Eight
youthful
of Brotherhood Week

President Eisenhower will
again serve as honorary chair-
man of Brotherhood Week to
be observed Feb. 15-22 under
the sponsorship of the Na-
tional Conference of Christians
and Jews, it was announced
by George B. McKibbon, Chi-
cago attorney, who is serving
as national chairman of
Brotherhood Week.
McKibbin released a letter
from President Eisenhower in
which he defined brotherhood
as a "grace" sought for by the
people of the United States.
"The achievement of brother-
hood is the crowning objective
of our society," President
Eisenhower declared in his let-
ter. "Moreover, on this circling
planet, with nations poised for
mutual advancement or destruc-
tion, we must enlarge our
spirit of brotherhood to include
all men who live under the
banners of liberty and law."

Bnai Brith Youth Commission_
Hears Reports on Education Issues

NEW YORK (JTA)—The de-
segregation issue in the South
was discussed at the annual
meeting of the Bnai Brith
Youth Commission at the Wal-
dorf Astoria. Label A. Katz,
of New Orle an s, national
chairman of Bnai Brith Youth
Organization, reported that
Southern white students are
"more realistic" about desegre-
gation than their elders.
"High school youngsters in
the South prefer an integrated
school to no school at all,"
Katz said. He emphasized that
white students "are not keen"
about mixed classes but "they
are more concerned with edu-
cation than desegregation."
Furthermore, their antagonisms
toward desegregation "are tem-
pered strongly by their respect-
ful attitude toward the orderly
processes of law," he added.
A report by Dr. Max F.
Baer, national director of the
Bnai Brith Youth Organization,
criticized "the failure of rabbis
and group workers to collabo-
rate in the religious training
and education of Jewish youth.

He suggested that rabbis and
group workers adopt a "team
approach" in which one of each
participate as a team to guide
youth groups.
A study conducted among
1,100 Jewish teen-agers, a ran-
dom sampling of the Bnai Brith
youth membership, disclosed
that three out of four young-
sters are "affirmative" in de-
scribing the values of their
Jewish education. Dr. Irving
Canter, Bnai Brith director of
youth • programing, who con-
ducted the survey, reported
that 32 percent of the sampling
"liked their religious educa-
tion experience very much,"
while 45 percent "liked it
somewhat." Another seven per-
cent expressed "dislike" and
the remainder were "indiffer-
ent." "Surprisingly," Dr. Canter
reported, "more girls than boys
think highly of their Jewish
training."
The study, conducted in 25
communities, showed that more
than half of the group prefer
Conservative Judaism. About
one out of four chose Reform
Judaism and 12 percent se-
lected Orthodoxy as a prefer-
ence. The remainder had "no
preference" or listed them-
selves as "non-religious." Parti-
cipants in the sampling were
in the 14 to 19 age group.
Almost all of the boys-96 per-
cent—and 82 percent of the
girls have had some religious
schooling.

Israel Arabs, charged with espi-
onage for Arab countries, were
brought before Haifa District
Court Tuesday where they were
remanded pending trial. The
court rejected a defense plea
for release of the suspects on
bail. The prosecution proceeded
with preparation of f o r m a l
charges that the Arab youths
had prepared and delivered state
security secrets "to the enemy."

20 Israeli Students
Called for Illegal Entry

OTTAWA, Ont., (JTA)—The
Department of Justice announc-
ed the designation of a Montreal
attorney to assist the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police in
investigating the alleged illegal
admission of residents of Israel
into Canada.
Under Canadian immigration
regulations, Israelis are admit-
ted for residence into Canada
only if they are close relatives
of Canadian residents. Students
are allowed to remain in Canada
to pursue their studies but must
leave the country upon comple-
tion of their courses.
The present investigation, it
was learned, involves Israelis
who have been admitted as stu-
dents but whose passports were
illegally stamped "landed immi-
grant." Reportedly some 20
students are involved.
In Montreal, Israeli COnsul
General Michael Simon said:
"We do not encourage emigra-
tion from Israel. And we most
certainly do not encourage any
improper means through which
Israeli citizens obtain immigra-
tion into a friendly country
using illegal pretences."

Rabbis Join Ministers
in Desegregation Plea

ATLANTA, (JTA) — Rabbis
of all branches of Judaism
joined Protestant clergymen in
a statement calling upon the
South to accept desegregation
of the public school system in
line with the Supreme Court's
decision.
The. "save the schools" plan
was endorsed by 312 Atlanta
clergymen. A 1957 statement on
desegregation issued by Atlanta
clergymen as individuals was
not signed by the rabbis. In all,
17 denominations were repre-
sented in the latest statement.
Though no Roman Catholic
priests signed the statement, the
Bishop of Atlanta praised the
document.
Among the practical steps
suggested by the signers were:
the drafting of a public school
operating plan in keeping with
the law of the land; appoint-
ment of bi-racial citizens' com-
mittees to help maintain inter-
racial peace on the local and
statewide level; and free discus-
sion of the issues in church and
synagogue.
