SOUTH FALLSBURG, N.Y.-
Rabbi Irving Miller, president of

the American Jewish Congress,
took issue Monday with those
"who deny there is a future for
Jewish life in America" and
called upon American Jewry to
build "integrated Jewish com-
munities which will provide the
Jewish people with institutions
and ideals to insure Jewish sur-
vival."
Rabbi Miller addressed the
three-day convention of Inde-
pendent Order Brith Abraham.
He denied that in order to be
a good Jew one must go to Is-
rael." He emphasized that there
is "no inconsistency between
loyalty to America and its
g r eat democratic institutions
and relationship to Israel which
is based upon the historic and
religious identification of the
land with the Jewish people."
The great . need today for
American Jews, stated Rabbi
Miller, is to provide the ration-
ale for creative Jewish living in
America.

Ben-Gurion Blames U.S.

For UN Huleh Verdict

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — T h e
United States bears the greatest
part of the responsibility for
the United Nations Security
Council's resolution ordering Is-
rael to cease drainage operations
in the disputed Huleh swamp
area, Premier David Ben-Gur-
ion declared at the first press
conference since his return from
the United States. He blamed
the action on America's "un-
justified" conciliatory p o l i c y
toward the Arabs.
Commenting on the Zionist
movement, particularly in the
U.S., Ben-Gurion said the move-
ment could be strengthened
provided members devote them-
selves to "more constructive up-
building of Israel," rather than
to "indulgance in party differ-
ences in Israel."
The Premier was given the
"freedom of the city" of Jeru-
salem as Mayor S. Z. Shragai
lauded his contribution to mak-
ing Jerusalem the capital of
Israel.
