Personality Profile

Meet Charles J. Bensley, the president of the Israeli Education
Fund, now proclaimed as a separate program by the United Jewish
Appeal .. . The Fund will seek* to raise $127,000,000 in this country,
within five years, for secondary education in Israel — a most pressing
and urgent need — and it is only natural that the campaign for such
a fund should be headed by a person who has a deep understanding
of education . . . Mr. Bensley is such a person . . . He has been a
member of the Board of Education of New York City for many years
.. Furthermore, he was chairman of the Board of Education's Com-
mittee on buildings and was primarily repsonsible for an $800,000,000
rirogram involving the construction of more than 350 schools . .. He is
the man best fit to be president of the capital fund drive for secondary
education in Israel, especially since he has taken an active interest
in Israel ever since the establishment of the Jewish State . . . Joseph
E. Meyerhoff, the well-known American Jewish philanthropist and out-
going national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, is similarly best
fitted as chairman of the board of the fund . . . His reputation a an
American Jewish community leader devoted to the cause of Israel has
long been established . . . Mr. Bensley, who is less known to Jews
throughout the country, but who is now coming to the forefront of
national Jewish leadership, has been quietly active in the UJA for years,
and made trips to Israel as a member of UJA study missions . . . He
has also visited Poland - on a UJA, study mission . .. Born in New York
57 years ago, he is the son of a Jewish immigrant from Russia who
had reached America with only five cents . . . He fought his way to a
law degree and today he speaks with the fluency of a lawyer and the
confidence of a self-made millionaire, both of which he is . . . He is
president of a petroleum company which distributes petroleum products
. . . In 1948 he was appointed by the New York mayor to the non-
salaried Board of Education post, and became a leading fighter for
better schools . . . He has been honored by the Urban League for
"crusading" for racial integration in the schools years before the
present integration movement started . . . He has received medals and
plaques and testimonial scrolls galore, including some from the Israel
Government . . . His friends say that he has provided scholarships
anonymously to medical students.

Path to Immortality

Leaders who attended the two-day conference in New York last
week, at which the Israel Education Fund campaign was announced,
have not the slightest doubt about the appeal which the drive will
have to individual Amgrican Jews who want to immortalize their' names
. . The campaign will not be' conducted through mass media but
rather through individual approaches to donors with specific projects
in mind . . . The donor will be given the privilege to have a secondary
school or other facility in Israel bearing his name or the name of any
other person he may designate . . . Depending on the sum he will
donate — the minimum gift is $100,000, payable over a period of three
to five years — the name of the giver will appear not only on school
buildings or on youth center buildings . . It will also be linked to
school laboratories in physics, chemistry and biology, to libraries, to
physical education facilities and to scholarship funds .. . There is no
doubt that numerous foundations established by Jews will contribute
.substantial sums to the Israel Education Fund . . . Non-Jewish founda-
, tions interested in education may also allocate sums for the Fund . . .
'Individual donors will have to pledge that their gifts to the Fund will
not prejudice their contributions to the regular UJA campaign, other-
wise the .Fund will not accept their gifts.

JERUSALEM — An Israel For-
eign Ministry spokesman said Wed-
nesday that "The Israel Govern-
ment and people and the entire
world cannot acquiesce in the lack
of action by the West German
government on removal of West
German scientists from Egypt
working on advanced weapon sys-
tems for the regime of President
,Nasser."
The statement was the first of-
ficial reaction to a statement by
Chancellor Ludwig Erhard last
week that his government had no
legal means of halting the work of
the scientists.

Recalling that it was the West
German Bundestag which pro-
posed taking legislative meas-
ures on the problem, the spokes-
man said that "Israel's demand
was and is that Bonn take all
necessary steps available to the

government to stop this culpable
activity forthwith."
The spokesman also referred to a
statement by the chancellor that
he favored extending the statute of
limitations for persecution of Nazi
war criminals beyond next May.
The spokesman said it was expected
that the West German government
would "find ways to ensure that
Nazi war criminals will not evade
punishment." He stressed that such
crimes could not be measured by
the criteria applied to customary
crimes.
The Israel cabinet is expected
to discuss the chancellor's state-
ments at its next meeting.
The Mapam faction in the Knes-
set demanded that the Foreign
Affairs and Security Committee
convene a special meeting on the
issue. Mapam also requested that
the issue be placed on the Knesset
agenda for consideration when
Parliament resumes its sessions
about the middle of next month.
Other opposition parties are con-
templating similar demands.
