In her acceptance speech,
Mrs. Tannenbaum paid
tribute to Mrs. Matzkin and
other Hadassah presidents
saying, “All of their accomp-
lishments on behalf of
Hadassah were done as
part of a Zionist commit-
ment that does beyond
philanthropy — it is a
movement dedicated to the
• building of the Jewish
homeland and the continu-
ity and fulfillment of the
Jewish people.”
Frieda S. Lewis (of Great
Neck, N.Y.), national treas-
urer, explained in her
report that, even though
the 350,000 members,
responsible for fund-raising,
achieved a remarkable
feat, in light of the
recession and inflation here
and in Israel, Hadassah is
forced to achieve higher
collections for 1976-77.
Furthermore, newly open-
ed facilities will increase
the Hadassah medical
Organization budget by
$2,000,000.
Over $60 million in

Rose Goldman, (Jersey
City, N.J.) membership
chairman reported that the
membership has grown
from 340,000 to over
350,000 this year. “It is
particularly significant that

maintain what they have.”
Patricia Paikin (Nanuet,
N.Y.) Life Membership
chairman, introduced

a Jew.”

health, educational, rehabil-
itation and land reclama-
tion services:
gun control laws to protect
the American people from
the dangers inherent in
indiscriminate traffic in
firearms.
Freedom of the Press —
1. To assiduously utilize the
media to keep informed;
2. To be sensitive to and to
resist challenges to the
freedom of the media to
• investigate and report on
all matters of public inter-
est, ever mindful that the
media act responsibly and
impartially;
3. To use all available
facilities to assure that
freedom of the press be
maintained inviolate as a
precious American right.
Arab Economic Boycott —
views with deep concern
preliminary findings which
indicate compliance with
the Arab boycott by a
preponderant majority of
American firms. Business-
men need to realize that
such campaigns, of econ-
omic coercion, -nd the
conditions that are imposed
as a result of them, run

This includes Hadassah’s
adult and youth education
programs, and leadership
development.
‘The additional funds
ideals and established laws
on which this nation stands.
We note with satisfaction
the pending legislation in
both Houses of Congress in
this field. We urge enact-
ment and enforcement of
legislation and administra-
tive regulations to penalize
boycott. Submission to the
boycott must first be pub-
licly disclosed and, once
identified, curbed.
A.I.D. Programs — recog-
nizes that programs admin-
istered by the Agency for
International Development
have helped toward achiev-
ing international stability
and social progress by
raising economic standards
and by improving levels of
education and health in
many countries throughout
the world. We believe that
these programs are part of
helping to develop a secure
and better world for all
people.
We reaffirm our record of
many years in support of
these programs and in
support of the appropria-
tion of funds adequate to
assure their continued and
undiminished purpose and
scope.
International Terrorism —
calls on the United States,
which has taken a leading
role on this issue, to encour-
age all countries to refuse
to deal with, aid or give
refuge to terrorists. We
also call on all civilized
nations to refuse landing
rights to national carriers
of countries which aid and
abet the crime of skyjack-
ing.
Recognition of Jerusalem
as Capital — calls upon the
United States government
to officially recognize Jeru-
salem as the capital of
Israel. We believe that
after nearly three decades
of a functioning Israeli
government in Jerusalem,
the time has come to act in
accordance with this real-
ity. In consonance with this
recognition, we urge the
transfer of the American
Embassy to Jerusalem.

ON THE POLITICAL SCENE
Convention Report:
Jerry's N.Y. Friend Dick Rosenbaunt
Delivers 133 Delegates At K. Cifjf
BY STEVE WISCH
KANSAS CITY - The
shiny bald head belonged to
the chairman of New York’s
delegation to last week’s
Republican National Con-
vention here and it seemed
to keep popping up as the
convention progressed.
Richard Rosenbaum, who
is also known as “The Iron
Chancellor” in New York’s
Republican circles, was one
of President Ford’s staunch-
est supporters here. Be-
sides serving as chairman of
the convention delegation,
Rosenbaum is also chair-
man of New York’s state
Republican party.
Rosenbaum came
through for Ford last week.
He delivered 133 of New
York’s 164 delegate votes
to the president. As Rosen-
baum announced the vote
of the Empire State dele-
RICHARD ROSENBAUM
gation, he was not unno-
ticed by the president
himself.
“Look at old Rosie go,”
Ford remarked to a group
of aides, as he watched the
nomination vote on a bank
of three television sets.
It is clear that the White
House is quite high on
Rosenbaum, who says he
will work tirelessly for the
Republican ticket this fall.
Actually, his fealty to the
Republican Party is not so
surprising when you con-
sider that at age 45 he has
held a string of party
offices.
Before becoming New
York chairman, he served
as a state Supreme Court
judge (this is the trial court
in New York), and before

been honored by the gov-
