Jev/jsh Population About 13,000,000 New York (JTA)—There are now about 13,000,000 Jews living in 130 countries and territories according to a World Jewish Congress, survey. The survey, carried out by tha Institute of Jewish Affairs, reports that 10,000,000 Jews live in three countries: 5,500,000 in the United States; 2,200,000 in Israel, and about 2,300,000 in the Soviet Union according to figures available following the 1959 Russian census. With the recent influx of Jews from North Africa, particularly from Algeria, France has moved ahead to become the fourth largest Jewish community in the w o r l d with a population of 500,000 Jews. Next are Argentina and Britain; 450,000 each; Canada 250,000; Rumania, 150,000; Brazil, 140,000; Morocco 125,000; and the Union of South Africa, 110,000.
Israel Honors 'Angel of Lvov' Jerusalem (WNS)—She was called the "angel of Lvov" by those she had saved in Poland from the hands of the unmentionables and now she has reaped the reward of mercy in the Holy City. When M r s . Wladyslawa Choms, a Polish woman of the Christian faith, labored as head of a group to rescue Jews during the Nazi occupation of her country she was moved by mercy only, little dreaming that her reward, outside of inner satisfaction, would come in the land of the Jews she helped save and in a city whose sanctity is shared by the believers of both faiths. And when the honor
came to her this week, the planting of a tree in her nama in the Avenue of the Righteous Gentiles, the Polish woman again rose to heights—declaring that this was "the first beacon light" in her life since the end of the war. The ceremony took place at the Yad Vashem Memorial Shrine. KBON Radio 1490 Presents "Message of Israel" Sun., April 14, 10 p.m. Program The Parable of Passover Rabbi Arnold J.

A I OOth Anniversary Noted By Joshua If. Jusluian, JTA Correspondent in Israel Israel's press now celebrates its hundredth anniversary; an anniversary which quite obviously goes beyond marking the day when the first Hebrew newspaper was published in the Holy Land. It also marks the day when the revival of the Hebrew language began taking root alongside the revival ot Jewish life in the ancient Homeland. Both were headed for a long, hard—and successful—struggle. It was one inoiniug in ISC'! that placards appeared on (lie walls of Jerusalem heralding (lie publication of Palestine's Jirst Hebrew newspaper—The Lebanon. The masthead of the new paper was carried in three languages—Hebrew, Arabic and Latin. Below it ran a legend in arresting black type which rlvnlcd the scope if not the torseness of present-day journalistic slogans. It read: "Heralding the peace of Jerusalem, giving the news of the Holy Land in general, reporting the unknown from the lands of Syria, Yeman and India and the teachings of those sitting before God in the Holy Land—everything that a man of Israel is desirous of knowing." Evidently, the Turkish authorities had different ideas on what a man of Israel should know, for, after only 12 issues, they forced The Lebanon to close. Undeterred, one of its editors— Rabbi Yechiel Brill—moved to Paris where he continued to bring out the paper for 14 more years. Simultaneously, the fight for a Hebrew press in Jerusalem went on. One year after The Lebanon closed, Yoel Moshe Salomon, another of the original group of editors, brought out a magazine, Judea and Jerusalem, and at the same time a second newspaper, Havatzelet, was published by I. F. Frumkin. Obstacles from the Turkish administration constantly had to be overcome. But many other problems arose, not (he least of which was the opposition of the old Jewish community in Jerusalem to whom Hebrew was a sacred tongue which should be used only for studying the Holy Scriptures. The opposition and obstacles that came from these quarters were at times more difficult to overcome than (hose emanating from outside the community. The problems were manifold, among them the problem of creating a language in which the news of the times could be reported. There was the need to coin new words, new phrases, in a word—of bringing the Hebrew language to life. An outstanding pioneer in this endeavor was Eliezcr Ben Yehuda who for over 33 years published a variety of newspapers and magazines. As the Turks shut down his papers, he would change their names and reappear. Once he was sentenced to a year's imprisonment, Another time his papers were "excommunicated" by extreme religious elements. It was Ben Yehuda who first brought out a daily Hebrew newspaper in Palestine—Hazvi. He was also the first to publish a technical journal, "The Jewish Farmer," and he was the first to introduce cable service to the Hebrew press in 1898. Sometimes, publication was impeded by difficulties of another sort. One Issue of Hazvi carried this "Editor's note:" "The next Issue of Hazvi will not be published on time as the editor, for a very important
