Gov. Milton J. Shapp of Pennsylvania was presented with the Honorary Membership Award of the National Committee for Furtherance of Jewish Education here today. The award, the first ever given by the NCFJE, was presented to Gov. Shapp in recognition of “his exemplification of Jewish ideal and his lifelong espousal of the Jewish cause.” The presentation was made by Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht, NCFJE executive vice-president and J. James Plesser, president of the Jewish educational service organization.
