PEC Dinner Honors Joseph Meyerhoff LAWRENCE, N.Y. -- Senator Jacob K. Javits, New York Re- publican, asserted Tuesday night that charges by "Arab propagandists and other critics" that contributions to the United Jewish Appeal were "tanta-. mount" to contributions to the- government of Israel and there- fore not true philanthrophy were "baseless." Speaking before - the Men's Club of Temple Israel here, Sen. Javits took issue with a state- ment by James P. Warburg, for- mer banker and writer on inter- national affairs, that the UJA • engaged in "high handed pro- cedures" in refusing to "segre- gate funds contributed for re- lief or for cultural purposes" from funds that went "directly •or indirectly" into the treasury of Israel. Warburg made his statement in an address Friday night to Congregation Mishkan Israel, New. Haven, Conn. Sen. Javits said he wanted to set the facts "absolutely straight out of respect for the great hu- manitarian work which is in- volved for people as harrassed and persecuted over the centu- ries as have been the Jewish people who have now found haven in Israel." He said this also was necessary "for the hun- dreds of thOnsands of Ameri- cans of all faiths who have con- tributed so generously to one of our country's leading philan- Vitally concerned with prob- to be used in less sophisticated thropic efforts." lems of the" undemocratic dis- societies.
