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.

McElroy and Secretary of the Treasury Robert B. An- derson. 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. MAURICE A.

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.
