COMMUNITY AFFAIRS

OF the numerous groups raising
funds in the United States for ac-
tivities in Israel, aside from the
United Jewish Appeal, only IL
organizations have authorization
from the Jewish Agency j.. The
other Embarrassing campaigns are
not considered desirable and are
therefore not authorized by the
Jewish Agency But even
among the IL agencies that are
permitted to conduct their drives,
some exceed the desirable maxi
mum" of Is percent of total ex-
penditures The Council of
Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds, which reviews the finan-
cial data submitted by these agen-
cies, has drawn the attention of
the Jewish Agency to this fact .
The Jewish Agency will discuss
this matter with representatives
of the agencies concerned and will
urge them to reduce their fund
raising and administrative ex-
penses wherever the Is percent
figure is exceeded The Jewish
Agency will also explore ways of
reporting regularly on the activi-
ties of Yeshivot and other Israeli
religious institutions receiving
funds from the United States :.
Several interested bodies, includ-
ing the Joint Distribution Com
mittee, the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds,
and the Israel Consulate in New
York, have indicated their will
ingness to cooperate j.. A Jewish
Agency Committee on Control
and Authorization of Campaigns
for Israel in this country has been
in existence for six years 49,.

Decorate With
Paper Rolls
By JEWELL CASEY

IF YOU WANT to make something
pretty out of nothing you can roll up
pieces of c0lored pictures cut from
pretty advertisements and make them
into trim for bags. lamp shades, letter
boxes for the desk, not to mention bead
necklacesl
Materials for this interesting work
are colored pictures from slick maya
zines or seed catalogs; glue or house
hold cement, pasteboard boxes for
foundations, and knitting needle.
Round Oat boxes, or cottage cheese
cartons are suitable for bag founda-
tons. To make bag, take a large
size oatmeal box and cut to a depth
of four inches. Now cut a pattern for a
triangle with four-inch base and five
inches high from pasteboard or heavy
paper and cut out triangles from your
cOlored pictures. ut will require almost
100 rolls made from cut-0ut triangIes
to cover large oat box.) Lay the
paper triangle with picture side down
on smooth surface and apply glue to it.
Lay the knitting needle across the base.
roll the paper toward the point of tri-
angle. Before reaching the point, apply
more glue so that it will be securely
fastened, slip off the needle and let
the roll dry, continue until all are made.
Use plenty of glue to fasten the rolls
to box, and rubber band to hold them
in place as they dry. Place rolls, side
by side, in vertical position around
the glue-covered surface of cardboard
foundations, until you meet the first
rolls. When completely dry, coating
of shellac gives added strength and |
produces a glossy finish.
For top, take straight piece OF |
material 6 or inches wide, and long
enough to reach around foundation. Get
Mother to show you how to make a
top, then sew the top to the
Op of the foundation. A narrow strip
" the same material should be used
o cover bottom of bag by sewing it
around the foundation to hide ends
# the paper tubes.
You can make the letter holder in
anne way, except leave off the cloth
OPP. Finish both top and bottom of the
etter holder with bias tape, or rick
ack braid, which can be glued in
lace.
Lampshade may also be finished with
ape or braid.

Byrd to Support
Proposal to Kill
Tax Credit Act

RICHMOND. Va, July 26 (P).
State Senator Harry F. Byrd,
jr., who fought a bitter fight for
his automatic tax credit act in
the 1854 General Assembly, to-
day pledged his support to q
proposal that would scrap it.
Mr.. Byrd said he would "co-
ioperate fully with the reported
plan of the Capital Outlay Study
Commission which contemplates
advancing income tax collection
time-rdther than a retail sales
tax-as a means of getting
started on a $102 million Six
year State building plan.
The plan also would call for
repeal of the Byrd Act which
in past years has allowed in
come tax credits of as much as
20 per cent when general fund
revenues topped budget esti-
mates py certain amounts.
Mr.. Byrd said he felt his act
served a good purpose"
"If Sne commission recon-.
mends advancing the date of
the tax payments hen I should
guess th;s would require elimi-
nation Of the contingent tax re-
Iduction act as it now stands.
Any logical plan to obtain $45
million in revenues without an
increase in tax rates shall have
my support"
