Bnai Brith Convention Deals With
World IssU
Security Issue
-
WASHINGTON — The free
spirit of American life is sti-
mulating Judaism . in the
United States to !'new growth
rather than decline i " Philip M.
Klutznick, president of Bnai
Brith,. said in his opening ad-
dress, dt the Bnai Brith trien-
nial convention here.
Findings a "renascence" of
Jewish life in Western. Europe
and a "new, vital amalgam in
Israel," Mr. Kutznick foresaw
the expansion of Jewish. corn-
munities in the free world
"both numerically and as spiri-
tual and cultural movements
. . in an atmosphere that is
free and under the aegis that
provides for voluntary associ-
ation of men and ideas."
Only in Soldet RuSsia and
the satellite nations behind
the Iron Curtain "is /Jewish
life . languishing and ap-
p r o a c h.i n g„eXtinction," he
said.
Discussing the Middle East
erisis, Mr. Klutznick said:
"The' positive action of the
United Nations Security Coun-
cil in-rushing Secretary Gen-
eral Dag • Hammarskjold to the
Middle East very likely averted
a shooting war." - , •
His praise for the immedi-
ate success of the Hammar-
skjold mission was tempered
by a "concern for the obvious
danger that the _ major na-
tions of the world will once
again relax into political
doldrums now that the shoot-
ing has stopped althoukh it
has been their =punctual and
, dilatory diplomacy that al-
lowed the succession of skirl-
mishes and border incidents to
_erupt—and almoSt get out of
hand."
Senator Herbert Il. Leh- -
man, another convention
Speaker, charged that the At-
torneY Creneral. -"Shows the
lack of political courage im-
plicit in passing the buck to
Congress" on federal securiity
matters in government em-
ployment.
-
He welcomed as a sign that
"the fog has begun to lift"
on federal employee loyalty
and security procedures, the
Attorney General's proposal for
Congressional legislation to per-
mit Government workers
against whom. security charges
have been filed, to remain on
the job until final adjudication
of their cases.
"But the Attorney General

from Congress," the Senator
said. "The Administration to-
day has all the power it needs
to institute, by executive order
this necessary reform. The At-
torney General does little to
improve the climate of freedom
when he shows the lack of
political courage implicit in
passing the buck to Congress."
