Soviet Jewry Takes
To Secret Worship

NEW YORK, (JTA) = Soviet
Jews who wish to practice their
religion in strict conformance
with its rules and free from secret
police surveillance must do so
clandestinely, the American Jew
ish Committee declared in a. re-
port based on interviews with
people who have fled the U.S.S.R.
The accounts indicate that Ortho-
dox Jews carry on what is vir-
tually an underground religion
apart from the recognized Jewish
religious institutions.
The A. ]. C. report also states
that despite the legal Soviet ban
against anti-Semitism, the mater
ial available indicates that it is
still a strong force in the Soviet
population.

Peace Stalled
In nNegotiations
With The Arabs

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = ''The
crisis created by the birth of Is
rael is not over," Foreign Minister
Moshe Sharett declared in Parlia-
ment during a report on Israeps
current foreign policy.
The principal question still to
be settled in relation to Israels
foreign policy is that of peace
with its Arab neighbors, the For
eign Minister said, but added that
there has been no progress on
the issue. He warned the Arab
states that Israel is prepared ITO
clasp every hand stretched out to
it, but will vigorously fight at
tempts at revenge"
In an evaluation of the accom-
plishments of the U. N. Concilia-
ton Commission for Palestine,
he said that its purpose had been
"balked by the fact that the U.N.
had not imposed clear obligations
on the parties concerned to enter
into direct negotiations" T h e
Arabs have fought bitterly against
direct negotiations and therefore
it would have been a miracle"
if the Commissions efforts had
succeeded, pointing out that "the
fate of peace is at the discretion
of rulers of the neighboring states.

US To Give Israel
Technical Aid

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = The
United States Government has
agreed to extend technical aid to
Israel under the Point Four Pro-
gram of President Truman. The
Minister made it clear that this
assistance does not put the Jew
ish state under any political obli-
cations to the United States.
Mr.. Sharett indicated that a
year ago Israel also requested
technical aid from the Soviet
Union, but so far no reply has
been received from Moscow. Spe-
cifcally, Israel wanted Soviet
forestry experts to be sent to Is
rael to act as advisers on affor-
estation.
From the United States, Mr..
Sharett said, the Jewish state will
request experts in public health,
road construction, railways, irri-
CATION and agriculture. Israel
will, under the Point Four" pro-
gram, send to the United States
some of its citizens for training in
ship repair, deep sea fishing, rail-
way operation.

Mizrachi.
Touching briefly on the role OF
Jewish religion in Israel, the Or
thodox member of the Israel Cab
net said that he is firmly con-
vinced that it is entirely posi-
BILE to conduct a modern state In
full accordance with Jewish law"
The emergence of new inventions,
the Minister declared, necessitates
the establishment of an authora-
tative body, similar to the ancient
Sanhedrin-the Jewish Supreme
Court of Law-whose responsible
ity it would be. to study jewish
law in the light of modern needs.
Such a body should be composed
of rabbis living in Israel, he said.
Asserting that more than 65
percent of the Jewish population
in Israel is religious, Rabbi Mai
mon pointed out that Tel Aviv
has 40 synagogues (which are
filed on the Sabbath" mo one
in Israel thinks of forcing religl-
Gus beliefs or practices upon any
individual; on the contrary, we
want to make sure that no one
will force the religious elements
to violate their principles and way
of life" the Minister stated.

Record appropriations of $19,- 544,136 were passed by Alaska's 20th legislature when it finally passed out last Friday at 5 a. m. after a fighting session.

 Only major new revenue meas ures passed at this session were boost of 50 per cent in the sal mon pack tax, and from 3 to 5 cents a pack cigarette tax. Attem- pts to rush new tax bill through in closing hours was beaten.
 In a last minute jam, both houses agreed on a general ap- propriations bill of $17,973, ,654. This amount includes a compro- mise agreement on Civilian De- fense of $400,000, and 8 per cent increase in salaries for teachers and territorial employees earning less that $5,O0O a year.
 Of the $400, 900 defense appro- priation, $15O,O0O is for admins tration and civilian training and $25O,OOO for matching federal grants.
 Other actions raised aid to de- pendent children from $50 to $60 monthly; granted $2,241,655 to the University of Alaska, an in- crease of $85,925 over 1949; ap- proved $2,896,OOO for public vel fare, an increase of nearly $700,- 900; fixed license fees for rowing dogs; approved memorial ask ing the territory to relieve Nome 1of payment of $2,500 annually to the federal government for har- bor maintenance; and buried the 40-hour week bill which was deadlocked over a dispute on ex- emptions.

Gunnard M. Engebreth, Anchorage (R), Rep. Glen Frank lin, Boundry, D), and William Egan, Valdez (R).
