mold the character of the na-
tion on the basis of two princi-
ples: the fostering of science
and use of its achievements for
conquering and fructifying the
desert and the shaping .of a new
society built on the foundations
of liberty and peace in accord-
ance with the visions of the
Prophets.
Dr. Oppenheimer declared
that the "new knowledge lends
to man new power. It is this
which has made the rise of
Israel possible where courage
could hardly cope with the ad-
versities of nature and the ad-
versities added by man." He
added that "We know that the
nations of the world must unite,
must lose the power to make
wars as some have even now
have largely lost the incentive."
The American scientist ex-
pressed the "confident hope
that Israel will play a very spe-
cial part in this situation." He

stitute for Nuclear Studies,
Prof. Felix Bloch of Stanford
University, Dr. Boris Pregel,
president of the New York
Academy of Sciences, and Dr.
George Herzberg of the Cana-

ety of Ottawa.
In his address, Ben-Gurion
told the assembled scientists
that he was not "one of those
who despair of the future of
the human race" on account of
the destructive uses latent in
atomic discoveries. He based his
optimism on Biblical prophecies
which forecast a "great future"
for the human race.

JFCS, Resettlement Service Elect
Officers, Boards at Annual Meeting

"Social problems increase as
civilization develops," Arthur
H. Kruse, general secretary of
the Family Service Association
of Cleveland, stated last Sun-
day in addressing the annual
meeting of the Jewish Family
and Children's Service and Re-
settlement Service.
Speaking on "What Is Hap-
pening to the Family Today,"
the Cleveland social work ex-
ecutive s a i d, "Along with
greater economic security and
a higher material standard of
living has come greater strain
on all of us in managing human
behavior."
Kruse paid tribute to the
work done by family agencies,
and pointed out that thousands
of families in Detroit have been
helped to achieve more success-
ful and productive lives because
of the efforts of agencies such
as the JFCS.
M i l f or d Pregerson, JFCS
president, in his annual report
indicated that recent policy
changes governing the relation-
ships between the United Com-
munity Services and Jewish
agencies, including JFCS, will
be handled directly by the
Jewish Welfare Federation.
Most important of the policies
to be arranged between Fed-
eration and UCS will be the
budget of JFCS and other agen-
cies which previously dealt di-
rectly with the UCS.
Other agency developments
also were outlined by Preger-
son in his annual report, in-
cluding a statement that the
new JFCS office building, ad-
joining the new Jewish Corn-
munity Center now under con-
struction, will be ready at
Curtis and Meyers next spring.
Reporting on activities of Re-
settlement Service, David I.
Rosin, president, said that the
agency was able to assist 394
former Nazi victims, now living
in Detroit, to file 526 claims.
As of May 1, he declared,
awards of $183,650 have been
received by 105 claimants.
Rosin was re-elected as presi-
dent of Resettlement Service,
while Nathan_ L. Milstein was
chosen as vice-president; Walter
Herz, treasurer; and Mrs. Lewis
Manning, secretary.
