ED SULLIVAN, nationally-syndicated columnist (left),.
BENJAMIN G. BROWDY,4new president of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America (center) , and DAN TROTSKY, presi-
dent of the Roosevelt School at Hyde Park, discuss plans for
the ZOA's first annual pageant "Salute to Israel," at Madison
Square Garden on May 11. Sullivan and Trotsky are co-chair-
men of the ZOA event, which commemorates the first an-
niversary of Israel's admission to the United Nations.
The program will be dedicated to the memory of the late
ZOA president, Daniel Frisch.
At the meeting of the ZOA national administrative coun-
cil, oil Sunday, in New York, Browdy was unanimously elected
president of the ZOA to complete the unexpired term of Mr.
Frisch. It is believed that the annual convention of the ZOA,
usually held in July, will be advanced, possibly to May.
Browdy, in his speech of acceptance, promised to continue
a policy of harmony and cooperation by consulting Dr. Abba
Hillel Silver and Emanuel Neumann, as well as Louis Lipsky.
It is believed in some quarters that Dr. Israel Goldstein,
Rudolf G. Sonneborn, chairman of the administrative council,
_ Ezra Shapiro of Cleveland and Emanuel Neumann are being
considered for the ZOA presidency.
It also was announced that the new ZOA House in Jeru-
salem wil be named the Daniel Frisch House, in memory of the
late ZOA president.

overflowing the auditorium of .

' on Sunday evening acclaimed
-the announcement made by the
:Histadrut Israel campaign chair-
man, Morris Lieberman, who
:presided, that $230,000 was

7. While this sum represents a
. decline as _compared with. last
_year's total of $270,000, the feel-
ing in Histadrut . circles is that
the result in the 1950 solicita-
tions was good, considering a
temporary downward trend in
fund-raising.
Mr. Lieberman expressed
thanks to his co-workers and
expressed the hope that this
community will continue to sup-
port the great work of Hista-
drut which stands in the fore-
front of Israel's reconstruction
efforts.
Mrs Altman Lauded
Harry Schumer, who opened
the meeting, called upon the
gathering to re-dedicate itself
•to the work in behalf of Israel
and stated that even if the quo-
' ta had been doubled it would
not have been sufficient to care
for all of labor's needs in state-
building.
Louis Levin, chairman of the
organizations' division, spoke
briefly and expressed special
thanks for her cooperation over
her radio hours to Mrs. Hyman
• Altman, who was given an ova-
* tion by the gathering.

The musical program which
brought forth prolonged ap-
plause and many demands for
encores featured the Music
study Club Chorus, directed
by Dan Frohman, with Rose
Bassin Stein as accompanist;
and the Israeli artists.; the flu-
tist Hillel Rabinadov and his
wife, Aviva, who interpreted
the selections and joined in

, flute which he had made from
a reed in Israel.

Zionism Does Not End

Speaking in Yiddish, Rabbi
Adler declared that "a work that
can be ended is not an ideal"
and that Zionism is an ideal
that does not end. Asserting that
numerous difficulties still stand
in the way of Israel's recon-
struction, he said that Jews in
the Diaspora are ambassadors
without portfolios for the new
state; that "we are Jews and
Americans" and that non-Jews
must recognize the value of
work for Israel because only
through the Jewish state can
democracy be brought to that
part of the world. He admon-
ished the gathering that "we
must continue to serve as Isra-
el's interpreters to the outside
world."
