Nam policy.

This will be the eighth year in which the United Jewish Fund and Coimcil wUl sponsor the Young Leadership Development Program.

Other organizations have also benefited,
A select group of young men and women are annually given the opportunity to be exposed to a carefully prepared and planned series of sessions on subjects and problems which are essential programs of the local, national and overseas organizations sup ported by the UJFC.
DAVID FORMAN Will serve this year as chairman of the Young Leadership Development Program. His co-chahroein will be Norma Katcher. The Plan¬ ning Committee includes the fol¬ lowing: Ben Zox, Gerald Fried¬ man, Stanley Katz, Mrs. Stanley Katz, Gordon Zacks, Mrs. John Resler, Bernard Yenkin, Mrs. Bernard Yenkin, Edwin Elhnan, Marvin Pllskhi and MiUard Cum¬ mins.
This year the program will consist of the following sessions:

(The New York Times, In an editorial, sayhig that "Jews are no more capable of arriving at a monolithic community position on Viet Nam than are Christians or agnostics" and that there is no reason why they should, strongly criticized Anlbassador Goldberg for becoming an Inter¬ mediary of the Administration with Jewish groups. Pohittoig out that other Presidents had similar intermediaries, the Thnes said: "The existence of such an inter¬ mediary is nonetheless throughly distasteful and unwarranted. No American citizens need a special emlssetry from their own govern¬ ment, much less anyone who might, on that account, be pre¬ sumed to be a special-interest representative for them inside government. Ambassador Gold¬ berg's participation in this pri¬ vate conference was an unfortu¬ nate diversion from the vitally important work he is doing at the United Nations."
DEOLARmO that he httends "to pursue" his efforts to get President Johnson's view on the statements attributed to him. Sen,'Javits explained he would not ask him, nor expect him to deal with this frontally, by mak¬ ing some statement that he did or didn't say it.
"But I would hope he would, in his own way, and in his own thne, indicate that he thinks Americans are Americans, and not people of one faith or anoth¬ er. Jews should not be held hos¬ tage for general American poli¬ cy," he said.
PERSISTENT reports about the President saying American Jews should support hhn if they expect continued U.S. support for Israel "had best be set to rest," Javits continued.
"I do not believe there is any¬ thing to them intrinsically. I do not believe the President feels that way. He has every right to be irritated and frustrated. The President is human, just as all of us. But this is not char¬ acteristic of the President gener¬ ally. He had had great backinig from people of the Jewish faith. Look at me. I represent the peo¬ ple of the State of New York; I am Jewish, and I support the President,"  he  declared.
JWV Head Slams 'Unlioly Alliance'
Malcohn A. Tarlov, newly- elected National Commander of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, warn¬ ed delegates to the American Legion convention that "a fifth column of ultra-rightists are massed in America bent on de¬ stroying our free institutions from within."
In a message to the Legion convention in Washington, Com¬ mander Tarlov cited "the Ameri¬ can Nazi Party, the John Bbrcai Society, and the Ku Kliix Klan, as an unholy alliance being forged together under a canopy of fear peddling. They have banded together," he said, "using v the excessive of the extremlkts of the civil rights movement as a wedge to drive Americans to their banner. Extremists of both ends of the political spectrum should be rejected by all Ameri¬ cans, both publicly and pri¬ vately."
