for Sonic Autonomy
CARLSBAD (WNS) --A reso-
lution condemning Palestine's ex-
tremists hnd their activities was
approved at the closing session
here of the Conference of Euro-
pean Zionist Federations.
Among the resolutions was one
calling on the Jewish Agency to
grant the European organizations
autonomy with regard to funds
raised through the sale of Sheka-
lim, assistance to Chalutzim and
in matters of Zionist education
and publicity.
Four Jews, alleged to be mem-
bers of the Irgun Zvai Leurni,
were arrested on charges of il-
legally possessing a suitcase with
bottles of explosive liquids and
everal handmade bombs. The
men were captured after distrib-
uting leaflets attacking some of
the delegates at the Conference
of European Zionist Federations.
An arrested man, Heinoe. Gus-
sier, is being ■ held by American
military police in Austria. Gos-
sier, a polceman at a DP center
at Bad Gastein, was reported to
have implicated four Polish Jew-
ish DP's alleged to be responsible
for the recent placing of a land
mine in the path of a British
troop train in the Austrian Alps.
The American authorities be-
lieve the arrest wit lead to the
uncovering of ligunist activities
in Austria.
The United Nations SpeCial
Committee on Palestine may
"acknowledge Jewish rights in
Palestine, butt there is no cer-
tainty that any action will be
taken." Moshe Shertok, head of
the political department of the
Jewish Agency, declared at the
second session of the conference.
The delegates also heard
Moshe Sneh, Agency executive
member, who charged• that
"British imperialism strength-
ened the Arabs against the
Jews" and that British Foreign
Secretary Bevin was the "spirit-
ual inciter",of the recent anti-
Jewish riots in Britain because
of the fact that the "described
Zionism as the Zewlsh fight
against Chriitianity."
He said he %vas of the opinion
that a "good solution" of the
Palestine problem could not be
expected from Britain "because
she does not support a Jewish
State under any circumstances"
and suggested that the Zionists
must. therefore, "seek friends in
the East and West."

MAN OF THE WEEK
A
WHOLESOME INTEREST in boys and their problems and an
earnest desire to help them grow into conscientious, vibrant
young men has become a fundamental part of Albert Green's life.
As the sparkplug for Congregation Shaarey Zedek's Boy Scout
program, Green gets "a tremendous kick out of helping boys de-
velop a healthy understanding and concern for their fellow scouts
and the entire community.
"In the scouting program, we
titke the neighborhood groups
that spring up and give them
direction, We get the same boys
and use their leaders, but instead
of allowing them to grow up
into rowdy, uncontrolled gangs,
we give them something con-
structive to do and assist them
in their social and intellectual
growth."
• • •
WITH HIS VAST experience
with youth to back him up,
Green points out that the scouts
are really enthusiastic about llo-
ing things for the public. They
get a priceless thrill out of rais-
ing money to send to the needy
in Europe. These scouts have
plenty of initiative and don't
flinch at the hard work involved.
ALBERT GREEN
But what they need most is parental assistance.
"We must take time to educate the adults to take an interest
in what their child is doing. The boys know what they want, but
need someone to show them how to do it. I'm convinced that if
more adults would become active in youth programs, we wouldn't
have any social problems." Green said.
"Unless we encourage the big and noble ideas bubbling up in the
hearts of youth and inspire them with ideals they can realize, they
will not grow into the fine citizens we envision."

•
ALTHOUGH THE SCOUTING movement has not embarked
on a militant crusade to combat prejudice, Green is confident
that the very nature of the movement is effective in battling
racism. "The fact that boys of different backgrounds are living
together as citizens and learning the tenets of democracy in
their work and play is a great factor in breaking down preju-
dices."
In his role as commissioner of Boy Scouts in Detroit's district
4, Green has found his favorite organizations. But not to be
slighted is his duty as president of Shaarey Zedek's Men's Club.
In his first year as head of the club, Green has worked hard to
enhance the social life of the congregation members alongside
their religious duties.
Green feels that the congregation should be a social center
fur the community as well as a spiritual edifice. To further that
ideal, Green has been a cog in developing the club's policy of
sponsoring well-known speakers and in fostering the Layman's
Institute, designed to give Jews a better understanding of them-
selves and their ancient heritage.

Coordinating Body
Gets Advisory Status
NEW YORK — The American
Jewish Conference, the Board of
Deputies of British Jews and the
South African Jewish Board of
Deputies received official UN
recognition when the economic
and social council granted con-
sultative status to the Coordi-
nating Board of Jewish Organi-
zations.
Through 'its three constituent
bodies, the Coordinating Board
will be the authorized spokesman
at the economic and social coun-
cil for the overwhelming majority
of Jews in the United States, the
United Kingdom and the 'Union
of South Africa. Approximately
six million Jews, or half of the
Jewish population in the world,
today reside in these three Eng-
lish-speaking countries. In addi-
tion, through the aililiates of its
three member organizations, Jew-
ish groups in 26 other countries
are represented by th Coordinat-
ing Board.
OPINION CHANNEL
Since the United Nations is now
concerned with matters of dis-
tinct and great importance to
Jews, such as the Palestine issue,
refugees, displaced persons and
human rights, the Coordinating
Board will provide a channel
whereby majority Jewish opinion
will be made officially known to
the UN economic and social
council.
The Coordinating Board is head-
ed by three co-chairmen. A suc-
cessor to the late Henry Monsky,
who was to be chairman represent-
ing the American Jewish Con-
ference, has yet to be chosen.
The other chairmen are Prof.
Selig Brodetsky, president of the
Board of Deputies, and Bernard
A. Ettlinger, K.C., of the South
African Jewish Board.

Joan, 9, is a Brownie; and his wife, Fanya, is program chairman
