Friday, May 16. 1958 — THE DETROIT Dr. Horace M. Kallen Calls Israelis 'Utopians at Bay' Prof. Horace M. Kallen, one of the most distinguished phi- losophers of our time, has described his reactions to present - d a y . Israel in a series of thought - pro- voking essays. They have ;.)een publish- ed in a single "Uto- )ians at Bay," by the Theo- tor Herzl F oundation ( 250 W. 57th, N.Y. 19). Dr. Kallen He found the Israelis "diverse and di- vided" — and he delineated them in all the facets in which he studies them—Nevertheless, he reports, they looked to him "committed, knowingly or un- knowingly, but committed in heart and mind to a daily round of work and war whose consummation should soon or late be the End-Time." The "total impression" with which Dr. Kallen left Israel "was of a somewhat Utopian fellowship of believer s, in- trepid, enbattled, and unyield- ing, working and fighting with every means within their reach, to transubstantiate the image of the things they hope for into the actualities they live with, to transvaluate the faith which is the evidence of their things unseen into the visible events and tangible facts of everyday existence.

He adds: "The religion of labor as an end in itself has had for its paradoxical consequence an economy of consumption to which labor is a defective means. Apostles of the religion now find themselves in a sit- uation which requires them to seek out ways of making it an adequate means, and of doing so not alone by converting their fellow-Israelis to their faith, informing their understanding, liberating their imagination, and mobilizing their energies in an ever-diversifying produc- tivity. The situation requires even more that these apostles find ways of levelling the im- placable Arab interdict upon free trade in Israeli products with the non-Israeli world. On this line the utopians of Med- inat Israel stand embattled in- deed. In fact it is the line where they stand at bay." Especially valuable is Dr. Kallen's discussion of Israel's educational programs. He em- phasizes that "education should not seek the perpetuation of a denominational type, but should aim to liberate and guide the child's powers into works and We 440(504 g‘i ( ways' upon which it s h o U 1 d grow into a self-reliant, in- formed, skilled, free, brave and happy citizen of the homeland" seemed to be a view "solely of the non-party, non-denomina- tional private schools," and he suggests: "Israel needs, perhaps Chances are, if you're like most people, 2.

He will discuss t h e payments o n Jewish agency - services. D e t r oiters particip a ting in the confer- .. ence include Isidore Sobel- Avrunin off, Dr. S. Jo- seph Fauman, Albert Elazar, -Albert Cohen and Lloyd Meadow. Sobeloff, Harold Silver, exec- - utive director of the Jewish Family and Children's Service, and the late Fred M. Butzel were past presidents of the Conference. In his paper, Avrunin says, "A major factor appears to be the attitude of the agency ad- . ministration, board and staff, toward placing a money value on the service for those who use it. Where there is a reluct- ance to charge there is little payment. Where there is a readiness to charge those who can afford to pay, payments more nearly approximate costs and the services are used more widely by all income groups." Avrunin reports that in Jew- ish hospitals, camps and homes for ,aged, payments average be- tween 65 and 100 per cent of costs. In centers and schools payments are between 40 and Klutznick to be Given Jewish Men's Clubs Award 50 per cent of costs.
