Browdy Likely to Be the Next President of ZOA

By PIIINEAS J. BIRON
NIEL FRISCH'S untimely death will have far-
D `
reaching consequences.
Frisch's presidency marked a -
turning piiint not
so
much in the policies of the ZOA but in its type of
leadership.

However, Frisch with a diplomatic skill worthy
of a Jim Farley built up throughout the country
much personal support that there was ,no way so
of
stopping him.

Now that the Frisch interlude is over the ZOA is
more confronted with the same conflict that
threatened to break up last year's convention.

Unlike most of his predecessors,
with the exception of Louis Lipsky, .
he brought to the Zionist move-
ment little if any outside prestige.

Zionist movement.

once

The Lipsky groups will probably back Benjamin
G. Browdy of Brooklyn, a substantial business man
who for years has played an active role in the munici-
pal politics of New York.

Ile was in no sense of the word
a Zionist theoretician or for that
matter a Zionist orator. But Frisch
was the first Zionist politician who
knew how to plily politics within Biron
the movement.

Browdy is a staunch Frisch man who believes
that the function of the ZOA is to provide con-
structive• support to Israel.

Like Frisch he has no patience for the personal
controversies between Dr. NahUm Goldmann and
Rabbi Silver, nor does he think
that American Zion-
ists can carry OD
an independent policy from that of
the Israeli government.

This is not said in any disparaging sense. As a
matter of fact, it is meant us a tribute to his re-
sourceful activity which led him to the office of the
presidency.

The Silver and Neumann men, • on the other hand
feel—with some justification—that the Zionist leader-
ship in America can and should be the political bridge
between the American government, the UN, and the
Israeli government.

It is of course an open secret tiwit Frisch was not
wanted as president. neither the Silver group nor
the Lipsky fact i on considered him a
serious can-
didate..

The forthcoming Zionist Convention," therefore,

will see
a renewed struggle between the so-called
Silver-Neumann forces, and the Lipsky-Goldmann-
Browdy group.
We 'predict that Browdy will be elected as Frisch's
successor in Chicago this summer.

MORE THAN RUMORS have been circulated that
a movement is on foot to give Franco the kosher

label.

The recent report from Spain made by Brooklyn's
Jewish Congressman Abraham Mutter is not the first
tratalloon..0ther non-Jewish travelers have pointed
out that the 5,000 Jews of Spain are leading a secure
and autonomous existence under the Fascist regime
of Franco.

It is said in well-informed circles that a deal has
been concluded between certain prominent Catholic
leaders and very eminent Jewish leaders in this
country, and that these favorable reports about Jew-
ish life in Spain arc forerunners of public support
by influential Jewish groups for
the admission of
Franco into the United Nations.

There are even some Zionist leaders in this
country who have the fantastic notion that support
of Franco might change the Vatican's attitude on the
internationalization of Jerusalem.

This belief is not shared by the Israeli government.
