Zigmond Moses to Head 6—DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Friday, July 1, 1955
Labor Zionist Branch 11

Moses A. Leavitt, executive
vice-chairman of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee, announces
the retirement of HARRY
SACKLER, former newspaper-
man and a noted playwright and
novelist, after 10 years as direc-
tor of JDC's Yiddish publicity
department. Mr. Sackler is the
author of four volumes of Yid-
dish plays, "Festival at Meron,"
a historical novel in English,
"Sefer Hamachzoth," a collec-
tion of nine Hebrew plays, and
"Hakesheth Be'anan," a collec-
tion of seven Hebrew stories.

BERNARD SEGAL, a noted
young sculptor of Philadelphia,
has won the $1000 Lena Sokolow
Palestine Scholarship for travel
and study in Israel, it was an-
nounced by Pincus M. Berkson of
New York, acting chairman of
the Scholarship Fund.

Recently installed in office as
executive vice-chairman of the
United Jewish Appeal, Rabbi
HERBERT A. FRIEDMAN this
summer will make a five-week
personal survey of the overseas
programs that are financed
through the UJA. The UJA exec-
utive head will leave New York
in mid-July for visits and con-
ferences in Western Europe, Is-
rael and other areas.

Prime Minister U Nu of
Burma, who is in the United
States to pay an official visit
to Washington, enjoys the af-
fection of American Jewry . . .
Although they never saw him
before, many thousands of Jews
in. this country have a very
warm feeling for him because
of his courageous pro - Israel
stand at the recent Bandung
conference . . . Affection grew
even -stronger after his rebuke
to the Arabs—in his visit to Is-
rael despite strong Arab pres-
sure . . . Ties of friendship have
existed between Israel and
Burma for almost as long as
the two countries have been in-
dependent states . . . Prime
Minister U Nu — just as Israel
Premier and Foreign Minister
Moshe Sharett—played a major
role in fostering this friendship
. . . Like Israel, Burma had pre-
viously been ruled by a foreign
power.
Burma first recognized Israel
on Dec. 1, 1949, but for the next
three years the ties between the
two countries were purely for-
mal . . . Indeed, during this
period, Burma appeared to be
* * *
siding more with the Arabs than
with Israel and repeatedly voted
American and Canadian Uni-
for Arab-sponsored resolutions versity students from 26 cam-
at the United Nations General puses have elected WILLIAM
Assembly . . . In 1952 an of-
f cial Israel labor delegation
went to Rangoon to attend an
International Socialist confer-
ence . . . This delegation was
headed by Mr. Sharett and in-
cluded Reuven Shiloah, now Is-
rael's Minister M. Washington,
and Reuven Barkatt, in charge
of the Histadrut's Foreign Rela-
tions department . . . This was
the first appearance at an Asia-
tic conference of an official
delegation from Israel .

Late-, a small Burmese dele-
gation headed by U Kyau Nyein,
- one of the central figures in the
Burmese government and a
leader of the Burmese Socialist
Party, visited Israel . . . As a result
of reports submitted home by
this delegation, Burma's voting
record in the ITN changed in Is-
rael's favor . . . The Burmese
thus showed their admiration
for the achievements of the
State of Israel under a leader-
ship whose ideas closely paral-
leled Burma's own social philos-
ophy.

College of the City of New York,

Dr. ARTHUR T. JACOBS, who
was executive director of HIAS,
the Hebrew Immigrant Aid So-
ciety, prior to its merger with

newly-merged agency, effective
July 14.
