Thwarting the 'Cart-Nappers'

To The Jewish News
Two inventive Detroiters, IRVING STOLLMAN (left) and
RICHARD GERLOFF, demonstrate a device they created to
remedy a multi-million dollar headache in the supermarket
field, the theft of carts—or as they nut it, "cart-napping." A
device placed on the carts would react to magnets which
would be buried around a market and lock the wheels of the
carts. Thousands of the carts, costing upward of $50 each, are
wheeled away each year from the nation's supermarkets.
To Start Medical Institute
Record-Shattering Fund Drive
Assured by City of Hope Dinner
With a sum of $85,000 in con-
tributions reported a Ire a d y,
members of the Business Men's
Group of the City of Hope, this
week looked forward to closing
their fund-raising campaign with
close to a record $100,000 for
the Duarte, Calif., medical cen-
ter.
The majority of the funds
were raised last Sunday at the
a n n u al Champagne Dinner-
Dance of the Businessmen's
Group in the Sheraton-Cadillac
Hotel.
Inspired giving followed an
announcement by Dr. Morris
Fishbein, the evening's guest
speaker, of a new project to cre-
ate at the City of Hope an In-
stitute of Advanced Medical
Learning.
Dr. Fishbein, former editor of
the Journal of the American
Medical Association, already
has been named director of the
Institute, which is attracting
some of the best known people
in the medical world to serve
On its staff.
The Institute, according to
Dr. Fishbein, is to be patterned
after the Einstein Institute of
Advanced Science at Princeton,
N.J., and the Stanford Institute
for Social Sciences, with the
same criteria and controls used
to select the most promising
men and women for medical re-
search.
"Gone are the days," Dr. Fish-
bein said, "when we could look
forward to one great medical
discovery in 10 years. Today, we
have 10 great discoveries' every
year."
He said that life expectancy
today is 69 for the average man
and 75 for the average woman,
adding that it is now being pre-
dicted that the average life ex-
pectancy will rise to the 80's
and 90's.

Malben's Program Evaluated at JDC Geneva Meeting
One of the problems that the
City of Hope Institute will ex-
plore, Dr. Fishbein indicated, is
that of what to do about the
aged. With such an increase in
life 'expectancy, there will be
the challenge of how to make
him a useful person.
Citing numerous instances
of r es e a r c h advancement
made at the City of Hope, Dr.
Fishbein referred to Detroit-
born researcher, Dr. Eugene
Roberts, and his discovery of
the growth of cancer cells. It
may be, he stressed, that this
can lead to a medical method
of solving cancer.
Cancer, leukemia, heart dis-
ease and other rare afflictions
in the field of bio-genetics all
will be explOred at the City of
Hope Institute, Dr. Fishbein
said.
Participating in the program
were Ben Goldberg, president,
who referred to a citation given
the Business Men's Group at the
convention in Duarte this sum-
mer, and extended greetings to
the guests.
_ Max Spoon, a vice-president,
delivered the invocation, and
Rabbi Jacob Segal introduced
the speaker. Eugene Epstein,
chairman of the board, read the
roll call of hosts for the eve-
ning.
Robert Adell, on behalf of the
Adell family, turned over the
keys to a new station wagon to
be used as an ambulance at the
institution.
An award was made to Col.
David Saffir, honorary chairman
_ of the board, for his "outstand-
ing work and achievement" for
the City of Hope.
A program of entertainment,
featuring comedian Jack Carter,
singer Paula Stewart and Artie
Fields and his orchestra con-
'eluded the evening.

Stops Itch--Relieves Pain
GENEVA — American Jews
have been enabled to identify
themselves with Jewish com-
munities throughout the world
through the work of the Joint
Distribution Committee Edward
M. M. Warburg, JDC chairman,
said Monday.
Speaking at JDC's 14th annual
overseas conference here, War-
burg drew a parallel between
the JDC and the United Nations,
asserting that both were striv-
ing in the same direction and
that both included representa-
tives of both developed and un-
developed countries. About 125
delegates, including directors
from 25 countries where the
JDC has operations, were in
attendance.
Louis D. Horowitz, director
for Israel, told the conference
that Malben, the JDC program
in Israel for the aged, ill and
handicapped, should be fully
implemented. He said "much
remains to be done" in solving
the problem of many new im-
migrants and that JDC coopera-
tion with - other agencies and
with the Israel Ministry of
Health and Social Welfare was
the key to success of JDC opera-
tions in Israel. JDC should have
an even more significant role
than in the past in improving
the health and welfare of all
Israelis, he added.
Horowitz said that the num-
ber one task of Malben was to
make direct attack on difficult
cases in certain areas of Israel.
An intensive study of difficult
cases had already been under-
taken in one transit camp and
"we found that their greatest
needs are housing and economic
help."

One-Third of U.S.
NEW YORK, (JTA) — One-
third of the population of the
United States—Jews, Catholics
or Protestants — are religious
"resisters," in the sense that
they do not participate in the
programs of their faiths and
"are virtually unknown to
rabbi, priest or minister," ac-
cording to the results of a sur-
vey announced by a prominent
Christian church statistician.
The survey, conducted in
Nassau County, in suburban
New York, was summarized by
the Rev. Leland Gartrell, execu-
tive secretary of the depart-
ment of church planning and
research of the Protestant
Council of the City of New
York. The "resisters," accord-
ing to Rev. Gartrell, donate no
monies to the organized relig-
ious communities of their faiths,
and rarely attend synagogue or
church except when necessary,
as when there is a funeral in
the family.
of the mentally ill and those
with chronic diseases, he said
that in addition to its major
contributions to the welfare of
Israel's population, M alb en
could also make a significant
contribution toward easing ten-
sions within the different com-
munities by reducing material
differences between old and new
settlers.

'Resists' Religion,
Rev. Gartrell's figures show
that, in Nassau County, there
are now 329,000 Jews—but he
emphasizes that this is "a cul-
tural count," and does not sep-
arate practicing Jews from Jews
who are "resisters." Percentage-
wise, the figures show, the Nas-
sau County "cultural count" of
Jews has increased in the last
seven years, by comparison with
the overall population. The
Jews numbered 15.8 percent of
the total population in 1952,
went up to 26.5 percent last
year, and increased slightly to
26.6 percent this year.
