Americans in Israel Seek Equal Voice in Planning Emigration From U.S. TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Dele- gates to the annual convention of the Association of Ameri- cans and Canadians in Israel approved a resolution calling on the government and Jew- ish Agency to give the associa- tion an equal voice in the plan- ning and the implementing of all programs for emigration from the United States and Canada. They called on the World Zionist Organization to extend to the association a special in- vitation to attend WZO meet- ings as an affiliate. The dele- gates said this request was jus- tified by the fact that non-Zion- ists had been participants and that such an Aliyah-oriented group as their association should also be involved. Another resolution called for widening knowledge of Ameri- can and Canadian Jewries in view of the "increasing gulf of misunderstanding" between Is- raeli and American Jewish comunities. Mrs. Ruth Bokstein was elected national president. Publication of a book, "On the Soil," on American and Cana- dian farm settlements in Is- rael was announced during the convention.

He had a birthday party at which he made a little speech. He said he was proud of being 80. Any shnook, he said, can be 70, but to be 80 you have a kind of quality. Privately, Isaac told me that on the morning of his eightieth birthday, he filled a glass of schn a pps and said to himself loud. "L'C hayim. Isaac, I wish you a happy year." We are con- stantly in the process of a dialogue with ourselves, but usually it is silent and the chances a r e we don't even hear our- selves. What is the use of Carmel talking to yourself, if you don't hear it. This fellow, Cassius Clay, that we've been reading about in the papers, has the right approach. He tells him- self out loud how good he is. "I am the best, I am pretty, I am the king." Somewhere in the Mishna, there is a discussion about the time of reciting the morning prayers. One may say the morn- ing prayers, we are told, until noon. But how is it legitimate to recite the morning prayers that late? The answer given by the rabbis is that all the children of Israel are likened unto kings and it is the habit of kings to sleep late. So the prize fighting cham- pion is in accord with the Jew- ish tradition in telling himself he is a king. He tells himself nice things, and so he gains self-confidence. Don't say evil things to your- self. I am afraid that's what most of us do and we end up not liking ourselves very much. Speaking again about Isaac Carmel, last year, he had a long siege of sickness, from which he is now happily recovered. He told me that while recuperating, he used to spend a lot of time making up stories mentally. What kind of stories? I asked. Well, said Carmel, there was one story about three people who took sick. They were told they only had six months to live. Two of them decided to go to Paris and live it up for the last six months. The Jew went to another doctor. $74.5 Million Raised by 125 Communities in Spring 1963 Jewish Campaigns NEW YORK—(JTA)—A total of $74,497,206 was raised for local, national and overseas needs in 1963 spring campaign of 125 cities—exclusive of New York City—in the United States and Canada, according to figures released by the Council of Jew- ish Federations and Welfare Funds. Final figures on 1963 fall campaigns are being compiled and will be released at a later date. The totals for the spring cam- paign cities reflected a mixed pattern of performance in com- munities of all sizes, with 44 cities registering increases, a few attaining their 1962 figures, and the others falling short in varying degrees. The overall change in the 125 cities was a drop of 4 per cent from their 196'2 results. The report noted that more than $48 million of the over $74 million pledged in 1963 came from 13 cities with Jewish populations of over 40,000. Slightly more than $8.5 million came from 12 cities in the 15,000 to 40,000 category; nearly $12 million came from 37 cities in the five to 15,000 grouping, and nearly $6 million from 63 com- munities containing less than 5,000 Jews.

Six of the defendants, includ- ing the Rev. Lionginas Jan- kus, of Brooklyn, executive di- rector of the United Lithuanian Relief Fund, were sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment, while the seventh man was given a 10- year term. Rev. Jankus had been tried in absentia. (The Rev. Jankus, now an American citizen, . denied the charges in New York, declaring on the contrary, that he had delivered food and clothing to JeWs in his area rounded up in the woods to be shot.)
