Detroit Round Table of the
National Conference of Chris-
tians and Jews observed its 30th
anniversary at a dinner held at
Masonic Temple, last week.
Nate S. Shapero was introduced
as the new Jewish chairman of
the Round Table at the dinner.
Featured speaker of the eve-
ning was Ford vice-president
William T. Gossett, 54, of
Bloomfield. Gossett, active in
the Round Table for many years
and an attorney for almost 30
years at the time he joined
Ford's, spoke on the role law
plays in bringing about toler-
ance and brotherhood. He in-
sisted that:
"Perhaps you can not elimi-
nate by law fear, distrust, ha-
tred and insecurity; and per-
haps you can not legislate a
change in human nature. But
you can bring about by law a
change in human conduct. Dis-
criminatory practices can be
brought under direct restraints.
And prejudices may be lessened
by a change in the conditions
that prompt them."
Commenting on the rash of
bombings in the South, includ-
ing five Jewish Centers, Gos-
sett said that "it would be un-
realistic to shrug these off as
`merely scattered episodic in-
cidents'." He warned that such
incidents were inevitable in an
atmosphere of non-compliance
to the law. "It should not be
necessary," he said, "to remind
us that the crumbling wall of a
synagogue may cascade into the
yard next door, where children
of another creed are playing; or
that the bullets flying in a race
riot may penetrate your home
or mine."
Gossett insisted that the law
is positive creative force, and
not just one of restraint. He
concluded that "If we honor
and respect the law . . . if we

regard it as an expression of
the deepet aspirations of our
society; and if we successfully
propagate this view among the
generations of our yoUng peo-
ple; then we can make this sec-
ond half of the American 20th
century a decisive time of prog-
ress toward genuine and effect-
ive human brotherhood.
Gossett, the son-in-law of
the late U. S. Supreme Court
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes—one of the founders
and guiding forces during the
National Conference's early
formative years — received
congratulatory telegrams
from present Chief Justice
Earl Warren and President
Eisenhower. The messages
were read by Mayor Louis C.
Miriani, who introduced Gos-
sett.
Recently-elected Conference
president Dr. Lewis Webster
Jones, a former president of
Rutgers University who resigned
to take his present post, noted
that education did not- neces-
sarily guar ant e e tolerance.
"Values are nothing, if they are
not values in action," but the
work of the 13, ound Table,
though only educational, exer-
cised the mind to action on be-
half of brotherhood. He saw
in the bombings in Atlanta "a
greaterportent of danger than
in the A-bomb's mushroom
cloud."
And toastmaster James E.
woodman observed that 'Ig-
norance is the enemy of broth-
erhood."
Rabbi Leon Fram delivered
the benediction.
Among the 700 persons at-
tending the anniversary. dinner
were Leonard Simons; Boris
Joffe, executive direct o -r of
Jewish Community Council;
Judge Charles Rubiner; Julius
Chajes; and Benjamin Baum.

Arabs Struggle to Keep UNRWA Aid for Refugees

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,
(JTA)—An intense fight con-
tinued behind the scenes at the
United Nations as the Arab
States, supported by the Soviet
bloc, fought to compel the
United States delegation to
pledge continuation of the
United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine
Arab refugees beyond June,
1960, when its mandate expires.
The Americans want the
entire refugee relief program
to be subject of a fresh study
and they have offered funds to
finance such a survey. Arab in-
sistence on continuation of the
present relief set-up has been
spurred by the welcome given
to Israel's new compromise pro-
posals for settlement of t h e
refugee problem which gave
promise of breaking the logjam.
As the behind-scenes fight
continued, the Arabs, backed by
the Soviet bloc, continued in a
bitter assault on Israel in the
General Assembly's Special
Political Committee. Although
Bulgaria, along with the other
members of the Soviet bloc,
contributed nothing to UNRWA,
its spokesman got up to ridicule
the Israel proposals made by
Ambassador Abba S. Eban as
"typical Zionist logic."
So abusive was the attack
on Israeli that Arthur Lourie,

mittee, Pierre de Vaucelles,

Deny Reports That Hungary May
Permit Jewish Emigration to Israel

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News

VIENNA — Denial that there
are any negotiations in pro-
gress between Hungary and
Israel and that there is any
"mass trend" for emigration of
Jews froth Hungary was issued
in Budapest by Dr. NI. Schoss,
chairman of the Association of
Hungarian Jews. The statement
from the Jewish community
leaders was received here Tues-
day.
"Of late, there have been re-
ports in the Western press," Dr.
Schoss said, "to the effect that
negotiations are in progress be-
tween Hungary and Israel in
regard to large scale Jewish im-
migration from our country to
Israel. These reports are un-
true. It is possible that, the re-
ports resulted from the fact
that recently Romania has per-

mitted a number of its citizens
to migrate to Israel."
"There is absolutely no tend-
ency toward immigration among
the nearly 100,000 Jews. in Hun-
gary," he asserted. "Those who
wanted to leave Hungary left
in the early months of 1957
when emigration permits were
issued without limitation. Dur-
ing that time about 10,000 Hun-
garian Jews did emigrate to
Israel. Now we hear very fre-
quently about former Hungar-
ian Jews in Israel who want
to return to this country."
According to Dr. Schoss, anti-
Semitism is not a serious prob-
lem in Hunrary. There had been
a wave of anti-Semitism ob-
served during the "events of
1956," Dr. Schoss said. The
fact that there is still anti-
Semitism in Hungary was im-
plied when he declared that the
country's official press is now
"constantly unmasking the
sources of anti-Semitism."
The Hungarian Jews, Dr.
Schoss continued, have full- lib-
erty to conduct their own com-
munity organizations and to
practice their religion. He said
that there is a theological semi-
nary training rabbis in Budapest
as well as two Jewish high
schools in the city. The Hun-
garian capital also has, Dr.
Schoss averred, 30 synagogues
and a number of Jewish hospi-
tals.
