Two Signers of JNF,
Bnai Brith Agreement

In a message to the American
Council for Judaism, whose con-
ference, 1pened Thursday in
Philadelphia, President Eisen-
hower expressed the hope that
the objectives of the Council—
the avowedly anti-Zionist Jewish
body—"in the fields of religion
and civic responsibilities" will be
"vigorously advanced . . for
many decades to come."
The anti-Israel position of
the Council was in evidence in
the release of a statement re-
ceived by the convention from

vance publicity.
Others who greeted the con-
vention were Speaker of the
House Martin, former Socialist
candidate for President Norman
Thomas, Historian Oscar Hand-
lin, broadcaster H. V. Kalten-
born, Author Vincent Sheean.
Declaring that the Coudcil
"never had and does not now
have a policy for the Middle
East, as such," Lessing Rosen-
wald, president, proposed re-
vision of Israeli immigration
laws, "w h i c h now assume
Jews allover the world to have
a prior right to go to that
state," and changes in the
Jewish Agency as a means of
clarification of the relation-
ship of American Jews to Is-
rael.
Mr. Rosenwald made much of
the recent Byroade statement.
He expressed the belief that "to-
tal national separation of Amer-
ican Jews from Israel is neces-
sary, precisely because Israel is
a sovereign, foreign state and its
people are entitled to work out
their national destiny in their
own best interests. We simply
reject Israeli national destiny as
being any part of our religion
or of our national destiny as
Americans."
Dr. Theodor H. Gaster, Drop-
sie College professor, stated in
an address that there never has
been a Hebrew or Jewish "race,"
nor is it accurate to assign a
common ethnic origin to the
people now known as Jews. He
said that the notion that Jews
are descended from a man
named Abraham is simply a
popular saga rather than an ac-
curate historical record.
The Council has expanded its
program of religious education,
it was reported by Bernard S.
Gradwohl, Lincoln, Neb.

Laskau Again Walks
Wav to Championship

By BILL WOLF

(Copyright, 1954, JTA, Inc.)

There doesn't seem to be any-
one capable of challenging Hen-
ry Laskau as American's cham-
pion amateur walker. Henry
captured the National Amateur
Athletic Union title in the 10,-
000-meter walk for the eighth
consecutive year.
The nearest competitor to
Laskau in the meet was Bruce
McDonald, who finished 60 yards
behind. Henry represented the
' 92nd St. YMHA in New York
' City.
It's interesting to compare
Laskau's performance in the
United States with his perform-
ances overseas. Twice in inter-
national Olympic competition,
Laskau was ruled out for a tech-
nical infraction of the rules.
These instances were heart-
breaking to Henry, who longed
to capture an international
Olympic title. He won an inter-
American meet in Argentina,
where he said the judges were
much tougher than in the Olym-

pics.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Bnai
Brith will plant the largest
memorial forest in Israel as part
of the Forest of Martyrs now
going up on Jewish National
Fund soil in the mountains of
Judea in the vicinity of Jerusa-
lem, according to an announce-
ment by Philip Klutznick, presi-
dent of Bnai Brith.
The announcement followed
an agreement signed by Mr.
Klutznick and Maurice Bisguyer,
secretary, in the name of Bnai
Brith, and Dr. Harris J. Levine,
president, and Mendel N. Fisher,
executive director, in the name
of the Jewish National Fund of
A m e r i c a. According to the
agreement, 300,000 trees will be
planted by the 300,000 members
of Bnai Brith in the United
States and it is expected that
an additional 200,000 trees
planted by Bnai Brith members
in other countries of the world
will result in a forest of 500,000.
