AJC U rges 18 Major Changes In

NEW YORK - The American * ■* »'
NEW YORK - The American
Jewish Congress called Wed
nesday for 18 major changes
In the federal Economic Oppor
tunity Act and New York City’s
antipoverty program, charging
that the Jewish poor were in
effect excluded from benefits
under the law.
Richard Ravitch, chairman of
the Congress’ Commission on
Urban Affairs, said that most
antipoverty money was spent in
designated poverty areas and
intended for young people.
"But most Jewish poor are
older persons, and few of them
live in poverty areas,’’ he stat
ed, adding: "As a result, needy
Jews do not qualify for bene
fits to which they would other
wise be entitled.
"This situation is inherently
unjust. It must not continue,’’
Mr. Ravitch spoke at a news
conference in Stephen W'ise
Congress House, 15 East 84th
Street, at which he made pub
lic a 45-page analysis, prepar
ed by the Congress, of federal
antipoverty legislation and its
implementation in New York.
"Poverty must he treated on

The American Jewish Con

commendations in the report
"in no way represent an at

"On the contrary, ' he assert
ed, "only if poverty is treat

those in need share equitably

receive the measure of support
it must have to succeed."
The study cited statistics in

of less than $3,000. Os these,
about one-third were believed
to live in designed poverty

The 91st session of the Cen

AME Zion Church, in its clos

voted unanimously that the de

Conference, slated for Mobile,

be returned for another four
years.
He has served the Central
North Carolina for the past
two quadrenniurps and even
though there is some conjec

the progress that has been a

it was the hope that the Gen

back for another four years.
The biggest shake-up in pas

ed when the bishop read the
appointments. The Rev. L.P.
Perry was transferred from
Grace Chapel Church to Mount
Olive, in Durham. The Rev.
Perry has pastored in Raleigh

Up to now, the Maine Demo

not done enough to assure the
adequate housing of countless
Americans. He criticized
Washington for its nai row ap
proach to the present housing
crisis,
“The fault is in our national
government, which tends to
treat the housing process as
simply the production of more
dwelling units.
“Too often, Washington seems
to think of those units as little
more than budgetary items. Too
often, Washington seems to for
get that whai is really at stake
is the way p-t-nple live. And
so we must build, not to meet
a quota, but to house families.”
The Senator said that the pro
