On Memorial Day, we salute our honored dead, who gave their lives
for freedom. As we proudly pay tribute to them, we humbly pray that
we may be worthy of their grave deeds; and we solemnly pledge that the
freedom they won for our country shall be preserved, now and forever.
To perpetuate the memories of our brave young men, the Jewish War
Veterans of Michigan and the Gold Star Parents have inscribed the names
of more than 300 who have made the supreme sacrifice in the JWV Gold-
en Book. We pay 'honor to the memory of the following brave young
Jews who gave their lives in World War II and in the Korean conflict.

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Asserting that "the Communist
regime in Soviet Rusia has not solved the Jewish problem,"
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Con-
gress and of the World Zionist Organization, called on the
Soviet government "to recify the wrongs done to the 3,000,-
000 Jews of Soviet Russia." He asked that "Jews in the
Soviet Union get the same facilities as other national and
religious minorities in the USSR, namely, to organize their
own institutions and to foster "their own culture."
Dr. Goldman, as guest of honor at a luncheon meeting of the
national administrative committee of the American Jewish Con'
gross, at the Stephen Wise Congress House, participated in a
ceremony dedicating the Nahum Goldmann Library in the Con-
gress House.
There is nothing in the theory and program of Communism,
Dr. Goldman said, which rules out Jewish life and the survival of
Jews as an entity. "In the last years of Stalinism," he said, "all
remnants of Jewish life were recklessly eliminated. This policy
of the Stalin regime was only recently publicly conderrined by
Soviet leaders who have tried to make .good the wrongs and
crimes committed by the Stalin and Beria regimes against various
minorities. The one minority for which no such correction was
made is the Jewish minority."
While noting that anti-Semitism is officially outlawed in the
Soviet Union, Dr. Goldmann asserted, "there is no doubt that
in reality discrimination exists as regards the economic and
cultural opportunities for Jews. This," he said, "has been admit-
ted in statements of Soviet leaders themselves."
"The main issue," Dr. Goldman continued, "which compels us
to take a public stand is that the. Jewish community of the Soviet
will, in the long run, disintegrate and disappear if present con-
ditions prevail.
The Jewish leader emphasized that the World Jewish Congress
will continue to urge the Soviet Union to allow Jews to emigrate
from, Russia.
Dr. Goldmann expressed the "profound disappointment of
world Jewry at the spectacular deterioration in the Soviet - Union's
attitude towards Israel." Israel, he said, wants nothing more
than to live in friendship with all countries, Communist and non-
Communist alike. "Recent Soviet policy of partisanship is un-
worthy . of . a great power and defeats her /peace aims and the
prospects of establishing stability , in the Middle East."
Jews in Soviet Union 'Afraid to Talk'
LONDON, (JTA) — Russian Jews still - interested in Jewish
matters are afraid to show such interest because the atmosphere
created by Soviet authorities toward Jewish problemS is "un-
friendly, not to say hostile," according to a report presented to the
Board of Deputies of British Jews. The report said that Jewish
travelers who have returned from recent tours of Russia, where
they looked for opportunities to meet Jews for private talks, all
but confirmed that Russian: Jews were afraid to talk to them,
