L. J. Rosenberg's Consular Work
Recalled on His 80th Birthday

SO rich is the career of Louis
James Rosenberg, one of Michi-
gan's distinguished Jews, that
an evaluation of it occupies con-
siderable- space in several bio-
graphical works, including the
Universal Jewish Encyclopedia
and Who's Who in World Jewry.
This career merits recalling
today, his eightieth birthday.
Born in Riga, Latvia, Aug. 3,
1876, he came to this country in
1890, received his LL.B. degree

San Diego Sea Lions
At Jerusalem's Zoo

NEW YORK. (JTA) — "The
development of atomic energy
in Israel can be the key to peace
and stability throughout the
Middle East," Dr. Joseph Weil,
Dean of the School of Engineer-
ing of the University of Florida,
reported at the office of the
American Technion Society.
Dr. Weil, who has just re-
turned from a, two-month mis-
sion to Israel, set up - a program
of nuclear energy studies at the
Israel Institute of Technology in
Haifa, which is supported by the
American Technion Society. He
also surveyed the present status
of atomic energy development
in Israel.
Dr. Weil urged the United
States to make available to Is-
rael an atomic research reactor,
which could be used both for
production and experimentation.
He estimated the cost of such
equipment to be $2,000,000. He
paid tribute to the foresight of
the Israel Institute of Technol-
ogy, the only college of engi-
neering in Israel, and called it
"an excellent institution provid-
ing first-rate training to Israel's
future engineers and technol-
ogists."

HIAS in Baltimore Is
An Autonomous Agency

BALTIMORE, (JTA) — The
organization of HIAS of Balti-
more, Inc., formerly a local
branch of the United HIAS
Service of New York, as an
autonomous Baltimore agency,
was announced today by Louis
J. Fox, president of the Jewish
Welfare Fund of Baltimore.
As a constituent agency_ of
the Jewish Welfare Fund, HIAS
of Baltimore will take over the
program of the former local
branch of the United HIAS
Service. It will offer a full im-
migration service including nat-
uralization, location of relatives
abroad, receptions at docks and
terminals for newcomers arriv-
ing in Baltimore, legal repre-
sentation of newcomers at
immigration hearings, and an
indemnification program for
victims of Nazism. The new
HIAS of Baltimore will con-
tinue to be the local representa-
tive of the National United
HIAS Service.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — A
couple of permant guests from
San Diego have arrived in Is-
rael, but their fastidious eating
habits have required some spe-
cial arrangements. The guests—
a pair of sea lions — arrived
here by air to take up residence
at the Biblical Zoo and their
meals will be provided by spe-
cial arrangement with Tnuva's
deep sea fishing -fleet. It seems
that sea lions won't call it a
good square meal unless they've
consumed about 8 pounds of
freshly netted deep sea . fish
apiece.
The sea lions, now comfort-
ably at home in a pool original-
ly built for sea otters pending
completion of their own home, I
are as yet unnamed. The zoo
committee has invited suggest-
ions from interested spectators.

"The lack of adequate water
in Israel, Egypt and all the Arab
Countries is the fundamental
cause for the present strife in
the Middle East. —
"The problem of the Arab
refugees is not one of displaced
persons, but one of idle dis-
placed persons. .If there were
enough water to provide culti-
vatable land for these people
throughout that part of the
world, differences existing to-
day
Israel and her Arab
neighbors would vanish over-

night.
"Water resources can be de-
veloped only through the avail-
ability of cheap power, and
cheap power can be made avail-
able only through the practical
application of atomic energy,"
Dr. Weil continued. "Uranium
is obtainable from the phosphate
ore now being mined in the
Negev section of Israel, and the
prospects for the use of atomic
energy in Israel commercially
are much further advanced than
most people seem to realize."
