Resler To Receive Honor At Luncheon
"A Man Who Walks . . . Tall" will be honored at the Youth Fellow¬ ship Luncheon on Sunday. July 11. at the Sheraton-Columbus. This event held in conjunction with the 113th Annual Convention of District Grand Lodge #2. B'nai B'rith will honor Columbus' own Jacl^ S. Resler.
Dr. William A. Wexler of Savannah. Georgia, ncwly-electcd Inter¬ national President of B'nai B'rith. wUl be guest speaker at the luncheon.
DR.  WEXLER  will  make  the  presentation  of  the  Jack  S.   Resler Youth   Fellowship   established   by B'nai B'rith to honor the "man who walks .  .  . tall."
Mr. Resler is a long-time mem¬ ber of Zion Lodge and is proud of the fact that his father,, Morris Rosier, of beloved memory, was President of B'nai B'rith in Zanes¬ ville, Ohio; he was also a friend of Alfred M. Cohen, a past president of B'nai B'rith.
HIS UNCLE, Herman Rosier, was very actively connected with the National Jewish Hospital, started by B'nai B'rith.
Jack, as he is affectionately known, established the Rabbi Harry Kaplan .Scholarship fund at Ohio State, his alma mater. This Scholar- Ship is awarded to the student who has contributed significandy to interfaith and inter-cultural activity. To enlarge the Hillel facihties in tlie Ohio State campus, he donated land adjacent to its building.
AN ANECDOTE that Jack fre¬ quently laughs about is Uiat he went to a meeting of B'nai B'rith at the Hillel House and was unable to find a parking place in tlie lot which he had given them. For his generous supprrt of the Hiilcl program, he was awarded the Hillel Key in 1964.
MR. RESLER is a vice president of the B'nai B'rith Leo N. Levi Hospital in Hot Springs, a fellow of Brandeis Univcrsiy since 1953, an energetic worker on behalf of Israel Bonds, and a supporter of all Jewish philanthropies in our city.
He has lioId positions of naUonal and local leadership with tlie United Jewish   Fund.
HE IS a past president of Temple Israel   and   is   now   an   honorary
Jack S.  Resler
president for life.
Mr. Resler's philosophy, "The apple does not fall far from the tree" Is the heiglit of his interest in and dedication to the youth ser¬ vices of B'nai B'rith tiecause in his considered opinion, our youth ser¬ vices are responsible for the adult leadership in the years that follow.
MRS. BEN KAHN and Edward Schlezinger are serving as local chairmen for the luncheon honoring Mr. Reslcr. Members of the com¬ munity are invited tp attend the hmcheon to be held at the Sheraton- Columbus on Sunday, July 11, at 12:30   p.m.

Kennedy Worried By Israeli Arms Power
WASHINGTON (JTA) - Israel and India were cited by both Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and a key Administration disarmament figure as the two nations of greatest immediate concern to United States officials concerned  about  proliferation  of  nuclear  weapons.
Sen. Kennedy charged in ;i Senate speech that the two countries al¬ ready possessed  "weapons grade fissionable  material  and  could  fabri¬ cate an atomic device within a few months." He-added that there could be no
.'-.tability anywhere when nuclear weapons might be used "between Arabs and Israelis over the Gaza Strip."
WILLIAM FOSTER, director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, similarly pinpointed Israel and India, in an article in tlie new issue of "Foreign Affairs." which was cleared by the Administration before publication.
.Sen. Kennedy declared that Israel and Egypt each had been suspicious of the other "and further Israeli lirogress would certainly impel the Kgyptians to Intensify their present efforts."
HE ADDED that Israel "can make nuclear devices wihin a couple of months and weapons shortly thereafter. That is the kind of dan¬ ger that confronts us."
He urged Immediate initiation of
United States - Soviet talks, to include other nations with nuclear capability of potential, to formulate a non-proliferation pact requiring f]ledges from nations like Israel not to acquire or develop such weapons in return for a guarantee against nuclear aggression or blackmaiL
HE URGED creation of nuclear- free zones and said that if these succeeded, Israel and neighboring states, which might not be covered, should be asked to make the same commitment.
Foster wrote that one side in dispute like the Arab-Israel conflict could not be expected to forego acquisition of nuclear weapons if the other side obtained such arms.
THE WHITE HOUSE press office said it was pleased that Sen. Kennedy shared President John¬ son's concern on the issue and that the President himself would speak on the matter soon.

All Americans Love A Record
All America loves a record. There are, however, some records not worth holding—one being the holi¬ day death record. We seem to.set a new one every year.
Experts are able to predict with uncanny accuracy the number of people who will lose their lives dur¬ ing a holiday period.
IT IS IRONIC that the automo¬ bile, perhaps the twentieth cen¬ tury's best addition to man's con¬ venience, is also his worst enemy, taking more lives each year than the  worst  of  diseases.
We at the Chronicle urge you to drive with extra care and caution during this long 4th of July week¬ end. Watch out not only for your¬ self, but also for the other driver.
WE HOPE that your holiday will be a relaxing and happy one, but more Important, a safe one. After all,   we  enjoy  serving you.
