Chairman Phil Dryer, president

CINDER A Il HoNoRs

Just helping the team" Is the
way Bobby Herndon-Robert Hern-
don, Jr. puts it in relating his par
ticipation in the track meets. His
team, Portland University, met
Western Washington at Belling-
ham, Linfield and willamette. Bob
reluctantly acknowledged having
won list place in 220 yd dash, 100
yard dash and 220 yard low hur-
die.
Bob is a senior in the college of
engineering at Portland University.
About his career, Bob had this
to say II decided long time ago,
when I was a kid of IA that 1
wanted to become an engineer.
So I carried the proper subjects
in high school in order that 1 would
be ready for college, if 1 got the
break. I graduated from high
school in Springfield, Illinois in
the spring of 1947. I was lucky
enough to make the honor roll and
get a commencement citation. They
said it was because 1 earned
mostly AS and graduated 4th in a
class of 1875. 1 also played in the
school band and orchestra and ran
on the track team"
Aside from his school activities,
Bob is the master mind the di-
rector of the very fine Young
Peoples choir of Bethel A.M.E.
church.
He is the one and only son of

NEW YORK, (JTA)-The 36th
annual convention of Hadassah
concluded here with the adoption
of a $7,035,0OO budget, the ap-
proval of a resolution opposing
the internationalization of Jerusa-
lem and supporting the plan pro-
posed by Israel for United Ma
tions supervision of the Holy
Places alone without any inter-
ference in the affairs of the
peoples of Jerusalem.
The convention also voted to
raise $1,O00,OOO next year = in
addition to the budget = as part
of a special three-year building
fund goal of $3,5OO,OOO approved
by the convention earlier for the
erection of new medical center
in Jerusalem. Mrs. Samuel w.
Halprin was reelected president of
Hadassah for fourth consecutive
term.
The Test in Asia
Addressing a dinner at the
Waldorf Astoria which climaxed
the convention, Ambassador Abba
S. Eban of Israel told the au-
dience that democracy must
prove itself" to the masses in
Asia not only as the agent of their
freedom, but also as the instru-
ment of their welfare.
Israel, looking out beyond the
frontiers of it's own democratic
revolution, asks itself whether its
achievement may not have wider
significance than we ever suspect
ed ourselves" he declared. "By
our example we proclaim the ca
pacity of a democratic system,
even in the least promising and
abundant conditions, to assure to
nation it's effective defense, its
cultural revival, it's social progress
and the full dignity of construc-
tive achievement. l believe that
this is our chief service to democ-
racy."
Arabs Flayed
Turning to the problems of
Israel-Arab relations, Mr.. Eban
noted that the effort of the Unit
ed Nations to effect peace be-
tween Israel and her Arab neigh
bors had failed because of the
Arab refusal to accept procedures
laid down by the U.N. Palestine
Cancellation Commission which
looked toward a final peace eff
fort.
