cial and legislative.
However, it is equally import
ant to note that whereas many
State Legislature and local gov
erning bodies have been in the
forefront of this action for inn
provement, the Congress has as yet
failed to enact the principal points
Of the civil rights program which
| first recommended to it in Febru-
airy 1913.
"The program and bills to make
it law are before the current Con-
gress. Making appropriate allow
ance for the extra burden on the
Congress in dealing with the ag-
gravated problems of defense and
the mobilization of our economy,
am hopeful that the Sind Congress
will not conclude without enactine
the civil rights program into law.
81 propose to continue to urge
the program with all the vigor
possess. BY strengthening the pri
vileges of citizenship, it will ado
greater substance to the American
tradition of equality and equal op.
portunity. 1t is another step in
solidifying the unity of our peo-
ple."

General Zionists threatened a
similar boycott unless action was
taken and a probe instituted.
Veteran Zionists gathered here
voiced the possibility of split in
the ZOA ranks. They recalled the
1948 Pittsburgh convention al
which Progressive forces at first
refused to join the administration
because Of somewhat similar dis
agreements over the ZOA's poll
teal affiliations in Israel. ORA
maticallY. at the Pittsburgh con-
vention. the Progressives stalked
out Of the mammouth Mecca
Temple convention site. in protest
against the situation.
Whether any similar split
would come to pass here remain
ed questionable. However, it was
pointed out that statement last
week by Lipsky and three former
ZOA presidents endorsing the
Progressives in the forthcoming
Israeli elections had not eased the
clash between the two elements.
Another highpoint at the Satur-
day night sessions revolved
around the election of a president

Abraham A. Redelheim and Dr.

were reported actively seeking
the strategic post. Also rumored
in the running were Mortimer

Top subject of debate at the
convention, as evidenced from
corridor discussion on the eve of
the gatherings opening, was the
role of merican Zionists,
members of the ZOA, should play
on Israel's political battlefield. A
strong pro-Silver-Neumann show
ing set out to urge about
support for IsraeIs General Zion
list Party. A group of Progress
sives, headed by veteran Zionist
Louis Lipsky, Rudolph Sonnen-
born, and others, attempted to
block the political thrust.
Highpoint Of the four-daY con-
vention came on Saturday night
when delegates discussed and
voted on a series of political reso-
lutions.
Pro-General Zionist elements,
angry over the refusal of IsraeTs
shekel board to take action on
complaints by the General Zion
lists and Mizrachi of alleged cir
Irregularities" in the sales and reg
istration of shekel holders,
moved for the ZOA's refusal. to

are badly needed in the British
Empire, back into full operation.
A third query was aimed at what
the government had done about
the Egyptian blockade of the Suez
to tankers carrying oil to Haifa.
Mr.. Morrison's reply was to state
that an approach had been made
to the Egyptian government on
this matter.

in the county and most of the
liquor and gambling devices are

towns. For this reason we
strongly urge every citizen, Off
Ger and official to be constantly
on the alert to catch these often
ders and in every instance to full

We, your Grand Jury, resent
the bad reputatio n brought
against the good name of Holmes

law violators either to become
useful citizens or else to get out
of the county.
We urge Sheriff Ellis E. Wynn
and County Attorney Pat M. Bar

arrest and prosecute these flag
rant violators of the law. We be-
lieve that large majority of our
citizens at last realize the rot
ten conditions in Holmes County

time to clean it up. In the opinion
Of the Grand Jury. it will take
the wholehearted cooperation of
each citizen; and we urge our
fellow-countians not to shirk their
responsibilities as citizens, jur-
ors, witnesses or in any other
capacities in which they may
serve. It is our firm conviction
that with everyone doing his
part and with Gods help, the job
can be done.
