Jewish Groups Affock
Admission Of Ex.Nuxis

NEW YORK, (JTA)-Current
visa regulations under which ex-
Nazis may be admitted to the
United States were criticized by a
number of Jewish organizations as
"a severe setback to our demo
cratic way of life" in a memoran-
dunn submitted to the state de-
partment by six Jewish organiza-
tiOns.
The memorandum pointed out
that under existing law, all former
members of the Nazi Party may
be excluded. 1t maintained that to
do otherwise is in effect to give
preference in admissions to ex-
Nazis at the expense of anti-Nazis,
underground fighters against Hit
Ter, and others who were our allies
and sympathizers during the war.

National Par|ey
Spurs Hadassah
Work for Israel
BY Bertha Goldman
president, Phoenix Hadassah)

The 35th national convention of
Hadassah, the women's Zionist or
ganization of America, ended its
convention in San Francisco last
week.
For eight Phoenix women, mem
bers of the Phoenix chapter, it
was four days of exciting, stimu-
lating. and tiring activity. One can
easily see why the Hadassah work
er is known for her imperishable
ability to accomplish - workshop
sessions started at $3.50 am. and
ended at II pm.
Then the parties started, each
region and each big chapter the
host. These were the fun sessions
in which we listened to ourselves,
our leaders and our convention
harpooned in rhyme, song and skit.
Mrs. Halprin Talks
Among the most colorful eve
nings was the formal opening at
the San Francisco Opera House.
The panoply of United Nations
flags across the stage and the full
national board seated in formal
dress made a fascinating picture.
The dynamic, pint-sized national
president, Mrs. Samuel Halprin of
New York, delivered the finest ad-
dress of the convention and caught
my fancy for her beauty, her regal
bearing and her brilliant approach
to the entire subject of Zionist
life and Jewish life in the world.
Newly-appointed Secretary of
Interior Oscar Chapman represent
ed President Truman.
To say Eddie Cantor made a
sensation afternoon during the
Youth Aliyah workshop is fore
gone conclusion. The beloved
comedian raised $275,000 in one
year recently and all Hadassah
loves him for his devotion.
100 Beds In "a Hours
Martha Sharp, wife of a Uni
tartan minister and head of the
Christian movement, Children to
Palestine, ended the session with
talk.
Most impressive to me were the
medical sessions, so packed full of
information that / felt these alone
were worth travelling 1000 miles
to hear. DIR. Eli Davis, admins
trative head of all Hadassah Medi-
cal Organization work in Israel,
brought to light our medical work
with such stories as the 24-hour
creation of a 100-bed hospital in
one of the camps at the urgent
request of the Israel government.
His astounding figures of hospital
care costs in Hadassah hospitals
as less than one-half the cost of
comparative American hospital
care were a revelation to all.
Mrs. Bank Honored
The eight women who attended
from Phoenix include Mrs. Joseph
Bank, Mrs. Sophie Dickman, Mrs.
Joseph Gross, Mrs. Harry Horn
stein, Mrs. Norman Mendelsohn,
Mrs. Jacob Reichert and Mrs. Nor
ris Sundell.
We are singularly honored in
the Phoenix community as Mrs.
Bank, past Southern Pacific re-
gional president, was selected to
serve on the national service COM
mittee-one of 15 women in the
country so honored.

British Fonnent Pogroms, Council Told
Pastor Says
Collapse OF
Israel Sought

Rev. John Stanley Grauel,
handsome young Unitarian
minister who served aboard
the famous Jewish refugee
ship, Exodus 1947, charged
Wednesday night that the
British are fomenting po-
groms in Arab nations
neighboring Israel.
Their intent, he declared at the
annual meeting of the Phoenix
Jewish Community Council at
Temple Beth Israel, is to force
Jews out of these Arab countries
and into Israel "by the thousands. "
He said the British know that
Israel is already staggering under
its heavy economic burdens and
they hope the additional immigra-
ton will "break" the infant Jew
ish state.
Mr.. Grauel and Madame Pau
lette Oppert, a French Jewess who
saved hundreds of Jewish children
from the Nazis as an underground
worker in the war, addressed ar
dent appeals for continued finan-
cial aid to Israel.
Silverman Reelected
Nat G. Silverman was elected
for a third term as Council presi-
dent Dr. Joseph Bank was re-
elected 1st vice president, Albert
Whitefield End vice president and
Saul Mintz treasurer. The only
new officer chosen was Mrs. Ed
ward Friedman, secretary.
The council also reelected six
members Of the board of directors
for three-year terms and elected
four new members. The incumb-
ents are Harold Alpert, Ben Ellis,
Philip Friedlander, M. B. Goldman,
Jr., Joseph Gross and Archie Kro-
loft. The new members are Ar
mold Abelson, Martin Horwitz,
Philip Newmark and Jarvis Weiss.
In his report on the past years
activities, Silverman lashed back
at 'scoffers" who have decried the
fact that Phoenix United Jewish
Welfare Fund drive fell short Of
the 1913 mark. Many other COM
munities showed greater decreases
than Phoenix, he said.
"No one can convince me that
you didn't do a job last year-a
worthwhile job," said Silverman.
Apathy Scored
Madame Oppert said she return
ed from Israel to find "com-
plete lack of enthusiasm" among
u. S. Jews for the continuing
struggle over there. She con-
tinued:
"People say, why do we have
to carry on the UJA? They have
their state. When do we get Off
81 don't know. Pm ready to
keep on the rest of my life. You
haven't really sacrificed so far.
Now might be the first time you
have to sacrifice.
Following Mr.. Grauel's talk,
Doctor Bank, who is the 1949
UJWF chairman, presented him
with an $4,000 check for UJA,
representing paid-up Phoenix
pledges.

Business Federation
Plans Sales Program

The Federation of Businessmen's
Associations today was embarked
on a long-range program to keep
business in the District, rather
than letting it go to nearby Mary
land or Virginia.
A main point in the plan is to
keep as many District stores as
possible open Thursday nights for
the benefit of shoppers. It also
was suggested that parades and
celebrations be held periodically
to lure purchasers to shopping
areas.
Another point discussed was the
future prospects of underground
parking facilities for shoppers in
the downtown area. The matter
of placing such facilities under the
Mall and some parks often has
been discussed.
The meeting was the first un-
der the new administration of
Jerome Mckee, the groups new
president.
The Southwest Businessmen's
Association, a new organization,
was admitted to membership in
the federation last night, bringing
the number of member units to
81. An application for member
ship also was received from the
Washington Office Machine Deal
ers' Association. 1t will be acted
upon at the next meeting.

AGAINST Unification Bill
BY the Associated Press

President Truman declared to-
day it is perfectly absurd to say
that the Administration bill on
unifcation of the armed forces
would make a virtual dictator OF
the Secretary of Defense.
Mr.. Truman told a news con-
ference that as long as the Con-
stitution makes the President the
commander in chief, such a thing
could not happen.
A reporter had told him that
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee had
raised the dictatorship argument
against the bill advocated by Sec
retary Johnson.
Mr.. Truman said that was
perfectly absurd opinion.
Mr.. Vinson proposed to the
Armed Services Committee yes
terday that the services be slipped
from under the law permitting
the President to reorganize the
executive branch of Government
The Georgian said he wants tc
prevent the stablishment of a
single military chief of staff OF
a general staff over all the armed
| forces.

ANTI-HISTAaAlpaE VS.. the COLD
All this wonderful news has come
about through anti-histamine re-
search carried on throughout the
country. Various anti-histamine
produces were used in this research,
but all findings seemed clear on one
point. Colds e~s Be Stopped, in the
great majority of cases, if anti.
histamine treatment is begun within
an hour after appearance Of the
first cold symptom.
llaAlIEo SUPPlY-BUy AT ONCE
As soon as the news became gen.
orally known that Inhiston was
available, we were literally showed
under" with orders. We are pro-
ducing Inhiston just as fast as we
possibly can, and supplies are i'm.
proving. We hope to keep Inhiston
coming, for we know how terrible
it would seem for you to be without
Inhiston. when you feel a cold
coming on.
Meanwhile, make sure you insist
on ISbiston. We know of no other
product offered for public sale
which contains Inhiston's anti
histamine formula. That's why we
say-insiss on Isbistos and only
Inhiston, for your cold!
