AWARDS
Coming up for the Frank L.
Weil Awards next Sunday in
Manhattan’s Waldorf-Astoria
will be Dr. Jacob Marcus,
director of the American Jew-
ish Archives, Adolph S. Ochs,
Professor of Jewish History at
Hebrew Union Coll,bge-Jew-
ish Institute of Religion, Dr.
David DeSola Pool, Rabbi at
New York City’s Congrega-
tion Shearith Israel, and New-
ark’s community leader Mich-
ael A. Stavitsky. The JWB
awards are made in honor of
Frank Weil who was president
for a decade, from 1940-1950.
Speaking of Awards, we be-
lieve B’nai B ’rith’s ADL ought
to come up for some special
mention of hofior. We note
with deep pride that BB’s ADL
never fails to declare its po-
sition on the national and in-
ternational scene. Statement
from national ADL chairman
Henry Edward Schultz says:
'‘The dismissal,' of Edward
Corsi as special assistant to
Secretary Dulles on refugee
and immigration problems is
a victory for the anti-immi-
gration forces which the coun-
try can ill afford. If his ap-
pointment two months ago was
a hopeful sign that the will of
the Congress, expressed in the
Refugee Relief Act, would be
carried out, his dismissal
is a doleful sign of how
far the State Department has
strayed from the humanitarian
instincts and the national in-
terested that prompted Con-
gress to enact the law.
“Mr. Corsi has a long record
for humane, intelligent and
liberal administration of im-
migration and labor laws. He
is certainly one of the nation’s
outstanding Republican ex-
perts in the field. We feel hon-
ored having him as the author
of one of the League’s Free-
dom Pamphlets, ‘Paths to the
New World.’
“In our view, Mr. Corsi is an
ideal public servant whose long
record of loyal and patriotic
service is an eloquent rebuttal
to the unjustified smear at-
tack made by Congressman
Francis E. Walter of Pennsyl-
vania, and should have pre-
vented the State Department’s
apparent abject surrender to
this attack. Only our com-
munist enemy will profit from
Mr. Corsi’s dismissal.”
We were all schocked by the
death of Albert Einstein. Dr.
Einstein spoke little and com-
mented sparsely op issues.
Unique as he was when it came
to his Jewishness, he defined
himself unequivocally. He gave
the world new horizons to ex-
plore and warned them that
they could use the theories to
destroy themselves or build a
better world. Nobel prize win-
ner Einstein is dead. But men
like Jonas Salk, and others of
all faiths will follow and march
alongside of righteousness and
devote their energies to pro-
vide Man with a better life, a
better future.
For this we are thankful.

Joey Adams Will Spark
F. W. Federation Campaign
Joey Adams, noted enter-
tainer and radio and televis-
ion quizmaster, will appear on
behalf of Fort Worth Jewish
Federation on May 1 at the
Hilton Hotel’s Terrace Room.
The appearance will mark
the Federation’s Annual Fund
Raising Dinner.
Adams, who is known from
coast to coast as the head of
the television quiz sl^ow “Back
That Fact” has recently re-
turned from a visit to Israel
with his wife, singer Cindy
Heller. While in Israel, the
Adamses were received by
the Prime Minister and other
high ranking officials.
Not content with confining
his talents to the entertainment
JOEY ADAMS
field- Adams invaded the lit-
erary scene with an autobio-
graphy, “From Gags To
Riches.” The success of this
volume made the Damon Run-
yon Memorial Fund richer by
$165,000, the royalties which
Adams ordered turned over to
the cancer research organiza-
tion. He followed his initial
literary venture with a novel,
“The Curtain Never Falls.”
Adams has been an enter-
tainer since his boyhood in
Brooklyn, and made his way
up through the Borscht Circuit
to top night clubs and theatres
throughout the country. He ap-
peared at the Copacabana, the
Latin Quarter, the Beachcom-
ber in Miami, Slapsie Maxie’s
in Hollywood before the cul-
minating experience of seeing
his name in lights on Broad-
way at New York’s Capitol
Theatre.
Joey Adams recently opened
a notable success on the Philco
Television Playhouse where he
starred with Johnny Mercer.
Throughout his career, Ad-
ams has never forgotten the
single sentence of advice given
him by the late Fiorello H. La
Guardia, for whom he had
made many street corner
speeches. “Be yourself,” New
York’s “Little Flower” sug-
gested, “and do whatever com-
es to you naturally.” Adams
has never forgotten this simple

Fort Worth Country Club
Invites Community To Open House
Open house will be held this
weekend at the new Ft. Worth
Country Club which was or-
ganized by members of the
Fort Worth Jewish Commun-
ity on April 10 at Beth-
El Center.
Visiting Hours will be held
this Saturday frorq 2-5 p.m.;
and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to
12 noon and from 2-5 p.m.
After a resounding go ahead
signal given the committee,
headed by Irving Rosenthal,
the steering group girded it-
self into action and accom-
plished a herculean job.
They purchased the land,
comprising 50 rolling acres and
physical assets from D. C.
Hall, held various committee
meetings, selected an archi-
tect, and announced early this
morning, after a mid-night ses-
sion that construction would
be started immediately.
Remodeling will begin on
the beautiful ranch house,
which will serve as a club-
house. The remodeling is ex-
pected to include a main
swimming pool, locker room
and swimming area, Health
Club, kitchen and dining facil-
ities, cocktail lounge separate
and mixed card rooms, a lux-
urious main lounge and new-
ly designed entrance hall.
Partial completion of the
main ballrooom is expected,
too. All the aforementioned re-
modeling and building is set
for the target date of June 1,
less than six weeks hence.
Larry Gernsbacher was
chosen architect.
Meanwhile more than 181
members have joined the club
which is yet to be named.
A further suprize announ-
cement was made today. Jac-
ques Neili, world famous chef
has been engaged.
Memberships will remain
open until May 15 to allow
anyone who has not availed
themselves of the opportunity
of joining to do so at the pres-
ent rate of membership.
The club’s property, which
is located east of the North-
South Freeway can be reach-
ed by entering the freeway
at East Berry Street and fol-
lowing it to the new bridge
directly south of the Seminary
exit and just beyond Two
Bucks Trading Post. Turn
left to enter the bridge and
make an immediate right turn,
following the signs marked
“Viewpark.*’1 Follow Oak
Grove Road until D. C. Hall’s
mail box is reached. The
Ranch House is opposite this.
Members of the member-
ship committee are especially
inviting all those who would
like to join to the Open House.
The club membership is open
to all.
Says Israel’s Aim
Is Coexistence
JERUSALEM (WNS) If
Egypt would pacify her border
with Israel a basis for coexis-
tence of the two nations would
be found, a Foreign Ministry
spokesman declared this week
in an Arabic broadcast ap^
parently designed as a reply
to Premier Gamal Abdel Nas-
ser of Egypt who recently told
Cairo newsmen that there ap-
peared to be two schools of
thought in Israel, one advocat-
ing restraint and the other,
with Defense Minister David
Ben Gurion at its helm force.
Denying the evistence of
schools of thought, the Israeli
spokesman quoted Mr. Ben
Gurion as having told the
Knesset in 1952, on the oc-
casion of King Farouk’s ouster
that Israel welcomed a free
Egypt and that no reason ex-
isted for territorial, political or
economic conflicts between the
two countries since they were
seperated by a wide desert.
That, the broadcast said, “was
the Ben Gurion school of
thought” then “and it remains
today the school of) thought of
the Israeli Government.” If
Egypt would enforce peace a-
long the borders and control
the elements responsible for
murder, lawlessness and out-
rages directed against Israeli
settlements, it could provide
the basis for coexistence and
cooperation between the peo-
ples, the spokesman declared,
adding that if another school
of thought existed it was the
Egyptian school which, he said,
undermines Israel’s security
by armed aggression, boy-
cotts and blockades.
In the meantime it was re-
ported that U. N. Truce chief
General E.L.M. Burns is seek-
ing to bring Israeli and Egyp^
tion officers together to discuss
measures for quieting the
Gaza strip.

ALBERT EINSTEIN.
I
The world paid homage to
Albert Einstein, famed scien-
tist, who died April 18 after a
few days illness. Theoretical
physicist, he was ever willing
to lend his name and talents,
to help his co-religionists and
all of mankind.
