business became a constant chal-
lenge to the ingenuity of the
planners. An example is the at
tempt to capture the early melon
and grape market in England
and Europe. With fruits that ma
ture in early June, when this
market has no other source OF
supply, this means a high paying
cash crop. This takes help from
God and the weather.
In planning the settlement of
new immigrants, other things
must be considered as well. Not
the least important of these is
defense of the vital border areas.
And the vast Negev is consum-
ing untold time and effort on the
part of all officials with the aim
of getting an all-too-often reluct-
ant immigration to build up this
area.
My special interest was how

eers' deep religious faith. From
these humble beginnings, Korrick
rose to become one of the city's
top business men and a leading
supporter of many humanitarian
causes.
Pointing out the parallel between
Korrick and the thousands of inn
migrants arriving in Israel today,
Rosenzweig declared:
"The Jewish community of Phoe-
nix can feel strong sense of kim

today is being re-enacted the same
epic saga of pioneering vision and
self-sacrifice for the ideal of free

Gov. Paul Fannin joined civic
leaders of Phoenix in calling for
broad participation in the tribute
to Korrick, asserting:
II want to take this opportunity
to commend the people of Phoenix
for their decision to tender this
testimonial dinner to my very dear
friend, Charles Korrick. l can think
of no one more deserving of this

Citing the example of such self

won high place not only in their
chosen fields but-even more inn
portant-in the esteem of their fell
low men," the governor declared:

cessful settlements are those
where a group of immigrants
from one country-even from one
city or village-are settled to-
gether. They make far better
progress in every way.
ONE SUCH MOSHAVA which
I visited is Slayer Efrayim,
Jordan border settlement in CEN
tral Israel. In 1854, 80 Yemenite
families were taken from a Ma
bara (tranSient camp. Now, five
years later, the village is pro-
ducing an excellent return OF veg

ing great strides under the lead
ership of their rabbi, Shmuel,
who also is chairman of their
village.
A visit in his home was most
rewarding. AS with all Yemen
ties, he is Orthodox, and though
his wife held a minor place in
the course of our interview, my
guess is she was as important to
the success of the village as he.

Child ParIey
Changed

Plans to hold a community
wide conference on aiding the
Districts dependent children
apparently are being dropped
in favor Of establishing citizens
committees for this work.
The tentative change In
plans was announced yesterday
by Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin after he and Com
missioner David B. Karrick met
with interested civic workers
and officials.
Last month, in a report on
dependency, the District Health
and Welfare Councils Junior
Village Committee urged the
Commissioners to back a COM
munity-wide effort to improve
the lot of the city's poor fam
lilies. The Commissioners later
decided to call a conference of
community leaders to discuss
the problem.
After yesterdays meeting,
however, Mr.. Mclaughlin said
the thought now is to select
some citizens for committee
work to help carry out the
Junior Village Committees
recommendations.
Those present at yesterdays
conference included Mrs. Philip
L. Graham, co-chairman of
the Junior Village Committee;
Gerard M. Shea, head of the
Welfare Department, and rep
resentatives of the Commits
sioners' Youth Council, the

ton, the Commissioners HUI

JDC Assisted Over
100000 Needy

NEW YORK (JTA)-More than 100000 men, women
and children assistance of kind another from
the Joint Distribution Committee during last year. according
the 1858 annual report issued by the JDC OF this group
more than 100000 in Mosem countries principally

North Africa and Iran. AS
sistees also included some
$1,000 in Europe, 100000 in Is
rael, and more than 1000 in
such other areas as Australia.
perhaps the most notable
development of 1859 was the
assistance which JDC had
undertaken to provide to
Jews in Poland" the report
states. "Since December 1857,
when JDC resumed its activi-
ties in Poland, JDC aid has
reached some $4,000 individ-
uals."
Turning to the Moslem
world, the summary Indicates
The Arizona post., 1959-10-02


tinued for the vast majority
of Jews living in the Moslem
world, a sense of insecurity
continued to prevail for men,
women and children living
under the shadow of Arab
nationalism. quite naturally,
this feeling was at its strong
est in Egypt. But it was per-
ceptible even in T Tuni sia a
where there is no discrimina-
ton against Jews or ethnic
minorities," the report stated.
Despite all difficulties,
JDC's program in Moslem
countries reached more needy
Jews than in any other area
of the World-in 1858 more
than 100000 men, women and
children in these areas re-
ceived JDC assistance" Mos
es A. Leavitt, executive vice
chairman, stressed. Morocco
had the largest number re-
quiring aid - some $1,000.
There were 16,6OO benefici-
aries in Tunisia; 1000 in AL
geria, and some 18,900 in
Iran. Because Iran has re-
manned unaffected by the con-
flicts in the Middle East, the
JDC has been able to con-
tinue its program on behalf
of the Iranian Jewish popula-
ton with no hindrance, he
pointed out.
Mr.. Leavitt declared that
despite a decrease in the num-
Der of refugees during the
/ year, "JDC's caseload was
even larger at the end of 1858
than it had been at the be-
ginning of the year" The
expenditures of the JDC
totalled $27, ,703,400 for it's
operations in Israel, Moslem
countries and Europe.
Despite some notable ad-
vances during the year." Mr..
Leavitt declared, "the outlook
at years end was that in 1859
even greater numbers of
men, women and children
would require JDCs aid than
in the year that was ending"
For 1859 JDC has adopted a
budget of $29,593,OOO for aid
to more than 250,000 needy
Jews overseas. The financial
mainstay of JDC's overseas
rehabilitation and reconStruc-
ton programs, the report
notes, continues to be funds ,
provided through the nation
wide campaign of the United
Jewish Appeal.
Summarizing his report,
Mr.. Leavitt reported that
"even when there is prosper
ity, there are many who are
hungry and need to be fed;
and even when the very
echoes of World War II faded
into the past and all the
world has recovered, there
are men and women still
wounded and sick and in need
of our aid"
Among the more than 2OO,-
900 needy Jews in all parts
of the world who received
aid during 1858, the largest
number - $4,000 - benefited
from feeding programs, Mr..
Leavitt indicated. JDC aid
also included: cash relief for
$1,000; medical care for 3D.
900; educational assistance
for $4,000; cultural and rellg-
ious assistance for 35,9S5;
1865 in homes for the aged;
and $685. young people and
children receiving other kinds
of aid.
