Fruition of two years of plan-
ning came this week when the
Detroit Section, National Coun-
cil of Jewish Women, announced
it will establish a "Half-Way
House" f o r emotionally dis-
turbed children.
With a history of recognized
organization f or aid . to the
mentally ill, Detroit Section in
1958 launched an investigation
of the facilities and care for
these people at the agencies
and institutions in this area.
The study showed that a
major problem exists in bring-
ing back children from these
treatment centers into a normal
social environment.
Because of the lack of facili-
ties between the treatment cen-
ter and the home, an alarming
number of youngsters were re-
leased too early to their homes
or were sent on to state hos-
pitals.
The proposed Half-Way House
will provide a sustaining envi-
ronment which will help the
child to achieve social adjust-
ment and ultimately return to
his family.
Plans describe it as a group
home for 10 children, ages six
to 12, simulating the atmos-
phere of a normal family set-
ting, near a public school, close
Arab Leader
Tours Canada
OTTAWA, (JEA )—Mohammed
Abdel Hassouna, secretary-gen-
eral of the Arab League, met for
a half-hour this weekend with
Prime Minister John G. Diefen-
baker here. The visit was de-
scribed as a "courtesy" call, and
it was emphasized by a govern-
ment spokesman that no political
subjects were discussed.
Later, Hassouna held a press
conference, in which he repeated
customary Arab League
charges about Israel's alleged "re-
fusal" to abide by United Nations
resolutions, declaring the "Arab
world objects to the establishment
of Israel." He called for "repatri-
tion" of Arab refugees to Israel.
The Canadian press said scant
attention to Hassouna's visit or
anti-Israeli declarations.
Colonel Hillel Al-Daag, chief
of the Israeli Army's engineering
corps, continued today to visit
Canada's major military installa-
tions, as a guest of the Dominion
Department of Defense. Al-llaag
arrived here last week at the in-
vitation of the Canadian Army. He
is accompanied on his tour' by
Nol A. Tsur, assistant military at-
tache to the Israel embassies here
and in Washington.

Saved Jews During War
Israel Honors German Catholic Doctor Who
BONN, (JTA) — A German
Catholic social worker who, dur-
frig the war, saved the lives of
many Jews, will be honored by
having a grove of olive trees
planted in Israel in her name, it
was announced here in the offi-
cial Bulletin of the Federal Re
public of Germany.
The woman is Dr. Gertrud
Luckner of Freiburg, where she
is the senior social worker of the
Catholic Charities, in charge of
aiding former victims of Nazi
persecution.
Dr. Luckn
by Is
1951 as "Envoy of Humanity."
Israel has invited her five times
as a guest of the government.
According to the bulletin, Dr.
Luckner managed during the
Nazi regime to smuggle many
Jews across the German borders
c
to safety. In 1943, however, she
was arrested by the Nazis for
aiding Jews, and spent the fol-
lowing two years in a concentra-
tion camp, at Ravenbruck. The
grove in Israel will be dedicated
in honor of her 60th birthday.

CASABLANCA — Morocco's
former Minister President Ab-
