reers An urgent appeal emphasizing the need for manpower in the current Philanthropies Campaign was issued this week by the leadership of the Initial Gifts Division to the members of the Omaha Jewish Community. A postcard reply card was included with the following letter mailed to men of the community this week. DEAR FRIEND: Our community has always prided itself on the quality of its citizenry. A special mark of our distinction is the active service of our men in civic, community, and charitable activities. In our Jewish community, the annual Philanthropies Campaign ranks as the most important fund-raising effort of the year. Upon its outcome depend a massive number of Jewish activities auS institutions in Omaha, and in the United States; and the vast program of saving, settling, and rehabilitating Jewish refugees wandering upon the face of the earth in search of a home and security. We have been asked to head up the Initial Gifts Division of the 1966 Campaign. We have accepted the assignment because we believe in this cause; also, because we hope that you, and others like you, will pitch in with us iri this essential, all-satisfying effort. We therefore invite your assistance, and ask you to become a volunteer worker in this campaign. This truly is a job for everyone. We ask you to join us in this campaign, because we know that you understand the responsibility which you individually, tmd all of us as a community, have toward our people in Omaha, the United States, the world over and in Israel. For this is the only campaign which encompasses more than 100 appeals into one! Sincerely yours, Maurice Gilmore, Chairman Micky Krupinsky, Assoc. Chairman Stanley Perimeter, Assoc.

LEE C. WHITE, former special counsel to the President, was sworn in as Chairman of the Federal Power Commission at a ceremony i.ltended by President Lyndon Johnson. During the ceremony, held in the East Room of the White House, President Johnson paid flowing tribute to Mr. White. He said that one of the key jobs in the Government—the management of the F.P.C,—w;is in "sure and skillful ;md above all fair and just hands." 'The Itlght Man' The President also said that Mr. White possessed all the necessary qualities of mind and heart. He lias enough "steel in his spine so that the noisy dissent of the crowd doesn't sway him from what he truly believes to be the correct course to follow." "We have come to this historic White House room," the President continued, "to swear in a man whose acceptance nf duty, whose courage,* and appreciation of the rule of right behavior r e s i d e comfortably within his daily life." 'Sound Judgment' "Lee White leaves the White House after five years of service," Mr. Johnson went on. "Whenever there was a knotty problem here to be examined nnd to be solved, Lee, with a quiet and luminous skill, set about to do just what needed to be done. I have always found him a man of good spirit with a tolerance for the nagging details of every problem, as well as very sound judgment about where the facts could be found and where the solution would take us." President Jolmson expressed "mixed emotions" nt Mr. White's departure from the Executive Mansion. "The White House will be losing an able and devoted special counsel" he said, "but the country will gain a judicious <: a p a b 1 e chairman" for the FP.C." Sense of Humor The president told the special guests at the ceremony that "Mr. White <;"os !o the F.P.C. with his sense of humor undiminished. Any man who can survive five years in the White House, never stumble over an assigned task, and leave with his ability to'laugh vnimpaired, is a man that I would warn all of you is to be reckoned with" he said. President Johnson went on to say that he will surely miss Lee White in the White

House. ''He is an exceptional and a brilliant fellow; an indispensable man-quite unusual." While family Mr. White's family — wife Dorothy; sons Bruce, 17; Murray, 12, Sheldon. 10; daughters Ttosalyn, M and Laura, 2 were proud onlookers at the event Many close relatives, friends and associates also attended Myer Feldman, who also had been counsel to the President; and Sheldon C o h e n , Internal Revenue Commissioner, were also on hand. Islervieiv Mr. White granted this columnist a final interview as he was preparing to leave his White House office. • Mr. White described his five years at the While House as "fascinating and exhilarating" and said that he looks forward to his new assignment" with a great deal of enthusiasm and interest." Mr. White told me that in working with President Johnson he had worked with the "top of the deck. The President has achieved a great deal and it was a most rewarding experience to work for a man who is so obviously the m a s t e r of his job." "He's a tough and demanding taskmaster, who wants things done nnd done quickly and correctly," Mr. White added." "He assumes (hat those who work for him will perform." Mr. White said that the President had treated him superbly . . . "and with complete fairness. We had a fine, personal relationship."

\i ened. A barrage of strikes which paralyzed various segments of the national economy finished the job, and a wave of wage boosts engulfed the economy, most of them retroactive six months or a year or more. Prices The s p i r a l quickened with dizzying pace. Prices had to go up. Faced with increased costs, the Government too had to raise taxes. The cost of living soared, and since all salaries and wanes in Israel are linked to the Cost of Living index, this meant still another round of automatic increase in wages. The chain reaction continued. In December and January Israel seemed to be headed for economic catastrophe.

By Carol Simons and Randi Turkel Periodically, the various Jewish youth groups, both BBYO and synagogue youth groups, hold mass attendances. The purpose is to encourage teenage attendance at religious services. Often, this is the only time when some of the members do go to services. Do they go merely for the social aspects or for religious reasons? "Do you think that the mass attendances sponsored by the . various youth groups arc meaningful?" •

Judy Siref, Junior "The kids that plan it usually get a lot more from it than the others, because most kids come only because attendance is required or for the social aspects." Charlie Ickowlcz, Junior "They can be meaningful if conducted correctly, but many times teenagers will go only if they know their friends are attending." , . •

table incident, I believe I choose llic proper media. I trust that the community will recognize that it is mandatory to answer any fal.se accusation. The Adler Bakery has served our community for fifty years. Originally established by Morris Adler, the bakery, through the years, and to the present moment, has continued its opersition by a member of the Adfer family. It has operated in the tradition of Morris Adler and has always used a vegetable shortening in the preparation of all bakery products. Recently, RabbL tion the following letter:
mailed to his con£rega-
"Dear Congregant: "It is my duty to inform you that Adler's Bakery does not now meet the necessary religious standards am! is no longer under my Rabbinic supervision. Any previous endorsement given by me is ,-.••-hereby .withdrawn. . "Sincerely yours." It is true that we bake on Shabbos, The dilemma is that this small diminishing Jewish community is not adequate to sustain a bakery for sale to Jews only. We, therefore, serve the Jew and the non-Jew as well. We cannot maintain the business of the non-Jew by not serving him one day a week. We, therefore, must bake every day of the week. By being; beseiged and accused in this manner, we find it iiecx's.sarj^ to "cry in the wilderness." Our-dismay is-that although following the dietary laws and operating a federally inspected plant, with the rigid inspection of the Pure Food and Drug Act, where arc we amiss? If we were silent and made no reply to a Rabbinical assertion labelling us as "non-Kosher," the community could very well adopt an unjust and unwarranted conclusion. Be asurecVthat we deeply regret the necessity of making this statement.
