THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1958 Israeli Race Merger ConfWmed by Patai By NEAL FRIEDMAN Dr. Raphael Patai, director of research at the Theodore Herzl Institute in New York said last night that despite the vast differences in backgrounds between the races in Israel today, there is evolving a merging culture. Patai said there are two basic groups of immigrants in Israel—those from the West (east ern and central Europe), and those of the East (the middle east ern Moslem and Arab countries). Patai spoke on "Israel Between East and West: A Study in Hu man Relations" at the second of three lectures in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel at the Hillel Foundation last night. At present, said Patai, the population of the country is about evenly split between the two groups, but due to the high er birth rate of the Eastern peoples, in aboui another 1 0 years two-thirds of the poputi lion will be of Eastern descent. One - of the major problems Is rael faces today, Patai said, is the assimilating of the Eastern peo ples into the population.

Pattiz said he does not foresee any conflict resulting from the merg ing of cultures, but rather sees them existing shoulder to shoul der and slowly becoming one.
