Usher Kirshblum challenged the deci- sion. Reacting to the recommendation of the NEC to amend the ZOA con- stitution, Rabbi Kirshblum, who is a candidate for the ZOA presi- dency, said: "Prior to that meeting I had re- call a special meeting of the NEC in the East in order to afford a maximum number of members to attend. That request was denied. Aptgarently the president was in- terested in having a small, rather than a large, attendance. At Miami I had requested a closed ballot in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order which states, 'As the usual object of the ballot is secrecy,' ... 'any motion is out of order which members cannot oppose without exposing their views on the ques- tion to be decided by ballot.' tained a motion for an open ballot. A quorum consists of 50 mem- bers. The recommendation for amending the constitution was car- ried by 29 to 11. Not even a legal quorum participated in the vote. Thus it is quite obvious that at least 10 members abstained from voting. It was also conceded by some members of the administra- tion that had there been a closed vote at least six people would have defected to our side. Rather than feeling disheartened by the vote I was greatly encouraged and feel confident that the delegates at the convention in Los Angeles will re- ject the idea of amending our con- Mrs. Ronald Rowe (left) and Mrs. William Dillon, members of stitution for a second consecutive Kappa Iota Soro- year to suit the personal ambitions rity, present Mrs. of our president."

LETTER BOX Landsmanshaf ten Merger Needed for Survival Editor. The Jewish News: The passing of Philip Kutnick, who was dedicated to Jewish com- munal work, adds to the shrinking rosters of the landsmanshaften or- ganizations struggling for survival due to the dwindling of their mem- berships. A case in point is the Chaim Weizrnann Society, which is pre- sently striving to merge with one or more societies in order to carry on with its charitable functions. In deference to the departed mem- bers, it behooves each and every organization which is in a .pinih' to .seek a merger and thus peril tuate the ideals of the founder and members who have gone to tfie Olam haEmet. Even large orders, such as Workmen's Circle and Farband have instituted a joint program of Yiddish cultural activities, which may be the forerunner of a formal merger.
