Teen-aged leaders of the B’nai B’rith Youth Organization today presented Senator John J. Sparkman, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with a resolution endorsing the Administration’s proposal for a “peace corps” of youths to assist other lands. The resolution was adopted here by the executive boards of the BBYD’s two major divisions, Aleph Zadek Aleph and the B’nai B’rith girls.
Jerome Diamond, of Memphis, Tenn., president of AZA, and Alice Huberman, of San Francisco, president of the girls’ group, called on the Senator. They told him of “the interest shown by American youth in the establishment of the peace corps” because young people are “seriously concerned with world conditions.”
