Motion pictures, radio, television
and public service—accepting an
invitation of former Senator Her-
bert H. Lehman—have joined in
an American committee to mark
in the United. ,States the Tenth
Anniversary of the founding of
the State of Israel.
Sen. Lehman has agreed to
serve as the general chairman
of the committee, which will
plan a series of -functions to be
held during 1958, emphasizing
"the community of interests
which binds Arabs and Jews and
Americans in the dynamic search
for peace." The new group is to
be known as the Ainerican Com-
mittee for Israel's Tenth Anni-
versary Celebration. Dr. Israel
Goldstein, president of the
American Jewish Congress, will •
serve as chairman of the com-
mittee. Nineteen vice chairmen
represent every facet of organ-
ized American Jewish community
life. Jack D. Weiler will serve
as treasurer.
In announcing the formation
of the committee, Senator Leh-
man underscored that "Ameri-
ca's security interests are in-
volved in the Middle East as
never before," and that Ameri-
ca's special role in the creation
of the State of Israel should not
be forgotten. "The world, espe-
cially the Western world, has a
deep spiritual as well as tem-
poral reason to take appropriate
notice of this 10th anniversary
of the re-birth of this ancient
state, whose roots are common
with thoSe nf western civiliza-
tion itself. As' the Land of .the
Bible was the cradle of the spir-
itual:heritage of all of us, it is
toda3 the :foothold and the.focus
of the forces of freedom and
democracy in the Middle East."
