Even the deep south will eventually accept integration, an American Jewish Committee leader who, as an attorney, won a federal court injunction banning prosecution of civil rights workers in Americus, Georgia, asserted here tonight.
Morris B. Abram, chairman of the organization’s executive board, made the prediction at the American Jewish Committee’s first Herbert H. Lehman Relations Award dinner. Guests of honor were former Gov. and Mrs. Lehman; Mrs. Henry LIitleson, 88-year-old philanthropist, who received the award; and Robert S. Benjamin, chairman of the United States Committee for the United Nations, who received a special Committee award from Ambassador Adlai Stevenson.
