Economic Survival 81,000,000 for Jerusalem Boys Town Concern of Elderly, Aged Parley Told NEW YORK—This city which likes to think its social welfare programs are the nation's most progressive—is failing to .take ad- vantage of a substantial number of federal aids which could im- prove conditions for its aged." That statement was made here last week by Ellen Winston, -U.S. commissioner of welfare of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare before 250 leading representatives of health and wel- fare agencies at a Conference on Communal Planning of the Aged. The conference was sponsored by the Home and Hospital of the Daughters of Israel, now planning construction of a new 500-bed Jewish Institute for Geriatric Care costing over $12,000,000. The Home and Hospital called the planning conference to find out what services and facilities will provide the broadest array of neW and expanded program con- cepts for the aged. In her address, Commissioner Winston added: "One cloud shadows our pleas- ure at seeing the progressive trends exemplified by the new Institute—and that cloud is our continued failure to see that all,_of our elderly, not just some of them, are free of the economic worries impairing their ability to seek out, and use the oppor- tunities which this institute and other programs for the aged are developing. "The average amount of an elderly person's Social Security check is $84 monthly. The average payment for persons receiving Old Age Assistance is $67 monthly. For all too many, such sums rep- resent total income. In fact, almost one-third of all persons over 65 in the U.S. live in dire poverty. "Most Americans do not realize that for these people, sheer sur- vival is an all-absorbing concern. Counseling services, workshops, health check-ups, opportunities to participate in civic, religious or creational activities — all such re valuable programs and service are almost meaningless to people too miserable to know or care what goes on outside the substandard rooms in which they live.

Religious Zealots Clash on Autopsies in Israeli Hospitals (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) JERUSALEM — A rock- throwing chanting crowd of some 4,000 religious zealots, protesting autopsies in Israeli hospitals, clashed with police in Jerusalem's center Tuesday. Police reported Wednesday that 33 persons, includ- ing 20 policemen, were injured in the melee. The injured included Jerusa- lem Police Commander Daniel Bareli and his deputy, Shimon Markowitz. Seventeen demonstrators were arrested, one of them a young American Yeshiva student, Haim David Ruttenberg. The Red Magen David reported that many of the injured needed stitches to close head wounds inflicted by the flying rocks. During the five hours of the demonstration, police appeared at one stage to have lost control of the zealots, who sang prayers, danced, blew rams' horns or listened to talks by leading rabbis. They completely blocked central Jerusalem's streets. Vinally, 200 police were called in, many on horseback, to dis- perse the demonstration. Hamodia, the Agudat Israel newspaper, commented that the demonstration proved "the sensi- tivity of religious Jewry" on the issue of post-mortems. 44—Friday, March 17, 1967 Joint Distribution Committee Is Sending Passover Supplies to the Needy in Europe The supplies this year include NETT YORK—The Joint Distri- bution Committee has ordered over 441,500 pounds of matzo and 545,325 pounds of matzo and other matzo meal, 1,000 pounds of Passover supplies for shipment to matzo flour, 600 sets of matzo needy Jews in some 10 countries and 1,666 cases of Passover wine to Eastern Europe.
