CJFWF Will Study Mental Impairment Among Jewish Aged NEW YORK (JTA) Mental impairment in a constantly grow- ing population of aged persons and the impact of this develop- ment on Jewish homes for the aged will be studied by the Coun- cil of Jewish Federations and Wel- fare Funds. The project, started this year, is financed by a three-year grant of 5224.640 by the federal govern- ment and involves homes for the aged throughout the United States and Canada. In outlining the background of the project. the CJF'WF said the greatly increased survival rate of persons into advanced old age, as well as changes in the average age and condition of applicants for in- stitutions for the aged since the start of social security and federal public welfare, had created a large and growing reservoir of depen- dent aged persons needing care. At the same time that the age of persons in homes for the aged nursing homes and other institu- tions for the long-term sick in- creases, the number of mentally impaired persons among them also is growing. the CJFWF reported. It cited an earlier health services coordination study at five Jewish homes for the aged whiCh showed that mental impairment was the most common affliction in more than four out of ten residents studied. Where's a 1 1-in-33 chance you'll have a mentally retarded baj here's how to lower the odds.

Jews From Algeria Ponder Immigration Woes at Conference PARIS (JTA) — Measures to deal with the religious, cultural and social problems arising from the immigration into France in recent years of the more than 100,000 Jews from Algeria and other North African countries. were discussed here last weekend at a conference sponsored by the Association of Jews from Algeria. Among the resolutions adopted was one calling for the immediate establishment of a regional corn- mission for cultural and educa- tional affairs to deal with specific problems posed by the influx. Another resolution appealed to all French Jews and institutions as well as international Jewish bodies to give aid generously to help resolve. this problem which is. "seriously imperiling the Jewish personality of thousands of these uprobted persons." The meeting also called for con- tinued efforts to secure compen- sation, for property lost by Jews who left Algeria. Whimpering Arabs at the UN End Their Hate With Whine Keren Hayesod Appeals to Jewry of World for Increased Assistance JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Eshkol told the final dinner ses- sions of the world convention of Keren Hayesod that if world Jewry will "give us the means and the Jews, we shall double our number within two .decades." Israel now has over 2,000,000 Jews. Premier Eshkol called the Keren Hayesod the "strongest link" in the chain joining Israel with Jews outside of Israel. Dr. Israel Gold-' stein, Keren Hayesod world chair - man, also asked world Jewry for increased aid. He said that in ad-* dition to physical pioneering in Israel there should be a readiness to aid Israel with financial help. Louis Pincus, the Jewish Agency treasurer, warned that unless the needed funds for Israel were made available, there would be no way to avoid cutting essential services. Reports of the delegates revealed generally an increase in income, but those from South America and South Africa reported that diffi- culties had arisen stemming from foreign exchange regulations and devaluation affecting campaigns in several countries. Bernard Ferster of Australia suggested an appeal be made to UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—Some people like to start a venture that concerns them with a bang, even when they know they must end with a whimper. The Arabs are different. Between mid-November and the end of 1964, first in the Security Council. then in the Gen- eral Assembly, they opened with a whimper and ended with a whine. Everybody here, they complained from beginning to the closing cur- tain, is out of step — except of course. the Arabs. Of 115 members at the United Nations. 102 insisted on peace and international cooperation. But the 13 Arab states knew how wrong this majority was. Not that the Arabs were opposed to peace— on their terms. Not that they hated international cooperation, so long as that doctrine was applied to them only. They even approved of liberty—for the Israel-hating Arabs. They had no hesitancy whatever endorsing the principle of territorial integrity—so long as Israel were to be excluded from the application of such a rule. Due to the stubborn fact that the 102 members could not agree with the novel thesis put forth by the recalcitrant 13. the Arabs had a miserable holiday season. Even their Russian pals were sorry for them. For the Russians, say what you will, strut with confidence. But the Arabs mere- ly wring their hands in total frustration. Take the Security Council's five- week-long debate on last Novem- ber's shooting affray between Syria and Israel, for instance. It was the Syrians who had rushed to the Council with a complaint against I s r a e li aggression. This time. they were sure. they had a tight case. Didn't the Israelis not only admit that their air force crossed Syrian air space, pounding the Syrian gun positions that had done nothing but shell Kibbutz Dan mercilessly? Israel, to be sure, not only admitted that fact—it even boasted about the success of its air arm. And what did the Council do? In- stead of condemning Israel, it wanted to put through a resolu- tion equating "innocent" Syria with "aggressive" Israel by call- ing upon both sides, equally, to stop shooting from the hip. Morocco, as the sole Arab member of the Council, did, in- deed, present a resolution se- verely condemning - Israel. But Morocco could get only its two Communist pals to help it vote "yes," these being the USSR and Czechoslovakia. A 11 other eight members of the Council abstained; since there must be at least seven affirmative votes the United Nations in the Council for the adoption of any resolution, the Moroccans —and the Arabs as a whole- ' suffered an ignominous defeat. To be sure, the Russians tried their best—on the suface. When the mild American-BrLish resolu- tion came to a vote, the Russians exercised their veto — and that draft failed to pass. At the Coun- cil's very first of its 10 sessions on this issue, Syria had made a very long speech. When the Rus sians had finally cast their expec- ted veto, Syria again delivered a long speech. Syria cried at the be- ginning, wept at the end. And no one even bothered to hand the Arabs a towel. * * * Then, take the General Assem- bly. Nine Arabs had spoken and had declared war against Israel. One Israeli, A b b a E b a n, had called for decency and for peace. Eban replied to the nine, reaffirm- ing the wish for peace, at the same time warning that the so-called "A r a b Liberation. Organization," which he called an "Israel Liqui- dation Organization." would not get very far because (al Israel will defend itself in the future as it has in the past; the rest of the world. as shown by the peace calls of 102 nations. does not happen to agree with the Arabs. With typical chivalry, the Arabs could not let Eban's solo voice stand by itself. If not nine against one, they could afford at least two. Two Arabs an- swered. The General Assembly yawned — almost audibly. On that note, the A s s e m bly ad- journed for the holidays. Eban and Michael Comay—Is- rael's permanent representative here—walked out with their heads held high. Once again, the Arabs had made fools of themselves. But Eban and Comay had no time to gloat. They were off to an import- ant luncheon appointment—with the Ghanaian president of this year's General Assembly. Was that very luncheon with the leading African here an addi- tional slap at the Arabs? The Arabs seemed to think so. As the season opened—so it closed, with a cry of pain from Balaam's ass. But maybe the animal should not have opened his mouth in the first place. St. Paul Center Opened ST. PAUL (JTA) — Governor Karl Rolfaag and Mayor George Vavoulis joined other civic and political leaders, Jewish and non- Jewish, when the entire Jewish community participated in the for- mal opening of St. Paul's new $1,500,000 Jewish community cen- ter. The delegates adopted a resolu- tion that world Jewry should as- sume responsibility for two-thirds of the cost of immigration and absorption costs with Israel paying the other third. Another resolu- tion called on Jewries outside of Israel, with the exception'of Ameri- can Jewry. to increase fund-rais- ing by a minimum of $20,000,000 over the next four years. The dele- gates sent their best wishes to Moshe Sharett, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive, who is in a hospital.
