Zionist Congress Gains
Hailed By Zuckerman
The achievements of the recent
S7th World Zionist Congress aimed
at promoting the unity of the Jew-
ish people and the centrality of the
land of Israel in its life were
tailed this week by Joseph P.
Zuckerman of Miami Beach, who
i(presented the Farband-Labor Zi-
onist Order at the historic conclave
.t. Jerusalem.
In an interview with The Jewish
Floridian. Mr. Zuckerman said the
cecision by the Israel government
10 take over the responsibility for
absorption of new immigrants was
Jong overdue and he welcomed the
government's establishment of a
pedal Ministry of Absorption.
I only wonder,-' Mr Zucker-
man declared, "why the Israeli
I ivernment did not take similar
(ction in the field of immigra-
tion."
In setting up the new Ministry,
tne Israeli government made the
Jewish Agency responsible for im-
migration matters.
Mr. Zuckerman had high praise

participated in the deliberations of
the Congress and compared their
action to the generally widespread
activities of other student groups

agricultural settlements on a self-
supportir.3 basis, Mr. Zuckerman
voiced the hope that other under-
takings would be treated in a sim-

The Farband leader predicted
that new areas of activity would
be opened up to the Jewish Na-
tional Fund in the wake of last
year's Six Day War to further de-
velopment of new areas for Jewish
settlement and for the expansion
of agricultural regions in the hill
districts and along the borders.
Mr. Zuckerman expressed confi
dence in the Israeli government's
ability to tackle all problems on-
fronting the Jewish state. "The
government is well aware of its de-
ficiencies," he said, "and is trying
lo eliminate them."
During his visit, besides attend-
ing the Congress sessions. Mr. and
Mrs. Zuckerman were received by
President Zalman Shazar and by
other government dignitaries and
made a tour of the entire country
and the occupied territories as
well.
Asked his opinion of Israel's fu-
ture, Mr Zuckerman replied. "The'
coining years will be difficult ones
for the Jewish state and will re-
