0'Conor Urges Action
By State Department
On Freeing Of 0atis
BY the Associated Press

Senator O'Conor, Democrat OF
Maryland. sharply prodded the
State Department today for ac-
ton to get Associated Press Core
spondent William N. Oats freed
from Communist prison in
Czechoslovakia.
He termed the handling of the
case "a most important phase of
the current psychological warfare"
and urged that steps be taken to
make clear that the United States
will not tolerate continued mac
ton by the Czechs.
Senator O'Conor made public a
letter to Secretary Acheson saying
that this is proper time to re-
appralse what has been and is
being done to secure Mr.. Oats
release. in the light of the ap-
parent failure of such efforts. :"
No Details Released.
The department. without giving
details, has said it is doing all
it can to obtain Mr.. Oats re-
lease.
The Western world has de-
nounced as a travesty of justice
the Czech Communist govern
ment'S conviction of Mr.. Oats
on spy charges. He was SEN
fenced last July 4 to serve 10
years in a Czech prison. He had
been arrested April %.
MI. OatiS already has been
imprisoned far too long" Senator
O'Conor wrote. 1T is my sincere
hope that policies and procedures
may be developed that will en-
phaSize to the utmost possible
extent upon officials and people
OF CzechoSloyakia that the United
States will not submit to con-
tinued inaction in this case"
Senator O'Conor has offered
resolutions in the Senate pro-
posing trade reprisals against the
Communists. an appeal to the
United Nations and retaliatory
actions against foreign Com
munlst news correspondents.
Some trade measures against the
Czechs have been taken.
Favored by People.
Renewed activity in this con-
nection by the responsible Gov
ernment departments at this time
would. I know, be thoroughly in
line with the desires of the great
mass Of our people," the Senator
told Mr.. Acheson.
In his letter to the Secretary,
Senator O'Conor called attention
TO statements by Robert A. Vo-
geler in a magazine article that
tougher attitude by this Govern
ment would have sped his own
release from a Communist iaili
and averted Mr.. Oats arrest.
Mr.. Vogeler is the American
businessman who served IT,
months Of a 15-year sentence in
Communist Hungary, also after a
spy trial. before the United
States Government arranged for
his release by making concessions
to Hungary. Mr.. Vogeler has
termed the concessions "humil-
iatlng.'

thrust about it by a world in dis
order, we cannot yet nor for con-
siderable time, withdraw our help
and support in a philanthropic,

more time to devote to the Jewish
scene in the Diaspora and, parti-
cularly, in our own United States
and to endeavor to ascertain what
can be done to strengthen its posi-
ton, and, particularly, to inquire
what role Israel and influences
emanating from Israel can play.
The American Plan
Now, just a hurried review of
what we face in America. The
great shift of the center of grav-
ity of Jewish life from eastern
Europe to America occurred COM

with a very hasty and partial in
tegration into the life of the
American community.

immigrant himself to attempt to

adjust his ways of life to this
very different scene. He usually
held on desperately to values
that he had brought along with
him and sought to maintain them.
What he should do with his native
children, however, was a much
more difficult adjustment, and the
gap between father and son might
have been measured in several
generations instead of just one.
This second generation was likely
to be far less educated in Jewish
values than were the immigrants,
and, in many cases, almost COM
pletely unaware of having receiv-
ed any real religious or cultural
instruction. AS they were unin-
structed and uniformed, they
also became unobservant. Being
thus uninstructed and, to a large
extent, unobservant, Jewish val
ues lost significance and, in many
cases, there was a rapid flight
from everything Jewish.
Israel A Potent Force
Since, as said at the outset,
Zionism is a movement for Jew
ish survival, the situation in
America cannot leave us uncon-
cerned. If one had to sum it up
in few words, it might be stated
that what the Jew needs most in
America today is a belief, a faith
and a confidence in himself and
his destiny. Instead of flight from
something, he needs to feel an
urge toward something. To rem
edy this situation, we have po-

tent factor in the new State. 1t
is not only the spiritual, ethical,
moral and religious values that
can come from that State, but,
what is more important, a sense
of pride, status and dignity, which
can make itself felt on the Amer
lean Jewish scene. We are getting
new pictures of a Jew who is
productive in the material sense
farmer as an illustrations; the
Jew who is courageous, as the
world has learned in the war of
independence; the Jew who is
idealist and makes sacrifices for
those ideals as witnessed by the
policy of unlimited immigration.
To all of this is added and being
added the creativity of the Jew
in the cultural sense.
All of these are ingredients
which have within them the pos
sibility-a very strong possibility
of changing the emotional and
practical attitude of the Jew, Wis
avis all that is Jewish. You don't
argue or pressure a people into a
faith and confidence and belief
in themselves. This is something
which comes in very subtle way
and you seem to be caught up in
it without, perhaps, ever having
reflected on it or knowing why.
From Escape To Identification
We must not oversimplify and,
yet, the fact remains that what is
being done in Israel can be of the
utmost consequence in turning
the whole tide of American Jew
The Arizona post. [volume] (Tucson, Ariz.) 1946-1990, 1951-10-05

ish life largely from one of escape
to one of Identification. Zionists
have never been used to accepting
the easy way out. Here, l might
add in conclusion that when we
speak of survival, we do not mean
simply the survival of our physi-
cal selves, but those values in
Jewish life which we need and
which the world too, we believe,
requires. Zionists have the con-
viction that the new State is sim
ply not another state; but rather,
the successor after long inter-
val of earlier Jewish States, which
gave to mankind the moral and
the spiritual and the ethical val
ues on which all Western civiliza-
ton has been based. Mankind is
now at a serious crisis, perhaps
one of the most fateful in all its
long history.
ISrael-A Moral Force
To this, we must believe that
Israel furnishes again the answer.
That answer, if we are faithful to
our traditions and achievements
in the past, will be of new COM
ception; that is, new for our day
as to the nature of the State: the
State as moral force, expressed
in the thought, 'It is righteous
ness that exalteth a nation" Our
American Jewish challenge is to
help create such state in Israel;
confident that, as we work toward
that glorious goal, we, too, shall
be exalted.
