Bernadotte Plan
Still Considered,
Lourie Declares
—(Direct JTA Teletype Wires to
The Jewish News)
NEW YORK — Arthur Lourie,
Counsul-General of Israel, told
the opening session of the first
National Assembly for Labor Is-
rael, that enemies of Israel who
failed last year in Paris to per-
suade the general assembly of
the United Nations to accept the
Bernadotte Plan have not given
up. Lourie spoke before 750 dele-
gates to the Assembly at the
Hotel New Yorker.
"The offense on behalf of the
mutilation of Israel by cutting
the Negev out of our small ter-
ritory is once again under way,
t h o u g h, at present, covertly
and without fanfare," Lourie as-
serted. "In the game of power
politics, the fact that the Arabs
already have more deserts than
they know what to do with, and
that the Negev will be develop-
ed, if developed at all, by the
Jews, is irrelevant."
He said that "for the mo-
ment," these plans are matur-
ing behind an attack on an-
other front, in which the case
of the Arab refugees is being
made a political pawn.

Several hundred friends of Dr.
and Mrs. Noah E. Aronstam of
79 Eason, Highland Park, hon-
ored them Sunday on their 50th
wedding anniversary.
Among t h e testimonials in
their honor was the planting of
20 trees in Israel through the
Jewish National Fund by the
past presidents of Hadassah.
Mrs. Aronstam was one of the
first presidents of Detroit Ha-
dassah.
Dr. Moses Benmosche of New
York, formerly of Detroit, like
Dr. Aronstam, a noted physician
and poet, wrote the following
poem in their honor:
You may reckon your days and
your years that have passed
By your efforts and deeds as
your measuring rod;
While the good you have done
are the dies you have cast,
And your service to man was
devotion to G6d.
We who know you and love you
throughout the short years—
All too short for achievement,
too long by the clock—
All too long by the time that
needs hair-springs and gears,
We have leaned on your council,
Gibraltar-like rock;
And Gibraltar-like, also, you
stand at the gates
And refuse to give passage
where evil might pass.
It is here that we greet you
both, dear loving mates,
On this good, golden year since
when ladie and lass,
Were united in wedlock forever
and aye.
Thus we pray, may God bless
you! What more can we say?
In a recent discussion of long
ball hitters Hank Greenberg
modestly stated that he didn't
rate with the likes of Ruth, Fox,
Gehrig and a few others, "My

pared to. Ruth's," .Hank main-
