Once again, the U.N.’s “Con-|arKj staunch fighters against all
science Corps” has held its an
nual meeting here. Again, as al-
ways in the past, many of the
foremost Jewish organizations in
the world have played a vital
role in delibrations of the group.
And again, the world is just a
bit better ioff, the U.N. is just a
types of discrimination against
minorities the world over.
The subcommission’s studies
regarding anti-Semitic manifes-
tations have helped awaken the
world to this phenemenon as a
bit stronger and an iota closer ^ danger to the freedom of all peo-
ples. The group’s study dealing
with] religious rights and prac-
tices has resulted in the formu-
lation of a preliminary set of
guiding principles for all the
countries in the world. Interna-
to the real needs of the peoples
of the world, due to the meet-
ing of this group.

What is the ‘'Conscience
Corps?” Officially, it is the Hu-
man Rights Commission’s Sub-
commission on Prevention of i tional conventions have been
Discrimination and Protection of adopted as a result of the sub-
Mdnorities. Because that formal
title is so lengthly, newspaper-
men have coined other, unoffi-
cial names for the group. One
name, amply descriptive, is the
“anti-bias” unit. “Conscience
Corps,” however, may come
closed to describing the worth
of this group. For it deals with
basic human rights. And it is the
U.N.’s concern with human
rights that points to the world
organization’s conscience.
Here are some of the subjects
discussed, studied and surveyed
with great care by this group:
Manifestations of anti-Semitism;
Religious Rights and Practices;
Freedom from Discrimination in
Employment; Freedom from Dis-
crimination in Education; the

commission’s studies on discrim-
ination in education and on bias
in employment.
This year, looking ahead to
future work by the subeioimmis-
sion, it has been proposed that a
survey be made of “the right to
freedom of movement and resi-
dence within the borders of each
state.” A spokesman for one of
the participating Jewish groups
— the Coordinating Board of
Jewish Organizations — spelled
out what such a study would in-
volve. He noted in addressing
the subcommission that there is
“a pattern that flows from ex-
clusionary devices used in pre-
venting various types of racial
or religious groups from pur-
chasing, leasing or renting real
property as a residence.” Such
a pattern, he pointed out, leads

matter shows why “Conscience
Corps” is perhaps the most fit-
ting title for this group — and
why the Jewish organizations
have been so interested in the
sessions, studies, surveys and de-
bates of this small group, com-
Gertainly, that pattern has af-
fected even in our own country,
as well as in other parts of the
world, the human rights of Jews,
Negroes and other minority peo-
ples.
Another item ahead for this
group is a study of measures tha
might be taken to combat “ad-
vocacy of racial or religious
hatred that constitutes incite
rnent to discrimination and vio-
lence.” No knowledgeable pei
son need be reminded that Jews
—among other peoples—would
benefit from such a survey ana
from the drafting of “measures’
to combat racial and religious
incitements. One need only think
iof Russia, with its discrimina
tions against Jewish religion anc
culture; of Arab states, with
their perpetual incitements
against Israel.
The Jewish organizations par- j
(ticipating in the debates of this |
dubcommission have consulta-
tive status. That means that the j
Jewish representatives can exer-
cise their right to be heard (al-
though they have no vote). Since j
only international organizations
can -hold such consultative status,
some of the largest, most influ-
ential Jewish organizations in
various countries have establish-
ed special groups on an inter-
country basis, which now have
representation before the sub-
commission. There is the above- j
mentioned Coordinating Board, I
consisting of B’nai B’rith, the
Board of Deputies of British
Jews and the South African
Board of Jewish Deputies. There
is the Consultative Council of
Jewish Organizations, comprised
of the American Jewish Commit-
tee, the Anglo- Jewish Congress
is represented, as are the World
Union for Progressive Judaism
and the' Agudat Israel World
Organization.

The care that skilled craftsmen put into Cadillac’s exclusive
Fleetwood body is a matter of deep satisfaction to every
family fortunate enough to own the “car of cars.” For a man,
there is the appreciation of the fine engineering and work-
manship that went into its building: the solid sound he
hears when he closes the door . . . the relaxing quiet that
surrounds him in its spacious interior. For the lady—there is
the loving touch of fine fabrics, fine tailoring, and the many
fine appointments found in no other car. Your Cadillac
dealer can show you how this elegance can enrich your life.
