THE JEWISH NEWS-7 Friday, January 28, 1949 Dr. Leopold Neuhaus Of Gemiluth Chasoditn Reaches 70 Mark Canadian Committee Clarifies 'Oliver Twist' Controversy with Time In a statement issued by the Joint Publications Committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress and Bnai Brith, Time and Life magazine reports on the Canadian British movie "Oliver Twist" were labeled as "misleading and, in crucial respects, totally false." Rabbi Abraham L. Feinberg of Holy Blossom Temple, Toronto, chairman of the committee, has outlined an extensive correspond- ence with the editors of Time. The committee had asked for a retraction of the Time,-Life story which misrepresented the Con- gress' view on the film. Lengthy negotiations ended in a letter from James Linen, Time publisher, advising that further .discussion of the issue would be "unsatisfactory; if not unwise." The Congress-Bnai Brith state- ment declared that no public pro- test was made against the film, which was premiered in Toronto, to avoid sensationalism, but that the committee had contacted the .. Toronto office of J. Arthur Rank, the film's producer, protesting the showing. Public statements condemning the film for its anti-Semitic por- trayal. of Fagin, have been ef- DR.
