Sorority Officers at Washington U. Quit; Slam Bias (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) WASHINGTON — Five top- ranking officers of Chi Omega Sorority at George Washington University resigned here Wednesday, protesting against discriminatory practice against Jews upheld by the sorority's alumnae and set forth as part of its national policy. The group resignation, which followed a meeting between sorority members and alumnae representatives with university officials trying to mediate, came as a climax to a series of pres- sures which the alumnae had been trying to put on members since the season for new mem- bers began last fall. According to the leader of the resignees, Linda Frost of Washington, the five official- ly resigned after a Jewish girl who had been voted into the sorority by members was ve- toed by alumnae. Sorority rules entitle alumnae to have the final say on membership. While the alumnae have avoided making any outright anti-Semitic statements, Miss Frost explained, the Jewish can- didate was turned down by them because she did not have a recommendation from an alumna in her home town. The vetoing group also added that according to the sorority's constitution, a prospective mem- ber must be "a believer in Christian ideals." It was also explained that the alumnae had complained last fall when two Jewish girls had been pledged. They had warned the officers that no more Jewish candidates would be accepted when the new rush season began. As is the case in most aca- demic institutions, G e or g e Washington University policy prohibits discrimination in stu- dent honorary and professional societies, but social organiza- tions are free to select their own members. Hadassah Honors Queen Mother of Belgium for Her Aid to Aliyah NEW YORK, (JTA)—Belgium's Queen Mother Elisabeth was awarded Hadassah's Henrietta Szold Award for 1964—which includes a citation and a $1,000 gift—on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the founding of Youth Aliyah. More than 1,000 leaders and members of Hadassah attended the ' conference at New York Hilton Hotel where Belgian Am- bassador Andre Forthomme ac- cepted the Szold award on be- half of the queen mother. The presentation was made by Mrs. Siegfried Kramarsky, national president of Hadassah. Queen Mother Elisabeth was honored for "her commitment and dedication to the cause of Youth Alivah," which, the cita- tion state, "helped to deliver countless thousands of the child- ren of Israel from the hands of evil and destruction into the hands of healing and salvation." The actual presentation of the Henrietta Szold Award to the queen mother will be made March 10 at the Chateau de Stuyvenberg in Brussels, by a delegation to be backed by Mrs. Kramarsky. Moshe Kol of Jerusalem, world head of Youth Aliyah, told the conference that, with- in the next five years, Youth Aliyah plans to absorb 25,000 children—between the ages of 13 and 17—from three world areas: North Africa and Asia, East ern Europe and Latin Amer- ica. He said that the first 5,000 children will be taken into Youth Aliyah between April 1, 1964 and March 30, 1965. This he noted, will be 1,000 more than the 4,000 normally absorbed into Youth Aliyah annualy. The 318,000 members of Had- assah were urged by the lead- ers of the organization to make their views known "as individu- al Americans" on the pending civil rights legislation now be- fore Congress by communicat- ing with their congressional rep- resentatives. The JERUSALEM (JTA) cabinet decided to hold this year's Independence Day par- ade on April 16 in Beersheba, in response to requests from that city's mayor and from var- ious settlements in the Negev. Beersheba will henceforth be included in the list of cities which will be hosts to the par- ade on a rotating basis. Sale or Lease "Service is Important" Best Location in Area ..

JERUSALEM — The Hebrew University has received a con- tribution of $200,000 from Ted Chanock of Los Angeles for the establishment of a virology de- partment wing in the University Medical School. The appeal was contained in a statement approved by 200 delegates to Ha dassah's conference. The statement de- clared that "the enactment of effective and realistic legisla- tion by this session of Cong- ress is a moral issue and is imperatitve for guaranteeing to all citizens their constitu- tional rights and for enhanc- ing the image of America at home and aboard. . Delegates representing 1,320 chapters and groups throughout the United States and Puerto Rico also called on Congress to remove the defects and inequ- alities" of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, popu- larly known as the McCarran- Walter Act. The delegates declared that the act "embodies policies and principles entitrely out of har- mony with the American tradi- tion of offering a haven to the oppressed and of equality and justice." The delegates also endorsed proposals made by President Johnson in his State of the Union message, including creating of a National Service Corps, providing school aid , funds and particularly his call for a policy of abolish- ing "not some but all racial discrimination." Congressional support of re- visions of Pubic Law 480, gov- erning American surplus goods, under which Israel has received substantial gifts of such goods, and extension of this legislation for another five years, was also urged.
