Yassky Memorial at Ashdod

Cancer Discovery
at Denver Center
Seen as Far-Reaching

DENVER — Dr. Barbara
Jacobs, head of the immu-
nology department of th
American Medical Center at
Denver, a national hospital
for cancer research and can-
cer treatment, has produced
conclusive results showing
that the culturing of tumors
by the organ culture method
prior to transplantation often
avoids an effective rejection
reaction by the host.
The first account of Dr.
Jacobs' discovery was pub-
lished in 19e7. Recently, Dr.
William T. Summerlin, now
at the University of Minne-
sota and soon to be associat-
ed with the Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York,

may also prove successful in
reducing the rejection of

THE "GOLDEN" GOLDA: Golden days are now being
planned in this country for Golda Meir, Israel's premier,
during her forthcoming visit to meet with President Nixon,
March 1. She will be honored as never before by Pres-
ident Nixon and by the American Jewish community.
Nixon is interested to show his friendship to Israel in
- a demonstrative manner. He has shown it during his first
term as U.S. President by supplying Israel for the past
four years with $1,200,000,000 in arms, mostly on a credit
basis to help Israel shoulder the burden of defense. He is
also interested in showing his affection for Golda, who made
an indelible impression on him in her memorable visit to

Washington 13 months ago.

Contrary to France, where Golda was harassed by the
French government to a point where a hotel in Paris refused.
to accept room reservations for her during her visit there
last month, Nixon is anxious to show that in the U.S. Golds
is most welcome. He will emphasize this by a state dinner.

Active leaders in Jewish Federations the country over
and local chairmen of the United Jewish Appeal in every
community, will come to New York to represent their com-
munities at the impressive gala dinner which the United
Jewish Appeal is arranging in her honor March 5. The
dinner will be a holiday affair celebrating not only the 25th
anniversary of the state of Israel but also the 75th birthday
of the greatest woman in Israel, who is today considered
the greatest woman in world Jewry. Golda's birthday falls

on May 3.

United Jewish Appeal leaders are certain that Golda's
visit will stimulate grraier giving for Israel among all ele-
ments of American r•wry. They know that the l'JA will
raise more money in 1973 than in any previous year In its
history. But how much more—this will be known by the time
Golda leaves the United Slates to return to Israel.

Jewish ID Seen as Dependent on Parents' Roles

WASHINGTON — Parents,
much more than rabbis or re-
ligious school teachers, have
the determining influence on
their children's Jewish iden-
tification. This is the conclu-
sion of the first phase of a
nationwide study of 207 Jew-
ish boys and girls who have
held leadership positions in
the Bnai Brith Youth Organi-
zation.
The results of the study—
a collective effort of BBYO
national director Dr. Max F.
Baer and Dr. Fred Massarik,
scientific director of the Na-
tional Jewish Population
Study—were disclosed at the
annual meeting of the Bnai
Brith Youth Commission here
recently.
About 63 per cent of the
youngsters surveyed credited
their mothers with a major
positive influence while 60
per cent named their fathers.
Less than 8 per cent said
their mothers exerted no in-
fluence and 9.5 per cent their
fathers.
The influence of grandpar-
ents was also shown to be
significant, with about two-
thirds of the youth leaders
giving them credit for at
least some influence.
In contrast, only 16 per
cent said their rabbis strong-
ly influenced them, and 38
per cent reported only minor
influence. More than 29 per
cent reported no influence
whatsoever, while 15 per cent
reported ir negative labs.
ence.
Even less important, the
study showed, was the role
of teachers. Only 10 per cent
said it was major, while 43
per cent gave them only mi-

nor credit. About 34 per cent
reported no influence and 10

per cent negative influence.

was the principal factor in
the youngsters' Jewishness.
Most rejected "ghettoizing"
as unnecessary to the pres-
ervation of their Jewish iden-
tity.
Ethical concepts of Juda-
ism were viewed as more im-
portant than religious ob-
servance, and among reli-
gious observances, most re-
garded only Yom Kippur and
Rosh Ilashana as essential to
"being Jewish." Refraining
from work on the Sabbath
and keeping a strictly kosher
home were seen as having
the least relevance to their
Judaism.
It was announced at the
annual meeting that Mr. and
Mrs. Louis Perlman, Chicago
Jewish communal leaders ,

ganization.

New dimensions have been introduced this year by the
UJA in its 1973 drive, and they are already showing im-

yielding the largest results ever obtained by UJA.

At a gathering of about 50 couples on a yacht in Palm
Beach, Florida, more than $11,000,000 was raised for UJA
compared with $8,000,000 last year from the same people.
The donors were the guests of William Levitt, owner of the
yacht who is a well known figure in the building industry
and himself a generous giver. At the some time, 81,000,000
was raised at a women's gathering in Florida. Only 40
women were expected to attend this affair for UJA, but

when it became known that the speaker at the gathering
would be Mrs. Henry Ford, the number swelled. There was

also a very productive cocktail party given in Miami by
William Rosenwald, who is one of the top UJA leaders.

The Nixon-Meir talks in Washington are expected to
reinforce the existing firm relationship between the United
States and Israel. At these talks steps will also, no doubt,
be considered to reduce Arab-Israel tensions and prevent
new hostilities.
