AJ Congress Official Urges Creation
of Jewish-Black Urban Coalition
WASHINGTON (JTA )—Richa rd
Ravitch, chairman of the American
Jewish Congress commission on
urban affairs, told the 500 dele-
gates attending the national bien-
nial convention here last weekend
that hostility between Jews and
Blacks was caused by "a society
that fails to allocate sufficient
resources to meet its human
needs."
Ravitch, who is also president
of the New York Citizens Housing
and Planning Council, said that
when jobs, housing and educa-
tional opportunities are in short
supply, the result is "a fierce
rivalry, competition and inter-
group tension." He called for a
"broad-based coalition" of Jews,
Blacks and organized labor to
demand more government funds
for the solution of urban problems.
Sanford Solender, executive
vice president of the Federation
of Jewish Philanthropies of New
York, declared that Jewish or-
ganizations 'should share their
vast body of experience with
groups in the black conununity

The group's annual convention at
London, Ont., was boycotted by
former members of its executive

Sponsorship of the convention

Prof. Haggar was joined in his I
