A nursing home for children, named in honor of Captain Colin P. Kelly, Jr. and Bombardier Meyer Levin, has been established in England by the Jewish Section of the Interfaith Committee for Aid to the Democracies, it was announced today by Dr. Israel Goldstein, chairman.
In announcing the new home which links the name of America’s first war ace killed in action and the corporal who served with him on the historic flight during which the Japanese battleship Haruna was sunk, Dr. Goldstein pointed out that these two Americans, one of Irish and one of Jewish descent, symbolize the united will to victory of the allied nations. The home is the seventh to be established by the Jewish Section.
