Reform Rabbis Berate 'Make-Believe
Goodwill,' Religious School State Aid

B RE TTON WOODS, N.H. the auspices of the national con-

(JTA)—The inclusion of Jerusa-
lem within the boundaries of Is-
rael was asked by the Central
Conference of American Rabbis
in a resolution adopted follow-
ing the report of its Commission
on Justice and Peace to its 60th
anniversary convention.
The Reform Rabbis urged that
"Jerusalem should be incorpor-
atedi with the boundaries of Is-
rael where it belongs by virtue
of history and population." They
rejected the suggestion of some
that Jerusalem be inter-
nationalized and expressed con-
fidence that under an Israeli
administration the "Holy Places
will enjoy peace and security."
The conference also went on
record in opposition. to "Federal
or state aid to educational in-
, stitutions maintained by reli-
gious groups, Jewish or Chris-
tian." The action was taken fol-
lowing the report of its Com-
mittee on Church and State,
headed by Dr-. Joseph L. Fink of
Buffalo. Dr. Fink said that the
problem of separation of church
and state "is growing in vehe-
mence as well as in interest.
There are signs that the people
of America are becoming in-
creasingly aware of the far-
reaching implications of the is-
sue." The report expressed "ab-
solute devotion to the principles
of religious freedom in America
and an unbreachable wall of
separation between church and
_
state."
In the annual conference lec-
ture, Rabbi Abram M. Granison
of New York, assistant to the
president of the Jewish Institute
of Religion, attacked both the
National Conference of Chris-
tians and Jews and the Council
of Judaism, declaring that Jew-
ish support of both of them is an
evidence of Jewish group infer-
iority complex. Rabbi Granison
said that Jewish dignity should
demand "something more from
the good will movement than
the make-believe brotherhood,
at which Jews rub elbows with
Christians at round-tables under

construction of a large resort
hotel. Other industries repre-
sented in the list are pharma-
ceuticals, food, rayon, cosmetics,
glass, sanitary ware and wear-
ing appeal.
The general soundess of the
projects has been checked by
experts of the . Economic Depart-
ment in New York and in Jeru-
salem, according to Robert R.
Nathan, director. They were se-
lected from more than 1,500 in-
quiries and proposals concern-

ties which have reached the de-
partment's desk in the last three

U. S. 'Considers' Nazi
Seizure of Greek bold

NEW YORK (JTA) — The
World Jewish Congress has been
advised by the State Department
that. its request for the restora-
tion of gold seized by the Nazis
from the Jewish community of
Greece • has been taken under
consideration. WJC is acting in
the matter at the request of the
Central Board of Jewish Com-
munities of Greece. A total of
$6,000,000 in gold was seized
from Greek Jews who were sub-
sequently murdered in German
death camps. The Greek Gov-
ernment. has notified the Cen-
tral Board of Jewish Communi-
ties that if the gold were re-
tiarned to Greece, the Greek
Government would pay. t he
equivalent in GrePlc currency to
the Central Board.

ference 'of several Christians and
a few Jews—just to get some
sweet nothings inerthe form of
pious and innocuous platitudes."
Rabbi Harry Essrig of Grand
Rapids, in a paper entitled "Jew-
ish Religious Liberalism in the
World of Tomorrow," told the
rabbis that they must exploit
"the new and more challenging
techniques of congregational
forums, group discussions, panels
and symposia immediately after
religious services."
"The development of such
new techniques," he maintained,
would result in liberation "from
our complete dependence upon
pulpit oratory.
"We might come to have a
broader view of the rabbi's func-
tion, not as an ecclesiastic mon-
opolizing the keys to salvation
or a religious functionary con-
venient to have around," ne
said, "but we would come to see
the rabbi as a creative thinker
who helps mold a community of
individuals in their way of
thinking and living."

Littky Named Leader
Of BB Tikvah Lodge

Deny Israel Loan Cancellation .

.

WASHINGTON — (JTA) — A ment and materials for housing,

spokesman for the Export-Im-
port Bank denied a London re-
port that the Bank would can-
Max Littky, 18237 Littlefield, cel further withdrawals from its
was elected president of Bnai loan to Israel because of Amer-
Brith Tikvah Lodge for 1949-50 ican displeasure at Israel over
the Arab refugee question:
He succeeds Louis E. Barden.
He said there was absolutely
no foundation to stories that the
Bank would withhold the re-
maining $49,000,000 of the $100,-
000,000 loan. He added that the
Bank considered itself to be
under firm commitment and
that the remainder of the loan
has already been earmarked and
will be made available to Israel
as previously agreed. The loan
was negotiated for the purchase
in the United States of equip-

agricultural, and industrial de-
velopment in Israel.
A spokesman for the State
Department declared that un-
justified criticism was directed
at the American consular serv-
ice in Jerusalem by Mayor Stan-
ley W. Church of New Rochelle,
N. Y., when the latter said that
he and 11 other non-Jews on a
study tour of Israel were refused
permission to enter the Old City
of Jerusalem. The Department
said that all possible action has
been taken by the consulate to
facilitate visits to the Holy City
but that such traffic was made
difficult by the many restric-
tions imposed by both Arab and
'Jewish authorities.
