Rabbi Silver Reverses Stand to Back
Truman's Shelving of MacArthur

NEW YORK—(AJP)—An out-
spoken critic of the Truman
administration, Rabbi Abba Hil-
lel Silver reversed his stand and
supported Truman's action in
recalling Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur from his post as Com-
mander in Chief of American
Forces in the Far East, at a
farewell luncheon tendered the
former ZOA president on the eve
of his departure for Israel.
Silver, a severe critic of Tru-
man's policy in Korea, disclosed
that he had asked Congressman
John McCormick, m.a j o r i t y
House leader, to inform Presi-
dent Truman that "his enemy,
the blackguard Republiitan" was
"sincerely grateful" for the ac-
tion take in MacArthur's shelv-
ing. Later Congressman Mc-
Cormick informed Silver that
President Truman was "pleased"
and "grateful" for the message.
President Truman, said Silver,
was "completely right" in recall-
ing MacArthur. In taking the
controversial step, the rabbi
added, the president made "a
decisive contribution to Ameri-
can democracy in the present
crisis."

Receives Enthusiastic
Welcome in Israel
TEL AVIV — (JTA) — General
Zionist delegations from all over
Israel greeted Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver at the Lydda airport. The
Maccabi brass band played the
Israel national anthem when
the American Zionist leader
stepped from the airplane.
Dr. Silver was met • by Dr.
Peretz Bernstein, president of
the General Zionist Party of
Israel, and by a representative
of Mayor Israel Rokach, who
himself could not be at the air-
port because he is convalescing
in Galilee. Visibly moved by the
enthusiastic reception, Dr. Silver
said he came to Israel after an
absence of more than two years
to renew contact with the peo-
ple and to stress American Jew-
ry's unshakeable support of Is-
rael's• development.
Preteded by a mounted guard
of honor, Dr. Silver left the air-
port in a motorcade which drove
through Petach Tikvah and Ra-
mat Gan, where special cere-
monies awaited the guest. The
parade later proceeded along
Tel Aviv's main streets lined
with cheering crowds and halted
at -the Second of November
Square where a group of chil-
dren presented Dr. Silver with
flowers in behalf of the youth
of Tel Aviv.

his address outside the building
over loud speakers.
Dr. Silver, who was repeatedly
cheered during - his speech, said
that a strong Zionist organiza-
tion abroad is essential at least
for one more generation. He
urged' the Israel Government to
weigh its attitude towards the
Zionist movement and carefully
reconsider its position before
concentrating in its hand such
activities which should remain
under the jurisdiction of Zionist
bodies. "If t h e forthcoming
World Zionist Congress is not
left free to decide its own policy,
it will not be worth convening,"
he stated.

Baseball Erasing Race
Barriers, Greenberg Says

DENVER—(AJP) .—Hammering
Hank Greenberg says that today
baseball is setting a fine ex-
ample for all Americans in
breaking down barriers between
people of diverse origins.
Greenberg, now vice president
and general manager of the
Cleveland Indians, expressed
that view in an interview with
Robert Gamzey, editor of the
Denver Intermountain Jewish
News.
The one-time star righthand
Slugger is helping in that direc-
tion himself by pioneering in
the American League with three
Larry Dobb and Harry Simpson,
plus Al Rosen, the brilliant Jew-
ish third baseman,. who was last
season's leading home-run hitter
in the American League with 37
four baggers.
War veteran Greenberg cred-
ited the war in which "men
fought side by side and got to
know and respect each other"
for the dramatic change in the
"Today fans and players alike
realize that all nationalities can
play together," Greenberg said,
patterns of baseball.
"People are getting to accept
each other as individuals."

Black Jews Get Passover Food

Students Protest Ban
Of Max Lerner
On College Campus

MADISON, Wis., (AJP)

—

Withdrawal of an invitation to
Max Lerner famous Jewish col-
umnist, to lecture at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin on charges
of Communist Party member-
ship brought a prompt denial
from Lerner and vows by un-
dergraduate leaders they would
hear the columnist anyway.
Lerner, who is on the faculty
of Brandeis University, was
scheduled• to speak at a uni-
versity memorial forum.
According to the Daily Card-
inal, student newspaper, Dr.
Edgar S. Gordon, chairman of
a faculty committee, said that
the committee had withdrawn
•the invitation on the "advice of
many people".
Prof. Gordon was quoted as
having been told that Lerner
Was a Communist in 1938. He
did not identify the source of
his information.
Lerner, now busy with speak-
ing arrangements for the United
Jewish Appeal and other Jewish
causes, wired the student paper
that the charge was false; that
the faculty committee could but
possibly have documentary proof
of the charge "for the simple
and satisfactory reason that I
have not been and never could
be" a member of the party.
The student paper reported
that some undergraduates were
pushing plans to collect Lerner's
fee from the students and book
him without faculty approval.
John Searle, president of the
student board, said that war
tensions should not be allowed
to stifle "intellectual freedom"
on the campus.

—American Jewish Press
Hearing of the plight of Harlem's Falasha Jews, many of whom
found themselves without adequate Passover foods, a Negro news-
paper conducted a special brotherhood drive to obtain holiday
foods through a "Basket for Passover" project. Here Rabbi
Matthews, of the Falasha Community, receives matzos from D.
Beryl Manischewitz. Looking on are V. P. Bourne-Vanneck, pub-
lisher of the New York Age, which sponsored the food drive, and
Mordecai Danzis, editor of a Yiddish daily.
