A LAND AND WATER USE PLAN (+)

A cardinal requirement, for full and lasting de-
veopment, is a land and water program for the
whole region This to include soil conservation,
sion control, ground water restoration, stock water
facilities, needed drainage, improved farm methods and
general watershed management plan to increase pro-
duction, prolong reservoir life and decrease flood
crests. To meet these needs the U.S. Department of
Agriculture has prepared the Brannan Plan for Land
and Water Use. This plan has not been acted by
Congress, but approved by Missouri Basin Inter-
agency Committee, despite opposition by Army Engi
and Bureau of Reclamation. This plan, and
such progress has made is another distinct step
toward the MVA idea

In expressing the general displeas-
ure of the landowners of the area
with the vital supreme court decision
which has placed their ownership of
land in such dire jeopardy, Horsford
quoted from talk given by Lincoln,
in which the Great Emancipator said:
"The candid citizen must confess that,
if the policy of the government upon
vital questions affecting the whole
people is to be irrevocably fixed by
decisions of the Supreme Court, the
people will have ceased to be their
own rulers, having to that extent
practically resigned their government
into the hands of the eminent tri-
bunal :"
"That was in 1861" said the tax
title association official, "and, here
in 1862, the issue is still unsolved {. ;"

The cry of water shortage for original Pick-Soan

first raised by MVA Regional Engineer Jerome
G. Locke For two years, more, it was cry IN the

eight Independent engineer reports, the Hoover
Commission, Water Resources Policy Commission and
the report Adequacy of Flow issued by the Missouri
Basin Interagency Committee. 1t tacitly admit
ted by Corps of Engineers in releasing from their de-
mand about two million feet of flow for naviga-

Leader, Dies in LA.

LOS A N ELES - Western
states Jewry this week mourned
the passing of one of it's most de-
voted leaders, Judge Irwin Stall
master, president of the Western
States Region of the American As
sociation for Jewish Education. He
was 55.
A tireless worker in the Los
Angeles Jewish community and the
Western states, Stalmaster served
on dozens of projects from the
time he arrived in Los Angeles
from Omaha Is years ago. His ac-
tivities ranged from the board of
directors of the Los Angeles Jew
ish Community Council and chair
manship of the speakers bureau of
the United Jewish Welfare Fund to
the general budget committee of
the Community Chest.
Recognition came early in life
when at the age of 80, he was ap-
pointed judge of the district court
by the governor of Nebraska. He
was then the youngest person ever
to hold such a position in the Unit
ed States.

The Jews of the world
mourned this week the
passing of Chain Weiz-
mann, first president of
Israel and the man who
led his people back to
their homeland. He died
last Sunday at 78 in his
home at Rehooth. Weiz-
mann's death occurred
just five years to the
month after the estab-
lishment of the Jewish
state. He was a distingu-
ished scientist as well as
t h e worlds foremost
Zionist leader and state
man. His chemical dis
coveries helped the AL
lies achieve victory in
both World Wars. Fu-

Council.
Cash Given UJA
Meanwhile, Council President

A New Congregation Is Born
BY Lou Jaffe

MESA - About four years ago,
in a jewelry store on the main
street of this thriving Arizona
town, young man greeted sales
lady with "Shalom Alachem," and
thereby the seed was sown for the
growth of a Jewish congregation.
The young customer was Jonas
Schleifer, and he was seeking the
advice of Miss Blanche Marks on
the purchase of piece of jewelry.
But during their conversation they
considered the idea of a Jewish
community.
Now, after missionary work since
late JAM, 1949, Congregation Beth
Shalom of Mesa holds deed on it's
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1952-11-14

worked out this week.
Broad outlines of the plan were
laid down in meeting of Welfare
Chairman George Wolf with Rabbis
Harry q. Schectman of Congrega-
tion Beth Ell and A. L. Krohn and
Morton G. Fierman of Temple Beth
Israel. The program calls for intro
ducing the subject of modern Jew
ish philanthropy into the curricula
of the religious schools, focusing
discussions on the local welfare
fund.
Welfare fund leaders hope thus
to convey = through Jewish child
rem to their parents - the urgency
of providing sufficient money each
year for the United Jewish Appeal
and other components of the well
fare fund.
Activities Planned
Plans for a series of activities
along this line from mid-December
to February were discussed last
Sunday at a luncheon meeting of
faculties and administrators of the
religious schools. The meeting was
held at Beth Ell.
The welfare campaign is sched-
uled to get under way in the third
week of January. Wolf asked all
Jewish organizations to refrain
from planning major or fund-rais-
ing activities from then through
February.
The slogan for this years drive
is "33 Causes in l Campaign" re-
flecting the fact that with this one
Embarrassing effort the community
can meet the demands of 33 agen-
cies and thus avoid the inconven-
ience and expense of multiple solic-
itations.
Kempner Heads Unit
New personnel selections for the
drive include Jack j. Kempner as
chairman of the general solicita-
tions division formerly the Metro
Division) and Matthew ]. Ritchie
to head up the manpower division.
The latter group is in charge of
recruiting drive workers.
Wolf is meeting also with ID
subsection leaders of the newly
created trades and industries divi-
sion, which will solicit business and
professional groups.
