in Federal funds under the
Hill-Burton Act. Approval of
the funds came Tuesday at
a meeting in Phoenix of Tue
sonans and the State Board
of Hospitals.
Representing the Jewish
Community Council were
Sen. David Wine, William
Gordon, J. C. Fruchthendler,
Marvin H. Volk, Bernard ].
Friedman and Benjamin N.
Brook.
The granting of the match
ing Federal funds was the
last major obstacle before
the project and Tucson lead
ers hailed the grant which
will be given during a one
year period.
Leaders in the Nursing
Home project say it will take
about three months for the
completion of architects
plans and then bids will be
let for the 40-bed home.
Ground would be broken
about April 1 at the site near
the Tucson Medical Center.
The land at Rosemont and
Grant was donated by the
Charles Wilson family.
Mr.. Brook, executive direc-
tor of the Council, said he
believes the Nursing Home
will be in operation "in the
latter part of 1862"
The Nursing Home is the
first project of its type to be
undertaken by the Council.
But over two years of study
of the needs of the aged pre-
ceded the Embarrassing drive
which opened last spring.
Mr.. Brook pointed out that
there are still some openings
for the endowment of rooms
or equipment. Endowments
already have covered all four
wings of the Home.

WHEN A GERMAN mil

things there is a new hope.
For this same book was
published in 1885 and only
six months after its publica-
ton the dastardly Nurem-
berg Laws were put into
force and the Jewish Ger
man veterans honored in the
book were expelled from the
general German community.
The book quickly enflamed
NaZi wrath. 1t caused deep
embarrassment.
After all, the NaZis were
trying to convince the Ger
man people that the Jews
must be erased because they
were disloyal to their coun-
try. In World War l some
100000 Germans of Jewish
faith entered the military.
They fought, not for Juda-

Education
Boosting

DETROIT (JTA)-Sir John
Baggott Club, one-time COM
mander of Jordan's Arab Le-
gion, told the Detroit Eco
nomic Club this week that
there was little reason to
hope for a political settle
ment" of problems in the
Middle East.
The British general, speak
ing on the Middle East, made
no mention of Israel but did
give some comments on the
Israel-Arab situation in reply
to questions. He said, in re-
ply to one of the questions,
that firing on the ISrael-Jor-
dan border. which had been
frequent a few years ago, had
practically stopped because
people are cooling off. l
think it means that people
are saying, let's get this set
tied ;"
He attributed ISraePS sue
cess in solving its problems
to the high level of education
of Israelis, compared with
that of the Arab neighborS.
He said the Arabs also were
suffering because they were
Jealous of each other and not
united.
He was asked his opinion
as to the basic cause of Arab
hostility toward Israel and
replied that after World War
l, the Jews represented seven
per cent of Palestine'S popu-
lation and the Arabs thought
it was their. country. Now
one million who lost their
homes keep tn cir hatred

KiWunis on

By ROBERTA HORNIG
Star Staff Writer

The Kiwanis Club of North
west Washington doesn't have
"a corner where it can sell
Christmas trees any more be-
cause the District is reactiva-
ting a coming regulation ig-
nored for Is years.
The club for the last four
years has set up a Christmas
tree lot at Connecticut and
Nebraska avenues NV. to earn
money for its several philan-
thropfc activities, including
Children's Hospital and the
School Guidance Center for
emotionally disturbed young
sters.
In preparation for sales next
month, Roland Lamesdorf, past
club president, ordered $4,000
worth, or $50 bundles, of trees

Licenses and Inspections.
But this time he was turned
down. Last week Corporation
Counsel Chester Gray ruled
that tree selling is illegal I'M
less a certificate is obtained
from District licensing officials:
And, Mr.. Gray ruled further,
the necessary certificate can
not be issued for residential
neighborhoods.
Our office is sympathetic to
the Kiwanis Club but there is
nothing we can do" Assistant
Corporation Counsel Robert F.
Kneipp said yesterday.
Mr.. Lamesdorf argued that
the club should qualify for one
of the exceptions to the coming
regulation as a "philanthropic
institution"
But Mr.. Kneipp said that
under District law, "philan-.
thropic institution" is a place
of asylum supported wholly or
substantially by endowment or
contribution" e.

He contends the novel should
be treated like any other. and

He was arrested Thursday
after selling copy of the book

Citations which use the mails or
use interstate commerce to

called to his attention. He said
it was advertising savings in

MY information at that time
was that this insurance was of
doubtful validity, in that it was
not backed by any reliable

not insurance in the true sense
of the word. What assets it

indeed in Panama, we have
been unable to determine, "
Senator Beall said.
N oFederal legislation came
out Of the hearing. Senator
Beall said that Maryland ap-
peared about ready to adopt

that would take care Of the
