The American Council for Judaism opened its 15th annual conference today with an attack on efforts of “Zionist controlled agencies” to lure Jewish refugees into Israel.
Delegates to the four-day conference heard a message from President Eisenhower, which praised the council for contributing to America’s “domestic and spiritual well-being and to our country’s international objectives.”
Meanwhile, Clarence Coleman, Council president, has protested to Chicago Mayor Richard Dailey against the latter’s proclamation of the period of January 5 to February 5 as “Zionism Month” in Chicago. The objective of the month is to enroll additional members in the Zionist movement in the Chicago area.
