Friday, May 10, 1957 Philadelphia Commission Urges Ban on Discrimination in U. S. Colleges PHILADELPHIA, (JTA) — Legislation to prevent discrim- ination in colleges and profes- sional schools because of race, religion or national origin, was urged by the Philadelphia Fel- lowship Commission, which represents the united effort of the community to promote equal rights and equal oppor- tunities for all people. At a hearing before the Phil- adelphia Committee on Higher Educational Opportunities, held at City Hall, David L. Ullman, local attorney who is vice pres- ident of the Fellowship Com- mission, presented for the first time in public a series of docu- mented studies and surveys. A -25-year study of admission practices in 14 professional schools in the Philadelphia area showed that with few excep- tions, the professional schools studies admitted an average of less than one percent of Negroes in any of their classes; eight out of 14 schools studies admit- ted an average of less than five percent of students of Italian extraction, only four admitting more than 10 percent (Hahne- mann Medical — 12.5 percent; College of Osteopathy — 11 percent; Temple Law — 10.5 percent; Temple Dental — 10 percent. In the case of Jewish stu- dents, an average of less than 15 percent was shown from classes of 1936 through 1960 at four -professional schools — Penn Medical (13.7 per- cent), Jefferson Medical (12.2 percent), University of Penn- sylvania School of Veterin- ary Medicine (11.8 percent) and Temple Medical (10.7 percent). A five-year study of the ex- periences of pre-medical stu- dents from the University of Pennsylvania and Temple • Uni- versity also showed a definite pattern of discrimination, de- clared Mr. Ullman. The study showed that every single Pro- testant student with an "A" and "B" average was accepted , .by some medical school. Irre- vocable evidence of discrimina- tion was revealed in the experi- ences of students on the "B" level where two-thirds of the Protestant students were accep- ted by some medical school. Israelis Win Grid Game from French Army Team (Direct JTA. Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) TEL AVIV—A picked foot- ball team from the Israeli army scored a 3-1 victory Monday over a French army team in an Independence Day game before 41,000 spectators who included Prime Minister' David Ben- Gurion. Many of the spectators, in a characteristic display of pro- French sympathy, shouted en- couragement to the French players. On the same scholastic level, only one-third of the Jewish students and only one-fourth of the Catholic students were ac- cepted by some medical school. Only one-third of the Jew- ish students were accepted by some medical school . Links Modern Israelis to U.S. Minute Men — CARD PARTIES LUNCHEONS - BUY DELICIOUS HAMILTON ... CHICKEN PIES .

NEW YORK — Nearly one out of four resort hotels in the U.S. practices religious discrimi- nation in admission of guests, according to a national survey, the first of its kind, made by the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith. Bernard Nath, Chicago at- torney and chairman of the League's national executive committee announced that the survey encompassed 3,014 hotels in this country, Canada, Mexico,. Hawaii, Alaska and the Carib- bean. He said the survey re- vealed that enforcement of state laws against discrimination in public accommodations is the key to eliminating hotel bias and that discrimination in the U.S. is less than in Canada, but greater than in Mexico or Ha- waii. In the Midwest, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where there has been wide- spread discrimination against Jewish vacationers for years, continue to show a discrimina- tion rate above the national av- erage. The rates for these three states were Michigan, 48.7 per- Brig. Gen. CHAIN!

He paid homage at the statue of the Minute Men of 1776, who, like the pioneers of Is- rael, left their farms to fight for liberty. Gen. Laskov said, "The men who fought for America's freedom at Concord Bridge certainly would have understood and endorsed the ideals for which Israel's peo- ple have made such great sacrifices." Beigin Appeals to U.S. Against Nasser NEW YORK, (JTA)—Mena- chem Beigin, chairman of the right-wing Herut party in Is- rael, told a ninth Israel an- niversary celebration meeting here that he hoped "the free world and especially the United States" would "reconsider their attitude" toward President Nas- ser of Egypt "who threw open the door in the Middle East and the gateway to Africa to Com- munist penetration and exten- sion." - He told the rally, sponsored by the United Zionists-Revision- ists of America, that "Gaza was and is an integral part of our native country," adding that "it was occupied. as a result of aggression by Egypt in 1948 and turned into a base of per- manent attack against Israel." Beigin returned to the U.S. to resume a tour started earlier this year. cent; Minnesota, 20 .per cent; and Wisconsin, 29 per cent. Of a group of 1,065 hotels tested by responses to prospec- tive guests and promotional lit- erature, 237, or 22.7 per cent clearly showed discrimination against Jews. The remaining 828 were classed as non-dis- criminatory, but 11 per cent of the group have past records of discrimination. The core of the problem, Nath declared, lies in the many hotels which declined to clarify their policies towards Jewish guests; 525 such resorts have been sub- jects of complaints. It leads us to believe that the survey un- derestimates the true situation, he said. NEW YORK HOTEL 146 CASS AVE., MT.
