Refugee journalists have had
a hard time of it-despite
some material support, first
from the United Nations Re

Agency.
An initial problem was TO
find type and typesetters for
newspapers printed in Esto-
Man, Armenian, Kalmook, Rus
sian, Slovenian, Hebrew, Hun
garian and many other langu-
ages. Stocks Of newsprint were
uncertain and expensive, un-

luntary aid agencies contrib

In the circulation heyday,
editors published regular news
papers and new magazines, as
well as religious magazines,
women's publications. In adj
dition, the publishers were us
ually responsible for issuing
textbooks written by DPS to
be used in schools run by DPS.
Early in l947, the editors
banded together to pool their
problems in an Association of
Authorized DIP Publishers. La
ter, with the help of the Asso-

refugee editors would well
come the chance to quiz IRO

AMERICAN CAPITALISTS
INVESTED $25.000.000
IN ISRAEL LAST YEAR

NEW YORK (JTA)-Exclusive
of military expenditures, "a total
of $24O, 300, 000-an amount equal
to 40 percent of the country's ma
tional income-waS invested in
capital goods in Israel last year,
the Economic Department of the
Jewish Agency reported this
week.
"Israels spending on capital de-
velopment in 1949 is one of the
largest in relation to national in
come of any country in the
world" the report said. aside
from public works projects, pri-
vate capital dominated the capital
investment field during the year.
More than so percent of the CAPT.
tai invested in projects other than
public works came from private
sources. Little more than half of
the private capital invested orig
mated in Israel. United States
private capital dominated the for
eign field in Israel by accounting
for about SOS, 900 worth of in
vestments during the year"

QUESTION: Why do some PEG.
pie refrain from moving into new
quarters or from starting out on
a new venture on Mondays or
Wednesdays?
ANSWER: Various sources of
Rabbinic literature speak of this
strange custom. (e.g, The Zohar,
Shulchan Earuch, Yoreh Deah,
etc. There are also some reports
of this custom in the Talmud.
The reasons for considering these
two days as ''unlucky' is said to
go back to the Creation.
The second day of the Creation,
which was Monday, introduced a
breach where there had been
nothing but unity before that.
This was done by separating the
lower-waters from the higher
waters. Also, it is reported that
HELP was created on that day.
Therefore we find no statement
in the Bible saying that ed saw
that it was good" as is said of the
other days. Consequently, Mon
day is considered an unfortunate
day.
Wednesday, the fourth day of
the Creation, saw the greedy atti-
tude that the moon displayed
when it had to share the heavens
with the sun. This was perhaps
the first example of greediness.
The moon was dimmed as pun
ishment and thus the first punish
ment occurred. This may be the
reason for considering Wednesday
an unlucky day.

UNITED STATES AND
BRITAIN EXCHANGE
VIEWS ON SELLING
ARMS TO ISRAEL.

LONDON (JTA)-Authoritative
sources here this week stated that
an exchange of views has taken
place between Britain and the
United States on arms deliveries
to Israel, but that no formal re-
quest for arms has been received
by Britain from the Israel Gov
eminent.
The Foreign Office here said
that the Israel Legation in Lon
don made an informal approach
to the government regarding
arms, but that no reply has so far
been given Unofficially, author
itative British sources expressed
the view that no reply to any in
formal approach on the part of
Israel is to be expected.

QUESTION: What is the sig
nificance Of the Wailing Wall?
ANSWER: The Wailing Wall is
the only remnant left of the Sec
ond Temple in Jerusalem. Tech

the Temple. There are authorities
in Rabbinic literature that claim
that the "Shechinah" (presence of
G-d) never left this wall. There
is a beautiful account in the Tai
mudic literature of how the birds,
by their valiant efforts, saved it
from destruction. For centuries
Jews have prayed there. Today

U. S. Sends Arms.
To IsroeI; Tanks
Already Delivered

WASHINGTON (JTA)-Sources
close to the State Department this
week revealed that Israel has
been receiving American weapons
since the United Nations lifted the
Middle East embargo last August.
American tanks have already
been delivered at Haifa, they said.
This information was disclosed
in connection with a reported ap-
peal by the Israel Government to
the United States and Britain to
supply arms and military equip
ment to the Jewish state in view
of the shipment Of arms by Brit
ain to the Arab countries.
Israel Ambassador Eliahu Elath
this week conferred for rs minutes
with Assistant Secretary of State
for Near Eastern Affairs Ray
mond Hare. He said later that
they discussed how the news that
Israel requested arms from the
United States leaked" to the
press. He declined to make any
further statements on the report
ed plea, declaring that he would
have to wait for instructions from
Tel Aviv.
usrael sources in Tel Aviv this
week pointed out that Gin view
of the continued rearmament of
the Arab states and the continual
ton of arms supplies to them,
there should be little astonish-
ment if Israel applies wherever it
can to obtain arms needed for de-
fenSe."O
A spokesman for the State De-
partment this week said that
more American arms have been
supplied to Israel than to any
Arab state since the lifting of the
arms embargo on the Near East.
He added that State Department
officials are now drafting a reply
to Israels request for additional
American munitions.
Diplomatic circles here express
ed the belief that Israel is seeking
permission to buy U. S. jet
propelled military aircraft, light
naval vessels and other items to.

most modern types of weapons to
Egypt and other Arab states.

rector-general of the Israel Fin

Keeping Without Sowing

The government is one of the
biggest gamers from industrial
profits.
U. S. News and World Report
has surveyed 80 large corporations
whose l949 profits before taxes
totaled about $4,73O, 100000. The
Federal government will tax
these businesses $l,743, 100000.
Then it will tax the owners of the
corporations 5000, 100000 on the
dividends they receive. Thus gov
ernments take will be well over
$2,OOO,O00,000 - 43 per cent of all
the dollar earnings.
This does not take into account
payroll taxes, excise taxes, or
state and local taxes which will
also cut into the corporations pro-
fits.
