tlement of Jews in the United
States but called on the organi-
zation to avoid, if possible, the
necessity for a national fund-
raising campaign by utilizing in-
stead facilities -of existing na-
tional organizations, including
English-Jewish newspapers.
The following resolution was
adopted urging strong support of
the United Jewish Appeal and
the Israel bond drive by Ameri-
can Jewry:
WHEREAS the United Jew-
ish Appeal faces grave and
challenging problems in the
discharge of the stewardship
imposed upon it by the Ameri-
can Jewish Community, and
WHEREAS the stabilization
of Israel's economy and the
new State's undertaking to
-feed and clothe and shelter
multitudes of Jews for whom
it provided refuge, depends on
the continued financial aid
from us in a free and prosper-
ous world, and
WHEREAS the resurgence of
anti-Jewish activities in many
areas under Soviet control
may result in another wave of
emigration, and thus tax the
strength of the gallant democ-
racy we helped establish, and
WHEREAS the effort to sell
State of Israel Bonds, in order
that industrialization may be
continued and speeded, and
fruitful employment may be
found for the newcomers to
Israel . . .
NOW, • THEREFORE, be it
resolved by the National As-
sociation of English-Jewish
Newspapers, here assembled in
annual convention, that the
imperative call to the Jews of
America be a challenge to our
sense of kinship with the Jews
in Israel, to the integrity of
our Jewish convictions, to our
profession of faith in the Jew's
destiny.
BE IT FURTHER RE-
SOLVED that we bend our ef-
forts to the attainment of a
further understanding of Is-
rael's crucial needs, so that the
great compassionate heart of
the American Jewish Commu-
nity may respond with warm
gladness, with the fullness of
spirit.
Boris Smolar, editor of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, in
a message to the editors and
publishers, stated:
"I am certain that the results
of your convention will be bene-
ficial to the interest of Ameri-
can Jewish communal life which
is ably reflected in the English-
Jewish newspapers published by
the members of the Association."
Messages of greeting and com-
mendation also were received
from Senator Lehman, Con-
gressman Javits and national
Jewish leaders.
