....One Saturday morning recently, tuned my radio in on a program called
"House of Make Beleive" and heard someone announcing that little Linda
Solof, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Solof, would now play a piano solo.
She did...And very good she was too!... Lots of luck to Linda!....
-1949-
September 1949—"Congress Chapter
Inaugurated Here," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: A new
American Jewish Congress chapter is being formed in San Diego. Members of the
community interested in the work of the Congress met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
A. Louis Solof, Thursday, August 25. Rabbi Leonard A. Greenberg of Los Angeles,
Pacific Coast field representative of the A.J.C., led discussion on A.J.C.
claims and philosophy. Rabbi Greenberg introduced Mel Springer, publisher of the
Valley Jewish News, North Hollywood, chairman of the Southern California
administrative committee, as guest speaker, who told of the forming of Congress
33 years ago by Stephen S. Wise and Louis Lipsky, and of its steady progress to
the present day. "For the past eight years A.J.C. has taken a more
active and militant stand on discrimination," Spring said, "leading
the way for other American groups. Through its Law and Social Order program, the
Congress has attacked anti-Semitism from a constructive angle, fighting this
scourge through the courts when necessary. Assuming that discrimination is in
reality an attack on democracy, its legal department is ready to champion
minority groups of all colors and creeds banding together for protection against
bigotry at all times." Springer told the group of the exceptional
educational program. Its Office of Jewish Information, which publishes
"Jewish Affairs," a bimonthly; the "Congress Weekly,"
outstanding Jewish publication, edited by J.L. Teller, formerly editor of the
Independent Jewish Press Service. A.J.C. worked untiringly for the realization
of the State of Israel and is now concentrating on the denazification program in
Germany, which is taking an alarming turn. During the past few years many
chapters have been formed throughout the nation. In California, Los Angeles
leads with thirty-five active chapters, San Francisco and San Jose have recently
joined the region, which is headed by Judge Ben Rosenthal and Rabbi Max Nussbaum
of Los Angeles. Meeting at the Solof home were: Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
Solomon, Mr. and Mr.s Louis Pollack, Mr. and Mis. Milton Roberts, Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Schwartz; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wosk; Hillel Arkin, Mrs. Eva Arkin, Raymond
Bass, Oscar Dubowsky, Henry Price, Morrie Douglas, Manny Haffner and Dr. Waltern
Ornsteain. The group set up a steering committee headed by Lou Pollack to plan a
public meeting for the immediate future.
