A report on joint program planning and division of labor among organizations active in the field of combatting anti-Semitism in the United States–based on the decisions adopted by the National Community Relations Advisory Council conference at Atlantic City in line with the recommendations made in the Maclver Report–was adopted here on Sunday at a closed meeting of the Evaluative Studies Committee of the N.C.R.A.G., it was learned here today.
The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith voted against the report, and indicated that they may leave the N.C.R.A.C. if the recommendations contained in the report are adopted at the plenary session of the N.C.R.A.C., which is to take place in Chicago at the end of June. The Jewish Labor Committee abstained from voting on the report which was adopted by a vote of seven to two.
In voting against the report, the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League submitted a joint brief offering to work with the individual agencies functioning in specific fields of work relating to the fight against anti-Semitism. However, the recommendations by the two organizations were not accepted.
