Lappin Calls Ferguson 'Pioneer' in
Pro-Israel Efforts; Hits at Critics

Senator Homer Ferguson was
applauded this week as a pi-
oneer in movements to aid Israel
and to help protect the infant
state against attack.
A. C. Lappin, former president
of the Zionist Organization of
Detroit, joined the committee
that has been formed to support
the Senator's campaign for re-
election in condemning any at-
tempts to smear him by in-
- nuendo as dastardly and as un-
clean politics.
"The mere fact that Senator
Ferguson is being condemned by
inference rather than with proof
indicates the unfairness of such
a campaign," Lappin said. He
pointed out that Senator Fer-
guson always has been in the
lead in defending Israel's posi-

tion, that he has strongly backed
the grant-in-aid program for
Israel and that he was the first
man in the U.S. Senate to op-
pose the sending of arms to the
Middle East until there is an
Israel-Arab peace.
"A study of the files of The
Jewish News during non-politi-
cal days will prove my point,"
Lappin said. "For six years, our
Senator has gone on record by
his actions and in declarations
which have been featured in The
Jewish News, in favor of steps
that would help Israel and
against any move that' would
harth Israel. Any inference to
the contrary is a misrepresenta-
tion of facts and is contrary to
fair play."

MICHIGAN NEEDS A GOOD
ATTORNEY GENERAL !

The Candidates for Congress

By MILTON FRIEDMAN

(Copyright, 1954, Jewish Telegraphic)
Agency, Inc.)

WASHINGTON — The political
fate of over 20 Jewish candidates
for Congress will be decided on
Nov. 2.
Election results may install a
Jewish governor in Connecticut.
He is A. A. Ribicoff, a Democrat
who formerly served in Congress.
A victory for Richard L. Neu-
berger, Oregon Democrat, who is
seeking the seat of Republican
Sen. Guy Gordon, would put two
Jews in the Senate. Sen. Her-
bert H. Lehman's term runs un-
til 1956. Only once in American
history have two Jews served
at the same time in the Senate.
That happened between 1907 and
1912 when Sen. Simon Guggen-
heim, of Colorado, and Sen. Isa-
dor Rayner, of Maryland, served
simultaneously.
Most Jewish candidates are
Democrats. Rep. Jacob K.
Javits, the only Jewish Repub-
lican now in Congress, has giv-
en up his House seat. to seek
election as Attorney General
of New York State.
Herbert Zelenko, a Jew who
is contesting for the seat va-
cated by Rep. Javits, is a Dem-
ocrat.
In Chicago, Rep. Sidney R.
Yates, Democrat, finds himself
opposed by another Jew. His Re-
publican rival is Ralph L. Good-
man.
A Jew in Indiana is opposing
Rep. Charles A. Halleck, of Indi-
ana, Republican Floor Leader.
James H. Berg, a Democrat, has
fought an uphill campaign
against Halleck, one of the men
closest to President Eisenhower.
Other races in which Jews are
running against non-Jews in-
clude the Philadelphia battle be-
tween the incumbent Democrat,
Earl Chudoff, and W. B. Carter,
Jr. In Baltimore, Rep. Samuel
N. Friedel, Democrat, is battling
Edward C. Dukehart, Republi-
can. A Massachusetts contest
finds Jackson J. Holtz, former
national commander of the Jew-
ish War Veterans, fighting as a
Democrat for a House seat.
Carl Brodsky is making a bid
in the Rochester, N. Y., area for
the seat now -held by Rep. Ken-
neth B. Keating, Republican.
New Yorkers up for re-election
include the following, all Demo-
erats: Lester Holtzman, Abra-
ham Multer, Sidney A. Fine, Isi-
dore Dollinger, Arthur G. Klein,
and Emanuel Celler. One Dem-
ocrat, Rep. Louis B. Heller, re-
signed from Congress recently
to become a judge.
The chairmanship of the
House Judiciary Committee
would go to Rep. Celler if the
Democrats succeed in winning
a majority of House seats.
Should all Jewish candidates
win, the number of Jews in Con-
gress will be the largest in
history. Particular interest is
attached to the Oregon Senate
campaign waged by Neuberger.
Prior to Sen. • Lehman, the last
Jew to serve in the Senate was
Guggenheim, who represented

an .able press are so ingrained as
a part of American civilization
that any enumeration of its
value seems unnecessary."---Her-
bert Hoover..

man, treasurer; Ben Gellman,
secretary; Max Eizelman, Kal-
