daism wound up its eighth con-
ference here yesterday with a
statement that American Jews will
vote in coming political contests
as individuals and not as a group
with special interests.
Particularly, the council under
scored the point that mo Jew and
organization of Jews can speak for
all Americans of Jewish faith"
American Jews, like Americans
of other faiths, will vote, as al
ways, as individuals and for the
party or candidate who, in the
opinion of each, will best serve
the interests of the United States.
They will not be Influenced by
consideration Of interests of any
other nation" the resolution said
The council is a national group
which holds that Judaism is "a
religion of universal values" 1t
rejects the idea that religious diff
ferences project themselves into
other political or social fields
Standing for complete Indignation
of Americans of Jewish faith into
the social, economic and political
institutions of the country, the
council specifically denounces the
idea of Israel as the national
homeland of all jews.
Leasing j. Rosenwald Of Jen-
kinstown, Pa, was reelected
