Anti-Prejudice Propaganda
Fails to Convert a Bigot
Trying to point out to a bigot
that he is prejudiced is like
beating your head against the
wall.

At any rate, this is the con-
clusion of two workers in the
American Jewish Committee's
scientific research department,
Ben Gallob of the National
Jewish Post reveals.
By the use of cartoons, Eunice
Cooper and Marie Jahoda at-
tempted to find out what hap-
pens when prejudiced persons
are exposed to tolerance ma-
terial
WON'T FACE FACTS
They discovered that "such
persons prefer not to face the
implications of ideas opposed to
their own and thus, they are
not forced either to defend their
biases or admit they are wrong."
Furthermore, the researchers
point out, "even among persons
on the same educational level,
those who are prejudiced are
more apt to misunderstand a
message than are the unpreju-
diced."
The psychologists believe that
the mechanism by which such
persons evade the point is prob-
ably unconscious and add that
it is impossible to learn to what

IRONY OF TRUCE
The head of the American
delegation at the United Nations
was advocating a "stand-still"
truce with the Arab invaders
while Dr. Yassky and his col-
leagues were dying on the Sco-
pus Road in Jerusalem.
The Arabs had given lip serv-
ice to the Geneva convention
which forbids attacks on medi-
cal personnel, institutions and
vehicles, while Moslem govern-
ments outside of Palestine re-
cruited and dispatched Arab
brigands to the Holy Land who
violated every provision of the
convention.
IIERO OF SCIENCE
If there was one thing that
Dr. Yassky's life symbolized it
was the heroic effort of men of
science to cut through the gor-
dion knot of political entangle-
ments and place the gift of
medical knowledge in the hands
of a free Jewish people. For he
was no cloistered academician.
He took to the field many
times during his years of serv-
ice to the Yishuv, not only in
Palestine whose people he knew
intimately through long journey-
ings on foot or in a donkey
saddle, but also in European
countries and the United States
where he studied the most pro-
gressive methods of public
health administration and adapt-
ed them to conditions in the
Holy Land and the needs of its
people.
