all parts - of the United States.

raised at the conference.
Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, of
Milwaukee, was inaugurated as
the new executive vice-chair-
man of the UJA, succeeding Dr.
Joseph J. Shwartz, who last
month became the executive
head of the Israel Bond cam-
paign. Rabbi Friedman was in-
stalled by William Rosenwald,
general chairman of the UTA.
A cabled • message from Israel's
Prime Minister Moshe Sharett,
hailing Rabbi Friedman on the
assumption of this office and
lauding Mr. Rosenwald, was
read at the session.
Mrs. Rose L. Haiprin, acting
chairman of the Jewish Agency
and -a former national president

that Israel's program in behalf

example for other countries and
international agencies confront-
ed with similar situations." . -
Gen. Joseph • T. McNarnei,

who in 1945 succeeded Presi-
dent Eisenhower as com-
mander of the American oc-
cupation forces in Germany,
said that American action
after World War II sustaining
Jewish displaced persons in
Europe and favoring their ne-
se ttlem ent in Israel, has
brought a valuable return "to
the welfare of the. _United
States. -
The former U. S. occupation

commander expressed hope- that
the Arab states would not "long
disregard" Israel's devotion to
freedom and peaceful pursuits.
He urged the USA to continue

its "great work," stating that

MTV Sets June 20 As
`Dr. Feder Day' for
tsraet Bond Drive

The executive committee of
the Detroit Council of Pioneer
Women announces the designa-
tion of June 20 as "Dr. Sarah .
Feder Day."
Plans are being
made for a des-
sert luncheon to
be held in her
honor at 1 p.m.
that day at
Temple Israel.
Dr. Feder, La-
bor Zionist
leader, recently
was re - elected
for a second
term as nation-
al president of
Pioneer Women.
Dr. Feder
She is one of the • 10 founding
members 't)f Pioneer Women and
has served on the organization's
national executive board and as

a member of the advisory board
and chairman of the Southwest
Central Region in the United
States. She has been a delegate
to four World Zionist Con-
gresses.

the Middle East. "As the people
of Israel learn to deal with their
barren, difficult land," the Gen-
eral- said, "and knowledge of
their agricultural, industrial
and political advances spreads,
then neighbors should discover
that they can learn much from
each other by working together.
and assisting each other." Just
as some of the difficult goals of
post-war construction ten years
ago have become today's reali-
ties in Europe and other areas,
General McNarney said, "this
goal of peace, harmony and
further development" in the
Middle East may come to pass
in the next ten years.

Israel Ambassador Abba
Eban responded to General
McNarney's address with an
expression , of Israel's debt of
gratitude to the American
people and the United States
Government. "The people of
Israel and the Jewish world
together could not have
achieved, still less consoli-
dated Israel's newly-Won
freedom alone," the Ambas-
sador. — said. "The reinforce-
ment political, moral, and
material—which we have thus
received in the framewoik of
our international friendships
is beyond t1:4 usual measure
enjoyed by new states in the

early revolutionary period of
their emergence. Chief
amongst our friends," Mr.
Eban said, "is the United
States."
The Israel Ambassador re-
vealed that in his recent high
level consultations in Jernsalem,
American friendship was stress-
ed as the central factor in Is-
rael's foreign relations. He said
no substitute was possible, and
indicated that he felt tliat if
difficulties exist they must be
handled with trust instead of
denunciation. He reported that
in the last five years, Israel re-
ceived $400,000,000 from the
United States in- - economic and
technical assistance.
The opening of the two-day
conference - was preceded by a
ceremony at the White House at
which a- group of UJA leaders,
headed by Mr. Rosenwald, con-
ferred on the President a cita-

-

Mr. Rosenwald, in presenting
the citation and the lamp, told
the President that as supreme
allied commander in Europe in
World War II he had blasted
"the gates of the concentration
camps and helped to save from
extermination the remnant of
the once-great Jewish popula-
tions of Europe. By your sym-
pathetic understanding of the
problems involved and by your
effective action," he added, "you
set a pattern of hiimane and
helpful treatment. Your exam-
ple prevailed in the American
zones of occupation and , served
to revive and restore the newly
liberated Jews in central Europe
and those who sought haven
there." .
The ancient Palestinian lamp
has the following inscription:
To Dwight D. Eisenhower, Pres-
ident of the United States of
America, who has kept the
Lamp of Freedom burning, pre-
sented in deepest gratitude by
the United Jewish Appeal for
his- distinguished humanitarian
service to victims of Nazi tyran-
ny. This antique lamp, from
the land of the Bible, dating
from approximately 50 C.E.,
symbolizes 20 centuries of Jew-
ish history in which each gen-
eration renewed its devotion to
freedom's ideals." '
In addition to Mr. Rosenwald,
who acted as spokesman for the
UJA leaders, the delegation vis-
iting President Eisenhower in-
cluded Joseph Holtzman, De-
troit.
Awards for humanitarian
service were presented by the
UJA also to Gen. McNarney;
Gen. John H. Hilldring, Gen.
Mark W, Clark; Gen. Lucius D.
Clay; Gen. Clarence R. Hueb-
ner; and Sen. JHerbert H. Leh-
man.

from the West, did so much to
crush Nazi' tyranny, to accept
this beautiful and ancient
relic of Jewish civilization. I
am certain that those forces
—the American forces and
their Allies—were representing
only what we would call the
heart of freedom, the belief
that all people are entitled to
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness—that where these
are denied one man, they are
threatened for all.
