`Angers' UN Officials

meritorious achievement in be-
coming one of the top Jewish

14 members in 1952 and
today the strong roster of 452
is abundant with energetic, hard
working folks whose every effort
for the great City of Hoe hos-
pital and Research C?nter at
Duarte. Calif., continues to re-
ceive much acclaim . . . Since
being organized, the gals have
sent $44,000 to the City of Hope
plus many patients from Detroit
who have found comfort at the
specialized free non-sectarian
hospital famous throughout the
world.

tional convention of the City of
Hope, a five-day, all-expense
paid affair of unforgettable ac-
tivity, is held in California . 4i.

have won the right to go as
delegates . . . Rose Moss, Jean
Izelman, Irene Berger, Charlotte
Rosenberg, Ethel Shapiro and

enberg, the group's organizer and
president from the time it was
formed until now, will also at-
tend as a guest delegate . . .
They'll leave here June 30 by
plane and attend the convention
from July 2 to July 6 . . at
Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles.
THE CONVENTION, this year,

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA)—Experts high in the
United Nations DepIrtment of
Social Affairs were "disturbed
and angry," over an irrespon-
sible report of prbstitution in
Israel.
The report was based on in-
formation in a recently publish-
ed "International Review of
Criminal Policy" which devotes
three or four paragraphs out of
115 closely printed pages of text
—to a situation in Israel which
no longer exists and never was
more than "a peripheral prob-
lem."
The UN report touching brief-
ly upon Israel covers the years
1951 and 1952, but the report
circulated by one newspaper-
man here fails to mention the
years, inferring that "traffic in
persons" is a current problem in
Israel.
Furthermore, the report fails
to point out that- the UN sur-
vey • devotes most of its refer-
ence to Israel to a discussion of
the Israel government's positive
action under stringent laws and
through the work of highly ex-
perienced social welfare and
health workers who are meet-
ing the problem which Israeli
sources point out is "peripher-
al."
. Following the great influx of
immigrants into Israel, during
the years immediately succeed-
ing the war and during the
early years of Israel's sovereign-
ty, it is admitted that there
were some social problems which,
though affecting a very small
minority, had to be handled by
the Israel authorities.
Moral breakdown in concen-
tration and DP camps affecting
European Jews, and the enor-
mous social adjustment requir-
ed of oriental immigrants
brought suddenly into a milieu
where western standards of mo-
rality prevailed, resulted in
what social workers saw as "an
upheaval."
Old anti-vice laws prevailing
under the former British Man-
datory power were invoked, new
regulations were established,
certain practices—like polygamy
and child marriage—were out-
lawed.
Israel's handling of its social
problems has been highly com-
mended by experts here as well
as by social work leaders
throughout the world.
Congressional Medal
Asked for Dr. Einstein
WASHINGTON, (JTA)— T h e
name of the late Dr. Albert
Einstein has been advanced in
the House as a recipient of a
Congressional medal proposed
for distinguished civilian
achievement. Dr. Jonas Salk,
discoverer of the polio vaccine,
was named as the first to re-
ceive the proposed new honor.
Frank Thompson, Jr., New
Jersey Democrat, introduced the
Administration's proposal in the
House as the Thompson Bill
which advances Dr. Einstein's
name and provides for presen-
tation of the award posthumous-
ly. The Bureau of the Budget
has endorsed the Thompson Bill
and urges its early considera-
tion. Previously, Rep. Thompson
had requested that a s t amp
commemorating Dr. Einstein be
printed. But the Postmaster
General said that an excess of
commemoratives prevented it.

Congress May Get Bill on
Christian Amendment;
Jewish Groups Opposed
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—A pro-
posal that "the authority and
law of Jesus Christ" be express-
ly proclaimed in an amendment
to the United States Constitu-
tion has been revived and will
soon be re-introduced in Con-
gress.
This was made known here by
the Rev. A. - J. McFarland, of
Pittsburgh, Pa., executive secre-
tary of the "Christian Amend-
ment Movement."
Activity is under way here to
line up a group of sponsors in
the House of Representatives.
The proposed amendment may
be simultaneously reintroduced
in the Senate.
Leading the sponsoring group
is Rep. Robert Harrison, Ne-
braska Republican, who intro-,
duced it in the last Congres-
sional session as a companion
bill to a similar measure spon-
sored in the Senate by Sen.
Ralph Flanders, Vermont Re-
publican.
A Senate subcommittee held
hearings last year on the Fland-
ers resolution. Jewish groups
strongly objected to the propos-
ed legislation, expressing belief
that it would violate American
principles regarding separation
of church and state and would
create in effect a class of "sec-
ond class" citizens.
The subcommittee voted to
table the bill and did not report
it to the Senate floor. Sen.
Flanders said that he would not
reintroduce it.
• Rev. McFarland, an ordained
minister of the Reformed Pres-
byterian Church, has spent 13
years leading the movement to
amend the Constitution.
U.S. to Protest Against
Israel's 'Reprisal Policy'
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
State Department has instruct-
ed Ambassador Edward Lawson
to protest to Israel Prime Min-
ister Moshe Sharett against Is-
rael's announced reprisal action
in the Gaza vicinity.
State Department sources in-
dicated that the U. S. Govern-
ment feels the most recent Gaza
incident and Israel's alleged
"reprisal policy" are preventing a
re-appraisal of American Near
Eastern policy along the lines
sought by Israel.
Suggestions by Zionist leaders
that the United States conclude
a security pact with Israel are
now being discussed within the
State Department with depart-
mental circles beginning to ad-
vance a view that Israel, to en-
hance its chances for such con-
sideration, must abandon what
the department feels is a "neg-
ative policy of reprisals."
It is suggested by State De-
partment officials that Israel
cannot realistically expect a
pact or special security consid-
erations when it allegedly does
not see fit to follow American
suggestions on regional peace
including the fundamental State
DepartTnent position on ,repris-
als.
I will rebuke the devourer for
your sakes, and he shall not
destroy the fruits of your ground.
