Former Senator Herbert H. Lehman (right) is shown receiving a special
award from Ira Guilden (left), National Campaign Chairman of the Israel
Bond Organization, at a dinner in New York honoring the veteran statesman
and Jewish leader. More than $1,000,000 in Israel Bonds were sold as a result
of the dinner for Senator Lehman. Taking part in the tribute to Senator
Lehman were Abba Eban (center), Israel’s Ambassador to the United States,
and (in back, left to right) Sidney J. Ungar, Campaign Chairman of the
Greater New York Committee for Israel Bonds, and James G. McDonald,
former U. S. Ambassador to Israel.

them choosing1 to go to Israel.
The Russian government noti-
fied Poland that it would halt the
entire repatriation program if the
repatriated Jews were permitted
to go to Israel. Gomulka, fearing
the loss of the several hundred
thousand repatriates covered by
the entire agreement, therefore
closed the exit doors for the Jew-
ish repatriates.
The Russo-Polish repatriation
agreement expires December 31,
1958. After that date, Poland
will be in a position to permit the
Jewish repatriates to leave flor
Israel.
Meanwhile, the repatriates in
Poland are being given vocation-
al training, several thousand of
them being enrolled in classes
conducted by ORT. Poland has
allowed ORT and the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee to resume ac-
tivities in that cduntry. A JDC
report last summer showed that
more than 12,000 Jewish men,
women and children, were re-
ceiving social welfare assistance
in Poland. ORT was giving train-
ing to nearly 1,500 adults taking
vocational courses in special
schools or in on-the-job courses in
factories. In addition, ORT was

many repatriates sit around w th. while the remaining members of
their bags packed,” presumably
hoping to go soon to Israel. Many
of the repatriates refuse even to
send their children to Polish
I schools.
[ There are still left in Poland
between 40,000 and 50,000 Jews
—aside from the repatriates. On
the whole, the official attitude
toward them is tolerant. There (
are many Yiddish schools—almost
all of them bear the name of I.
L. Peretz.
There is wide unemployment a-
mong Polish Jews—not only the
repatriates but the older natives.
Some of this unemployment, ac-
cording to the Polish press, is due
to “general disorganization in the
country’s economy.” But even the
pbo-communist press has admitted
the family are in Rumania. Seven
years ago, after permitting- the
exit of more than 40,000 Ruman-
ian Jews who left for Israel, the
Bucharest government suddenly
closed the gates. The government
has made many promises to allow
these “split-family” sufferers to
join their famil es in Israel. The
promises have been broken.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
There are a little over 20,000
Jews remaining in Czechoslovakia,
out of a pre-war population of
350,000. Emigration, to Israel or
anywhere else, is forbidden.)
However, inside the country the
policy toward Jews seems muck
more liberal than the Soviet Un-
ion’s.
