with the U.S. Forces in Europe
and North Africa, as well as the
Servicemen's Council here, re-
gistered a protest against the
proposed closing, for financial
reasons, of the Jewish Welfare
Board Center in Heidelberg.
The center, which apart from
the chaplaincy program is the
only JWB operatiOn in Europe,
has been the Jewish occupation
soldiers' "h ome away from
home" for almost nine years. It
offers a variety of religious, so-
cial and cultural facilities. and
also serves as headquarters for
all Jewish chaplains.
The National Jewish Welfare
Board has informed center
director A. Grodsky that the
curtailment of its budget does
not permit operation of the cen-
ter after April 30. This, declares

CLEVELAND, (JTA)—The in
welfare program of the Eisen-
hower Administration follows
the philosophy of Moses Mai-
monides, outstanding Jewish
philosopher of the 12th century,
it was emphasized by Secretary
of Health, Education and Wel-
fare, Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby.
Speaking at Cong. Tifereth Is-
rael, Secretary Hobby quoted
from Maimonides' "Charity's
Eight Degrees," the following:
"Anticipate charity by prevent-
ing poverty; assist the reduced
fellowman by teaching him a
trade, or by way of putting him

the way of a business, so that
he may earn an honest liveli-
hood, and not be forced to the
dreadful alternative of holding
out his hand for charity. This is
the highest step and the summit
of charity's ladder."
Mrs. Hobby then went on to
declare that "many of the pro-
grams and services of the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare which seek to cush-
ion the shock of personal disas-
ter are based on the same con-
cept of practical preventive so-
cial action applied to the human
needs of the twentieth century."
