BENYAS Agency 1238 Book Building cAdillac 0640 • TYler 6-4674 • 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."
