DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE
Haltimore Branded
as Hotbed of Bigotry
(Continued from Page 3)
naturally got mad. They started
to insult Jews.
We were told that Negroes were
overheard voicing the Opinion,
in Jewish stores, that Hitler had-
n't finished his job, and that
white agents provocateurs en-
couraged these vituperations.

ANTI-SEMITIC HOTSPOT
SO YOU HAVE a rather unique
situation in Baltimore. Although
the whites are overwhelmingly
anti-Negro, Negro resentment is
directed against the Jews pri-
marily.
In other words, the white anti-
Semitic groups of Baltimore—
and, by the way, Baltimore is one
of the anti-Semitic hotspots in the
country—use the Negroes as car-
riers of their anti-Jewish hate.
It would seem to this observer
that the reactionary elements in
Baltimore have determined to
"get the Jews through the Ne-
groes" and after that is done to
settle their accounts with the
Negroes.
Under these circumstances it
would seem that the Jewish com-
munity should attempt to estab-
lish a united front with the Ne-
groes . . . Two minorities facing
the same dangers, even if not
simultaneously.
But nothing of the kind is hap-
pening. Jewish defense agencies
are doing nothing to educate the
Jews and Negroes in Baltimor,e.
The Jews feel they are better off
than the Negroes, and therefore
why add to their headaches by
shouldering Negro troubles?
On the 'other hand, Negroes be-
lieve that they can gain ground
by spear-heading the anti-Semitic
drive in Baltimore.

TOOL OF HOODLUMS
THAT IS the situation. And
now to return to the desecration
of the Synagogue, which, inci-
dentally, is located in the Negro
section.
The 13-year-old boy, who was
committed to the Cheltenham
School for Boys (a reformatory
institution) for four years, is said
to have confessed that he and an

of juvenile delinquency, and
many to whom we have spoken
think that he confessed out of
fear the police might punish him
even mire severely for other de-
linquent acts. •
We are not prepared at this
time to say whether the youngster
is innocent. . . . We are still in-
vestigating. . . . But one thing
we 'are prepared to affirm: He
was the tool of anti-Semitic
hoodlums, white or colored, who
are carrying on a systematic cam-
paign to intimidate the Jewish
community.
The Jews of Baltimore are
slandered by organized anti-Se-
mitism as having a financial
strangle-hold on the city and, at
the same time, as controlling all
communistic activities.

individuals, have been sent this year to destitute Jewish
mothers in Europe. Detroit is attempting to raise 300,000
pounds of relief items as part of the national campaign for
6,000,000 pounds.
GROUPS MUST UNITE
WHAT CAN BE DONE? First
of all, the ADL should tackle the
individual Jews who practice an-
ti-Negro discrimination.... They
can be made to see the light, we
believe.
Then a serious effort should
be made io bring Jews and Ne-
groes together. . . . They must
face fascism together, or both
will be its victims.
In the final analysis both Jews
and Negroes are at the present
time being used to destroy each
other. . . . They must be edu-
cated, taught the true facts and
shaped into an invincible Om-
part of democracy.
It must be done—it can be
done if both minority groups are
shown the real enemy, reaction-
aries and fascists, and taught how
to fight them.
That, Mr. Miller, is the story
of Baltimore. . . . You and your
friends may shout that there was
nb anti-Semitism in the desecra-
tion of Ohr Knesseth Israel Syna-
gogue and that the outrage was
just "a Halloween prank." But
we maintain that Baltimore is the
most explogive of anti-Semitic
spots on the North American
map.

Loving Care in Foster Homes
Sought for Youngsters Here
"A mother is likened unto a
mountain spring that nourishes
the tree at its root, but one who
mothers another's child is liken-
ed unto a water that rises into
a cloud and goes a long distance
to nourish a lone tree in the
desert."
With this Talmudic quotation
as its theme and insiUration,
American Jewry has maintained
foster home programs for more
than 1,25 years. Detroit's respon-
sibility toward its homeless boys
and girls is in the hands of the
child care department of the
Jewish Social Service Bureau, a
member agency of the Jewish
Welfare Federation and a Red
Feather service of the Commun-
ity Chest.
Since the war, a number of
refugee children who survived
near starvation and the difficul-
t /Nes of immigration and concen-
ation camps, have come alone
`lo Detroit. Neither these boys
and girls, nor the native De-
troiters, are available for adop-
tion, but they need foster homes
for months or years, in accord-
ance with their individual fam-
ily situation. They, need the love
and devotion which their own
parents, because of some misfor-
tune for the time being cannot
give them.
At the present time, the Jew-
ish Social Service Bureau, is
urgently seeking foster parents—
people from every walk of life
whose principal qualification is
that They like children and are

willing to open their homes to
some boy or girl who needs
them.
Through its staff members,
the Jewish Social Service Bu-
reau will help to plan for the
children's needs. In order that
the care of these children shall
not mean deprivation for the
foster parents, the JSSB provides
a board, room and clothing al-
lowance to cover their physical
necessities, and also makes pro-
vision for medical care.

becoming foster parents are ask-
