Cites Influence Of Jews In America
NEW YORK, (JTA) — A leading American historian as¬ serted here that the two most significant elements in the contem¬ porary American culture were two Jewish value systems. He called on his fellow historians to dig deeply into American history for its Jewish components to better understand that culture.
Dr. Clifford K. Shipton, dhrector of the American Anquituar- ian Society in Worchester, Mass., said those elements were the complex of ancient Hebraic val-

The Israeli Govemment has conducted a survey in the United States to determine the reasons for the "brain drain" of professionals and students who work or study in the United States, and to encourage them to return to Israel.
Special offices to aid the return of the trained Israelis to Israel, where they could contribute to the country's development, have been established in New York and Los Angeles, with a branch in Tel Aviv aiding the project by
ues and those of the Jewish hn¬ migrants to the United States.
DR. SHIWON, author of many multi-volume studies of New England history, presented a paper "An Americanist Looks at American Jewish History," at a joint session of the 81st an¬ nual meeting of the American Historical Association with the American Jewish Historical So¬ ciety. Some 8,000 historians at¬ tended the meeting.
He said American historians should assume the task of col¬ lecting and studying all avail¬ able records of the presence throughout American history of Jews to understand the ful im¬ pact of Jews on the American contemporary culture. He said "the two most significant fac¬ tors In determining the charac¬ ter of American cidture today "are the Puritan version of the Hebraic contribution and that of the modem Jewish immigrants."
TBB HISTORIAN said that the day of "professional' preju- dlce"jh{|s passed and that there
of question historians should seek data on: "To what extent - did the cultural background of a Brandeis or a Frankfurter shape their contributions to a society which we are earnestly trying to make the most en- ' lightened the world has ever seen."
He added that "the Jews who lia,ve contributed so much to American medicine and science derive thehr intellectual energy, their vocations, from, their- cul-^ tural heritage." He declared that iiistorians need to know "who the immigrants were; not se¬ lected, individuals among them but every individual in at least selected communities" and their European backgroimds.        ,,'

He told his fellow historians that the early American settlers rejected, ta their poitical and social outlook, "the medieval ac¬ ceptance of evil inherent in pre- destinarianism and turned back to the Old Testament for the belief that man can and ought to effect his own salvation."
"One of the most fascinating problems of the history of Am¬ erican society is the question of interrelation and comparison be¬ tween the Puritan-Hebraic con¬ tribution and that of the Jew¬ ish immigrants, between a cul¬ ture in literary translation and the same culture represented by livtag individuals, the- Jewish newcomers," Dr. Shipton de¬ clared.
