Hitler Birthplace Reverts to Beerhall PARIS — The house where Adolf Hitler was born is to be turned into a beerhall, according to the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune. Located on Salzburger Vorstadt 15, in Braunau, Austria, the house bears no plaque or mention in tourist folders, but as one local resident Pointed out, "everyone knows where it is." The only Hitler memento left in the building is a scale model of old Braunau made by a local crafts- man and handed to the fuehrer in 1938. It was sent back to Braunau soon after, some say because the leader of the Reich didn't like to be reminded that he was born in the upper story of a popular beer- hall. These famous American Jewish leaders of half a century ago were the founders of the National Jew- ish Welfare Board and members of JWB's executive committee during World War I and founders and leaders of other national Jewish organizations of that day.

Agency- U.1A Merger Broadens Base ) (Continued from Page 1) "In effecting the consolidation of these two organizations, we are not merely concerned with the desire to achieve a greater degree of operating efficiency," Stone said. "Our concern is not only with budgeting and administration of programs, but with human lives. The more than 1,250,000 Jews we helped bring to Israel during the past 18 years represent a unique testimony to Jewish survival and Jewish self-help; yet the job is far from complete. There are still hundreds and thousands of Jews the world over who require reset- tlement and this, too, is our re- sponsibility." Stone noted that the merging of the two organizations will "en- able us to give recognition to the deep concern of the American Jew- ish contributor for the continued adequate and effective functioning of these vital philanthropic pro- grams, and offer full scope for the ) participation and involvement of all sectors of American Jewry throughout the country." He pointed out that, as long as any Jew in need the world over has a right to come to Israel and be as- sisted in the process of resettle- ment and rehabilitation "simply because he is a Jew," every :Ierican Jew ought to consider Ais moral responsibility to con- ,, ,..tbute to the cost of receiving and resettling these refugees be- cause he, too, is a Jew. i Gottlieb Hammer, executive vice president of the United Israel Ap- peal, Inc., reviewing the achieve- ments of the two organizations in- / volved in the merger over the past six years, reported that, during this period, a total of 275,800 per- sons had been aided through a 1 wide variety of resettlement and rehabilitation services involving a total American contribution of $190,800,000. Among the major items included in this total, Hammer listed: $54,- 774,000 for transportation and re- lated activities; $37,194,000 for re- ception and initial, absorption; $44,113,000 for resettlement in agri- Cultural communities; $29,916,000 ) for immigrant housing; $9,000,000 for youth care and training; $8,- 839,000 for higher education and related educational and cultural activities; while the balance was ' spent on administrative services. Hammer noted that, despite the 1 extensive and effective network of Services financed with these heavy expenditures, the rehabilitation of many of the new arrivals was still far from complete. "The problem of the 'two Israels'," Hammer de- clared, "the need for educational facilities; the need for added facil- ities for the care of the aged and the sick—these are some of the deficits in our activities which can no longer be swept under the rug." Dr. Emanuel Neumann, member of the Jewish Agency executive and honorary chairman of the Zionist Organization of America, reviewed the history of the United Israel Appeal from its inception in 1925. He noted that the UIA had served not only to unify Zion- ist fund-raising efforts and subse- quently to pave the way for in- creasing participation of non-Zion- ist elements in its leadership, but that in joining with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Commit- tee, in establishing the United Jewish Appeal it had become a partner in setting up "the most comprehensive a n d constructive agency in American Jewish life." Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, executive vice chairman of the UJA, expressed confidence that the new organization will help strengthen the work of the UJA in Jewish communities throughout the country. He reported that the UJA campaign was steadily mov- ing upward. Receipts in 1965 were $3,000,000 ahead over 1964, and there were good chances for a substantial further increase in 1966, he said. Irving Kane, chairman of the overseas service committee of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, expressed his deep gratification with the merger which had been worked out by the two organizations in close co- operation with the council.
