make national problems part of
their local responsibilities, 150

ference of the East Central Re-
gion of the Council of Jewish

Detroit Speaker
Julian Krolik of Detroit was
among the leading speakers.
Krolik, as discussion leader

meet its total responsibilities,
both overseas and at home. He
told the delegates they must be-
gin to think in terms of long
range planning.
Calling for a "genuine working
partnership" between national
agencies and Jewish communi-
ties in meeting AmeriCan Jew-
ry's total repsonsibilities, Free-
