Senator Kenneth B. Keating (Rep., N.Y.) today introduced a joint resolution on the Senate floor to observe April 9 of this year in commemoration of the uprising of Warsaw ghetto Jews, 21 years ago. In presenting the resolution, the New York Senator said:

“Out of the shoes of the Warsaw ghetto rises a living memorial–the young and great state of Israel. A haven for the Jewish people, Israel today stands as a showcase of free government in the Middle East.” The resolution, presented “in the name of free people everywhere,” was received and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
