Strictly Confidential Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News By PHINEAS J. BIRON Questions and Answers: Is Zionism getting the wrong kind of publicity? The ques- tion is justified. For the last few months, a number of prom- inent American Zionist leaders have appeared on television programs which specialize in controversial issues . . . We re- fer to the NIGHT BEAT inter- views which were run by Mike Wallace and are now handled by a fellow named Wingate .. . In these interviews under the guise of impartiality Zionist leaders have been asked ques- tions about dual loyalty and whether they are first Ameri- can, then Jews and thirdly Zionists in that order . . Al- though the Zionist spokesmen answered intelligently and con- ducted themselves with proper digni ty the general impression prevailed that Zionism is a con- troversial subject which has split American Jewry . .. From a public relations point of view such interviews are bad pub- licity . . . Zionism has long ago emerged from its contro- versial stage ... The establish- ment of the State of Israel should have, once for all, elim- inated controversial aspects for the fact is that the overwhelm- ing majority of Jews the world over 'are pro-Israel and indis- tinguishable from organized Zionists except for a few die- hards of the Council of Juda- ism . . . It is therefore poor statesmanship on the part of Zionist leadership to lend it- self to such TV programs which renew and emphasize a poleini- cal atmosphere around Zion- ism, an atmosphere which in fact does not exist . . And in- cidentally, when we mention Zionist leadership we do not mean the leadship of the American Zionist organization.
