said DR.. Gerstenfeld, "in the
highest social circles In con-
sentative England.
I'm France their social po-
sition was even higher"
In Vienna the Emperor
made all the sons OF Mayer
barons with a coat Of arms
that was almost regal.
The Neopolitan brother,
Kalmann, fixed his Mez-
zuzahs, the miniature Torah
scrolls, on the doorway OF the
finest palace on the vesuvian
shore.
The Balfour Declaration
committing Britain TO the
establishment OF a national
home for the Jews In Pales-
tine was written 10 a Roths-
child.
DR.. Gerstenfeld'S lesson was
that the Rothschilds ad-
vanced financially and So
cially because, not despite
the fact, that they continued
10 be Jews.
He closed with the aphor-

D. {. Budget
For Veterans
Questioned
GAO Roises Issue;
Clark, Leonard
Voice Opposition


The General Accounting Of
flee has questioned whether
the Districts Department Of
Veterans Affairs should be con-
tinued "at its present level"
The GAO doubts were ex-
pressed in a letter to Engineer
Commissioner Frederick J.
Clarke, it was learned today.
Gen. Clarke said he believes
"this department performs q
very valuable service" and that
1.-THE benefits performed for the
community far exceed the costs
Of the services"
The Department Of General
Administration recommended a
$l20,500 budget for the vet
Grams agency for next fiscal
year, approximately the same
amount Of money that ives ap-
propriated for this fiscal year.
The GAO letter repeatedly
quotes Veterans Administration
officials as saying that II the
District and various State vet
Grams affairs agencies were
eliminated the National Veter-
ans Administration could alb
serb the workload.
Discrepancy Seen
Waldron E. Leonard, vet
Grams department director. said
he thought 1t very funny GAO
would hop on the Department
of Veterans Affairs which
spends only a little over $780,
600 a year when some o. the
other District departments
spend millions.
Mr.. Leonard added: when |
the veterans themselves feel
that we are not rendering them
a service, then they will be the |
first to speak up against U.s."
He said department COM
manders Of veterans organiza-
tons in the District have been
asked to attend a meeting at
8 pm today at Room ITO in
the Old Post Office Building to
discuss the questions raised by
the GAO.
He said his office last year
handled 10000 cases for vet
Grams.
His office, he said, files
claims for veterans for COM
pensation and pensions, helps
them with insurance problems,
education and housing loans,
makes photostatic copies Of
documents, prepares applica-
tons for jobs, helps veterans
seek employment and counsels
them on jobs.
Has Power Of Attorney
The agency has power Of
attorney to help veterans pro-
cess claims against the Govern
ment, he added.
Veterans organizations can |
not be expected to take care Of |
the 10000 veterans in the |
District who are not members
of any veterans organization"
Mr.. Leonard said. Therefore,
men without such affiliations
can turn to us for help"
He said organizations similar
to the Districts Department Of |
Veterans Affairs exist all over
the country and supplement
activities Of veterans organiza-
tons.
Herbert J. Jacob. past De-
partment Commander Of the
American Legion. and past vice
commander Of the American
Legion. called tonight's meet
ing.
He said its purpose is to get
the views Of veterans organiza-
tons. He foresaw q resolution
opposing any move to discon-
tinue the Department Of Vet
Grams Affairs.
He termed untrue a claim |
that the local organization has |
outlived its usefulness.

The
Rambler
Sits
Below Lectern
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Washington is a great
place for lectures, an old
fashioned form of adult edu-
cation.
The Rambler usually hears
about the good ones after
the event. But he noticed in
time an ad announcing that
Rabbi Gerstenfeld was 60
ing to give a book review
lecture on "The Roths-
childS,' a current best seller.
He was relieved to note
that there was another man
in the audience that filled
the hall Of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation at
Massachusetts, and Macomb,
out near American Univer-
sity.
Although not a tall man,
DR.. GerStenfeld is impress
sive in appearance. His
straight grazing hair is
neatly parted and combed
back. His broad shoulders
were fashionably draped
with a dark suit and he wore
a dark tie.
He was born at Croydon,
south of London, but his
English accent is vestigial.
That was when the Roths-
childs were at the height of
their glory. They still own
and operate the worlds two
largest private banks, in
Paris and in London, but
taxes have RACED some of
their palaces.

Nelson Rockefeller is the
choice today of key District

In the city's first national cleo
ton In 1854. Influential Re-
publicans have chosen this

aware that their own tradi-

who have scored gains in the

sentiment fits a new urban

FROM THE RAMBLER'S

FROM THE RAMBLER'S
notes:
Numismatics were the start
Of the family. Mayer Roths-
child, a resident of the ghetto
in Frankfurt on Main, inter-
ested the Prince of Hesse-
Landau in his old and exotic
coins. This was the prince
who rented his HeSsian troops
to his cousin George III for
service in the American col
.onies.
) Rothschild became one of
the princes bankers. In time
his five sons headed their
own banks in Frankfurt,
Paris, Vienna, Naples and
London.
When Nathan, founder of
the English house, got word
of Napoleon's defeat at Wa
terloo "a hours ahead of the
other stock exchange mem
bers, he sold, not bought,
English consols government
bonds.
Everyone thought he had
word Of a French victory.
Consols sunk to a new low.
Then he bought.
Nathan was too conserva-
tive to invest In the new
railroads, an English devel-
opment. But when they
became successful he recon-
mended rails to his brothers.
Solomon Rothschild Of vi
emma financed the first
railroads of Central Europe.
His brother, James Roths-
child of Paris, financed the
first railways of France.
Both we're tremendously sue
ceSSful.
After James Rothschild
married his niece, Salomon's
daughter, nter-family mar
riages almost became the
rule.
Among the So marriages Of
Mayors descendants, 20 we're
between first cousins.
Marrying the bosses daugh-
ter did not open the door to
success. Sons-in-law were
not even allowed In the busi-
ness.
Over a period Of 10 years,
Lionel (Nathan's son) stood
repeatedly for the House of
Commons in the city (the
(, London financial section)
and was repeatedly elected.
Each time the House Of Lords
refused to pass a bill ena-
bling a Jew to sit in the
Commons. The bill finally
passed the Lords and Lionel
took the oath on the Old
Testament, emitting the ref
erence to Christ.
A generation later Queen
Victoria made his son, Ma
than Mayer, a member OF the
House Of Lords. He took the
oath on a Hebrew bible.

TOMORROW - Democratic
growing pains.
Evening star., 1962-02-24

Opening lead: Four of hearts.
North has a quite respectable
hand, and he should want to
make it clear that he needs
only a little help to make game.
The point is that he must be-
lieve what his partner tells
him.
South shows the nature of
his hand by bidding a mini
mum number of diamonds at
each opportunity. A player who
bids one, two and finally three
diamonds says: II have a long
suit of respectable strength,
but my suit will not run at
no-trump and my hand is not
strong enough to play for
game"
If South had six or seven
diamonds headed by ace-queen-
jack Cor better), he might bid
one diamond and then two dia-
monds, but at his third turn
he would be glad to bid three
no-trump.
If South had seven diamonds
headed by the king -queen-jack
and some respectable side
length, such as four hearts to
the king, he might bid one
diamond and then two dia-
monds. At his third turn he
would jump to four diamonds
instead Of bidding only three.
No Play for Game
There is no legitimate play
for game. At diamonds, South
should lose a spade and two
diamonds. At no-trump, North
cannot produce enough tricks
to make game unless the op-
ponents go crazy.
It is quite all right for North
to invite game very cordially.
but a good diplomat should
know when his invitation is
being firmly turned down.
Daily Question
Partner opens with one club,
and the next player passes. You
hold:
"A 1898 VQ1oe2 162 *Js5
What do you say?
Answer: Bid one heart. Show
the lower of two four-card ma
jor suits. Partner can con-
veniently show a fit for hearts
or bid one spade, thus finding
a major suit fit if there is one.

G Street Bandit
Severely Beats
JeweIer, 85

An 85-year-old employe of a
downtown jewelry store was
severely beaten today by a lone
robber who took SIT and a few
watches before escaping.
The jeweler, Harry Wittgen-
stein, of 5000 Connecticut ave-
nue. NV, suffered serious
scalp and facial injuries, and
possibly broken ribs and a
broken foot, attendants at
Casualty Hospital said.
A customer found Mr.. Witt
genstein lying in blood on the
floor of the shop, L. B. Young
jewelers., at 803 G street NV,
at 10:45 am.
The jeWeler managed to tell
police he was beaten by the
