School Damaged
as Explosion
Hits Empty Bus

TEL AVIV (JTA)—An ex-
plosive charge detonated in
the rear of an empty tourist
bus in Rishon LeZion last
week.
Splinters of glass and me-
tal landed in the yard of a
kindergarten near which the
bus was parked, but there
were no casualties. The bus
and parts of the school were
damaged.
Police investigating the ex-
plosion said the device was
attached to the exterior part
of the bus under the air con-
ditioning equipment.
Some 70 Arabs employed
in the vicinity were detained
for questioning.
The second letter bomb
sent to Israel from Milan
within two weeks was dis-
mantled by Israeli security
men Monday. The booby-
trapped letter was sent to a
Jerusalem address. There
were no injuries.

after being a specialist in
antitrust cases for seven
years with the Department
of Justice, rose from the
company's legal department
to senior vice president and
director. He is a member of
the executive policy-making
committee and chairman of
the public affairs committee.
Shapiro was born in Minne-
apolis, the son of Lithuanian
Jewish parents who fled
Russia in 1900. His father
opened up a dry cleaning
shop in which young Shapiro
worked. He didn't like work-
ing in his father's plant and
went to the University of
Minnesota at which he earn-
ed BS and bachelor of laws
degrees.
In his more than 20 years
with the company, Shapiro
said that being a Jew had
"never been a handicap."
He is active in Jewish affairs

Ponts have Jewish back-
gdouncl, too.
An item in Purely Com-
mentary, in The Jewish
News, June 22, 1956, referred
to it. The family began its
American experience with
the arrival in 1802 of Eleu-
there Irenee du Pont, an ex-
plosives manufacturer from
France, had a Jewish ances-
tor. Du Pont's bookkeeper,
August Belin, was Jewish,
and his granddaughter,
Mary, married Lammot du
Pont in 1865.
In 1918, Pierre S. du Pont
used his Jewish ancestry as
proof to be able to partici-
pate in the American Jewish
War Relief Committee's
drive. He said:
"I have a special reason
for being here. I have one-
eighth of Jewish blood in me
— my grandfather (sic) hav-
ing been a Jew — and I con-
sider it my special duty, not
merely my privilege, to join
in the raising of these funds."
He underwrote the Wilming-
ton quota of $75,000.
In a letter to the editor of
The Jewish News, dated
June 24, 1956, the writer said
that when the du Ponts were
approached on a fund-raising
venture in Miami, they gave
generously. One of them was
quoted as saying "Oh, we are
Jews, we just don't work at
it."
