The national council of the Labor Zionist Organization of America, meeting in a three-day session here, today called upon the conscience of the civilized world “to take whatever measures possible to stop the anti-Semitic campaign of the Soviet Government and to open the borders which separate those Jews from Israel.”
Addressing the council session. Rabbi James G. Heller, president of the LZOA, called on the United States Government to take the lead at the United Nations General Assembly session which resumes tomorrow to morally condemn the actions of the Soviet Union. He pledged American Jewry’s support of Israel’s reception of Jews from Eastern Europe who can leave their countries to go to Israel.
