D. C. Is the Next Step for Plans Sally A. Turner to Wed
of Federation-Built Apartment James Cohen in August

Formal application for a govern-i
ment loan to finance an apartment
residence planned by the Jewish
Welfare Federation will be made
in the near future, Joseph H.
Jackier, president of Federation
Apartments, Inc., a new federa-
tion agency, has announced
Permission to make the applica-
tion was recently given by the re-
gional headquarters of the Hous-
ing and Urban Development office
in Chicago.
Federation Apartments, recently
incorporated, is to construct a 150-
unit- residence designed to accom-
modate 200 elderly persons who
are economically independent but
of modest means. It is hoped that
completion will be achieved early
in 1970.
Levine Alpern and Associates,
an architectural firm, is prepar-
ing preliminary drawings for the
dwelling.
Borings taken of the building
site at Ten Mile near Greenfield
Rd., Oak Park, yielded satisfac-
tory reports as to the suitability of
the grounds for construction of a
high-rise structure.
On the Federation Apartments,
Inc. board of directors are William
Avrunin, Nelson Dembs, Edward
L. Fleishchman, Sol King, Sam-
uel Lihden, Hyman Safran, Gilbert
B. Silverman and Max Stollman.
Other officers of the agency are
president Joseph H. Jackier; vice
presidents Samuel Hecbtman and
Jack 0. Lefton; secretary Martin
E. Citrin, and treasurer Leslie

Rose.

Tackier indicated that a special
committee studied housing needs
and building facilities for the el-
derly is numerous cities.
Committee findings revealed that
most crucial housing needs exist
among single elderly persons
rather than couples. For this rea-
son, the Oak Park residence will
consist mainly of studio-efficiency
units with partitioned kitchen
areas that are separated from
sleeping and living quarters.
A number of one-bedroom units
will be available for couples. Each
apartment will have a private bath
as well as furnished kitchen appli-
ances. There will be a central din-
ing room where a daily kosher
meal will be available to residents.
For safety purposes, guard rails.
panic buttons in bathrooms, low
lightswitches, wide doorways and

low stair lifts and other protective
devices will be installed.
While no health services are
planned, it is expected that a
retired nurse will live in the
residence.
Committeemen reported that the
building will be self-supporting. A
definite rental rate has not been
determined.
Leisure time activities will be
available at the nearby Jewish
Center, and residents will be en-
couraged to develop their own
recreational program within the
building.
Numerous persons have tele-
phoned the Jewish Federation re-
questing living facilities upon com-
pletion of the residence. Names
and addresses of interested persons
have been placed on a list to re-
ceive application f or ms when
available.
Preliminary expenses of t be
agency are presently being cov-
ered by the United Jewish Chari-
ties, said Jackier.
A name for the residence has
not been selected and suggestions
from the community are welcome.

Area Residents Ask
LBJ to Explain Sale
of Arms to Jordan

A Jewish Telegraphic Agency
article that appeared last week in
the Jewish News is reproduced in
a petition to President Johnson
signed by local residents who want
an explanation of the administra-
tion's decision to ship new weapons
to Jordan.
Hiram A. Dorfman of Coolidge
Hwy., Oak Park, composed the
petition, noting that the "under-
signed . . . have heretofore voted
almost without interruption for
candidates of the Democratic
Party."
He asks the President: "Does
the stench of Robert Reams and
Breckenridge Long still permeate
the State Department of the U.S.
government?" and "What is your
answer to the questions and ob-
jections raised by N. V. Reps.
William Ryan and Seymour Hal-

Reps. Ryan and Halpern had
both attacked the administration
for its decision to send arms to

"In the New World" ("Ha'olam
Hehadash"), by Tina Levitan,
which relates, in story-fashion, the
role the Jew has played in Ameri-
can history from earliest times,
has been published by the New
York Jewish Education Commit-
tee Press.
The book describes the first
Jewish settlements on the Ameri-
can continent, with stories about
Columbus, Asser Levy and Peter
Stuyvesant, Rabbi Seixas the Pa-
triot, Haym Salomon, a Passover
in Savannah, and other historical
events.
Like the previous 52 books in
the Lador Junior Hebrew Library
Series, "In the New World" has
an easy-to-read typography, a vo-
calized text and light style, a glos-
sary of terms and vocabulary aids
and over 30 full - page illustra-
tions by Siegmund Forst.
This is the fourth book in the

In February 1868, some 160 persons
joined Sir John Lubbock and Sir
Henry Thompson at the Langham Hotel,
London, to dine on horseflesh. Their purpose
was promotion of the use of horseflesh as
food, as in France. (At Paris a Franco-Brit-
ish horse, mule and donkey banquet had been
staged to signal the opening of a market
to sell horseflesh to humans.)
The affair naturally set off a hubbub in
England, where there were more sentimental
feelings concerning horses than among
Frenchmen, who regarded even frogs and
snails as gourmet foods. But the horse-eaters'

banquet was made a passe subject quickly

by an unprecedented political development:
Benjamin Disraeli superseded the Earl of
Derby to become first British Prime Minister
of Jewish ancestry. (However, he had fol-

lowed his father in becoming a convert to
the Anglican Church and Conservative Par-

ty.)
"Dizzy" (as promptly dubbed) was forced
out of the Prime Ministership in a few
months by William E. Gladstone, Liberal.
But Disraeli was to regain the position for
six glorious years of British empire-building.
