When Mrs. Sidney Fishman and Mrs. Morris Fishman met their brother on his arrival it was the first time they had seen him since they left David Horodok, their native city. in 1922. Lansky, himself, left David Horodok five years later and settled in Palestine. The only dull note in the reunion was the absence of their parents, Cantor and Mrs. Shmarya Lan- sky. w49,were killed by the Na- zis in 1940. For 20 of his 25 years in Pales- tine. Lansky has lived in Haifa. He is married and the father of a daughter, 12, and a son, 6. He is employed as chief accountant for the flistadrut of Haifa. Prior to his visit here. he stopped in New York to greet two other sisters. There is an- other brother in Israel. His sis- ters here are married to the Fishman brothers, owners of the Market Basket, who live on Webb Ave. Asked how long Israel would have to receive aid from the Allied Jewish Campaign, bond drive and the U. S. Govern- ment, Lansky estimated it would take between seven and 10 years before the new state becomes economically stable— and that is providing there is no further immigration. He said, however. that if aid is stopped, the people of Israel "will pull their belts a little tighter, decrease their standard of living, but will go on living and making efforts to build and strengthen their country." He added that he can't imagine American Jewry ever letting Is- most Israelis) that it is not only right but expedient for Israel to obtain payments from Germany. "Financial repay- ment," he emphasizes, "can never make us forget the moral debt owed to all Jewry." "While the air is filled with speculation." said Lansky, "you can feel assured that the Ger- mans are just as anxious to settle the reparations debt as are the Israelis." He believes some compromise figure between the $1,500,000,000 proposed by Israel and the $750,000,000 of- fered by Germany will be ac- cepted as the final settlement. Lansky expects to remain here for about a month with his sisters before returning to his family in Haifa. —A resolution approving the ac- tion of the Israel government and the Conference on Jewish Claims Against Germany "re- garding restitution for Jewish property confiscated by t h e Nazis and for which the entire German people bears responsi- bility," was adopted at the 65th national convention of Brith Abraham, Jewish fraternal order. Other resolutions called upon the democratic and Republican parties to adopt in their plat- forms at the coming national conventions a "civil rights" pro- gram. The delegates took a strong stand against Communism and other forms of totalitarianism; called for effective anti-lynch- ing legislation; opposed the Mc- Carran-Walter immigration bill and asked President Truman to veto it and urged the U.S. to ratify the United Nations Con- vention on Genocide. In a resolution on Israel, the convention called upon Ameri- can Jews "to give the fullest moral and economic support" to the Jewish state. It criticized the American Council for Juda- ism for its opposition to the Is- rael bond drive. vision Programs of Jewish Interest • • • MESSAGE OF ISRAEL Time: 10 a.m., Sunday, Ju 15. Station: WXYZ.
