STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
No Easy Sliding Seen for Zionists'
New President Says Columnist
By PHINEAS J. BIRON
TOUGH JOB FOR MR. FRISCH
Although the official Zionist press
proclaims peace between the various
Zionist factions, the truth is that the
Zionist convention failed to conciliate
the opposing per.
sonalities. . . Dr.
Neumann and Dr.
Silver are still sulk-ing
in their tents.
They feel that the
recent Greater Ac-tions
Committee in
Israel jeopardized
Zionist work in the
U.S.A... They
also resent the
election of Dr. Nahum Goldman to
the chairmanship of the American
section of the Jewish Agency. . . In
other words the new Zionist adminis-tration
tinder the leadership of Daniel
Frisch will have a tough time. ..
It will have to carry on without the
active cooperation of Neumann and
Silver. . . .And frankly, we cannot
blame the outgoing President. . . He
has a right to feel double-crossed by
the Israeli leaders, who instead of re-warding
him for his tremendous po-litical
help have turned against him.
. . .It is reported from reliable sources
that Dr. Neumann will devote himself
to the task of translating the Lowder-milk
Plan (TVA on the Jordan) into
reality. .. he plan requires $250,-
000,000 and enjoys the support of the
Israeli Government.
MISCELLANY
Sports fans are called in Israel Me-shugayim
L'Sport. . . In other words
they are considered "nuts". . . If you
want to make a quick profit ship He-brew
Typewriters to Israel. . . .There
is a terrible shortage of machines, the
government offices are handicapped in
their work. . . .Yes, it is true that the
importation of non-Kosher meat into
Israel was stopped by order of Israel's
Minister of Supply. . . And nobody
can get married or divorced in the
Jewish State without sanction from the
Rabbinate. . . .The KKK in the South
is gaining in strength and increasing
its membership. . . . Ted Thackrey's
10 cent daily newspaper is a huge
success and pays its own freight hav-ing
achieved an average daily circula-tion
of over 60,000. . . We mention it
because Thackrey's Compass is keep-sng
up the good fight for an indepen-
(ent Israel. -
A HUMAN BANKER
The President of New York's fastest
growing bank, The Modern Industrial
Bank, is Jacob Leichtmian, a man who
is intensely interested in human af-fairs.
. . .Leichtman was a close friend
of Stephen S. Wise and an active sup-porter
of the World Jewish Congress
and the American-Polish Federation...
Recently he invited Henry Morgenthau
Jr. former Secretary of the U.S. Treas-urv
to join him as Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Bank. ..
Morgenthau accepted the job and is now
helping Leichtman develop the bank
into a real constructive instrument of
financial assistance to small business-men.
. . .Leichtman in his early fifties,
knows a lot about modern economics.
He has definite ideas about the present
political and economic situation. ..
New York business circles and labor,
for that matter, are watching his suc-cessful
expansion with genuine admira-tion-
. .4nd New York Jews particu-larly
expect great things from the new
Leichtman-Morgenthau team. ..
