Learn Secret

Summing it up, he said
that Israelis have learned the
secret Of being willing to die
for the defense Of their coun-
try while, at the same time
demonstrating a love Of man
kind.
The Senator proudly point
ed out that Mrs. Coda Meir,
IsraeTs Foreign Minister,
grew up in his State and
jokingly referred to her as
the girl who made Milwau-
kee famous"
The banquet, which
marked the Both anniversary
of the Beth Zeiroth Mlzrachi,
Jerusalem, first vocational
high school for girls eStab-
lished in what was then
Palestine, also featured talks
by Mrs. Jacob Szobel Of Tel
Aviv, and Rabbi Mordecai
Kirshblum. president Of the
Religious Zonists of America.

Russian Anti-Semitism
Serious, Senator Says

Mrs. Szobel was a student
at the high school when 1t
first opened and, after
further training in this
country, became an admin
istrator of Mizrachi educa-
tional projects in Israel.
Last night she showed
films of the school made
during her student days.
Rabbi Kirshblum, who re-
turned from Israel this week,
noted the recent stress and
tension in connection with
religious life in Jerusalem
but declared that such pc
riodic conflicts only indicate
that religion in Israel Is
basic, tangible, deeply
rooted and alive"
In this battle Of ideologies,
religious-Zionism is a con-
structive force, he said, de-
claring: Your (Mizrachi)
stones have never been used
for any other purpose except
as cornerstones for institu-
tons of learning, children's
villages and houses where the
soul Of the Hebraic people is
being forged daily"
Mrs. Isidore Gordon was
chairman for the banquet
program which was followed
by a reception.

Senator William ProXmlre
of Wisconsin praised Israel
last night for m king q
priceless contribution to the
free world" through its &C.
onomic and technical aid to
other countries in the face
of threats from United Arab
Republics President Nasser
and Communist Russia's in
sfluence in Africa.
Addressing a banquet seS-
sion Of the 38th annual con-
vention Of the Mizrachi Wom-
ems Organization of America
at the Shoreham Hotel, SEN
$ator Proxmire noted that Mr..
Nasser's avowed objective of
isolating Israel economically
and politically is well known.
Not so many are aware,
however, he said, that anti
sSemitism is now very, very
serious" in the Soviet Union.
The Torah has not been
printed in Russia since 1917,
he declared; the Hebrew Ian
guage is prohibited, with Jew
ish papers also banned, and
there is only one rabbi and
one synagogue for every
$4,000 to $4,000 Jews.
Jews Executed
The Senator also asserted
that of the 14l persons eX-
ecuted for economic crimes
/. in the Soviet Union, So were
Jews although the Jewish peo-
pie comprise less than 2 per
cent Of the population.
He devoted most of his ad-
dress, however, to tributes to
Israel which he said has ex-
banded its program Of tech
nical assistance to almost 80
African and Asian nations in
b the last five years and re-
Gently inaugurated an aid
program in this hemisphere.
In cooperation with the
Organization of American
8 States, Israel has provided
7 200 scholarships to train Lat
in American students in agri-
cultural techniques and, IN
addition is sending Israel
technicians to work on pilol
projects in Latin nations that
could result in reclamation o.
vast arid areas, he said.
In a remarkable dedica'
ton to peace" he declared

WOrlo, Is planning 70 gang
tackle the mighty thorough
bred.
This. Of course. will Occur
on the infield at Laurel or
November IL in the mile-and-
a-half Washington d. c. Inter-
national. If you could detect
a blemish on Kelso's near-per-
feet racing record-31 victories
in A starts and S1,556,702 in
purses won't would be found
in his past performance record
on the lines which begin with
Laurel.
Two of Kelso's rare defeats
occurred at Laurel. Both were
in the International race, last
fall and the year before, al
though they we're far from
humiliating losses. Certainly,
Mrs. Richard c. dupont, Kelso's
owner, could think Of nothing
more appropriate than seeing
her pride trounce the hand
picked field now being as
sembled for the $150,000 classic.
There is strong reason to be-
lieve that Kelso is completing
his finest year.
Spring had just arrived in
Maryland last March when
Kelso came to Bowie for the
John B. Campbell Handicap
That was just after he had
won the Gulfstream Handicap
In the Campbell, Kelso was
asked to make his second start
q week, the Gulfstream
and the Campbell being sched-
uled on successive week ends.
KelSo met a tough field in
the Campbell, perhaps the
most talented he has faced all
year.
II believe this horse is better
than ever in his life," said his
trainer, Carl Hanford, before
the race at Bowie. 1t was
hardly an understatement
Kelso not only won the Camp
bell, beating Crimson Satan
Gushing Wind and Mongo. but
he has yet to be beaten since
then. and now has captured
eight major stakes In a row
