to me. But then that'd be
true of life in general."
Allen, best known today as
the voice of the weekly tele-
vision show, "This Week in
Baseball," was the play-by-
play radio announcer for the.
New York Yankees from
1948-64, when they won 14
pennants and nine World
Series. Allen broadcast 20
Series and 24 All-Star games.
He now broadcasts Yankee
games on cable TV. He says
he enjoys all his broadcasts,
but the Yankee dynasty
years were special "because
there were so many unusual
and record-breaking things
happening. Not only with the
Yankees, but other teams as
well."
Allen also broadcast college
football on TV for NBC in the
'50s and '60s. He announced
14 Rose Bowl games, four
Orange Bowls and three
Sugar Bowls, plus pro foot-
ball but had to give up the
s zt when the baseball and
`ootball schedules began over-
lapping.
Allen earned a law degree
at the University of
Alabama, but his work as
public address announcer at
Alabama football games led
to a radio job at CBS. "I
thought I'd like to live in
New Yoi-k, not more than six
months, just for the experi-
ence, then go back and start
on a job as a clerk in a law
office. But one thing led to
another and I never did go"
back to law.
Allen was a staff an-
nouncer at CBS, but soon
switched to sports. He has
since worked on non-sports
projects, such as commercials
and newsreels. He narrated
Movietone newsreels for 16
years.
Allen, who is an active
speaker these days, returns
to his roots Monday. He had
relatives in Detroit, and
spent some time here as a
youngster. He once got a job
selling pop at Tiger Stadium,
where he saw his first major
league baseball game. But he
was fired that first day for
watching the game and not
selling the pop. Little did
young Mel know that he
would later be paid, and hon-
ored, for watching those
games.

New York Murder
Touches Detroiters
People in the community
and faculty members were
hesitant to describe the mur-
der as an anti-Semitic act.
Both Lesin and Zelikovitz
said there had been no seri-
ous anti-Semitic activity in
the neighborhood, a New
York suburb heavily popu-
lated by religious Jews.
Lesin said there had been
some graffiti on another dor-
mitory some years ago, but
juvenile-type slogans. "We
don't have any problems with
our neighbors or any anti-
Semitism," Lesin said. He
said there had been no fights
within the dormitory.
Three Detroit-area youths,
Menachem Josephs,
Yehoshua Stein and Kalman
Sperka, attend the facility's
Beit Midrash, a post-high
school program. A fourth,
Ephraim Schwartz was in
Weiss' class and lived in
Weiss' dormitory.
Esther Schwartz, Ep-
hraim's mother, said the
stabbing made her "petrified"
for the safety of her son. She
told The Jewish News that
since the murder, the dormit-
ory in which it occurred was
closed down, armed guards
were hired to patrol the
grounds and a closed circuit
TV system was installed.
Local police have offered to
escort the students home
from class at night, Schwartz
went on to say.
The students are receiving
counseling in the wake of the
murder, she added. "They
have tremendous- faith ; these
boys. They are finding tre:
mendous comfort -in each
other:"
Staff report and JTA
The murder of a Long Is-
land yeshivah student has
caused a local Torah institute
to review its own security ar-
rangements.
Rabbi Michael Baum, di-
rector of Oak Park's Yeshiva
Gedola said that additional
measures were being taken to
protect its high school and
post-high school-age students
and that security was being
tightened at the institution's
dormitories. He declined to
elaborate.
Chaim Weiss, an 11th
grade student at Torah High
School in Long Beach, Long
Island, was brutally stabbed
to death sometime on the
morning of Nov. 1 while he
slept in his third floor dor-
mitory room.
He appeared to have been
killed "with a heavy type of
knife," according to police.
There was a deep gash in his
forehead, said . faculty
member Rabbi Chaim
Zelikovitz. None of the other
students heard any sounds,
they told police who ques-
tioned them. Nothing was
disturbed in Weiss's room,
according to police, school
administrator Rabbi Shlomo
Lesin, and Zelikovitz, and
there were no signs of forced
entry.
Weiss was last seen alive
at 1 a.m. Nov. 1 by a fellow
student with whom he had
been studying. The murdered
yeshiva student was found in
his bed at 7:30 a.m. by a
dormitory - supervisor who
went looking for him. when
he failed to show for -morning
