's Experts on Panels »urlt -•- Moroccan Jews h (» v e received fi,X18 passports since July 1, a u t h o r i t i e s announced, following the relaxation of travel restrictions in Morocco. An average of 170 passports has been delivered daily to Jews during September, according to official figures. The change in Moroccan policy is shown by the fact that only 1,029 passports were delivered to .Tews during tlie first three months of this year. David Amar, secretary-general of the Council of Moroccan Jewish Communities met in Casablanca with the director for civil affail's of the Minister of Justice to discuss problems of concern to Moroccan Jewry. One of Uic Hems was the problem of forced conversion of many young Jews.

"Reprinted from 'U. S. News and World Report,' published nt W a s h i n g t o n . " (.September 18, 19G1 issue.) At a time when great nations aro worrying: about survival— Look at tiny Israel. Hero Is what Is being done by a country of few people, with almost no natural resources— and surrounded by enemies. TEL AVIV, Israel As a nation, Israel is only 13 years old. In area, it i3 smaller than Massachusetts. It lins only 2.1 million inhabitants — about tho same number as the city of Philadelphia. ••.-.-• Yet Israel already has entered (he space age. It fired ft solidfuel rocket 50 miles into the Ionosphere last July 5, and now ia aiming at higher altitudes. Israel long has been in the atomic nge, with one big uranium, reactor In operation and with1 a larger reactor under- construction. In developing solar energy, Israel Is among the world's leaders. For six years it ha* been marketing golar water neater*
nnd is now developing solar refrigerators and air conditioners. An experimental plant Is producing fiteum power from solar energy. Iyocated in a part of the world that is mostly underdeveloped and scientifically backward, Israel has established itself among the most advanced nations of the world in technology. Military Power: Impressive Surrounded by hostile Arab nations, which outnumber Israelis many times In manpower, Israel has built a military force that twice has proved more than a match for its Arab foes, ' The Israeli Army is recognized as one of the strongest in the Mldenst, Military equipment made in Israel is being e x p o r t e d to Europe. The Dutch Defense Ministry recently placed a substan-_ tlal order for Israel's "Uzl" machine pistols. Israel produces its own jet trainer planes nnd soon will enter tho field of commercial aviation with a twin-engine jet aircraft designed and built hi Israel.
Although there is a shortage of almost all kinds of natural psources, Israel js wringing economic self-sufficiency from its barren soil. With n shortage of native iron ore, Israel has pioneered in developing a structural concrete which requires a minimum of steel, and has become one of the world's leading exporters of concrete. In Israel, tall buildings— up to 20 stories—aro built with hardly any steel girders. Although the young nation's land has no diamond mine3, Israel lias become a world leader In diamond cutting and polishing. Israel has no timber, yet is a large producer nnd exporter of plywood, made of lumber imported from Africa. Ingenious With Water Water Is seriously short in most of Israel. So tlie Israelis have developed a number of ingenious ways to overcome that shortage. This country's agriculture Is based on Irrigation. Tho entire country is \crlss-crossed by a grid of underground pipelines.
The Jerusalem nrea gets all its water through pipes from the coastal plains. Plans for settling the Negev Desert area call for piping water into that arid region. . . ' .. Schemes to desalinate sea water are far advanced here. Brackish water is already being made usable for agriculture economically. Water is soon to be taken from tho Red Sea for both drinking and irrigation. Well over 80 per cent of Is-reel's consumer goods are home manufactured. Such things as record players, radios and refrigerators are even exported. Automobiles, trucks and buses aro assembled here, with many of their components manufactured here. Israel has to import its wool and leather, but tlie nation produces all its own clothing and footwear. In scientific research, Israeli scientists frequently come up with original discoveries that are sold abroad. Only Surplus: Tnlcnt I h o only natural resource that • Israel hag in abundance is its

iim; tun A MIKASUA,
French Guard A l q e r i a n Jev/s i/ Paris (JTA)—The French authorities in Algeria took precautions this week against a renewal of Arab-Jewish rioting in Algiers nnd Oran on tlie occasion of the Jewish observance of Yom Kippur. With passions still high, and the city tense after the two days of communal rioting that marred the observance of Rosh Ilashanah, and further rioting Sunday when one Jew was killed and a 15 yearold Jewish boy seriously wounded, the a u t h o r i t i e s took no chances that an incident micht set off a new outburst. Strong police reinforcements were moved into position in both cities, guarding the synagogues. In Oran, tlie police cut off the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter, from the rest of the city to prevent infiltration by Arab gangs seeking revenge for the beatings they received during the disturbances last week and Sunday.

supply of engineers, scientists, doctors and skilled technicians. In many of these fields, Israel has a surplus. ; So now Israel js exporting its technical know-how to many of the less-advanced nations that surround Israel in Asia and Africa. Some of this export is aimed at winning friends among Israel's unfriendly neighbors. Even Arab countries that are openly hostile to Israel are accepting the help of Israeli experts and technicians. In all, more than 700 Israeli* are woriting in 35 countries, helping them to modernize their industries, economies and even their armed forces. When Israel declared itself an independent nation in 1948, th» odds seemed high against its survival. , Now Israel is being watched by old as well as new nations around the world as evidence of what a determined people c a n do against great odds.
