LONDON (JTA) — President
Eisenhower praised the "nota-
ble record" achieved by ORT
since it was founded in 1880,
as the World ORT Union con-
vened here for its 80th anniver-
sary congress.
"Man's concern for his fellow
m a n," President Eisenhower
stated in a message to William
Haber, president of ORT, "is
well expressed in efforts that
advance the opportunity to'
achieve economic independence
and pride of livelihood. During
the past 80 years, the members
of ORT have made a notable
record in developing produc-
tive skills among hundreds of
thousands of distressed persons
throughout the world, and
through the vocational training
of individuals they have con-
tributed much to the strength
of their community and nation."
ORT groups from 30 coun-
tries have sent 250 delegates to
the congress. In addition, lead-
ing diplomats and ranking
United Nations representatives
are here as speakers or observ-
eli.
Outlining the growth of the
organization since 1880, and
declaring it • the largest non-
governmental organization in
the world devoted to vocational
training and education, Haber
stated that, last year alone,
ORT provided instruction to
50,000 young people and adults.
Since the end of World War II,
he reported, the organization
has spent over $50,000,000 for
economic rehabilitation, and its
current annual budget totals al-
most $17,000,000. ORT conducts
more than 650 vocational train-
ing and technical • education
units in 19 countries on five
continents.
Daniel Mayer, French-Jew-
ish statesman and chairman
of the executive committee of
ORT, told the congress of
ORT here Tuesday that "Is-
rael has put an end to an
old prejudice that Jews can-
not work with their hands."
M. Mayer, who is president of
the League for the Rights of
Man, declared that one of the
essential rights of man was the
right to work. Nowhere, he as-
serted, had this found greater
expression than in the State of
Israel "where we have reached
the culmination point of indi-
vidual and collective emancipa-
tion."
Max Braude, director general
of the ORT, told the congress
the challenge facing it today
was "economic obsolescence."
He pointed out that more than
half of ORT's work area lay in
countries sovereign less than 15
years. In the face of this crys-
tal-clear challenge, he declared,
"we must find the means to
extend our services and to ac-
celerate our historical adapta-
,bility."
Psychiatrist Says Jews Might Have
Lived If They Ha d Fought Nazis
Why did millions of Jews quite
passively go to their death in
Nazi concentration camps? Why
did they not fight back?
Bruno Bettelheim, a psychia-
trist who is now director of the
Orthogenic School at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, explores the psy-
chological motivation of perse-
cuted Jews in the November is-
sue of Harper's Magazine.
Dr. Bettelheim, who, himself,
was imprisoned in the Buchen-
wald and Dachau concentration
camps in' 1938 and 1939," be-
lieves that most Jews believed
too strongly in the fact tha
their life would always go o
as usual. They refused to f
the danger signals that

praparations for the h
that were to come.

because for us too, it denies im-
plicitly that Auschwitz ever ex-

there was never an Auschwitz."

Joseph L.
joined on Sunday evening, at a
dinner at Northwood Inn, in hon-
oring Lawrence Gubow, Michigan
Corporation and Securities Com-
missioner, and in presenting him
with a citation in recognition of
his many communal services, and
especially for his efforts to pre-
vent discrimination by real estate
brokers.
The dinner was arranged by
JWV Post No. 135. Bud Blum
presided and the guest speaker
was the national JWV command-
er, I. L. Feuer, of Youngstown,
0., who joined in paying honor
to Gubow.
The JWV 1960 Award for
Outstanding Service presented
to Gubow stated in pait: "By
his outright action he has add-
ed new dignity and significance
to the appeal of American
ideals to the peoples. of the
world. His impressive record
as a soldier in uniform is
matched oy his performance as
a civilian soldier."
was convinced that the ruling he
issued, which is now being tested
in the courts, was the right one
and that"we will be upheld."
Describing the Grosse Pointe
point system he charged that it
carried out the wishes not of
property sellers but of real estate
brokers who are licensed by his
commission, and he added that
his ruling was against the latter
and was not aimed at property.
owners.
He reviewed some of the prac-
tices which he had ruled out as
discriminatory and told of preju-
dices practiced against 'Poles,
Jews, Greeks and others.
"Race and bigotry have no
boundaries," Gubow said "I
am convinced that my ruling
was needed.. We are dealing
with equality of treatment
equality of opportunity, and no
state should issue • a license to
anyone giving 'aim the right
to deny equal opportunities to
anyone. I pledge that we will
see to it that all the people
will enjoy the rights given
them by our Constitution, be-
cause America can only be
strong if we have true brother.
hood and justice for all."
The citation praised Gubow
for "his vigor and steadfastness."
Blum, making the presentation,
told of Gubow's courageous ac-
tion in defying those who tried
to impose a 'point system in se.:
letting residents for the Grosse
Feuer, in his address, called

his JWV colleague as a man of attention to the medal awarded
principle who fought against to Gubow by the national JWV
convention, in Miami Beach, in
bigotry and prejudice.
