line was introduced alleging that
us. support of Israel was respon-
sible for the Suez debacle and
Communist penetration of the Arab
world. Testimony was gwen by
President Clarence L. Coleman Jr.
of the anti-Zionist American Coun-
Gil for Judaism and Alfred M. Lili-
enthal for a pro-Arab front group.
LILIENTHAL was allocated 10
minutes to testify. It was the same
amount of time initla1ly given to
others. But Lilienthal demanded 35
minutes. Chairman John w. Nc
Cormack informed Lilienthal that
he would be given a fair chance
to express his views but would
not be allowed to dictate" to the
committee. Mccormack, a Massa-
chusettS Democrat, is House ma
jority leader.
When Lilientnal finished his in
citement for the abandonment of
Israel's cause, a dignified commit
tee member arose. He was Jose
A. Benitez, a delegate to the con-
vention from Porto Rico BeniteZ
said that Porto Rico would vote
against any such plank as pro-
posed by Lilienthal. He explained
that Porto Rico had the greatest
admiration for Israel. Committee
members and the audience ap-
plauded vigorously.
Lilienthal sought to reply by
shrieking that he himself was
Jew. At this point Mccormack
termed Lilienthal's injection of re-
and un-American. He indicated he
felt Lilienthal to be an agitator
who came to the convention with
a provocative intent"
COLEMAN, THE other anti-Is-
rael witness, tried to raise a ques-
ton of dual loyalty of American
Jews and attempted to turn the
Democrats against Israel. Chair
man Mccormack asked if the ba-
sis of Coleman'S dual loyalty pre-
mise was correct. The chairman
indicated he felt it completely
consistent with the American ma
tional interest that Americans sup
port Israel and that the state sur
vive.
Mayor David Lawrence of Pitts
burgh, also on the platform body,
suggested that Lilienthal had aban-
doned his own people. The mayor
saw nothing wrong in American
Jewish interest in Israel. In fact,
Lawrence expressed pride in being
an honorary United Jewish Appeal
chairman and selling Israel Bonds
in addition to actively supporting
the Irish independence movement.
Lawrence moved the committee by
