Dear EdMor:
Many of our Anglo-Jewish
newspapers, at this time, are ho
full of material hostile to the at
titude of the American Jewish
Committee and the anti-Defama-
tion League in withdrawing from
the NCRAC, that il though it
would he appropriate briefly to
submit the cause of the national
agencies in this controversy.
The American Jewish Commit
tee had always favored joint de
cisions, forged around the con
ference table, where no loss eith
er of principle or autonomy of
any agency is involved. At the
same time, AJC has always stood
against the concept of a unitary
agency in Jewish life whose ma
jority decisions control all. The
heart of our position on this
matter is that the Jewish War
Veterans’ so-called "compromise”
Resolution, adopted in Atlantic
City, creates in the NCRAC such
a unitary agency. The alleged
right of dissent is a delusion—
as witness the misunderstanding

He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is
hasty of spirit exalfefh folly. —Proverbs, 14:29.
Life Is Too Short to Be Little
Thought for the Week
To boar grudges, to be mean, to take revenge, to get even.
There is so little time we are here. Like a stone rolling down hill,
each man’s life moves faster as it goes; it increases speed, gathers
momentum until it comes to rest as a dead stop, and we are alive
no longer.
The older we get, the less there is of life ahead and the faster
what is left goes. An hour seems a long, long time to a child of
six. At sixty, the first of the month always comes too soon with its
reminders of obligations. And we are less eager about each birth
day; it means more wrinkles and grey hair, or less hair.
As we grow older, we ought to be growing bigger, not in
height or girth, hut in mind and sould. We ought to be outgrowing
our pettiness; crying when things don't go our way, feeling sorry
for ourselves, complaining about being mistrated, nursing our griev
ances, treasuring our unhappiness, remembering and countinB over
our misfortunes, cluttering up our lives with littleness.
No man’s back is big enough to shoulder today’s burdens with
the hurts, slights, snubs, slurs, and unpleasantness of all the yes
terdays piled on top. Yes, “life is too short to be little.’’
—RABBI ALBERT GOLDSTEIN, New York City
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
which surrounds our present
“dissent.” Dissent without action
is meaningless; when it takes the
form of concrete action, contro
versy and recrimination become
the order of the day.
Moreover, there is implicit in
this Resolution, as in the Eval
uative Studies Committee report
before it, an acceptance of the
original Maclver proposals for
division of labor and allocation
of functions. This concept, to in
tegrated agencies like the ADI.
and AJC, who cumulatively have
87 years’ experience in commun
ity relations, is totally unaccep
table. At one point we are called
upon to turn over highly delicate
and complex work in the area of
interrcligious affairs to an-or
ganization not yet in existence.
AJC has always welcomed prac
tical moves for coordination and
program planning among all
agencies. Above all other agen
cies, we supported the develop
ment of local community rela
tions councils. We willingly ac-
AUGUSTA—Religion and med
icine should go hand in hand in
curing the ills of the peoples of
the world.

Robert B. Greenblatt, faculty
member at the University of
Georgia School of Medicine here,

I)r. Greenblatt spoke on "The
Origins of Medicine.” He traced
the path of medicine from the
first associations with religion to
the present expanded fields of
medicine. lie paid tribute to the
Mosaic law in its origination of
preventive medicine. In so doing
he cited from the Old Testament
the various methods of isolation
in attempting to prevent the out
break of disease and epidemics.
Dr. Greenblatt also quoted from
the New Testament in showing
the origins of psychomatic med
icine, particularly the effects of
devotedness to faith.
The speaker also outlined the
origins and trends in the field of
endocrinology.

cepted participation in joint fund
raising through welfare funds
and federations. But we are un
willing to accept a program of
domination that masks itself in
the guise of efficiency and coor
dination.
Roughly ten years ago, in an
atmosphere of perhaps even
greater emotionalism and hostil
ity, the American Jewish Com
mittee withdrew from a unitary
organization, the American Jew
ish Conference, because it felt
that its principles and autonomy
were being compromised. Today,
the American Jewish Conference
is no more. But its alleged ob
jectives have long since been re
alized through the splendid co-
cooperative efforts of many or
ganizations in behalf of the
State of Israel. Democray in
Jewish life means the give and
take that accompanies mature
negotiations, not the right of
the majority to override the
minority.
