PORT JERVIS, N. Y., (JTA)—
Discussions of plans for leader-
ship training for young American
Jews, the possibilities of profes-
sional careers in Jewish commu-
nal service and the implications
of military service for young
men and women have occupied
the spotlight at the eighth annual
assembly of the National Youth
Conference, sponsored by the Na-
tional Jewish Welfare Board.
The conference is being attend-
ed by representatives of some 300
local and regional Jewish youth
and young adult councils with a
total membership in excess of
300,000.
Dr. Judah J. Shapiro, an offi-
cial of the Conference on Jewish
Material Claims Against Ger-
mfany, in a major address to the
conference, warned that Ameri-
can Jews must not isolate them-
selves from fellow Jews in other
parts of the world.
He asserted that at the very
time when American Jews are
most concerned about the physi-
cal Welfare of Jews abroad, they
are losing contact with the com-
mon historical and spiritual ties
which bound them to Jews every-
where.

LOS ANGELES, (JTA)—
Courses offered by the Universi-
ty of Judaism (Conservative)
has been approved for veterans
under the GI Bill of Rights.
Classes are being scheduled
here for prospective converts to
Judaism by the Los Angeles
College of Jewish Studies (Re-
form). A similar course is now
being offered in New York City
by the federation of Reform
temples.

The last thing we need to be
anxious about is property. It al-
ways has friends or the means
of making them.—J. R. Lowell.

Kirk Douglas was held up in
a small town because heavy
rains had caused a washout on
the railroad. "This looks like the
flood," he observed to a 'wait-
ress in the local hotel. "The
what?" she asked. "The floOd,"
Kirk repeated. "You know the
flood, when Noah saved the ani-
mals on the ark. You must have
read about that."
The waitress assured him
gravely, -"Mister, on account of
all this rain, I haven't seen a
paper in four days.

Columbia University, which he
earned in 1942.
Finding that this was not the
work for him, Nemeth took a job
at a radio manufacturing plant
in 1943. Here, working with fig-
ures, he decided to pursue mathe-
matic as a career.
He worked as a clerk for
the American Foundation for
the Blind during the day, and
at night he studied mathema-
tics at Brooklyn College. He
met- and married his wife,
.Florence, that year.
Since everything in Braille
must appear in straight lines, and
mathematics involves other sym-
bols, Nemeth was forced to rely
on Braille codes, which he con-
sidered inadequate, or volunteers
to read to him in order to study.
He developed during those
years a system of indicators to
make studying mathematics eas-
ier for the blind person. His
code was adopted in 1954 by the
American Association of Instruc-
tors for the Blind, and is being
used in the U. S. and Canada.
A few years ago, he quit his
job at the Foundation to devote
full-time attention to his studies
at Columbia, and only this month
finished his doctoral dissertation.
Last year, Nemeth filled in as
a mathematics instructor at
Manhattanville College in Pur-
chase, N.Y., and wrote to 150
colleges before he heard of his
acceptance from U. of D.
Nemeth, who is now in Detroit,
will reside with his wife at 16560
Fairfield. He also is the compiler
of the Nemeth Dictionary of
Braile Musical Symbols, which
he prepared because he felt
Braille books on music were in-
adequate.
