`Open Skies' Policy for 'Soviet Jews
ATLANTIC CITY (JTA) —
A call for intensification of
spiritual activity • within the
American Jewish community
through education of the
younger generation, sharpening
of interest in the value of the
Yiddish language, literature and
culture, and in the spiritual
heritage of murdered Eastern
European Jews, was spurided
here at the closing session of
the three-day biennial conven-
tion of the Jewish Labor Com-
mittee. • Some 400 • delegates
representing - 500,000 members
In the United States and Canada
attended.
In a resolution dealing with
Jews in the Soviet Union, the
JLC called for "an open skies
policy for the Jews of the
USSR. Let us see and hear
what is happening to them. We
demand an _accounting of what
has happened to Jewish cul-
tural life under Soviet rule."
In a series of resolutions, the
committee urged the United
States Government to "exert
fairness and justice in the ques-
tion of Israel"; admit Egyptian
Jews forced to flee persecution,
reverse its policy of "pandering
to lie anti-Jewish, discrimina-
tory tactics of King Ibn Saud."
The - JLC also expressed sup-
port of Israel's reaction to con-
tinuous Arab incursions and
attacks.
Adolph Held, who was re-
elected national chairman of
the JLC, suggested that the
U.S. go before the United Na-
tions with a proposal for the
establishment of a maritime
"flotilla for freedom" to be
stationed at the entrances to
the Suez Canal and the Gulf of
Aqaba "to assure innocent pas-
sage to all shipping regardless
of the flags flown from mast-:
heads or the destination of the
goods carried in the cargo
holds."
-Both Jacob Pat, executive
secretary of the Committee,. and
Nathan Chanin, general sec-
retary of the Workmen's Circle
and chairman of the JLC ad-
ministrative committee, hit ,Ni-
kita S. Khrushchev and other
top SOviet leaders for anti-
Jewish activities in and out of
the USSR.

at Brunch foc Israel
Women's Bond Division
Mrs. Avis Shulman, national
chairman of speakers and in-
formation for the Women's Divi-
sion, State of
Israel ,Bonds,
will address the
presidents and

Who have been

gogue.
Mrs. Theodore Bargmaxi is
chairman for the event.
Mrs. 'Shulman lived and
worked for a time on a kibbutz
in Israel. In 946, as a represen-
tative of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine, she aided dis-
placed persons in Europe: On
her return she was associated
with Americans for Haganah
and Materials for Israel.
Mrs. Shulman visited Israel
last summer, when she under-
took an intensive six-week study
tour on behalf of State of Israel
Bonds. A graduate of Northwes-
tern University, she did grad-
uate work at the University of
Chicago and is one of the few
women to have received a deg-
ree from Hebrew Union College.
She hat recently undertaken
the guidance of educational
seminars for women active in
the Israel Bond drive, and has
visited, many American com-
munities to lead these institutei.
Mrs. Shulman is the wife. of
Rabbi Charles Shulman,- of
erdale Temple, New York.
delegates, Pat struck out at the
American Council for • Judaism,
specifically objecting to its use
of the term "Hebrew religion."
The Council, he went on,
"acknowledges the religion of
the Jews, but does not recog-
nize the people which has pre-
served that religion for thous-
ands of years."
CharleS . S. Zimmerman, vice
president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union
and chairman of the national
trade union council of the Jew-
ish Labor Committee, made a
blistering attack on scions of
large American Jewish organiza-
tions "who win tolerance
awards, find themselves ten-
dered testimonial dinners by
major Jewish organizations, yet
utilize the forces of violent pro-
bias groups in the South in
order to prey e n t legitimate
trade union organization."
Zimmerman, naming promin-
ent Jewish manufacturers . and
financial factors - in industry,
said that the pages of anti-
Semitic, anti-Negro and anti-
labor publications show a link
between these manufactUrers
and attempts to use racism and
White Citizen Council partici-
pation in destroying active at-
tempts by labor to organize.
The Jewish Labor Committee
raised $1,000,060 • in a two-year
period, Benjamin Tabachinsky,
national Campaign director, told
the delegates.- - He announced a
special $100,000 fund to aid
those Jews who are escaping
from Poland's wave of anti-
Semitism. The monies will be
expended to aid Jewish labor
leaders escaping to the West.
Dr. Frank Graham, former
U.S. Senator from North Caro-
lina, also addressed the con-
vention. Messages were received
from Israel Foreign Minister
MTS. Golda Meir, Israel Am-
bassador Abba S. Ethan, presi-
dent ' of the AFL-CIO George
. , and David Dubinsky,
Meany
president of the ILGWU.
