praise the work of CJA.
Mrs. Roosevelt lived up to
her promise of dressing in
formally. She came wearing
a checked house DRESS low
heeled white shoes and a
light brown sweater was
draped over her shoulders.
Around her neck she wore an
antique silver necklace given
to her by Henry Morgenthau
Jr.
It was evident that Mrs.
Roosevelt had not come out
of her vacation 'hideout' at
the Arizona Inn to show off
her clothes. She had come to
lend her support to Jewish
charities.
ooh, what a wonderful
thing it is," Mrs. Roosevelt
said, "for people in a desert
country such as this to lend
their help to the people in
the desert country of Israel.
Each time 1 60 to Israel 1 am
amazed at the wonders the
Israelis are creating in the
desert. On my last trip visit
ed a KibbutZ near Eilat and
I was astonished at the prog
reSs made there.
81 could not believe that
they would be able to turn
the desert into a green, pro-
ductive garden. Their work is
most amazing"
Asked what she believed to
be the most pressing need of
the ISraelis today, the 76-
year-old Mrs. Roosevelt said:
"Oh, 1 should say their great
est need is for reSettlement.
They have so many immi-
grants who are in need of
new homes. I should think
this is their most pressing
problem. They must be reset
tied from their temporary
shelters, their ma'aborot."
After Mrs. Roosevelt chat
ted with men and women
leaders of CJA in the music
room of the Center, she took
a brief tour of the Center ia
cilitieS.
AS she walked through the
north hallway, she remarked:
what a wonderful facility
you have here in this Center" +"
In the auditorium Mrs.
Roosevelt was told that just
last year her son, Jimmy,
had helped open the 1860
Combined Jewish Appeal.
"Oh, is that so?" Mrs.
Roosevelt said with a smile.
isn't that wonderful"
AS she walked near the
playground of the Center's
nursery and kindergarten,
Mrs. Roosevelt smiled broad
ly. She stopped to watch the
children in the playground
and then she walked into a
classroom where youngsters
were at work drawing.

1--WE are heartened by the

that every other division still

addresses by Israeli and
Hollywood movie star Elana
Eden, Sen. William ProXmire
of Wisconsin and Tucson
Mayor Don Hummel.
The charming, dark eyed
Miss Eden told the group the
definition of an Israeli Sah-
bra. 1T is like the cactus
you have in this country"
she said with a haunting
smile. 1T is tough on the out
side and sweet on the inside.
And that is what the native
born Israelis are"
Mayor Hummel told the
men that Israel needs all
your help, all the capital you
can give it. If they get the
help, the United States will
have a great ally in the Mid
die East"
And Sen. Proxmire, open
ing with acid-tongued barbs
at Arizona Senator Barry
Goldwater, had great praise
for ISraePS work in leading
democratic assistance to the
countries of Asia and Africa.
Miss Eden," the Wiscon-
sin senator said at the open
ing of his talk, "has recently
signed with Goth Century
Fox. And 1 underS a d
that Senator GoldWater has
signed with 18th Century
Fox"
Turning to Israel, Sen.
ProXmire said: Israel is
unique in its area of the
world for it is the only
country there that has free,
really free, elections. 1t is a
true democracy. What a con-
trast it is to Communism and
to FasciSm.
This is Israel'S Bar MitZ-

survival of the worldly with

The Municipal Court of Ap-
peals has rejected q husbands
contention his wife should get
no alimony because she waited
81 years to ask for the support
The Courts reason: He waited
at least 1901 those years be-
fore seeking the divorce that
prompted her request.
The case involved a suit for
divorce, based on five years
voluntary separation, filed in
1859 by the husband, a ST.
year-old Western Union mes
senger.
The couple. the appeals court
said yesterday, was married in
1888, had two children and sep
arated voluntarily in 1888. The
husband supported the children
but not the wife afterward, the
court said.
In 1916, court records showed,
she was judged of unsound
mind and committed to a men
tai hospital. Twelve years later,
in 1858, she was certified OF
sound mind and released.

21-year wait should not bar the
wife's claim. The husband could
have filed his divorce suit as
early as l943, the court said.
The wife, now a maid at q
Washington hotel, told Domestic
Relations Court Judge John H.
Burnett in June, 1860. that she
made $45 a week. and, for
health reasons. did not know
whether she could continue to
support herself.

Judge Burnett's award of $40

President Kennedy asked
Congress today to give the JUS
tice Department an extra
$1,l58,000 for a stepped-up
drive against organized crime
and an intensified fight on ju-
venile delinquency.
The White House said the
President asked an extra $540,-
900 for general legal activities
of the department TO permit
Attorney General Robert F..
K ennedy, the Presidents
brother, to hire additional at
torneys in the criminal divi-
sion.
The other portion of the in
crease, $618,000. would go to
the Bureau of Prisons to en-
large the fight on juvenile de-
linquency.
THE prime objective of this
effort" the White House an
said, will be to
help juvenile and youthful Of
tenders about to be released
from Federal institutions re-
turn to normal community life.
Emphasis will be placed on vo-
cational training, counseling
and job placement.
Juvenile and youthful Of
tenders in Federal institutions
now number 5000 and the
number is increasing annually.
A great step forward in COM
batting juvenile delinquency can
be achieved through successful
re-direction and re-education
Of this most vulnerable group"
The Presidents request to
Congress would raise the fiscal
1862 budget for the Justice De-
partment's general legal activi-
ties from $15,120,000 to $15,-
$50, 900. and for the Bureau of
Prisons from $46,500,0OO to

young men and women were
culled from this group to be
taken to German work camps.
The remaining 900, he said,
