Description:Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46245 PRESIDENT DISAVOWS GENERAL’S REMARKS ON JEWS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Ford has reproved the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. George S. Brown, for making “ill-advised” remarks which claimed that Israel has “too much influence” in the U.S. Congress. The general was also quoted as saying, Jews “own, you know, the banks in this country, the newspapers.” Ron Nessen, the President’s press secretary, told newsmen that Mr. Ford had disavowed the remarks made by Gen. Brown on Oct. 10 at Duke University. He said the President “considers Gen. Brown’s remarks ill-advised and poorly handled” and “feels very strongly about it.” Several national Jewish organizations have urged President Ford to dismiss Gen. Brown. They charged that his remarks, made public Nov. 13, were malicious and prejudicial to Israel and American Jews. Members of Congress also protested the general’s comments. Gen. Brown, in a telegram to the Jewish War Veterans and in a later statement, apologized for his remarks made during a question and answer session following a speech to Duke law students in Durham, N.C. He said his “true feelings concerning Jewish Americans were not reflected” in the remarks reported in the press.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46241 ISSUES THREAT AGAINST ARAFAT NEW YORK -- With a pistol prominently displayed on his desk, Russell Kelner, who claims he is the chief of operations of the Jewish Defense League, tells newsmen that “We have trained men who will make sure that Arafat (Yasir Arafat, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization) and his lieutenants do not leave New York alive” during a press conference at the JDL’s New York headquarters. On the wall behind Mr. Kelner is a picture of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the militant Jewish organization. The day after making his threat against Mr. Arafat, who came to New York to address the United Nations General Assembly, Mr. Kelner was arrested by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and charged with violating a Federal law that prohibits someone from using interstate commerce to threaten to injure and kidnap another person. Mr. Arafat arrived at the United Nations under tight security precautions and addressed the General Assembly without incident.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46285 PROJECT CONCERN CLARKRANGE, Tenn. -- Dr. James Turpin, a former ministerial student, has become a major personality in the field of health care. A native of Ashland, Ky., Dr. Turpin attended Emory University’s Candler School of Theology, a United Methodist institution, planning to enter the minister. But he found this was not where he should be. Still wanting to find a place of ministry to the needs of mankind, the entered Emory’s School of Medicine and earned an M.D. He soon found his place. While practicing in California, Dr. Turpin became aware of the medical needs of the people living in Tijuana, Mexico’s, slums, so on weekends began giving assistance at a small charity clinic there. His interest in providing medical care for the disadvantaged grew and in 1961 he founded Project Concern. A year later the first Project Concern out-patient clinic was established in a disease-infested ghetto of Kowloon, Hong Kong, where more than 20,000 populated a six-square-block area. That beginning sparked what is today one of the leading private-sector health-care organizations in the world. Project Concern treats more than 500,000 persons annually, providing a full range of medical and dental services to impoverished people in the U.S. and abroad. It operates four hospitals and 11 clinics in Hong Kong, South Vietnam, Ethiopia, Mexico, in Bisti, N.M., on the edge of the Navajo Reservation and in Appalachia at Clarkrange, Tenn. While Dr. Turpin spent the first decade of Project Concern’s existence with organizations and fund-raising work, by the early 1970s it had become firmly established and an administrative staff had been selected and headquartered in San Diego. In 1972, he and his doctor wife, Mollie, assumed medical directorship of the Appalachian program headquartered in Clarkrange. Four days each week two white mobile health-care vans ply the narrow, winding backroads of rural Tennessee bringing medical and dental care to the hill people. More than 1,000 patients are treated each month through the mobile vans. At top, Doctors James and Mollie Turpin look over a medical record and discuss a patient’s needs while other personnel are busy. Dr. Turpin a 10 to 12 hour day. Below, a dental crew, inside a van, work on patients at Pine Haven, Tenn. The group is training young patients to care for their teeth in addition to providing treatment.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46281 CIVIL DEFENSE FOOD COULD FEED MILLIONS NEW YORK -- Carmin G. Novis (left), director of the Mayor’s Emergency Control Board, and Cynthia Walsh of his staff, turn over civil defense supplies to Louis Samia, executive director of CARE, at a New York City fallout shelter. New York has had a policy for several years under which food supplies are transferred to CARE whenever a building with a fallout shelter is demolished. CARE then sends the food to countries such as Niger, Chad and Bangladesh. In New York City alone, there are enough food supplies to feed an estimated 12 million persons for two weeks. Some churches may not be aware that they have such food supplies literally at their feet. In the early 1960s, church buildings throughout the country had their basements converted into fallout shelters, with supplies of food and clothing that could be used in the event of a nuclear attack. In most cases, these food supplies are still in the church basements and are still edible. But, in many places local regulations will not permit the churches to release the foodstuffs.

U Thant, who was 65, entered the hospital Nov. 22, suffering from pneumonia. He was first operated on for cancer of the cheek about 13 months ago. A devout Buddhist, U Thant first came to the United Nations as a Burmese delegate in the 1950s. He was appointed Acting Secretary-General in November 1961, following the then-mysterious disappearance and death of his predecessor, Dag Hammarskjold of Sweden, on a peace mission to the Congo, now called Zaire. In November 1962 he was reconfirmed for a full five-year term and then extended for another five-year period until retirement at the end of 1971.

Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46268 KEEPING FIT HAMPTON, Va. -- Evangelist Billy Graham (left) and his music director, Cliff Barrows, relax on a dock near the Hampton Roads Coliseum, catching their breath following a short run. The two men had broken away from the routine of readying for Mr. Graham’s recent Tidewater Crusade to get some exercise. “I run practically ever day,” the evangelist said as he patted the rock-hard muscles of his leg. The running has also taken off inches from his waist -- four to be exact. Mr. Graham commented that he used to run a mile and a half each day. But following a slight heart disorder a couple of years ago -- blockage of a nerve bundle to the right of his heart -- doctors told him to cut back slightly on the exercise. “I’ll run now, I guess, about a quarter of a mile to a half mile per day.” He added that he also swims whenever he can. Mr. Graham, who is 56, said that at one time, he played golf a great deal -- with an average running score in the low 80s -- but he hardly plays anymore. “It got so it takes so long to play, and it’s so expensive. So, I just run now. It doesn’t cost me anything and I can do it anytime that I’ve got the time.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (EB-VA-11C-74-DS)Creator:Briggs, Ed.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: PC-46256 COMMUNICATING THE WORD THROUGH PUZZLES LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Some clergymen communicate the Word through preaching, but the Rev. C.H. Edwardsen has found a new medium -- word puzzles. Since 1971, the minister-turned-businessman has been encouraging millions of children, shut-ins, and puzzle lovers to “Seek and Find,” using the word puzzles produced by the DMR Company, of which he is board chairman. Each puzzle appears in the format of a square made up of letters. The object is to connect letters horizontally or vertically, from right to left or left to right, to form words, such as shown in the bottom photo. Each one has a special theme, such as books of the Bible or symbolic names for Jesus. How did “Preach” Edwardsen, who in the top photo works on the puzzles with his son Robin, a Princeton Seminary graduate who describes himself as a “Presbyterian of a broad ecumenical type,” get into the puzzle business? After 19 years as a public relations man, he created a few simple word games to amuse a group of hospitalized children. They quickly became popular among a growing number of children and mass production soon followed. In response to numerous requests, the DMR Company, which is based in Jeffersontown, Ky., a Louisville suburb, has come out this year with a special edition of Seek and Find based entirely on religious themes. (Previous puzzle books have dealt with such subjects as place names, minerals, cheeses and Indian tribes.) “We wanted to try producing a sound word puzzle based on Bible subjects,” Mr. Edwardsen said, “but we were not prepared for the kind of response we received.” Millions of orders have already come in from agencies of various denominations and second and third editions of the Bible puzzle book are now in the works.
