State Zionist Region Endorses Frisch;
Controversy Rages on ZOA Presidency
Morris Jacobs, 'president of the
Michigan Zionist Region, in a
telegraphic . message to The Jew-
ish News on Monday morning ;
made known the decision of the
executive committee of the re-
gion, on Sunday, to support Dan-
iel Frisch of Indianapolis for the
presidency of the Zionist Organ-
ization of America. The text of
the resolution as incorporated in
the 6elegram reads:
"Whereas, the executive board of
the Michigan Zionist Region, meeting
at Grand Rapids, 'noted that Zionists
throughout the country have called
- upon Daniel Frisch to acctpt the nom-
ination for the presidency of the Zion-
ist Organization of America, and
"Whereas Daniel Frisch is deserving,
of this call to the highest office in the
ZOA because of his loyalty and devo-
tion to the Zionist movement and be-
cause of his vision and ability to meet
new,problems and to adopt new prob-
lems, to further our movement in the
light of new situations created by the
establishment of the'-Jewish State, and
"Whereas Daniel Frisch has made
his w ay from the rank and tile. of
Zionist membership to his present high
position in the Zionist movement and
is steeped in Jewish culture and tra-
dition and known to the masses of
American Jewry for his prolific art-
cies and numerous public addresses in
:Yiddish and in English, and
"Whereas Daniel Frisch is equally
well known to the people of I,srael
who,se language he speaks fluently and
in Whose behalf he has labored ardu-
ously; now. therefore,
"Be _ • Resolved that the Executive
Board of the Michigan Zionist Region,
meeting this day, March 27, in Grand
Rapids, representing a membership of
more than 6,000 enrolled Zionists, en-
dorses the candidacy of Daniel Frisch
for the ZOA presidency and calls upon
the 52nd annual convention to elect
him unanimously to that office."

"Pageantry of Musical Memo-
ries," Tuesday evening, April 5,
made by The Detroit Jewish
News that Judge Simon Rifkind
shOuld be called upon to accept
the ZOA presidency is gaining
momentum and has received sup-
port from many quarters. Other
candidates have been mentioned
for the ZOA presidency, and ,
while Mr. Frisch has received
endorsemerits in Chicago, New
York and New Jersey, in ad i-
tion to the action of the Michigan
Zionist Region's Executive Com-
mittee, there is far from unan-
imity on the proposal made pub-
lic by Mr. Jacobs.
Criticism is being hurled at the
present ZOA leadership for hav-
ing set a date for the forthcom-
ing convention five weeks earlier
than usual. The ZOA's action is
branded by the Committee for
Progressive Zionism as "harmful
to the $250,000,000 UJA cam-
paign" because many Zionist
leaders will be critically needed
to stimulate campaigns in their
communities. The CPZ proposes
a nine-point -program calling for:
1. Repudiation of the present
ZOA leadership; 2. an end to the
present partisan tendencies of the
ZOA administration; 3. endorse-
ment of liberal thinking on social
and economic-- problems; 4. to
bring pro-Zionist Amepican Jew-
ish community directly into Zion--
ist life; 5. re-establishment of
friendly relations between ZOA
administration and authorities in
Washington; 6. columns of ZOA
publications to be opened to all
members regardless of their atti-
tudes; 7. convention issues to be
discussed freely by regions and
distizicts; 8. free and open dis-
cussion to be re-introduced at
conventions; 9. closed ballot to be
re-introduced at next convention.
Responding to requests from
Zionist Districts all over the coun-
try, the Committee for Progres-
sive Zionism within the ZOA an-
nounced that it has called a
nominating convention at the
Hotel Commodore on April 17
which will select a slate of of-
ficers to be presented at the ZOA
convention on May 28.
