'53 ilied Jewish Campaign Official
Opening Set for Wednesday, April 22
Public Rally at Temple
Israel With Dr. Nahum
Goldmann as Speaker
The official opening of the 1953 Allied Jewish Campaign
will take place at a meeting to be held at 8:15 p.m., Wednesday,
April 22, in the auditorium of Temple Israel. Coming at the
time of year when Jews everywhere hail the 5th anniversary
of the founding of Israel, the event takes on added importance
with the announcement that the address at the meeting will be
given by Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chairman of the American
Section of the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
"With the traditionally important role that aid to Israel plays in
the Allied Jewish Campaigns, the appearance of Dr. Goldmann, one
of the outstanding orators of our time and a leader in the Zionist
movement for many years, make the official opening a truly auspi-
cious one," Irving W. Bluinberg and Harvey H. Goldman, 1953 Allied
Jewish Campaign chairmen, said. They added that this year partic-
ularly, "with such unhappy news as we receive Concerning the Jews
behind the Iron Curtain, it becomes even more imperative that we

strive to make Israel a strong, safe haven for all who need her."
They also pointed out that Allied Jewish Campaign funds in the past
have aided the United Jewish Appeal and other agencies "to bring
hundreds of thousands of Jews to Israel, provide them with susten-
ance and provide the old and sick with proper care." •
Dr. Goldmann is chairman of the Conference on Jewish Mater-
ial Claims against Germany, president of the World Jewish Congress
and chairman of Executive, World Zionist Congress.

This Tuesday, April 14, marks another important campaign
event. On that day the pre-campaign dinner will be held at 6:30
p.m., in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel and
will be addressed by Max Lerner, noted journalist, editor, educator
and author. Lerner's sympathetic and penetrating articles in the
New York Post on conditions in the Jewish State have done much
to spotlight national attention on the need for immediate funds to
provide decent housing and other necessities of life for the un-
precedented flood of immigrants to Israel. The past week meetings
were held by the dry goods and auto parts sections and next week
the metals and pharmacists sections will meet.
Dr. Goldmann became a member of the Zionist Actions Commit-
tee in 1927 and served as one of the members of the Political Com-
mission which negotiated with the MacDonald Government after the
publication of the Passfield White Paper. In 1933, he became acting
chairman of the Zionist Action Committee. In 1935 he was elected
a member of the Zionist Executive and became the representative of
the Jewish Agency for Palestine at the League of Nations in Geneva.
He was the organizer of the first World Jewish Conference in
Geneva in 1932 and then became President of the Committee of
Jewish Delegations in Paris, succeeding Leo Motzkin.

Eisenhower FavorsU
Human Rights Action,
Contradicting Dulles
Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News
WASHINGTON—A
Presidential statement on Tuesday, urging United
Nations human rights action, followed contradictory testimony before the
Senate Monday which specifically announced that the present administration
would not make this nation a party to the proposed UN Covenant on Human
Rights.
Speaking with what he. termed "the full authority of the administration,"
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles on Monday told the Senate Judiciary
Committee that the United States would not sign a UN human rights treaty
because of the opinion that such rights should be encouraged, not by
treaty, but by voluntary "education, persuasion and example."
Confusion was caused here Tuesday when President Eisenhower, reaf-
firming American interest in promoting human rights through United Nations
action, said the continued disregard of individual freedom by totalitarian
gdvernments "is a basic cause of instability and discontent in the world to-
day." In a message to Mrs. Oswald B. Lord, President Eisenhower's new rep-
resentative on the UN Commission on Human Rights, the President made
his feelings known. The commission began work in Geneva Tuesday to put
the Human Rights Convention into final shape Secretary Dulles said.
In his message to Mrs. Lord, the President said the denial of human free-
dom in some countries causes the work of the commission to take on greate
importance and meaning.
"For these reasons also," the message said, "there is need for a new al:I ,.
proach to the development of Human Rights in all areas of the world. I have
accordingly asked Mrs. Lord to present positive UN action programs to the
Commission which we feel will contribute to that recognition of Human
Rights and fundamental freedoms which people are seeking throughout the
world."
The president made no mention of the statement made by Dulles on hit
behalf to the Senate Committee on the preceding day.
