NEW YORK, (JTA)—Jewish
GI's along with other Americans
in the U. S. Armed Forces in the
Far East, suffer from "a great
sense of isolation and are ex-
posed to unwholesome moral in-
fluences and attitudes alien to
us as Americans and Jews," S. D.
Gershovitz, National Jewish Wel-
fare Board executive vice-presi-
dent declared.
Because Jewish community
resources in the Far East are
inadequate for the tremendous
moral job that needs to be done,
he urged all-out support by the
American Jewish community of
JWB aid to overseas communi-
ties.
Gershovitz voiced this view
on his return from a tour of
U. S. military installations in
key areas in the Far East where
he conferred with top military
officials, Jewish chaplains, spe-
cial service officers and Jewish
communal leaders.
Gershovitz met with Jewish
community leaders in Hawaii,
the Philippines, Japan and Oki-
nawa. On the tour he studied
JWB service responsibilities in
the light of possible deployment
of U. S. military forces on or
near Formosa, including all ar-
rangements for Passover serv-
ices, which he called "the most
extensive in years."
In Korea, he noted, there is
no Jewish community and the
Jewish GI's are entirely depend-
ent on the Jewish chaplains.
Gershovitz stressed the meager
community resources he found
in the Philippines, Japan and
Hawaii. In Japan, a small JWB
Armed Services Committee has
been set up in Tokyo, where
there is a Jewish Community
Center. In Hawaii, Mr. Gersho-
vitz helped to reorganize the
JWB Armed Services Committee
and discussed similar arrange-
ments with Jewish leaders in
the Philippines.
