Editor, The Jewish News:
I was rather disturbed by your
latest front-page article on a
report of the House Committee
on Un-American .tiffairs which
recommended prosecution of
neo-fascist and anti - Semitic
groups under the Smith Act and
investigation into their activi-
ties.
While I„ as a Jew and a Demo-
crat, strongly disapprove of
these groups myself, I believe
that protecting freedom of
thought and expression for all,
including the crackpots on the
right, is, by far, more important
at the present time in this
country than combatting anti-
Semitism and fascism. -
Moreover, the long-run inter-
ests of the Jewish community in
the U. S. are inextricably bound

The Jewish Community Cowl-
cil announces the acquisition of
two film strips, both in color and
of particular significance as Ter-
centenary program aids, which
are now available to organiza-
tions for free loan from the
Council's audio-visual library.
"Judah Touro: Friend of Man"
is a biographical sketch of the
Jewish philanthropist of Rhode
Island and Louisiana who *died
in 1854. It highlights the extra-
ordinary quality of his many hu-
manitarian and public - spirited
acts of charity.
"Through the Years: Jewish
Women in American History,"
covers a little-known area in
American Jewish history—the
role of Jewish women in con-.
tributing to many phases of our
American heritage.
Interested organizations may
secure these and other film-
strips, films and recordings by
phoning Miss Edith Heavenrich
at the Council office, WO. 2-6716
A copy of the Co4ncil's audio-
visual catalog is also available
