NEW YORK (JTA) — Former policy on Israel reflected "confu- Senator Eugene J. McCarthy told sion and lack of clear commit- the American Jewish Congress ment." that the best chance for peace in the Middle East lay in "American Good is that which makes for support for Israel's right to secure unity; evil is that which makes and agreed borders." for separateness. —Aldous Huxley Speaking at an American Jewish Congress dinner here, Sen. Mc- Carthy declared: "Our commitment to Israel has clear legal, moral and historical bases. Our involve- ment in Southeast Asia has none of these. There is no comparison between the situations." The Minnesota Democrat, who returned last month from a visit to Israel, criticized Secretary of State William P. Rogers for sug- gesting the possibility of sending American troops t o the Middle East. He added that State Department made it possible to begin the Meyer L. Prentis Cancer Center designed by Louis G. Redstone Associates of Detroit. Alfred R. Glancy, Jr., chairman of the MCF building committee, is confident that the new building will be completed as scheduled by fall 1972. Dr. Michael J. Brennan, MCF president, pledges all the human and material resources of the Michigan Cancer Foundation in the war against cancer. MCF's research focus is on breast can- cer, the most common cause of cancer death among women. "The entire nation will share in the progress of the Michigan Can- cer Foundation's Meyer L. Prentis Cancer Center," said. Fred Hunt, chairman of the executive commit- tee of the MCF board of trustees.

Also elected at the annual meet- ing last week were Rabbi Irwin M. Blank of Tenafly, N.J., and Rabbi Joseph H. Lookstein of New York, vice presidents; Harold H. United Synagogue of America, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congre- gations of America and Union of American Hebrew Congregations. The Synagogue Council has conducted an investigation of the controversial dismissal of a Jew- ish director of pediatrics, at Lin- coln Hospital in New York,• it was revealed by the agency's retiring president, Rabbi Solo- mon J. Sharfman. Rabbi Sharfman released the text of a policy statement adopted by the Council's board which denied "a widespread impression that anti-Semitism played a major role in the dismissal." The incident occurred in November of 1970, and involved Dr. Arnold Einhorn. The policy statement notes that "not every conflict of interest arises out of anti-Semitism or out of racial bigotry." It warns the Jewish community and the black and Puerto Rican communities not to allow themselves "to be divert- ed by racial or religious divisive- ness." NEW -CADILLAC?
