Law and Education Conceded Top
Priority in Fighting Discrimination
ATLANTIC CITY, (JTA) —Law
and educational activities are
both necessary in the promo-
tion of equality of rights and op-
portunities for all, regardless, of
race, religon, national origin or
ancestry, it was established at a
conference of 75 social scientists,
lawyers and Jewish community
leaders held here under the
auspices of the National Com-
munity Relations Advisory
Council.
Irving Kane, NCRAC leader,
said, "At one time, recourse to
law was contrasted with educa-
tion as an instrument of social
change. It is now generally rec-
ognized that they are not only
compatible, but actually are
complementary approaches."
Bernard H. Trager, NCRAC
chairman, said that the purpose
of the conference was to develop
recommendations that would
stand as guides to the national
and local Jewish community re- j
lations agencies and coordinate'
the work of the agencies. Will
Maslow, national director of the
Commission on Law and Social
Action of the American Jewish ;
Congress, enumerated as some
"fruits of the legal technique:"
1. Fair employment practice
laws in twelve states and more
than 30 cities. 2. Fair - education-
al practice laws in three states.
3. Enforcement of many dead-
letter civil rights laws- by ad-
against discrimination. 4. Pro-
hibition of discrimination in
public or quasi-public housing
projects in many states. 5. Out-
lawing of segregated public edu-
cation by the Supreme Court.
6. Prohibition of legal enforce-
ment of restrictive real estate
covenants. 7. Protection of rights
of free speech, publication and
assembly. -
Both legislative campaigns
and ligations may yeild indirect,
as well as direct gains, Mr. Mas-
low declared, in the form of
greater public understanding
and changed attitudes. "Litiga-
tion," he said, "can also be an
educational device. The effort
to persuade the Federal Com-
munications Commission to re-
voke the radio licences of
George A. Richards, who in-
structed his news commentators
to slant radio broadcasts against
Jews, did not succeed, but the
ensuing publicity sensitized the
entire broadcasting industry to
its obligations and the dangers !
in nnot fulfilling them."
Dr. Isidor Chein, professor of
psychology at New York Uni- ,
versity, gave "A Social Scien-
tists View of the Use of Law and
Legislation for the Advance-
ment of Community Relations
Objectives." Dr. Chein empha-
sized the impact of law on the
psychology of the individual. He
pointed out that laws on civil
rights reflect ideals that are
held by all Americans, and that
even bigots may be influenced
by them to change their atti-
tudes. He urged that more re-
search be done on the effect of ;
law and legal actions on the
actual status of minority groups
and on changes in attitudes.

UN Opens TB Center
In Jaffa, Israel
GENEVA, (JTA)—The World,
Health Organization, United Na-
tions affiliate, opened a new
tuberculosis center in Jaffa.
Heading the project, designed
to aid Israel's fight against the
dread disease through treatment
and training of medical person-
nel, will be Dr. H. Papanikilaou,
Greek medical consultant to
WHO, and Miss M. Moltke, for- '
mer director of the Copenhagen
Central Dispensary.
They will be aided by a staff
of 15 doctors, 15 nurses.and an-
other 15 social workers and lab-
oratory technicians. Sanatorium
facilities will be available for
medical treatment, and a train-
ing program for local health
personnel will be instituted.
A WHO report on Israel states
that the Jewish State has a low
TB death rate-10.5 per 100,000
—with good sanatoria and effec-
tive curative measures. The re- I
port adds that despite the low
death rate "the actual occur-
rence" of the disease is "quite
high," and the country does not
have adequate facilities for pre-
ventative measures.

Find 250,000,000 Year-Old
Reptile Fossil in Israel
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
petrified head of a reptile be-
lieved to be some 250,000,000
years old has been found in
Wadi Ramon, in the Central
Negev, the Israel Geological In-
stitute revealed here. The rep-
tile is believed to have been some
30 inches long and 30 inches
wide,
The Institute announcement
said that this is one of the oldest
animal remains ever found in
the world and the first of its
kind, which belongs in the genus
"psephosaurus." Since it is the
first of its species found, the In-
stitute will name it "psephosaur-
us negevensis" in honor of the
site where it was unearthed. The
specimen was found in stone
strata of the Triassic period,
which is the label given to a
period extending back a quarter
of billion years.
The rib of a reptile was found
over a year ago and was sent to
Sweden's Royal Geological In-
stitute for restoration and was
recently returned to Israel. The
latest find was made by a team
directed by Dr. F. Brotzen, a
Swedish geologist assigned to
Israel by the United Nations
Technical Assistance Adminis-
tration and Prof. E. Haas of the
Hebrew University.
