The statement, subscribed to by all the constituent agencies of the NCRAC which include the American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee, Jewish War Veterans of the U.

S. Union of American Hebrew Congregations of America, United Synagogue of America, and 33 Jewish community councils and community relations councils throughout the United States denounced especially the national origins quota system. The NCRAC memorandum of principles assailed the "bigotry and ignorance" regarding racial and ethnic qualities stipulated by the Immigration Law. "It is paradoxical," the statement observed, "that America, which prides itself on its loyalty to the dictates of scientific knowledge and discovery, should continue to base so significant a portion of its legal and legislati-e structure on foundations thoroughly and irrevocably exploded by scientific findings." The statement scored the "inhumane and medieval" use of deportation as a punishment for Continue a Good Habit! For many years, you've been accustomed to storing your precious furs with Morey Horwitz.

The report, which said the American film companies were becoming increasingly concerned with the whole problem of Spain's censorship, added that tightening of the censorship came after personnel changes at the censor board. Two lines of dialogue in American films which had to be cut before they were released in Spain, Variety reported, were: "He's another fellow Mr. Hitler didn't like," and "It was the Nazis that put out his eyes.

It was Himmler's men. They're working for the Russians now." Cutting of the latter line would seem to indicate that eten anti-Communist lines, usually welcome in Spain, are taboo when coupled with cracks about Nazis.

As Beershcba's new skyline formed by gleaming, whitewashed immigrant apartment houses loomed on the Horizon, Mrs. Roosevelt expressed amazement, recalling that the Beersheba of her last visit was a tiny village whose immigrant residents lived mostly in tents. Sees Signs of Hope Mrs. Roosevelt also saw the other side of the coin of immigration, the as-yet improperly housed and insufficiently integrated newcomers, visiting the huge ma'abara or transition village in the Galilee city of Tiberias, where thousands of immigrants live in tin huts or canvas walled huts without running water or electric light.

Even there, however, Mrs. Roosevelt saw signs of hope, expressing praise over the fact that all the teachers of the mabara children were themselves new immigrants. In the Galilee, Mrs. Roosevelt inspected the Huleh drainage project. Traveling by boat through the Huleh swamps and two newly dug drainage canals, the former First Lady saw evidence that the extensive swamps were on the road to redemption.

During her study tour, Mrs. Roosevelt also conferred with Prime Minister Sharett, Defense Minister Ben-Gurion and other leaders of the government and Jewish Agency. Mrs. Roosevelt was also heartened by Israel's rapid progress in meeting its many pressing problems. What struck her most, Mrs.

Roosevelt told reporters, was the advance that had been made in the integration of 750.000 newcomers since her visit of three years ago. tion Committee, is at present training 2,000 teen-aged students and 800 adults in some 20 trades in order to give them a vocation for the future and to aid Israel's growing agriculture and industry. Mrs. Roosevelt also visited Youth Aliyah institutions and heard that 13,500 youngsters from countries of tension and from Israel's immigrant transition centers are being trained by Youth Aliyah at present. Every month Youth Aliyah's network of children's villages take in another 500 youth from North Africa and from the tin-hut mabara.

Gigantic Settlement Project On her whirlwind study tour, Mrs. Roosevelt also saw the beginnings of a gigantic new land settlement project, visiting the Lachish District southwest of Jerusalem where the UJA-aided Jewish Agency is now resettling a virtually empty space of 750,000 dunams. Mrs. Roosevelt learned that 20 settlements with an average of 80 families each will be founded in the region this year in order to absorb new immigrants and to help Israel in its battle for economic independence. She visited Charovit, a new type of work camp where some 250 North African families live, work and study agriculture for about four months and then go out and establish new settlements of their own.

Devoting an entire day in her tight schedule to the growth of the Negev since her last visit, she first visited Rosh Ha'ayin near Tel Aviv, where hundreds of springs well up to provide the headwaters of the Yarkon River. Mere, she saw a tremendous pumping station which will soon divert 100 million cubic meters of water yearly into a 66-inch pipeline stretching 70 miles into the heart of the Negev. Turning south into the Negev, Mrs. Roosevelt was amazed to see the thousands of dunams of land being cultivated by some of the three score settlements established since statehood. Visiting the typical newcomers village of Nevatim, Mrs.

Roosevelt met with Cochin Jews from India who arrived in the Negev a scant nine months ago.

Israel Observes 7th Anniversary; Greets U. S. Jewry Rosenwald Reviews Nation's Great Strides Toward Self-Sufficiency JERUSALEM (JTA) The celebrations of Israel's seventh anniversary of independence was begun with great public balls in all parts of the country. On Thursday, the armed forces paraded in the major cities, displaying their latest weapons on the land and in the air. The number of tourists arriving from abroad to participate in and witness the Independence Day celebrations hit a record high this year, with El Al planes alone bringing in 2.000.

Israel Premier Moshe Sharett cabled to the Zionist Organization of America a special anniversary message stating: "We look back with satisfaction and pride at our achievements whilst we look into the future and tasks ahead of us with confidence and faith. Israel has not only grown in population in these years but is immeasurably stronger than she was seven years ago. These achievements are not ours alone but represent the combined and united efforts of Jews everywhere, especially in the United States, dedicated to the historic task of Israel's statehood." Observance of Israel's Seventh Anniversary Marked in U. S. NEW YORK (JTA) The observance of Israel's seventh anniversary was marked throughout the United States and celebrations lasted through Friday, April 29, the American Zionist Council announced here.

The anniversary itself oecured this year on Wednesday, April 27. William Rosenwald, general chairman of the United Jewish ApiK-al, summed up Israel's achievements in the past seven years and American Jewry's contributions to these successes. "Israel must make further great strides as she enters her eighth year and must look to generous American support of the UJA to produce a large part of the funds needed to speed both the new-state's economic development and the absorption of the continuing flow of Jewish families from lands of oppression and danger." Keeling 0f l'artnership Reviewing Israel's population growth, her agricultural, irrigation and settlement progress, her industrial strides toward self-sufficiency and the vast welfare program which criss-cross the state, Mr. Rosenwald declined: "Perhaps the most important effect of the American Jewish community's aid to Israel through UJA was the feeling of partnership given to Israel's self-sacrificing people. They have made and will continue to make heroic efforts of economic construction with the assurance that American Jews will continue to share in their critical tasks." Dewey D.

Stone, national chairman of the United Israel Appeal, in a statement made in connection with Israel Independence Dav, asserted that "Israel's seventh year can certainly be considered a turning point in the country's relentless struggle for financial stability, economic progress and the effective integration of needy newcomers. Mr. Stone noted that while very important advances have been made in the past seven years, much still remains to be done. As one example he cited the field of housing in which 110,000 units have already been built since the state was founded, but where 75,000 additional units are needed as a minimum. Norway to Accept Displaced Jews OSLO (JTA) Up to 100 displaced persons and their dependents now living in camps in Germany and Austria will be accepted as immigrants by Norway within the next few months, under a special plan of the Norwegian Government and the Joint Distribution Committee made public by the Refugee Council of Norway, representing the Government, and Charles Jordan, assistant director general of the JDC.

Under the plan, the JDC will provide financial aid for the expansion of rehabilitation services in Norway now used by Jewish immigrants there and which will also be used by the newcomers, in addition to other types of aid and services. Those immigrants requiring additional medical care will be placed in hospitals and sanatoria by the Norwegian Government, which will also provide vocational training for those who need such training to enable them to be integrated into the country economic life.
