The Convention of the Southeastern
Zionist Organization of America which
met Labor Day weekend in Jacksonville,
shed an important light on its future role
much more through the Zionist topics
which it did not place on the agenda
than on the program which it highlight-
ed B.. 1t was most interesting listening
to the discussions, and the speakers, and

cents that I recently had to come to

of the platform which the admin
istration has cut out for itself in
the public relations field cannot
be underestimate in it's value to
the State of Israel in it's current
jockeying of position with the
U. S. State Department It
must also be noted that through
its intensified support of the Pal
estine Economic Corporation the
Z.O.A. can be Of unreasonable
help in stabilizing the economic
situation in Israel Politically
n d economically tn e Z.O.A.
stands ready to be counted, to
the best of its ability, as the good
right arm of it's brethren in Israel.
Yet, throughout this convention
which was graced by the presence
of Z.O.A. national president, there
was no word mentioned of what
Israel considers its foremost prob
lem It was topic which
Nachum Goldman thought impor-
tant enough to place first on the
agenda before the Actions Com
mittee of the World Zionist Con-
gress which met in Jerusalem this
summer at which occasion Morti-
mer May, the Z.O.A. head, was
present This was the ever
omnibus question Of chaluziut . +.
American chaIuziut in particular.
Actually, Chaluziut concerns
every thinking Israeli today e.
Allow an Israeli to speak openly
with you, and chaluziut is the
topic he chooses e.
Conversely, speak to an Ameri-
can Zionist and his concern is
chiefly the situation in which Is
rael finds herself, regarding her
Arab neighbors, and in the posi-
ton she holds in the foreign pol
icy set-up of her own government
These two positions were clear
ly illustrated during my recent
visit to Israel, and at the Z.O.A.
regional conference here
Which is the most accute prob
lem? :. Which should have pref
erance? =.
Coming to grips with the latter
question in Israel I felt that what
we call Zionist public relations"
in this country can more honest
ly be placed in the term of Amer
lean foreign relations . What is
amiss with our government pol
icy is definitely an American
problem F.. In Israel 1 was deep
ly Inundated by our government
policy toward that country . +. I
felt the profound shame that any
other conscientious American felt
at the stacking of cards against
the State of Israel by our state
department More than fear
for Israel I felt concern for my
own government still feel
it my duty as part of my birth
right to cry out against the gov
eminent actions against a new
democracy; actions which are not
at all in the American tradition.
Let me say this: that inasmuch
as the American tradition is based
upon the concepts of mans rela-
tionship to man as expressed in
the Bible, the fight for the con-
tinuance of that tradition is very
much at home in Zionist pro-
gram The State Departments
pressure on Israel is both in
human and unjust; therefore, con-
corning itself with the growth of

further falls in the Zionist orbit
>. However, it must be admitted
that while such an approach is a
solid basis for American Jewish
thinking, a Zionist organization
must proceed in the future to ac-
cept a more concrete program for
cooperation with the State of Is
rael in Harvesting those forces of
d e alis m and intellectualism
which will continue to create
among the cultural and moral
forces in the Jewish state that
which will be as eight unto the
nations" of which early Zionists
dreamed -.
It is for fear that this light
might go out that Israelis look
frantically for American influ-
ences in their country The
new immigrations into Israel
bring anything but light wit h
them ). They bring not only
poverty and disease, but also
illiteracy, and anti-social elements
which Israelis are afraid might
absorb the country before the
country can abolish them :.
Over half of the population is
now of the lowest element :.
Israel is more afraid of their half
of its population than it is Of its
hostile Arab neighbors or of
the State Department -.
1t has recently been ascertained
that of the one and half million
of Israel's residents only three
thousand are Americans I
use the term resident" because
not all of the population are Is
raeli citizens F. There are those
who live there who travel on Eng
lish, or South African or Ameri-
can passports =.
There is a meeting of minds be-
tween the Israeli and American
leadership on the need of Ameri-
can influence on Israel planning
and thinking The differences
lie on the methods of carrying
the thoughts through to action =.
In his address before the Z.O.A.
regional conference Mortimer
May said: "In our opinion the Is
raeli pays too much attention to
politics :. There is great danger
there of too many political par
ties Events in Italy and
France have proven that in great
crises governments so constituted
cannot stand ="
Ben Gurion has stressed the
need of a two-party system in
Israel
Mortimer May said: Il do
not depreciate the value of the
United Jewish Appeal, but char
ity has it's limitations ,"
Through investments can we best
build Israers economic security.
Help us build, say Israeli lead
ers j.. Charity is not the basis of
Zionism :.
So it goes The schism de-
velops only with the question of
the proper implimentation of the
ideas
Send us people, the Israeli says
The American Zionist Organ
ization is silent -.
In all justice, it must be said,
that the American Zionists and
the Z.O.A. have tried to tackle the
question of American chaluziut
It has failed SO desperately
that one has the experience of
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1954-09-10

fore the delegates for discussion
It must be admitted that the
Z.O.A. is faced with such ire
mendous organizational problems
that these a k precedent over
other matters It must be ac-
knowledged that the government
attitude toward Israel is such
hazardous one that it needs all
the strength the Z.O.A. can offer
to orient it But it should also
be confessed that the present
dilemma in reorganization which
the Z.O.A. finds itself is due to
the lack of accent on positive
Zionist programming which the
Zionist Organization of America
permitted itself during its past
history 1t must learn that an
organization cannot exist by crisis
cannot leave this column with
out further reference to American,
Chaluziut to Israel 1t is
question which l have actively
associated myself for the past de-
cade e. . know through personal
experiences the heartbreak which
is connected with it on organiza-
tional failures and the impact
which it's few successes has had
on individuals and families E.
1t is much easier for an Israeli to
speak of it than it is for an Amer
lean Jew And ! have come
away from Israel with the convic-.
ton that we in America have
gone about this business in a most
unrealistic manner :. Certainly,
figures will bear me out . :.
Three thousand Americans in Is
rael do not speak of success for
our previous methods And
when the number is scrutinized
and is discovered that very few
were avowed Zionists when they
came to Israel, I am afraid the
picture is all too revealing E.
Where have the Zionists failed?
Recognizing the failure what
can now be done? !. admitting
that Israel needs American JewS)
In my opinion the failure lay
in attempting to separate youth
from their families in the Zionist
chaluziut program This was
unnatural It is program
whose nature spells it's failure
!. But there were other failures
Why did many who went to
Israel not remain there? Could
their failure to remain arise from
their inability to acclimate them
selves to the lower standard of
living?
/ am of the opinion that learn
ing from these mistakes American
ZionistS should make another eff
fort to sponsor a chaluziut pro-
gram to Israel This time aim
ing at helping Zionist families to
go young married couples
with young children : -. who
might find that they have talents
and abilities to offer a pioneering
country There are many such
families who are finding it diff
ficult earning a living in the
American economic arena =.
1t might be conceivable that a
loan fund be set up, and a place
ment bureau arranged to facilitate
the movement of these people. 1t
is within the realm of magma
ton that the American Zionist
Organization substitute profession
al and scientific people until that
time when the situation in Israel
warrants higher salaries and

Boy, Il, Faces Charges
OF Arson After Two Fires

A 12-year-old boy was charged
with two counts Of arson today
as police still sought his reasons
for setting a garage and an auto
af1re late yesterday.
Neither fire caused much dam
age. largely because the boy re-
ported them to the owners i'm
mediately after setting them, po-
lice said.
The first was in a garage in
the 1000 block of Rhode Island
avenue NV, where cardboard
boxes had just started to burn
when the boy went to the front
door of the owners house and
told him his garage was afire.
The second, a half hour later
and a block away, was confined
to the front and back seats of a
car. The boy lives in Northwest
Washington.

More than 1000 persons, all
from different breakfast tables
filed up the hills to Mckinley
High School yesterday and were
"integrated."
Those who came were in their
teens-a difficult period, any,
way-starting the first day Of
school in a new year. They
came knowing that integration
would be there, along with tough
and easy teachers and the in
evitable report card.
They fingered outside the
school as long as possible, stand
ing in little groups and chatting.
Some grabbed a few quick puffs
from cigarettes hidden in their
hands. Most of all, they just
looked the place over.
Restless, Then Calm.
Then the bell rang at 9 am.
and the groups merged in the
halls. They split again into
groups and sat down in the
schools big auditorium. They
squealed, scuffed their feet and
were restless. A boy wearing
glasses sat by himself on the
front row and doodled. A gang
of boys on the back row whistled
at a couple of girls. late arrivals
and evidently embarrassed. Or
had the girls planned it that
way?
If there was tension at Nc

it was then, when everybody was

Virginia Commission
Gagged During Study
OF Segregation
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Stoff Corraspondani

RICHMOND, Sept. IA spe-
cial commission on public school
segregation. whose conclusions,
Gov. Stanley says. may we'll
have much to. do with the fu-
ture welfare of all the citizens"
was functioning today under a
strict secrecy rule.
The gag placed on all but the
chairman of the 32-member
commission, which met here to
wrestle with the problem of the
Supreme Court decision, was al
most 100 per cent effective.
The group. officially desig-
mated as the Commission on
Public Education, decided yes
terday to hold public hearings
at times and places to be desig-
mated later, according to the
chairman, State Senator Gar
land Gray of Wayerly.
To Name Executive Committee.
It authorized Mr.. Gray, a
likely candidate for Governor in
1857. to appoint an Executive
Committee of from seven to nine
members. He said he will make
the appointments and call a
meeting of that group next week.
The full commission will recon-
vene about October /, he added.
Gov. Stanley told the IS State
Senators and 10 delegates he
appointed to the commission
that he believes it will be about
two more months before attor-
neys will be asked by the Su-
preme Court to file final briefs
on means of implementing the
decision of last May II. declaring
unconstitutional the separation
of white and Negro children in
public schools.
The Governor gave reporters
three-page statement, which
he said he was going to make
to the commission. He met with
it behind closed doors.
Talk Anonymously.
When the meeting broke up,
nearly all of the commission
members said they were bound
by a rule not to talk to reporters
and none would speak for quota
ton by name.
II made my position clear"
said one Southeastern Virginia
House member. "The people of
my county just will not stand for
Negroes and whites going to the
same school,"
Said another House member
from the far Southwest: 81
don't know why they want to be
SO secret about a matter of this
kind, I was opposed to it, and
still am. But ! feel I'm bound by
the resolution"
Neither of Arlington's men,
bers, Senator Charles r. Fen
wick and Delegate j. Maynard
Magruder, had comment after
the session.

later. The teachers found that
those who had been at Mckinley
last year were helpful toward

the awful forms. They crossed
the aisles to help.
At 1915 pm, the school day
ended. Indignation had come to
Mckinley after many years.

Headaches Ordinary.
A tall .eaSy-moving man, a
physical education teacher and
one of four new teachers at Nc
Kinley. said: tits going to be an
interesting year."
At a teachers meeting follow
ing the close of school, the main
trouble seemed to be too many
children in one class, or not
enough in another. Nobody said
anything about indignation.
Their usual opening-day head
aches were present, and they
broke up to work things out.
BY afternoon the halls of Nc
Kinley High School were empty.

one of the fountains. School
had started again.
