At the annual meeting of the Newark Beth Israel Hospital it was reported that in the five years since the new $4,000,000 hospital building was opened. 101,263 patients received service. Of the total number of patients hospitalized, 55 per cent were Jewish, 28 per cent Protestant and 17 per cent Catholic. A financial summary showed that during the five years, ward service in relation to hospital service approximated 35 per cent, representing a charitable contribution to the community of $1,061,626. Frank I. Liveright was re-elected president; Michael Hollander and Dr. I. J. Rachlin, vice-president. New directors elected included Louis V. Aronson, H. A.

The Arab press publishes a report that every Jew who illegally entered Palestine will have his entry legalized if he appears before the authorities for residential registration.

The Arab press says further that an official order to this effect will shortly be issued by the Palestine Government in the form of instructions to the Immigration and Naturalization Departments.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns, however, that the report is without foundation. “The report in the Arab press is absolutely false,” the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was informed in reliable quarters.
