WASHINGTON — Assistant Sec-
retary of State Lucius Battle Tues-
day urged the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to defeat leg-
islation that would prohibit im-
portation of Egyptian cotton and
stressed that such a ban would un-
dermine United States diplomatic
plans in the Middle East.
Two Senators took sharp issue
with Battle's position in testimony
before - a closed meeting of the
committee. Battle did not want his
testimony made public. A Senator
disclosed, however, that the State
Department "is still anxious to
curry favor with Nasser."

their stand after the meeting were

Gold served as president of the
National Association of Jewish
Center workers, National Confer-
ence of Jewish Communal Service
and the Association of Jewish Com-
munal Executives. He also has
been vice president of the Amer-
ican Association of Group Workers
and chairman of the Governor's
Advisory Committee on Children
and Youth in California.
In a recent address to a 25th
anniversary meeting of the Los
Angeles Jewish Centers Associa-
tion, Gold said the Jewish Center
movement has been challenged to
meet the current "crisis of so-
ciety" by discarding the theory
that Jewish centers should be a
"vast playground" and establish
instead programs of study- and
action.
He declared also that Jewish
youth was non-intellectual and non-
cultural in Jewish terms and that
traditional liberalism had been re-
jected by Jewish youth activists.
He told the meeting that, among
the non - activist Jewish youth,
there was a withdrawal from
reality into mysticism and use of
drugs.
