More Clubs End
Anti-Jewish Acts
Dr. Sabin Guest Speaker Saturday
at Dinner in Honor of Dr. Kahn
More social and prestige clubs
have ended discriminatory policies
barring Jewish members during,
the past five years than in the pre-
vious 60 years of this century, ac-
cording to an American Jewish
Committee report.
The most significant advances
have been those achieved in the
nation's 28 university clubs. In
1960, according to the AJC pam-
phlet, only two of these had any
Jews on their rolls but by 1965
"13 university clubs had dispensed
or were about to dispense with the
discriminatory process."
However, even in view of these
gains, the report charges that these
clubs remain an area of American
life where social discrimination is
deeply entrenched and "has re-
tained a pronounced reluctance
to act against discriminatory prac-
tices." This is contrasted to dis-
crimination barring Jewish stu-
dents from fraternities, which "has
largely passed into history"; and
the "shrinking number of neighbor-
hoods that discriminate against
Jewish residents."
The 28-page pamphlet, "The
Unequal Treatment of Equals," ex-
plores the total picture of social-
club discrimination in the United
States. It was written by Dr. John
Slawson, executive vice president
of the committee, and Lawrence
Bloomgarden, director of the com-
mittee's business and industry
division.
A distinguished gathering of De-
troiters—physicians and laymen—
will join this Saturday night in
honoring Dr. Reuben L. Kahn in
whose honor a laboratory in im-
munology is being established by
the Hebrew University Physicians
Committee at the medical school
in Jerusalem.
The dinner, at the Statler 1111-
ton, at which Dr. and Mrs. Kahn
WALTHAM, Mass. (JTA) — A
$250,000 gift by Peter Volid, a
Chicago businessman, toward the
establishment of a $400,000 pro-
fessional chair in economics at
Brandeis University, was announced
by Dr. Abram L. Sachar, president
of the university.
Dr. Sachar said that the gift
will be supplemented by a $150,000
grant from the Ford Foundation
under the terms of a matching,
grant made to Brandeis to encour-
age the establishment of chairs,
fellowships and scholarships. The
first incumbent of the Peter Volid
Chair in Economics will be named
shortly, Dr. Sachar said.

`Imported' Nazis
Add to Argentine
Jewry's Dangers
NEW YORK—A review of the
situation of Argentinian Jewry
today was given by two Buenos
Aires Jewish leaders at a dinner
in their honor here under the
auspices of the American Section
of the World Jewish Congress.
Gregorio Fainguersch, president
of the Buenos Aires Jewish Com-
munity and of the Argentinian
Federation of Jewish Communities,
and Gregorio Faigon, vice presi-
dent of DATA, the central repre-
sentative body of Argentinian
Jewry, discussed the impact of
Argentinian government action in
curtailing anti-Semitic activities
and surveyed some of the major
issues confronting the Jewish com-
munity in its efforts to strengthen
Jewish life throughout Argentina.
The DAIA leader said that
while the government and people
of Argentina were not anti-
Semitic, there were three sources
of anti-Jewish manifestations in
the country: "imported" Nazis,
reactionary church elements, and
hostile Arab League represent-
atives. Governmental action
against local Nazi elements and
in barring an inflammatory Arab
League envoy had made an im-
provement in the situation.
Faigon, noting that Nazi publica-
tions were being circulated in
Argentina and throughout Latin
America, said that anti-Semitism
continued to exist, and it was es-
sential that public opinion should
be aware of this.
Fainguersch depicted the areas
of activity of the Buenos Aires
council and said that there had
been a marked development in
the extension of the Jewish day-
school system in the Argentinian
capital. But he noted a dearth of
rabbis and teachers for community
institutions and schools and he
hoped that rabbinical authorities
would take heed of the situation.
The Israel government operates
a total of 44 clinics for Arab and
Druse citizens. The clinics serve
70 villages with a total population
of 85,000.
