General Zionists Will
Meet in Amsterdam

. NEW YORK, (JTA)—The
tthird world conference of Gen-
eral Zionists, headed by Mrs.
Rose L. Halprin and Dr. Israel
Goldstein, will be held in Am-
sterdam in the middle of May,
it was announced following a
meeting here of the executive
of the Confederation.
The conference, which will
open on May 20, will discuss
the stand of the Confederation
on the issue of merger in Gen-
eral Zionism and other prob-
lems confronting the Zionist
movement today. The merger
issue was also discussed at the
executive meeting here.
Pointing to the growth of
the World Confederation of
General Zionists since its reor-
ganization in 1958, and the in-
creasing acceptance of the non-
party approach to Zionism,
Mrs. Halprin, who chaired the
meeting, declared that "affilia-
tion with political parties in
Israel weakens the chances of
achieving unity and: maintain-
ing harmony in Zionist ranks
in the Diaspora."

Miss Finkelstein packs
Astronaut's Lunch Pail

NEW YORK, (JTA)—If Col.
John Glenn- enjoyed his lunch
as his Mercury capsule orbited
over the world recently, he can
thank Beatrice Finkelstein.
Miss Finkelstein is a Hunter
College and Columbia Univer-
sity graduate in physiology and
chemistry who is now a research
nutritionist for the Air Force.
She is also a pioneer in the
science of space feeding.
She said that in three years
of research, she had learned
that there were very few foods
that cannot be packaged in the
collapsible squeeze tubes of the
type that Col. Glenn used.

Father JOHN LaFARGE,
S.J., Chaplain of the Catholic
Interracial Council, and GEORGE
K. HUNTON, executive secretary,
were honored by the American
Jewish Committee on their re-
tirement from the Council. Both
were among the founders in 1934
of the first Catholic Interracial
Council in this country. Their
efforts have since grown into
almost 40 councils and their fed-
eration, .the National Catholic
Conference for Interracial Justice.
