Rabbi Weiss
Jerome W. Kelman, chairman
of the 19th midwestern conven-
tion of Young Israel, announces
that Rabbi Dr. Samson R. Weiss,
national director of Young Israel
in this country, who has just re-
turned from Israel, will deliver
the main address of the conven-
tion at 8 p.m., Friday, November

Center, 12521 Dexter boulevard.

ish values was advocated by Rab-
bi Philip S. Bernstein, former
adviser on Jewish affairs to Gen.
Clay
Rabbi Bernstein said he was
looking forward to an increasing
democratization of Jewish life
in this country. He said the wel-
fare funds have served a useful
purpose but that they "should
come under the control of demo-
cratically controlled Jewish com-
munity councils."
Petegorsky called on American
Jewry to fulfill its obligation of
aid to Israel and charged that the
people who were trying to raise
the "false bogey of dual alle-
giance" were in effect attempting
to frighten American Jews into
disassociating themselves from
the Jewish community of Israel.
WARNS OF 'MUNICH'
A warning
that ''another
Munich" could result from the
current Big Three conference on
Germany was sounded in the key-
note address by Rabbi Irving
Miller, chairman of the executive
committee of the American Jew-
ish Congress. •
Rabbi Miller said that freedom
loving peoples everywhere should
be on the alert against "another
Munich"—the proposal to halt
ZOA and Agency Agree
on Allocation of Funds
NEW YORK—(WNS)---Daniel
Frisch, president of the Zionist
Organization of America, an-
nounced conclusion of an agree-
ment with the Jewish Agency
for Palestine and the World Con-
federation of General Zionists
providing for the allocation of
$1,250,000 to the ZOA for con-
structive projects in Israel and
for financing the first two ZOA
colonies.
Under the agreement, the sum
of $500,000 will be made avail-
able from the confederation and
$750,000 by the Jewish Agency
for Palestine.
YIELDS ON DRIVE
On the question of the ZOA
right to conduct a separate cam-
paign Frisch said that, although
the amount placed at the dis-
posal of the ZOA was not "at all
adequate for the high .purposes
we have in mind, the ZOA has
momentarily yielded its right to
enter upon a special campaign
out of regard for the needs of
the hour which require complete
concentration on the forthcoming
United Jewish Appeal campaign."
Reverting to his recent "Pro-
gram for Action," a plan calling
for the democratization of the
Jewish community in America
through a democratically elected
over-all body, Frisch said it was
idle to expect that full mobiliza-
tion • of American Jewry as long
as the Jewish community "is dom-
inated by a few individuals and
small groups with vested inter-
ests."
CITES FEDERATIONS
He referred to his program of
"Jewish democracy in America
beginning with democratization of
the local Jewish community
councils and ending with a pro-
jected democratic representation
of the Jews of the United States
to which all Jewish national or-
ganizations and fund raising
agencies are to be subjects for
supervision or control."
Under • his plan national or-
ganizations and fund raising
agencies would take their place
as accredited agencies of the en-
tire Jewish community in Ameri-
ca. This, he added, "would apply
particulary to the Jewish Federa-
tions and Welfare Funds, which in
the new democratic communal or-
der would be required to serve as
the fiscal arm for the whole Jew-
ish community, under strict com-
munal control."
NCCJ Honors GE's Wilson
As It Marks 21st Birthday
one National Conference
Comes of Age," was the motto of
the 21st anniversary dinner given
by the National Conference of
'Christians and Jews last Wednes-
day in honor of Charles E. Wil-
ton, president of General Electric.
The more than 1,000 guests
arose from their chairs • and
Cheered the famous industrial
leader as he accepted a special
citation from John O'Brien, co-
Chairman of the conference.
Wilson was chosen because of
the leadership he gave the Presi-
dent's committee on civil' rights
and his 'loyal advocacy of human
understanding."
Henry Wineman was chairman
and Edgar A. Guest, toastmaster.
Wilson, in his acceptance
speech, made it clear that the
fight for civil rights has to go on
and is making progress but that
we are still a long way from
Utopia in our dealings with our
fellow men. He expressed his
conviction that the individual
can do much to alleviate injus-
tice' but also pointed out that
there are many basic issues that
remain unresolved and will do
so fur some time.
It takes a long period, he said,
to develop friendly attitudes.
Such attitudes, he added, cannot
be legislated and, therefore, we
have to depend on the slow proc-
ess of education and persuasion.
He warned that the germ of in-
tolerance is within all of us and
that the minorities, having be-
come minority-conscious, often
add to the misunderstanding by
their behavior and demands. Mu-
tual understanding, he said, can
be achieved although it may
grow slowly.
The invocation was given by
the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Edward J.
Hickey and the benediction by
Rabbi Leon Fram.
The Goose Cousins Club cele-
brated the anniversary of several
of its members at a dinner.
Those honored were Mesdames

Goose, 15 years, and Aubrey

dismantling of German war-
potential industries.
Reviewing the work of the
American Jewish Congress on be-
half of civil rights and anti-
discrimination legislation, Rabbi
Miller sharply scored those Jews
who advise their fellow religion-
ists to avoid "notoriety," since
such "notoriety" is the lot of all
who fight for just and, frequent-
ly, unpopular causes.
"It is our responsibility and our
task," he said, "as it has always
been, to maintain the term 'Jew'
as synonymous with the struggle
for human rights. If a Jewish
organization failed to speak up
on vital American issues, it would
fail American democracy."
GOLDMANN ASKS UNITY
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, acting
president of the World Jewish
Congress, urged increased sup-
port from the American Jewish
Congress for the work of halting
the terror faced by Jewish com-
munities in Moslem lands, par-
ticularly in Iraq.
he fundamental task of the
World Jewish Congress," said Dr.
Goldmann, "is to express and
strengthen the unity of the Jew-
ish people all over the world
which is endangered by the
widening gap between east and
west in international affairs and
which has assumed increased im-
portance after the creation of the
State of Israel. To strengthen the
link between Jews all over the
world with Israel and to main-
tain the unity of one Jewish
people, both in Israel and outside
of it, is one of the major tasks of
the present Jewish generation."
