Another Warning to Merchants Against Racketeering Solicitors The American Association of English-Jewish Newspapers this week found itself compelled to issue another warning to advertisers and to community leaders against the outrageous practice of several New York newspapers and magazines— none with more than a few dozen readers in any community outside of New York—which are billing advertisers without advance notice. The new practice substitutes for the out- rageous method of clipping ads from local papers and billing advertisers for them. The Association points out that many advertisers, es- pecially non-Jews, have forwarded the bills to the local news- papers with a comment tantamount to "a plague on both your houses," refusing to advertise in any Jewish periodical because of their being dunned by irresponsible out-of-town publications. Local Better Business Bureaus and the National Better Business Bureau now are studying the malpractice with a view of charging them with abusing U. S. Postal regulations. Numerous complaints against the offenders -have been re- ceived by the Detroit and other Better BusinesS Bureaus. These Bureaus warn merchants against being high-pressured into advertising in the irresponsible. publications. They urge that great caution should be exercised by those solicited, that the dunning letters should be forwarded to the Better Busi- ness Bureaus together with the original envelopes in which the bills are received, in order to facilitate action planned against the offenders. The publishers' association has expressed concern over the fad that organs - of national organizations have become involved in the racket. The National Community Relations Advisory Council previously has dealt with this matter but now has refused to continue "policing" these organizations and magazines. Under the circumstances; the publishers assert, they will be compelled to expose the offending groups during the coming few weeks. They have expressed the hope that their restraint of the past three years, when they dealt with NCRAC, will be justified by the national organizations abandoning their practice, thus avoiding a public scandal which now appears unavoidable since the Better Business Bureaus have received numerous complaints. 34—THE JEWISH NEWS Friday, December 21, 1951 New Rochelle Shelves Using Prayer in Schools NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. — (JTA)—A resolution ordering teachers in the public schools of this city to open the day in class with a "brief, non-denomina- tional prayer," was shelved by the Board of Education after a member had questioned the constitutionality of the measure.
