Abba Eban's Mother, 84

LONDON (JTA) — Alida
Sacks Solomon Eban, mother
of Israeli Foreign Minister
Abba Eban, died here March
21. She was 84. Eban was
with her and attended the
private service on March 22.
He flew to London from
Washington when Mrs.
Eban's condition turned criti-
cal.
Eban's close relationship
with his mother was well
yn. He always tried to
age his diplomatic sched-
ule so as to visit her as often
as possible in London.
Mrs. Eban was described
by those who knew her as a
woman of great cha'nn and
knowledge, and in her young-
er days, an active Zionist
and social worker.
She is survived by her
husband, Dr. Isaac Eban, an
eminent radiologist, now re-
tired, Foreign Minister Eban
and another son and daugh-
ter.
Born in South Africa as
Alida Sacks, she was widow-
ed when Aubrey—later Abba
— was a mere child. He
adopted the name of his
mother's second husband,
Eban.
As a young widow, Eban's
mother became active in the
work of the World Zionist
Organization and was the
archivist of the Zionist office
at 175 Piccadily, London.
That's when she began a
close friendship with Dr.
Chaim Weizmann, and that
comradeship continued with
her son Aubrey in later
years.
The late Mrs. Eban was
educated at Oxford, and she
mastered several languages.
A deep interest in the work
of the Magen David Adom,
the Israel equivalent of the
Red Cross, was among Mrs.
Eban's most recent interests,
and the Magen David Adorn
office in New York issued a
statement of high commen-

.

dation for her support on
Friday.
The story of her life is re-
lated at great length by
Robert St. John in his bi-
ography of Abba Eban (a
best-s e 11 e r published by
Doubleday and just issued as
a paperback by Dell Pub-
lishing Co.)
St. John described the
close relationship between
mother and son, his frequent
calls to her, the exchange of
visits between them.
Eban was to have ad-
dressed a meeting of the De-
troit Israel Bond Committee
on March 19. He canceled
that appearance at the Stan-
dard Club immediately after
his conference with Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger
so he could fly to London
and be at his mother's bed-
side. She died two days later.

'Mr. Coney Island'
Nathan Handwerker

MIAMI — Nathan Hand-
werker, once-penniless Polish
immigrant who turned a
Coney Island hot dog stand
into an 18-restaurant chain
that brought him fame and
millions, died March 24 at
age 83.
Known as "Mr. Coney Is-
1 a n d," Mr. Handwerker
worked at a New York eat-
ery and a Coney Island
counter store as a youth.
Eddie Cantor and Jimmy
Durante who were working
in Coney Island at the time
complained that 10 cents was
too much for a hot dog, and
that Handwerker should open
his own place and sell them
for a nickel.
He opened a stand with his
$300 in life savings and used
a secret recipe in his hot
dogs created by his wife.
When he cut the price to a
nickel, and the spicy hot
dogs won favor, he soon saw
thousands flock to his stand.
When New York extended
the subway to Coney Island
in 1923 customers flocked to
Nathan's. In 1921, when the
late Sophie Tucker, singing
at Walsh's Cafe in Coney is-
land, made a hit with the
song "Nathan, Nathan, Why
You Waitin'?" Nathan named
his hitherto nameless stand,
"Nathan's Hot Dogs."
