TORONTO — A resolution
which would have prevented
officers of the Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations from
participating with leaders of
other American Jewish organiza-
tions in controversial . political
issues was overwhelmingly de-
feated Tuesday' at the Union's
biennial convention here.
The action of the delegates
was an endorsement of the
policies of Rabbi Maurice N.
Eisendrath, president of the
UAHC, who has participated in
the actions of the Presidents
Club, . composed of presidents of
17 major Jewish Zionist and
non-Zionist groups.
Delegates from Nor-folk, Va.,
presented the resolution to the
assembly—which is attended by
several thousand active mem-
bers of Reform Jewry from all
parts of the U.S. and Canada—
which stipulates that the Union
"must avoid helping to create
the public impression that all
Jews are of one mind on any
military, political, economic ocr
.diplomatic issue."
The resolution demanded that
any previous decisions of the
central body of Reform Jewry
authorizing such participation
and actions on the part of the
president of the organization or
other leaders of UAHC be
rescinded.
The resolution met with strong
opposition on the part of many
delegates, and was immediately
counteracted by a recommenda-
tion presented to the general
assembly by the resoliitions
committee, whiCh fecoannlended
that the "Norfolk resolution" be
disapproved.
