Argentine Jews [Joiv Living in Israel Israel—About 1,000 Argentine Jews immigrated to Israel during 1962, which 13 almost double the number of the previous year. The average rate of departures is now about 200 people each month, many of them professional and technical workers, including young married couples. There was one remarkable group; an entire Sephardi family, consisting of nine married brothers and their families —a total of 39 persons. Altogether 12,000 Latin American Jews have gone to Israel since the establishment of the State, about 7,000 of them from Argentina. Immigration offices note that the demand for information fluctuates with the degree of antisemitic violence.
Further Egyptian Intervention Is Seen by Premier Jerusalem: Prime Minister Ben Gurion, ,at a meeting hero, predicted Egyptian intervention in the Yemen as preparation for similar ventures in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, with the encirclement of Israel as the eventual aim. To meet this challenge, he said, Israel's defense had to be built up. Modern Weapons were expensive and Israel would have to find "much money" to pay for them.
Home, Jerusalem Join Jn Exploring Past Israel: The Antiquities Department of the Israel Ministry of Education and the University of Rome have concluded an agreement for joint archaeological work in Israel for the next three years. Under the agreement, a joint mission will conduct e x c a v a tions in Western Galilee, mainly at the sites of the ancient church at Shavei Zion and the Phoenician cemetery at Aliziv. Both sites have been excavated in the past by the Antiquities Department, and the agreement will facilitate work on a larger scale.

B'nai i'iiih Safety Award to ILHansen

The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. now observing its Fiftieth Anniversary, was founded in 1913 "to end the malicious defamation of Jews" and "to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike." This year, the League will present its 19G3 America's Democratic Legacy Award to President John F. Kennedy in recognition of the President's "efforts to broaden the benefits of civil rights and assure the application of constitutional principles of freedom to all Americans." In the years between 1013 and 1963, Uie history of the League parallels and played a role in the history of democratic progress in the United States. The award presentation to President Kennedy at a dinner to be held in Washington, 0.C., on January 31 will mark the opening of a year-long observance of ADL's Golden Anniversary. In its fifty years of life, the League has devoted itself to closing the gap between the ideal of Amercian democracy and its reality. THE EARLY YEARS: Overt and unabashed anti-Semitism appeared in a profusion of fonns in 1913—in religious tags used in newspaper reports. THE 1920'S—The rise of the Ku Klux Klan and the incredible seven-year anti-Jewish campaign of Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent were the beginnings of organized and wellfinanced anti-Semitism in the United States. The League, originator of the model anti-Ku Klux Klan legislation forcing the KKK to unmask, ultimately saw the Klan's power diminish. Too. it received the written apology of Henry Ford to the Jewish people. But the damage was done—defamation did -indeed lead to discrimination, in housing, in religious quota systems or outright bans in education, employment, and housing. The League's job had just begun. THE HITLER YEARS: ADL battles of the 1920's were but a preview of the bitter campaigns to be waged in the 1930's when Hitler's rise to power in Ger-

many provided the impetus for a variety of full-blown American fascist organizations. The League expanded its staff and educational programs. It compiled a vast storehouse of information on America's fascists —who they were, where their money came from, the nature of their backing, their links with Germany. League files became a leading reference source for the FBI, local law enforcement agencies, newspapers and other mass media, and were of substantial help in keeping down incidents of subversion and sabotage. THE POST-WAR Y E A R S : With the violent fascist menace interred, ADL was able to enlarge the scope of its activities —to champion legal moves that would outlaw racial and religious discrimination; to aid in the legal fight against Negro segregation in education; to take a leading part in the effort to amend America's oppressive immigration regulations; support modern public education with its emphasis on the teaching of good human relations. In this post-war period, ADL expanded its library of popular and academic publications on human relations and intergroup problems. ADL research reports and materials became vital • tools for use among educators, national organizations, community groups, and religious leaders. In addition, the League produced, or acted as advisor, for films and radio and TV programs with human relations themes. Its legal activities became the backbone of many of the agency's programs to protect civil rights, safeguard religious freedom, and prevent racial or religious discrimination. TODAY: After fifty years, the Anti-Defamation League is still primarily associated with the fight against anti-Semitism, but it is also recognized as an outstanding human relations organization concerned with the rights of alL The League today is a vast national agency with headquarters in New York and twenty-five professlouajly-staffcd regional offices in major American cities across the nation.

In this area, ADL headquarters are the Plains States Regional Office, Omaha, Nebraska. It now has live basic programs: 1. Civil Rights, which includes efforts to break down barriers of discrimination and broaden the base of democracy through the use of law and social action. 2. Research, including investigation and sociological study of all aspects of prejudice and bigotry in American life. 3. Education, including publication of materials and the organization of conferences and workshops in the effort "to transform the classroom into an instrument for democracy" and to achieve interreligious understanding. 4. Community Relations, which makes the use of the League's regional offices to bring the League's concepts of human rights to the grassroots. 5. The Image of the American Jew, which is the effort to fight damaging stereotypes and caricatures and present the Jew as he is, a dedicated citizen, contributing to and sharing in the benefits of democracy. In the years from 1913 to 19C3, the United States lias seen marked progress in its democratic atmosphere, but the full promise of American democracy has yet to be reached: this is the League's fight for the future.
