^To Direct Project Making Israel An Aviation Center
NEW YORK. (JTAl—The im¬ portance of keeping Israel pro¬ perly defended was emphasized here by Dr. Sydney Goldstein, internalionally-famous aeronau¬ tical authority and former chair¬ man of Britain's Aeronautical Research Council.
The visiling British .scienlisl. here to leclur* at the University of Michigan, California Institute of Technology, and olher leading U. S, universltle.'?, disclosed that he has accepted an appointment to the Chair of Applied Mathe¬ matics at the Haifa Technlon, Israel's Insllliite of Technology, where he will direct the estab¬ lishment of a new Department of Aeronautical Engineering,
The project, which entails an expenditure of $1,500,000 to be met In part by the friends of the Technlon In this counlry and by the Israel Government, Is ex¬ pected to make Israel a center of aviation which will serve the en¬ tire Middle East
brought up for discussion Tues¬ day was the membership policies and the membership rate struc¬ ture, which no doubt will be of in'erest lo the entire Jewish coiTimunlly. The conclusions reached were made after months of study and investigation of similar Jewish centers in vari¬ ous cities throughout the U. S. It is the sincere hope of the Jew¬ ish Center board, that the fol- lov'lng rate schedule will appeal lo all Jewish men, women and children, as it gives them the "last word" in facilities for a well rounded-out recrealiiinal. cultural and social program.
In arriving at basic policies and a memliership rale slruclure the commiltee look into consid¬ eration the fact that one of the major aims nf the Center is to develop a sen.se nf affiliallon and helnnging- In Ihe .lewish community.
This can be done best by pro¬ viding opportunities for shar¬ ing and a sense of participallnn in the total Center program. Such a sharing implies lioth privileges and responsibilities for those in the communily who are definitely willing to identify themselves with the Center, both for purposes of Jewish group as¬ sociation ahd as an expression nf the organized Jewish conl- munlly. Such Identlficalion can i*l0me through a membership re¬ lationship which involves re- spon.slbiiities for electing a gov¬ erning board, deciding upon fiollcy. and carrying out all of the responsibilities in carrying nut the day to day conduct of the Center.
The basic membership fee is baserl upon the assumption that every educational project In America which is operated on adequate 'standards Involves community financing on a de¬ ficit basis, not only because it must make provision for those who cannot afford, but primari¬ ly because adequately conduct¬ ed educalionai projects are very

Governing Bodies of American Jewish
Congress Approve Original Principles
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The executive and administrative com¬ mittees 6f the American Jewish Congress, meeting this week at Hotel Statler, approved a statement of rededication to the organiza¬ tion's original principles. The A.J.(:., founded 32 years ago by the lale Dr. Stephen S. Wise, said in' iis statement that Jews true to the American ideal and/o Jewish tradition "reject every form of totalitarianism as impeVilUng the survival of the Jewish people and the freedom of mankind."
The statement of principles, made public by A.J.C, president Rabbi Irving Miller, added: "Since the essence of both the Amer'lcan ideal and the Jewish tradition Is the sacredness of the individual, we can pursue these objectives only ihrough the free democratic process, and must re¬ ject every form of totalitarian¬ ism as Imperilling the survival of the Jewish people and the freedom of mankind. These ob¬ jectives flow out of our joint responsibilities as Americans and as Jews. In their realization, our heritage of American demo¬ cracy and the tradition of Juda¬ ism win achieve fulfillment." The statement listed the follow¬ ing goals of the A.J.C.
"1. Assurance and extension ol the fundamental    freedoms   of
man through elimination of all forms ol* political, social and economic discrimination on grounds of race, color, religion, ancestry, of nationai origin.
"2. In order that Jews living In America may be meaningful and creative, the A.J.C. seeks to promote more democratic or¬ ganization, stimulate an Inform¬ ed awareness of Jewish affairs, encourage Jewish scholarship and foster the affirmation of Jewish religious, cultural and historic identity.
"3. Assist the people of Israel' to develop In freedom, security and peace, and promote miitual understanding and cooperation between America and Israel and between the Jewish communi¬ ties of both lands.
