A
Man's Vision
By GEORGE MARTIN
Sigmund Livingston was a
visionary man, but he never
dreamed what would become of
the unique organization he
founded 40 years ago.
Livingston, who died in 1945,
was a young attorney from
Bloomington, Ill., when he or-
ganized the Anti - Defamation
League of Bnai Brith. It in-
cluded himself as national
chairman, a handful of volun-
teers, a part - time employee
who worked out of Livingston's
law office and postage money.
Today, the League has a New
York headquarters and 28 re-
gional offices in t h e United
States; it is governed by local
and national boards of directors
that involve the participation
of 2,Opt) Jewish community lead-
ers; it is staffed by 200 profes-
sional specialists and clerical
workers, has a volunteer force
of 10,000 persons organized in
more than 1,000 ADL commit-
tees and it spends $2,000,000 a
year on a. program that em-
braces every facet of mass edu-
cation for developing better in-
tergroup relations.
President Eisenhower, to-
gether with senators and gover-
nors, Cabinet officers and mem-
bers of the Supreme Court will
participate in the 40th anniver-
sary celebration of the organ-
ization that Livingston founded
because of a bad afternoon he
spent 45 years ago in a Chicago
vaudeville theater.
The tremendous growth of the -
Anti-Defamation League in 40
crowded years is paralleled by
the expanding state of democ-
racy in the United States.
The Anti-Defamation League
operated from the first on the
theory that prejudice was usu-
ally rooted in ignorance, not
malice.
The League's greatest test
came in the 1930s when Nazism,
rampant in Germany, goaded
American fascists a n d anti-
Semites to full fury. It provided
them with slogans, money, wea-
pons, in the attempt to divide
and weaken the United States.
Even in so large a center of
Jewish life as New York City,
Jews were often attacked by
street-corner mobs. In this per-
iod of the League's greatest
growth and activity, the facts
about the professional haters
were brought to public atten-
tion. Countless Americans were
saved from following the --Nazi
line by prompt exposure of Nazi
deeds and goals of world con-
quest. By the time of Pearl
Harbor, the League was able to
turn over exhaustive documen-
tation to the government of the
web operated by the Nazis cal-
culated to overthrow the Ameri-
can system.
Since the war, the League's
work has changed in character
but not in purpose; building a
united, more democratic land.
It no longer has to treat merely
the symptoms of p r e j u d i c e.
These still exist; a race riot in
Chicago, bombings in Florida,
gang warfare between teenagers
of different faiths in Boston are
some examples. But the League,
with its vast educational pro-
gram, can devote its time to
more basic work. It can—and
does—simultaneously help in a
campaign for better schools in
Denver, educate in support of a
civil rights ordinance in Port-
land, Oregon; start a program
for intercultural education in
New York.
