Page Four DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE \Detroit Jewish Chronicle Friday, October 22, 1948 (Tishri 19, 5709) Vote 'NO' on No. 6 We earnestly urge a "NO" vote on pro- posal number 6 in the Nov. 2 elections. The proposal would give public •indorse- Inept to the vicious Callahan Act, legis- lation which is a direct threat to the lib- erties of the American people. The Callahan Act would require all per- sons and organizations sympathetic to for- eign countries to register with the state attorney general. It has been charged that any foreign relief group, fraternal organi- zation, foreign language society, religious body or cultural group with ties. to a foreign country would be forced to register as "foreign agents". Under this heading would come such na- tional organizations as OJT, the Zionist Organization of America, Iladassah, the Ilistadrut and even local landsmanshaften groups. - .Whatever merits the bill might have as an alleged weapon against subversive forces in the state would be offset by the stigma attached to democratic American groups with links to foreign lands. To bar this unconstitutional, fascistic- measure, vote "NO" on proposal number 6. Time Should He Ashamed '!Who's in charge here"?

The Tint story was not only ignorant; it was vicious. It was written that way deliberately at a time when the UN is con- sidering whether Israel is strong enough to rule itself and•to fulfill its international commitments. It was meant to damage the Jewish cause. Time should be ashamed of itself. No Quotas at Brandeis U. There will be no restrictions or quotas at Brandeis University, first Jewish spon- sored, non-sectarian institution of higher learning in America. And that is significant because there aren't very many colleges which do not have some kind of restrictions because of color, race or creed. Even state and municipally owned universities have tacit reservations on the number of Jewish or Negro or Catholic students who can enter and, once in, can be graduated. There is nothing overt there that one can point to, but many an administration and faculty have an unspoken understand- ing that just so .many of this or that group shall be matriculated and finally graduated and no more. * * World 14.1S•rvirdes, at/144neg Letters to the Editor REBUKES JSG Dear Editor: In the light of your fine edi- torial of Sept. 17 and the re- sponse by letter-to-the-editor of Mr. Gold ,on Oct. 8, it was sur- prising that the Jewish Voca- tional Service should have been excluded from the discussion and criticism of Jewish agen- cies in this community held by the Junior Service Group on Oct. 10.
