State Dept. Gets American Jewish  Conference Demands
Dr. Hlephcn H. Wise
A fine triliule to the Uile Kil win .1. Schanfarber and a contri butlon to the Schanfarlier Mc morial Fund ha\e been receiv ed from Habbi Slephen S. Wise of the l'''ree Synagogue. Now York City.
Rabbl Wi.se. in a recent letter to Rabbl Harry KaplaK director of the Ohio State University B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, wrote:
"Your visit to New York In connection with the Founders. Day Dinner of the Jewish In¬ stitute of Religion reminds me of the plan of your commun¬ ity to erect a fitting and en¬ during Memorial to my belov¬ ed friena, the late Edwin Schanfarber.
I  always thought of Ed as one  of  the   fine-st   laymen   In American Jewry.    His was a great  heart  for  the cause  of his   people   and   his   peoples faith.    I  know how much  he. meant   to   you   'and   to   Hillel, and     to     every     worthwhile cause     In     your     community and the nation.    I beg you to accept the enclosed check for for the Memorial   Fund, as a token  of a  deep  and  abiding affection     for     a     cherished friend   and  for  his. memory".

The conference declared that it spoke for the majority of American Jews In asking the LInited Naii(ms lo incorporate In their charter alT International Hill nf Rights, to speed the re- ccmstitullon of Palestine as a .lewish Commonwealth, and re¬ store the civil and j)olltlcal rights of the .levws of Eurojie. undertake rhensures for their rehabilitation and resettlement apd the restoration nf their prop¬ erty confiscated by the Nazis and their collaborators, and to punish tho.se responsible for the war crimes against the Jew¬ ish people.
The Conference's demand on the matter of an International Blh of Rights, unlike that of the American Jewish Committee, requests protection for "the In¬ alienable right of all religious ethnic, and cultural groujis lo maintain and foster their re¬ spective group Identities an the basis of equality."

'"Sow when those who. have been so long silenced hy the oppressor are lo Ih* permitted tn speak, it would be gr(>ss Ir- er|uily if this rlRht were to lie gri'.ntcd to all, and wthhold only from the most opjiressed; reserv¬ ing for them only the dubious privilege of ex  parte utterance.
"It is pertinent to note, too. that every nation which has de¬ elareil war against the Axis, in¬ cluding many who withheld that deelaratlon until March 1. 1945, will be represented In the new international organization. We ask that right also for the flr.st victim I'f Nazi aggression.
"After twenty centuries of wandering and discrimination, climaxed by the events of tne last nightmare decade, the Jew¬ ish people is burdened with the effects of countless wrongs per¬ petrated against it. The right¬ ing of these wrongs Is today the great desideratum not only of their particular victims, but of all mankind. The Councll of the United Nations, therefore, con.sti- tutes the proper forum for their discussion, the proper Instru¬ ment for their rectification- There, the Jewish people has a right 10 he heard.
