Kansas City Club Drops Bars Against Admission of Jewish Members
Pilgrims Serenade B-G
SDE BOKER (ZINS) — Handel's
oratorio, "Hallelujah," suddenly
filled the air around the David
Ben-Gurion home with its choral
music. When he opened the win-
dow, he was greeted by a hundred
pilgrims of both sexes with loud
applause. They had come from
Finland, and chose this unusual
means of expressing to Israel's
elder statesman their sympathy
over the loss of his wife.
In excellent Hebrew, the spokes-
man of the pilgrims, Prof. Sari
Mala, told Ben-Gurion of his coun-
try's profound admiration f o r
heroic Israel. With the chorused
outcry "Long live the people of
the Bible in the land of the
Bible!" the pilgrims left.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (JTA) —
Following a decision by the Kansas
City Club, the largest of the down-
town business clubs, to accept Jew-
ish members last fall, there are
now at least five Jewish members
in the club and "applications are
apparently being processed in a
routine manner," according to the
Community Relations Bureau of
the Jewish Federation and Council.
Disclosure that several of the
city's major business clubs barred
Jews was made by the National
Catholic Reporter. One response
was that of the Kansas City Club
to end its anti-Jewish policy. How-

it was also hoped "that more dem-

Bars Housing for Elderly
Sponsored by Federation
OAKLAND, Calif. (JTA) — The
Oakland Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion has started consideration of
a new approach in its plan to pro-
vide housing for senior citizens
following rejection by the Oakland
City Council of a site for such
housing.
The federation has been working
on housing for elderly persons with
limited incomes since 1961 when a
study showed a need for such hous-
ing. In 1966, a group of 150 elderly
pe-rsons petitioned the -federation
to sponsor such a project. The fol-
lowing year, the federation joined
the Satellite Homes Corporation,
which was formed by the Oakland
Council of Churches to provide
low-cost housing for the elderly.
Federal funds were scheduled
under the Housing and Urban De-
velopment Act which requires that
such housing be located near the
sponsoring organization. A site was
found near the Jewish community
center convenient to shopping and
transportation, which w a s ap-
proved unanimously by the Oak-
land Planning Commission.
Several residents in the area be-
gan appeals to bar the project, and
the City Council voted against the
housing. Three church groups have
won approval for similar projects,
despite neighborhood protests.

Development in Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Negotiations
for a $10,000,000 low-income hous-
ing project in Israel to be financed
by American interests were com-
pleted here by an American Jew-
ish philanthropist from Texas, Jim
Novy, who is a personal friend of
President Johnson.
Novy left Israel Monday but is
expected back in two weeks. It was
reported here that he may re-
ceive a low-interest loan from
Cooley counterpart funds for sur-
plus American foodstuffs, which
the United States holds here.
The project calls for 1,000 low
rental housing units to be built in
Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa. It
has been approved by the U.S. and
Israeli governments.

Romania. This includes 340,000
pounds of matzot, close to 58,000
pounds of matzot meal, 550
pounds of shmura matzot, and
20,000 bottles of Passover wine.
Passover supplies also will go to
Jewish communities in Belgium,
France, Greece, Italy, Portugal,
Spain, Yugoslavia and Melilla in
Spanish Morocco.
This year, for the first time,
JDC is shipping matzot into
Tunisia. In the past the Tunisian
Jewish community has baked its
own matzot. However, the bakery
was destroyed by rioters after the
outbreak of the Arab-Israel war,
and JDC has sent 83,500 pounds
of matzot into the country to
meet this year's needs.
Special grants will be issued to
needy Jews in Algiera, Morocco
and Iran to enable them to pur-
chase Passover supplies producer'
locally.
