CJ.A. Drive Closes Sunday
J. Committee Tangles
The 1949 Combined Jewish
Appeal of Greater Boston will
wind up Sunday evening with
a closing dinner at the Hotel
Somerset before a capacity
gathering of invited campaign
workers and leading contribu-
tors.
Meanwhile, a group of campaign-
ers, designated by General Chair-
man Irving Usen as "The Minute-
men" of the 1949 campaign, were
working feverishly at 72 Franklin
Street headquarters in a deter-
mined effort to cover cards which
have not been solicited.
The extension or the campaign
to Sunday, November 13, has an-
abled campaign workers to rAake
up for the slow start in solicita-
tion. By mid-week, the efforts of
the volunteers had borne results.
They had whittled down the num-
ber of unreported cards in the

Final Coverage Surge
Receives Ben-Gurion Denial,
Frisch Retraction on Words
Regarding U. S. Jewish Youth
Unanimous condemnation of publicity methods employed by
the American Council of Judaism was voiced by the Executive
Committee of the American Jewish Committee at its recent Chi-
cago meeting, Matthew Brown, chairman of the Boston chapter,
revealed yesterday.
The dramatic success of the negotiations carried on by the
Committee which resulted in Premier David Ben-Gurion issuing
a denial that he had stated that one of the f
goals of Israel now was to bring Jewish youth f
I there with or without their parents' consent ?!
was disclosed by Brown.
A retraction also was obtained from
Daniel Frisch, president of the Zionist Organ-
ization of America who urged U. S. 'Jewish
youth to go to Israel. He referred to them
as "American-bred young Jews who want to
live as Jews � minus the hyphen � un-
der the smiling skies of the reborn Israel."

Ben-Gurion
Premier Defines  Relationship
Of World Jewry to  Israel
TEL AVIV � Relationship of world Jewry to the new state of Israel was defined this
week by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion in an address to the Keren Hayesod Convention.
He warned against two fallacies:
(1), that the establishment of the
State obviates the need for the
Zionist movement and Zionist
funds; (2), that with the establish-
ment of the state, the Zionist or-
ganization can continue its activi-
ties in Israel as if the State did not
exist.
Ben-Gurion warned that dona-
tions of funds to Israel does not
give to any Zionist the right to ap-
ply pressure on the Israeli govern-
ment or to attempt to direct its
policies.
"During the Mandatory regime,
the Jewish Agency was a kind of
'state within a state.' But there can-

"As We Were Saying..."
A Few Notes On Dulles,
Lehman And Jim Curley
By ROBERT E. SEGAL
By the time these musings are cast into type, the election
results will be known and some of the passions whipped up by
campaigning will have subsided.
Those passions, in part, have served again
to remind us that group labeling and a depart-
ure from the good habit of respecting the
worth and dignity of the individual are faults
of far too many people active in election con-
tests.
The John Foster Dulles - Herbert H. Leh-
man spat over bigotry is one case in point; a

Friedman Not To Quit Brandeis
NEW YORK � Rumors that Benny Friedman, ath-
letic director at Brandeis University, was heading for
the Holy Cross football coaching job were quashed yes-
terday by the ex-Michigan all-American.
"I talked to Bill Osmanski, Holy Cross head coach,
several weeks ago and he told me what a tough' time he
was having. I offered to help him out," explained Ben-
ny.   "I drove over three times last week.
"I'll probably help the team out for the rest of the
season, but the story about my becoming head coach,
assistant coach or anything else at Holy Cross is silly.
I have a full-time job at Brandeis."
The Crusaders tripped Colgate last Saturday for
their first victory and not one Holy Cross pass was in-
tercepted. Some sports experts ventured the opinion
that it was a development which might have stemmed
from Friedman's pre-game tutoring.
