ZOA Not. Ready to Abdicate;
Chaitces of Frisch Soaring
By WILLIAM ZUKERMAN
(Jewish World News Service)
NEW YORK—The rumblings of
a new, or renewed, storm in
American Jewish social life have
been it tinctly heard, indicating
that the unfortunate . controversy
revolving around the UPA and
ZOA was not a thing of the
Past.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann and
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, have
both returned to New York from
a tour of the country and held
a meeting of the ZOA national
executive to map out a plan of
action for the next few months.
The most important Jecision
of the conclave was to advance
'Me convocation of the annual
ZOA convention by nearly two
months. It will be held in New
'York City on May 28.
NOT SO FAST
In making the announcement,
Dr. Neumann indicated in general
outlines the trends, if not the
actual program, of the pre-con-
vention period. In brief,. it was
that the ZOA was not prepared
to abdicate its responsibilities be-
fore its mission was fully accom-
plished.
"Today there are many who
would like to 'take over," Dr.
• Neumann said, "Many who are
pushing to the front, willing to
thrust the Zionist movement aside
and consign it to oblivion. To
them we say Not so fast, good
friends.' It is well to bear in

mind that the State of Israel Is
the product of a half century of
unremitting toil and struggle and
organized Zionist effort.
"Israel is the child of the
Zionist movement, born of its
travail. The welfare of the in-
fant child will continue to be' a
Zionist responsibility. The time
has not yet come for demobiliza-
tion and relaxation. The very
opposite is true. If there were no
Zionist movement in existence,
this would be the time to create
it."
SILVER WON'T RUN
This is the immediate program
of the ZOA. Specifically, we learn
from reliable sources near to the
executive, that a concerted effort
will be made to strengthen the
economic institutions of the ZOA
particularly the Israel Economic
Corporation and private invest-
ments in Israel under the auspices
of the ZOA.
The slogan of the campaign
will be non-interference in the
internal affairs of the American
Zionists by any outside power,
even if it comes from Tel Aviv,
and a reassertion of the inde-
pendence of American Zionism.
Dr. Silver has evidently elim-
inated himself from the candidacy
for the next presidency of the
ZOA and the chances of the
much more conservative Daniel S.
Frisch seem to be soaring.

And whereas Daniel Frisch
has made his way from the rank
and file of Zionist membership
to his present high position in
the Zionist movement and is
steeped in Jewish culture and
tradition and known to the masses
of American Jewry by his prolific

And whereas Daniel Frisch is
equally well known to the people

half he has labored ardously.
Now, therefore, be it resolved,
that the executive board of the
Michigan Zionist Region meet-

Grand Rapids, Mich., represent-

6,000 enrolled Zionists, indorses
the candidacy of Daniel Frisch

and calls upon the 52nd annual
convention of the ZOA to elect
him unanimously to that high
office.
The convention will be held
May 28 to 30 in New York.

GOP Support
LANSING—(Special)—The Re-
publican majority in the legisla-
ture has agreed to push what it
calls a compromise FEPC meas-
ure with features of state and
local administration.
GOP leaders say their bill em-
phasizes conciliation rather than
force in settlement of disputes
over discrimination in jobs. Puni-
tive action would be in the hands
of the courts which would deter-
mine if there was an infraction of
FEPC legislation.
Gov. Williams' FEPC bill would
set up an enforcing agency. The
governor has intimated, however,
that he would accept a fairly
strong GOP measure if it came
close to his specifications.
Liberal and church organiza-
tions have been urging the legis-
lature to pass the governor's bill
based on the successful New
York state statute.
Appearing in Lansing with
churchmen, Rabbi Leo Fram said:
"New York, during the four
years' operation of its FEPC law,
has never had 'to resort to its
police powers for enforcement.
The American employer believes
in fair play. He can be persuaded
to act on that belief when injus-
tice is called to his attention."

2 'Hate' Volumes
NEW YORK — (WNS) — The
first legal suit of its kind in New
York state will be brought
against the board of education
next week in the event its of-
ficials refuse to eliminate from
the public schools Charles Dick-
ens' Oliver Twist and Shake-
speare's Merchant of Venice, it
was disclosed here by former
City Magistrate Joseph Goldstein.
Goldstein has notified the board
that hi would bring suit unless
those volumes are banned.
The Dickens novel, he said,
"inculcates bitter hatred and mai-
iCe in the hearts and minds of
many students and pupils, and
the Merchant of Venice, he
charged, instills in growing chil-
dren "an unwholesome prejudice
and hatred."
Continued use of those books in
the public school system, Judge
Goldstein stated. can only suc-
ceed in paying dividends of "hate.
prejudice, intolerance and bigotry
in the generations to come."
