are represented. . • • Seeking the
post are Rabbi Irving Miller, the
newly elected Z. O. A. president,
and Mrs. Rose Halprin of Hadas-
sah. . . . But all indications point
to the fact that neither will get
it. . . . This is because the Zionist
Laborites and Hadassah seem to
oppose Miller’s candidacy, while
the Z. O. A. and Mizrachi object
to Mrs. Halprin’s candidacy. . . .
As a result, Louis Lipsky, the
veteran American Zionist leader,
will probably remain chairman of
the Council—a post he has had for
several years. ... It must be said
that the Council has done a very
fine job under Lipsky’s administra
tion. . . . Although Israeli affairs
are now handled in Washington by
the Israel embassy, the Council,
as an American body, helped no
end to round up members of Con
gress to vote for grants-in-aid for
Israel. . . . The Council is also, to
a very large extent, responsible
for the fact that both the Repub
lican and Democratic parties, at
their recent conventions in Chica
go, adopted platforms favorable
to Israel. . . .
Other work of importance to
Israel is being done by the Coun
cil on the American scene in a
quiet but effective way. ... At
present the Council is undergoing
a reorganization with some of its
members being replaced by the
parties whom they represent.. ..
The new members will include not
only Rabbi Miller and Mrs. Hal
prin—even if they are not elected
chairmen—but also Rabbi Heller,
the new president of the Labor
Zionist Organization of America,
and others. . . . Some of the func
tions now performed by the Amer
ican section of the Jewish Agency
executive in the field of educa
tion, youth activities and others
may be transferred to the Council,
which will also have an economic
department. . . . Thus, the Coun
cil’s functions will not be limited
to political activities, and the pub
lic will hear more about its work
as soon as it expands in other di
rections. . . .
Between Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur, 1950, a Navy plane
flew over the U. N. lines in Korea
and dropped leaflets announcing
that the Marines had landed on
Inchon. A Jewish chaplain
snatched up a fistful of leaflets
and printed on them — up and
down, Korean style—the notice of
his Yom Kippur sen-ices. In a mo
ment an officer grabbed them and
rushed them to the commanding
officer. The intepreter started to
translate but when Tie got to the
chaplain’s message, lie got stuck.
At which point the commanding
officer took over and started to
read the postscript. The next in
stant he lot out a roar: “Have
all the leaflets got this? Is the
Jewish chaplain advertising by

During a Rosh Hashanah service
on the Natkong river line in Ko
rea in 1950, the worshippers were
amazed to see a large number of
South Koreans gathered around
the chapel and peering in. Inquiry
revealed that they had never wit
nessed a Jewish service. Their vo
cabulary has no word for “rabbi.”
Many of them had heard of Jews
from missionaries but had never
seen one before. For several hours
they stood patiently watching. The
seund of the Shofar delighted
them, and after the service, they
requested that it be sounded again.
They left sadly disappointed when
the chaplain explained very care
fully that it was forbidden.
