Blanstein Tells AJ Committee. Parley,
‘Witchhunt' Lowers U.- S. Prestige;
Oka-vs-Direct Dealings with Germany
NEW YORK, (ASP) - In-
tolerance toward differing opin-
ions coupled with the "reckless
witchhunt for 'subversive' ma-
terial in school text books" were
cited by Jacob Blaustein, presi-
dent of the American Jewish
Committee, as endangering the
unity of the American people
and lowering the nation's pres-
tige in international affairs.
Addressing 500 Jewish com-
munal leaders attending t h e
AJC's 45th annual meeting here,
Blaustein • asserted that unity
could be attained "by permitting
free and full expression of dif-
ferent opinions and beliefs."
"America must reverse this
alarming drift toward rigid con-
formism, if American liberties
and freedoms are not to be sunk
under a welter of mutual dis-
trust; suspicions and hatreds."
Hitting smear tactics in
Washington, Blaustein told dele-
gates that the "indiscriminate
accusations of disloyalty leveled
at government employees, the
unbridled slander of character,
the epidemic of loyalty oaths in
universities, and even in areas
which cannot possibly be termed
sensitive or vital to our security,
serve only to sacrifice honest
speaking, honest thinking and
honest teaching on the altar of
unreasoning fear."
are at present in the United
States approximately 300 such
organizations, coping with prob-
lems which in their aggravated
forms result in situations such
as those in Cicero, Ill., and
Florida.
Prof. Herman A. Gray, chair-
man of the foreign affairs com-
mittee, told delegates that the
signal failure of the United Na-
tions to adopt a- human rights
covenant is a bitter blow to the
hopes of the people of the world,
who have -put their faith in the
UN.
Zacharlah ShuStet, director of
Committee headquarters in
Paris, surveying the European
scene; said that if German
democracy is to be furthered at
this crucial period, the diverse
and scattered democratic groups
in Germany "must be consoli-
dated into a central movement
whose primary aim would be the
promotion of the democratic
spirit among the German pec-
ple."
The Committee will increase
substantially its co - operation
with the Jewish communities of
Latin American countries, "to
help them develop their spiritual
and cultural life," Dr. Simon
Segal, director of AJC's foreign
affairs department, r e p o r t e d.
Dr. Segal just returned from a
six-week tour of Latin America.

Committee Favors Reparations;
Warns of Forgetting CrimeS
The Cominittee adopted a re-
solution endorsing the decision:
of the Conference on Jewish
Material Claims Against G e r-
many to reach a settlement on
these claims. However, the re-
solution emphasized that "no
financial settlement can redreis
or atone for the unspeakable
horrors the . Nazis perpetrated
upon the JewS."
"German moral responsibil-
ity," the resolution declared, "is
not subject to 'negotiation.' The
fundamental issue concerning
Germany is not a financial set--
tlement of material claims but
the very political and social
character of that country and
its relations with the rest of the
world."
Jacob Blaustein was re-elected
president of the Committee for
a fourth term. In his presiden-
tial address he emphasized that
while the Committee has no ob-
jection to Isrf-!,.1's granting a
special status to the Jewish
Agency for work in Israel, it
would strongly object to the
granting of any diplomatic sta-
tus to the Agency.
Assailing extremist views of._
such shocking incidents as the
Cicero riots and the Miami
bombings, he declared that "we
must take a realistic perspective
on these incidents. The people
who declare that these out-
breaks signify nothing , but iso-
lated and bigoted _eruptions of
local , feeling on the part of a
tiny segment of the American
people a r e as unrealistic as
