Brotherhood Is Held Rev To Problems
 Robbi Brill Urges
 AVG To Fight
 For World Order

Brotherhood is the key teaching today, as though God had said, Either you will be brothers or shall destroy the world" Rabbi Mordecai L. Brill of Beth Fl Synagogue told the American Veterans Committee In public meeting at the Y. M. c. A. last night.
 On that basis I take my stand" Rabbi Brill continued, land hope you, too, will work and fight and give and sacrifice that democracy and law and order in international affairs will become a final and liv- ing reality throughout the world.
 Tn the words of the psalmist, Turn aside from evil and seek good, seek peace and pursue it,"
 Learned from Chaplains
 Rabbi Brill, an Army chaplain for three years, paid tribute to chap lain of all faiths who served fight ing men during the war, declaring he learned more of the Catholic and Protestant faiths through service with other chaplains than he could nave III yCd1S O1 o1uuy Ol S1FAldu association.
 Veterans should not make the same mistake made by those who fought in the first World War, Rab- bi Brill cautioned. Tn 1918, men were too ready to forget the im- portant problems which had caused them to be sent off to war.
 "A world at war is a sick world and a society which permits war is a sick society,"" Rabbi Brill declared. 'We cannot suddenly reverse the process and expect a sAsk world to become healthy over night.
 He commended the AVG for Its work on behalf of measures im- portant to an integrated world, and urged members to continue to work for the community good.
 '. John Arcudi, chairman of the Yale University chapter of AVG, said the organization was based on philos- ophy whose objectives are peace, jobs and freedom.
 For Lillienthal Plan
 As one of its peace objectives, the AVS supports the Lillienthal plan for atomic control, which assumes that before the United States gives up its control over this source of energy some assurance shall be giv- en that control is going to be placed in the hands of responsible men, MT Arcudi said.
 Full employment legislation and a housing program which will as- sure the minimum 15,0OO,000 new housing units in the next 10 years are part of the AVG jobs program, the speaker explained. Under it's fight for freedom, AVG has been active in the campaign for fair em- ployment practices, among other measures.
 To make it's philosophy effective, AVG seeks to triple its present 75,- 900 membership in campaign now underway, Mir Arcudi said. Through this expanded membership, this organization which is based on healthy cynicism," hopes to influ- ence legislative action in support of it's objectives, he concluded.
 AS part of the inter-faith pro- gram which marked last nights meeting, the Rev. John J. Crawford, former Catholic chaplain in the Army and now at St. Thomas Church, and the Rev William M. McCance, former Navy chaplain and now pastor of the Middlebury Con- gregational Church, also spoke brief ly.
 Continue Fight
 Father Crawford urged the veter- ans to use their strength and influ- ence to maintain in civilian life the ideals for which they had fought. MT. McCance, reminiscing of his work in Alaska and in hospitals in Europe, urged the veterans not to be discouraged by the disillusionment of postwar experiences. We won't quit and we won't let it get us into another war" he declared
 William c. Brewer presided for the AVG and urged the small group of veterans present to consider mem bership in the organization. Ar thur P. Greenblatt, chairman of the Waterbury chapter, announced the next meeting of the chapter will be Oct. 8.
