Shop Downtown Monday Thursday 10 to 9 mm0'i trip was to acquaint them with some of the uses of the money raised. Mr. Bernstein and Alvin Rogal, campaign chairman, were the only members of the party to visit Morocco. In Casablanca they visited a walled city within the city, sheltering a Jewish community of 100,000, living basically as their ancestors did 1500 years ago. "They have been out of touch with civilization for many years," said Mr.

Bernstein. "They are superstitious and ignorant. They have had contact with the wheel, but that's about it," he said. He described how most of them live in "alley caves" with little food and clothing. He explained there is little that can be done for the older members of society who aro "beyond help." "We can only make them a little more comfortable," he said.

However, there is hope for the children. Given some hot meals, a little education and some attention, they begin to come alive. "I saw it with my eyes, "instant people." own "Out of nothing, denly people." sud- They began to become in- terested in life and to make progress toward becoming useful members of society, he noted. Mr. Bernstein, Mr.

Rogal and their associates in the campaign hope to raise over $2 million to help needy Jews like those in Casablanca and elsewhere throughout the world. Their campaign begins to night at the Hilton Hotel with an advanced gifts dinner. Last year's campaign raised $1.5 million. The Federation supports some 33 agencies here and abroad, the largest of which is the United Jewish Appeal. Mr.

Rogal explained the money In Morocco will go for free feeding programs, medical care and job training as well as education for the young. In France Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Rogal visited camps housing thousands of Jews who have migrated from North Africa. "The integration of these people into French society Is tremendous problem," said Mr.

Bernstein. Here money will be used for job retraining and education, he explained. About half the money collected, however, will remain in the Pittsburgh area, Mr. Rogal emphasized. Such institutions as hospitals, homes for the aged and homes for babies rely heavily on the United Jewish Federation.

NORTHWAY MALL JENKINS ARCADE Place To Talk As You Feel Some 200 professional men here know a perfect place to let their hair down and shake off the pressures of a hectic business day. The spot is a spacious suite of rooms off the club floor of the Penn Sheraton Hotel where they can plop down on comfortable orange leather chairs and speak their mind. They are members of The Amen Corner judges, clergymen, politicians, artists, industrialists, men of nearly every profession drawn together by the spirit of sociability. Amen Corner wasn't found edit merely happened. One day before the turn of the century a handful of Downtown business compan ions decided to meet at the.

corner of bixtn btreet ana Liberty Avenue after working hours. The nightly rendezvous to let off steam became a habit and "The Steps," as they chose to call them- selves, became the forerun ner of "The Corner." Discussions ranging over a multitude of subjects highlighted these casual gatherings, just as they do today. Eventually the progress of a growing city forced The Steps to abandon their meeting place. Soon a person in some position of influence at the William Penn Hotel (now the Penn -Sheraton) noted their plight and invited them over to "meet in a corner of the lobby." The Amen Corner evolved and the lobby nook eventually gave way to the suite a large rectangular room flanked by smaller barroom and poker room. Members' dues pay the rent and keep the cooler stocked.

Lining the walls are photographs of former Corner presidents. An impressive gallery, it includes Charles Margiotti, Bill Benswanger, John P. Harris, Tom Johnson, Judge Marshall, John Eichleay, to name only several. Each year the retiring pres ident is honored with a testi monial dinner. Members make an all-out effort to Insure the affair's success and the guest list aL ways includes two or three U.

S. Senators. Mayor Barr will be on hand as usual when the current president, Thomas H. Evans, president of Carnegie Gas, is feted April 6 in the Penn- Sheraton. Paul B.

Relnhold, civlo leader and president-treasurer of Atlas Equipment is president elect. For 35 years until his death last Spring, U. S. Commissioner Fred Obley served as the Corner's secretary, 'His assistant, Mrs. Dolly Branchik, became familiar with the records and The Corner decided to give her the job instead of bothering to train a new man.

Occupying a small office adjoining the suite, she sees members come and go throughout the day.

March 9 The main line of the Balti more Ohio Railroad between Clarksburg and Park-ersburg will be shut down for 90 days starting May 14 as a $5,500,000 tunnel improvement program gets under way.

The railroad said the project was set up to eliminate present restricting on oversize and high cars such as trideck auto carriers which cannot move through the present tunnels. In some of the tunnels, the roadbeds will be lowered and tracks realigned. Others will be converted to open cuts and in some cases, tunnels will be eliminated by relocating the right-of-way. The project, the said, is jexpected to pay for itself within a year through increased traffic and will mean a $500,000 yearly savings in operating costs.
