The Israeli flag is now being
flown by the Waldorf Astoria,
where President Weizmann will
stay until his return to Israel on
May l. The 74-year-old chief of
state presided at a Seder service
held in the home of Meyer Weis-
gal, executive vice-president OF
the Weizmann Institute, where he
and members of his family were
the guests of honor.
Arriving Wednesday on his
first visit to the United States
since his election as President of
Israel, DR.. Weizmann paid tribute
to President Truman and to the
American people for their contri-
button to the establishment of the
Jewish state.
Declaring that Israel had
reached the threshold of peace
after great sacrifice, he empha-
sized that the most pressing
problem confronting Israel at
present was the mass immigra-
ton of hundreds of thousands of
Jews from the DIP camps and
other parts of the world. He es-
timated that 100000 Jews would
be brought to Israel within the
next five years.
Asserting that Israel alone can
not shoulder the financial burden
of caring for the newcomers, he
appealed to American Jews to
give the fullest support to the
United Jewish Appeal to make
the necessary funds available for
the reception and housing of i'm
migrants who are now arriving
at the rate of 10000 a month. He
offered every assistance to Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., general chair
man of the United Jewish APP
peal, which DR.. Weizmann de-
clared must command the
wholehearted and dedicated ser
vice of every Jew who is inter
ed in the future and well-being
of the Jewish state"
DR.. Weizmann was greeted at
the airport by Ambassador Ray
Anterior who welcomed him in
his capacity as personal repre-
sentative of President Truman
and the State Department; May
or William O'Dwyer; Henry
Morgenthau, Jr.; Eliahu Elath,
Ambassador of Israel to the
United States; Arthur Lourie,
Consul General of Israel in New
York; DR.. Nahum Goldman, act
ing chairman of the American
section of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, and Judge Morris
Rothenberg, a national chairman
of the U.J.A.
Included in DR. Weizmann's
party were Mrs Weizmann; their
son, Benjamin; the Presidents
Aide de Camp, Major David Ar
non; DR. Samuel Zondek, his per-
sonal physician; DR.. David Berg
mann, scientific director of the
Weizmann Institute in Rehovoth;
and other aides, including Yigal
Kimche, his personal secretary.

A census of all scientifically
,,a;ned personnel and scientific
spparatus available in Israel for
purposes of economic. social and
military planning will soon be
taken according to a decision OF
the public advisory committee for
scientific Investigations. which
met recently in Jerusalem under
the Craftsmanship of the Prime
Minister. Those present included
the ministers for public works
and industry. the Chief of Staff.
and representatives of the He
brew University. the Sieff 1nsti-
lutte, the Haifa technical college.
the agricultural research station
Of Rehovoth. the standards insti-
tute and the applied science de-
partment of the ministry of de-
tense.
The plans for the dispersal of
the population of Israel over the
entire country will require the
redistribution of land in various
areas - the planning department
of the ministry of public works
recently announced. This view
was supported by the American
complaining advisory, Mr.. Ana
tole Solov, who also revealed to
the public outlines of the plans
for the future development of
Israel.
1t is intended to subsidize new
industries capable of serving
foundations for the numerous
towns of 5O-6O,OOO inhabitants
which are to be built all over
the country, and to encourage
specialization so as to enable the
future inhabitants of such towns
to develop local initiative. Only
thus will it be possible to counter
act the trend of crowding into the
already densely populated dis
tricts of Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Blueprints for a net of communi-
cations, power stations, etc., will
be ready before building itself
starts on many sites, and build
ngs for public services, enter
Ealnment, catering enterprises and
the like will go up first every
where. 1t is also proposed to adj
Just internal freight, water and
power rates so as to enable pro-
Wncial industries to compete with
the products of the central areas
OF Israel. The development OF
EXISTING cities, such as Jerusalem,
Safed, Tiberias, Beersheba, etc,
is to precede the erection of new
ones.
An information office for in
duStrial investors who are inter-
eSted in conditions in Jerusalem
Will be opened soon by the pub
nc agencies engaged in the de-
Velopment of this city.
Water from various sources is
being made available for one
million dunams of Negev land
which were formerly considered
unit for cultivation and which
VIII eventually support 100000
people. The eastern limit of this
area is to be Kurnub. the south
ern. Asluj.
Meanwhile development work

By the Associated Press

uation of rigid marketing controls
on hurley tobacco for the next

Growers were asked three ques-
tions: Cd Do you favor quotas
for 1850, 1851 and 1852 crops;
CD Do you favor quotas for the
1850 crop only. and 90 Do you
oppose all quotas?
Approximately 81 per cent of
Virginia's eligible vote of about
$4,000 growers showed 7,040
wanted continuance of quotas for
three years. 1872 for one year. and
326 opposed to quotas. 1
Most of the hurley tobacco in
Virginia is produced In counties
in Southwest Virginia.
