WASHINGTON, D.C.—Lloyd
W. Dinkelspiel, well known San
Francisco attorney, president of
the board of trustees of Stan-
ford University, was elected
president of the National Jew-
ish Welfare Board at the organ-
ization's biennial convention
here last week. He succeeds
Charles Aaron, Chicago attor-
ney. President of JWB since
1954, Aaron was elected an hon-
orary vice-president.
Dinkelspiel is the first man
from the West Coast to head a
national Jewish organization. A
staunch UJA worker for many
years and campaign- chairman
of the San Francisco Jewish
Welfare Fund in several drives,
he led two delegations to Israel
for the purpose of surveying at
first hand the needs for Amer-
ican communal support. A for-
mer president of the San Fran-
cisco Jewish Welfare Fund, he
was one of the chief organizers
and first president of the Jew-
LLOYD W. DINKELSPIEL
ish Welfare Federation of San.
Francisco, Marin County and
the Peninsula. He is a national
vice-president of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee and presi-
dent of its Western Region.
In 1952, Dinkelspiel visited
Alaska, Japan and Korea as a
JWB representative. He is a
veteran of both World Wars I
and II—the first JWB president
to have served in uniform.
When the San Francisco Jew-
ish Community Center was
founded in 1933, he was elected
its first president. He is a for-
mer president of JWB's West-
ern States Section and national
vice-president of JWB.
In addition to being president
of the Stanford University board
of trustees, Dinkelspiel is also
a member of the board of direc-
tors of the Stanford Research
Institute and is on the advisory
board of the Hoover Institution
on War, Revolution and Peace.
Samuel A. Rubiner, of De-
troit convention chairman,
was elected a new vice-presi-
dent of JWB. Other newly
elected vice-presidents include
Lester D. Alexander, Toledo,
0.
Mrs. Samuel R. Glogower, Dr.
Irwin Eisenfeld and Abraham
Satovsky, Detroit area leaders,
were elected to the JWB board.
Challenges to both the syna-
gogue and Jewish Community
Center were thrown by Louis
Heilbron, prominent San Fran-
cisco attorney and president of
JWB's Western States Section,
and Rabbi Morris Adler, spirit-
ual leader of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek, Detroit.
Rabbi Adler said: "The Cen-
ter must make a clear and sin-
cere affirmation of loyalty to
the concept of American Jewry
as a religious community. The
Center is at one with all insti-
tutions and movements engaged
in the serious enterprise not
alone of preserving the Jewish
group, but also of conserving
the religious heritage.
"The club leader is no less
a Jewish teacher than a special-
ist in group work. The art in-
structor should be more than a
master of art techniques. He
should be equipped to guide
students with creative faculties
to Jewish sources of inspiration
and content. The Center can
thus contribute to the stimula-
tion of Jewish artistic and liter-
ary interest nad creativity.
"Both agencies are needed;
the one to symbolize and ex-
press the religious character
of Jewish life; the other to
dramatize and fulfill the ex-
tended meaning which Jewish
thought and practice give to
the term 'religious.'
"What is needed is a clear
espousal of Judaism as a reli-
gious culture, though not iden-
tified with a specific theologi-
cal interpretation . . . The Cen-
ter informed with the emotional
power that comes from a posi-
tive view will not only deepen
its own program but will narrow
the gap between it and the
Synagogue. The Synagogue will
find in the Center a valuable
ally offering professional coun-
sel, supervision and participa-
tion in the larger program of
the Synagogue. The Center will
respond to a more intimate
sense of kinship with the Syna-
gogue since both will have in
common a religious outlook. It
is important for the integrity
of the Jewish pattern that the
Synagogue and Center both
function in our community, unit-
ed in symbolizing the primacy
of the religious character of
Judaism on the one hand, and
the comprehensiveness of the
common life of Jews on the
other."
The JWB also voted to instruct
all affiliated Jewish Community
Centers to do all in their power
to implement the Supreme
Court's integration decision. The
convention also adopted a reso-
lution greeting Israel on its
tenth anniversary of statehood.
Free Ezra Pound;
Poet, Now 72, Beats
Treason Charges
EZRA POUND
Treason charges against Ezra
Pound were dismissed in U. S.
District Court in Washington,
and the 72-year-old poet will
soon leave the mental hospital
where he has spent the last 12
years.
The indictment against Pound,
an openly notorious anti-Semite,
accused him of betraying the
U.S. with pro-Fascist and anti-
American broadcasts from Italy
during World War II.
It is expected that Pound and
his wife will leave for Italy,
where Pound lived for 21 years
before being seized by American
troops in 1945.

Shim Israel Politics, Says Goldstein
NEW YORK—Zionists living
outside of Israel should not "tie
on to the apron strings" of
Israel's political parties, Dr. Is-
rael Goldstein, a co-chairman of
the World Organization of Gen-
eral Zionists, declared at a testi-
monial dinner in honor of Judge
Louis E. Levinthal, of Phila-
delphia, at the Hotel Waldorf-
Astoria.
The dinner, sponsored by the
American Jewish League for
Israel on the occasion of Judge
Levinthal's 65th birthday year
and in celebration of Israel's
tenth anniversary, was also ad-
dressed by Israel's Ambassador
to the United States Abba Eban;
Ezra Z. Shapiro of Cleveland,
president of the League; Sam-
uel Rothberg, chairman of its
board of directors, and Louis
Lipsky, dean of American Zion-
ists and, with Judge Levinthal,
an honorary president of the
League.
Judge Levinthal, who is a
LIMITED
TIME ONLY
member of the actions commit-
tee of the World Zionist Or-
ganization, called for changes in
the Zionist movement, declar-
ing that "its structure must be
thoroughly overhauled and its
aims redefined." The Zionist
movement as such, he said,
should not be identified with
political factions and election-
eering in Israel.

G-Day Mobilizes Hundreds of
Women for Campaign Coverage
Intermittent showers could
not stop last Sunday from be-
ing the largest "G Day" in the
history of the Allied Jewish
Campaign Women's Division.
More than 500 workers, cap-
tains and division chairmen
jammed Temple Israel's Fram
Auditorium to bring in secured
campaign pledges and tally re-
ports.
General Solicitation chairman
Mrs. I. Jerome Hauser reports
that more than half of the slips
in her division were covered,
showing a five per cent increase
over 1957 giving.
Mrs. Lewis B. Daniels, Wo-
men's Division • chairman, re-
ports that in its three sections,
the division has raised $550,000
to date.
"G Day," a great day for
giving, has become, in the eight
years of its existence, a day de-
voted entirely to the campaign
by hundreds of women. Hus-
bands are pressed into service
as drivers and know they can
expect a pick-up supper at best.
"G Day" is no longer a day of
intense solicitation as it was
years ago, but rather the day
when results of a week of in-
tensive solicitation are turned
in and tabulated. The day has
a social aspect too. Because gen-
eral solicitation is broken into
geographic sections, women who
have moved from one neighbor-
hood to another, now see their
campaign friends from the
"old" neighborhood on "G day."
Mrs. Henry Wineman, honor-
ary campaign chairman, and
Mrs. John C. Hopp, UJA na-
tional chairman, joined former
general solicitation chairman,
Mesdames Sidney J. Karbel,
Seymour Frank, William B.
Isenberg and Harold Robinson,
in helping Mrs. Hauser see that
all ran smoothly.
Among those who spent the
day helping were: Maura Blue-
stone, Susan Frank, Marilyn
Lumberg, Linda Rubin, Leah
Salter, Linda Spoon, Susan
Weiss and Kathy Willis.
Crack Down
. „-
on Neturei Karta
Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News
JERUSALEM.
In continu-
ing the crackdown in Israel
courts against demonstrations
by members of the Neturei Kar-
ta sect; 13 defendants were sen-
tenced Wednesday to terms of
up to five months.
The sentences resulted from
charges of wilful disturbances
growing out of sect opposition
to the projected swimming pool
here in which mixed bathing
will be permitted.
Eleven of those sentenced, in-
cluding sect leader Rabbi Am-
ram Blau and his son Uri, had
previous convictions.
