THE DETR OIT JEWIS H NEWS
to Combat Bias; Studies and Plan
GENEVA (JTA) — One im-
portant resolution backed by
Jewish organizations was
adopted unanimously and a
second resolution sponsored by
Jewish groups seemed certain
of passage with amendments,
as the second United Nations
Conference of Non-Governmen-
tal Organizations Interested in
the Eradication of Prejudice
and Discrimination continued
its week-long series of meet-
ings here.
The approved resolution
calls upon the United Nations
Educational, Scientific a n d
Cultural Organization to estab-
lish a world documentation
center, with the tasks of co-
ordinating and disseminating
materials for combatting dis-
crimination and organizing
periodic meetings of specialists
in this field.
Among the co-sponsors of
this resolution was the Con-
sultative Council of Jewish
Organizations, composed of the
American Jewish Committee,
the Anglo - Jewish Association
and Alliance Israelite Univer-
selle.
The second resolution, which
met with some opposition but
seemed set for approval, calls
for the creation of a semi-
permanent committee of organ-
izations interested in fighting
discrimination, and for inten-
sification of action against
prejudice and discrimination
in the field of human rights.
Dr. Gerhard Riegner, coordi-
nating director of the World
Jewish Congress, defended the
plan for creation of that semi-
permanent committee at t h e
p 1 e n u m. Co-sponsoring that
plan is the Coordinating Board
of Jewish Organizations, which
represents Bnai Brit h, the
Board of Deputies of British
Jews and the South African
Board of Jewish Deputies.
Pleas for implementation of
the principle that all individ-
uals have the right to emigrate
from their country of origin
were voiced by the delegates,
who also urged establishment
of a central world body for the
coordination of research, edu-
cational projects and legal rul-
i n g s concerning immigration
problems.
Dr. Maurice Perlzweig, rep-
resenting the World Jewish
Congress, urged implementa-
tion of UN Charter provisions
which would permit non-gov-
ernmental organizations to
complain directly to the United
Nations about instances of dis-
crimination and prejudice.
T h e International Labor
Organization reported to the
conference that, thus
Israel is the only member ' of
the United Nations that has
ratified a 1958 convention ban-
ning discrimination in employ-
ment. Delegates paid tribute to
Israel for this step.
. Earlier, Moses Moskovitz,
secretary general of the Con-
sultative Council of Jewish
Organizations, urged at the con-
ference ,hat the United Nations
designate an "attorney general
for Human Rights." The plan
has bee,. under consideration
since 1950. Moskowitz also
Shrinks Hemorrhoids
Without Surgery
Stops Itch — Relieves Pain
For the first time science has found
a new healing substance with the as-
tonishing ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids and to relieve pain — without
surgery. In case after ease, while
gently relieving pain, actual reduc-
tion (shrinkage) took place. Most
amazing of all — results were so thor-
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like "Piles have ceased to
be a problem!" The secret is a new
healing substance (Bio-Dyne.)—dis-
covery of a world-famous research
institute.This substance is now avail-
able in suppository or ointment form
called Preparation H.* At all drug
counters— money back guarantee.*Il
urged all non-governmental or-
ganizations to stand firm
against all pressures which
would tend to undermine the
universality of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights
adopted by the United Nations
in 1948.
On behalf of the World Jew-
ish Congress, Dr. Perlzweig
charged that "under current
legislation in 'English-speaking
countries, spread of anti-Semit-
ism is guaranteed by constitu-
tional rights." He pleaded for
"radical changes which would,
however, still assure freedom of
expression." As an example of
this type of legislation, Dr. Perl-
zweig cited anti-racial discrimi-
nation legislation now pending
in the Parliament of West Ger-
many.
Barnett Janner, president of
the Board of Deputies of Brit-
ish Jews, asked the conference
to seek means whereby non-
governmental organizations
would combat prejudice by in-
fluencing public education.
Among the committees named
by the conference is one on
legal techniques, headed by Dr.
Gerhard Riegner, of the WJC.
Refugees Provide 'A Lesson, Not a Burden,' UN Official''Sayg
LONDON, (JTA) — Dr. Aug-
ust Lindt, United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees, de-
scribed as "terrible" the fact
that there was in European ref-
ugee camps a third generation
of refugees.
Speaking at an assembly for
CORRA, the Combined Over-
seas Rehabilitation and Refu-
gee Appeal, in the Hall of the
Royal College of Surgeons, he
asserted that the "misconcep-
tion that a refugee was 'charity'
should be fought." He said
there were refugees who had
changed the outlook of their
host countries in many respects,
both economically and cultur-
ally.
To accept refugees is "a les-
son and not a burden," he de-
clared, and cited one country,
in an apparent reference to
Romania, where people had
packed, surrendered their jobs,
homes and everything and now
were prevented from leaving.
He said they, too, were in dire
need of assistance.
The Marquis of Reading
opened the address, and the
Marquis of Landsdowne told
the audience that the British
government had not been slow
or niggardly in its refugee "wonderful generosity and
work. He reported that 80,000
refugees, mainly of Jewish ori-
gin, had come to Britain from
Germany before the war, then
200,000 from Poland and 22,000
more came in 1956 •
The Baroness Elliott of Har-
wood, said the principal fund-
raisers were the voluntary or-
ganizations and that she felt
that they would not disappoint
Dr. Lindt in raising funds for
CORRA. Chief Rabbi Israel
Brodie. in thanking Dr. Lindt,
said that the Jewish people's
ready responsibility" was not
only for Jewish sufferers but
"for all people who are suf-
fering at the present time."
