flow to Explain Israel Keynote Of Bowies' Message to Hadassah Pittsburgh (WNS) President Kennedy, in a message to tho jubilee convention of Hadassah, hailed the organization's 50-year record, declaring that "the entire w o r l d " was benefitting from "such projects as the Hadassah-Hcbrew University medical center." C h e s t e r Bowles, the President's s p e c i a l representative and adviser on Africa, Asian and Latin-American affairs, told the 2,000 convention delegates that "man's greatest accompHope-Israel lishmonts from the beginning of time have always been born of great dreams." He asked: "And what built Israel if it was not hope? What else can explain this rebirth of an old nation after ••the passage of centuries, despite obstacles of weather, geography, and political strife that led European, American and Arab 'realists' to assert that the dream itself was monumental nonsense?" "Equip Itself" Avraham Harmnn, Israeli Ambassador to the United States, told the parley that his government's major objective was
Cyprus-Bound i a y Not Need Passports Israel —The Ministry of the Interior, here, is expected to introduce a measure soon which will make it possible for Israel's citizens to visit Cyprus, using only an Israel identity card instead of a passport. Israeli citizens may now travel to Cyprus on a special document or else join an organized group with a collective passport. Tho latter method also entails the payment of a travel tax. It is thought that when special travel documents are abolished this tax will also be waived.
the chievement of peace. At the same time he asserted t h a t while Israel hopes for peace it must sustain the morale of its people "at a high level" and equip itself . . . with "an abiding capacity" to defend itself against attack. The defense policy of Israel, he said, "is not directed toward the winning of wars—as w« see it, the test of the success of our defense policy is that our defense capacity should never be used."
Copenhagen (WNS) Sharp exception to a pronouncement by Premier David Ben Gurion of Israel on the need of the Jewish youth of tho Scandinavian countries to migrate to Israel was voiced here by Chief Rabbi Phil Marcus Melchior in a public p r e s s statement that created quite a stir in the Jewish community here. The Israeli Premier had told a Jewish youth group that he was urging (hem to go to Israel for settlement or study because he was concerned about the future of Jews in countries "whore assimilation was so marked." Later the .Chief Rabbi told newsmen that the motivation behind his statement was the fact that the Prime Minister's statement was "understood here as an appeal to all Danish Jews to leave Denmark and emigrate to Israel." He added that he was "afraid about possible disquiet for Jews as a result, and it was my duty to answer." Rabbi Melchior too noted that Danish Jews need not proclaim their patriotism, but that lie was taking "an opportunity like this to state that no one, however big he may be or from wher-

We are engaged in a vast program of reacuc, relief, rehabilitation, a.s well as p r o g r a m s w h i c h strengthen our communities and which enrich our lives. But these can be carried out only if we meet our obligations. Please do not wait; there is hunger and need and danger now; and now is the moment when your dollars can perform their greatest service and do the most good." Mr. Chapman especially emphasized tlie virtual exodus of Jews from Algeria, the problems of emergency relief to be

The rabbi in a special prayer beseeched peace for Israel after recalling what the Danish Jews had done for Israel. In his r e p l y , Mr. Ben G u r i o n reiterated hope that Danish Jews would remain faithful to Judaism "even if their situation is as good as it is."

Issua With Jesuit Plication on Jews New York (WNS)—Two leading Catholic publications, one in Michigan and the other in California, have voiced displeasure over tho recent warning by the Jesuit weekly "America" that continued Jewish suoport of the Supremo Court ruling against official p r a y e r s in public schools might engender antiSemitism in the United States. In Fresno, California, tho Central California Register, official organ of the Fresno-Monterey Catholic Diocese, said editorially that it was "amazed" and "saddened" over "America's" singling out of Jews as opponents of prayers in schools while ignoring opposition by non-Jewish groups, including some Catholics. The Register noted in an editorial signed by its managing editor Gerard E. Sherry that "America" had failed to mention the many Protestant groups also aligned in the opposition camp," adding that "there are more non>Iewish groups opposing official prayers in public schools than there are in the Jewish faith.

Israel Hospitals Accept Cypriots Israel — Israel hospitals are admitting Cypriots in need of specialized treatment, according to an agreement between Israel and Cyprus Health Ministries. The agreement makes official a practice which has been in force for some time now. In the last few months about six patients from Cyprus have undergone treatment here. Cases involved include brain, chest, and eye surgery; neurology; specialized ear, nose and throat treatment, and heart diseases, for which facilities are lacking in Cyprus. Previously many C y p r i o t s went to England for medical attention. This agreement is regarded as a gesture of goodwill since hospitals in Israel are operating at full capacity.

"Wherever there are Jews in the free world, there is B'nai B'rith. All because, in New York City in "1843, 12 10 v l :ious-mindcd Jews met together in a tiny, gaslit room to form Uie first Jewish lodge . . Today there are lodges in :!8 countries of the world. B'nai B'rith crime into existence not so much to protect the Jew from dangers without us from dangers within . . , Jeivirh groups of the day were .sharply divided. The new immigrant was snubbed by the old Jewish inhabitant. Jews from different cultures and countries had little in Common with one another. Jewish religious leaders wore disturbed by this state of affairs. A group of 12 decided to do something about it—to form an organization that would have as its goal the uniting of all Jews "in the work of promoting their highest interests and those of humanity . . . " The success of B'nai B'rilh lies mainly in its ability to adapt itself to circumstances, in its adherence to a simple, basic objective, and in an unwavering devotion to the spiritual nnd human welfare of the Jewish race. Like a wise and understanding p a r e n t , B'nai IJ'ritli has drawn its far-flung family together, helped to preserve its religious traditions, to make it a constructive part of the community. It has, in the worlds of its original constitution, sought to unite Israelites "in the work of promoting their highest interand those of humanity; of developing and elevating the mental and moral character of the people of our faith; of in-
culcating the purest principles of philanthropy, honor and patriotism . . . " It all beffan hi Hie fall of 1813. On Nov. 12, 1813, that little band of ni''n routed tin? M a s o n i c Hoom at the corner of Oliver and Henry Streets, for two dollars a n ig h t and jubilantly formed N'cw York Lodge No. 1 —slill incxistenre . . . The first name of the new lodj;e was "Bundcs-Brueder," a German term for "League of Brothers." But an alternative title, "The Independent Order of B'nai B'rith" (The Independent Order of the Sons of the Covenant) was soon adopted, as of more appropriate religious significance. In 1930 the name was shortened to simply B'nai B'rith. Hie founders wore strict in their standards for membership. Cntriitlifulness in any degree was not to be tolerated. Even the physically disabled w e r e barred in those early days, on the ground that the building of a sound organization called for vigor and stamina. The original motto of B'nai B'ritli is the same today, "Benevolence, Brotherly Love and Harmony." It can never be said that B'nai E'rith is set in its ways. As an organization it has had few dull moments in its history; never any idle ones. It has demonstrated its usefulness in practical ways. When it has seen a need, it has moved to meet that need.

Membership Drive Chairman Speaks From Lou Sobrin, recently named chairman of the Greater Omaha B'Nai B'rith Membership Drive comes this message: B'Nai B'rith continues to cook with gas. If we continue to "hock you a chanick", it is because we love the work we do and think that you should too, Midst the strife nnd turmoil of a troubled world, confronted with anti-thi.3 and antl-Uiat, B'nai B'rith shines through as a tolling giant taking gargantuan strides forward in the cause of human rights. Sometimes the giant succeeds, sometimes he does not; but ho always leaves his mark. All too often the lack of success is due to a shortage of funds, a shortage of members or a shortage of dedicated workers. Where do you stand? Are you a member? If you nre, are you active? Are your dues paid up to date? If you aren't a member, will you let us tell you why you should be one? Inactive members who would like to become active should come to a meeting and declare themselves. There Is much to be done. May we count on you?
