Group Is Formed
To Screen Drives
For Israel Funds

A committee on Control and Au-
thorization of Campaigns has been
established by the Jewish Agency
for Palestine, with the support of
the Israel government, to screen
all proposed campaigns in behalf
of Israel.
Repeated attempts are under
way by individuals and new or
ganizations to collect funds for
special and limited Israel pur-
poses," said an Agency announce
ment. ''These purposes are not al
ways valid and the claims put for
ward by the new organizations are
not always warranted by the facts.
"The net effect is to divert
important sums from certain le-
gitimate campaigns, particularly
that of the United Jewish Appeal
whose funds are the main support
of the great immigration, colonial
ton and absorption program in Is
rael."
Should Obtain OK.
All organizations intending to
hold drives have been asked to
seek authorization from the Com
mittee. Prospective donors are re-
quested, meanwhile, to "scrutinize
carefully the claims put forward
by canvassing groups. If in doubt,
they may contact the committee at
16 E. Goth St., New York 21, or
the Phoenix Jewish Community
Council at 915 N. 4th St.

New Community
Center Is Under
Way at Tucson

TUCSON = Arrangements have
been completed for a new Jewish
community center in Tucson.
Chairman Morris Shanhouse of
the Center Youth Committee said
an incompleted building has been
purchased on Tucson Blvd, just
south of East Broadway, and will
be ready for use within go days
after work is resumed on it.
In order not to impair the Com
bined Jewish Appeals campaigns
for Israel, Shanhouse and Joseph
Brindis bought the property in the
name of the Community Council.
The Council will give them a five
year mortgage at six percent.
Overall cost will be about $4,000.
Designed For Youth
The Center will be headquarters
for the Community Council and
Social Service Department. 1t will
contain meeting rooms and youth
recreation facilities. There also
will be outdoor sports facilities.
1t will cost the Council about
5000 a month in amortization and
interest, which will apply towards
the purchase price. This amount,
said Council officials, will not ex-
ceed the present expenditures for
the youth program at Congrega-
ton Anshei Israel and the present
Council offices.

ing energy in mobilizing maximum
resources" was passed.
Self-Sacrifice Asked
The critical need for removing
to Israel large numbers of Jews
from danger points in North AT
RIGA and the Near East moved the
1000 delegates to call for self
sacrifice on the part of local Jew
ish communities, and for the mobi-
lzation of maximum funds.
The resolution on the require
ments for 1850 called upon Ameri-
can Jews to contribute to the
United Jewish Appeal this coming
year on "a scale commensurate
with the minimum needs of its con-
stituent agencies-the Joint Dis
tribution Committee, the United
Palestine Appeal and United Ser
vice for New Americans. The con-
ference also set up a committee to
recommend quotas to local COM
munities.
Another resolution called on
American Jews to "exert unparal-
leled efforts to accomplish the
great tasks which history has set
before them" The resolution ex-
pressed distress at the fact that
almost 100000 Jews remain un-
housed in Israel" and that ''im-
pelling forces make it urgent. that
additional tens of thousands of
Jews be given speedy opportunity
to depart from various parts of the
world where to remain would en-
tail actual peril to their lives"
With a few dissenting votes, the
conference called on Jewish COM
munities in this country to recog-
nize that "the saving of human life
must take priority in the calendar
of American Jewish communal
planning" The resolution asked
the communities "as an act of
self-sacrifice" to defer campaigns
for capital funds for building pro-
jects.
Pact Proposed
However, if some local capital
projects are "inescapably urgent"
the resolution requested that funds
for them be raised outside the
framework of the Appeal. To as
sure the fullest response to the

to finance the library of the new
Jewish sponsored non sectarian
university at Waltham, Mass.
Mrs. Arnold H. Abelson of 3O1
w. Almeria Rd., president of the
Phoenix chapter, said membership
rolls are open to all women. The
library project will be financed
through annual membership fees
and life memberships in the COM
mittee.
Officers Named
Other officers of the local
group are Mrs. Samuel Langerman

dent; Mrs. Meyer Spitalny of 1887
w. Flower, treasurer, and Mrs.
Maurice P. Chester of 1893 Mer-

the Phoenix women has been laud-
ed by both DR.. A. l.. Sachar,
president of the school, and Rabbi
A. l.. Krohn of Temple Beth Is
rael, who is close friend of DR..
Sachar.
"The establishment of such a
university has been one of the
causes close to my heart for many
years." Rabbi Krohn wrote Mrs.
Abelson. 81 feel that many will
join you in becoming a vital in

In a circular soliciting member
ship in the committee which she
heads, Mrs. Abelson said:
"The Jewish people of America
have created Brandeis University
as their contribution to the edu-
cational wealth of the nation. Do
you realize that Protestants have
established more than 600 major
institutions of learning, Catholics
have sponsored some 200 and the
Negroes over 25? Brandeis is the
first university that is the sole

nNE HUNDRED and fifty
" years old this week, the
Naval Gun Factory has had
one change of name, many
historical ups and downs,
and come a long way from
the single purpose for which
1t was first established.
In 1873, when it looked like
war with France, the first
Secretary Of Navy, Benjamin
Stoddert. got Congress to ap-
prove the building Of a Navy
yard where warships could be
built. That first site-on the
Eastern Branch Of the Ana
costa River-consisted of IL
acres. Today the yard COM
prises 125 acres.
Work was begun, but when
the war failed to materialize
the then newly elected Pres
ident, Thomas Jefferson, cut
military budgets and the yard
was made q repository for
supplies.
The first superintendent Of
the yard was Capt. Thomas
Tingey, who has long figured
in q ghost legend at the yard.
After the outbreak Of war
with England in 1912 the yard
was abustle with the building
Of defense gunboats and the
conditioning Of ships already
built for service.

BY Stanley Baitz

The British sent a raiding
force ashore from q large
feet In the Chesapeake, broke
through the American de-
tenders at Bladensburg and
came to burn the White
House, the Capitol and other
public buildings, including the
Navy Yard. Capt. Tingey re-
ceived orders to burn the yard
to prevent its stores from
falling into enemy hands. He
delayed as long as possible,
but finally did it. His clerk,
Mordecai Booth, however,
managed by an incredible feat
of logistics to have most Of
the powder removed to q safe
place In Virginia.
The story goes that the
captain watched the burning
of his recent domain from his
gig on the way down the
river, and that vision may
have been uppermost in his
mind when, as legend has 1t,
he haunted the commandant
quarters for years-an eerie
figure in a long white night
shirt, gold-braided top hat.
pigtails and q brass spyglass.
The specter Is supposed to
have vanished when the Navy
Yard was renamed the
United States Naval Gun Fac
tory in 1915.
Evening star., 1949-09-25

The work Of rebuilding the
yard started in 1914 and the
work went on apace for years,
but because the Anacostia
River tended to silt up, the
Navy Yard gradually changed
the nature Of its work, be-
coming armorer to the feet
rather than shipyard. How
ever, development Of hull and
machinery work went on. In
the Civil War the Potomac
Flotilla operated out of the
yard. In 1883. when con-
struction of the new Navy
was begun, It fell to the yard
to supply guns, gun mounts,
ammunition hoists, shells
and torpedo tubes. On the
outbreak Of war with Mex
leo its task was to overhaul
and transfer the stock Of
slow-fire guns to "quick-fire"
gums change from -percus-
sion to electric firing.
Through World War I the
yard worked under heavy
load, and probably its most
outstanding job was the de-
sign and completion Of naval
railway guns intended for
long = distance shelling of
enemy lines in France. In
World War II all records for
naval weapon development
and manufacture were sur
passed.
Today the Gun Factory Is
performing services not even
dreamed Of by the original
planners Of the yard or by
the illustrious Capt. Tingey.
In addition to turning out all
manner Of fighting gear, its
versatile workers produce
gears for the Panama Canal
locks, molds for q new arti-
ficial eye, large-scale dental
plates for demonstration pur-
poses. steel claws for new
type artificial hands of plas-
tic. They also keep In condi-
ton the barge for the Wa
tergate band shell and main
tain the presidential yacht
and railway car. They built
the monorail car operating
underground between the
Capitol and the Senate Once
Building, and once even re-
paired the .elevating gears on
the Memorial Bridge.

WHITTED'5
LAST STAND
BY BILLY WHITFIELD

Now that we've moved, we can
tell you folks what we really think
about you.
Or should we-only 40 miles
separates uS-and that Amt far
by rocket ship.
But the truth Of the matter is
that we liked Tabor City ana its
citizens fine.
We've never enjoyed liv3:g in a
town more than we have here -
and that's the tluth--remembel
we didn't have to write this final
column if we hadn't wanted to.
The town has some faults, true,
and it has its share of c:anks.
But, you've heard the expression
that lit takes all kinds TO make a
world" and there's no reason Ia
Dor should make itself different
by drowning, the cianks.
Tabor has grown fast in the past
and there's no reason it can't con.
tinue to grow until it's the biggest
as we'll as the best town for miles
around.
You have advantages here that
other towns all over the two Caro-
linas would grab in a second ii
they had the chance.
All you've got to do is go to it.
Sounds like a speech at the an.
nual meeting of the Merchants
Association, doesn't it.
Well, we had to- say it here,
cause they shouted US down when
we tried TO talk at the association
banquet

Home on a visit with her par,
g IS, Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Joyner
of Tabor City, for the first time
since leaving for Europe in 1915,
Miss Judith Joyner told inter
viewers that she had neVe! really
appreciated the wealth, beatty and
freedom of America until her re-
turn from other countries less for.
tunate in ali these aspects.
Miss Joyner, who went tt
Europe, first to Holland. and then
to Germa, ny, with the American
Red Cross, became an Army de-
partment employee in 1947. witt
background in psychology an'
the German language, she wa:
soon appointed to the position o
EMPLOYEE Relations Officer foI
the $4,000 German employees O
the U. S. Forces in Berlin.
During her recent mcslth'5 leave
in the states, Miss Joyner visited
several places of special intereS
to herself She was a guest speak
er to the student body of Ap
palachian State Teachers College
where she graduated with honor:
in 1912, and to the young people
of Tabor City High School, where
, she taught the following year.
While in Europe, Miss Joynel
travelled extensively in Holland
Belgium, Germe':y, France, Swift
erland, Italy, England and Scot
land. Her work during the pas
two years has been largely witt
the German people.
She expresses faith, that glVer
strong and desirable leadership
and democratic educator, the
German people are potentially
democratic force for good II
Europe.
Asked if she felt insecure If
Berlin, Miss Joyner replied. Dur
ing this hot phase in the colo
stage of the war none OF us car
feel too secure anywhere in the
world. No one can over-estimatf
the seriousness of this critlca
phase through which we are no"
going. Though often stated,
doubt if man can realize that civ
