THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
Columbia Starts Courses for Students
Wishing To Become Experts On Israel
NEW YORK,(JTA)—The estab
lishment of a Center of Israeli
Studies, in which American and
foreign students will be trained
as regional specialists in various
professional fields, was announced
by Columbia University. The
Center will be financed by the
Jewish Agency. '
The students will concentrate
on the present-day economic,
political and social culture of Is
rael. They will be trained to do
work of authority and influence
in business, finance, journalism
and government service, and to
serve as specialists in research
and teaching in the social sciences,
religion and literature.
Probably the only one of its
kind on such a scale, the new unit
will be in operation with the be
ginning of the Columbia winter
session in September, according to
Professor Schuyler C. Wallace, di
rector of the School of Interna
tional Affairs. Professor Wallace
said the center will be headed by
Dr. Salo W. Baron, professor of
Jewish History, Literature and
Institutions at Columbia. He will
be assisted by a staff of experts
in Jewish culture, assembled from
the United States and Israel.
“The purpose of the center is to
perform a national service by pre
paring well-qualified American
and foreign students to understand
Israel and its people, both in its
Near Eastern setting and its his
torical connection with the Jewish
people and with their religion and
culture in other countries,” Pro
fessor Wallace emphasized.
“The staff of the Center of Is
raeli Studies believes that such
prospective specialists should ac
quire special knowledge and
training.” These include: (a) a
broad and well-integrated knowl
edge of Israel, Judaism and the
Near East; (b) command of a
well-developed speciality in a
selected academic discipline, as
applied to those areas; and (c) a
broad training in the more general
aspects of this selected discipline.
Aside from its prime objective
of training students for scholarly
I
ana professional careers with a
I major emphasis on Israel, Juda-
i ism, and the Near East, the Near
i East, the center will attempt to
advance the general knowledge
| and understanding of these areas,
chiefly through research work and
i publications of its staff and stu
dents, declared Professor Wallace.
: The admission of students from
other parts of Columbia to the
center’s courses will further this
! secondary aim, he said.
Three classes of students may
| register for courses in the new
unit. They are: (1) students de-
; siring to specialize particularly in
| the area and cultural courses of-
! fered by the center, while working
! for a degree in one or another
academic fields who may wish to
| take individual courses in the cen
ter in connection with their pri
mary interest; and (3> special stu-
) dents, who, while not working for
j a degree, may wish to take courses
| in the center for reasons of per
sonal interest in the area or the
subject matter of the courses of
fered.
Typical of the courses which
j will be available is the following
cross-section of subjects: Political
| and Social Institutions of Israel,
Ancient Jewish History and Liter -
j ature, Jews Under Islam, Jews in
Eastern Europe, The Prophets and
i Sages of Israel, and Economics and
Society in the Middle East. Pro-
| fessor Wallace said that it is hoped
that the center will eventually be
come an integral part of Colum-
| bia’s projected Near and Middle
j East Institute.

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—An ap
peal to the Soviet Government to
permit the teaching of Hebrew in
the U.S.S.R. and the dissemina
tion of Hebrew books there was
made here by the First World He
brew Congress hi a resolution
adopted at its concluding session.
The Congress decided to estab
lished close cooperation with the
Jewish Agency and other national
institutions. It declared that He
brew is the only language that
can unite the Jewish people in the
world over and called for the re
vival of Hebrew in Jewish private
and in public life.
The Congress decided to estab
lish World Hebrew Union to im
plement resolutions and approve
a $100,000 budget for the first
year of its activities. Preparations
will also be made to establish a
Hebrew Cultural Fund. Menachem
Ribalow, editor of the New York
Hebrew weekly, Hadar, and Isaac
Ben Zvi of Israel were elected
presidents of the organization.
Samuel J. Borowsky of New York
was elected chairman.

strengthening the link between
Israel and Jewish communities the
world over, Aubrey S. Eban, Is
rael’s ambassador to the United
States and chief Israel delegate
to the United Nations, declared
addressing the World Hebrew
Congress.
The Israel Ambassador revealed

ference of Israel diplomats sta
tioned in more than a dozen coun
tries—which was held here and in
Tel Aviv for more than a week—
decided to foster the study of He
brew in the various countries in

officials. It was also learned here
today that the diplomats’ confer
ence pointed up the need for ap
pointing “cultural attaches” to
existing Israel legations.
Evidence of a divergency be
tween the Jewish Agency and the
World Hebrew Union—which was
sponsoring the Congress—was
brought to the surface when Berl
Locker, chairman of the Jewish
Agency executive here, denied
that the Agency was opposed to
the Congress. Mr. Locker said that
the Jewish Agency wants the
World Hebrew Union to join the
efforts of the Jewish Agency to
revive the Hebrew language thru-
out the world.
“Let the World Hebrew Union’s
efforts flow into the Zionist move
ment’s big river, for the achieve
ment of the common task,” JMr.
Locker said. Samuel J. Borowsky
president of the Histadruth Ivrltb
of America, who heads the U. S
delegation to the Congress, in a
reply to Mr. Locker, demanded
that the Jewish Agency extend as
sistance to the Union to “enable it
to conduct its work,” ,

KENNESAW CA.
Mrs. Ann Poling, 609 Delaware
St., Indianapolis, Indiana, who 1
was suffering from deficiencies
of Vitamins Bi, B», Iron, and
Niacin, smiles as she pours her
self another cup of coffee. Mrs.
Poling says life lately is like it
used to be years ago . . . “that is,
of course, since I’ve been taking
HADACOL." She can’t get over
what a difference HADACOL has
made in her outlook on life.
Mrs. Poling says: ‘Threemonths
ago a good friend of mine told
me about HADACOL—she knew
how much stomach distress I have
had. Any type of food that was
fried or that had acid in it I just
couldn’t eat. It affected my
sleep, too. In fact, I couldn’t have
been in a worse condition. When
I ate what I wanted to I felt mis
erable and when I didn’t eat these
things—1 didn’t have a proper
diet and still felt bad. Then, when
I started taking HADACOL, I
felt better immediately. I’ve got
a bottle in the house now—and
will continue to keep HADACOL
from now on. I have told many
folks about HADACOL—and they
all thank me for telling them
about HADACOL. They all have
gotten wonderful results from
HADACOL like I have. Now I
eat anything I want and get a
good night’s sleep. I can’t praise
HADACOL enough”
HADACOL Can Help Yoa, Too*
. . . as it has helped thousands
of others whose systems lacked
Vitamins Bi, B., Iron and Niacin.
Yes, even hundreds of doctors
have recommended HADACOL to
their patients. The HADACOL
formula is so effective for stom-
ache distress, nervousness, in
somnia, constipation, aches and
wains of neuritis, and a general
run-down condition caused by
such deficiencies.
Make Up Yoar Mind
. . . to give HADACOL a chance
to help you, as it has helped
countless thousands of others. Re
member, there are no substitutes
for HADACOL. Always insist on
the genuine HADACOL. No risk
involved. Buy a bottle of HADA
COL, either the trial size, $1.25.
or the large family or hospital
size, $3.50, and if HADACOL does
not help you your money will be
refunded.
