Chess-PIoyine Economist
New Brazilian Ambassador
By BETTY BEALE

The new Ambassador of
Brazil arrived in Washington
late Wednesday evening and
promptly Thursday launched
his ambassadorial stay with
a whirlwind of conferences
which would seem to be the
story Of his life.
Roberto de Oliveira Campos.
who is a month older than
John F. Kennedy. is a brilliant
economies scholar who en-
tered the diplomatic service
in 1899 and has served on one
important commission after
another, starting with the
Breton Woods Conference of
1914. More recently he was
president Of BraZil'S National
Bank for Economic Develop
ment. and last year AmbaSSa-
dor in charge of financial
negotiations in Western Eu-
rope.
He could be a wealthy man
had he accepted one of the
many big offers he has re-
ceived from important busi-
ness firms, said a colleague,
but he preferred to work for
his government.
HE SPEAKS FLUENT
ENGLISH. fluent French and
also knows German and Latin.
His knowledge of the latter is
so thorough that at the close
of his first child's baptismal
service, which was in Latin,
he good humoredly pointed
out to the priest a slip-up in
his Latin form.
His wife, Esteila Tambel-
lini Campos, described by
members of the Embassy as
"a very beautiful woman with
large brown eyes," also speaks
English fluently. And their
two eldest children, Sandra,
18. and Bob II, were born in
Washington. This gives them,
I believe. a chance to become
American citizens if they ever
want to.
Their youngest, a 5-year-
old boy named Luis-Fer-
nando. will come here with
his mother next month, but
the two older children will
finish their school year in
December-when their sum
mer vacation begins-before
coming up from Rio.
SANDRA is ALREADY
ENGAGED to be married to
a young physician of a prom
nent Rio family, so she may
not want to linger long in
Washington. Their wedding
will take place in May.
Both the Ambassador and
his wife like to dance and
both like to have classical
music playing in the back
ground Of their household.
Having had an apartment
right on the Avenida Copa
Cabana, which runs along
the ocean beach. the Ambas-
sador also like swimming,
but his fayorite 'ieisure-time
activity, by far, is that game
of brains-chess. The tougher
the opponent the better he
likes it and he will play un-
til the small hours in the
morning.
Mr.. CampoS was confirmed
by his Congress unanimously
with the exception of one
vote, which Is unusual in

stood out in his national
robes. He was the Chief of
Protocol of Togo, here on a
study visit, who said-ex-
planning his dress-"I didn't
expect to be invited to such
a function as this"
The visitor from Togo, Mr..
Robert Bob Matthia, has
come to learn the ways of
our protocol office, some of
which he'll put into practice
back home.
Togo's protocol office, con-
SiSting of a several-man staff
that. draws on the gendarmes
for help during a state visit,
was set up under the guild
ance of a United States dip
lomat. So it's already oriented
to the comparatively infor-
NAL American approach. Mr..
Matthia is especially inter-
ested in our security meas
ures, which are less obtrusive
and more diplomatic than
those now used in Togo.
Unique Experience
Last nights party was a
unique experience for Mr..
Matthia, he said, because in
his country the Foreign Min
lister doesn't entertain dur
ing a state visit. The second
night dinner is given instead
by the leaders of the munic-
ipality.
A woman guest at the
Rusks' dinner said to Pres
ident Abboud. Il hope you
will continue to enjoy your
visit here" WELL" the Presi-
dent replied, apparently re-
ferrng to his outSpoken talk
at the Press Club, II hope
I will continue to make con-
tributions."
President Abboud was ac-
companied by the eight Su-
daneSe officials travelling
with him, also the Hadaris

danese Embassy and Mrs.

to drape caskets of deceased

who were discharged under con-

or who served at least one en-

less discharged or released for
disability incurred in line of
duty.
The flags usually are given
to the next of kin, or to the
close friend or associate of the
veteran at the conclusion of the
services, Mr.. Fields said.

Social Security
Benefits May Be
Lost by Survivors

Thousands of dollars in So
cial security benefits may be
lost to a number of retired
workers or their survivors if
they do not apply for their pay
ments before the end of this
month, Edward F. Sullivan,
manager, of the Dover Social
Security Office, said today.
With 1861 amendments to the
social security law crowding the
changes of late last year from
the public eye, Sullivan said,
many people affected by the
1860 amendments have appar-
emily not yet learned of their
eligibility for payments.
These three groups were made
newly eligible for benefits be-
ginning with the month of Oc-
tober 1860:
/. Those persons made eligible
for benefits under the 1860
provision which reduced the
amount of work needed to
qualify for payments (now
even further reduced under
this years amendments).
2. Survivors of workers who
died between March 81, 1888, !
and January l, 1910. (These
benefits had been payable
only to survivors of workers
who died in 1910 or later. |
3. Aged dependent widowers of
women workers who died be-
fore September 1850, when
this type of benefit was not
payable.
Workers who have been to-
tally disabled for a year and
a half or more, and their de-
pendents, may lose some back
if they do not apply
for their social security bene-
fits before the end of Novem-
Der.
Under the law, social security
may be retroactive
for up to IL months, Sullivan
Therefore, for those
persons who became eligible for
payments in October of last
year, when most of the 1860
amendments went into effect,
each month of delay in apply
ing for their benefits will now
mean a months benefit lost.
Also, there are many aged
workers who have not applied
for benefits because they feel
they are now earning above the
maximum to be eligible for pay
ments, Sullivan added. They
may be wrong, he said, especi-
ally since new changes in the
law have been made. In fact,
they may be eligible for pay
ments for some months of 1861,
if not for the entire year.
Moreover, he pointed out,
even if they are not eligible
for payments now, by applying
now, they can receive their
benefits as soon as they do be-

In Soviet Union Today
Tails Is A Forbidden Word

be staying in the Soviet Union what we
had seen, ETC. His questions tumbled from
an Unsuitable curiosity and a delight in
being able to visit with us. With diff
Guilty we managed to ask few questions
ourselves.
We learned that this was the only syna-
gogue now in existence in Kiev, though
originally there were 138 He had no idea
how old the building was, but he remem-
bered it from long before the revolution.
On Saturday morning, he proudly told us,
there were sometimes as many as eight
minyanim, but on Rosh Hashanah over
1000 came, spilling over into the court
yard and the street beyond He, how
ever, like others we talked to, had no
idea how many Jews still remain in Kiev.
While talking, we noted that the siddur
he had placed so carefully on his seat
was yellowed with age. It's cover hung
by thread to the tattered pages His
companion in prayer was reciting from
memory, and neither man wore a tails.
Quietly we asked him, so that even his
friend might not overhear, if we could
bring tallis to the shul.
The old mans face suddenly went pale.
'I don't want to hear that word. Don't
mention a tails to me-" he cried, shak-
ing with fear. Don't talk to me of such
things" He turned from us, still quiv
ering, and resumed praying with fervor,
ignoring us completely.
1t seems that just a short time before
we arrived, another group of tourists had
visited the same synagogue Without say
ing anything they had unobtrusively left
talaisim on the ark. Unfortunately, word
of this leaked to the police, who confis-
Gated the forbidden ShaWls. Adding to
the Crime" of bringing in religious ar
ticles, the givers had foolishly stuffed
Zionist material in their folds, which was
discovered by the police. A number of
Kev Jews were held responsible for per-
mitting this to happen, and were in seri-
Gus trouble.
We left Kiev with heavy hearts. Our
ancestors had left it many years ago be-
cause of fear and oppression. The con-
clusions we drew were not happy ones.
The system may have changed, but the
climate of anti-JeWish bias still remains.

The Change In Jewish Life

long to the synagogue are many who
joined only to send their children to Sum
day School. They are little interested in
organized religious life, but they cannot
use the Sunday School without synagogue
membership, and they are anxious to raise
their children as Jews
Those who do not join SynagogueS at
all tend mostly to have fathers who are
either Orthodox or non-memberS them
selves. The majority of sons belong to
Conservative synagogues; the Reform
Temples have not picked up many new
members from the third generation, other
than those whose families already belong
The large majority of the young third
generation parents feel that children
should be made aware of being Jewish
because religious identity gives them sta
bility. Only a few argue that awareness
of Jewish identity is not necessary.
1t is interesting to note that SO per
cent of the third-generation sample dis
approve of intermarriage for their chill
dren as well. Some are Indifferent or
don't know how they would react to such
a hypothetical situation. Only 10 per cent
would actually give the intermarriage
their parental blessings, or at least accept
it E. Most of those who object to the
prospect of intermarriage suspect they
would accept it after it was a fait accom-
phi. Generally, mixed relationships re-
main peripheral to the third-generation'
social life, although they are growing in
number.
More sons than fathers engage in in
formal social relations with non-Jews,
and more sons than fathers belong to
mixed organizations. Sixty-nine per cent
of the fathers memberships are in Jew
ish organizations in contrast to 63 per
cent of the sons memberships Forty-siX
per cent of the third generation Jews
have experienced no anti-Semitism in
their own life. Another 27 per cent ran
into some anti-Semitism in the armed
service and in casual remarks of others.

Boris Snolar:

Much is being said and written nova
days about the younger generation of
Jews in the United States. Questions are
being asked as to how many of them real
ly feel jewish and whether Judaism has
by Yale University attempts to give a
comprehensive answer to these questions.
The study, entitled Children of the
Gilded Ghetto" was conducted by two
Jewish SociologiStS - Judith Kramer and
Seymour Leventman who chose Min
neapolis for their survey. They sought
to establish the attitude of the third gen.
Grafton Jew toward such questions as
anti-Semitism, family life, religion, busi-
ness, education, philanthropy, club mem
bership and Israel. They also sought to
compare the sentiments of the third
generation Jew with those of the second
generation.
What did they establish? The third
generation Jew, of about 35 years of age,
has more general education than that of
the second generation, but his income is
smaller The average annual income of
the fathers is $14,3OO, while the income
of the son averages $4,000 year. Pro
portionately, three times as many fathers
as sons have incomes of over $4,000
year. The mien of the third generation
is one of general contentment with it's
economic position.
How about their Jewish feelings?
Most of them feel that being Jewish is
no longer an economic problem for their
generation. Only II per cent felt that
their religious identity had either restrict
ed their occupational choice or impeded
their opportunities for advancement with
in their chosen fields. About 80 per cent
of them are members of synagogues, al
though two-thirds of them attend syna
gogue on High Holidays only.
Only two per cent of them speak Yid
dish, as compared with 85 per cent of
their degeneration parents. Among
the third generation parents who now be-
