Forces affecting American Jewry are “consciously and on unconsciously providing fewer and fewer issues to separate us and more area for ##ion and agreement,” Philip M. Klutznik, chairman of the Jewish center division committee of the Jewish Welfare Board, told the ninth annual convention of the Midwest action of the J.W.B. this week-end.

The pressure of events is “driving the American Jewish community to an inner city, sometimes in spite of itself,” he added. Referring to the role of the Jewish community center, he declared that it must be a product of outside conditions affecting the Jewish community as well as the direction and motivation supplied by its leadership.
