Bessman Heads Win.
Utilities Commission
MILWAUKEE, (JTA) — Gov.
Nelson has named Leon-
ar d C. Bessman, prominent law
yer and Jewish communal fig
ure, as chairman of the Wiscon
sin Public Service Commission.
Bis appointment, subject to con
firmation by the State Senate,
is for a six-year term.

in this war.”

man served in the anti-trust di
vision of the ' Department of
Justice and returned to Wiscon
sin to set up and head an anti
trust department in the Attor
ney General’s office.
The appointment was an

Bessman, now a lieutenant col
onel in the Reserves, was at
Camp McCoy for training.
California U. Gives
Fraternities Notice
To End Bias
SAN FRANCISCO, (JTA)Fra
ternities, sororities and other
student groups on all University
of California campuses were
under orders this week from
the Board of Regents to abandon
any discriminatory policies
based on religion or race. The
order was aimed at seven secret
societies with a total member
ship of about 3,000 on all UC
campuses. It gave them five
years in which to comply or
lose official university recogni
tion without which they can
not function.
President Clark Kerr, in an
nouncing the order, said most
student groups had already
dropped discriminatory policies
as a basis of admission. He said
the university has always fol
lowed a policy of non-discrim-
lnation on race or religion and
had observed it closely in ad
mission of students. The univer
sity has not given recognition
to discriminating student groups
since 1946, he said.
Israel Eliminated
From Leader Posts
In IJ.N. Commissions
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA)—Israel, which has held
membership on the executive
board of the United Nations
Childrens Fund since 1951, and
which was in line for the chair
manship of the UNICEF execu
tive board, has been eliminated
from UNICEF leadership for the
first time in eight years.
This fact became known here
from the minutes of the last
meeting of the United Nations
Economic and Social Council,
made public in connection with
ECOSOC’s next meeting, in Gen
eva next week. ECOSOC is sub
sidiary UN bodies, including
UNICEF.
ECOSOC’s last session was held
in April, in Mexico City. At that
time, Israel again was a candi
date for the UNICEF executive
board. The minutes show that
Israel was not elected. Israel
first became a member of the
UNICEF executive board in 1951,
held the chairmanship of the
UNICEF Program Committee in
1955 and 1956, and held the vice-
chairmanship of the executive
board for 1957 and 1958. The
new board, without Israel will
take office January 1, 1960.
In addition to voting against
Israel for the UNICEF post,
ECOSOC also elminated Israel’s
candidacies for the Social Com
mission, the Commission On Hu
man Rights, and the Population
Commission. The high posts of
the UNICEF executive board
and on the Program Comfhittee
—the latter being the group that
formulates the programs of UNI
CEF activities throughout the
world—have been filled on Is
rael’s behalf, for the last few
years, by Mrs. Zena Harman, the
wife of Israel’s new Ambassa
dor Designate to Washington.
A spokesman for the Israel
delegation here commented on
the United Nations report. He
emphasized that Israel had
chosen this time not to run for
any leading position in UNICEF.

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Jewish
physicians in Nazi ghettoes and
concentration camps during
World War II heroically ana
secretly carried on scientific re
searches concerning the effects
of hunger, typhoid, bone mal
formations and diseases of the
skin suffered by the Jewish vic
tims, according to a report made
here by Dr. Mark Dworeczki,
head of the Tel Aviv Association
of Physicians.
In many instances, the results
of the research which Dr. Dwor
eczki called a significant contri
bution to the medical and gene
tic aspects resulting from the
European holocaust, were hidden
by the Jewish physicians, and
many of these findings have re
cently come to light. Dr. Dworec

Jewish community of this city
has undertaken a unique pro
ject—a “homecoming week-end”
for former residents and mem
bers of the community—to be
held Auugusut 15-16.
A voluntary committee has
written all former residents
whose addresses are known in
viting them to return for the
reunion. Accompanying the in
vitations was a list of former
residents estimated to contain
about five times as many names
as the present Jewish population
of the city.
The invitations stated that
there was no prepared program
and said the ‘‘primary purpose
at this time is to afford all those
who will attend an opportunity
to renew acquaintances, visit old
haunts, scenes of yesteryear
and, in general, revive pleasant
memories of the past.”

United States Development Fund
was announced July 20 by John

There’s nothing like a bowl of
chilled Cherry Borscht on a hot
midsummer day. We keep a
quart jar of it, (or Borscht made
of available berries) in the re
frigerator and serve it with a
heaping tablespoonful of sour-
cream stirred in, a sprig or two
of fresh mint and/or an addi
tional gob of sourcream for
topping. Try it this way:
CHERRY OR BERRY BORSCHT
2 cups pitted fresh sour cher
ries (or canned variety,
drained) or use the same
amount of currants, black
berries, black raspberries
or gooseberries, stemmed
and rinsed.
Cold water to make one quart
plus 3 tablespoons
14 cup brown suger (more if
desired)
•4 cup lemon juice (or sour
salt to make desired sour
ness)
A pinch of salt
5 drops red vegetable coloring
Bring fruit and water to a
brisk boil then add sugar and
lemon juice to taste. Cook over
reduced heat to a gentle bub
ble boil for 3 minutes, add a
pinch of salt and the vegetable
red coloring. Stir well. Let cool
before turning into a sterilized
quart jar. Refrigerate at least
two hours before serving, as
suggested above. We like to pass
some crackers, shredde^l wheat
bits or other dry cereal that
the family prefers. Thislamount
serves 4 generously. Yes, of
course, add juice of 'canned
cherries or berries last.
easy to prepare and so attrac
tive, too. Try it once, serve it
often.
FROZEN FRUIT AND
CHEESE SALAD
2 cups creamed cottage cheese
or dry curds
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fine granulated
sugar
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 cup diced, peeled orange
(seeds removed)
'A cup chopped maraschino
cherries
2 tablespoons cherry juice
1/3 cup chopped pecans (or
walnuts)
Sieve dry cottage cheese into
a mixing bowl. Combine with
the other ingredients in the
order listed and turn into an
aluminum foil-lined refrigerator
tray, folding foil over top.
Freeze till solid, 2 hours at
coldest temperature. Unmold
and cut into 6 portions. Serve
on lettuce with a garnish of
fresh berries of any kind avail
able. No dressing needed! Serves
removed. Cut off a bit of one
end of the egg and place it in
the center of a scooped out to
mato half. Place this on a bed
of shredded lettuce in the cen
ter of serving plate. Now ar
range bits of green pepper or
Maslinas to stimulate eyes and
mouth on the egg, and arrange
a dunce cap made by cutting
off a corner of a white envelope
and place it on top of egg at a
rakish angle. If desired, and
time permits, use a crayon pencil
to decorate the dunce cap. The
youngsters love this touch!
And here’s a suggestion that
always goes BIG with the
youngsters. We call it.
