tion between citizens of the
U.S.S.R. and their relatives in
the free countries; 2: Freedom
of emigration for those who wish
to visit their families in the free
world; and 3. That they restore
the right of publishing Yiddish
language newspapers, books, re-
establishing Yiddish schools,
theatres, etc., so that the Jew-
ish people within its borders can
continue to have free, unfetter-
ed Jewish cultural pursuits."
Mr. Pat revealed that "t h e
American Jewish community is
changin.g • radically and that as
a result the attitudes of these
communities toward the Jewish
Labor movement has been one of
recognition for the needs of la-
bor in meeting current commu-

fifty Jewish communities have
up to date recognized the con-
tributions of the Jewish Labor
Committee — it has a place in
the budgets of those comm -_-_ni-
ties."

gee Act; called for a serious ef-
