Authority Praises Federation Program
The Jewish Welfare Federation's
implementation committee on hous-
ing for the elderly held its first
meeting Thursday and began work
on plans for the apartment-type
facility to be built in the Detroit
area.
Charles H. Chaskes, executive di-
rector of the Michigan State Com-
mission on Aging in Lansing, who
met with the committee, praised
the program of Federation and its
philosophy of looking to the con-
struction of housing for the aging
as an extension of social services
for senior citizens already available
in the Jewish community.
Joseph H. Jackier is chairman of
the committee.
Serving with Jackier as the
steering group of the new com-
mittee are Samuel Hechtman,
who will be head of a panel to
investigate the type of building
and its design; Jack 0. Lefton,
who will head a panel on admin-
istration of the facility; and Les-
lie Rose, heading the legal and
financing panel.
On the committee are Eugene J.
Arnfeld, Dr. Max R. Beitman, Ger-
son B. Bernstein, Paul D. Borman,
Martin E. Citrin, Nelson Dembs,
Harold N. Finney, Edward I.
Fl eischman, Samuel Frankel,
Arthur Howard, Milton Howard,
Jacob L. Keidan, Mrs. Henry Kro-
Ric. Nathan Levine, Dr. Hyman S.
Mellen, Graham A. Orley, Mrs. Vic-
for Shiffman, A. Richard Tischler
and David P. Zack.
Leonard N. Simons, who last
year was chairman of the explora-
tory committee of Federation which
looked into the feasibility of the
housing program; Hyman Safran,
Federation president; and Dr.
Peter Shifrin, chairman of the
health and welfare division of Fed-
eration, are ex-officio members.
Samuel Cohen, Federation assis-
tant director, is the staff resource
person.
Also serving on the committee
will be directors of Federation
agencies which will be involved
in the planning and program of
the housing facility.
Simons, whose committee recom-
mended the need for semi-indepen-
dent housing for the elderly, also
spoke at the meeting to acquaint
committee task force members with
the findings and conclusions of his
study, which formed the basis for
the Federation board of governors
decision to proceed with building
plans.

Sen. Driksen Tries Aga in With School Prayer
WASHINGTON (JTA)—A new
constitutional amendment aimed at
permitting the recitation of prayers
in public schools or other public
buildings, was introduced into the
Senate by Sen. Everett M. Dirksen,
Illinois Republican. A different
version of a school prayer amend-
ment also introduced by Sen.
Dirksen was rejected by the Senate
last year.
The new amendment provides
that nothing in the Constitution
"shall abridge the right of persons
lawfully assembled, in any public
building which is supported in
whole or in part through the ex-
penditure of public funds, to par-
ticipate in non-denominational
prayer."
