Bnai Brith Names Four Members-at-Large to Governing Board

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Bnai
Brith has broken tradition by
adding members-at-large to its
board of governors. The first

delegation is uninstructed as to
the next choice.
Although uncommitted to any
platform at present, Meyers and
Mrs. Phillips will caucus with
the Michigan delegation on
Sunday night, where they are
staying at the Congress Hotel.
Mrs. Phillips, who is a dele-
gate for the first time, said she
hopes to see a strong civil rights
program, aid to democratic
countries in Asia and the Mid-
dle East and repeal of the Mc-
Carran-Walter Immigration Act.
Meyers, chairman of the 17th
District Democratic Party or-
ganization, said that he feels
certain a plank will be adopted

Eisenhower Assails
Racial and Religious
Bias in Elections

WASHINGTON, (J T A) —
President Eisenhower has
sharply condemned those who
invoke racial a n d religious
prejudice in the forthcoming
elections. He spoke at his press
conference against those who
incite racial and religious hatred
for personal political advantage.
"I believe," he said, "that
anyone that stirs up racial ha-
treds and other antagonisms
that are based upon race or - re-
ligion or differences in basic
philosophy—it is always a mis-
take. It is a very grave error
and a disservice to the United
States. Extreme statements of
this kind can do no one any
good.
"The path of human progress
is not along the path of hatreds;
it is not along the path of ex-
tremes. It is along the path that
represents the road where peo-
ple of good will and real sensi-
bilities can get together and
say, 'Here is a way we can go
together'."

Youth Leave for Israel

RIO DE JANEIRO, (JTA)—
A group of 10 Jewish youths be-
tween 18 and 27 years of age
left Brazil to serve for one year
in Israel border settlements. A
second group will leave in Sep-
tember.

All of us try to get the best value for every dollar we spend. Why

not apply the same wisdom to the money we save? An account

at American Savings earns 2 1 /2 per cent, a higher-than-average

rate—makes savings easier to keep intact—less tempting to

withdraw. Remember, too, at American Savings, funds received

by the 10th, earn from the 1st of the month. Naturally it's smart

to "Save the American Way"—because it's more more profitable.
