ASSEMBLY CLOSES
Zionists Call Jews To Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The 25th Worid Zionist Congress, which was scheduled to adjourn last Monday night, adopted a resolution, declaring that "immigration to Israel shall form the principal point of Zionist life in  the Jewish communities all over the world."
In the resolution, the Congress appeals "to the Jewish people, wherever they may be, to come to IsraeJ by the thousands, so as to live a full Jewish life, help build the Country, tmd reconstruct their own   lives."
THE CONGRESS noted two "encouraging" factors ta regard to recent Immigration, One related to the beginning of the emigration of Hassldlm from the United States. The other took note of the recent Influx of Jewish pbysl- eitins from Argenttaa who have volunteered to settle in border villages.
The resolution requested that a jotat study be set up by the Israel Government and the Jewish Agency executive to bring to Is¬ rael "tiU Jews desiring" to emi¬ grate to the JeAVish State, and 'to avoid recurrence of instances when rescue came too late."
ONE OF THE "urgent" goals pinpointed ta the resolutions calls for immediate aid to the emigra¬
tion ot North Africa Jewry, the Agency executive being instructed to "take the most energetic ac¬ tion" to Implement this emigra¬ tion.
Special areas regarded by the resolution as needing Increased emigration to larael are "smaU Jewish communities, where there is danger of spiritual c|egenera- tion;" bringtag to Isrtiel of North African Jews now residing ta France; and bringing to thla country of "the remnants of Jews in Ck>chln China,"
THE OONORES8 expressed "anxlbty" over the relatively smaU numl>er of recent immigrants who are acheduled to undertake pio- neertag activities ta Israel. It recommended that a special framework  for  Immigrants   and
for prospective Immigrants be es¬ tablished ta countries outside Is¬ rael.
To help speed Jewish Immigra¬ tion to Israel and facilitate the absorption ot the Immlgrtmts, the C3ongress proposed these steps: Transfer of capittil and property to Israel, the conatruotlon ot apartments along standards suit¬ able for the immigrtuits, the erec¬ tion of new liousing for rental wherever such housing is required, the grant ot adequate mortgages for the purchase of apartments, constructive loans to professionals and artisans that would allow these to establish themselves in Israel, and the establishment ot a fund to guarantee mortgages.
THE OQNORESS was dead¬ locked on the question ot the composition of a new Jewish Agency executive. Dr. Ntihum Ooldmann submitted to the Standtag Committee ot the Ckm- gress, tentative proposails as to the executive's composition. How¬ ever, the proposals were not tic-

SIX SUB-COMMITTEES ot the
allocations committee reviewed the estimated nebds of the agen¬ cies ta their aretis. The areas are: Capital Needs, CJommimity Rela¬ tions, Education and Culture, Health tind Welfare, Overseas and Transportation. The sub-commit¬ tees submitted their estimates to the aUocations committee which reviewed the total requirements and In turn submitted its recom¬ mendations to the board of trus¬ tees. All members Of the board of trustees served on the budget committees, as well as many non- board memljcra.
In studying the needs It was pointed out that the overseas re¬ quirements are still of tm over¬ whelming nature. For the United Jewish Appeal the national goal Is $72,740,000 or 15 percent more than the yetir before. These funds are needed to support the pro¬ grams of the Jewish Agency, Joint Distribution CJommittee, United HIAS Service and the New York Association for New Ameri¬ cana.
THESE FUNDS will make It possll>le to continue the trans¬ portation and abaorption of more than 30,000 new refugees coming into Israel tind to complete the absorption of the more than 300,- 000 Jews who came to Israel in previous years.
The Jewish Agency is duty bound to help remove the last Ves¬ tiges of the maai>orot and slum housing In Isrtiel and replace them with decent housing for im¬ migrants. The UJA must also re¬ build the farm settlements estab¬ lished for the newcomers in Is¬ rael. To discontinue such support for these farm settlements can only lead to disintegration of morale with subsequent disast¬ rous effects upon the settlers and add to the economic burden of the State of Israel.
OF THE UJA'S Jotat Distri¬ bution CJommittee program ot $28,776,800 to enable it to provide indispenslble services to the sick, the aged and the handicapped Immigrants In Israel; food, medl- ctil care and education to tens of thousands of chUdren In Mos¬ lem lands; assistance to the Jew¬ ish communities in Central Eur¬ ope and In many of the North African countries, American Jew¬ ry muat contribute $17,200,000. In addition, the UJA requires funds for the New York Aasociation for new Amerlctms, which provides for the resettlement of the iarge numbers of Immigrants in New York.
The life saving and Ufe build¬ ing programs of the UJA cannot survive unless CV)lumbus as well aa all other communities in America provide increased sup¬ port.
ON THE LOCAL scene, more funds WiU be required for the coming year. The new Columbua Jewish Home for Aged which will be opentag its doors this fall with a minimum of 35 residents compared to the present number of 14, will need Increased operat¬ ing funds from the UJFC.
The Jewlah Center with an in¬ creased progTfim of operations tmd an tacreasing membership looks to the UJFC for assisttince in matatfilnlng adequate support of Its operattag budget and con¬ tinuing Its program ot urgent re¬ pairs and renovations. The Co¬ lumbua Hebrew School haa em¬ barked   on  tie  operation   of   a
Branch School and hopes to con¬ ttaue the Increase of its services to the community. Hlilel Founda¬ tion at O.8.U., the Jewish Com¬ munity Blood Donor Ctouncli, the American Program of the Jewish Family Service, the. Community Relations C!ommlttee, all will need as much if not more funds than In 1960.
THE UJFC supports a list of prominent and essential national programs which strengthen Jew¬ ish life nationally and Internat¬ ionally, Such agencies tis the American Jewish Committee, Antl-Defamatlon League of B'nai B'rith, American Jewish Con¬ gress, Jewish War Veterans, Jew¬ ish Labor Committee, B'nai B'rith National Youth Services Appeal. American Association for Jewish Education, National Jewish Wel¬ fare Board, Yiddish Scientific In¬ stitute, National Jewish Hosplttil, National Council of Jewish Wom¬ en, are among the many agencies supported by the Jewish com¬ munity of Columbus through the UJFC.
These agencies serve American Jewry nationally ta a manner which no local organization can serve. They provide special know¬ ledge, special skills, special per¬ sonnel, which often rebound to the benefit of CJolumbus. These organizations have expenses juat as do local agencies — staff — materials — utilities — etc.

ADL BACKS JERSEY FIRM ON PRACTICES OF EMPLOYMENT
RARITAN, NJ., (JTA)—The Anti-Defamation League ot B'nsl B'rith has approved the personnel policies of the Ortho Pliarma- ceutical Ck>rporatlon of this olty, which has been upheld by a New Jersey court on its contention that it does not discriminate against employees on the groimds of race, religion or color.
The company had been sued by Shaena Temmelman, an 18-yoar- old Orthodox Jewish girl, who claimed she was dismissed be¬ cause she Insisted on taking time off for religious reasons. The firm claimed that its personnel poUcles had been previously drawn up ta consultation with the ADL, and fully "respect" religious tradition and "differing observ¬ ances and customs." The corpora¬ tion Issued a statement from the ADL declaring:
"Some years ago, the Ortho Pharmaceutical O)rporation, with our cooperation, established a code of personnel practice which we Iwiieve conforms to the spirit of democratic thinking. The com¬ pany's code outlaws discrimina¬ tion timong Its employees on the grounds of race, creed or color; and our inquiries confirm that representatives of all faiths and creeds are on the staff and man¬ agement of Ortho. The tacts show that the company's employment policies include safeguards against discrimination. The Ortho policy recognizes the importance of re¬ ligious holidays of the various faiths.
"Our inquiries further show that the company enjoys an ex¬ cellent reputation in the field ot intergroup relationa In our opin¬ ion, its policy on religious ob¬ servance is near ideal."
