlly coumged to seek exit.

M. Jacobs Lauded By Omaha Schools Morris E. Jacobs, Omaha publie relations executive and first preskk-n' of the ]9)5 cigani/ed State Board of Education, w a s l a u d e d for his l e a d e r s h i p in? "matters pertaining to education" in Omaha Public Schools Supeiintendent's publication. Mr. Jacobs icelectcd to a M \ year term on the board in 1956, re-Morris I J.uolis cently found it necessary to resign b' :ausc of his extensive conimitmenls as an advrrtising executive. The publication said, "It is difficult to assess the influence of a iran whose talents are of such telling quality of Mr. Jacobs. As one of the country's adept public relations consultants and as one who knew Omaha and Nebraska as intimately as he kiic people generally, he understood when and how to advance his convictions effectively. Fortunately one of those convictions was that he owed much to education and that by accepting every opportunity to support education for the benefit of all children he was only repaying a personal debt." "Perhaps this resolve, held over the years, was as helpful in creating a favorable climiate for educational improvement in Omaha as was his official contribution as a member of the state board and as the master campaigner in the highly successful S20,000,000 bond issue in Omnha." "For his leadership jn matters pertaining to education, the Omaha schools honor Morris Jacobs and looks forward to r continuation of the came constructive relationship with him in his 'civilian1 role."
