Histadrut Wins
a Union Friend
"This is our goal. A world of peace, freedom and social justice for
all people everywhere" — Walter Reuther
Walter Reuther knew a good thing when he
saw it. So, Histadrut became a cherished cause of
his as the free trade union movement in Israel.
He brought Paul Silver along.
Silver was on the UAW chief's staff in 1941
when Reuther called him in one day and said -
as Silver recalls it - Tack your bag. You're
going to a convention of Histadrut in Atlantic
City. Check in with David Dubinsky and Sidney
Hillman.' "
It was Silver's first Histadrut convention. He
has been a Histadrut leader ever since.
Until his retirement in 1970, Silver played an
active role in the United Automobile Workers, of
which he was a founder in 1935-36 and president
of Local 351 for some 27 years.
He continues to maintain
his office at Region 1B
headquarters, teaches in
the labor studies program
at Oakland University and
is on the boards of several
charitable organizations.
So much for his "retire-
ment."
The 71-year-old Silver
has just returned from
New York, where he at-
tended the convention of
the National Committee
for Labor Israel, of which
he was re-elected to the
PAUL SILVER
board of directors. At that
gathering, the launching of the 53rd annual Is-
rael Hi s tadrut Campaign was proclaimed.
A seasoned visitor to Israel (a daughter lives
near Tel Aviv), Silver has viewed the many so-
cial, educational and cultural programs under
Histadrut auspices and built with the assistance
of its American friends.
One of these programs is the Afro-Asian Insti-
tute, which, despite a freeze in diplomatic rela-
tions, continues to bring young leaders of develop-
ing African nations to Israel.
"No matter what takes place in the United
Nations," said Silver, "Israel has a lot of friends
in the African-countries. At the Institute, you'll
find a representation of young people who one
day will be the leaders of Africa."
As chairman of Histadrut Associates, a group
of Jewish and Gentile public and labor Officials,
Silver does not look upon the contributions of
Histadrut friends in the U.S. as "charity." -
"In fact, Israel Histadrut does us a favor by
letting us participate," said Silver. "We're simply
paying our dues."

Metzenbaum Beats Taft in Race for Ohio Post;
Jews to Occupy 21 House Seats Next January
WASHINGTON (JTA)
- Cleveland business-
man Howard Metzen-
baum upset Republican
incumbent Sen. Robert
Taft Jr. of Cincinnati and
Omaha Mayor Edward
Zorinsky defeated Repub-
lican Congressman John
Y. McCollister in Neb-
raska in U.S. Senate
Races Tuesday.
Zorinsky and Metzen-
baum, both Democrats,
raise the number of
Jewish Senators to five, a
record. The seats of in-
cumbents Jacob K. Javits
(R-N.Y.), • Abraham
Ribicoff (D-Conn.) and
Richard Stone (D-Fla.)
were not at stake and
they will be in the 95th
Congress that convenes
in January.
Three other Jewish
Senatorial candidates,
however, were defeated,
according to unofficial re-
turns received in
Washington. Five-term
Congressman Sam
Steiger, who won the Re-
publican nomination in
Arizona in a bitter prim-
ary battle with anti-
Semitic overtones, lost - to
Dennis De Concinci, a
Democrat who is pro-
secutor in Pima County
(Tucson) by 398,888 to
320,226.
Richard P. Lorber, a
Democrat, of Providence,
R.I. lost in his first elec-
tion try to former Republi-
can Governor John Chafee
in Rhode Island, 222,746 to
163,088. In Connecticut,
Gloria Schaffer, the state's
top Democratic vote getter
and the only woman in the
33 Senate races Tuesday,
lost to Republican Senator
Lowell Weicker, who won
his second term by a vote
of 787,568 to 559,109 for
Schaffer.
Zorinsky, the first
Democrat to win a Senate
seat in Nebraska since
1934 and the first Jew in
the state's history to rep-
resent it in the U.S. Se-
nate, replaces the vete-
ran Republican Roman
Hruska who retired.
Originally a Republi-
can, Zorinsky entered the
primary as. a Democrat.
With 1,882 of the 2,069
districts reported,
Zorinsky led McCollister
by 32,000 votes.
McCollister's office
here conceded defeat.
Zorinsky, it said, piled up
an insurmountable lead
in Douglas County
(Omaha). He was heavily
supported by labor un-
ions in a conservative
state.
Metzenbaum, who ran a
relatively low-key cam-
paign in his rematch of the
1970 campaign with Taft,
won by about 89,000 votes
or three per cent. With 99
percent of the vote
counted, Metzenbaum led
by 1,921,371 to Taft's
1,805,007. Six years ago
Taft beat Metzenbaum by
70,000 votes.
Meanwhile, Jewish
candidates won at least
21 seats in the new House
of Representatives -
equal to the record
number held by Jews in
the last Congress. They
may pick up another seat
in Illinois where incum-
bent Democrat Abner
Mikva is in a tight race
that is headed for a re-
count. The only Jewish
incumbent to lose a re-
election bid is Iowa
Democrat Edward Mez-
vinsky who was seeking a
third term.
Two other representa-
tives in the 94th Con=
gress, Bella Abzug
(D-NY) and Sam Steiger
(R-Ariz.) retired from the
House to run for the Se-
nate and both lost in their
Senatorial races.
Seventeen incumbents
were re-elected along
with four newcomers to
the 95th Congress. They
are Marc‘Marks, a Repub-
lican lawyer from Sharon,
Pa., Democrat Anthony
Beilenson, a California
state senator, Democrat
Theodore Weiss, who re-
places Mrs. Abzug in New
York City, and Dan
Glickman, the Democra-
tic president of the school
board in Wichita, Kan.
In one of the most
startling upsets of the
Congressional races,
Glickman defeated Re-
publican Garner Shriver,
who has served 32 years
in the House and was
seeking his 17th term.
Rep. Sidney Yates
(D-I11.) won re-election
easily, gaining his 14th
term in his Chicago dis-
trict to continue as dean of
the Jewish delegation in
the House of Representa-
tives.
Republican William
Gradison, former mayor
of Cincinnati, gained his
second term easily,
gathering 61 percent of
the vote.
Incumbents who won
included Joshua Eilberg
(D-Pa) who gained his
sixth term by defeating
his Republican opponent
in a Philadelphia district
by better than 2-1.
Another winner was Wil-
liam Lehman (D-Fla.) who
defeated
Republican
businessman
Arnold
Spiegelman, also Jewish,
by a 3-1 margin in the
Miami area.
In Atlanta, Ga., lawyer
Elliot Levitas, a Democ-
rat, won a second House
term by getting 68 per-
cent of the vote.
In Maryland, Democra-
tic Rep. Gladys Spellman
won a second term, but
lawyer Lanny Davis, also
a Democrat, seeking a
first term, lost in subur-
ban Montgomery County
which has a large Jewish
population. Both
Spellman and Davis cam-
paigned in districts ad-
joining Washington.
In California, John
Krebss, a lawyer from
Fresno, won a second
term.
Among Jewish candi-
dates who lost were Don
Riedman, a Republican in
Denver and Boston lawyer
Arthur Mason, a Republi-
can, was beaten by Rep.
Robert Drinan.
Other Jewish candi-
dates meeting defeat
were Democrat Dorothy
Becker who bowed to Re-
publican incumbent
Wiliam Broomfield, and
James Burdick, a Repub-
lican, who lost to incum-
bent Democrat William
Brodhead in their house
races in Michigan. In
Florida, Charles Fried-
man, a Hollywood dentist,
lost to incumbent Rep. J.
Herbert Burke, a Repub-
lican.
Carter's headquarters
in Atlanta said that the
Jewish vote for the former
Georgia governor totalled
75 percent. This is midway
between the 85 percent re-
ceived by Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey in 1968 and the
65 percent given to Sen.
George McGovern in 1972.
The Jewish vote in
Michigan was estimated to
have "split fairly evenly be-
tween Carter and Ford de-
spite a heavy Democratic
registration by Jews in
that state. One of the
reasons given was a sen-
timental appreciation for
Ford, who is from Michi-
gan and was one of the
pioneer supporters of Is-
rael during his 25 years in
the House.
(In the heavily Jewisl
suburbs of Oak Park and
Southfield, Carter did well
but did not tally as many
votes as the successful
Democratic candidate of
U.S. Senator from Michi-
gan, Donald Riegle.
(Carter and Mondale tal-
lied 10,113 votes in Oak
Park against Ford and
Dole's 5,691, while Riegle
received 11,780 votes
there. In Southfield,
Ford-Dole had 19,627
votes to Carter-Mondale's
17.072, while Riegle tallied
20,561 votes.
(The
unsuccessful
Jewish candidate for Oak-
land County treasurer;
David Gubow, recorded
11,278 votes in Oak Park
and 17,511 in Southfield.)
