Protestant Editors Urged Their First Passover
To Take Active Part in
In Land of Freedom
Fighting Anti-Semitism

NEW YORK (JTA) — T h e
charge that the press of the
Protestant Church in the United
States is not sufficiently active
in helping combat anti-Semitism
in this country was made by Rev.
Dr. Carl Hermann Voss at the
annual meeting of the Associated
Church Press, an organization of
Protestant Church editors. Dr.
Voss is extension secretary of the
Church Peace Union.
"The church -,ress,' . he told the
gathering, "has not Je.tri vigilant
enough in exposing the 'enemy
within the gates'—the vicious
anti-Jewish propagandist who is
on the pro-fascist fringe of the
church and works through such
pernicious periodicals as Harvey
Springer's Western Voice, Carl
McIntire's Christian Beacon, Wil-
liam D. Herstrom's Bible News
Flashes, Gerald B. Winrod's De-
fender, Bob Shuler's Methodizt
Challenge, and Gerald L. K.
Smith's two publications, The
Cross and Flag and The Letter.
"We think this infantile fringe
is numerically insignifcant, but
we forget that they, whether on
editorial pages or in the pulpit,
are an extremely dangerous in-
fluence on American life, espe-
cially because they reflect the
prejudices and perversions of the
Protestant middle class mind."
Dr. Voss also pointed out that
the church press "has done an
injustice to Zionist aspirations"
by not presenting accurate facts
about the Zionist cause and its
case.

East Side's Sephardim
Hosts to Turkish' Sailors

Three-hundred newly arrived
refugees will raise their voices
in celebration of their first Pass-
over in the U.S.A. at the Recep-
tion Shelter of United Service for

New Americans, their final way
station en route to permanent
hOmes throughout the country.
Among them will be Rabbi Isa-
dore Braun and the happy chil-
dren shown with him as they re-
hearse ancient songs in prepara
tion for the observance of the
'oldest festival of freedom for the
first time in the land of freedom.
These newcomers are a few of
the 25,000 Jewish survivors of
Nazi persecution whose immi-
gration, resettlement, and ad-
justment to American life are
being aided in 1948 by the
United Service program, financed
through the $250,000,000 campaign
of the United Jewish Appeal for
1948, a n d Detroit's $6.200,000
Allied Jewish Campaign.

NEW YORK (JPS) • New York
City's little community of Sep-
hardic Jews, whose ancestors
fled Spain during the Inquisition
and settled in Constantinople and
other Levantine cities, now play
host to lonely Turkish merchant
seamen who come to New York
to take over American built ships
sold to the Turkish government.
The community, some 40,000
scattered over three boroughs,
speak Turkish, Greek and Arabic,
in addition to English and their
own tongue, Ladino, a dialect of
15th century Spanish, which they
write in Hebrew alphabet. In
their coffee shops on the lower
East. Side, parts of Brooklyn and
the Bronx, Turkish sailors come"
for their native coffee, Greek
salads and a special kosher
shish-kabab. • Some of them say
they have met old friends, Jew-
ish, Greek and otherwise, whom
they have not seen since the
population transfers which fol-
lowed the First World War.

NEW YORK—Committees have
been set up in every major city
in the United States to handle
the reception of
as many dis-
placed persons
as will be per-
mitted entry

"legislation, Sam-
uel A. Telsey,

S. A. Telsey grant Aid So-
ciety (H I A S),
reported on his return from a
tour of the United States and
Central America where he con-
sulted with community leaders
on migration problems.
Mr. Telsey last week was re-
elected HIAS.president.
