ADL Chief Suggests League Take 2nd Look at Strong Stand on Church-State School Issue NEW YORK (JTA) — Dore Schary, chairman of the Anti-De- famation League of Bnai Brith, called upon the ADL here Sunday to re-examine its traditionally strong stand regarding the prin- ciple of the separation of church from state, especially as that is- sue relates to education. Schary made that proposal in addressing the 54th annual meet- ing of its national commissioners, which concluded its policy-making deliberations Monday. Other principal matters before the current session included ad- dresses by Philip M. Klutznick, honorary president of Bnai Brith, Benjamin R. Epstein, ADL na- tional director, and Arnold R. Forster, ADL general counsel; a report showing that the Ku Klux Klan has increased its strength in the South in the last year from 20,000 members to 50,000; and an- other report disclosing that Mexico City has now become the center for the publication and widespread Latin American distribution of anti-Semitic books in Spanish. The ADL chairman said that the educational needs of the country demand an inspection of the U. S. Jewish position on state-church re- lations today because an educa- tional church-state alliance might produce fewer dangers than those "inherent in perpetuating poverty by failing to provide those educa- tional services whereby today's children will be equipped to earn a living as adults." DANNY RASKIN UN. 4-6868 10235 W. 6 MILE Klutznick, former U.S. ambas- sador to the United Nations, who, in addition to being honor- ary president of Bnai Brith, is also honorary vice president of the ADL, told the commissioners that the expanded role of gov- ernment in social welfare fields will do as much to reshape the programs of Jewish vokntary organizations in America as did the European holocaust and the rebirth of Israel. He held that "dramatic shifts" in government responsibility make necessary "an intelligent, independent probing of realities and poten- tials" for nongovernment agen- cies. Questioning the depth of ad- vancement in Jewish religious cul- ture and education, Klutznick not- ed that one of the principal de- terrents to greater development has been the priority accorded to physical survival. With that prior- ity lifted, he said, Jewish volun- tary organizations can concen- trate more on Jewish education for youth, the training of much needed teachers and youth lead- ers and the creation of curricula attuned to modern Jewish needs. The commissioners heard ad- dresses by U.S. Sen. Jacob K. Ja- vits and New York State Supreme Court Justice J. Irwin Shapiro, and Sunday night, presented its America's Democratic Legacy Award to Undersecretary of State Nicholas deB. Katzenbach. Javits, alluding to fears express- ed by many Jews in northern cities that Negroes were becoming anti- Semitic, said "We must uphold justice in society and not do it for any thanks, notwithstanding what the Negroes may think of us . . . The fate of any minority," he said, "is the fate of all minorities in SMALL BEQUESTS BUILD A STRONG ISRAEL If the tradition of including the Jewish National Fund in the Will of every Jew were invariably followed, sufficient resources would be accumulated to ensure the future of the young Jewish State on a sound basis of land development, social welfare, and justice. A bequest to the Jewish National Fund should be as traditional as having a Blue Box in one's home. You may want your bequest to be dedi- cated to afforestation, to a village, a hachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of permanent tribute in the names of persons dear to you.
