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.
