Wexler Calls
Fortas Fight
“Lynching”
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Dr.
William A. Wexler, the president
of B’nai B’rith, has condemned
as “legislative lynching” the fil
ibuster to block a Senate vote
on the nomination of Justice For
tas to be Chief Justice. The cam
paign to postpone a vote “dis
torts the American system of gov
ernmental checks and balances
and places partisan politics rather
than judicial merit as a priority
concern before the Senate,” Dr.
Wexler said. The objections
raised by “a handful of Senators”
to Justice Fortas’ qualifications
“should be weighed against their
silence when Mr. Fortas was con
firmed to the Supreme Court in
1965,” Dr. Wexler said. “Their si
lence then speaks volumes now.
Have three years on the nation’s
highest bench diminished Justice
Fortas’ ability?” Dr. Wexler said,
“Or has the portent of a national
election diminished the integrity
of those who would block Jus
tice Fortas that they stoop to ap
peals to prurience to prevent a
vote on the merits?”
Parliamentary tactics to evade
a vote “also evade the Senate’s
Constitutional responsibility to
maintain continuity in Govern
ment,” Dr. Wexler declared. He
decried the campaign against Mr.
Fortas’ nomination as “tawdry in
so much of its content.” He add
ed that “in all of American his
tory, no nominee for Chief Jus
tice had to submit to the abuse
and vituperation to which Justice
Fortas has been subjected.”
SILVER LINING
By DR. SMAUEL SILVER
(A Seven Arts Feature)
I’m losing my boss.
I refer to Nathan Ziprin, the
man who has been editor of the
Seven Arts Feature Syndicate of
the Jewish Tele
graphic Agency
for more than a
quarter of a
century.
M r . Ziprin’s
eyes are bother
ing him and to
be an editor and
a writer your
eyes have to
funct i o n well.
He’s not going to stop writing,
Mr. Ziprin tells me. He’s going
to be as creative as ever but not
on a deadline basis.
It’s fashionable in some quar
ters to dislike your boss. I like
mine. Mr. Ziprin is one of the
nicest men around. His eyesight
may be poor, but his intellectual
vision is 20-20. He sees things
keenly. He sees Jewish life with
amazing clarity, and each time
he has turned out one of his lit
erary gems he has helped me
see the imperatives of the Jew
ish mission with great acuity.
It is fashionable here and there
to disparage your boss. I praise
mine. For Mr. Ziprin, bom over
seas, has lived, and written here
many years and he is a living
bridge between the Jewry of
previous times and the Jewry of
today (both in the U. S. and Is
rael). And people born here bene
fit greatly from the laudable
perspective of those who came
to this land from the “old coun
try.”
Mr. Ziprin’s first name is pure
Hebrew. Nathan means in our
sacred tongue “he gave.” And
Mr. Ziprin, who knows our lore
and literature and Hebraic in
sights so well, knows that the
Talmud tells us that when God
gives we are obligated to con
tinue the sequence of giving.
God gave my boss perspicac
ity. He has shared it in the hun
dreds of thousands of words he
has written to illuminate the
Amerioan-Jewish scene. God
gave Mr. Ziprin the ability to
love and he has used it on his
family and associates and fellow-
Americans. God gave him many
talents and Mr. Ziprin, true to
the spirit of noblesse oblige, has
continued the giving process, en
riching us all.
Fortunately, my boss will con
tinue to give of himself in new
literary endeavors. I am thank
ful to him for making me known
in various cities where the bless
ings of the Seven Arts Syndicate
prevail. I hope his successor will
let me stay on. If he does, one
of my tasks will be to continue
to be worthy of Mr. Ziprin’s ap
proval. A happy and productive
retirement, boss!
