Freedom Foundation, honoring Washington’s birthday, today awarded $100,000 to more than 800 American individuals and organizations for distinguished contributions to freedom during 1950. The awards were presented by Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in this shrine of American history, not far from the hallowed grounds where Washington and his soldiers spent the winter of 1776.
Dr. Norman Salit, vice-president of the Synagogue Council of America, was one of the recipients of the awards. A posthumous award was made to Al Jolson for the prevision of his will donating sums to Jewish, Protestant and Catholic charities. The award to Sr. Salit was for his addresses on religion over the Mutual Broadcasting System.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
