thousand men and women after its scheduled start be-

Enthusiastic interest in the
Israel Bond campaign was gen-
erated here by the appearance
Wednesday evening of Michael
S. Comay, Deputy Director-Gen-
eral of the Israel Foreign Min-
istry and former Israel Ambas-
sador to Canada, at the Israel
10th anniversary dinner at Tem-
ple Israel.
More than $240,000 worth of
Israel Bonds were purchased at
the dinner.
Mr. Comay told the capacity
audience that Israel's accom-
plishments during the past. de-
cade had given her confidence
as a nation.
"Underneath the general re-
laxation and enjoyment and
pride of the tenth anniversary
celebrations," Mr. Comay point-
ed out, "Israel is quietly aware
of the unfinished job of state-
building which must be tackled
in the next decade.
"The prospect ahead is one
of hard work, self-sacrifice and
maybe fresh dangers from with-
out, but the achievements of
the first. ten years make all
Israelis confident that they can
meet any challenge, provided

the Jewish people of the United
States and elsewhere live up to
their side of this historic part-
nership. In particular, Israel
Bonds will be called upon to
provide a vital share of the in-
vestment capital in our drive
towards self-sufficiency, which
is the key to our political and
defense situation as well."
Mr. Comay was introduced to
the gathering by Joseph Holtz-
man, who later assisted in
making the appeal for Bond
purchases.
Abe Kasle, chairman of the
Detroit Israel Bond Organiza-
tion, extended greetings to
the guests and reported that
since 1951 20,000 Bonds were
purchased here, in the
amount of $8,300,000.
John Lurie was chairman of
the evening. Mrs. Philip Hell-
man, chairman of the Women's
Division, reported on the
women's activities in behalf of
Israel - Bonds. Greetings also
were extended to the gathering
by a guest at the dinner, Sol
Berger. chairman of the Jersey
City, N. J., Israel Bond Organ-
ization, who purchased a $10,000
Bond. Another guest here, Iry
Huson of Boston, purchased
$20,000 Bonds in honor of Lurie
and Torn Borman. -
Rabbi Hayim Donin gave the
invocation. Cantor Nicholas
Fenakel led a children's choir
in the singing of the national
.anthems.
- There were several messages
of greetings, among them one
from Rabbi Leon Fram who
telegraphed that, inspired by
his recent visit in Israel, he
will be a regular Guardian—a
$1,000 yearly Bond purchaser.

thing requires a tremendous ef-
fort."
My uncle smiled, It is true he
is . sixty, but he looks fifty at
most. And every year he is
(found) among the thousands of
marchers who make their way
on foot from the coast to Jeru-
salem.
"Don't worry," my uncle said
to me. "For another twenty
years I shall march with them
and then I shall stand among
the crowd of spectators."
I knew that all my efforts to
convince my uncle would not
help. How could I succeed when
his wife tries to persuade him
every year and in vain. For be-
sides opponents he has enthusi-
astic supporters: all the sons
and daughters and even the lit-
tle grandchildren.
"Grandfather will come first!
Grandfather will come first!"
the little ones cry. To them (in
their eyes) grandfather is a
great man, they have already
written about him in the news-
papers and over the radio, too,
they mentioned his name.
This year, too, my uncle re-
mained true to his principles.
Just imagine! He travelled from
Jerusalem to Ashkelon by bus
and came back from there
on foot! The whole family
and waited for him at the

trance to Jerusalem, but my
uncle did not leave the ranks
of the marchers. He went to-
gether with them to the end of
the route in the heart of the
city.

famed radio and TV humorist
and raconteur, served as toast-
master, while Mrs. Emma
Schaver, Detroit soprano star
and internationally known con-
cert and recording artist, sang
a group of Israel selections in
honor of the tenth anniversary.
Among the colorful high-
lights of the occasion were the
presentation of the American
and Israel flags by a color
guard composed of ten-year-
olds from Detroit Hebrew
schools, and the presentation
of the winning "Birthday
Greeting to Israel" by Bar-
bara Gold, daughter of Mr.

Northlawn, a pupil at Adas
Shalom Branch of the United
Hebrew Schools. Barbara re-
ceived as an award from Mr.
Comay the famous Szyk
Haggadah.

day greetings submitted went to
Bluma Rosenberg, 4225 Duane,
a pupil at Yeshivath Beth
Yehudah and Jack Wiener, 12019.

The best "Birthday Greeting
to Israel" was selected from the

The committee of judges was
headed by Philip Slomovitz.
The text of the winning
"Birthday Greeting to Israel"
by Barbara Gold foll-E.-,ws:

marched in a protest demon-
stration in Jerusalem last week
under the leadership of the
Agudas Israel, in an attempt to
prevent the opening within a
month of a pool in the heart
of Jerusalem where mixed bath-
ing will be permitted. It was
headed by prominent rabbis and
Agudah deputies in the Knesset.
Protests against the pool have
occasioned disturbances and
even riots in the past, and the
latest demonstration very near-
ly turned into a pitched battle.
The march had been authorized
by police authorities but could

Reuther to Receive
Histadrut Award

Walter P. Reuther, president
of the United Auto Workers
Union, will receive the 1958
Histadrut Humanitarian Award
at a dinner of the National Com-
mittee for La-
bor Israel, at
t h e Waldorf-
Astoria Hotel,
New York,
Tuesday eve-
ning.
The award,
the seventh to
be presented
since 1950,
cites the serv-

And may all your troubles ever
cease.

cause a crowd of some 1,000
youths gathered on its out-
skirts to jeer at the demon-
strators and shout: "We Want
the Pool."
The parade started only after
mounted police scattered the
hecklers. Several scuffles oc-
curred and the police detained
a dozen youths, most of them
from the ranks of the hecklers.
They were released after being
jailed overnight.
In the rear of the parade
marched some 3,000 girls, wom-
en and mothers pushing infants
in baby carriages. Some 500
yeshiva students assisted the po-
lice in maintaining order, circu-
lating among the marchers and
on the outskirts of the forma-
tion.
Prayers were recited at vari-
ous points along the line of
march. In each instance, they
were preceded by the blasts of
13 shofars.
The Neturei Karta, an ultra-
orthodox sect which also has
been protesting the pool con-
struction, refused to join the
parade because it was held with
government sanction. They nev-
ertheless rained down pamph-
lets on the Agudah parade
which contained serious anti-
government statements. The
statements were disowned by
the Agudah demonstrators and
denouncd by them over loud-
speakers.
The government seized the
undistributed pamphlets remain-
ing in a Neturei Karta print-
shop. -

that four members of the Ku

Klux Klan in Chile accused of
antti-Semitic activities, appear-
ed before an Appeals Court
judge here.
The four have been under
arrest for some time because
of a suit brought against them
by the Jewish Community. At
the same time, a writ was pre-
s e n t e d in behalf of Franz
Schweitzer, Grand Dragon of
the Ku Klux Klan. The court
postponed decision until fur-
ther study of the case is made.
The four are charged with
attempting to bomb a syna-
gogue in Santiago and with
sending threatening letters to
Jews here demanding that they
send funds to a certain Horace
Sherman, Ku Klux Klan, Post
Office Box 5062, Waco, Tex.
The Jews were threatened that
their business enterprises
would be bombed if they did
not pay the blackmail.
