The Conference, which is ex pected to draw about 600 people from throughout the country, opens Sunday, Nov. 9, and runs through Tuesday, Nov. 11, at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel. The banquet featuring Schorr starts at 7:30 p.m. Monday eve ning. He will analyze the Nov. 4 election results and the effect of the growing fundamentalist movement on those elections. He will also comment on the funda mentalist movement’s influence on American foreign policy, domestic issues, women’s issues and human rights. Schorr, whose news career spans almost 40 years, presently broadcasts regular commentaries for National Public Radio and is sought after for television net work guest appearances. He won three Emmy’s in 1973 for his cov erage of Watergate. His career has not been with out controversy. He left his posi tion as senior correspondent for Cable News Network in what he calls a dispute over journalistic integrity and independence, an issue that he says also closed out his 25-year association with CBS.

This will take place at a noon luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 11. Delcy Harber, local arran gements chairwoman, said, of the fashions, “We are very proud of the beautiful quality and design they reflect.” She also noted that a boutique which will open Sundav morning, in the French American Room, will feature Judaica by local artists and gift items for the holi days. Local participants will in clude M & M Galleries, Appleby Studios, Carol Brull Pottery and Lynn Oves.
