Chides Israel Consulate
For N.Y. Cocktail Party
David Horowitz, editor of the
American Jewish Press News
Service and a UN correspondent,
in a signed article sharply cri-
ticizes the Israel Consulate Gen-
eral in New York for holding a
cocktail party on Feb. 1, when
Israel was in mourning for two
Jews executed by the Egyptian
government. The party, given
for a visiting Israeli public re-
lations official, had been plan-
ned some time before, but could
easily have been cancelled, he
states, since other consulates
have called off affairs for sim-
ilar reasons. He reports that UN
correspondents who attended
considered the party in bad
taste under the circumstances.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., (JTA)-
Nearly 83 percent of the Jews of
Jacksonville are native-born
Americans and 99.2 percent are
American citizens, a Jewish com-
munity census study has estab-
lished. The study represents a
self-survey in which over 200
persons were involved, Ben
Stark, executive director of the
Jewish Community Council here,
pointed out.
Of the 4,072 Jews in Jackson-
ville, 3,367 were born in the
United States, 1.374 of them in
this city. -In analyzing their
occupations, the study establish-
ed that 59.1 percent are proprie-
tors, managers or officials of
businesses or institutions; that
21.9 percent had clerical or sales
jobs; that 14.7 percent were pro-
fessionals or semi-professionals,
and that 4.3 percent of all those
gainfully employed were crafts-
men or laborers.
There are 86- inter-married
families in the city. Four of
every five families are affiliated
with a religious institution. The
same percentage holds true for
children attending a Sunday
school. One of every two children
attends a Hebrew school. There
are 22 Jewish organizations in
the city. The population is
evenly divided with 2,051 males
and 2,021 females. The average
age of the male population
among Jacksonville Jews is 32.4
years, and the average age for
females is 32.1.

DETROIT JEWISH NEWS-5
Friday, February 11, 1955
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Two new of Laws by Fordham University,
faces appeared in special roles
in the educational scene of this
city. One of them is the new
president of New York's Board
of Education, and the other the
only woman member of that
board. And to make the drama
complete, the deciding vote for
the former was cast by the
lat ter.
Charles H. Silver, who began
his business career 52 years ago
as a $2.50 a week office boy and
rose to become vice-president
and director of the American
Woolen Company, was elected
president of the Board. In his
new post, Mr. Silver is at the
head of the world's largest
school system.
Mr. Silver, vice chairman of
Yeshiva University's board of
trustees, has been very active in
the work of the Alfred E. Smith
Foundation, established by Car-
dinal Spellman. He was awarded
the honorary degree . of Doctor
a Jesuit institution.
A member of Congregation
Bnai Jeshurun here, he always
attends Saturday services and
prays every morning before go-
ing to work.
The deciding vote for Mr.
Silver's election was cast by a
new member of the Board of
Education, who had been sworn
in only that morning. She is
Mrs. Cecile Ruth Sands, of
Brooklyn, who was appointed to
the post by Mayor Robert Wag-
ner earlier this week and is the
sole distaff representative on
the group.
