Benefit from Generous Ford Grants

The Ford Foundation during
the last fiscal year committed
several thousands of dollars to
numerous Jewish institutions in
this country, Israel and parts of
Europe, according to the Foun-
dation's 1956 Annual Report, re-
leased this week. The period
covered by the report is Oct. 1,
1955 to Sept. 30,
• 1956.
The State of Israel was one
•
of 12 regions aided in "Overseas
DevelopMent." According to the
Annual Report:
"In 1953 the Foundation
granted funds to the Israel
Foundations. TruStees for a
scientific research program
designed to provide informa-
tion needed by the people and
the Government of Israel in
guiding the country's develop-
ment and making effective
use of its human and natural
resources.
In the fall of- 1955, follow-
ing a visit to Israel by a
member of the Foundation
staff. in New York, a supple-
ment of $171,000 was granted
- for completion of the research
program and for experiments
to test some of the findings.
The_ program covers a wide
variety of projects in the
natural and social sciences,
ranging from radio-chemical
Studies of water sources to
analyses of jobs in the civil
service commission."

ed during the fiscal year to
Jews engaged in research. Com-
mitnients of grants-in-aid for
behavorial science research in-
eluded $4,250 to S. N. Eisen-
). Stadt, affiliated with the - He--
brew University, and the same
sum to Louis Guttman, associ-
ated with the Israel Institute.

tional understanding" was $10,-
000 (for aid to • European refu-
gees) • to the Anierican Jewish
Joint Distribution-Committee.

The report showed that Si-
nai Hospital in Detroit has
already been paid $57,150 of
a $114,300 grant. The Founda-
tion's president, IL Rowan
Gaither, Jr., said that hospital
grants are given to extend the
institutional facilities, rather
than to pay for the hosiiitals'
past or present_ debits. (Since
preparation of the report,
Sinai has received the second
half- of the Ford grant). •
Funds committed by the Foun-
dation for all purposes since its
establishment in 1936 totaled
nearly $970 million at • the end
of the 1956 fiscal year.

Fund Shortage. to Force
Close of JWB Center
at .Kaiserslautern

The only Jewish servicemen's
center in Germany will defi-
nitely- close •t,s doors on April
30—regardless of the outcome
of a private drive now being
conducted to raise the $25,000.it
costs annually to maintain the
center.
The information was-disclosed
this week by the National Jew-
ish Welfare Board in corre-
spondence from Bernard Postal,
JWB's director °of public infor-
mation.
The center, located at Kaiser-
slautern, Germany, is being
closed "with the greatest reluc-
tance and only after earnest
consideration of all the facts in-
dicated that we had no other
alternative because ,of our in-
ability to find, the funds needed
to keep the center open," the
JWB statement said.
Postal stated that funds for
the center have come in "dribs
and drabs, but nothing like the
$25,000 needed to maintain the
center." He added that JWB
"knows the closing will create
a gap" in serving the 400-500
Jewish personnel each weekend,
but "there will still be service
to Jewish personnel through the
efforts of Jewish chaplains on
duty in Germany."
The correspondence points
out that a similar situation in
1954 compelled JWB to an-
nounce the closing of the cen-
ter when it was located in Hei-
delberg. Yielding to pressure
from GIs and parents to keep
open the center with the assur-
ance funds would be provided,
the center was kept open.
Funds, however, were not
provided, and JWB continued to
incur deficits to maintain the
operation. The center in Kaiser-
slautern is not the only JWB
installation in need of funds.
The organization is handicapped
by .operating a $2,000,000 pro-
gram on a budget of $1,300,000.
