Publishers Fight Becker Amendment, Jane Nancy Carnick Back Civil Rights, Ask Ratification of to Wed Chicagoan Genocide Convention, Hit USSR Bias Special to The Jewish News NEW YORK — The American Jewish Press Association, at its convention here last week-end, took a strong stand in support of the civil rights bill pending in Congress; urged the defeat of the Becker Amendment that would negate the Supreme Court rulings on religion in the schools; appeal- ed to the U. S. Senate to ratify the UN Genocide Convention and registered concern over the status of the Jews in Russia. The convention paid honor to one of its former presidents, Jacques Back, on his 30th anniver- sary as editor of the Observer of Nashville. Tenn. It also honored the Jewish Ledger of Hartford on its 35th anniversary. Morris Janoff of Jersey City was re-elected president. Albert W. Golomb, Pittsburgh, Mrs. Samuel Neus- ner, Hartford, a n d Martin Korik, Atlan- tic City, were elected vice- presi d ents; Jimmy Wisch, Dallas, secre- tary; Eliaz R. Jacobs, Buf- falo, treasur- er; J. J. Cum- mins, Los An- geles, chair- man of adver- tising; Albert Bloom, Pitts- burgh, editor- Morris Janoff M ial chairman; Conrad Eisenberg, Worcester, Mass., membership. A number of national leaders addressed the convention. At a brief session at the American- Israel Pavilion at the World's Fair, the delegates conferred with Nathan Straus III, chairman of the pavilion corporation. Addresses also were delivered by Boris Smolar and Victor Bien- stock of the JTA and Nathan Zip- rin of Seven Arts. American Jewish communi- ties and their leaders were ad- monished here this week that unless they assure a strong English-Jewish press and thereby strengthen commun ications among Jews there will be an in- creasing cause for concern over the ability of U.S. Jewry to sur- vive. The warning was made at the convention of the Jewish pub- lishers by Philip Slomovitz, editor of The Detroit Jewish News. Re- ferring to the new volume "Inter- marriage." by Dr. Albert Gordon and the article in Look magazine, "The - Vanishing American Jew," Slomovitz charged that the lessen- ing Jewish interests are due in great measure to a lack of knowl- edge about the Jewish position in the world occasioned by limited communication. He told the con- vention of the American Jewish Press Association that in only a very few communities are there flourishing English-Jewish papers that can reach all ages of Jewish readers and that the lack of inter- est in the Jewish press by Jewish national movements is the most determined aspect of present-day Jewish experience. Slomovitz said that an optimis- tic occurrence is the increasing in- terest now being shown in the work of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency which he described as a most vital factor on Jewish sur- vival efforts. Mrs. Rose L. Halprin, chairman of the Jewish Agency American THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, May 1, 1964 24 Section, addressed the meeting. She reported on the Actions Com- mittee meetings in Jerusalem and gave a picture of Zionism through- out the world today.
