Chess Champ Shows Winning Ways
A call for large-scale federal aid
for public education was combined
with strong opposition to major
features of the pending federal aid
to education bill in a joint state-
ment made public last weekend by
six major national Jewish organi-
zations.
The stand was taken by the
American Jewish Congress, Jewish
Labor Committee, Jewish War
Veterans of the U.S.A., National
Council of Jewish Women, Union
of American Hebrew Congregations
and United Synagogue of America.
In their statement, the organiza-
tions welcomed the assistance to
public education in improverished
areas that the administration bill
would provide, and expressed the
hope that "more nearly adequate"
aid would be forthcoming in the
future.
Their objections to the bill
center on its benefits to non-
public, including religiously con-
trolled, schools and its specifica-
tions requiring that such schools
and other non-public institutions
and agencies be made partici-
pants in the planning and opera-
tion of various programs and
services.

These provisions endanger the
future of public education and
violate the constitutional prohibi-
tion of the use of public funds to
support religious institutions and
enterprises, the statement of the
Jewish group asserts.
Taking exception to this view,
Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson,
head of the ultra-Orthodox Luba-
vitcher Hassidic sect, said that
Jewish people who do not sup-
port President Johnson's pro-
posals for federal aid to educa-
tion are "misguided?'
Rabbi Schneerson said it is "the
moral duty of every Jew to do his
utmost" to see that the program

government interference can re-
ject any assistance, he said, "but
they have no right whatever to

A new, enlarged, 1,100-page edi-
tion of " Who's Who in World
Jewry," containing biographical
sketches of over 11,000 Jews
throughout the world, was pub-
lished by the David McKay • Com-
pany, Inc., Thursday, it was an-
nounced by Dr. Harry Cohen, hon-
orary president of the project.
The new edition, edited by
Harry Schneiderman and I. J. Car-
min Karpman, includes biographi-
cal sketches of about 8,000 Ameri-
cans, 1,600 Israelis, and, in all,
includes representatives of 70
countries.
Of the 11,000 biographies, the
largest group is in sciences and
medicine, slightly over 2,000. The
breakdown of other groups in-
cluded in the new "Who's Who"
are over 1,600 in commerce and
industry, almost 1,400 in law, in-
PENN
eluding 110 judges, 1,600 college
professors and educators, almost
1,000 rabbis, 1,500 in the arts, a
little less than half of whom are
writers and the other half musi-
cians, artists, sculptors and actors,
almost 1,000 public officials, and
nearly 400 social and communal
workers.
Of the almost 8,000 Americans
listed in the new "Who's Who,"
over 5,000 are native born with
the remaining 3,000 born abroad,
mainly in Central and Eastern
Europe. The largest single age
group of Americans is in the age
group between 45 and 50.
Of the 11,000 persons included
in the "Who's Who," a little less
than 3,000, about 25 per cent, are
women.
