Lehman At 80
The most beloved Jew in America today is Senator Herbert
H. Lehman who will be 80 today . . . It is no exaggeration to say
that there is practically no Jewish cause of importance in which
Sen. Lehman is not active . . . He is not only
the most revered leader of American Jewry,
he is also one of the most outstanding leaders
of liberal America . . . He has spent practically
all his life in American public service on the
state and national level, admired for his cour-
age, wisdom and generosity of spirit . . He
withdrew entirely from business and devoted
himself completely to public service 30 years
Sen. Lehman
ago . . . Elected Governor of New York in
1932, he served four terms for a total of 10 years • . . President
Roosevelt then named him director of Foreign Relief and Re-
habilitation Operations in the State Department . . . A year later,
in November 1943, he was unanimously named Director General
of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administra-
tion by the 44 nations which initially set up that organization .. .
UNRRA rendered unprecedented aid to the liberated victims of
the Nazi regime . . . He was later elected to the United States
Senate from New York, having the distinction of being the first
member of the Jewish faith to be elected to the U.S. Senate by
popular vote . . . As a member of the Senate he distinguished
himself in devotion to the cause of the little man and of the
minorities in America . . . His fight for liberalization of the
immigration laws and his courageous battles for other just causes
have won him admiration among liberal-minded people through-
out the nation .

Great Humanitarian
Sen. Lehman's sympathy for the under privileged is a family
tradition . . . His father, who fled from Germany after the revo-
lution of 1848, became a trustee of Mount Sinai Hospital . . . On
Sundays he would walk his youngest son, Herbert, through the
teeming tenement section of New York's Lower East Side to show
him how Jewish immigrants toiled in sweat shops and lived in
squalor and misery . . . This, undoubtedly, made a deep impres-
sion which remained with him for the rest of his life . . • His
well-known sympathies for Jewish labor date back from the days
before he became a Senator or Governor, but was a member
of Governor Alfred E. Smith's Commission to Study the Prob-
lems of the Coat and Suit Industry . . . They were reaffirmed
only this month when he was chosen to arbitrate the strike in
the ladies garment industry which he successfully settled .. .
Illustrative of his faith in labor is the little known fact that in
1929, when the International Ladies Garment Workers Union,
hit by economic adversity, was totally bankrupt, he extended
a personal loan of $25,000 to the union . . . This started the union
on the road to recovery . . . The loan was repaid without interest
but with the greatest of gratitude.

A Warmhearted Jew
In all his years of public service as a distinguished American
patriot and consultant on many important problems to the late
President Roosevelt, Sen. Lehman did not neglect his interest
in Jewish affairs . • . One of the founders of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee, of the American Jewish Committee and of other
important Jewish institutions in this country, he contributed
generously to Jewish causes, and appeared as guest speaker
at Jewish public gatherings.
There were six Jews in the Senate before him, but they had
all been appointed by state legislators . . . Direct elections to the
Senate were inaugurated with the 17th amendment in 1914 .. .
However, no Jew had been elected from that year until Sen.
Lehman was chosen by the people of New York State . . . The
last Jew to serve in the Senate was Simon Guggenheim, of Colo-
rado, having completed his term in 1913 . . . The other Jews
who served in the Senate earlier were: Judah P. Benjamin and
Benjamin Franklin Jonas, of Louisiana; David Levy Yulee, of
Florida; Joseph Simon, of Oregon; and Isador Rayner, of Mary-
land.
Vigorous at 80, Sen. Lehman is now the General Chairman
of the American Committee for the Celebration of Israel's 10th
Anniversary . . . He has succeeded in bringing into this Commit-
tee 500 of the most prominent Americans of all walks of life.
A
WHEN AN AMATEUR stage
show is good, it's a real pleasure
to watch the proceedings . . .
When it comes back for another
time in an improved version,
it's even better . . . especially
when the folks who attend real-
ize their ticket donation is used
for a good purpose . . . That's
the situation with the new "Oak
Park Follies" being presented
tonight in the Oak Park High
School auditorium . . . Last
January, the show ran for three
consecutive evenings, playing to
capacity crowds . . . The audi-
torium has 940 seats . . . To-
night, the musical, made up of
50 teachers, students and par-
ents onstage, plus a host of
backstage "performers," is again
a "must see" event.
* * *
EVERYTHING HAS been do-
nated, and proceeds will go to-
ward helping the youngsters at
Northville State Hospital, a
chapter of the Michigan Asso-
ciation for Emotionally Dis-
turbed Children . . . This was
agreed upon after a couple of
parents who have a son at
Northville attended a meeting
there and discovered how low
the treasury was for the many
things needed in furthering the
hospital's therapeutic program
• • • Oak Park PTA members,
who sponsored the show last
January, voted unanimously to
put it on again . . . It has been
estimated that there are thou-
sands of children requiring
treatment in Michigan.

THE NEW AND BETTER
"Oak Park Follies" tonight will
consist of 22 fast-moving acts,
comprising 90 minutes of musi-
cal entertainment at its top
amateur level. . . An added
highlight will be Jimmy Rach-
leff, "Groucho" Marx' double,
who will be in there pitching all
through the show.

YETTA AND LOU MELTON

ance, assisted by Hy Shebowich,

show last January ... If any are

Israeli Leaders Greet
New UN Truce Officer
JERUSALEM—One of every
six employable immigrants com-
ing during 1957 had academic
training, with engineers and
physicians prevailing, but this
economic gain for Israel was
diminished by the fact that
more than 10 per cent of the
newcomers were seriously ill,
the Knesset was told Wednes-
day. •
The high proportion of / pro-
fessionally trained immigrants
was reported by Mordecai Mair,
Minister of Labor, during Knes-
set discussion of his Ministry's
budget.
Israel Barzilai, Minister of
Health, said that one of the
reasons for the high incidence
of tuberculosis, mental disease
and other illnesses was the dif-
ficulty of arranging medical
examinations in many of the
countries of origin of the new-
comers. He said only 57 im-
migrants from Eastern Europe
and only 50 from Egypt were
examined before arriving in
Israel.
The direct cost of treating
such immigrants exceeded 2,-
500,000 pounds in 1957, the Min-
ister of Health said, adding that
the treatment imposed a heavy
burden on the country's hos-
pitals.
He reported that at least 500,-
000 Israelis were stricken in last
autumn's Asian flu epidemic
and that 30 persons died from
the disease. The anti-polio vac-
cine campaign exceeded beyond
"our most optimistic hopes," he
said, disclosing that only 55
polio cases were reported in
1957, with only two deaths.
Twenty of the stricken children
had not received the vaccine,
he said.
The 90 per cent drop in in-
cidence of polio compared with
the past five years was "an un-
paralleled decline," compared
with the United States, Canada
and England, where 75 per cent
decrease was considered high,
he reported.
