In a preface to the 70-page "Survey of the Jewish Communities of the World," Dr. Nehemlah Robinson, of New York, director of the Institute of Jewish Affairs, states that the study is based on recent information whenever possible "received from or checked by" the local representative Jewish body. Dr. Robinson points out, however, that "moat of the figures are estimates because in only a few cases do official census data exist"

Perhaps it is because they don't have the most modern equipment in school. They are forced to improvise and invent. This trait, once initiated, leads to tremendous results."
Rafa's biggest problem at present is finding ten dunaras in land-dear Jerusalem to expand. Dr. Levin is even considering several tempting offers from towns in the coastal plain. On these ten du-nams he expects to build a (1m. plant working in the field of viruses. When-completed, it will employ an additional 35 trained scientists and technicians.

Among the 3,310,642 Jews of Europe are about "two million persons registered as Jews in the Soviet Union within its present boundaries." The Soviet's largest Jewish settlements are in: Moscow, .about 800,000; Leningrad, about 150,000 ^ Kharkov and Odessa, about 100,000 each. Dr. Robinson notes, "There are no Jewish communities or other representative bodies of the Jewish population, not even within the Communist Party, the Yevsektsia (Jewish section of the Communist Party) having been liquidated before the last war." Next to the two million Jews in the USSR, the largest Jewish community in Europe is in Great Britain, 450,000, followed by 300,000 in France; and 200,000 in Rumania.
According to the survey, there are in all 2,335,050 Jews within the Soviet sphere of influence: Albania, 200; Bulgaria, 6,000; Czechoslovakia, 17,000; East Germany, 1,850; Hungary, 75,000; Poland, 35,000; Rumania, 200,000; and the USSR, two million. The 200 Jews of Albania live "without any organizational structure" in three localities: Tirana, (Scutari, and Valona, without a rabbi or any Jewish educational facilities. The WJC volume states: "No discrimination or political persecution appears to have taken place (in Albania) since World War II."
In the United States, according to the survey, there are about two million Jews in greater New York; 400,000 in Los Angeles, Cal.; 330,-000 in Philadelphia, Pa.; 280,000

nity has the right to build a strongly rooted Jewish life in the land of their political allegiance."
Hadassah has a membership of 318,000 in 1,288 chapters and groups throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. It supports and maintains a network of medical and social service institutions in Israel, says the New York Times. Twenty-five hundred delegates attended the meeting.
In addition to mustering intensified moral and financial support for Israel, Dr. Freund declared that the Zionist movement's other primary objective "must be to assure the strengthening of every phase of Jewish cultural and spiritual life in Jewish communities in this country and throughout the world."
Dr. Freund stressed the importance of tiie Hebrew language "as the binding link between Jews of Israel and those living in other parts of th� world and-which is the indispensable medium for understanding the Jewish heritage."
Noting the visit of Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, the Zionist leader also declared that "as Jews, we are especially concerned with persisting reports that Jews within the Soviet Union are not free to practice their religion and to insure its survival by teaching it to their children.''
"Freedom to the Jews," she said, "also means freedom to communicate with Jews in other lands
and with the center of Jewish cultural and spiritual life which is Israel."
At another session, Mrs. Mortimer Jacobson, chairman of Ha-dassah's Zionist Affairs Committee, scored the policies of President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic, says the New York Times, charging that he "made it possible for the Soviet Union to stake out so firm a ptvi-tion in the Middle East that the region has become a contesting ground between East and West/'
1960 Pontiac Is Designed For New Look, Quiet Ride
A striking new front grille and new rear-end styling highlight Pontiac for 1960, as announced General Motors^ of Canada, Limited. New massive bumpers, front and rear; and a V-shaped grille give the Pontiac a long, clean look. Rear fenders are smoother and decked by twin trailing nacelles which extend rearward from the back window to house dual tail lamps.
The 1960 Pontiac has a quieter ride. There's more room in the front seat compartment, brakes have been improved and tires are more durable. Instrument panels are new and highlighted by a two-tone non-glare jaaint trcatnwnt^attd new gauges. The hooded instrument cluster houses a long, horizontal speed indicator over four circular gauges for fuel, engine temperature-oil pressure, generator and clock readings. Accessory control knobs are new and readily accessible. Floor carpeting has a higher, fuller and firmer pile.
The size of the front compartment transmission tunnel has been reduced. The frame has been reinforced and new rubber-insulated body mounts give a quieter vide. New synthetic rubber and a change in the proportion of synthetic and natural rubber increases tread life by 12 per cent, and promises less impact on bumps, reduced tire squeal on turns and surer traction. Brakes require less pedal pressure, and the parking brake now carries a pop-out release lever.
Pontiac offers 31 models in six series: five Parisiennes, six Lau-rentians. four Strato-Chiefs, four Bonnevilles, three Star Chiefs, seven Ca talmas and two in a new Ventura series which feature interiors of special design. Pontiac engines include a six and four V8s, including an improved Srra-to-Flash which has been redesigned to give greater economy.
