URGES PAYMENT OF HERITAGE HOUSE BUILDING PLEDGES
Aaron Zacks, president of Heri¬ tage House, Issued a plea this week for all persons who made pledges for the construc^on ot Heritage House, to complete their payments on the pledges.
It was one year, on Nov. IB, since the home opened for the Jewish Senior Citizens of Colum¬ bus. During this period, the home has rendered a valuable service and has proven Itself to be an institution of which the Jew¬ ish Community can be proud. Aa stated previously, this is a monu¬ ment to the generosity of the Jewish Community.
However, Heritage House is facing serious financial prob¬ lems. There are over $232,000 in unpaid pledges. Heritage House has a mortgage loan from the bank of $235,000. Approximately $1,000 interest is paid each month until the loan is repaid. If the home is unable to pay off the mortgage In the near future, then the Interest will cause a serious deficit In   the   home's   financing.
Zacks    therefore    urges    that
everyone   who    haa    an   unpaid
pledge make an effort to pay it

The World's Week
Cotnplltd from JTA  Roportj
In New York, Jews throughout the world deeply mourn¬ ed the passing of IVIrs. Franklin. Delano Roosevelt, widow of the late wartime President of the United States. She died here this week at the age of 78. Jews cited, among her other achievements, her leadrship in the United Nations, where, as a U. S. delegate and chaii-man of the Human Rights Com¬ mission, she was the principal proponent of the Univei'sal Declaration of Human Rights; her advocacy of Israel's cause since prior to Israel's admission to UN membership; and her sponsorship of a wide variety-of Jewish and non-Jewish organizations in the human rights and anti-discrimination fields.
In 'Washington, the American electorate siStfU three Jews to the United States Senate and re-named ninf^ther Jews to the House of Representatives in the mid-termVlections, after political campaigns largely free of attempt.s to use appeals on racial or religious lines.
In Paris, the annual rise of joblessness in France in the winter, and the Algerian decree nationalizing property there abandoned by fleeing Europeans, Jias considerably worsened the already difficult situation for the estimated 100,000 Algerian Jewish refugees in France, it was leported here by the Fonds Social Juif Unifie, the major French Jewish welfare agency.
In United Nations, N. Y., Israel was clearly on record here as opposing some of the harsher terms in a General Assembly resolution calling upon the Security Council to consider possible expulsion of South Africa if it did not alter its racist policies of apartheid. Israel is also opposed to another clause in that resolution calling for a break ot diplomatic relations with South Africa and for the interrup¬ tion of trade with that country. The vote was 66 for, IG against, 23 abstentions.
In Johannesbwg, Die Transvaaler, leading pro-Govern¬ ment daily newspaper, sharply criticized Israel for its vole in the United Nations General Assembly, supporting sanc¬ tions against South Africa for pui-sulng its apartheid policy of racial segregation. A political column in the daily em¬ phasized the benefits Israel had received from South Africa, including facilitation of heavy financial support from Soutji African Jevn-y and permission to South African Jews to serve In Israel's defense forces. "For this, South Africa now has received obloquy Instead of gratitude," the article adtied-

"The standing conference pro¬ ject is literally unique in the European Jewish community ex¬ perience," Kane said, "and the benefits ot its long-range objec¬ tives, not only to European but lo world Jewry, are incalculable. The very process of organization of such a group ¦— the intense cooperation and partnership In¬ volved between American philan¬ thropy and European Jewish leadership — might be considered to rank almost equally in import¬ ance with its achievements to date."
"THE MEASURE OF what has been   accompilshed,"    he    added.

"oan be understood only when one remembers that at war's end the Jews were faced not only with the rubble of their former communities but with the Joss f a complete generation of leaders, teachers, scholars, scientists and other professionals. The develop¬ ment of the Standing Conference indicated to what extent this lost generation has been reflplaced and Jewish life reconstructed."
"Although not Identical," Kane continued, "the standing confer¬ ence may he viewed as compara¬ ble In present European temas to the Council of Jewlah Federa¬ tions and Welfare Funds."
The standing conference rep¬ resents the culmination of the postwar work with United Jew¬ ish Appeal funds of the JDC whose services had moved, step Ijy step, from comparatively sim¬ ple rescue and relief, to recon¬ struction of Individual Jewish communities to, ultimately, the re-establlshment of community organizations. The Conference was initiated two years ago so that the continuing growth of (contInu«d on  pa4«  4)
