I had wondered how the aeroplane would land on the Rock. The airfield, reaching out to eea, only daUs from the last war and a short ride from there brings one to the old town huddled below the huge, bulbous Rock. The main winding street is like a bazaar with many

The Jewish community in Gibraltar dates from the early 18th century and, in fact, settled there shortly after British occupation. -In- a- population of some7 20,000 there are less than 700 Jews, all Sephardi and largely originating from North Africa. They are staunchly British and have contributed many distingushed citizens to Gibraltan life, including a Lord Mayor. The Jewish community is governed by a board of 11 elected member* which controls all activities /except synagogal life. There are many beautiful synagogues in Gibraltar in the oriental style and a fine school and clubhouse which is used by children and adults alike.
The president of the community, Mr. David Benaim, O.B.E., is the Grand Old Man of Gibraltan Jewish life. He is .also the Consul for Israel and very proud of his office. He and his colleagues are devoted both to Gibraltar and to the continuation of a rich Jewish life there. At present they are especially concerned with the re-establishment of a Jewish secondary school.
The community, of course, maintains the strongest link with the Spanish and Portuguese congregation in Great Britain and was recently visited by the Haham, Dr. Solomon Gaon. The vice-president of the community, Mr. Judah Laredo, and his colleagues are anxious to maintain the1 closest links with Jews in the British , Commonwealth. "
From Gibraltar I crossed in a ferry to the little town of Alge-ciras and took a train over spectacular mountain scenery to the beautiful old town of Ronda. This town is famous for the oldest bullring in Spain, a fine colonnaded building which is probably on the site of a Roman arena, and also as the centre for bandits and smugglers. During the Civil War it was the scene of bitter fighting

Although I welcomed all these attractions the reason for my visit was to pay a call on David Bomberg, a veteran Anglo-Jewish -painter. Bomberg is now in hi* late 60's. Immediately after the first world war he had a growing reputation as one of the most important British artists, but in recent years he has received less attention than he ought to command. To some extent this has been due to his desire to teach almost more than to paint, and he has been instrumental in setting up controversial artistic groups.
Bomberg sprang to fame following his visit to Petra in Palestine in 1923 and the brilliant paintings he did there were exhibited in London in 1928. He always seeks dramatic scenery for his paintings and is especially interested in unusual architecture Or rock

Brazilian Jews made full use of their right to vote in that country's recent elections. Dr. V. Win-terstein, World Jewish Congress representative in Rio de Janeiro, estimated that 96% of the community's eligible voters went to the polls. A number of Jewish, candidates were returned to Fed* eral, State, and local legislatures. Brazilian Jewry numbers 125,000 most of whom live in three centers: Rio, 40,000; Sao Paulo, 45,-CXHfc and Porto Allegr^ 12,000.
Dr. A. SUinbrueh, th* president of the Jewish Federation of Rio de Janeiro, was elected to the Federal Chamber of Deputies as a Workers' Party representative for the State of Rio. A member of the executive of the Sao Paulo Jewish Federation and a former Brazilian Finance Minister, Dr. Hora-cio Lafer (Social Democrat) also won a seat in the Federal Chamber.
As a result of the elections, two members of the Jewish community are now members of the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Council: Dr. Izeckson and Mr. Silvert. both Socialists. Prof. Zveibil (Independent), a well-known member of the Sao Paulo Jewish community, waa elected to the Sao Paulo State Chamber. Two non-Jews, renown--ed�&��their sympathy towards

report on the situation of the community, which numbers about 30,-000, was given byj&enor Enrique Testa, vice-president of the Re-
Sresentative Committee of Chilean ewry, in the course of a conference with leaders of the World Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Congress in New .York. Senor Testa, who is a corporation lawyer and Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Santiago de Chile, said that there are Jewish members of the national legislature and that others hold positions of high responsibility in the public life of the country. In the fields of culture, commerce and jurisprudence they play their full part in the develop* ment of Chilean life.
Director of the Representative Committee's Cultural Department, Senor Testa stated that the Chilean community had never experienced racial or religious discrimination. He expressed confidence

that under the new President, Dr. Allessandri, the democratic institutions and, traditions of the country would be preserved and strengthened. These democratic traditions were so deeply rooted, he said, that Chileans in all sectors of the populace were confi-dent that they would be maintained unimpaired in "the great effort, which faces the country to overcome serious economic difficulties."
"The country is so mindful of its democratic tradition and its judiciary system," the Chilean Jewish leader said, "that when a small unimportant group recently succumbed to Ku Klux Klan propaganda sent from the United States, the Chilean authorities took swift and decisive action against them." Senor Testa visited Congress House in New York in the course of a business trip to the United States. The Representative Committee of Chilean Jewry is an affiliate of the World Jewish Congress.

One feature of the elections, Dr. Winterstein noted in a report to the Western Hemisphere Executive of the World Jewish Congress, was the failure of the Integralists, a party that, during the Hitler era, was the voice of political anti-Semitism in Brazil.
Plinio Salgado, the leader of the Integrahsts, was elected to the Federal Chamber of Deputies. But not one of his followers won a seat anywhere in the country. Salgado some time ago renounced anti-Semitism, and even denied that he had ever entertained such sentiments. This renunciation proved of tittle araiHa the-*ec�nt-elections.
