10 Jews Serve as Congressmen

By Charlotte Weber

(Copyright, 1949, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)

WASHINGTON—The 81st Con-
gress can boast an unusually
large number \ of Jewish mem-
bers—the largest number in many
years.
At present there are 10 Jewish
members of the House. For the
past few years the list has hovered
around seven members. All are
Democrats with the exception of
Jacob Javits, New York Repub-
lican who survived the Demo- .
cratic sweep in a normally Demo-
cratic district. '
The list of 10 might even be
swelled to 11 if Louis B. Heller,
a former New York State Senator
recently nominatea to run for the
office made vacant by the death
of Rep. John J. Delaney, makes
a successful bid for the post.
Promising to play active' roles
in the 81st Congress are four
new . members--Ribicoff of Con-
necticut; Dollinger of New York;
Yates of Illinois and Chudoff of
-
Pennsylvania.
Ribicoff, Dollinger and Yates
Judge Abraham A. Ribicoff was
voted "the most able- legislator
in the Connecticut Assembly" by
newsmen who had covered him
during his two terms in the state
capitol. Born in New Britain,
Conn., 39 years" ago, he had come
to the legislature by way of the
University of Chicago Law School
from which he was graduated
cum laude in 1933.
For freshman Congressman,
Rep. Ribicoff has pulled himself
a plum in the way of an assign-
ment. to the House Foreign Ai-
fairs Committee.
Rep. Isadore Dollinger suc-
ceeded to the office . held by Rep.
Leo Isacson. He comes to the
House with a solid backing of
legislative experience acquired
during his eight years in the
New York State Assembly and
four years as a New York State
Senator.
From Illinois has come Rep.
Sidney Yates, a former assistant

vLADutvg moRowirz

attorney general under Gov:
Henry Homer from 1935 to 1937,
and a member of the Illinois
Commerce Commission. Active in
Jewish communal affairs, a big 1G
basketball star, a practicing at-.
torney since 1933 and with a
stretch in the Navy behind him,
the 39-year-old Yates replaced
the former Democratic candidate
just two months before the elec-
tion. Despite what would seem
to be an insurmountable political
obstacle, he won the election
18,000 votes ahead of his op-
ponent.
The Re-elected Congressmen
Returning for his second term
as a seasoned legislator is Rep.
"Jack" Javits, the New York Re-.
publican who bucked the Demo-
cratic land-slide to win the elec-
tion over his Democratic op--
ponent, Mayor. O'Dwyer's brother.
Also returning for his second
term is Rep. Abraham J. Multer,
New York Democrat who has
staunchly defended Israel in many
speeches in the' House.
A veteran of 'eight scrappy
years of service in the House is
Rep.. Arthur G. Klein of New.
York, author of a number of dis-
placed persons bills, of measures
designed to implement the report
of the President's Committee on
Civil Rights, and, bitter critic of .
Britain's policies in Palestine.
Dean of the House, 83-year-
old Rep. Adolph Sabath of Illi-
nois, will once again head the
powerful House Rules Commit-
-tee. .Rep. Emanuel Celler, who
in 27 years has always been found„
leading the fight for more liberal
immigration measures, for justice
for Palestine, heads the Judiciary
Committee that will handle im-
migration .m a t t e r s. Rep. Sol
Bloom, chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, has
played an important and active
role in the conduct of American
foreign relations outside of his
Congressional role.
