An official state proclamation hailing the opening of the American Jewish Tercentenary celebration next Sunday as an opportunity for Connecticut’s renewal of "our dedication to the tradition of harmony among peoples of all faiths," was issued here today by Gov. John D. Lodge.
Connecticut, said the Governor, is proud of its part in "championing the freedom of religion, the regard for civil rights, and the humanitarian doctrines which have marked our nation as a symbol of liberty."
