ZOA Convention Opens
in Tense Atmosphere

New ZOA Head

Houses for Israel

Benjamin G. Browdy Succeeds
Late Daniel Frisch as President

CHICAGO—(WNS)—The future of the Zionist move-
ment and the reorientation of American ZionisM- were the
highlights on the agenda of the 53rd annual convention of the
Zionist Organization of America as 2,000 delegates gathered in
a five-day conclave.

•

Before the convention opened,
Benjamin G. Browdy, newly
elected president of ZOA, made
public a list of statements by
leading American public figures
lauding Israel's role as a demo-
cratic outpost in the Middle East
and calling on all free nations,
including the United States, for
the support of the Jewish state
in its struggle for security and
. peace.
The messages also paid tribute
to the Zionist Organization of
America for the part it played in
the establishment of Israel as an
independent nation.
One of the messages, by Secre-
tary of the Interior Oscar S.
Chapman, lauded the "great con-
tributions" of the Zionist Organ-
ization of America "to the cause
of democracy and freedom in the
new nation of Israel." A similar
'message was received from Secre-
tary of Agriculture Charles F.
Brannon.
Secretary of Commerce Charles
Sawyer stressed the need for eco-
nomic aid to Israel, while Attor-
hey General J. Howard McGrath
viewed "a strong, democratic Is-
rael" as "a bulwark of free peo-
ple in that area of the globe." He
called the ZOA "a powerful in-

strumentality for continued Jew-
ish physical, cultural and spirit-
ual development," adding that by
supporting the new Jewish state
the ZOA "is also making a signifi-
cant contribution to the peace of
the world."
°ratification over the contribu-
tions made by the American trade
union movement to the State of
Israel was voiced by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and Philip
Murray, president of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations. Both
labor leaders called for Israel's
continued support by the free na-
tions of the world.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York deplored the factors which
are compelling Israel "to allot an
exhausting share of its funds to
defense against aggression" at a
time when the fledgling state
should "devote all available
funds" to the purpose of absorb-
ing immigrants and providing
them with homes and livelihood.
Confidence in Israel as a demo-
cratic outpost in the middle East
was expressed by Rep. John W.
McCormack, Democratic house
majority leader and Rep. Joseph
W. Martin, Jr., minority leader.
The convention got under way

BENJAMIN G. BROWDY of
Brooklyn, N. Y., was elected
president of the Zionist Organi-
zation of America at this week's
annual convention held in Chi-
cago. He succeeds the late Dan-
iel Frisch who died last March.
Browdy has been acting presi-
dent of the ZOA since Frisch's
death.

Construction of 410 housing units, valued at more than $1,500,000, in
major Israeli areas to help relieve the critical housing' shortage, was
announced recently by AMEIC-American Eretz Israel Corp., 565 Fifth
Ave., N. Y. The units, such as seen above, are being built by Mivtach-Oz
Housing Corp., AMEIC subsidiary, in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, Haifa, Bnei
Beak, Ramat Yitzellak, Nathanya, Rechovoth and Herzliali. AMEIC,
under auspices of Mizrachi Organization of America, also ships machin-
ery, tools and foodstufTs to help "build Eretz Israel in the spirit of
traditional Judaism."

Abba Hillel Silver, who stated
that this confusion had been ag-
gravated "by the failure of the
government of Israel to define
and make for the movement its
specific responsibilities in the
field of fund-raising, immigration
and settlement."
Silver told the convention that
"American Jews were beginning
to walk away from an organiza-
tion which has no serious role to
play in fund-raising for Israel,
since the government of Israel
has clearly indicated its prefer-
ence for non-Zionist control over
fund-raising in the United
States."
Louis Lipsky warned that un-
less a unified Zionist organiza-
tion were set up within a unified
Jewish community, "there would
ensue a demoralization out of
which will come the reduction
