Eight thousand Rumanian Jews left the coun-
try last month and the number is expected to reach
10000 in February, reports the New York Times.
The Times says "The exodus from communist
Rumania may according to some speculation, be
the forerunner of an eventual mass movement out
of Eastern Europe"
The mass exodus was kept secret for almost
month because Jewish leaders felt that publicity
might cause Rumana to drop its emigration bars
again.
The exodus has created widespread concern
among world Jewish communities. In the United
States emergency meetings called to push spe-

House Unit Considers
Shifts in School Aid Bill

ling bills provision for Federal
aid to States for teachers
salaries. The assistance would
be solely for school con-
struction.
Another important revision,
[reportedly received more SYM
pathetically by the administra-
ton, would keep the ,present
bills pattern of Federal grants.
Under certain circumstances
and for limited periods, how
over, communities and States
would be required to match
the grants. Still other proposed
changes would ease the adj
ministration's previously stipu-
lated requirements for assist
ance.
The problem confronting the
subcommittee is pointed UP by
a comparison of present diverse
bills and official positions.
Optimism also Is discouraged
by the fate Of all bills Of this
kind during the last three or
four years.
The bill reported out by the
House Education and Labor
Committee last June called for
about $1.1 billion annually for
four years in direct Federal
grants to States for school con-
struction and teachers salaries.
Distribution would be on the
basis of school age population.
When Congress a djourne d
September Is this bill was
stalled in the Rules Committee
by an 8-4 vote against con-
sidering it for clearance. It
is given little hope of being
cleared at the 1860 session.

sponsors have announced they

passage early next year but
are doubtful about House con-
currence.

ton early this year recon-
'mended no school construction
