Training Program to Fill
Key Executive Posts

NEW YORK (JTA) — The New
York Federation of Jewish Philan-

thropies has started an effort to
help fill the gap in training pro-
grams for executive positions in
Jewish federations and their
affiliated agencies. The two-year
program will combine supplemen-
tary education in a university
setting with field experience in all
aspects of federation work—plan-
ning, fund-raising and administra-
tion.
Graenum Berger, consultant on
Jewish centers to the federation.
will give a weekly seminar at the
federation as part of the training
program. He will do so in his cap-
acity as director of the William E.
Weiner Educational Center, a fed-
eration institution, through which
the executive training program is
to be implemented.
Candidates must be at least 28
and must have completed the
equivalent of a masters degree in
any field, plus three years of work
experience, as well as a solid Jew-
ish background.

Chicago Council Asked
to Seek Ban on Hate Calls

CHICAGO (JTA)—Two aldermen
have asked the Chicago City Coun-
cil to investigate means by which
state laws could be used to make
the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. re-
fuse racist recorded messages
after one such message was ban-
ned at the request of a United
States attorney.
The Sentinel, an English-Jewish
weekly, raised the issue over a
message which the weekly charged
openly called for extinction of Ne-
groes and Jews. It purportedly had
been arranged by the National So-
cialist White People's Party, suc-
cessor to the defunct American
Nazi Party of the late George Lin-
coln Rockwell.
Donald Sharp. vice president and
general counsel of the telephone
firm, told the City Council corn-
mittee on utilities that "we cannot
dictate or censor the contents of
any message."
The recording was then banned
at the request of U.S. Attorney
Thomas A. Foran. Alderman Paul
T. Wigoda and Ralph H. Metcalfe,
in asking for the probe by the
council's committee on utilities,
indicated that there should be spe-
cific legal means to bar such mes-
sages.

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Nation.
al Conference of Christians and
Jews has opened an account in the
Freedom National Bank of New
York which is Negro owned and
operated, in the first such action
by the organization to help provide
funds for loans for Negro enter-
prises. Dr. Sterling B. Brown,
NCCJ president, presented a check
for $25,000 to William R. Hudgins,
president of the bank.
The presentation was made at a
meeting of the Interracial Collo-
quy, a group of 40 black, white and
Puerto Rican leaders who have
met monthly for more than two
years to discuss race relation prob-
lems in the Greater New York
area. It is cosponsored by the
NCCJ, the National Urban League,
the NAACP and the American
Jewish Committee. Dr. Brown and
Hudgins are members. The money
was deposited in a checking rather
than a savings account, since the
latter would have required pay-
ment of interest to the NCCJ.

Dover Issues Russian, Arabic Lexicons

Because Russia and the Arab
states are so vital in world
affairs today, two paperback dic-
tionaries issued by Dover Publi-
cations are of special importance
today and will prove most valuable
for language students, travelers
and those viewing world affairs.
While there is no substitute for
practice as the ultimate teacher,
materials designed to develop
familiarity and fluency are an
invaluable resource for the lan-
guage student. Just such a tool is
"A Fundamental Dictionary of
Russian" by B. G. Anpilogova
and others in the Dover paperback.
The core of this book is a se-
lected vocabulary consisting of the
3.000 most commonly used Rus-
sian words. Included in each
entry are helpful grammatical
details, such as keys to conjug-
ation, gender, peculiarities in
formation of the imperative, past
tense and comparative forms, and
the entire declension of irregular
nouns.
The authors have combined a
basic vocabulary with the practical

press himself and put the new
words and phrases into practice.
The book is filled out by a

reference supplement of thematic

word groups.
It's hard to say when travelerS
will again be going to countries
where Arabic is spoken, but the

handiest language aid available Is
certain to be Dover's "Say It in
Arabic." The latest edition to

Dover's "say it" phrasebook series,
"Say It in Arabic," by Farouk El-

Baz, is handy, durable, pocket-siz-
ed and the only phrasebook in
print designed to aid travelers in
an Arabic-speaking country.
