Last Friday, many Centralites
were seen with drawn faces. The
reason—the sudden and untime-
ly death of Ruth Ann Shapiro,
who was a dear friend to many
Centralites. Her death from Dia-
betes, came as a shock to the
many who knew her and we all
wish to express our deepest re-
grets to her parents. Four Cen-
tralites who attended her fun-
era 1, Elaine Rosenthal, Lilian
Lipshaw, Marilyn Music and
Sharon Superstein, conveyed the
sympathies of all Centralites.
Who was to be named the

retary. Burt Stillman, Joyce
Kaye, and Bob Galin tied for
Veep. Bob was elected at the
next meeting. Tuesday, the club
will go to the Art Museum to
learn about Roman culture and
life through the paintings.

World Congress Complains to UN
Against Visa Discrimination
UNITED NATIONS, J T A )-
During my recent three-
month stay in Austria, I met,
among others, four persons
whose lives and work are extra-
ordinary.
Shortly after the end of World
War II, we met in Vienna a
young woman. She was pre-
maturely grey, looking much
older than she really was: five
years of Nazi concentration
camps had left their mark on
her. Paula Elges became our
friend. We learned about her
gruesome experiences and her
miraculous survival. She and
eight men were the sole sur-
vivors of a contingent of 5,000
Jews who one day were brought
to Auschwitz for "extermina-
tion."
However, the last five years
brought about a remarkable
change. Paula is now one of
Vienna's leading newspaper
women. Her articles have made
her famous and are widely read
and discussed. People of rank
and name are seeking her ac-
quaintance.
Through Paula we met the
second outstanding individual:
a young chazan from Vienna's
leading temple. We heard many
pleases about Bill Caspi's tenor
voice and his excellent chaza-
nut, but a special occasion
proved that this 22-year-old
singer is something of a phe-
nomenon.
One of Vienna's leading oper-
etta houses needed a tenor
lead, and Caspi took the part
on a few days' notice. It was
one of the most remarkable
debuts we ever attended. Almost
the entire Viennese Kehillah
filled the theater to hear its
cantor, and the performance
was a real triumph for Caspi.
Now there is talk of bringing
him for an audition with the
New York Metropolitan Opera,
The third person also is a
Jewish singer. He is the young
Canadian bass-baritone, George
London, who made headlines in
Austria and Germany. I attend-
ed a performance of Eugen
Onegin in which he sang the
title role in Russian. His voice
is resonant and beautiful. He
commands several languages
without a trace of accent. His
successes led to an , engagement
for leading roles in the recently
revived Bayreuth festivals. This
Season he will join the roster of
leading singers at the Met.
The fourth but not least of
'the interesting personalities I
met was Ariel Heller, director
of the Jewish Agency in Vienna,
formerly with the Histadrut in
Israel. He is in charge of immi-
gration to Israel. There are
between 12-14,000 Jews in Aus-
tria, half of them displaced per-
sons. They should have left
Austria long ago, but it seems
there are still some Jews left
who won't learn from past ex-
periences, and who still believe
that they may spend their lives
in Austria.
Heller has visited the DP
camps many times and con-
tacted every single prospect for
aliyah. He is active in all Zion-
ist groups and advising them in
their functions and plans.
Vienna has played a most im-
portant part in the Jewish post-
war history. Much of the credit
has to go to the Arrierican Joint
Distribution Committee and its
director, Harold Trobe, as well
Heller.
The World Jewish Congress sub-
mitted a memorandum to the
United Nations charging a num-
ber of UN member states— par-

Extraordinary Drive for $35,000.000
For UJA in Full Swing This Month.
Stirred to action by food,
housing and medical shortages
in Israel that have seriously af-
fected the living standards of
the people and have slowed the
settlement and absorption of
tens of thousands of recent im-
migrants, hundreds of commun-
ities from coast to coast have
launched emergency cash collec-
tion drives to help give the Unit-
ed Jewish Appeal a total of $15,-
000,000 in cash for October as a
first installment on the UJA's
urgent requirement for $35,000,-
000 by the end of the year, it was
announced by Dr. Joseph J.
Schwartz, UJA executive vice-
chairman.
Dr. Schwartz, whose an-
nouncement was based on a re-
port by William Rosenwald, na-
tional chairman of the UJA's
extraordinary cash campaign,
hailed the concerted opening of
local cash drives and said that
it appeared the cash campaign
would be fully under way in
more than 2,500 communities by
Oct. 15.
Dr. SchWartz called attention
to the UJA's National Report
Conference, to be held Saturday
evening and Sunday, Oct. 27 and
28,
Hotel Commodore, New
York, pointing out that close to
1,000 Jewish community leaders
would announce the interim re-
sults of their cash efforts.
The UJA executive vice-chait-
man attributed the current
slow-down in Israel's progress to
three factors:
(1). Last winter's drought,
which seriously cut food produc-
tion.
(2). The continued large-scale
inflow of homeless Jews., more
than 170,000 of whom have en-
tered since the beginning of
1951.
(3). The inability of Israel's
industry and agriculture, despite
notable expansion, to meet every
need of the growing population.
