TOMORROW IS CHARITY NEWSIES "RED HEART" NEWSPAPER DAY; 100% CHARITY
Early Saturday morning the Charity Newsies will Isegin their all-day newspaper sale on street corners and at shopping centers throughout  Columbus and Franklin  County.
Drive chairman, "Mickey" McFadden gave the Newsies final instruction at the pep dinner December 2 in the Southern Hotel ballroom.
"Drive a little harder," McFadden urged the 155 men who compose the front-line of the News¬
ies,  "because we will  need more money this coming year."
Mil ton Can iff, creator of Steve Canyon, was the principal pep din¬ ner speaker, giving amusing insight into the life of a comic-strip artist.
The first red-heart newspapers off the press were auctioned; spirit¬ ed bidders also took autographed sports equipment that wil! grace recreation rooms.
Other activities of the Newsies phor to the sale included attend¬ ing Bexley Methodist Church last Sunday with President Robert Y. Dienst. Many Newsies were accom¬ panied by their wives and cWldren.
The prime purpose of Newsies, founded in 1907, is to keep all boys and girls attending school. The Newsies feel responsible for chil¬ dren of needy parents, and provide clothing when needed. Last winter 7435 tx>ys and girls of school age were outfitted at Newsies head¬ quarters, 716 S. High St.
Among the Newsies are Abe Wol¬ man, Al Solove, Leo Yassenoff, Mil¬ ton Yassenoff, Marvin Glassman, Herbert L. Fenburr, Herman Sei- gel, Meyer Hoffman and Charles B. Margulis.
Those nine and their fellow News¬ ies will sell a special edition of the Citizen-Journal carrying the themes "Open Your Heart!" and "100 Per Cent for Charity!"
You need not wait until Satur¬ day to contribute. Write a check and mall it to your favorite Newsie. Better yet, phone him. Each year the Newsies need more money to keep their work going. An increas¬ ing population means more needy families.
President Dienst explained the "100 per cent" policy: "We use every dollar to buy children's clothing. The administrative costs are met by the annual dues we pay, and by the proceeds of the stag outing we hold every August."
Newsies visit needy families that ask for help, to check conditions and learn whether the families are actually in need. These visits are called investigations.
The Newsies also maintain a year-around emergency service. Families struck by calamity such as fire in their homes are provided clothing, .blankets, fuel, food and medicine if needed.

District Chairman Of Bible Contest Is Announced
Announcement is being made that Daniel Harri.son, principal of the Columbus Hebrew School, has been do.s-ignated as the district chairman of the sixth annual National Bible Contest.

president.
Federenko charged that Israel un¬ dertook "provocative actions" lead¬ ing to the chain of events placing the issue tjefore the Security Coun¬ cil.
He asserted that Israel commit¬ ted a "massive violation of Syrian airspace" when it sent jets in to attack Syrian gun and tank po¬ sitions which were shelling Israeli villages in the border area. He ac¬ cused Israel of "deliberately plan¬ ning and implementing aggression on a large scale against Syria."
Mr. Comay said "It is dis¬ couraging, when a small nation ap¬ peals to the Security Council, to find a representative of a great power, a permanent member of this Council, acting more as coun¬ sel for one party rather than as judge. We repudiate absolutely the Soviet Union's contention that we were responsible for the incident on November 13 or that we are re¬ sponsible for the general situation in the area."
Referring to the fact that Mr. Federenko had charged Israel with following a "strategic doctrine" of conflict, Mr. Comay said: "What happened was not a result of any mj^hical strategic doctrine on our part. We want peace and until peace is achieved, we want the right to live."
Amh>assador  Stevenson   told  the
Council that it must concentrate now upon pacification rather than blame. "We in the Council," said Mr. Stevenson, "cannot dictate peace. We can only recommend, urge, plead. We urge both sides hereafter to submit complaints to the UNTSO rather than bo start shooting."
The Council, he said, should en¬ dorse Gen. Bull's proposals for an independent resurvey of portions of the disputed Israel-Syrian border "because upon the success of lim¬ ited surveys depends more general tranquility."
'Mr. Comany pointed out that in the report to the Security Council dealing with the latest clash, Lt. Odd Bull, chief of the United Na- tions Truce Supervision Organiza¬ tion had mentioned specifically "Syria's refusal to resolve its con¬ flict with Israel."
The chief Israeli delegate recalled that in the Security Council in August 1963. it was only the Soviet exercise of its veto that prevented the Security Council from adopting a resolution condemning Syria for the murder of two Israeli fanners at Almagor.
"I ask the Soviet Union," said Mr. Comay: "was that also an¬ other example of Israeli aggres¬ sion? Only the Soviet veto on that occasion was the roadblock to a vote of censure against Syria. We deplore  the fact."

prosecution as a result of the West German Government's decision to , adhere to the statute of limitations for prosecution of such crimes but a Hamburg Senator disputed that contention.
Edwin Schuele, director of the West German Center for the In¬ vestigation of Nazi Crimes at Lud- wigsburg, emphasized, in a state¬ ment at Stuttgart, that the mass of Nazi war crimes indictments which legal authorities have been working on are still to come before West German courts.
He added that by March, the Center hoped to have transmitted to public prosecutors about 100 ad¬ ditional cases so that prosecution could begin before the coming into effect of the statute of limitations next May.
Sen. A. Kramer asserted in Ham¬ burg, however, that federal of¬ ficials were obviously expecting "a large and unknown figure of undiscovered Nazi criminals." He said this was evident from the fed¬ eral government's appeal to gov¬ ernments and organizations in other counli-ies for documentary evidence so that prosecutions could be started in West Gei-many before the deadline.

London (JTA) —¦ West Germany's decision to adhere to the statute of limitations on prosecuting Nazi war criminals "has shocked world opinion," Maurice Edelman, presi¬ dent of the Anglo-Jewish Associa¬ tion, and a Labor member of Par¬ liament, declared here this week.
At the same time Lord Bertrand Russell, the British philosopher, warned that the likely return to political life of many Nazi war criminals for lack of prosecution in West Germany would be "in viola¬ tion  of  the  London  agreement  of
