WASHINGTON, D. C.—The special 63-man Bnai .Brith
committee unanimously voted against joining the Ameri-
can Jewish Assembly.
In a two-day closed meeting, the committee, which
Was established at last May's convention, decided that the
plan to organize a permanent Assembly would postpone
rather than achieve Jewish unity. The unanimous reso-
lution emphasized the lack of agreement among major
national Jewish organizations regarding the Nsembly.
The resolution expressed the hope for a basis of agree-
ment among Jewish agencies on "a consultative body that
will provide an outlet for common action in the interest
of Jewry. Bnai Brith is determined to continue its search
with all who share this view for means that will achieve
this end."
(The American Jewish Committee and the Council
of Federations and Welfare Funds are on record op-
posing the establishment of the American Jewish ASsemb-
ly as an over-all body to speak for the Jews of America.)'
