Forster Speaker For ADL Society Of Fellows
Arnold Forster, associate
national director and general
counsel of the Anti-Defamation
League of B’nai B’rith, will ad
dress a special Society of
Fellows meeting of the ADL at 7
p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry
Dubrof.
One of American Jewry’s most
eloquent and dynamic speakers,
Forster is the co-author of “The
New Anti-Semitism” and
moderator of the award-winning
radio series, “Dateline Israel.”
Arnold Forster began his ac
tivity with ADL in the late 1930s
when he organized a team of
lawyers to combat American
and Nazi-inspired hatemongers
and to prepare legal briefs in
volving our fundamental and
Constitutional rights.
Under Forster's direction,
ADL has maintained careful
scrutiny of domestic and foreign
hate groups and anti-Jewish and
anti-Israel propagandists.
Forster has authored or co
authored seven books including
“A Measure of Freedom,” “The
Troublemakers”, and “Danger
on the Right”.
In 1967, he began ADL’s
Dateline Israel radio series
which continues to be broadcast
throughout America and which
has been expanded to include a
series of television programs.
The Overseas Press Club of
America awarded Mr. Forster
its 1972 Citation for Excellence
for the Best Radio Interpreta
tion of Foreign Affairs.
Forster’s address to the ADL
Society of Fellows leadership
will focus on Arab boycott and
propaganda activities, domestic
and international anti-Semitism
and the security of the Jewish
community in 1976.

and Israel.
“Why don’t we import
Jews?” was a two-column
headline in the Guatemalan
newspaper La Nacion on April
12 over a commentary lauding
the Sanarate project. The com
mentator Irma Flaquer began:
“Politics apart, we have always
admired the Jews. And not only
because of Jesus, Marx, Freud
and Einstein and other enor
mous geniuses of the past, but
because the Jewish people are,
objectively speaking, extraor
dinary. If it is true that ‘by their
deeds, you shall know them,’
then it can be concluded, from a
little knowledge of the history of
this magnificent people and a
short tour of Israel, that the
Jews have ‘something’ that
makes them invincible.”
Top Leaders Urge
Amendment 22 Support
Detailing the effect Amendment 22 to the Georgia Constitution
would have on non-profit homes for the aged, Sidney Feldman, presi
dent of the Atlanta Jewish Welfare Federation, has joined Meyer L.
Balser, president of the Jewish Home, in sending the following letter
to the Jewish community of Atlanta. The amendment will be on the
ballot for the November 2 election.
“We are writing to you about a matter close to all of us and one
iritich ajfects families throughout Georgia. We ask you to vote YES
and supjmrt the passage of Constitutional Amendment #22, which is
well described in the enclosed brochure.
"This last session of the Georgia Legislature passed the Amend
ment. submitting it to the i>eople in the General Election on
November 2nd. The purpose of this Amendment is to allow the
General Assembly to provide a continuance of the ad valorem tax ex
emption for religiously supported non-profit homes for the aged.
There will be no loss of tax revenue if A mendment #22 is passed,
since none of these non-profit homes pays ad valorem taxes now.
"Located throughout Georgia, there are over 50,000 elderly per
sons living in these homes. Religious groups subsidize these homes
with some help from the Federal government and from the groups
themselves, also complying with the Internal Revenue Service tax
exemption statute. Taxation of such facilities would create crucial
financial problems for the sfxmsoring groups which could not be
overcome.
“The itassuge of this Amendment would benefit all residents and
families alike, and we urge that you join us in voting YES for
Amendment #22.
“With best wishes and dee/test thanks."

CARTER SENDS WIRE
Slepak, Others Arrested
Vladimir Slepak, veteran Soviet
Jewish “refusnik,” was one of 25
activitists arrested this week in
Moscow. Maria Slepak, in a news
conference, said her husband
had been sentenced to 15 days. It
is believed the arrests were
made to keep the protesters out
of sight during the meeting of
the Communist Politburo and
the Supreme Soviet.
Earlier, Presidential can
didate Jimmy Carter had sent a
telegram to the American Em
bassy in Moscow for delivery to
Slepak, after he and 11 other ac-‘
tivists had been beaten by Soviet
Police during a sit-in protesting
the denial of exit visas.
The telegram from Carter
said, “I have read with great con
cern about the treatment that
you and some of your colleagues
suffered recently. As you know,
I have spoken out on this matter
as Governor and during this
campaign and have referred to
your case by name. I want you to
know of my deep personal in
terest in the treatment you and
your colleagues receive.”
