troduce religious instruction
into the public schools. Leo
Pfeffer. associate general
counsel of the American Jew
ish Congress, told the parley
that there is great pressure
developing from the public
schools.
The problem of discrimina-
ton against the admission OF
Jewish students to colleges
and universities is not as great
now as it has been in the past,
A. Abbot Rosen, executive di-
rector of the midwest region
Of the Anti-Defamation
League, told the convention.
With the lessing of bias in in
dustry against Jews and other
minorities, schools which dis
criminate have lost the propos
of the argument that they
train students for specific
fields and that they do not ac-

placed in such fields for rea-

Defend Curb
On Those In
Professions

NEW YORK (JTA)-Nikita
Khrushchev, head of the So
Wet Communist Party, defend.
ed a curb on the number OF
Jews in the Soviet professions
in a conversati tion with
a French Socialist delegation
in Moscow recently.
Khrushchev admitted that
the number of Jews in the pro-
fessions had been restricted to
the relative proportion OF
Jews to the general population
between one and one and a
half percent. After the Bolshe-
vik Revolution, Mr.. Khrush-
chew reporte dly told the
French group, Jews occupied
a disproportionately lar 6 e
number of such positions be-
cause relatively few trained
people were available. Now,
he continued, there are many
more trained Russians and
the high proportion of Jews
in responsible positions is no
longer needed.
The Communist leader is re-
ported as having stated to the
French delegation that the So
Wet Government had received
frequent protests from varl-

Cultural And
Spiritual Aids
Lacking In S.A.

BUENOS AIRES (JTA) -
Assimilation and mixed mar
riageS are on the rise and cul-
tural and spiritual activities
are declining among Jews in
much of Latin America, Sgd
ney Nelson, Joint Distribution
Committee director for Latin
America, declared.
He made known his findings
following his return from a
tWelve-nation tour on behalf
of the JDC and the Conference
on Jewish Material Claims
Against Germany, which has
in recent years aided Jewish
institutions in Latin America
as well as elsewhere in the
world. Mr.. Nelson was inter
ested in finding out what had
happened to the large number
of Jews who had migrated to
Latin American countries in
recent decades.
The general situation. he
said, was pointed up by a lack
of Jewish educators and teach
ers, virtually no Jewish edu-
cation, few Jewish libraries
and publications, no confer
ences on Jewish themes, a lack
of rabbis and synagogues, the
maintenance of very few Soc
ial or athletic centers for Jew.
ish youth. Mixed marriages
are increasing and assimila-
ton is progressing rapidly"
Mr.. Nelson said. There is no
"Jewish spirit" to combat this
condition, he added. The major
exceptions to this picture, he
stressed, were the Jewish
communities of Uruguay, Bra
Zil and Mexico.

$40 Million
Cash Mark

NEW YORK (JTA) = The
United Jewish Appeal conclud,
ed it's two-day National Action
Conference with an announce
ment that $4O,35O,OOO in cash
has been raised during the
first half-year of its campaign,
including $15,OOO,OOO present
ed by leaders from numerous
communities at the final ses-
sion.
The mid-year total of cash
gave the UJA $32,25O,OOO for
it's regular campaign in behalf
of the United Israel Appeal,

and New York Association for
New Americans, and $780,

of the tens of thousands OF
Jews streaming into it from

Despite this near-record mo-
bilization of cash, the dele
gates gave endorsement to an
extraordinary project for Sc
curing a second $40,OOO,OOO,
this to be borrowed from the
country's principal Jew is n
communities. T he endorse
ment was given "to help the
UJA keep pace with sharply

endorsement came after a re-
port on the Jewish position IN

by actual acreage cutbacks of

the alliance, the official line is
now aimed at debunking the
idea that NATO must find new
work to do if it hopes to survive.
The ,counterattack against the
new school of thought is being
led by NATO Secretary General
Lord Ismay backed enthusiastic
ally by most of the permanent
council and the staff. 1t is no
secret that the people most
closely associated with the work
of the alliance are unhappy
about many of the things that
the Western Foreign Ministers
have been saying recently.
Supplementary" Activities
Lord Ismay went out of his
way yesterday to warn neWsmen
against a tendency to exagger-
ate the Importance of this talk.
No earthshaking new program,
he thought, was likely to come
out of the present meeting. And
whatever the ministers might
decide to do along the line of
economic and political cooper
alton within the alliance, such
activities would be purely sup
Elementary to NATO's military
side and in no sense would sup
plant it.
Reporters were reminded that
the new line of Russian diplom-
acy and recent emphasis on
economic warfare in no way af-I
sfects the problem of defending
Western Europe against military
attack, Russias' ability to make
war, said Lord Ismay. is greater
than ever before and the Rus
slams in the past have been
known to change their policies
overnight.
NATO leaders are clearly
worried about the trend in
public opinion that threatens
to get out of hand. In
the last few days a number of
important European newspapers
inspired apparently by talk of
a new role for NATO-have been
openly suggesting that the mill
tary structure of the alliance
should be dismantled. and
although these suggestions are
very far from those Of any re-
sponsible leader, they could have
disastrous effect on the polit-
ical support for NATO in certain
countries.
Skeptical on New Role
There is another reason which
might explain the re-emphasis
of NATO's military side. 1t is
simply that after studying the
problem very carefully most of
the experts are extremely skep-
tical of finding a workable for
mula for common action i'll nom
military fields.
The problem, after all, is not
new. At the end of their last
meeting in December the min
listers charged the permanent
council with the job of exploring
the possibility of greater CO.
operation on economic and polit-
ical plans and to be ready with
recommendations in time for the
present meeting.
After breaking their heads for
four months, no recommended
tions have been made. The
whole result of study has been
to produce a catalogue of all
activity along this line being
carried on by member countries
both within other international
organizations and individually
