Israel Transit Camps Reopened
Repatriation Extended
Jerusalem MTA)—The Jewish Agency reopened nine maabarot (transit camps) to house ne"I>arrived immigrants from Eastern Europe. The number o£ immigrants already arrived here now exceeds the permanent housing made ready for the Immigrant flood in a speeded-up conslruction program. Figures published on the vocational composition of the new immigration indicated that Israel stands to profit by acquisition of professional skills. In the five months since large-scale immiRratlon vvflB renewed from' Eastern Europe, about 500 professional men and women have arrived here. Their number included 162 medical doctors, 100 engineers and !MT economists nnd ncrmmtants.
Jerusalem (JTA)—The repatriation treaty between the Soviet Union and Poland, under which tens of thousands of Jews were returned from the USSR together with many non-Jews, has been extended, it was reported here today. However, repatriated Jews, returlng to their homes, were unwanted, in most cases, they could not recover apartments or homes, could find no jobs and became relief clients.

the nation-wide, hook-up heard Ilabhi Herbert Friedman and Morris W. Bcrinstcin, national V5jitte4 Jewish Appeal leaders, report on the decisions adopted in Miami Beach at the national UJA conference, to mobilize maximum American Jewish aid for the transportation and settlement of th» Rumanian Jewish immigrants in Israel. 'Must filve More Speedily' Mr. Berinstein toW the 10,000 listeners that "the thousands of newcomers to Israel every month find Israel's 2,000,000 people ready to give them the greatest gift anyone can give—their home, their welcome, their every physicul help. We in America are on\y a»\usd tt» give our dollars. But we must givs them more speedily and more generously than ever before in order to help UOA to cope with the giant needs presented by the huge emigration." KubM FrtiHlmnn reported that already 100,00 of Itiunnnln's Jew* had registered for emigration out ot a total Jewish vopuUvUon ot more than 350,000. He added: "The act of registration i* a clear and positive indication that the Individual wishes to go. Once a would* lie iniinlgront reglsterers, he does not Iiavn the option of elianglnir Ills mind." Absorption Costs Rabbi Friedman asked that Jewish communities throughout the land "give* full philanthropic priority" to the needs of Israel's new immigrants. "If there is any doubt in anyone's mind how sorely funds are needed, let him remember that it will cost about $160,000,000 to receive and absorb 100,000 immigrants—SfiO.OOO.OOO inora than we seek in the UJA special fund this year," he said. The Vih cxecutWe henn aftOeci: "Two months ago it was our hope to help tear down 30,000 tin huts and shacks which still house 120,000 of Israel's earlier immigrants. Today, with the new and hugo influx of Eastern European Jews pouring \n at the rate of 8.0D0 a month or more, plans are being made to use these very same huls and shacks for the wwcomevs, ^l necessary. We must not let this necessity conic to pass." . Mr. Newman c o n c l u d e d tho meeting with a dlscussloj* ot» campaign problems which niust be faced in the forthcoming drive here. ':
