CHICAGO — The 3,000 dele-
gates attending the 41st annual
national convention of Hadassah
at Hotel Morrison here, heard a
stirring appeal by Dr. Nahum
Goldmann, chairman of the Jew-
ish Agency, for authorization by
the United States Senate of "a
Security Treaty with Israel and

National Hadassah
Honors Dora Ehrlich

In recognition , of her serv-
ices to Jewry, to Israel, to
Hadassah and to the Zionist
cause, the national board of
Hadassah, on the eve of the
national convention, in Chi-
cago, adopted a resolution of
appreciation, honoring Dora
Ehrlich, distinguished Detroit
Jewish leader, and elected her
a member of the Honorary
Council of Hadassah.

with any other state in the Middle
East desirous of entering into
such a treaty," in order to trans-
form overnight a grave liability
in that area into an asset for
peace.
Mrs. Rebecca Shulman, presi-
dent of Hadassah, proposed the
following program of action for
American Jewry:
1. Urge the United States Gov-
ernment to lessen tension in the
Middle East and minimize the
possibility of an Arab-Israel arms
race by entering into a mutual
defense treaty with Israel; 2. Re-
double economic assistance to Is-
rael to assure the uninterrupted
development of the country's ag-
riculture and industry; 3. Make
available professional and skilled
labor to accelerate the upbuild-
ing of the country and to fill key
civilian posts; and 4. Strengthen
Israel's economy through . tour-
ism. Mrs. Shulman asserted that
`We cannot send heavy tanks, jets
and submarines to offset the dan-
ger of world peace created by the
Communist-Egyptian pact, b u t
the avenues of economic aid are
wide open."
Congressman Brooks Hays of
Arkansas, a member of the United
States delegation to the United
Nations, told the delegates that
the Soviet arms agreement with
Egypt "may well lead our Arab
friends to many irrational steps."
For Israel, Mr. Hays suggested:
Continued alertness to the danger
of- Communism in the Near East;
increased individual effort and
ability to make Israel econom-
ically strong; and a continued,
serious search for the ways and
means by which Israel may con-
tribute towards the bringing
about of peace in the area.
In a message to the convention,
President Eisenhower hailed Ha-
dassah's "proud record in advanc-
ing the welfare and serving the
needs of literally hundreds of
thousands of people."

The United States Govern-
ment has designated Hadassah
as the centralized agency to
handle and direct the distribu-
tion of surplus American food
in Israel under authority of
Title III of Public LaW 480,
it was announced by Mrs.
Raphael Tourover, Washing-
ton representative of Hadassah,
who negotiated the agreement
with the International Coop-
eration Administration.

Dr. Miriam Freund, chairman
of Youth Aliyah for Hadassah,
declared that the present crisis
in the Middle East underscored
the need for speedy action to
remove to Israel the estimated
450,000 Jews from North Africa,
of whom more than half are
young children.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, for
many years an active supporter
of the Youth Aliyah activities of
Hadassah, declared in an address
to the delegates on Tuesday that
"the task which Israel faces in
integrating not only the hundreds
of thousands of people who have
arrived in the country during
the last few years • but the end-
less waves of newcomers who
land on her shores every month
s awe-inspiring."

installations, was presented
with a special certificate pro-
claiming her to be a "World
Mother" of Youth Aliyah. The
presentation was made by Dr.
Freund who said that this is
the first time Hadassah is is-
suing this award. The certifi-
cate cited Mrs. Roosevelt for
"her devoted service over many
years to the welfare of home-
less and orphaned Jewish chil-
dren of the world."
