An unexpectedly
1,000.000th Draftee:
big moment in the life of ARTHUR WEINFELD, of 15845 Al-
den. developed when, on his induction into the Army last week,
he was notified he was the 1,000,000th draftee taken since
the outbreak of the Korean War. Shown above is Weinfeld
being examined by Dr. ALFRED GOLDFADEN, at the Fort
Wayne Induction Center, as other draftees look on.
The young draftee was besieged by newspapermen, radio
and television stations and newsreel photographers before he
left for Fort Custer. According to his parents, Joseph and
Vera Weinfeld, much of the excitement of the previous week
is wearing off as he settles down to being just another GI Joe.
It seems, however, that the Army wanted its 1 ,000,000th
draftee to look smart, and took unusual pains to see that
Arthur was fitted with a perfect uniform.
To Arthur's fiance. Rita Beitner, of 19791 Mark Twain,
the designation 1,000,000 hasn't worn off. He'll always be
one in a million to her. The two met at a dance of Sigma
Alpha Mu fraternity at Wayne University which both at-
tended. Arthur received a BA in government and had nearly
completed work for a master's degree when he was called.
Miss Beitner, who is a senior at Wayne's college of ed-
wcation, says that they will make plans for matrimony after
she graduates, depending, of course. on where Arthur is

LONDON—Israel's attitude towards the recent extension of the Mediterranean

Advising Israel to abStain from transferring the For-
cign Ministry from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the Times says,
"Jerusalem is far from the sea—perhaps too far to be the
effective capital of a nation which is already reviving so
successfully its ancient maritime traditions—and has no real
good communications with the rest of Israel. However, the
real trouble is that the position of Jerusalem is hugely
anomalous."
Explaining the "anomality" of Jerusalem's position, the
article states. "not only are the Holy City and its environs
partly in Arab hands. but the United Nations insisted in
1949 that Jerusalem and the sacred places in its neighbor-
hood should be placed under international control as the
:‘ommon heritage of many faiths. It has so far been found
impossible to carry out this resolution against the resolute
opposition of both Israel and Jordan, but many people all
over the world firmly hold that sooner or later this resolu-
tion must be put into effect."
The paper concludes by emphasizing that while Israel's
'
Foreign Ministry remains in Tel Aviv it is possible for
fol'eign diplomats "to ignore tactfully Israel's assertion
that Jerusalem is her true and only capital." If, however,
the ministry is transferred to Jerusalem, no representative
of any foreign power will be able to follow it there "with-
out incurring the charge that he is conniving at evasion of
the decision of the United Nations," the editorial points out.

Einstein vs. Saucers:
This letter was
A. Gard-
written by Dr. ALBERT EINSTEIN, to the Rev. Louis
inter-
ner of Los Angeles. The famed scientist states he is not
controversy. The Rev. Gardner had
in
the
"saucer"
ested
written to the eminent physicist asking if he believed the
"flying saucers" originated in outer space. But to Einstein the
&Abject apparently is "relatively" uninteresting.
