Dr. Prinz Elected President
Of American Jewish Congress
MIAMI BEACH (WNS) — The
American Jewish Congress con
cluded its five-day national bi
ennial convention here with the
election of Dr. Joachim Prinz to
the presidency and the adoption
of a series of resolutions on
civil and human rights. Dr.
Prinz succeeds Dr. Israel Gold
stein.
Dr. Prinz is rabbi of Temple
B’nai Abraham of Newark, N. J.
and an internationally-n o t e d
Jewish leader. A former leader
of the Jewish community of
Berlin, Dr. Prinz was one of the
first Jewish leaders to speak out
against the rising tide of Naz
ism and to urge mass immigra
tion to Palestine. He was ar
rested a number of times by the
Gestapo and finally expelled, in
1937. He came to the United
States at the invitation of the
late Dr. Stephen S. Wise.
Dr. Israel Goldstein, in his
presidential address, lashed out
against the State Department
for its “continuing acquiesence”
in the Arab campaign “aimed at
making the Jews of America
second class citizens.”
Declaring that the United
States, "unlike a number of other
governments,” had never coun
selled American firms “to re
frain from answering any ques-
tionaircs about the religious
composition of their personnel,”
Dr. Goldstein said the State
Department keeps on repeating
that it does not approve the
Arab boycott “but we of the
American Jewish Congress de
clare that our government has
not sufficiently condemned the
boycott and publicly made
known the fact that such prac
tices are deply repugnant to
American tradition.” He charged
that “our government has never
directed the American business
and shopping community to ig
nore the Arab boycott and block
ade” and that neither had it
taken steps to eliminate dis
crimination by Arab diplomats
in this country in the issuance
of consular invoices covering ex
ports. Dr. Goldstein urged the
government “to vigorously op
pose the Arab boycott of Ameri
can citizens."
At the same time Dr. Gold
stein asserted that “kid-glove
handling" of Egyptian dictator
Nasser by the State Department
may well have encouraged Egypt
to foment rebellion against the
pro-Western government of Le
banon. He said, “Nasser must be
made to understand that any
economic help from the United
States must be conditioned on
his keeping his hand out of con
spiracies in Jordan, Iraq or Le
banon.”
Peril to Survival
Highlighting one of the sess
ions was an address by Dr. Na
hum Goldmann, president of the
World Jewish Congress, warning
the convention that Jewish exis
tence was being threatened by

an "anonymous process of as-
smilation and disintegration”
which, he said, was “infinitely
more dangerous” because of its
quiet and cumulative effect.
Noting that "relief activity,
which for decades was the main
problem of Jewish life, has be
come a minor task today, “the
World Jewish Congress leader
asserted that the central prob
lem is "Jewish culture and Jew
ish education, because the dang
ers to Jewish survival derive at
present from within, not from
without,” adding that “this char
acterizes the complete change
which has taken place in the
position of world Jewry in the
past decade.”
At the same time Dr. Gold
mann stressed that it was of de
cisive importance for the future
of the Jewish people “to bring
the Jews of Soviet Russia back
into Jewish life and to create
for them the facilities for main
taining their Jewish conscious
ness.” He termed this task as
the top priority facing world
Jewry today and said that he
felt “there is reason to hope that
the Soviet regime will do away
with the de facto discrimination
it practices against the Jewish
minority” and that it will “grant
the Jews the same facilities to
maintain their identity that are
granted to other minorities” in
the Soviet Union.
Dwelling on Israel, Dr. Gold
mann said that a “fundamental
change of attitude” was neces
sary both in Israel and in the
Diaspora if Israel is to become
the guarantor of Jewish survi
val. He counselled that “it is the
task of Jewish leadership in Is
rael as well as in the Jewish
communities around the world
to recognize the dangers and
problems and to shape a new
policy to secure our future.”
Dr. Goldmann told the more
than 500 convention delegates
that the Jewish community of
Israel faces two decisive prob
lems—(1) the need to consoli
date its position politically and
economically, normalize its re
lations with the surrounding
countries and secure its exist
ence and (2) the need to “trans
form itself into the main force
of Jewish existence, the great
spiritual fortress which must re
place the destroyed European
centers as the generator of new
ideas and values of the kind
that always sustained the norm
al and spiritual existence of the
Jewish people in the world.”
These problems, Dr. Goldmann
cautioned, “can only be solved
by a continuous and increased
joint effort of the Jews in Israel
and the Jewish communities
outside Israel. The creation of
a proper relationship between
Israel and the Jewish people in
the Diaspora is a primary con
dition for the solution of the
second problem."
Hitlers Loose in U.S.
Reverend Martin Luther King,
Jr., leader of the Montgomery,
Alabama, bus boycott and one
of the most articulate civil rights
spokesman in the country, told
the convention in connection
with the recent bombings of
Jewish institutions in the South
that “there are Hitlers loose in
America today, both in high and
low- places” and that “as the tens
ions, bewilderment of economic
problems become more severe,
history’s scapegoats—the Jews—’
will be joined by new scape
goats, the Negroes.” He said the
“Hitlers will seek to divert peo
ple’s minds and turn their frus
trations and anger to the help
less and the outnumbered” and
that the question “then whether
the Negro and Jew shall live in
peace will depend upon how
firmly they resist, how effective
ly they reach the minds of the
decent Americans to halt this
deadly diversion.”

King lashed out against Pre<
dent Eisenhower’s plea for p

it a "potentially dangerous” a
proach which “can only encou

President Eisenhower, in
message to the conventic
praised the “humanitarian «
forts of the American Jewi
Congress for providing” a sole
did example for the builders
world peace” and for havi
long contributed to the strene
of the national community”
Blames South for Violence
Keynoting the convention, Si
ney Hollander of Baltimc
charged that the Southern states
bear the major responsibility
for the wave of violence and
bombings that have swept over
the area in recent months. “Law
less resistence to court orders,”
he asserted, “is ultimately re
sponsible for the assassins who
hurl nitroglycerine or who plant
dynamite.”
Calling on the Department of
Justice to reverse its hands-off
policy on racists violence on the
ground that such a position has
neither “constitutional, statutory
or political justification” Mr.
Hollander said “we do not
seek remedy in Federal ac
tion alone” and that “bringing
the FBI into the bombings is not
the cure-all.” The responsibility
for halting the wave of violence
and intimidation, he asserted,
lies not only in efficient police
investigation but “in reversal of
the present policy of the South
ern states of organizing massive
resistance to the nation’s de
segregation policy affirmed by
the Supreme Court.”
