A resolution pledging “wholehearted support” for the forthcoming Israeli bond drive in the United States was adopted here today at the annual convention of the American Association of English-Jewish Newspapers. The convention was addressed by Henry Montor who will direct the drive.
Philip Slomovite of Detroit, president of the Association, pointed out the importance of the English-Jewish press to the advancement of world Jewry, asserting that English was the predominant language outside of Israel where Hebrew is principally spoken.
The convention mapped plans for the expansion of news and feature service to the 35 newspapers which are affiliated with the Association. Leo H. Frisch, treasurer, reported that at the initiative of the Association a program to standardize Hebrew and Yiddish religious and traditional terms into English is progressing. Three leading educators–Dr. Moshe Davis, Dr. Nelson Glueck and Dr. Abraham Neumann–were collaborating to bring about a standarization of terms, he said.
