THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Anti-Israel Council's Attack
Repudiated by Five Members

A Council for Judaism attack on Israel with a charge of "aggres-
;ion," calling American Jewry's response to the Israel Emergency
Fund "hysteria," brought repudiation from five of its prominent
members.
Rabbi Elmer Berger, former Pontiac and Flint rabbi and an
organizer of the anti-Islael-anti-Zionist Council, listed in his state-
ment to the New York Times last Sunday, many prominent Jews who
are associated with him and who in his opinion "obviously are not
wild radicals." Thereupon he was repudiated by the following:
Donald S. Kopfer, vice chairman of Random House; Joseph H.
Louchheim, deputy commissioner in charge of the State Department
of Social Welfare's New York City division; John Mosier, chairman
of the Mosier Safe Co.; Walter N. Rothschild Jr., president of Abraham
& Straus, and Stanley Marcus, president of Neiman-Marcus Co. of
Dallas, Tex.
These men or their spokesmen repudiated the AJCouncil's claims •
as enunciated by Berger and emphasized their current sympathy for
Israel.
Kopfer, Louchheim and Mosier immediately resigned from the
anti-Israel council. In behalf of Rothschild, Sidney L. Solomon, execu-
tive officer of Abraham & Straus, said he knew Rothschild had
contributed to the Israel Emergency Fund.

Parley Seeks Unity of Action to Assist Jews in Arab Lands

ROME (JTA) — Coordinated
efforts for action to restore the
civil and economic rights, relief
and emigration of Jews in Arab
countries were agreed on at a
meeting of the International Coun-
cil on Jewish Social and Welfare
Services, Murray I. Gurfein of
New York, chairman, said Monday
after the meeting.
Gurfein, former president of
United Hias Service, said that the

Jews in Arab countries "must not
be forgotten in this crisis." It
was noted that in some Arab
countries, the governments had
acted to maintain law and order
for Jewish nationals during the
hysteria of the June Arab-Israeli
war and the impact of the Israeli
victory on the populations of the
Arab countries but that others
had permitted "shameful treat-
ment" of their Jewish nationals.

generosity which is being offered them" and that the "few instances"

Police said that he had con-
fessed his first assignment was to
place explosives in Haifa and then
to go to Tel Aviv to repeat the
action. Police said he was born
in Acre and fled to Jordan during
the 1948 war. Later he moved to
Syria where he attended a univer-

Samir also was charged with
intent to spy. He was given a de-

court. Under existing law, he is
liable to capital punishment, under
one of the few remaining Israeli
laws carrying that penalty on con-
viction. He was then remanded to
