American to reject the re-
ligious prejudice charges
against Carter in a New
York Times Op-Ed Page
article in May. That arti-
cle was referred to and
discussed in . Purely
Commentary, The Jewish
News, on June 18.
Abram, whose audience
included a cross rep-
resentation of the Jewish
community, made this
point to emphasize that
Carter, a deeply religious
man, has no prejudices
and, on the contrary,
would -fight to a finish to
oppose and prevent pre-
judices against any other
religious group
The emphasis by Abram
also was in relation to what
some describe as "suspi-
cions - of Baptist attitudes.
Abram declared emphati-
cally that the Baptists
have gained and retain
adherence to a basic ideal
— that of Church-State
Separation as an inaliena-
ble American commit-
ment.
Abram, who was born
in Georgia, 80 miles from
the Carter birthplace, de-
clared that Carter had
consistently refused to
join any White Christian
Council, the group being
known as anti-Catholic,
anti-Jewish and anti-
black.
Further, he declared
that "Carter as governor
was the governor of all
the people and the first to
make blacks the equals,"

and he named several in-
stances of anti-Semites
and anti-blacks having
been fired from positions
in Georgia to be replaced
by Carter with Jews and
blacks.
Sander Levin, who was
one of the participants in

Abram and his views as "a
fascination for us in the
North because a South-
erner so well represents
the true liberalism of our
nation.**
