The meeting, at which Irving Engel was re-elected president for a fifth term, adopted an- other resolution hailing Israel on its tenth anniversary. Asserting that the threat of a revival of anti-Semitism in Germany exists despite the fact that Germany has a democratic political structure, the Commit- tee stressed in its resolution that "recent incidents have caused concern over a possible "serious deterioration in public opinion and attitudes regarding anti-Semitis." The resolution resulted from a report by Zachariah Schuster, head of the Committee's Euro- pean office, who disclosed the results of recent public opinion polls and surveys on German attitudes. He said that of tbe people polled in these studies, 39 per- cent "were definitely anti- Semitic." The highest percent- age of anti-Semitism, he said, exists in the rural areas, par- ticularly in small towns. In its resolution on the Soviet Union, the AJC pointed out that "Khrushchev now himself gives testimony to the discriminatory anti-Jewish policies of his re- gime by singling out the Jews in the Soviet Union for charac- ter assassination and denuncia- tion." Speaking at a special ses- sion dedicated to the tenth an- niversary of Israel's statehood, Yaacov Herzog, Israel's Minis- ter Plenipotentiary to the Unit- ed States, expressed gratitude on behalf of his government to the Committee "for its deep in- terest in Israel and for the con- tribution it has made to the strengthening of American- Is- rael friendship." Engel, in his presidential ad- dress, recommended the crea- tion of a comprehensive plan centered on a regional, Middle Eastern economic development program. To this end, he urged the initiation of a study of an objective, non-political nature to be undertaken under the aegis of a group of distinguished Americans with a record of high competence. He also called upon the U.S. Government to support a comprehensive plan of economic aid and coopera- tion for the entire Middle East- ern region. Sen. Herbert H. Lehman was honored on his 80th birthday for his six decades of service to human rights and human welfare. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt presented Sen. Lehman, an hon- orary vice president of the Committee, with a copy of the Bruce Rogers Bible which she characterized "as the Holy Book of our two faiths." The Bible, of which there are only 975 numbered copies, was de- signed by Bruce Rogers, the foremost typographer of the twentieth century. The AJC annual meeting also was addressed by Nelson A. Rockefeller, the principal guest speaker, who stressed that "bigotry and prejudice continue to plague the United States in many ways." The meeting opened with a warning that the mounting crisis in the French parliament could create a serious threat to the safety of Algeria's 120,000 Jews. Sounded by Alan M. Stroock, chairman of the Committee's foreign affairs committee, the warning said that extremist anti-Semitic forces "would au- tomatically become a decisive political factor on the French side in Algeria" without the in- fluence and control of a moder- ate and responsible regime in France. Stroock, who was elected chairman of the AJC adminis- trative board, also pointed out that "an anti-democratic, anti- Semitic group exists within the Paris police force." Singled out for particular concern were some recent po- lice demonstrations in Paris which showed anti-Semitic man- ifestations that Stroock called "symptomatic of the deeply troubled condition in France." Turning to the Middle East, Stroock warned that the recent union of Egypt and Syria "has greatly increased the hardships suffered by Syria's 7,000 Jews." Emphasizing that emigration from that country has become an "inevitable n e c e s s i t y," Stroock said that "in the fanatic mood of nationalist demonstra- tions in Syria, Jews have been surrounded by greater hostility than ever before. We have re- ceived reports that not only were Jews compelled to cease all business activity, but also to stay in their homes for fear of atrocities." Also elected at the final day's session was William Rosenwald, national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, who was chosen chairman of the Committee's National Advisory Council, a consultant policy group. Another convention topic was a report by Dr. John Slawson, executive vice-president of the AJC, that discriminatory bar- riers have been erected against the promotion of Jews to man- agement positions in the auto- motive, steel, oil and coal in- dustries. In these major industries, Slawson said, Jewish personnel comprise only about one-half of one percent of the manage- ment executives — despite the fact that eight percent of the college-trained population is Jewish and the managerial staffs are chosen almost exclu- sively from the ranks of college graduates. He emphasized that in the banking industry the barriers were gradually being lowered and that "research opportunities tend to be available on an equal basis." Promotional opportun- ities in management, however, he said, "were very limited." Maj.
