The American Council for Judaism concluded its three-day national conference today following the usual attacks on Zionism by its leaders. These included Clarence L. Coleman, Jr., president of the Council; Henry S. Moyer, president of its philanthropic fund; and Rabbi Elmer Berger, executive vice-president. Mr. Coleman, in his address, accused Zionist leaders of agitating for a Jewish "enclave or sub-society."
I.L. Kenen, executive director of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, charged in a separate statement that the Council "is smearing American Jewish friends of Israel with misrepresentations about the objectives and purposes of the Zionist movement."
