This marks the first time At lanta will host a meeting of the national ADL committee. South east Regional director Stuart Lewengrub said it is a reflection of the growth and influence of the Jewish community here that Atlanta has been chosen as the host city for the annual meeting. The reports, discussions and analysis the ADL governing body hears at the upcoming meeting in Atlanta will help the 200-member national board determine ADL’s official policy and future agenda. Meetings at which national ADL policy matters are discussed and voted on are closed to the public. But there are several events the public is encouraged to attend including a gala dinner Thursday evening, Oct. 30, hon oring Atlantan Gerald Cohen, who will be awarded ADL’s Abe Goldstein Human Relations Award. Some 500 people are expected to attend the $250 a person award dinner at which Dr. Ronald Sobel, chairman of ADL’s National Ex ecutive Committee and senior rabbi of Manhattan’s Temple Emanu-El, is the keynote speaker. Also open to the public is the Oct. 31 luncheon with keynote Ronald Sobel speaker Sen. Howell Heflin of Alabama. Noted for his wit and insight into judicial matters, Heflin has served as chief justice of the Alabama Surpreme Court and as chairman of the National Association of Chief Justices. Also open to the public during ADL’s Atlanta meeting is the Nov. 1 luncheon featuring Dan Halperin, former Economics Minister at Israel’s Embassy in Washington. Reservations are required for the dinner and all luncheons, which will take place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel downtown. Cost for each luncheon is $15. In addition to policy consider ations involving divestiture in South Africa and the matter of “goals” and “timetables” in af firmative action programs, the National Executive Committee will also discuss issues pertaining to Nazi war criminals and whether to support adoption of English as the official language of the United States. “We want the country to be as democratically disposed as pos sible,” said Betty Cantor, asso ciate director of ADL’s Southeast Regional Office. “There are those who feel that you really cannot be involved in the political and economic process if you’re not conversant in the language. Then, there are those who say this is a pluralistic society and you can and should have many languages.” Ms. Cantor indicated that first and second generation American Jews might appreciate such a posi tion considering their parents and/or grandparents probably did not speak English when they came to this country. During the concluding session of the NEC on Nov. 1, there will be a special forum entitled “Ter rorism, Extremism and the Media: What is news? What is exploita tion?” It will be a 90-minute panel and audience discussion featuring such media notables as Paul Raymon, general manager of WAGA-TV, who will moder ate; Tom Teepen, editor of the Atlanta Constitution; Joseph Kane, Atlanta bureau chief. Time magazine; and Bob Furnad, vice-president and senior execu tive producer, Cable News Net work. That evening, the public is invited to a complimentary des sert reception and performance by “The Show Biz Kids” of the Northside School of the Arts.
