sah's new "Eleanor Roosevelt
Youth Aliyah Center" was ded-
icated at Beersheba. with
.America's former "first lady"
in attendance and visibly
moved.
A granddaughter of Mrs.
Roosevelt, 16-year-old Nina,
daughter of Elliott Roosevelt,
unveiled the plaque in front
of the building bearing the
name of Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs.
Roosevelt is a patroness of the
World Youth Aliyah movement.
Praising the work of the
movement, Mrs. Roosevelt ex-
pressed the hope that "this
center may help develop loyal,
productive citizens" of Israel.
Mrs. Bertha Schoolman, of
the United States, presented
on behalf of Hadassah, a check
for $100,000 on the occasion
of the 25th anniversary of the
Youth Aliyah movement. The
new center houses 130 chil-
dren from the families of new-
ly-arrived immigrants.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt had
a prompt reply in Tel Aviv
to the question "Why do you
keep coming to Israel?" posed
to her by a group of Socialist
youth leaders participating in
the International Socialist
Youth Leaders Seminar here.
She replied that she was
impressed by the "remarkable
spirit and progress" of Israel
against the background of the
many difficulties caused by
"unfriendly surroundings."
She added that she was
speaking as a private citizen,
and that her views did not
represent those of the United
States Government. The ques-
tioners represented Tanganyika,
Burma, Jamaica, India and
West Germany.
Only 12 Jews Reported
in Troubled Nyasaland
SALISBURY, Rhodesia (JTA)
—There are believed to. be only
about 12 Jews in all of Nyasa-
land, the East African trouble
spot where violent revolts have
shaken the area recently. -
The Rhodesian Jewish Board
of Deputies and the Rhodesian

population in Nyasaland, they
are certain there are no more

Iran. After the war, however,
most of the Polish Jews left

Charge World Court with Duty
to Try Bulgarian Plane Incident
THE HAGUE (JTA) — Bul-
garia cannot unilaterally erase
its obligation to pay damages
of some $7,000,000 for shooting
down an El Al airliner in
1955 with a loss of 58 lives,
Shabtai Rosenne, chief legal
officer for the Israel Foreign
Ministry, contended here.
Arguing Israel's case before
the International Court of Jus-
tice, Rosenne centered his
argument against Bulgaria's
contention it was not obligated
to recognize World Court juris-
diction in the case.
Bulgaria had contended that,
while the former Kingdom of
Bulgaria did sign an inter-
national treaty in 1921, accept-
ing the jurisdiction of the old
Permanent Court of Inter-
national Justice, that signature
is now void, since the old
court had been affiliated with
the defunct League of Nations.
On the other hand, Bulgaria
has held, the present court
cannot assume jurisdictiOn over
Israel's complaint because, at
the time of the 1955 incident,
Bulgaria was not yet a mem-
ber of the United Nations. The
present court is an organ of
the UN.
Insisting that the court's
jurisdiction is valid, Rosenne
