HouNlng addressing tho 1,500 JcwiHli community lenders from nil parts of tho country, said that (lie people of Israel ur<> now cn(jaged In :i dramatic, nervestraining effort to build 18,000 now housing units. Dr. Joscplithal Indicated tluit Israel has so IIUio influeiuo in Its flow of Immigrants, It can only estimate tills flow and liulld accordingly. Israel's people, he said, are fighting against the return of the "ma-abarot," the I m m i g r a n t shanty towns, which were established in the peak of the 1950 immigration to house thousands of newcomers coming into the Jewish State. At their height these canvas and wooden shack towns held 250,000 people, and rapidly became slum towns, After considerable effort most of tlie "ma-abarot" were practically claned out last spring.
Soviet Technique Raises Query London (WNS) — Experts on tlie Soviet Jewish problems are wondering whether the death sentence against a 52-year-old Orthodox Jew in Tiflis is not a new Soviet technique for disposing of Orthodox Jewish lay leaders on charges totally unrelated to that goal. Mordekh Kaldnshvili was accused nnd convicted on charges of currency speculation. He was not formally identified as a Jew in tho court proceedings but the Soviet press made it plain to interested readers that he was a Jew by religion. One newspaper indicated that the defendant refused to sign a statement of interrogation on a Saturday and quoted him as saying he could not sign on that day but that he would sign the next day.
Mfension
Appeal sion to obtain Eichmann's prison memoirs, but was' refused. He claimed that tho manuscripts must be sold to help meet the cost of the impending appeal. However, Dr. Servatius praised the conduct of the trial, declaring it was "a great spiritual Achievement." Mo Ruling Before March The appeal to the Israel Supreme Court, if filed early next month, cannot result in high tribunal ruling before about March, since tho high court will have to study not only the entire 300-pago final judgment and sentence, but also the lengthy record of the trial itself which lasted exactly four months. According to law, the appeal must be heard by a minimum of three members of the Supreme Court and, in any case, by an odd number of justices.
