A new Yiddish-language weekly newspaper Der Moment appeared here today to present the views of the newly established “Action Committee for Democratic Defense” (C.A.D.) composed of Jews and non-Jews, which urges adoption of the new French constitution proposed by General Charles de Gaulle.
The organization is also issuing a Jewish information bulletin, in French, three times a week.
Prominent in the organization are Marc Goutkin, general secretary of the French-Jewish War Veterans Association; Elie Soffer, secretary of the French Resistance group, “Companions of November 8th,” and Gen. Edmond Laurent, a leading figure in the France-Israel Association headed by Jacques Soustelle, Minister of Information.
