Father Flanagan of Boys Town, addressing a mass meeting here, paid tribute to American Jews who helped him found the famous rehabilitation home. He singled out particularly Henry Monsky, president of B’nai B’rith.

Father Flanagan asserted that there were few Jewish boys in Boys Town because Jewish parents showed a great sense of moral responsibility toward their children’s upbringing.
