Chicago JWV Leader,
Foe of Nazi Rockwell
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
CHICAGO — The Cook County
Coroners Office reported Wednes-
day that a heart attack was the
cause of death last Sunday of Dr.
Samuel Perlman, 60, a Jewish War
Veterans official and an active foe
of George Rockwell's American
Nazi Party.
Dr. Perlman, a member of the
JWV national board, was the chief
witness last month in a successful
suit filed in federal court to bar
Rockwell and his followers from
demonstrating near any synagogue
in Cook County.
Dr. Perlman, a dentist, said
that after a federal injunction
was issued, he had received sev-
eral threatening telephone calls.
There were also allegations that
Dr. Perlman had been physical-
ly attacked by two Nazis and
that he had reported the inci-
dent to the Chicago police.
However, the police said there
was no record of such a report,
and the coroners office, which said
Dr. Perlman had a lengthy record
of cardiac illness, reported that no
bruises were found on the body.
The coroners office also said
that no autopsy had been per-
formed because it was not con-
sidered necessary.
Dr. Perlman collapsed while
attending a Bnai Brith meeting at
Shaarei Tikva Synagogue. He was
pronounced dead on arrival at a
hospital.

Good and Bad Children
Children, you are very little,
And your bones are very brittle;
If you would grow great and stately,
You must try to walk sedately.
You must still be bright and quiet,
And content with simple diet;
And remain, through all bewild'ring,
Innocent and honest children.
Happy hearts and happy faces,
Happy play in grassy places—
That was how, in ancient ages,
Children grew to kings and sages.
But the unkind and the unruly,
And the sort who eat unduly,
They must never hope for glory—
Theirs is quite a different story
Cruel children, crying babies,
All grow up as cheese and gabies,
Hated, as their age increases,
By their nephews and their nieces.
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Jacques Bramson;
Directed ORT School
PARIS — Jacques Bramson, di-
rector of the 1,500 student ORT
school in Paris, the largest in the
ORT network in Europe, died here
last week. An engineer, he had
been associated with the Organiza-
tion for Rehabilitation Through
Training as a teacher and admin-
istrator for 26 years.
The school he headed, situated
in the industrial suburb of Mon-
treuil, is regarded by the authori-
ties and by educational specialists
as one of the foremost technical
institutes in Western Europe. The
building was a gift of the Inter-
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union of the United States.
In recognition of his innova-
tions in the training of adults
and his services in the rehabili-
tation of refugees, Mr. Bramson
received the French govern.

Social in 1958. He was the first

so honored. He also held the
Order of Commander in the

of the Croix de Guerre and the
Medaillee de la Resistance.
During the last five years, he

NEW YORK (JTA)—There have
been some anti-Semitic activities
in recent times in Australia, but
they have stemmed from a tiny
fraction of the community, report-
ed Nathan Beller, vice president of
the Victorian Jewish Board of
Deputies and a councillor of the
Executive Council of Australian
Jewry, which is affiliated with the
World Jewish Congress.
In a report to the World Jewish
Congress on Australia's 75,000
Jews and their community struc-
ture, Beller added that the import
of hate literature from abroad - was
under surveillance, in an effort
to use whatever legal process is
available to stop its transmission
through the mails. Beller said:
"We are of the opinion that anti-
Semitism is not a Jewish problem
primarily, but one that affects the
way of life, the liberty and free-
dom of every Australian."
The Australian Jewish leader
reported that the two main cen-
ters of Australian Jewry are Mel-
bourne, with about 35,000 Jews,
and Sydney, with about 32,000. The
remaining 8,000 to 10,000 Jews, he
said, are scattered in Perth, Ade-
laide, Brisbane, Canberra and
other centers.
Michigan's total land area of
35,494,080 acres is larger than
Greece, larger than Switzerland
and Portugal combined, and near-
ly five times the size of Belgium.

Rochefouc ald
Do kids like ice cream?
The answer, of course, is a rousing YES! Model for model, electric
dryers cost up to $20 less than gas dryers. And every electric dryer
is backed by Edison's No-Charge repair service. No charge for any
electrical parts. No charge for labor. Edison is the only utility company
in this area that offers no-charge repair service.
Can you get this kind of worry-free assurance with a gas dryer?
Sure—with a manufacturer's repair service policy. But it will cost you
up to $120 over the first five years of operation alone!
One thing more. Edison's No-Charge repair service applies even if
you don't buy your dryer from Edison—so long as the dryer is electric
and you get your electricity from Edison. And if you buy now from a
participating dealer, the low price you pay includes the cost of wiring,
if any's needed. So when you add it up, an electric dryer can save
you up to $140 in just a few years. That can
keep the kids in ice cream a good long time.
