Gale Dened: 1 think it ought
to spur the Tucson Jewish
community to set new records
in this years CJA campaign
so that we can help bring as
many Jews as possible from
behind the Iron Curtain.
MRS. BARBARA RUBEN,

blessings. They are forcing
them out in their own way,
but the Rumanian Jews are
fortunate in getting a new
homeland.

DOES FUND-RAIsING ability indicate the
strength of a community?
Professional flnd-rasers say there is direct
ratio between the two.
And we've been told that neither Tucson
Phoenix raise charity sums equal to amounts raised
in eastern and midwestern cities of the same size.
Tucson, this year, will seek to raise $4,000.
Phoenix seeks $32O2OO For both the sums repre-
sent record goals and that that Arizona cities
will attempt to raise than half-milon dol
lars for overseas, national and local charities
TucSOns campaign opened with over $13O,OOO
raised at two affairs. Some SO Tucson leaders gave
more than $4,000 at the first affair. By way of
comparison SO Phoenix leaders donated $4,000 to
kickoff their campaign.
BUT REACHING that goal of over half-mlion
dollars is something else.
The start was excellent. But will others live up
to their responsibilities?
Arizona Embarrassing drives the professionals
tell U.S. are hurt by two main factors: 1-Some old
timers are not in the habit of bg-gift giving; o.
Newcomers Arizona's Jewish communities
mostly made up of neWcomers-dont contribute
their share for various reasons.
The newcomers say they give at home, or they
say, "Next year"-this year they are not yet ad-
justed.
Fortunately we've had a fine showing in our
campaign from some newcomers. We hope the rest
will realize they are part of the Arizona commu-
nifty and must share and shoulder responsibilities.
ZDEKAH-They pass out high honors-you
know certificates, loving cups and plaques the
people who work hardest for charity and also give
the most.
But in the traditions of Judaism charity is
"Zedakah", which means righteousness. Of Jews
charity is expected thing by tradition and teach
ing 1t is our way of life. The plaques certificates
and loving cups shouldn't be needed.
And while we're on the subject of charity, I'd
like to pass on few valued quotations the sub
ject For instance
"Wealth is fleetng, honor winged, but charity
abdes"- Steinberg, Missile Yehoshua, 1885.
eff you have much give much; if you have little,
be not afraid to give according to that ttle for you
lay up good treasure for yourself against the day
of need. d."-Apocryphia Tobit, 4.8-1O.
"Nobody is ever impoverished through the Civ
ing of charity."- -Maimonides, 1180.
"What you give to charity in health is gold; in
Sickness is silver and after death, is copper
Tosafot Of the Pentateuch.
Spend not on charity more than fifth of your
wealth. "-Usfla Synod Talmud

"Shall we give up?
~NO!'' said ZOSia

moments peace about Krysia,' he once said to
his wife.
And then the unexpected happened:
The NOR ming of February 3, 1858, started like any
other day Lively, attractive Zosia BernacH was
preparng breakfast for her husband and their three
year.old daughter Krysa. She had just started the
coffee when she noticed that Krysia, who usually
tumbled out of her bed happily and chatted with
her father while he shaved, silent and looking
i'll Her blond curls we're clustered Imply around
a hot feverish face. Her temperature registered
lO4 and it shot up to 1867 in the OF the next
hour. The doctor diagnosed dangerous case OF
virus pneumonia.
Wladek and Zosa lived through frightening four
DAYS. Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, the
little girls temperature started to drop, and from
then on she began to recover rapidly Her illness
made profound impression on her father.
The sto+ Of II oil
AT some point during those four days when
Krysia's life seemingly was at stake, the young
architect made vow:
"H God lets US keep chiId,' he said, II
promise to do something to help other children"
4nd the children that came to mind 'UeTe those
of his otvn childhood - Poland
''Why not design a hospital for Polond9'' his
,oife suggested. ''YOu ,couId knOuc hoac to do it
- and YOU knOtU hour much it's needed!''
A month later, a neat architectural design OF a
modern American-type hospital was beginning to
take shape on Wladek Biernacki's drawing board
As the work progressed, Wladek's enthusiasm
increased He now remembered what he had once
been told by his neghbor in Montcair, Percival F.
Brundage, former Director of the Budget. Brundage
had said that the us. government has many millions
of dollars worth of zloys on deposit in Poland much
of it in payment for grain shipments sent under the
US Assistance Program of a few years ago.
Why not make some of these hitherto static funds
work for the children of Poland, the young archi-
tect asked himself? This would give firm founda-
ton to the project and the rest could be done by
the public
Thus began a one-man battle against the bureau
cratic machines of two countries. First there was
the lob of interesting officials of the State Depart
ment and, in particular, the international Coopera-
ton Administration. And then there was the job,
equally difficult of convincing the eternaly suspl-
cious government of Communist Poland that this
was not some kind of political Trojan horse
Talks with the State Department in Washington
came first Christian A. Herter, who was then
Evening star., 1959-12-20

Under Secretary of State, welcomed the idea and
suggested that the project be more fully developed.
The government would grant every possible help
and assistance.
On April %, 1853, less than two months since he
had first broached the idea, Biernach flew to Poland
He made the trip at his own expense in order to
survey existing medical facilities and to discuss the
project with the Poles He found that there was
pressing need for children's hospitals in nearly
every major city in Poland. In the old medieval
city of Krakow conditions even worse than
elsewhere, even though the University OF Krakow,
one of the oldest in Europe, possessed ne medical
faculty and nucleus of brilliant young doctors
There was also site available, 25O-acre tract on
the outskirts of town on high ground with fine trees
and adequate water supply.
At first the Polish Government was suspicious
But after three weeks of arduous negotiations the
Poles finally agreed to donate the Krakow site for
the project.
Biernacki returned to New Jersey in high spirits
and Immediately went on to Washington to report.
But there an unexpected hurdle had arisen. 1t
turned out that the Mutual Defense Assistance Con-
troll Act 1.-THE Battle Ac prohibited technical assist
ance to Communist governed countries. And the
shipment of building materials, medical instruments
and equipment for the proposed Pediatrc Center In
Poland came under the limitations of the Act. The
Battle Act would simply have to be changed the
young architect decided.
'T knew no Congressman and had no idea OF what
| was going to do Biernacki recalls, but could
not let the project down at this point"
Help from Congress
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, member OF the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and Chair
man of an International Health Study, was the first
to lend Biernacki his support. Congressman Walter
Judd, Clement Zablocki and Frank Thompson were
equally convinced. Together they agreed to study
the possibilities of introducing special legislation IN
order to exempt the project from the limitations OF
the Battle Act This would permit an initial appro'
priation of US funds, which together with private
contributions would promptly get the project rolling
This was hopeful enough, but in the meantime
difficulties started to pile up for Biernacki from a
new and unexpected direction. For many months
he had been commuter between Washington and
New York; his hotel and transportation bills were
staggering Four of his best craftsmen, diverted from
lucrative commissions, were working full time on the
project The hitherto prosperous firm was in the red
''ShaIl we give it all up?" he asked Zosia, after

having spent most of one night at his drawing board.
He looked worn out and depressed. She patted his
head tenderly. "Not on your life" she said. I'VE
will move to smaller house if need be, or shall get
lob in the mornings but we can't let those children
down. We have promised!' Wladek went back to
his drawings.
Last January he again went to Poland to show the
Polish officials his plans, completed, and to dis
cuss various technical details that progress IN the
construction would not be delayed by the comphca-
tons of the US legislation
I'VE like your design very much, said one Polish
official "rd like to initial it forthwith, but have to
ask YOU to make one small change first. Will you
please eliminate the design for the chapel its
superhuous"
Wladek was indignant. ri collected the drawings,
bucked up my briefcase and prepared to leave with
out a word, he recalls.
"Where are you gong?" asked the Polish oftl'
cial 'To Ne,U York; ans,Uered WIddek. poland
is a Catholic country and need Gods bIessi"gtor
this project There uCiH be hospital 'ritIlOWt
a chapeI!'' That ended the argument and from then
on the plans were enthusiastically endorsed.
Everybody pitches in
The amendment was passed by full House of
Representatives by vote of 27l to l42. Senators
Humphrey and Harrison Williams piloted it through
the Senate and President Eisenhower signed it.
This released us. Government funds to start the
construction in Poland. At the same time COM
mittee launched an appeal for private donations of
medical supplies, hospital equipment and drugs
The response was immediate Manufacturers OF
building materials Lighting fixtures, drug companies
and surgical instruments came forth with pledges
of help The Polish government - now fully CO.
operating with the project promised to transport
equipment to Krakow without charge.
By now Wladek Poray- -Biernacki has spent more
than $4,000 of his own personal funds on the
project. He had to move his Office to less exPen-
sive location and he has been working nights and
week ends. But his spirits are high. For soon, on
popIar-lined campus overlooking the winding Wis
tula River, the Carpathian Mountains beyond,
glistening, 4OObed, gass-encased hospital will be
standing. 1t will have everything modern science
can give to assist the welfare of a child.
Looking fondly at his dimPled, blond little
daughter and her ten-months-ol brother the new
est addition to the Biernacki household - Wladek
thinks that the two.year ordeal has been worthwhile
He held on to his dream and it proved powerful
enough to pierce even the Iron Curtain The End

Anti-Jewish Note,
Arrows on Lawn
Laid to VunduIs

An arrow with an anti-Sem-

found on the lawn of a Be-

The home is that Of Edward

newspaper chain and reporter
for United Press International

Mr.. Scripps, who also is vice
president Of Sigma Delta Chi

believed the arrows and note
were the work of juvenile
pranksters. He told Mont
gomery County police he has
lived there only since Septem-

been directed against former
occupants Of the house, who
were Jewish. They had reported
previous vandalism.
Police agreed that juveniles
probably left the two 28-inch
rubber-tipped arrows and also
inflicted about SIS damage to

BeIvoir Sentry's Death
Held Probable Suicide

The Christmas night death
of a young Fort Belvoir sentry
has been ruled a probable
suicide" Army oficials said last
night.
The body of Special 4/c Har-
old G. Davis, jr., 81, was
found, shot through the head,
in a warehouse area Of the
base near his sentry post about
9:15 pm. Friday.
His MI rifle and five spent
cartridges were found nearby
He had been shot once in the
mouth at close range.
Investigators are still trying
to determine If there is a link
between the death and the
wounding of David L. Pinkston

struck a car in which he was
riding with a companion near

Assembly Hall Permits
Public assembly halls that
can hold more than 100 per-
sons will be required to get
permits. Churches and schools,
however, will not need permits.
The churches and schools
will be inspected, as will apart
ment houses. In the past, fire
inspectors have made regular
rounds. Under the new code,
every business or commercial
enterprise with a permit will
be inspected four times a year.
The permit fee is $40 except
for blasting and bonfires, which
will cost SIS.
No special rules will apply to
trash fires at private homes,
except during the brush fire
season, when all burning is re-
stricted. The new code does
require, though, that all open
fires be tended until they are
burned out.
