A new five-year plan providing for the expenditure of more than 6,500,000 rubles (approximately $1,300,000) for municipal improvements in the Jewish autonomous region of Biro-Bidjan has been put into operation, it was announced here.
At the same time the Jewish physicians in Biro-Bidjan issued an urgent appeal for additional medical books and scientific periodicals, pointing out that previous collection campaigns have netted them only 500 books.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
