Give To Conquer Caneer!"

The rallying cry of the 1851 Cancer Crusade
launched nationwide April l, by the American Cancer
Society is a triple slogan that Society officials feel should
be a ''challenge to everyone"
Guard your family. Strike back! Give to conquer
cancer" has been adopted as the official appeal to ap-
pear on millions of pamphlets, posters, in the press and to
be heard on the radio from coast to coast. 4
General William j. Donovan, chairman of the A
merican Cancer Society Board of DIRECTORS, said the mes
sage was chosen after considering how universal the
cancer problem has become. Zone out of every five per-
sons will have cancer, if present rates continue" Il
The appeal is aimed at the family. Donovan said,
"Cancer, over the years will develop in every second home
in America. That is a startling fact but there is much that
we can do to protect ourselves. Everey year thousands
is known of these victories. A
Most of us have learned about the disease from
advanced cases. Months of care and treatment, heavy
expenses, pain and need may create cruel problems. The
patient and his family share a heavy burden.
"This gloomy picture hides the fact that today
half of those who develop cancer could and should be
cured by early diagnosis and prompt treatment. For the
other half cancer research is a race for life itself. The
success of on research program depends in a large de-
gree on the financial support given to the Cancer Crusade.
"Our appeal Give to Conquer Cancer is an OPP
pOrtunity for everyone to strike back, it offers us all
a constructive avenue of action"
More money than ever before will be needed by
ACS this year. The $13, 900, 900 raised in 1850 cannot
meet the needs in research and education.
"Scarcely half of the research that could have been
supported %fruitfully,' Donovan said, twas given the funds
most early cancer can be cured while late cancer means
almost certain death. But still only about half the people
know even one of the seven danger signals.
eve know that no one can afford to neglect can
GER. And we feel now that there is no one in this nation
who can afford to neglect the 1851 Cancer Crusade"

Israel No Spokesman

NEW YORK, (JTA)-Premier
David Ben Gurion of Israel, in a
statement last week clarifying the
stand of the government of Israel
on it's relations with American Jew
ry, emphasized that Israel "in no
way presumes to represent or
speak in the name of the Jews
who are citizens of any other coun-
try"
He said that while Israel
wanted and would welcome immi-
grafton of American Jews as tech
nicians and pioneers, "the decision
as to whether they wish to come
permanently or temporarily rests
with the free discretion of each
American Jew himself. 1t is entirely
a matter Of his own volition."
The statement, a message from
Ben Gurion to Israel Ambassador
Abba S. Eban, was made public
here to clarity apparent misunder-
standings. In it, Ben Gurion de-
fined the term, "Ingathering of
Exiles," and declared that "this
historic phrase from our literature
accurately describes the curren t
phenomenon of Israel's life which
is the spontaneous and wondrous
conveyance upon Israel of Jews in
need of home and freedom"
Only Wants Us Free
"The phrase cannot be regarded
as implying that American Jews

raels borders," he added. with
reference to American Jewry the
position will thus remain as before,
namely, that Israel will cooperate
directly on matters affecting it.
self with all Jewish organizations
desirous of such cooperation. Such
direct relations of the government
of Israel with Jewish bodies and
organizations will naturally be CO.
ordinated with the Jewish Agency"
Must Remain Strong
The premier declared that "the
government and the people of Is
rael fully respect the right and in
tegrity of the Jewish communities
in other countries to develop their
own mode of life and their indigo
nous social, economic and cultural
institutions in accordance with their
own needs and aspirations. Any
weakening of American Jewry, any
disruption of it's communal life,
any lowering of it's sense of Sc
curity, any diminution of its status
is definite loss to Jews every
where and to Israel in particular.
"The very freedom and security
of American Jews is to us a guar
antee that those of them who may
feel morally impelled to participate
personally and directly in the build
ing up of Israel will be able to do
so. Our success or failure depends
in large measure on our cooper
alton with and on the strength of
the great Jewish community of the
United States and we, therefore,
are anxious that nothing should be
said or done which could in the
slightest degree undermine the
sense of security and stability OF
American Jewry."

Q LAUNCH
rive Plan
1852 Welfare
Campaign To
Be Discussed

A full-dress discussion of
plans for the 1852 United
Jewish Welfare Fund cam
paign will mark a meeting
of the Jewish Community
Council board of directors
n ext Wednesday evening,
Oct. 81.
The meeting will be held in the
ballroom of the new Jewish Center
at 2211 N. Central. Invited to the
session, besides Council board mem
bers, are the presidents of all Jew
ish community organizations, board
members of the Center and of the
Jewish Social Service and person
mel of the Resettlement Committee.
Newton Rosenzweig, president of
the Council, said it takes at least
three months for planning and or
ganization of campaign machinery,
although work on campaigns goes
on continuously at the Council of
fices.
It's Big Business
Discussion will center around
chairmanships of campaign divi-
sions along with pre-campaign
budgeting, the women's drive and
related topics.
"The Welfare Fund and the
Council constitute big business"
said Rosenzweig. "It's about time
we started running our campaign
in a business-like way. There is
no excuse for the kind of informal
organization that has marked our
previous campaigns. We should
have all our chairmen and major
policies set no later than Nov. 5
in order to insure a successful
campaign.
"There are enough persons with
leadership ability in this commun-
ity. We simply must learn how to
use each other properly for our
major community purposes. l am
calling on every Council board
member, every organizational pres
ident and every major committee
member to be present without fail
at the meeting"
Those attending were asked 10
enter the Center grounds via the

James ForreStal
SOftened Toward
Israel, Is Claim

NEW YORK, (JTA) - Publica-
tion of the memoirs of the late
James A. Forrestal, secretary of
defense, does him a "grave in
justice" insofar as it depicts his
position on the Israel-Arab con-
flict, the New York Post said in
an editorial last week.
Forrestals basic position, the
paper declared, was that the United
States had more to gain by appeas-
ing Arab aggressors than by de-
Tending the embattled Israelis. "He
seemingly felt that anyone who dis
agreed with him was either an
'emotionalist' or a cynical politi-
clan seeking Jewish votes and con-
tributions. That view is crudely
stated in his DIARIES"
The paper added that "in numer-
Gus private conversations before his
death, Forrestal voiced deep re-
morse over the stand he had taken.
1t had been based on huge miscal-
culation of military (as well as
moraD intelligence; the certainty
that Israel could not resist Arab
attack and that, by providing JUS
tice for Israel, we would merely
lose strategic Arab support without
winning anything"
1t declared that Forrestal Finally
glimpsed the dimensions of his er-
ror. 1t is tragic that he never cor
rected the written record and that
his name will be identified with
the cruel and bitter words that
have just been published"

A Letter An Idea "A Drive

Ell and Beth Israel, are being asked to collect
as much paper and as many pencils as they can
and bring them to Sunday school that day for
shipment to Israel. Council members will collect
the materials, package them and send them off.
When letters start coming in from Israeli
children, the women of the council will deliver
them to the Sunday schools.
Mrs. Harold Roth, chairman of the committee
in charge said the drive will accomplish three
things: Make needed materials available for
school work in Israel, give Phoenix children the
'thrilp' of participating in an international pro-
ject of goodwill and contribute to good citizen
ship on both sides of the world.
This" said Mrs. Roth, "will be an investment
in future understanding between the citizens-tO-
be of the two countries, both dedicated to the
survival of the free world and the preservation
of friendship among all peoples"

When little Israeli girl wrote letter few
weeks ago. she set off chain of events reaching
all the way to Phoenix.
The little girl addressed her letter to the Ma
ti0nal Council of Jewish Women. Very politely
she asked if it would be possible for Americans
to send some paper and pencils to her and her
items-taken for granted by American school
children-are scarce in Israel. And she said, the
Israeli children would be glad to use the paper
and pencils to write letters to American children,
by way of reciprocation.
The little girls letter gave the Council of
Jewish Women an idea. AS result, local Sec
tions of the Council are conducting drives for
paper and pencils all over the country. The PhOe-
nix section has designated Sunday, Nov. A, as
its "Paper and Pencil Day."

Israel, Not Russia,
Is Big, Bad Wolf
Worrying Egyptians

WASHINGTON, (JTA)-Egyp-
tian Foreign Minister Saleh Ed-Dln
Pasha told the U. S. News and
World Report, in an interview pub
lished last week, that the Egyptian
government is "not as concerned
about the supposed threat to Egypt
from Russia, which seems more dis
tant to us, than the existing occupa-
ton of our soil by Britain and the
immediate threat by Israeli.
"After ALL" said the Egyptian
minister, "the Israelis talk quite
freely of building an empire from
the Euphrates to the Nile. How
do you expect US to remain indif-
ferent as long as you permit such
people to ignore the decisions. OF
the United Nations and to do what
they please?"
Stranger In The House
Saleh Pasha said Egypt would
not cooperate with the West in
a regional defense pact unless the
West changed its attitude toward
Israel. Asked about the possibility
of an understanding between Israel
and the Arab states, he replied:
"Let us put it this way: some,
body comes into your house and
settles down in a room uninvlted,
unwanted. Some strong people say
YOU must keep him in your house.
But they cannot force you to be
friends with the man who has
moved into your house and driven
you out of part of it. 80,
eve do have an armistice with
Israel. That is practical peace, but
not peace with Israel in the sense
of accepting their unwanted pres
ence in our house"
