which the Jewish Welfare Board is seeking to achieve
There good why the Jewish percentage of
chapans was smaller than the nonJewish Firstly there
was shortage of American-trained rabbis Secondly
Jewish service scattered in small groups
large areas And-now it can be told-some military
mand refused to have Jewish chapans Nevertheless be-
fore the World War less than 81 rabbs had
served in the chaplancy is estimated that at that time
more than 100000 Jews serving the armed forces
The average strength of the armed forces during the period
1885 will be about 4OOO00 according the JWB estimate

achieving its goal of chaplain for each 1000 Jews in

proportion to their civilian numbers in the civilian popua
ton, JewiSh-as we'll attend

Israel Echoes

The recent moves by the Israel
Treasury designed to discourage
the spending of hard currency
abroad have resulted in a de-
crease in the number of Israel
students in the United States =. g.
Typical is the case of the Uni
versity of California, in Los An
geles, which last year. had 81 Is
raeli students, now has only three
enrolled for the new academic
year The Israel Treasury al
lows $500 monthly for living ex-
penSeS, plus an ALLEGATION for
tuition fees This sum is in
sufficient in the large towns and
cities, although it is ample in the
rural districts Israel students
however, concentrate in the large
cities and the more expensive
colleges Of the 1900 Israel
students who are still in the Uni
ted States, more than 300 depend
on partial or full support from
Israel The remainder make
ends meet by working during the
summer recess or evenings E.
Many of them receive scholar
ships, fellowships or teaching jobs
in the colleges where they study
The McCarran immigration
Act is favorable to foreign STU
dents, permitting them to work
for a maximum of Is months after
completing their studies :. Thus,
about 100 Israeli graduates and
undergraduates who were expect
ed to return to Israel this year.
have decided to stay in the U. S.
and profit by the opportunity Of
gaining practical experience in
their professions The Israel
Government is interested in hav-
ing its students take advantage Of
the relaxation in the granting Of
work permits for foreign students
which had previously been diff
cult to obtain AS a result, the
Israeli consulates in the U. S. help
students find employment .. The
American Friends of the Hebrew
University and of the Haifa Tech
Mon are similarly aiding students
in this way =.

Invisible Writing

Arthur Koestler, the noted
novelist who drifted into Com
munism only to be disappointed
with the Soviet regime, is now
telling his life story in "The In
visible Writing" the second book
of his two-volume autobiography
+. . The largest section of this
book, published by Macmillan, is
devoted to experiences which the
author had in the Communist
underground in Germany and as
tool of the Comintern in Soviet
Russia and later in France q.
However, Mr.. Koestler also deals
with some of his experiences in
Palestine where he spent three
years as young man working in
Jewish collective settlement -. :.
It is after becoming "disillusioned
with the limited horizon of Zion
list settlers" that he left Palestine
for Berlin and became Commu-
mist Eight years later, on his
way out of the Communist Party,
he returned to Palestine, just
when the strife between the
Jews and the Arabs was at its
height +. He then published
articles in the London press urg-
ing the British Government to
partition Palestine into Jewish
and Arab state -.
