Of First Jewish Woman Mayor in U. S.
(Second Article in a Series)

gestions, • to the doorstep of this
community's first woman mayor

In office as mayor only 'a short
time—she took the post offi-
cially on New Year's Day—Mrs.
White, a 44-year-old housewife
and mother of two childten, is
the first Democrat to cop the
office of mayor in two decades.
She succeeds Charles R. English
who has held the non-salaried
post for 20 years.
Mrs. White won the post with
the help of Republican votes.
She squeezed into office in one
of this North Jersey commun-
ity's closest elections—a plur-
ality of a bare 65 votes.
A member of Hadassah, Mrs.
White is the daughter of Abram

sador to Turkey and a judge of
the U. S. Court of Appeals.
Mrs. White believes that Mr.

A Pocket Full of Dreams
Rainy-Day Note Brings 'Chen' to U.S.
BOSTON—(AJP)—A tiny note parading in the rain. They were
tucked away in the pocket of a . not wearing raincoats.
Inquiring, the manufacturer

miles away in Israel will provide learned that there W ere no rain-.
coats for the Chen. Once back
in Boston, Monosson, a promi-
nent Zionist, set to work manu-
facturing samples. He forwarded
them to Israel where the Quar-
termaster Corps of the Chen
approved the model. With the
assistance of another plant,
Monosson's firm supplied the
entire Chen with raincoats.
But it didn't satisfy the gen-
erous Zionist. With the ap-
proval of the Vice-Mayor of
Jerusalem, Reuven Shribman,
Monosson placed a note in the
pocket of one of the thousands

trip to the United States for a
young Chen.

JAMES G. McDONALD (left),
who recently resigned after
serving as the first United
States Ambassador to Israel, an-
nounced his acceptance of the

zation established early this

Arrange Tour of Israel
For Nine U.S. Newsmen
NEW YORK — (JTA) — Nine
news paper me n representing
m a j or metropolitan dailies
across the country will leave
this week on a survey trip to
Israel to report on the immi-
gration, settlement and re-
habilitation programs support-
ed there . with funds raised
through the United Jewish Ap-
peal, it was announced by Ed-
ward M. M. Warburg, general
chairman of the UJA.
The newspapermen will spend
three weeks in Israel, during
which time they will inspect
reception camps and "work vil-
lages" for newly-arrived immi-
grants from Europe, North Af-
rica and the Near East. They
will also tour Israel's major
cities and meet with top Israel
Government officials.
NEW YORK—Arthur Green-
leigh, executive director of Unit-
ed Service for New Americans,
placed the blame for the lag in
immigration of displaced per-
sons to this country on the over-
seas personnel of the U.S. Army
Counter Intelligence Corps and
the Immigration and Naturali-
zation Service of the Depart-
ment of Justice.
Greenleigh deliver e d his
charge before 500 community re-
settlement leaders at the an-
nual USNA meeting at Hotel
Roosevelt, Jan. 20-21.
Convinced that "the whole
process can and must be speed-
ed up without impairing nation-
al security or other standards of
admission," G r eenle i g h said
many DPs complained to him
that the "laborious, often un-
necessary, frequently Gestapo-
like questioning by some officials
of these two governmental agen-
cies seem a repetition of hated
secret police methods.",
He added that rejections of
visa applications by the CIC and
immigration officials are fre-
quently based on subjective
opinion, rather than factual in-
formation.
The delegates heard John W.
Gibson, in his first public ad-
dress since his appointment by
President Truman as chairman
of the U.S. Displaced Persons
Commission was concerned with
reducing the overseas time lag
in the processing of -cases.
"Our present schedule calls
for a reduction in processing
time to three months or less, if
that is humanly possible," Gib-
son declared. To achieve that
end, he announced that he will
leave for Europe early in Febru-
ary to discuss the problem with
Commission officers and staff
overseas.
The prediction that Con-
gress will amend the immigra-
tion laws, to permit additional
refugees to enter this country
on a regular quota basis, was
made by Walter H. Bieringer,
re-elected president of the or-
ganization. Mr. Bieringer said
that "there are more homeless
Jews in Europe now than can
possibly come in under the
rigid terms of the DP Act."
Carlos L. Israels, USNA
treasurer, reported that 1951
budget requirements for the
agency total $1,580,800, as
compared with $2,341,126 spent_
last year.
Edward Sorsi, New York
State Commissioner of Labor
and chairman of the State
Displaced Persons Commis..
sion, declared that "our arch-
aic immigration policy is dam-
aging our yelations with the
nations of the world."
Carlos L. Israels, USNA treas-
urer, reported that 1951 budget
requirements total $1,580,800, as
compared to $2,341,126 spent last
year.
Special scrolls of tribute were
presented to William Rosen-
wald, Edwin Rosenberg, Mrs.
Joseph M. Welt, and Mrs. Irving
M. Engel, agency honorary pres-
idents.
President Truman, in a mes-
sage to the meeting, praised the
agency for its "highly construc-
tive work in helping displaced
persons to establish new homes
within our borders and in mak- ,
ing known to them the high
ideals of freedom which are
fundamental to American life."'
Cabinet Education Dispute

in the United States this week

dox drive for Israel launched
by the Agudath Israel of Amer-
