Earlier, George N. Craig, national commander of the Ameri¬ can Legion, warned the 400 delegates attending the parley that subversive groups In the U.S. are attempting to destiloy national unity "through large-scale cunning campaigns to aggravate racial, religious and ethnic bigotry and tensions."

As dirt'tor of UNRR and IRO in Germany from 1945 to 1048, Mr. Flshbein saw at first-hand the gigantic reUef; program of the Joint Distribution Commit¬ tee In operation. Keen personal .observation, coupled with a sympathetic understanding of the needs of the concentration camp survivors, eminently quali¬ fies him to Interpret the activi¬ ties of the J DC, major Anterican agency aiding distressed Jews abroad.
Mr. Fishbein's work aa a lead¬ ing UNRR and iRO official brought him into close contact not only with JDC assistance programs but with thousands of Jews and DPs themselves. He filled his post with distinction ^nd won warm praise from high
military and government, offi¬ cials and DP leaders. I^ucllis D. Clay, American Military Gover¬ nor of Germany, In a personal letter, praised his handling .   .  .
Mr. Fi«bbeln

Jacob Blausteln, president of the AJC, told the delegates that Jewish communities In this coun¬ try have the "permanent obliga¬ tion" of promoting better hitman relations among ali groups in American life. The J.D.A. is the fund-raising arm of the Ameri¬ can Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League.
The Jewish leaders, represent¬ ing 14 states, were told by Mr. Blausteln that this "permanent obligation" must enjoy the same measure of support that the Jewish, people give to local, nat¬ ional and overseas philanthrof)- les. "For it should be obvious," he declared, "that the continued .<tiihility of American Jewry Is es.sentlal If we are to maintain our communal life in all its In¬ stitutional forms, and to a.sslst Jews abroad and In Israel to achieve .security for themselves.
Mr. Blausteln maintained it Is no  longer sufficient  for  Ameri-

can Jews to concern themselves exclusively with philanthropic activities "as essential as they are," but must take a wide¬ spread and active interest In. civil, political, economic and re¬ ligious positions concerning themselves and their fellow Americans.
Dr. John Slawson, executive vice-president of the American Jewish Committee, told the con¬ ference that America cannot maintain its International "lead¬ ership for peace" If discrlmlna- tlori against minorities discredits the United States In the eyes of world opinion. Terming the need for America's "160 odd religious sects and 60 natlona|l region groups to learn to live together In amity and dignity" the "num¬ ber one problem," Dr. Slawson declared the key to the solutibn lay In the shift from "philanth¬ ropy for the needy to healthy Inter-sectarlan and Intergroup relations among our people." He urged Jews, as members of a re¬ ligious group who have "suffer¬ ed more than any other people from discrimination," to lend vigorous support to prdgrams de¬ signed to foster Intergroup ami¬ ty.
