The prosaic task of fund-raising for Palestine fulfilled an essential pol'al function. By exploiting deep-seated predispositions toward psychol'al insecurity as well as philanthropic generosity, & by employing diverse org'al techniques, Zionists (Z's) successfully energized a latent Jewish public. Measured by monetary income Zionism was the most successful pol'al interest group in US history. The bridge of philanthropy provided the sole ground on which a community beset by institutional rivalries, competing soc & religious ideologies & mutually hostile SE groups could meet for a measure of common action. But, contrary to hyp'ed expectations, ideological dilution did not accompany the Z movement's accommodation with philanthropy. Instead, militancy of pol'al programs attended spiralling memberships & monetary collections. Distinctions between philanthropic humanitarianism & pol'al Zionism, in effect, came to lose their practical signif. Regardless of ideological diff', Z's & non-Z's joined hands pragmatically in impressive fund-raising instrumentalities to make possible the same goal-a Jewish State in Palestine. There were other signif results of the Zionist-philanthropist coalition for the development of Amer Zionism & the Amer Jewish community. IPSA.

A study of 365 M members of the Eugene, Oregon LF to test the hypothesis that religious involvement is 'directly related to preference for the Republican Party among fundamentalists & inversely related to Republican preference among liberals, regardless of econ class. Moreover, when religious involved persons of the same econ class are compared, fundamentalists should be more inclined to be Republicans than liberals.' The various sects of `Ascetic Protestantism' - denominations within the Calvinist, Pietist, & Revivalist traditions - were classified as fundamentalist or liberal, & church attendance was used as the major index of religious involvement. Contrary to the usual relationship between SS & pol'al preference, 'the denominations which have come under liberal influence are relatively middle Uc in the composition of their membership, whereas the denominations where fundamentalism holds sway are relatively We in composition.' This may be accounted for by the fact that the higher class congregations have chosen ministers who received their training from the more influential & prestigeful seminaries, & these 'have participated in the trend toward liberal humanitarianism that has been going on in intellectual circles for many yrs.' Results confirmed the hyp's, & indicated that 'because of the relationship of the factions of Ascetic Protestantism to the class system, it is likely that religious influences operate far more frequently to reduce or narrow class-cased pol'al diff's than to accentuate them.'
