ities, was presented at the City Hall to Acting •Mayor LOUIS

I
p o sing the activities of
''Arab propagandists in this
c ountry in two address here
last week, Benjamin E. Epstein,
national director of Bnai Brith's
Anti-Defamation League, said:
"Not since the Hitler regime
has a foreign government or
group of foreign nations sought
to discredit the American Jew
by activities in this country
such as those undertaken by the
Arab nations through the estab-
lishment of the Arab Informa-
tion Center.
"American anti - Semites and
Arab leaders are working hand
in glove. American -hate-mon- ,
gers have been royally received
in the Middle East. Leading
newspapers in the Arab nations
have distributed the anti-Jew-
ish diatribes of American pro-
fessional bigots. Arab spokes-
men have attacked the loyalty
of the American Jew. Amer-
*ank,'Of the -Jewish Faith are
dealt with as second class citi-
zen's when they are denied : visas
to the Arab 'countries, When
American soldiers of the Jew-
ish Faith are rejected by Saudi
Arabia and when American
busileSs firms are blacklisted.
"In. 'Cross-Currents,' we have
exposed t h es e activities and
documented the ch ar g es by
specific proofs. This documen-
tation_ has been placed in the
hands of the Department of
State for appropriate action.
"The Anti-Defamation League
of Bnai Brith believes it is our
government's business w h en
spokesmen of foreign nations
seek to challenge the patriotism
of American Jews, as Arab dip-
lomats have done. It is high'
time that our State Department
dealt vigorously with this de-
nial of the rights of American
citizens," Epstein concluded.
In his addresses here, Mr.
Epstein said the ADL. has ap-
pealed to heads of both the
Democratic and Republican par-
ties to prevent the injection of
anti-Semitism in the coming
political campaign.
He said the ADL is seriously
concerned with the integration
issue and is taking a strong
stand against race bias in the
South.
In :announcing the: fOrthcom-
ing annual meeting' of the He-
brew Free Loan Association, to
be . held late in May, Julian
Zemon, president, called atten-
tion to the fact that this is the
society's 60th year of service to
the community.
Begun on Dec. 11, 1895 to
make loans to all peoples, • re-
gardless of race, nationality or
religion, the group does not
charge interest nOr any other
fees from borrowers.
In its early days when money
was more scarce, loans were
limited to $25. Today; loans of-
up to $1,000 may be made, with
only endorsements from two or
more businessmen necessary.
The Association also has es-
tablished a scholarShip fund,
within only the past six months,
to help students in search of a
higher education attend school.

the Present Crisis" is the .sub- cussed by three well-informed

Large Audience
At Center Concert
By ELIZABETH WALDMAN
T . h r e e soloists performed
Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto
No. 4" with a steady compe-
,tence that made, the familiar
melodic lines and counterpoint
enjoyable to hear. Soloists
were Edouard Kesner, violin;
Avrum Rosenthal a n d Don
Zwickey, flutists.
In the "Moldau" by Snietana,
'Chajes achieved an ensemble
performance with the orches-
tra, which again demonstrated
the quality of mature unity not
often achieved by larger, older
organizations. Although often
too loud; with over-emotional
conducting, the piece as a
whole, was well executed.
People were turned away at
the door and the standing-
room, capacity audience that
packed -the auditorium, gave
the veteran performer a n d
,teacher, Mischa Kottler,. an
ovation for his interpretatidn
'of Tschaikovsky's -"Piano Con-
certo No. 1."
To this listener's , ears, Mr.
Kottler played the entire con-
certo at a tempo of • his own
manufacture, which neither fol-
lowed the score, nor could be
adequately followed by Mr.
Chajes and the orchestra. The
result: tones sustained too long
by a heavy damper pedal; fa-
miliar music, poorly conceived
by the artist, who performed
it with excellent technique.
Audience demand brought/
Mr. Kottler back for an encore.
