Histadrut Sponsors Tribute Dinner for Senator Patrick V. McNamara; Israeli Scholarship Fund Started By MARCY MILLER "In Israel today there is no provision for free high school education for immigrant children over the age of 14. This is the goal of Israel. Scholarships are the means by which these children can receive an education." These are the words of Yaacov Morris of the Israel Foreign Af- fairs Committee, keynote speaker at Saturday night's tribute dinner honoring Patrick V. McNamara. the senior senator from Michigan. Sen. McNamara consented to the testimonial only if the proceeds would go to a worthwhile project. Toward this end, a scholarship fund has been set up in the sen- ator's name by Histadrut, the Is- rael Labor Federation, which will enable Israeli teen-agers of di- verse backgrounds to acquire skills vital for a progressive society. Morris went on to say: "The political climate of the country is a democratic one. However, there is a difference in a policy which is based on equality, and real equality based on full equality of educational oppor- tunity. There is no equality in the advantages of a family of two or three from Europe and the disadvantages of those who come from other areas of the world and have six or seven children crowded into 2% rooms." After extending in the name of Histadrut an invitation to Sen. and Mrs. McNamara to visit Israel in the near future and personally acquaint themselves with the Is- raeli people, the special represen- tative of Israel to the United States cited the attempts being made by Histadrut to settle cul- turally underdeveloped Moroccans in the new Negev settlements. He added, "Education is the key to equality in every way." The theme of the tribute ban- quet was taken from one of Sen. McNamara's speeches in Congress in which he said. "The schoolroom is as vital to the freedom and de- fense of a nation as its military might." In accepting the tributes to him, Sen. McNamara stated: "The need for education is the root to the attack on poverty. Starting at the elementary and secondary levels, we have to prepare for the future. The scholarships that tonight's din- ner will help to provide will go to help students who could not other- wise receive an education beyond the elementary level. To each and every one of you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Other notables who brought greetings to the senator included Al Barbour, president of the Wayne County AFL - CIO and chairman of the dinner; Sen. Philip A. Hart, Michigan's jun- ior senator; Jerome P. Cavanagh, mayor of Detroit and honorary chairman of the dinner commit. tee; and former Gov. G. Mennen Williams, now assistant Secre- tary of State for African affairs. The Senator was also greeted by Ed Carey, president of the Detroit Common Council, who presented him with a plaque honoring his years of service to Michigan; and Edward Connor, chairman of the Wayne County Board of Super- visors. Gregory J. Bardacke, executive director of the American Trade Council for Histadrut, the ban- quet's sponsors, introduced guest speaker Morris. Sen. McNamara was introduced by Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer of the UAW, who has just returned from a tour of Israel, where he inspected the Histadrut institutions and met with important government offi- cials and representatives of Is- rael's labor movement. Friday, June 12, 1964 23 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Also participating in the pro- gram was Morris Lieberman, De- troit attorney and a national vice chairman of Histadrut, who pre- sented the senator with another tributary scroll. He commented on the problems of providing ade- quate scholarships to worthy stu- dents in Israel and the irreparable loss of talent represented in those who were rejected for lack of funds. Lieberman said, "It is from these very students who will benefit from Sen. McNamara's scholarship fund that hope will come to the people of Israel for a better world for all of us." Among those prominent in the fields of government, labor, indus- try and education who attended the event were George Edwards, U.S. District Court of Appeals; Walter Reuther, president of the UAW; State Attorney - General Frank Kelley; and George Ames, Edward C. Levy and Bernard J. Youngblood, cochairmen of the dinner committee. JNF Father's Day Certificates Issued The Jewish National Fund in a statement this week recommends the planting of trees as a tribute to Father on Father's Day, to be observed June 21. Appropriate certificates, bearing the names of those honored (or memorialized) and the names of the donors, will be mailed to the fathers honored, or to the relatives of fathers whose memory will be perpetuat- ed, by the planting of trees. Dr. Israel Wiener, JNF presi- dent, said: "The Jewish National Fund is again providing a par- ticularly appropriate and digni- fied way of honoring Father. A growing tree is a living tribute to every Father. Let trees in Israel honor or memorialize him." Certificates for trees planted at $2 each can be ordered from the Jewish National Fund office. UN 4-2767, or through JNF tree chair- men of affiliated organizations. Father's Day trees may be planted in the John F. Kennedy Peace Forest.
