Kenneth
years-old, w a s
valedictory speaker. He was
among the upper 10 percent of
his class who graduated with
cum .laude diplomas.
In his speech Kenneth re-
ferred to the efforts of three
religious men—Dr. Albert Sch-
weitzer, who founded a small
hospital in Africa; Father Flan-
agan, founder of Boy's Town and
Detroit's own Fred M. Butzel.
He called attention to Mal-
colm Bingay's editorial on Mr.
Butzel's passing: "Fred Butzel's
activities are so vast it is dif-
ficult to comprehend them all.
He was a leader in the B o y
Scouts, the Community Chest,
the Ford Republic and has been
majestic power behind all the
worthy movements of his fel-
low Jews, but all his good tran-
scends his other activities."
In September, Kenneth will
enter the University of Detroit
to begin predental studies.
TEL AVIV (JTA)—"The reso-
lution adopted by the Zionist
Organization of America iden-
tifying the ZOA with the Gen-
eral Zionists- in Israel seriously
threatens the special legal status
in Israel for the world Zionist
movement," according to a reso-
lution adopted here by the na-
tional conference of the Pro-
gressive Party.
Other resolutions call upon the
Israel government to grant legal
status for the world Zionist
movement, ask for the estab-
lishment by the Israel govern-
ment of an Economic Council
under a qualified Minister for
Economic Affairs, urge equal
treatment for all types of econ-
omic enterprises and criticise the
"monopolistic trends" prevailing
in the developments of Israel's
economy.
