CJFWF Takes Action to Meet Israd,
U. S. Needs; Aheles Elected President
CHICAGO — Herbert R. Abe-
les, of Newark, was elected presi-
dent of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds,
as more than 500 Jewish commu-
nity leaders from all parts of
the United States and Canada,
participating in the Council's 24th
General Assembly here, took ac-
tion on major responsibilities
overseas and at home.
Mr. Abeles, who succeeds
Julian Freeman of Indianapolis,
becomes the fifth president of
the Council since its inception in
1932.
Major speakers at the Assem-
bly were Stanley C. Myers of
Miami, Mr. Freeman, Samuel A.
Goldsmith of Chicago, Mr. Abe-
les, Herman Pekarsky of New-
ark, Dr. Bernard Bell of Wash-
ington, D. C., and Semah Cecil
Hyman of the Israeli Consulate
in New York.
In his keynote address, Mr.
Myers declared that the next
decade will witness an increas-
ing shift of emphasis of Jew-
ish community services away
from the relief of economic dis-
tress and towards a satisfaction
of spiritual, cultural and emo-
tional needs.
"Federations and welfare funds
have raised over a billion dol-
lars in recent years for the serv-
ice of Jews and mankind gen-
erally, in the United States and
throughout the world," Mr.
Myers, a past president of the
Council; asserted.
Mr. Myers' address represent-
ed a synthesis of the views of
60 prominent Jewish leaders
throughout the nation. He de-
clared that "the overwhelming
majority" of leaders reporting
their views accepted the local
Jewish central community organ-
izations as "their foundation and
framework" for the major tasks
ahead.
. In a resolution on the Mid-
dle East situation, the dele-
gates urged the United States
to seek formal security treaties
with Israel and such Arab
states as will commit them-
selves to preserve the peace.
The resolution cited the "great
dangers to Israel brought about
, by Egypt's massive armaments
purchases," and declared that
the attainment of peace in the
Middle East is "imperative to
promote the security of the
free world and to enable the
people of the region to con-
centrate on economic develop-
ment and the raising of living
standards."
It expressed appreciation of the
"constructive proposals on se-
curity guarantees" made by Sec-
retary of State John Foster
Dulles in an address on Aug. 26,
and added that if the U.S. could
gain security treaties with Israel
and the Arab states, such action
"would have a decisive effect on
the maintenance of the peace."
In another resolution, the dele-
gates urged Jewish communities
throughout the United States to
undertake "maximum philan-
thropic efforts" to help thousands
Of Jews who wish to migrate
from North Africa to Israel and
other parts of the world, because
they believe "their rights, se-
curity and economic survival are
gravely endangered."

In view of the extraordinary
nature of Israel's needs for 1956
the delegates called upon all
agencies seeking American sup-
port for programs in Israel joint-
ly to review their requirements.
The agencies were asked to pre-
sent, through the Jewish Agency,
an approved program of cam-
paigning, in coordination with
the United Jewish Appeal, in
order that maximum results may
be obtained for the activities re-
ceiving priority clearance.
The Council leaders re-em-
phasized their conviction that
the McCarran-Walter Immi-
gration and Naturalization Act
is "anti-immigrant, and that its
philosophy and administration
have proven inconsistent with
basic American concepts and
directly injurious to American
leadership in the battle for
democracy and freedom." The
community leaders called for
revision of the Act so as to
"eliminate the discriminatory
national origins quota system."
Recognizing that population
shifts and needs are altering the
character of communities, the
delegates urged service agencies
to intensify studies and planning
to cope with these broad changes.
Noting the serious shortage of
trained, professional personnel in
Jewish community organization,
the assembled communal leaders
urged the "Council nationally
and the communities locally" to
take steps to "interest more
young men and women to enter
the field of Jewish communal
service."
In an address on Israel needs
and services, Herman Pekarsky,
who had just returned from
overseas, declared that emigra-
tion to Israel of 45,000 North
African Jews during the next
twelve months was a necessary
answer to their "extraordinary
poverty and critical emergency
needs."
The cost of this program, Mr.
Pekarsky reported, is estimated
by Israel government officials at
$127,000,000.
The third annual William J.
Shroder Memorial Awards were
presented at the dinner to the
Michael Reese Hospital's Insti-
tute for Research and Training,
Chicago, and the Montgomery
(Ala.) Section of the National
Council of Jewish Women.

tary of the Council, announced

Anti-Minority Riots
In Turkey Deplored;
Jewish Losses Heavy
ISTANBUL (JTA) — The
President of Turkey, Gedal
Bayar, delivered a violent attack
on the anti-minority riots in this
country several months ago, in
an address opening the winter
session of the Turkish Parlia-
ment. Millions of dollars worth:
of property owned by Jews was
sacked and destroyed as mobs,
originally protesting the Greek
demands for union with the
island of Cyprus, turned their
wrath on shops owned by all
minority groups and some Turks.
President Bayar stressed that
the Turkish constitution guaran-
teed equal rights and full se-
curity to all citizens, regardless
of race, religion or language. He
pledged that those who incited
and participated in the riots
would be
and revealed
that inquiries into the cause and
effects of the riots are still going
on. He asserted that the country
was still "suffering from
wounds" inflicted by the mobs.
In a review of foreign policy
he asserted that the Baghdad
pact — whose current signatories
are Turkey, Iraq and Britain and
which may be joined by other
Middle and Far Eastern states
and the United States—was not
aimed at any country in the
Middle East area. While he spoke
warmly of the Arab states in
general, he avoided all mention
of the Palestine problem and re,
cent developments in the Middle
East.
I ask only to be a good and
faithful servant of my Lord and
my people.—Harry T. Truman.
