Our Letter Box
Charlie Wolok Attacks
Our Stand on UJA, UPA
Editor, The Jewish News:
I was astounded at the errors
and unwise conclusions of your
last two editorials on the recent
Morgenthau - Silver controversy
within the United Jewish Appeal.
Your editorial leaves the impli-
cation that it was Dr. Silver and
Dr. Neumann who defied the rul-
ings of what you incorrectly call
"the supreme authority in the
Zionist movement," namely, the
Jewish Agency.
It was rather Mr. Morgenthau
who scorned the proposal of the
Jewish Agency when it attempted
to compromise the quarrel by a
decision that both Mr. Morgen-
thau and Mr. Montor should re-
sume the leadership of the UJA,
but with certain limitations.
Mr. Morgenthau rejected the
decision of the Agency reached
by unanimous vote and demanded
absolute control; Mr. Morgenthau
wired Dr. Silver, who was sin-
cerely seeking to end the dispute
with a compromise solution, that
he need not bother flying to Flor-
ida to discuss the matter with
him since discussion would be
useless.
You plead for Jewish leader-
ship "to abandon strife and to
yield to the will of the majority";
yet, you did not take Mr. Mor-
genthau to task for scorning the
unanimous, not just the majority,
vote of the body you label the
supreme authority in Zionism.
Reading your columns, one
would hardly be aware of, the
fact that the conflict in the UJA
was precipitated by Henry Mon-
tor, a paid administrator, when
he resigned from the UPA after
a series of wild charges which
were deplored by the Agency and
which Mr. Montor abjectly admit-
ted in a subsequent statement
were unwarranted.
You failed to point out that the
Agency, after being slapped in
the face by Mr. Morgenthau,
turned the other cheek and called
a meeting of the UPA board with-
out any authority; nor did you
point out that undue pressure was
exerted on this board, faced with
a threat of complete collapse of
the UJA, to accept Mr. Morgen-
thau and Mr. Montor.
You led your readers to believe
that Dr. Silver and Dr. Neumann
are .men who rule the Zionist
Organization arbitrarily and with
no recourse to democratic pro-
cesses when the direct opposite
is true. Both leaders, as you well
know, are men elected to their
positions by democratic vote.
Moreover, Dr. Neumann, as re-
cently as Feb. 13, received the
overwhelming vote of confidence
of over 500 local Zionist leaders
from every section of the country.
Sincerely yours,
Charlie Wolok,
7338 Woodward.

UJA Receives $250,000
Front Garment Union
16—THE JEWISH NEWS
Friday, March 18, 1949
NEW YORK, (JTA)--A check
for $250,000 was presented to the
United Jewish Appeal by David
Dubinsky, president of the Inter-
national Ladies Garment Work-
ers' Union, on behalf of his organ-
ization. The contribution exceeds
the union's 1948 gift to the UJA
by $100,000. Dubinsky also an-
nounced that his union had lent
$500,000 to the Jewish Agency.
The $250,000 check was 'turned
over by Dubinsky to Henry Mor-
genthau, Jr., general chairman of
the national UJA campaign, and
to Monroe Goldwater, president
of the UJA of Greater New York,
at a ceremony in the union's hall.
Accepting the contribution, Mor-
genthau and Goldwater empha-
sized that it represented the larg-
est individual gift ever made by
a union to a philanthropic organ-
ization.
