NEW YORK (JTA)—President
Johnson was asked Sunday by the
American Jewish Congress to de-
clare a "national domestic emer-
gency" to deal with the nation's
urban crisis. Presidential action
was urged in the face of what was
termed "ominous evidence that
racial tension, crime and violence
will continue until proper housing,
schools, training and jobs are avail-
able to all."
The American Jewish Congress
also hailed the appointment of
John W. Gardner, retiring secre-
tary of health, education and wel-
fare as head of the Urban Coali
tion "to help fight poverty and
urban decay through the private
sector and voluntary agencies."
The actions came at a meeting of
the organization's national govern-
ing council, its top policy-making
body.
The group heard Arthur D.
Morse, author of "While Six

grams "consciously and clearly
calculated to increase Jewish
knowledge and commitment."
