Jewish Leaders Demand Public Censure of Gen. Brown

supported U.S. policies
aimed at that objective.
Rumsfeld said that he
had not reprimanded
Brown but did not en-
dorse the general's "in-
elegant phraseology."

its chairman, Rabbi Ale-
xander M. Schindler,
said: "We strongly be-

GEN. GEORGE BROWN
"Gen. Brown's state-
ment also represents a
dangerous intrusion of
the military into the do-
main of public policy
which our form of gov-
ernment clearly assigns
to civilian authority. We
call on the President pub-
licly to censure Gen.
Brown and to repudiate
the views he has expres-
sed lest there be any
doubt that the dangerous
course of action he re-
commends has any sanc-
tion whatsoever within
the current administra-
tion."
Carter called Brown's
interview statements "a
great disservice to our
country and to the world
AJCommittee Cites
Priest for Service
WASHINGTON — The
Rev. Edward H. Flan-
nery, who served for 10
years as executive sec-
retary of the Secretariat
for Catholic-Jewish Rela-
tions of the National Con-
ference of Catholic
Bishops, was credited by
the American Jewish
Committee with having
played a. decisive role in
shaping the excellent re-
lationship that exists
currently between the
Catholic and Jewish
communities.
Father Flannery re-
ceived the Isaiah Award
of AJCommittee's Wash-
ington Chapter which
cited him as a "distin-
guished priest, fighter for
justice, friend of the
Jewish people, servant of
humanity."
The presentation was
made by Rabbi Marc H.
Tanenbaum, AJC's na-
tional director of inter-
religious affairs, at the
chapter's annual meeting
in Washington.

. . . (they) insinuate that
Israel is an unwarranted
burden to our country
when (it) is really the
strength of democracy in
the Middle East."
Carter's Vice Presiden-
tial running mate, Sen.
Walter Mondale (D-Minn.)
recalled Brown's state-
ment at Duke University
in 1974 in which he al-
leged that Jews control
the American media and
banks. Mondale said last
night that Brown "has
made many comments
about Jewish Americans
that I think make him
unfit for (his) office."
Brown said at the press
conference Monday that
U.S. assistance to Israel
might deplete its own
military stocks. He added,
however, "that does not
mean that I disagree with
U.S. policy . . . I did not
and I do not. Israel shares
with the U.S. the basic
democratic values long
cherished in our country.
The defense of those val-
ues is crucial to the survi-
val of a way of life on this
planet which is compati-
ble to our ideals. Because
of these overriding con-
siderations, U.S. policy
toward Israel has been
clear. We are fully com-
mitted to the security and
survival of the state of Is-
rael. I believe in that pol-
icy wholeheartedly."
The Zionist Organiza-
tion of America, in a
statement issued by its
president, Rabbi Joseph
P. Sternstein, demanded
the "immediate dismis-
,sal" of Brown for his re-
marks.
Israeli Spending
JERUSALEM (ZINS)
— The average monthly
expenditures of an urban
Israeli family in the year
1975 amounted to
IL3,870, ($456) according
to the Central Statistical
Bureau.
This breaks down as fol-
lows: IL910 (24 percent)
for food; IL1,140 (29 per-
cent) for housing; IL430
(11 percent) for transpor-
tation; IL390 (10 percent)
for education and recrea-
tion.
Between the years 1968
and 1975, the monthly
outlay for an urban fam-
ily of four increased by
300 percent and expenses
continue to climb even
higher.
Negev Settlement
Planned by Israel
NEW YORK — Con-
struction of a
"greenhouse village" for
North Americans seeking
to begin an agricultural
life in Israel is scheduled
to get underway this fall.
The new settlement,
called Moshav Talmei
Yosef, will be modeled on
Sde Nitzan, which was
settled by immigrants
from the United States
and New Zealand three
years ago.
Basing themselves en-
tirely on greenhouse
growing of tomatoes, Sde
Nitzan farmers — virtu-
ally all of them novices
when they started —
have produced record
yields.
At the Jewish Commun-
ity Council general as-
sembly at Cong. Shaarey
Zedek, Tuesday evening,
Senatorial candidates
Marvin Esch and Donald
Riegle raised the issue,
Esch stating he had com-
municated with President
Ford to demand Brown's
resignation and Riegle
said Brown should be
fired.
Michigan Congressman
William Brodhead was
among the first to com-
municate with President
Ford demanding Brown's
ouster.
Brodhead said that
Gen. Brown's remarks
"are merely the latest in a
long series of public blun-
ders. In my view, these
constant mistakes have
raised significant doubts
about the general's fit-
ness to serve as chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff."
President Ford said at a
news conference Wed-
nesday that "Israel is not
a military burden to the
United States because of
actions of the Ford Ad-
ministration." He made
that statement in re-
sponse to a question re-
lated to the Brown re-
mark.
Ford said he welcomed
the question. Declaring
that "the U.S. is dedi-
cated to the "security and
survival of Israel" which
he described as "a democ-
ratic state in an area
where democracy does
not flourish," Ford ob-
served that "you have to
look at the broad picture"
in discussing the question
of weapons for Israel.
The President referred
to Israel as a "strong ally
and said the U.S. has
"many firm and fine ties
with the people and the
government of Israel."
In Chicago, meanwhile,
Sen. Barry Goldwater
(R-Ariz.) deviated from the
position taken by most of
his Senate colleagues by
making a strong statement
in support of Brown.
Goldwater, who has in the
past supported Israel on
most issues, said that he
shared Brown's view that
Israel was a military bur-
den.
"I agree with him, We
can't continue to give any
country equipment from
our inventory and not de-
plete our own war
machine," Goldwater
said. The conservative
Republican added, "Is-
rael has gotten every-
thing she ever wanted, in
some categories more
than she can use." He
said it was "all right"
with him "if we give Is-
rael $2 billion" (in equip-
ment) but "then let's buy
$2 billion for ourselves.
Unless we regains our
military superiority, the
only choice can be nuclear
war or surrender." Gold-
water told his audience
that that was, in effect,
what Brown was trying to
say.

A Flashback to Detroit
and Chat With Carterite
Back to Detroit and a
recapitulation of a chat
with a major Jimmy Car-
ter backer.
At breakfast,Oct. 12, at
the Sheraton Southfield,
with Morris Abram, the
prominent ex-Georgian
who is now a distin-
guished lawyer in New
York, Jimmy Carter and
Georgia were under dis-
cussion. The others at the
breakfast were Sandy
Levin, one of Michigan's
most prominent Democ-
rats, and John
Shepherd, president of
the Detroit Jewish Com-
munity Council.
Georgia, where Abram
was born and grew to
manhood, not far from
the Carters, as well as the
Carters who are admired
by Abram, came under
brief scrutiny.
Abram was asked about
the 1913 Leo Frank Case.
Not only as a former na-
tional president of the
American Jewish Commit-
tee but as one who was
seriously affected by the
Leo Frank tragedy, the na-
tional Jewish leader com-
mented on the distress
under which Jews lived in
Georgia at the time. It was
a distress that affected all
American Jews and, in
fact, Jews everywhere —
that in free America there
should have been such a
travesty on justice and the
lynching of an innocent
Jew.
in the Detroit News
Magazine Section Sun-
day (Oct. 17), the Leo
Frank Case was recalled
in the article by Al Stark
under the title "Jimmy
Carter and the Baptist
Church: Behind a Smile, a
Firm Belief in a Persons
Access to Christ."
Stark, a Detroit News
Sunday Magazine writer,
briefly reconstructs the
Leo Frank Case in this
article. He refers to the
vilest of anti-Semites who
more than any one else
may have been responsi-
ble for the hatred that
was generated against
Leo Frank the Jew, lead-
ing to his being murdered
by an insaned mob — Tom
Watson. The elder Car-
ters were close friends of
Watson. It's a
background that may
lead to interesting recol-
lections of the influence
of the Frank Case on a
generation that was born
after it, the generation of
Jimmy Carter.
