Bnai Brith _President _Label Katz Will World Jewish Congress Seeks Address '61 Campaign Closing Dinner Witnesses to Destruction of Ghetto Label A. Katz of . New Or: leans, president of Bnai Brith, will be speaker at the closing dinner of the 1961 Allied Jew- ish Campaign 6:30 p.m. May 3 at the Jewish Center, an- nounces Paul Zuckerman, Cam- paign chairman. Katz is the youngest man ever to hold the office since the Jewish service organization —today the world's largest— was founded in 1843. He was 40 when elected in May, 1959, at a triennial convention in Jeru- salem. Katz' participation in Jewish communal activities include membership on the National Cabinet of the United Jewish Appeal; the executive commit- tee of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds; the board of directors of United Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) ; the board of the Amer- ican Association of Jewish Edu- cation, and as a vice chairman of the Joint Defense Appeal. Workers and leaders in the Campaign held the last report meeting before the closing din- ner this afternoon. At the meeting, the chairmen of leading sections of each of the Campaign's seven trade and professional divisions; its Women's, Junior and Metropoli- tan Divisions, were honored. More than 2;500 Campaign workers are making an inten- sive two-week effort to cover all Campaign slips before the closing dinner. Zuckerman again empha- sized that there is to be no clean-up of • Campaign cards. "We owe it to the Campaign I LABEL KATZ and to the contributor to so- licit each pledge patiently and carefully," he said. "I want each giver to be en- couraged to ask about the serv- ices his Campaign dollar per- forms." Zuckerman said that nine out of every ten gifts to the Cam- paign have been for the same amount or more than the las year's gifts. "There is an increased mand for service on all f this year and our contrib are responding with incr giving," Zuckerman said. He emphasized areas of cal service that the Campaig supports. The Fresh 'Air So- ciety provided a three-week summer vacation for 1,600 children, half of whom were on whole or partial camp Call Miami Rulings 'Victory for Religious .Freedom' according to a joint AJCongress- ACLU statement, "signal a his- toric advance in the effort to protect the public school child from invasions of. his religious conscience, a protection em- bedded in the separation of principle of the First Amend- ment. This is not an attack on religion per se, or the 'free ex- ercise thereof' clause of the First Amendment, as those who oppose this suit have claimed," the statement declared. The statement noted that "in ruling that the Bible may be read in school without com- ment, Judge Gordon made clear that 'there is nothing in the Florida law that requires a stu- dent be told that it is a quote from the. Bible or that the stu- dent should be told from what book or verse the quotation was taken.' Particularly signifi- cant," the two organizations commented, "was the judge's statement that 'if so, it might be considered sectarian com- ment, which is forbidden by the Statute and the court is not passing on that point of law.' "Judge Gordon made clear," the AJCongress-ACLU state- ment added, "that he based his ruling upholding Bible reading on the finding of fact that 'there is no evidence before the court except• in an isolated incident that any comment or explana- ttion was made on the verse read from the Bible and there is express restriction in the act itself from so doing'." "We note," the statement added, "that the decision did d-mark rulings," not hold Bible readings per se to be a breach of the wall of separation between church and state.

NEW YORK, (JTA)—At- torneys for the American Jew- ish Congress and the American Civil Liberties Union, today termed "a victory for religious freedom" three key rulings in the decision of a Dade County, Fla., court in Miami's 'religion- in-the schools case. At the same time, they an- nounced they would appeal other parts of An opinion by Circuit Judge J. Fritz Gordon that upheld Bible reading and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public schools. The appeal on thes,e sections of the decision will be vigorously pressed, the two organizations said, "because of our belief that these practices violate the church-state separation princi- ple of the First Amendment." The AJ Congress and ACLU, which represented five parents in challenging sectarian prac- tices in the Miami schools, said they were "highly gratified" at these "precedent-making rulings by Judge Gordon: "1. For the first time' in American history, a court has probhited sectarian holiday ob- servances in public schools such as those depicting the Nativity and Crucifixion of Jesus. "2.

The Jewish Home for Aged cares for more than 300 men and women, whose average age is 84 years, each month. Sixty additional older persons living in their own homes come to the Home daily to share in all of its activities. The Jewish Vocational Serv- ice interviewed more than 2,000 people with employment and vocational problems. More than a quarter of the people inter- viewed were adolescents. The Community Workshop studied the employment pos- sibilities of 100 people with severe physical, intellectual and emotional problems. Five thousand children and adults used Camp Tamarack on a year-'round basis last year. The Hebrew Free Loan Asso- ciatimi advanced $79,000 in in- terest free loans to 236 people for emergency business or per- sonal help. An 'average of 175 older adults attend the Jewish Community Center daily.

Eleven thousand days of care were provided for medically indigent patients at Sinai Hos- pital and 37,000 visits were made to the Shiffman Clinic. All this service is in just one area, Health and Welfare, and doesn't even deal with the more than 3,000 students who receive Jewish education through the United Hebrew Schools and the work of our Jewish Community Council, Zuckerman said.
