Jefferson's Story
Enriched by Life
With His Ladies
Thomas Jefferson's rich life
emerges in even greater enhance-
ment in "Mr. Jefferson's Ladies,"
the story of the third President's
devotion to his family, by Gordon
Langley Hall, published by Beacon
Press.
It is the story of Jefferson's
fragile wife, Mar- WV'
tha Wayles Jef-
ferson, who died
at an early age;
his t w o daugh-
ters — Martha
(Patsy) and
Mary (Maria)—
the only two of
their six children
who survived in-
fancy; the many
grandchi 1- Jefferson
dren, the in-laws and the sisters.
Jefferson was heartbroken by
his wife's death. Then Patsy be-
came the White House hostess.
Prior to that, Patsy and Maria
were with him in Paris, when he
was the U. S. ambassador to
France; they were with him as
hostesses when he was Vice Presi-
dent.
Hall's book is especially valu-
able because of the many historic
incidents that are recorded. Jef-
ferson's political life, the con-
flicts that ensued, with Burr and
others.
This is not only a story of a
happy family life, of devotion to
his offspring, his love for his many
grandchildren; it is part of the
history of his time.
It is also the story of Monticello,
the near bankruptcy of the famous
President. Patsy's forced exile
from Monticello during the latter
years of her life because of the
financial difficulties, her final re-
turn—to be buried there next to
her father.
Monticello was purchased by
Uriah P. Levy, the famed Jewish
Navy Commodore, and the Levy
family held it until 1923 when it
became the property of the Thom-
as Jefferson Memorial Foundation.
Hall's "Mr. Jefferson's Ladies"
is a magnificent work. It should be
read, and students of American
history should become acquainted
with it, as part of the early story
of our Republic.

`Phantom Israel:' ECOSOC Mystery
By SAUL CARSON
JTA Correspondent at the UN
(Copyright, 1966, JTA, Inc.)
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—The
United Nations Economic and So-
cial Council has just concluded its
40th session it meets twice ev-
ery year — with Israel once more
the phantom member of this vital
organ on the UN.
ECOSOC had just been enlarged
from 18 members to 27. In the
process of adding nine members to
this important body, no r o o m
could be found for Israeli mem-
bership. Three Arab members are
on ECOSOC now — Algeria, Mor-
occo and Iraq. There are two oth-
er Moslem states on the body —
Pakistan and the United Republic
of Tanzania. Because of the per-
petual lock-out from major UN
bodies enforced by the Arabs and
Moslems (backed by the USSR) —
a ploy tacitly accepted here even
by Israel's friends like the United
States, Britain and France — Is-
rael is conspicuously missing
among the members. Yet Israel
was there — not among the mem-
bers but among the topics on the
ECOSOC agenda. Israel was pres-
ent because two of the major is-
sues on that agenda concern Isra-
el. One of these issues is human
rights. The other is desalination of
water.
On the human rights front, Is-
rael is at least represented on two
of ECOSOC's subsidiary bodies —
the Commission on Human Rights
and that organ's Subcommission
on Prevention of Discrimination
and Protection of Minorities (the
title of that body has just been
changed, being called now a Com-
mittee of Experts. But in water
desalination, Israel lacks an offi-
cial ECOSOC voice. Yet one of the
major reports discussed by ECO-
SOC at this session dealt with wa-
ter desalination.
afre.•
The report had been submitted
by Secretary-General U Thant be-
cause the entire world is interest-
ed in obtaining more and more
fresh water for parched lands and
thirsty peoples around the globe.
"Phantom" Israel was all over that
report, explicitly and by implica-
tion.
The fact that the International
Atomic Energy Agency and the
United Nations Fund were both in-
volved in Israel's desalination
project was revealed for the first
time in Thant's report. It has been
known right along — since Presi-
dent Johnson announced two years
ago that America would cooperate
with Israel in the planning of a
dual-purpose, nuclear-powered de-
salination plant — that the project
was being studied jointly by the
USA and Israel. But it had never
been acknowledged openly that the
IAEA had an observer on the joint
USA-Israeli study team. And the
fact that the Special Fund had
been requested by Israel to help
study the general objective — and
that the fund had acceded to Is-
rael's request — that had also been
quietly ignored until Thant's re-
port had been filed with ECOSOC
Yet Israel has no fears on the
subject. The Secretary-General
himself reported to ECOSOC that
the recently completed U.S.-Israel
feasibility study indicated that the
source of energy for Israel's big
plant will "probably be nuclear."
Israel's plant is being envisaged as
one with a capacity of 100,000,000
gallons of fresh water daily,. and
the water is expected to be priced
reasonably.
"Phantom" Israel had reason for
satisfaction with the report and
the debates on desalination before
ECOSOC. But one question con-
tinued to irritate: Why wasn't Is-
rael officially represented at ECO-
SOC?

Shrinks Hemorrhoids
Without Surgery
Stops Itch—Relieves Pain
For the first time science has found
a new healing substance with the as-
tonishing ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids and to relieve pain — without
surgery. In case after case, while
gently relieving pain, actual reduc-
tion (shrinkage) took place. Most
amazing of all — results were so thor-
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like "Piles have ceased to
be a problem!" The secret is a new
healing substance (Bio-Dyne®)— dis-
covery of a world-famous research
institute. This substance is now avail-
able in suppository or ointment form
called Prepttration HO. At all drug
counters.
