EquoI Treatment
Children are taught in the
schools In Hebrew and not until
they reach the high school period
are other languages taught es-
pecially English. These children
are treated in the schools as in
dividuals, not as interiors, and
this is one Of the lines of edu-
cation which both Mrs. Idelson
and Miss Zabari have tried to
develop in the families of the
refugees. There are some from
the Eastern countries where the
man Of the family comes first,
then the sons, according to their
ages, then the daughters and
last the wife and mother. The
women ana Cner organizations
are trying to educate them all
to an equal level, to make each
feel himself as an individual as
well as each Of the members of
his family and associates.

Another ambassador is in
the making. Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State for Far
Eastern Affairs U. Alexis
johnson will become our next
Ambassador to Czechoslovakia
according to reliable sources.
Having spent practically all
of his 18 years in the foreign
service working in the Orient
or here on Oriental affairs,
Alexis will now be sent behind
the Iron Curtain-which prob
ably makes a lot more sense
than apparent at the first cur
sorry glance. Until recently he
was slated for the top post
in Thailand, but that has been
changed now in favor of the
Soviet dominated country.
Veteran Ambassador George
Wadsworth, who is now head
of our embassy in Prague, is
slated, 'tis said, for Jidda in
Saudi Arabia. That will put
him back in area and among
peoples that he knows like the
palm Of his hand.
