One of the largest groups of women ever to attend the overall dessert luncheon meeting of their Philanthropies Campaign Division, kept their annual date last week. Nearly 700 packed the Crossroads Auditorium to hear Yael Dayan, young Israeli Sabra who came to tell them why there Is an urgent need for their contributions In Israel now even more than ever. Responsibility Accepted For one thing, Miss Dayan, a well-established author and former Israel army lieutenant, declared her country accepted the responsibility of Immigrants, but their absorption into tlio country is far from complete and stressed that there is a big Job yet to be done.' "There are 40,000 living in shanties today and tho number is Increasing everyday," she pointed out. "We peed help to give these people homos and Jobs."
Miss Dayan said that if nothing is done, Israel will bo just another country In the Mid-East, but if help is forthcoming, she added, "we will build, and do this Job together." ' Honorary Admiral Harry Trustin, Jewish Federation president, presented the young speaker with a certificate malting her "an honorary admiral in the Nebraska navy." Mrs. Alexander D.

Parade of Israel Achievements In Place of Military Strength. Special Israel Correspondent Haifa—Without any reference •whatsoever fo the rs:;olution of the Security Council on Isiael's IndepenccDay parade m Jerusalem, tliis observer again in 1961, as last yi.ir must record hi-, regret at '.he undue e m p h a s i s which continues to be p 1 a c c d year after ye 'i, on the milit.il> aspects of tin* parade. The tanks, the half-tracks, the heavy and light artillery, the row tipon row of marching men—all these, which make of Independencc Day a 'mighty demonstration-of Israel's strength and power—are to my mind foreign to ..the'spirit'which .should prevail on this day. There was a time when we had to prove, to ourselvM -ml 1<> others, that we, were powerful enough to resist uttaek and to deter aggression. The proof In no longer required. True, wo must he dtrong and nfi must remain utrong, lint Independence Day uliould not he the oeeasion for Israel to flex Its inuseles. • Rather should this be the day on which we parade before our people and all the world those achievements in which I s r a e l takes pride. The p r o c e s s i o n through the streets of our cities should be Israel's manner of proclaiming,.!" manner dramatic: On this anniversary of independence nnd the.; establishment of our state, we take stock of that which we have accomplished. In these things we are stronjj; in these things we find justification of the struggle for independence; in these things we seek to show that-a nation lives for ends which have value, and that military might is not on end in itself. One section of the parade could portray growth and progress in tcience and technology. A couple of thousand 'students from the Technion, I s r a e l Institute of Technology,.would serve to portray most dramatically what Israel is doing in the fields of civil, mechanical and chemical engineering; a r c h i t e c t u r e and town planning; mining,' metallurgy nnd mechanics; aeronautical engineering and electronics —in short, a vivid, living demonstration of a vital area of national achievement. 1 Another.section.of the parade would be devoted to developments In agriculture. The marching men and women would carry pitchforks and rakes instead of rifles and machine guns. Tho.cmphasis would be on ploughshares, not on swords. Surely this Is in the best Jewish.-tradition. A motorcade of g a i l y decorated farm machinery of all kinds might not rumble as much as Sherman tanks, but it would serve to accent an Israel with a new set of values. A section of physicians, nurses, sanitation workers, medical students and laboratory assistants would point up the great advances Israel has made In man's fight against disease. Industry, education, social wel-

And instead of unveiling a new weapon, Israel could use the occasion to reveal a new . breakthrough in man's b a 111 e against the desert, poverty or disease. Surely tills would bn a parado wlileh would command world attention, If only because of Its novelty. It would serve us an cxumple to the nations. It would pluce tlio eni[ilinsis wlicro It properly belongs when a people observes Its iiiitlor.nl fete. And if reminder were required that all which has been accomplished must l>e defended by armed might if necessary, well, the parade could begin—and close— with a single, mighty armed tank at each end. Such symbolism, serving as .a kind of framework for the larger picture, would lose none of its significance. Merely because other nations parade their soldiers on Independence Day is no reason why Israel must do likewise. Let us not l>c afraid to break with precedents such as these, and to strike out boldly ill the setting of new and better world precedents. In Israel's 14th Independence Day parade in ]f)62, let there be a glittering and imaginative procession ot festive floats, manned by the country's scientists, teachers, writers, -students, nurses, farmers--and children,
Israel Exhibits Arms Progress Jerusalem C1TA)—Three hundred thousand spectators watched as Israel marked Its 13th anniversary with a parade of more than '1,000 soldiers and 2,'i mobile units assembled to demonstrate Israel's continuing progress in nrmor and artillery capability. The 40-minute parado of military might include the first display of medium Centurion tanks and 105-mm self-propelled guns .mounted on half-tracks, the latter a device developed by Israeli engineers. Two arms of Israel's miltary forces—Its jet-equipped air force and its navy—were represented symbolically by specially dressed marchers in the parade. The navy could not be represented in a land march and the air force was deliberately absent because the location of new Jerusalem nnd the Israeli-Jordan demarcation line nearby make it impossible for fast-moving jets to maneuver without a risk o£ being over Jordanian air space.

"The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 introduced new elements, turning back the clock of history," he said. "The Crystal Night destruction of Jewish property and synagogues In 1938 was conducted by the official Nazi apparatus itself. Even In the Middle Ages, Jews could retain some sort of order, could enjoy some rights, even if those rights were restricted. But under the Nazi;regime, the Jews became a classless society."

THE JEWISH
FadsOTC!Figures Reveal By J'. Nilmr A pamphlet published not Ions DUO by tho Institute of Jewish A(lairs of tho World Jewish Congress mid called "Tho Jewish Communities of tho World" contains figures and general information on Jewish communities everywlicie, their demography, political anil organizational status, education and press. The facts and fi^uri'S that it docs contain arc full of interest for those wlio know bow to read them, if only for some of the oddities of Jewish lil'o in various countries that these facts and figures reveal. Islam ICmhraci'd The countries which contain no Jews whatsover are Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, all three Arab-countries who still maintain tin Implacable hostility toward the •State of Israel. Yemen originally contained about 50,000 Jews, but nil but a few hundred of them emigrated to Israel after tho establishment of the Jewish state. The Yemen i;ov<.-rmncnl itself hastened the process of Jewish emigration by the threat of expulsion and the few Jews who wanted to remain there had to embrace Islam In order to be able to stay on. No Jens in Iceland These are the medieval, fanatical, anti-Jewish Arab lands who refuse to harbor Jews within their borders. But there is another country, a very progressive, West European country, ulbeit a small one, which also seems to contain no Jews whatsoever, since the pamphlet doesn't even list it. This Is Icclaml,.j]ow an independent country which was once upon a time a colony of Denmark. Iceland has no doubt been a temporary residence for many American Jewish servicemen, since the United States has an air base there, find probably many American Jewish tourists have during the years paid a visit to this large island in the Atlantic that nlmost reaches to the Arctic Circle. Cut isn't there a single Jew. Jsh permanent resident in Iceland? Apparently not. And If such Is the case, we don't know the exact reason for It—whether it's because the Government won't admit Jews or because Jews themselves don't care to settle there. 300 Left In China Two small countries in the heart of Asia are also not listed and we may assume that they contain no Jews; they arc Nepal and Bhutan, wedged in the Himalaya Mountains between India and China and nmonj; the most backward countries In the world. The Jewish population of China itself, which has the largest population of any country In the world, has as a result of the Communist take-over of, China dwindled from about 30,000 at the beginning of World War II to about 300 now. In Ceylon too, a country with many millions of people, there are only about 10 Jews left and the tormer synaKogue In Colombo, the Ccylonese capital and metropolis, has been turned Into a tea house. Formosa (Taiwan), which for a time served ns a temporary haven for Jews from the mainland of China, by now has only a few Jews left, without any communal or other organization. No Ordained Rabbis'Then (here Is the oddity of Jewish communities, mostly small to be sure but lf.rger than some others who do maintain rabbis, who for one reason or another remain rabbiless. The largest of these communities which has "no ordained rabbis," Is that of Iran (Persia), the classical land of Esther and Mordecal, whose present .Jewish population numbers about 75,000 to 85,000. Most of the Jews of Iran nrfi among the poorest Jews in tlw world. Yet they do maintain synagogues, but have no rabbis to lead them. Day'School. In-Tripoli ; Other Jewish commurilf les which have no rabbi, though their size would indicate that they are able to support one, arc Spain, with about 3,000 Jews, Portugal; with 1,500, Paraguay with 1,500, Costa Tiled" With.about 300 families and IJoliva with about 4,000. The King-
dom of Libya in North Africa has about 4,300 Jews (all Sephradim): the Jews there even have a Day School in the city of Tripoli, besides several synagogues, u Talmud Toi'uh and a chazan—but no rabbi. Norway is another country for which no rabbi is listed in the pamphlet, though il contains almost a thousand Jew;: with two synagogue!; and one Jewish afternoon school. Why all these countries should be bereft of a spiritual leader we can only surmise, though in the ease of Spain il is almost certain that the restrictions placed by the Franco-Government upon the open practice of non-Catholic religions 1s tho reason for it. Perhaps the biggest surprise in tills regard, the absence of rabbis, is the large Jewish community of Argentina with its 450,000 Jews. Though it is true that Buenos Aires with its 280,000 Jews has many rabbis, we are told that outside the capital the remaining 170,000 Jews of Argentina do not have a single spiritual leader, and that Includes such Jewish communities as that of Kossario (some 15,000), Cordoba (over 8,000), and Santa Vc (over 4,000). These facts and figures would seem to Indicate that Jewish religious life in Argentina is far Weaker than In other Jewish communities of comparable size. Kngland has tho name number of Jews as that of Argentina—-150,000 (the London and Uucnos Aires Jewish populations too nro about equal). Yet there are many rabbis In small Jewish communities all over Great Britain. IltirnoH Aires—Trukli Culture Yet as regards Jewish education the Jewish community of Argentina seems to come off much better than that of England. The Buenos Aires Jewish Community pays subventions to a network of 56 Jewish primary schools with a total enrollment of about 10,000; about 35 to 40 percent of all Jewish children of school age attend Jewish schools in Buenos Aires. In England there arc at present 38 Jewish primary (including kindergarten) and secondary schools with a total enrollment of about 7,000 pupils, about one in every eight Jewish children of school age, though there are in addition a number of Jewish Sunday schools and Ycshlvolh and a certain number of Jewish children nre given some Instruction 'iy youth movements. Yiddish culture too—Yiddish newspapers, magazines, book publishing houses—is incomparably stronger in Argentina than in England, where Yiddish culture has been In gradual decline during the past two generations. So here art two Important Jewish communities in the world today, one emphasizing secular JewIshness, tho other Jewish religiosity. In one important aspect, however, the two communities are similar. Both are among tho best-organlzed Jewish communities In the world, Argentina Jewry through Its "Daia" and British Jewry through its Board of Deputies. These all-embracing Jewish organizations are able to present a united Jewish front to the world, something which American Jewry has not yet achieved. (WNS)

Jewish Governor Of Virgin Islands VVashingtoiff(JTA)—• The Senate approved by voice vote the nominal ion of Ralph Paiewonsky as Governor of the Virgin Islands. Ho is the third Jewish Governor of the Islands. The new Governor's family first arrived in the Virgin Islands from Russia in ]870 and started a .small dry goods store.

The need is the hunger of SSO.iiOO Jews throughout the world for a chance to be free and live decently.

fly Bernard Shuiutm THIS J3TII ANNIVERSARY— A parade marking Israel's Bar Mitzvah year was held in Jerusalem despite the request of the United Nations security council to cancel the event. Israel maintained the parade was not "an aggressive act" and did not endanger the peace. The rebuke to Israel stemmed from the Jordanian complaint that the general armistice agreement was being violated by the heavy military equipment u;;ed in the parade. A United States suggestion to hold the parade in another city to insure tranyuility on the Jordan - Israel frontier was disregarded by Israel. However, Israel did revise the parade route to eliminate streets from which the procession would be visible to the " Jordanians. The Kennedy administration's stand on. Jordan's complaint t<J the U.N. was to sponsor -an Amendment which put the responsibility for maintenance of the peace equally on Jordan and Israel. In so doing, the U.K. risked, and incurred, the wrath of the Arab states who wauled Israel branded as an aggressor. V.H. 'HOT I'OTATO'— The Arab states revived the Arab refugee question in the U.N., seeking the establishment of an agency to safeguard Arab property in Israel and the repatriation of Arab refugees by Israel or their compensation. Francis T. Plimpton, the American representative in the U.N., told the Arabs no resolution creating a U.N, custodian In Israel was needed. The reaction was immediate, with the U.S. Inbcleci by the Arabs as a Zionist tool and a despoiler of the Arab refugees. As expected, the Arabs were backed by the Soviet, and the U.S. was supported by the United Kingdom in the controversy. ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY—. An observance was held in Jewish c o m m u n i t i e s throughout the world to r e c a l l the Warsaw Ghetto revolt 18 years ago. President Kennedy described tho event as an "epic act of courage" which had "rightfully" become a symbol of the endurance of man's hope under the most ruinous of circumstances.'' While the event was actually a day of mourning for Jewry, tho occasion "should also be a day of extreme and Justified pride. The six million men, women and children who perished have become the symbol of true heroism." The stone and concrete "Tent of Remembrance" erected by the Yad Vashem near Jerusalem was dedicated in somber ceremonies. Dr. Mordechal Nurock, once tho chief rabbi of Latvia whose entire family was slaughtered by the Nazis, kindled the eternal light. Tho observance was of special Blgnlficance.because of tho Eichmann- trial, bjoing brought to jus*'•"•*-' r -'In a Jewish court In THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION—President Kennedy was urged by the New York Fedora, tion of Reform Synagogues to reform the immigration laws. The federation's social action confer* ence aimed a t a better immigration policy, one in keeping "with our nation's democratic concepts of equality and mercy." THIS SCHOOL QUESTION— The National Council of Young Israel, the central agency of a group of orthodox synagoguei, adopted a position opposed to the president, and asked for federal aid for parochial schools.
