Strike of 1,000 Employes Continues
Against 6 Jewish Social Agencies

Association, Jewish Com-
munity Services of Long
Island, Jewish Family Service
and Louise Wise Services.
A spokesman for the agen-
cies' joint committee said that
"we feel we have made the
most generous offer for a new
contract of any industry in the
United States." He accused the
union of failing to provide
skeleton services for crisis cases.
A union spokesman rejected
the contention as to the value
of the joint committee offer,
charging that beginning scales
for social workers offered were
$200 a year below salaries for
comparable levele paid by New
York City.
He also said that the union
had offered in writing to pro-
vide emergency services and
that the joint committee had
ignored the offer.

NEW YORK (JTA)—Union
and New York Jewish social
agency spokesmen exchanged
charges this week as a strike
of 1,000 employees against six
of the agencies remained in a
complete deadlock.
Social workers, psychologists,
homemakers, clerical and secre-
tarial workers and maintenance
workers, struck the agencies
Feb. 19 after a joint committee
made the union "a final offer."
They are members of the
Community and Social Agency
Employees Union, local 1707,
AFL-CIO.
The struck agencies, all
constituents of the Federation
of Jewish Philanthropies of
New York, are the Astro

2 Jewish Institutions Beaueathed
$1.8 Million by Baltimore Woman

BALTIMORE, (JTA) — Two
constituent agencies of the As-
sociated Jewish Charities here
—Sinai Hospital and the Levin-
dale Hebrew Home and Infirm-
ary—have been bequeathed gifts
that will total at least $1.8 mil-
lion, according to an announce-
ment by Harry Greenstein, ex-
ecutive director of the AJC.
The bequests, constituting the
largest gifts ever received le
each of the agencies, were left
ft
in the will of the late Mrs.
Nelson Gutman, who died last
September.
Greenstein said that the ex-
ecutors of the will estimate
the hospital will receive at
least $1.35 million, while the
home will get a minimum of
$450,000 from Mrs. Gutman's
bequests.
The gifts, he said, represent
a "continuing interest" in both
agencies on behalf of the donor
and her late husband, Nelson
Gutman.
Sinai Hospital is a $22-million

medical center -here, serving
more than 100,000 patients an-
nually on a nonsectarian basis.
I It _has ,476 beds. and 93 bassi-
' . nets.
The Levindale Home, in
which the Gutman family had
long shown interest through
sizable contributions, is a 275-
bed hospital for- chronic dis-
eases, where about 60 per cent
of the patients contribute noth-
ing for maintenance except for
re c eipts from Social Security or
welfare pensions.

Action on Bible Reading

Group Urges UN
to Extend • Anti-Racist
Treaty to Russ Jews

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA) — A proposal that a
draft United Nations Conven-
tion on the Elimination of All
Forms of Racial Discrimination,
being debated here now by the
Commission on Human Rights,
expand its protections to in-
clude ethnic groups that are
denied equal rights, was pre-
sented to the commission by
Label A. Katz, international
president of Bnai Brith.
Katz made the proposal on
behalf of the Coordinating
Board of Jewish Organizations,
which represents both Bnai
Brith and the Board of Deputies
of British Jews, and has con-
sultative status before the
commission.
-
The CBJO proposal indi-
cated clearly that its aim is
to extend the draft conven-
tion's rights to Soviet Jewry,
but did not name the USSR.
It noted that the draft now
under discussion failed to
refer "to the right of ethnic
groups to conduct educational
activities, including the main-
tenance of schools and the
teaching of their own langu-
age," thus pointing directly
to the suppression of Yiddish
and Hebrew cultural activi-
ties in the Soviet Union.
The document, referring to
the Soviet Union obliquely,
pointed out "the need to guard
against sad experiences in the
contemporary world where an
ethnic group in a multinational
society is deprived of, means of
cultural_ expression, including
the use of its own educational
institutions and language."
Another proposal made by
the CBJO requested that the
draft convention's articles of
implementation give the right
of filing complaints not only to
member governments of the
United Nations but also to in-
dividuals, groups or nongovern-
mental organizatiOns that have
UN consultative status.
The draft against racism is
expected to be adopted by the
commission within the next 10
days. The next item on the
agenda is one banning religious
discrimination.

Egyptian May Chair Conference
on World Trade Under UN Auspices

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Egypt's
Finance Minister El-Kaissuni is
expected to chair the Confer-
ence on World Trade. under the
auspices of the United Nations,
March 23 at Geneva.
T h e conference, convened
after a resolution adopted by
the General Assembly, will deal
with the problems arising out of
the existing gap between de-
veloped a n d underdeveloped
countries.
Large delegations of experts
are expected from the world's
capitals on both sides of the
Iron Curtain. Ten top Israeli of-
ficials also will attend.
El - Kaissuni's candidacy is
being actively sponsored by the
United States, according to chief
JTA correspondent Joshua H.
Justman.
"If there is a member of the
UN unfit for such an honor,"
Justman writes, "it surely is
Egypt, a country that leads an
economic boycott against a fel-
low member of the United Na-
tions; a country that for more
than 10 years is failing to abide
by a resolution of the Security

Council and continues her ille-
gal blockade of the Suez Canal
against Israel . . .; a country
whose own economy is being
built on a system of unilateral
confiscations and expropriation_
And one should add: a country
whose demonstrated interest in
the new countries has so far
been one of fomenting unrest in
the pursuance of Mr. Nasser's
quest for ceremony over the
African continent."
