Mortimer May, president of the Zionist Organization of America, today, on behalf of the entire ZOA membership, addressed a strong protest to the directors of Town Hall because of its sponsorship of a countrywide tour by an anti-Israel Arab delegation.
In a telegram to the directors of Town Hall Mr. May said: “On behalf of the entire membership of the Zionist Organization of America I must register the strongest protest over the vicious anti-Israel propaganda being disseminated by an Arab delegation touring our country under Town Hall sponsorship. Recent addresses of Messrs. Uzri and Haddad at Princeton deliberately misrepresented and distorted the issues of the Middle East, in which the American people have a vital interest. Recalling Town Hall’s scrupulous fairness and impartiality in the past, we are shocked to find Town Hall now lending itself to such shameful exhibitions and urge a halt to this propaganda campaign under your auspices.”
