The settlement is in central Israel, about lialway between uethleheni and the coast In the Lachish area. A croup of American newspaper nml radio editors and correspondents was brought to Kyrlnt Gat today because this settlement is typical of about 25 others, to which most of the newcomers from Rumania nnd other Kiist Kuropenn countries iiave been taken in the last ten weeks. Immigrants como there directly from Lydda airport or from the port of .'Haifa, and are put up in one-story nnd- two-story homes,
modestly furnished. Kach home in equipped with kitchen utensils nnd be'ridiiiK - and contains an eight-day supply of food. The arrangements are designed to <;ive the immigrant family head at least one- week's freedom from the worries of looking for a job and to adjust himself and his family to the new life Iti Israel. In addition to the 100 Rumanian families here, there are also 270 families from Poland nnd Russia, and IIbout ."W families from Hungary. The -1,300 Kiimiiiiliin J«w.« represent three, fjroups.

In dealing with the employment problem, the Israel Government is expanding industry and helping to establish new industries in the area, based on regional raw materials. In the Kyrlat Gat region —where cotton and sugar beets are grown—textile and sugar factories are being set up, simultaneously with the construction of new homes. Workers from the ranks of the newcomers are employed on the new construction. Kyrlat Gat already linw ft population of 7,300 families, which includes a group of vetoran Israelis who agreed to nottlo here to bolster the morale of the newcomer*
The veterun settlers also liullevc that Kyrlnt (i:it will develop into a major Industrial and commercial center of the Lucliish area. More than .'130 empty houses are ready here for more expected newcomers. Plans are being developed for another 2,000 housing units for those expected to come later in the swelling immigration. Some skilled newcomers, Impatient to find work on their own initiative, have left Kyriat Gat to seek work elsewhere in Israel. No effort Is being made to dissuade the.
