U. S. Jewry Mourns Mrs. Wade!

Solomon Medvedov
Dies Following 50th
Wedding Anniversary

Solomon Medvedov's love for
the land, for his family and for
his work was climaxed on the
weekend of Nov. 19, when he
celebrated his 50th wedding an-
nivesrary and agreed to retire
from business.
His closely - knit family — his
wife, Rose; daughters, Mrs. Wil-
liam Gottesman, Mrs. Harry
Landsman, Mrs. Harold Silver-
ston and Mrs. Isaac Erman, their
husbands, and his grandchildren
—rejoiced with him at the gold-
en wedding celebration at the
Russian Bear and convinced him
that he should withdraw from
work at the Consumers' Plumb-
ing on Livernois. After one day
of inactivity he decided to ignore
their advice and return to busi-
ness.
On Wednesday, Nov. 23, he
died of a heart attack.
Besides his work in the city,
the 78-year-old Medvedov was
always close to the soil. He had
a garden at a farm owned by a
son-in-law which he enlarged
each year and from which all
his family and many friends had
fresh produce,
Mr. Medvedov had an inter-
esting career. He was among the
first supporters of the Zionist
movement and prided himself
on possessing shares in the Col-
lonial Bank.
In 1890, he went to Argentina
as a colonist from Russia under
the Baron deHirsh colonization
project. He returned to Russia
after a few years, married in
1899 and lived there through the
pogrom years in Kishineff. In
1904 he settled in the U. S. with
his family and again tried his
hand at farming. Together with
two friends he bought a farm
and they were the first Jews to
settle in Sullivan County New
York—in the small community
of HMurleyville. Although he did
not remain a farmer, he loved
gardening and retained his" de-
votion to the soil.
Rabbi Morris Adler and Cantor
Jacob Sonenklar officiated at
funeral services. Burial was at
Clover Hill Park Cemetery.

Truman Lauds Record
Of Civil Rights Group

An illustrated booklet describ-
ing the two-year record of pro-
gress since the President's CorriL
mittee on Civil Rights issued its
epoch-Making report has • re-
ceived high praise from Presi-
dent Truman.
In a letter to W. W. Waymack,
chairman of the National Coun-
cil on Civil Rights, the President
wrote:
"It sems to me that the record
you have compiled shows that
progress is being made by all
these groups and in every part
of the country."
The 16-page pamphlet de-
clares that failure of Congress
to pass the President's civil
rights program has not stopped
the American people from going
ahead on other fronts and
steadily hacking away at the
crumbling wall of racial and re-
ligious discrimination.
The National Council pam-
phlet was prepared with the as-
sistance of the department of
public information and educa-
tion of the American Jewish
Committee.

MRS. ERNEST G. WADEL, left, of Dallas, former chair-
man of the National Women's Division of the United Jewish
Appeal, who was killed in a plane crash in Dallas, is shown as
she received a plaque at the UJA's national conference in At-
lantic City, N. J., paying tribute to her two-year leadership of
the UJA's Women's Division. Mrs. Wade!, whose death came
as she was returning home from the conference, had led Ameri-
can women in raising the record sum of $32,000,000 for the
United Jewish Appeal. Shown here with Mrs. David M. Levy,
honorary chairman of the UJA Women's Division. Mrs. Wadel
was eulogized by UJA General Chairman Henry Morgenthau,
Jr. for her "distinguished service in the struggle to reconstruct
the lives of the Jewish people."

state and is encouraging for-
eign investments. "Legislation

vestors will benefit," the mes-
sage said. It emphasized that

Elath Scores Egypt
For Israel Attack at UN

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Israel
Ambassador Eliahu Elath re-
plied to the attack made on
Israel by the Egyptian delegate
to the United Nations Food and
Agricultural Organization.
Elath told the plenary meet-
ing that Egypt's refusal to co-
operate with Israel in the F.A.O.
is a "clear violation of the con-
stitution of the F.A.O. of the
United Nations, which in its
preamble proclaims that the na-
tions accepting this constitution
are determined to promote the
Common welfare by furthering
separate and collective action."
He added that Egypt's attitude
constituted a challenge to the
spirit of the Charter of the
United Nations.
