In Our Thirty-Fourth Year
Of Continuous Service
/ess jawin Solidarity Day
Next Sunday we will have an opportunity to “walk and be counted.”
One might ask who’s counting?
You are.
The count we’re speaking about is “Solidarity Sunday.” Mayor Bob Folsom
just proclaimed the day as special for Dallas history. Bob Folsom urges all
Dallasites — and even those who do not live within the confines of the city —
to join at the Jewish Community Center and make the 18 kilometer trek to
demonstrate that we are really one.
This is something we do for others because in the doing we not only pledge
our time and energy but we also pledge an amount for each mile or kilometer
walked.
But really there is so much more to it than just walking and counting, too.
Take the case of Dr. Ellen Loeb Katz, a Jewess and jewel, who was a victim
of the Nazis during the Holocaust. Though she was constantly surrounded by
death, she never gave up the bright ray of hope. When miraculously freed,
she never daunted and dedicated her life to help and save others.
Dr. Ellen Katz was a cancer specialist, who fell victim to the disease herself.
She treated thousands through her distinguished career and gave the living a
cherished hold on life, a ray of sunshine
She did her “walking” in every waking hour as a staff member of the
Granville C. Morton Cancer and Research Hospital of Wadley Institute of
Molecular Medicine.
Begin Stresses Israel
Will Not Retreat
On United Jerusalem
JERUSALEM [WNS] -
Premier Menachem Begin
stressed again he had told
President Carter during his
two days of talks with him in
Washington that Israel will
not retreat from its position
that Jerusalem must remain
united under Israeli sov-
ereignty, that Jews have a
right to settle on the West
Bank and that Israel must
safeguard its security. In a
televised Independence Day
eve address to the nation,
Begin said he had told
Carter that there would be
“no concessions” on these
issues. He said that Israel
intends to retain exclusive
control of internal security
on the West Bank and Gaza
even after autonomy is
established. “Otherwise in-
nocent people would be
killed by terrorists and so
would the peace itself,” the
Premier said. He said that
friends of Israel in the U.S.
told him that the security
motivations for West Bank
settlements were better
understood by Americans
than the nationalist-histori-
cal motivations. He said that
while he stressed security in
the U.S., Israelis must
understand that security
and Jewish heritage were
interwoven. Begin’s position
was supported by Chief of
Staff Gen. Raphael Eytan,
who said in another
television interview, that all
settlements on the West
Bank have security impor-
tance, direct or indirect. He
defined indirect security as
“the upholding of the Jewish
yishuv in Eretz Israel.”
In his address on Israel’s
32nd Independence Day,
President Yitzhak Navon
stressed values and ethics.
He said it was unwise to
ignore Israel serious social
and economic problems. But
it was equally wrong to
ignore or be unaware of the
fine and noble qualities in

Ellen, who survived three Nazi terror concentration camps, was born in
Wuppertal-Elberfeld, Germany where her father was a famous doctor. The
Nazis exterminated him in a gas chamber in 1942.
With her mother and sister, she held to that constant straw of life.
Following the freedom, she pursued pre-med studies at the University of
Amsterdam in Holland. After her emigration to the United States, she
attended Southern Methodist University from which she graduated in 1947.
In 1952 she received her doctorate from Southwestern Medical School in
Dallas.
Ellen saw the havoc of war and man’s inhumanity to man first hand. She
served in the Veteran’s Administration and from there she joined Wadley in
1956 as a clinical hematologist and internist. By 1969 she graduated to the top
position of chief of medicine.
Among her accomplishments were the development of a procedure for
removal and preservation of bone marrow now widely used. She also helped
research, develop and introduce several anti-cancer drugs. One of the most
recent research and control projects was the use of interferon, now in its
infancy as a cancer fighter, in Wadley’s clinical tests.
Dr. Ellen Katz died April 17. She is survived by her husband Dr. Morton
Katz, her mother, Dina Loeb and a sister, Gertrude Shanko, all of Dallas.
Yes, lots of us will be counting this Sunday at the Walkathon.
We’ll be thinking of the millions who have become memorials.
Many of us will be thinking of dedicated human beings like Dr. Ellen Katz.
And then we might let the wheels turn again and again and discover the
inner meanings of what “Solidarity Sunday” really is.

His Honor Urges Everyone To Join
Mayor Folsom Proclaims
'Israel Solidarity Day'
In Support of Walkathon
In support of the 1980
Dallas Community Walka-
thon for Israel which will be
held this Sunday, May 4,
Mayor Robert Folsom has
proclaimed the day as Israel
Solidarity Day in Dallas and
urged residents to join in the
walk.
Proceeds wifi go to the
Israel Emergency Fund of
the Jewish Federation of
Greater Dallas. Contribu-
tions will help Jewish
immigrants, handicapped
war veterans, and children
who need special care. Other
recipients include education-
al institutions, rehabilitation
centers, work training cen-
ters, and other vital projects
in Israel.
According to Walkathon
Chairman Ben Statman, the
five-hour walk is part of a
full day celebration in behalf
of Israel’s 32nd birthday. He
said that the Dallas event
links with more than 200
community walkathons
throughout the United
States and Canada and
provides opportunity for
demonstrating American
solidarity with Israel and
her people. All local syna-
gogues and temples are
allowing students an excus-
ed absence from Sunday
School, so they can partici-
pate in the walkathon.
City Councilman Sid
Stahl, Federation President
Everett Rosenberg, and
Brad Sham, local television
sports announcer, will of-

Methodist Minister Claims
Israeli Offer To Free Hostages
Was Rejected By White House
The Texas Jewish Post
was told in an interview
with Rev. John Grauel,
prominent retired Methodist
minister, that he learned
from Israeli intelligence
sources that Israel had made
a definite proposal to rescue
the American hostages held
by the Iranian government
and “student” militants over
two months ago.
Grauel, who is a noted
speaker for humanitarian
causes, revealed that the
Israeli rescue mission was
rejected by the highest
government authorities in
Washington.
He repeated the charge in
a speech he delivered
honoring key leaders in the
Radio-TV, Electronics and
Appliances Division of New
York City’s Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies held
at the New York Hilton last
Saturday. The meeting hon-
ored Bernard Appel, vice-
president and general-
manager of Radio Shack, as
part of a trio who have
worked selflessly to support
humanitarian causes.
Grauel, who spoke at the
University of Texas before
the student body last week,
is famous for his efforts on
the refugee ship Exodus on
which he served as a
volunteer.
