Tuesday Musicale
Program on Feb. 6
NEW YORK (WNS) — There
has been an increase in all forms
of racila tension in the United
States, it was reported here by
Dr. John Slawson, executive vice
president of the American Jew-
ish Committee, at the three-day
plenary meeting of the National
Community Relations Advisory
Council. .
Ascribing this increase to the
economic and social dislocations
of a wartime eonomy, Dr. Slaw-
son said that there has been an
increase in anti-Negroism ane!
anti-Catholicism as well as anti-
Semitism. Fear of more strin-
gent governmen prosecution dur-
ing wartime has, however, re-
sulted in a decrease in the num-
ber of active anti-Semitic organi-
zations and professional anti-
Semites. He warned that the
insecurity and frustrations of
large masses of people that may
develop in the postwar period is
unquestionably a threat to be
guarded against.
Further progress in achieving
coordination of activities and
•hilintori planning by the national
Jewish defense agencies and the
18 local community relations
groups was insured by a program
of organization adopted unani-
mously by the National Commun-
ity Relations Advisory Council
at the three-day gathering. The
program was urged by David
Sher, NCRAC chairman, who was
re-elected with the entire group
of officers who have guided the
organization since its inception
a year ago.
Isaiah Minkoff, executive di-
rector of the NCRAC, will be-
come vice chairman of the or-
ganization and serve as a pro-
fessional assistant to Mr. Sher.
An executive director will be en-
gaged to administer the new pro-
gram. The budget of the NCRAC
will be materially increased to
allow for adequate staffing of the
organization.
The meeting adopted a reso-
lution deploring the injection in-
to the last presidential campaign
of charges and counter-charges
implicit with anti-Semitism; and
applauding the conduct of the
leaders of both major political
parties in repudiating this issue.
The NCRAC also decided to
establish a permanent committee
"to conduct a study and evalua-
tion of non-sectarian agencies
dealing with group tensions, the
resulting reports to be regularly
made available to community
groups and national agencies."
It also decided "to consult with
the Synagogue Council of Amer-
ica with a view to exploring the
entire problem of religious edu-
cation in the public schools and
arriving at a common policy."
