Labor Committee Criticizs ‘Yahudim'
Forms Own Body for 300th Anniversary

NEW YORK, (JTA ► — The
Jewish L a b o r Committee an-1
nounced the estal?lishment of
a commission to celebrate the
300th anniversary of Jewish life
in America. "We will especially
emphasize the role which the
mass immigration of Jews played
in the development of our coun-
try and of our Jewish corn-
munit y," the announcement
said.
"Those days have passed when
only certain groups, t h e so-
called `Yahudim' could act as
the spokesman of the Jewisfh
people," the statement s a i d.
"The mass of the Jewish people,
the army of workers and creat-
ors, has come of age and in-
fluences and molds the fate of
our people. This fact is bound

to play an ever more significant
role in the life of the Jewish
people in America, as well as
in the life of the Jewish people
throughout the world."
T h e statement accentuated
the role played by the Jewish
trade union movement, which
the immigrants had built and
which had zontributed materi-
ally to the creation of a vital
general trade union movement
in the country. Declaring that
"the immigrants and their sons
and daughters of the first, sec-
ond and third generations had
helped to build throughout the
United States the great indus-
tries that have helped to make
us rich and powerful," t h e
statement also pointed out the
Jewish contributions to science,
culture and the movement for
human rights.

He denied that "all Americans of

Clark Eichelberger. executive
director of the American Associa-

appeared before the foreign re-

he supported the proposed plank

A slashing attack was made
before the committee by Merwin
K. Hart, head of the National
Economic Council. He assailed
U. S. foreign policy as ill-con-
ceived and haphazard because,
he asserted, it aided Russia, in-
sulted Spain and "stirred up
civil war in Israel and 800,000
Arabs, previously friendly to us,
have been driven out."
He asserted that the United
States was on the wrong side in
the Palestine dispute and com-
plained that America had loan-
ed a hundred million dollars to
Israel. He also denounced the

Israel's Taxicab
Strike Cancelled

TEL AVIV—The "strike" of
Israel's t a xi ca b drivers with
which they had paralyzed virtu-
ally all vehicular traffic by tak-
ing their compulsory two-day
"idle" period on Friday and
Saturday wag called off Tues-
day following the intervention
of the Histadrut.
The cab drivers "idle" period
had coincided with the sabbath
driving ban for all other private
vehicles and had favored most
Israelis to remain close to home
on their free day. With this
pressure the cab drivers had
hoped to force the government
to permit their operation st.it
days a week rather than five.
The "strike" was abandoned
when the Histadrut warned that
failure to comply with its sug-
gestion would mean ousting
from the labor federation. Taxis
actually moved last on Tel
Aviv's s t re e t s last Saturday
after temporary agreements had
been reached between cab driv-
ers and the police.
The Communist newspaper
"Kol Haam" was ordered to close
for one week for violating cen-
sorship regulations. The deci-
sion was taken by a public com-
mittee composed of representa-
tives of the army, journalists
and the government.

Congress Shelves Truman
Immigration Proposals

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Con-
gress buried in committee two
measures which would have
helped take the sting out of
passage of the McCarran-Walt-

trdduced by Sen. Herbert H.
Lehman in the name of a doz-
en associates, calling for estab-
lishment of a bipartisan com-
mission to study American im-
migration and nationality legis-
lation as recommended„by Presi-

have implemented President

Christian Editor Appeals to Readers
To Ignore Bigoted Campaign Lies

In a bitter diatribe against
the machinations of groups
which are using the current
presidential campaign to spread
the poison of prejudice, the
Alpena News editorially lashed
out specifically at the Williams
Intelligence Summary.
A copy of the Summary, which
reached its editor's desk in its
lead article contains the admon-
ition to delegates to nominate a
candidate "whose life has been
devoted to Anglo-Saxon tradi-
tions and Christian Concepts."
It also attacks Bernard Baruch,
the World Zionist Organization,
Marxists, Bnai Brith, Commun-
ists and other alleged subver-
sive backers of Eisenhower, the
editorial states.
The editorial continues, "The
Summary is an ekposition of
false thinking, misinformation,
benighted intolerance and big-
otry that we thought had died
out with the exposure of the
alleged Zionist conspiracy on
which. Henry Ford I was hood-
winked a generation ago. Next
thing we know the Klan and
the Silver Shirters may be re-
mobilized for the purpose of this
campaign."

Suppose this nazi character
me that if I continued frie
ship with Sam I would be un
suspicion, that bad things wo
happen to me.
"How much weight wo
such a detractor of Sam Isa
son carry with me?
"None."

The editor lauds the cha
actor of his friend Sam Isac
son, commending him f
building his small shoe re
shop into a row of stores
the main street, saying that
was done "by his own effort
free America. Meanwhile,
has reared and educated
substantial family, which
a credit to their parentage a
the Nation."

In concluding his attack,
Alpena editor asks, "In the
of High Heaven let - us keep
presidential campaign free
warped thinking and appea
racial and religious intolera
as suggested in such things
this 'Williams Intelligence S
mart'.'
"Let us keep free of the 1
tice fringe, political and ot
wise."

The Alpena paper scoffs at
a picture of Bernard Baruch
with Eisenhower and the char-
acterization of Baruch as an
"old Roosevelt backer who did
so much to push America into
the war which left Europe at
the mercy of Communism and
drove us toward bankruptcy."
The Summary had also stated
that "Baruch is said to be the
complete master of Eisen-
hower's timetable to capture
the Republican nomination."
