etroiters' Stee Gift Will Aid Israel Housing Subtle Anti-Semitism Appears Among Members of Congress (Copyright, 1949, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) By MILTON FRIEDMAN * * * WASHINGTON — While there is more favorable than unfavor- able reaction to the establish- ment of Israel among member of Congress, some Senators and Representatives, previously thought to be liberal in outlook, are now advancing arguments at various committee meetings which run along the lines of the propaganda disseminated by the American Council for Judaism. Congressmen from Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and South Car- olina are vocal against Jews when it comes to discussions on admission of displaced persons to the United StateS7Arguments in favor of admitting more DPs are met by them with scathing denunciations of Jews. Texan Ed Gossett, whose mouth is as big as his state's open spaces, is rapidly replacing Rep. John Rankin (D.-Miss.) as the leading House rabble-rouser. Gossett's vitriolic tirades are ap- plauded by many members who can't afford to vote his way but who can, by vigorous applause, show their scorn for you know who. Not all bigots are Southern Democrats. Rep. Clare E. Hoff- man, a Michigan Republican, recently testified before a House labor subcommittee on fair employment practices leg- islation. He said: "In Michigan we have practically no dis- crimination. There's no dis- crimination against the Jews in this country. They are on top. Why, they have the world by the tail!" An agreement has evolved in the House and Senate press gal- leries which causes the suppres- sion of many slurs. Newspaper- men have decided not to con- vey to the public such express- ions as "lousy kikes" and "dirty niggers" except in important stories. It is felt that too many readers would agree with bigoted attacks on minorities, therefore publication would only tpread. hate. Rep. Eugene E. Cox (D.-Ga.), who dislikes "foreign accents" and who has never expressed love for the Jews, hit a new low when he hit Adolph J. Sabbath, an 83-year-old Democrat from Illinois. Cox,. who is 69, ran out of words and resorted to physi- cal attack on the aged Jewish- chairman of the House Rules Committee. Sabath showed his Jewish Groups Register Favor for School Aid NEW YORK, (JTA) — Major national Jewish organizations a n d 27 Jewish Community Councils throughout the coun- try urged federal aid to public education, but expressed opposi- tion to the use of federal funds for support of schools under re- ligious control. A letter to this effect was addressed to the Congressional Education Com- mittee by the National Corn- in.unity Relations Advisory Council, the coordinating body of the Jewish groups. Israeli blood and slugged Cox back. The Senate respectably frowns on anti-Semitic expressions, striving to remain more fash- ionable than the House. Yet it is the Senate which wrote the anti-Jewish provisions in the DP Act of 1948 and which has per- mitted Sen. Pat McCarran (D.- Nev.) to bottle up a more liberal bill to amend the act. A delegation from New York, representing the American Jew- ish Congress, called on Sen. Torn Connally (D.-Tex.) to protest the failure of the denazification program. The chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee looked up from his desk. "We gave you Israel," he said curtly, "now what do you want?"

Friday, August 12, 1949 — New York City has become a better, healthier community for all its many peoples since they have become increasingly aware of the need to foster healthy group relations among Ameri- cans of every race and creed and are working actively to chal- lenge prejudice wherever they meet it, Col. Harold Riegelman, chairman of the New York chap- ter of the American Jewish Committee, declared in his an- nual report. - "The anti-Semitic -rabbi e- rouser is gone from the streets of New York," said Col. Riegel- man. "More and in o r e New Yorkers—previously barred from employment because of race, color or creed—are finding jobs in banks, utility companies and insurance firms. 'Gentlemen's Agreements' — which prevent certain of our citizens from liv- ing where they choose—can no longer be enforced in the courts." French Collaborator Sentenced PARIS (JTA)—Lucien Grand, known as the "one-armed tor- turer of Drancy," the chief Nazi concentration camp for French Jews during the war, was sentenced to 20 years at hard labor for crimes against the Jews. .

Council, Bnai Brith Fight Prejudice in Michigan Resorts The office of the Attorney- General of the State of Mich- igan was visited by the repre- sentatives of the Jewish Com- munity Council of Detroit and of the Michigan State Advisory Council of the Anti-Defamation League, with a demand to take measures to prevent anti-Jewish discrimination in 'several Mich-' igan up-state resorts.
