NEW YORK.—The "coming of
age" of the younger generation
of -American Jewish communal
leaders was hailed. by Joseph
Meyerhoff, general chairman of
the United Jewish Appeal, at the
second annual UJA Young Lead-
ership Conference at the Wal-
dorf-Astoria Hotel.
"In the short year since our
historic first Young Leadership
Conference," he told 300 dele-
gates, aged 25 to 35 years, "young
leaders like you have come dra-
matically to the fore in support
f philanthropic activities in your
me areas and abroad. You have
emonstrated conclusively that
you are ready to carry on the
great global humanitarian work
begun by your fathers 23 years
ago, when they organized the
United Jewish Appeal."
Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman,
UJA executive vice chairman,
told the delegates that the stimu-
lation of a creative flourishing of
Jewish life in the United States
and Israel is the growing respon-
sibility of the younger generation
of leadership.
Tracing the course of Jewish
migration since 1880, Rabbi
Friedman stressed the impor-
tance of Israel in the task of
reconstructing Jewish life at
the close of World War II.
The remarks of the two UJA
officials climaxed three days of
meetings and seminars, at which
the assembled young leaders
heard other outstanding speakers
and reports-in-depth on the global
operations of the United Jewish
Appeal's member agencies. A
total of 600,000 men, women and
children will be aided by the
1962 UJA campaign, it was dis-
closed, half of them in Israel.
Edward M. M. Warburg, UJA
honorary national chairman and
chairman of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee, declared at the
conference that the younger gen-
eration of American Jewish com-
munal leaders must now take a
full share of the primary respon-
sibility of translating worldwide
Jewish need into effective com-
munity action.
— The delegates voted unani-
mously to send a second fact-
finding Youth Leadership Mis-
sion to Europe and Israel, to
take place next Spring. James
Nobil, of Akron, 0., reported
on the findings of the first Mis-
sion which studied overseas
Jewish need last June. The
motion for the Mission was
made by Irwin Field of Encino,
Calif., former Detroiter.
The continuing immigration to
Israel was characterized by Gott-
lieb Hammer, executive vice-
chairman of the Jewish Agency
for Israel, Inc., as "an ongoing
historic opportunity for your gen-
eration of American Jews as you
begin to take over the reins of
leadership."
Moses A. Leavitt, executive
vice-chairman of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee, who analyz-
ed problems facing the programs
of that UJA member agency out-
side of Israel, said: "In six Mos-
lem countries of North Africa and
the Near East, nearly one-fourth
of the Jewish population receives
C assistance, including feeding
grams, medical care and a
r-riety of other aid. Depressed
economic conditions in some areas
have made our programs more
vital than ever before. This trend
may well continue and, with
deepening need developing in
European areas as well, we will
find ourselves hard-pressed if our
budgetary requirements are not
met through UJA in 1962."
Theodore Kollek, director gen-
eral of the Israel Prime Minis-
ters' Office, commended the deci-
sion to organize a second Mission.
Dr. Morris Adler, rabbi of
Shaarey Zedek, Detroit, led
delegates in Sabbath devo-
tions at the leadership con-
ference. Some 300 young coin-
' munity leaders attended the
conference.
During his sermon Rabbi
Adler called upon the young

leaders to do their utmost to
follow in the footsteps of their
fathers who began the work of
the United Jewish Appeal dur-
ing the Hitler period, and
stressed the importance of new
leadership b eing developed
throughout the nation's commu-
nities to carry on the humani-
tarian work of the UJA. -
Rabbi Adler is a member of
the executive committee of the
Rabbinical Advisory Council of
the United Jewish Appeal and
has been nominated to serve as
chairman for 1962. He was the
first U. S. Army Chaplain to
enter- Japan after the cessation
of hostilities in World War II.
Rabbi Adler also is well-known
as chief of the Public Review
Board of the United Auto Work-
ers, the -"supreme court" of the
UAW for intra-union disputes.

JERUSALEM—The Israel gov-
ernment's grant Tuesday of reli-
gious autonomy to the country's
20,000 Druze was hailed by 60
leaders of the group at a recep-
tion by President Ben-Zvi.
