UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(JTA)-
Figures can tell some fascinating tales.
True, they can also lie. But one way of
determining the truth of falSity of fig
ures is by tracing them to their source.
Right now, there are many statistics
available in regard to Israel and to the
Arab world. The source is indisputable.
They come straight from the latest issue
of the annual Statistical Yearbook com
piled and published by the United Ma
tions. The Yearbook-a 618-page volume
packed with data, tables, appendices and
thousands of footnoteS-doeS not make
comparisons. But this correspondent
with deliberate intent-did compare Is
rael with it's most vociferouS enemy, the
United Arab Republic Here are some of
the results:
EDUCATION: In the entire United
Arab Republic, including both Egypt and
Syria-there are 12,102 schools, ranging
in program from pre-school education to
colleges, universities and specialized i.e
technical, schools. Simple arithmetical
computation, based on the total popula
ton of Egypt and Syria Gas shown in the
Yearbook shows that the UAR has one
school per population of 1918 including
men, women and children of all ages.
Israel is credited in the Yearbook with
a total of 3,496 schools of all types
from pre-school to college and technical
education. Using the same procedure, we
find that Israel has one school per popula-
ton of 571 of both sexes and all ages.
Roughly, then, about four times as many
Israelis are provided with educational OPP
portunities as are the residents of the
UAR.
Egypt alone, with ten times Israers

population, has only 915,827 female stu
dents of all ages. Israel has 2O7796 female
students. The difference in educational
opportunities for girls and women is OBJ
ViouS.
NEWSPAPERS: The UAR has increas-
ed its consumption of newsprint (the type
of paper used for newspaper publications. .
Egypt now consumes $4,000 tons of
newsprint annually (Syria, perhaps be-
cause the figure would be very low, did
not report on this item. Egypt has an
average newspaper circulation of 25 per
1000 inhabitants.
Israel consumes 361 900 tons of news
print. IsraePs average newspaper circula
ton per 1000 population is 1919.
BOOKS: Here, again, Syria did not give
figures. But Egypt claimed that it had
published 1881 books in the year report
ed to the UN. During the same period,
Israel published 1,183 books.
INFANT MORTALITY: One of the So
cial statisticians's chief guidelines, in at
tempting to judge a country'S status in
regard to health care, is the infant NOR
tality rate Once more, Syria isn't talking.
Egypt, in this instance, is also tightlip-
ped. In the infant mortality rate tables,
neither of the UAR regions has provided
any data. But IsraePs infant mortality
rate is shown going down steadily, year
by year, since the rebirth of the State
in 1913.
In 1948 out of every 1000 live births
in Israel (among the Jewish population),
1868 children died before they reached the
age of l year. BY 1858 (the latest reported
in the Yearbook that rate had fallen to
exactly 31.0. 1t is the lowest infant mortal
ity rate in all of Asia, by far the lowest in
the entire Mediterranean area of Africa.

The Story Behind UJA Switch

proposed directive regarding American
control of expenditures of funds on over
seas projects.
The directive provided that for any
given organization to qualify for tax
exempt status under the us. tax laws,
Americans would have to exercise control
over the expenditure of the organizations
funds on the overseas projects. The pro-
posed directive presented no problem to
the UJA insofar as the operation of the
Joint Distribution Committee - which is
one of the major partners in the UJA-
were concerned.
However, it did have bearing on the
UJA concerning the funds turned over to
the United Israel Appeal = the second
major partner in the UJA - for trans
mission to the Jewish Agency. This is be-
cause control over the expenditures of
JDC funds abroad rests exclusively with
Americans, while no such American con-
troll is exercised over the funds spent by
the Jewish Agency in Israel. Three al
ternatives were considered for establish
ing such a control system: controls by
the UJA, or by the UIA, or by the Jewish
Agency for Israel in New York.
The first of these alternatives was
ruled out on the ground that the UJA
is a Embarrassing organization and should
not assume functional role with respect
to the activities of one of it's constituent
agencies. The second alternative was dis
carded because the UIA, being a skeleton
apparatus which would have been pro-
hibitively costly. The third alternative
the reorganization of the Jewish Agency
into body providing the requisite con-
trol-was therefore the logical choice

FALSE ASSUMPTIONS: There are
some who try to link the reorganization
of the Jewish Agency with an alleged
"ultimatum" given by the us. Treasury
Department to the United Jewish Appeal
with regard to the Agency's subventions
to constructive enterprises of the political
parties in Israel.
This is entirely without foundation.
am in a position to state that in the dis
cussions between the Treasury Depart
ment and the UJA, these subventionS were
not even once mentioned. Nor, for that
matter, did the Treasury Department as
much as suggest that in its view UJA
funds had been diverted to non-philan-
thropic purposes.
Any and all reports and rumors that
the tax-exempt status of the UJA was IN
jeopardy are completely untrue. Similarly
untrue are the reports that the Treasury
Department gave the UJA the ultlmatum
to discontinue the subsidies to the con-
structive enterprises of the political
groups in Israel These subsidies have
never been granted by the UJA, but have
been given by the Jewish Agency in sup
port of the welfare programs of the polltl-
cal parties. Essentially they have been in
lieu of the aid the Jewish Agency would
have to provide for the new immigrants.
The Inside Story: And speaking of the
talks between the Treasury Department
and the United Jewish Appeal, the full
story of these talks can now be told.
About year ago the Treasury Depart
ment issued invitations to representatives
of the UJA and of other major American
organizations Jewish and non-Jewish-
engaged in overseas relief to discuss a

Israeli Army
Blends With
Archaeology

nance between archaeology
and the Army began during
the first days of IsraePS in
dependence, and the mutual
relationship is still going
strong and very fruitfully.
Twelve years ago, as today,
the personification of this CO.
operation was Yigael Yadin,
then Brigadier Yadin-today
Professor Yadin.
This spring, soldiers and
arch a eologis is Joined
forces under Yadin's COM
mand in the largest archae-
illogical expedition ever or
ganized in this part of the
world.
Ever since the Qumran
finds, the nomadic Bedouin
have become eXtrem ell y
aware of the value of ancient
scrolls that can be found in
the innumerable caves of the
Judean wilderness. The maj
or part of this wilderness is
now in Jordan territory.
From time to time new
scrolls-and often bits of
scrolls cut up by the Bed
ouin themselves-appear on
the markets of Beirut, Am
man and other Arab cities.
The Bedouin claim that they
find them in Jordan terri
tory. But these is a strong
suspicion in Jerusalem that
at least part of them origin
ate in Israel territory from
where they are stolen by
Bedouin.
This suspicion led to the
decision to begin a thorough
search of all the caves on
the Israel side of the Judean
wilderness, which served as
hiding place for Judeans who
fled the Roman invaders as
well for various meSSianic
SectS, from one of which, ap-
parently, also sprang Chris
tianity. One hundred twenty
professors and students of
archaeology and amateur ar
chaeologists were organized
into an expedition which -
with military methods -
made an overall search of the
area involved.
They were fully aided by
the Israel Army. Not only did
the Army provide tranSpor-
tation, communication, pro-
lection and supplies; it also
augmented the search parties
by groups of scouts, and pro-
vided military equipment for
the search. Air Force helicop-
ters made air reconnaissance
and air photography flights,
Navy personel knotted spe-
cial rope ladders and rope
hoists and links to enable ap-
proach to the otherwise in
accessible cave entrances
high up on the face of the
cliffs.
An entirely novel use was
found for Army mine detec-
tors; they were used to To-
cate buried metal objects.
Engineer Corps pneumatic
drills were used to penetrate
rocks that have, during the
two millenia, obstructed the
hidden passages.
Considered by the number
of scrolls found, the expedi-
ton was not too successful,
only one major scroll frag-
ment and one major bundle
of parchmentS were found.
However, after eleven days
of fruitlesS search, major ar
Genealogical treasures were
discovered; numerous Roman
Sacrificial vessels, apparent
ly captured by sorties of the
Jewish fighters
holding out in the caves, as
well as numerous articles
belonged to the refu-
gees of two thousand wears
