WASHINGTON—President John-
son proclaimed E 11 i s Island,
through which millions of immi-
grant Jews passed en route to
American settlement, a United
States historic shrine.
He used the opportunity to ex-
press the hope again that Con-
gress would commit present "out-
dated" and "worn-out' immigration
laws "to history too."
At a White House ceremony, the
President issued the proclamation
and declared that he hoped the
present Congress "will draw on the
lessons of Ellis Island and enact
legislation to provide America with
a wise immigration policy adapted
to the needs of the 1960s."
The proclamation officially made
Ellis a part of New York Harbor's
Statue of Liberty National Monu-
ment. He announced he was ask-
ing Congress for funds to make the
island "a handsome shrine" to
commemorate the fact that 16,-
000,000 immigrants entered the
United States between 1892 and
1954, when it•was closed for immi-
gration processing.

LOS ANGELES (JTA)—A sharp
protest was lodged with the Fed-
eral Communications Commission
in Washington against Radio Sta-
tion KNX-CBS of this city, for
broadcasting a program lasting
31/2 hours, featuring George Rock-
well, leader of the American Nazi
P arty.
The complaint to the FCC,
coupled with a request that the

Commission investigate the oc-
currence, was filed by Rabbi
Hershel Lymon, president of the
Southern California Association of
Liberal Rabbis. Rockwell was the
"guest" on the station's "Michael
Jackson Program," which occu-
pied the air on its beam on April
27, from 7:30 to 11 p.m. When the
show was over, Rockwell himself

The President said that the
great migrations from. Europe
"made us not a mere nation that
a nation of nations. These steer-
age immigrants entered into the
very fiber of American life, and
each made contributions to the
American cause."

Referring to bills proposed by
his administration which would
abolish the present national ori-
gins quota system, the President
said "This long overdue change"
should be enacted "without fur-
ther delay."
A number of noted American
Jews who passed through Ellis
Island as immigrants were cited
by name by the President at the
ceremony. He mentioned Irving
Berlin, David Dubinsky, Justice
Felix Frankfurter, Jacob Potofsky,
Admiral Hyman Rickover — who
was present at the ceremany —
David Sarnoff and others.

Hospital Dinner to Pay
Tribute to Memory
of Concord Founders

KIAMESHA LAKE, N.Y.—A tri-
bute to the memory of Arthur and
Jean Winarick, founders of the
world famous Concord Hotel at
Kiamesha Lake, N.Y., will be held
at the 12th annual fund-raising din-
ner of the Monticello Hospital June

9.

The local community hospital,
only a few miles from The Con-
cord, was one of the active charit-
able interests of the Winaricks.
The dinner will take place at the
hotel.
Designation of the event as a
memorial tribute is unique in the
12-year history of the $100-a-couple
fund-raising event. It's also uni-
que in the 40-year history of the
community non-profit hospital.
The Winaricks were pacesetters
for the resort area, as well as
for the hospital. Both were hosts
at many past hospital dinners,
and contributed a great deal to
the growth of the community in-
stitution.
Two members of the Concord
Hotel's managem^nt family pre-
sently sit on the board of trustees
of the community hospital. Ray
Parker, manager of the hotel, has
been a Monticello Hospital trustee
over 12 years. Gordon Winarick,
executive director of the resort,
has been on the board of trustees
for eight years. He has just com-
pleted three consecutive terms as
president of the hosiptal board.
Following the death of Arthur
Winarick, late in 1964, the em-
ployes and business associates of
The Concord created a permanent
fund named The Arthur Winarick
Memorial Fund For Cardiology
Development at The Monticello
Hospital.

greatest opportunity ever given
me."
In his letter to the FCC, Rabbi
Lymon noted that a telegram had
been sent to the station, protest-
ing the scheduling of the lengthy
Rockwell exposure, telling the sta-
tion it was "irresponsibly present-
ing the man whose uniform and

American dead of World War II."
Rabbi Lymon charged in his
complaint that KNX-CBS provided
for the American Nazi "the larg-
est audience he ever had in his
life," giving him "the opportunity
to endanger the public safety with
his incitements of hatred against
minority peoples who are part of
the general community."
