LONDON, (JTA) — Phyllis
Bottome, the non-Jewish novelist
and lecturer who was one of the
first to recognize the evils of the
Nazi regime in pre-World War
II Germany, and attempted to
warn England and America of
it, died here last weekend. She
was 79. Miss Bottome's best
known work was "The Mortal
Storm," an anti-Nazi novel pub-
lished in 1938 that became a
best seller.
She was greatly influenced by
the Austrian-Jewish psycholo-
gist, Alfred Adler, whom she
met during a period of residence
in Vienna. In 1938, she worked
in Austria to aid refugees fleeing
Hitler. Later, she continued her
anti-H itler activities in the
United States.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (JTA) —
Justice Philip Halpern, well-
known Jewish communal leader
and for six years United States
member of the United Nations
Subcommission on Prevention
of Discrimination and Protec-

Court's Appellate Division, was
on the UN Subcommission dur-
ing the height of the swastika-

UN resolution condemning anti-
Semitism ever to be adopted
by the world organization.
He served on the Subcommis-
sion, a subsidiary of the United
Nations Human Rights Commis-
sion, from 1954 to 1962. He also

in recognition of his work at
the United Nations. He was also

SUSSMAN
acknowledge with
grateful appreciation
the many kind expres-
sions of sympathy ex-
tended by relatives and
friends during the
family's recent be-
reavement.
In Memory of the Late
SAM SCHWARTZ
who passed away
Sept. 1, 1958
He bid no one a last fare-
well, he said goodbye to
none. The heavenly gates
were opened, a loving
voice said come.
We often sit and think of
you, the things you used
to say. We wonder why
you had to die, without a
chance to say goodbye.
More and more each day
we miss you. Some may
think the wound has
healed, but little do they
know the sorrow that
within our heart's con-
cealed.
Lovingly wife Anna
and family.
Presidents Mourn
Death of Johnston,
Mid-East Mediator
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Presi-
dent Kennedy and former Presi-
dents Eisenhower and Truman
expressed their deepest condol-
ences over the death of Eric A.
Johnston, author of a proposal
for comprehensive, Arab-Israeli
development of the Jordan River
valley. Johnston was 66.
Keenly interested in foreign
affairs, although his business
career was with the Motion Pic-
ture Association of America, of
which he was president, John-
ston was sent by President
Eisenhower to the Middle East,
in 1955, as a personal represen-
tative, to help resolve Middle
East tensions over the use of the
Jordan River waters. He drew
a plan, known by his name,
which would have established in
the Jordan River valley a proj-
ect similar to America's TVA.
Israel accepted the plan. The
Arab state first approved the
plan, then reneged. In their con-
dolences, Mr. Kennedy and both
Gen. Eisenhower and ex-Presi-
dent Triunan expressed their
warmest praise of Johnston.
