The Suburban Community
Only Getting at Root Causes
Will Halt Actions of Bigots
By the Oak-Woodser
In the wake of what has been
called the first flagrantly anti-
Semitic outburst in suburban
Oak Park, calm again has been
restored to the community.
This is due in no small meas-
ure to the Oak Park public
safety officers and their chief-,
Glenford S. Leonard, -who have
not been able to find the guilty
p a r t i e s, but at least have
stepped in to halt any further
actions such as last week's mar-
ring of windows and doors at
the Key School. _
The -incident shocked 0 a k
Parkers, especially parents of
children who .attend the reli-
gious school of Cong. Bnai Da-
vid, which uses the facilities of
the Key School on Sunday morn-
ing. -
Police officials themselves
viewed the _incident with
alarm because events such
• as this had never occurred
before in Oak Park, where
only friendly relations had
existed between all segments
of the community.
Will there be a recurrence?
In truth, we imagine there
will, from time to time, be evi-
dences of anti-Jewish feeling.
Eban Warns of Arab
Antagonism to West
LONDON, (JTA) — Abba
Eban, Israel Ambassador to the
United States, speaking here at
the third annual Herbert Sam-
uel Lectures, named for Lord
Samuel. first High Commission-
er of Palestine, warned that
Arab antagonism to the West
is the primary factor in the
unrest in • the Middle East.
A different picture was
painted by Aneurin Bevan, in
the first foreign affairs debate
since Parliament reconvened.
He said that peace in the Mid-
dle East is dependent on eco-
nomic development, and the
feud between the Arabs and Is-
rael would disappear given the
possibility of economic develop-
ment.
Adding to the Parliamentary
debate, Emanuel Shinwel•, for-
mer Secretary for War, chal-
lenged the government on its
Middle East policy. He said the
arming of Iraq and Jordan by
Britain while declining to pro-
vide arms to Israel was, "to a
substantial extent, the cause of
Middle East tension in the past
few years."
We have not yet achieved Uto-
pia. And Halloween tradition-
ally offers youngsters an oppor-
tunity to scribble, in soap and
wax, the things that are on their
minds.
Only in the Oak Park vandal-
ism, police believe the work was
not done by kids, but by juve-
niles around the age group of
17-18. Encouragingly, police add
that it is certain the damage
was not done by an organized
group.
Police Chief Leonard said
that the books are not closed
on the case. They would like
to clear it up. He added, how-
ever, that it is probably an iso-
lated incident because there
was no further destruction or
even a hint of anti-Semitism on
Hallowe'en.
Leonard made the interest-
ing comment that the vanftl-
ism was not the work of
mature adults, that it was not
even adult-inspired except as
perhaps casual remarks made
in the privacy of the home
can cause youths with grow-
ing pains to flex their muscles
in warped directions.
It was the second comment
to this effect made here this
week. Earlier, Nathan Perlmut-
ter, Florida Anti-Defamation
League official, said that the
"root causes" of anti-Semitism
are still to be removed, that we
have not even made a start on
removing the root causes of all
prejudice and bigotry.
Herein lies the obvious key to
better group relations: under-
standing of one's neighbor
through the sanctuary of the
home, For only here does a
youngster get his orientation on
other people, other families,
different races and religions.
Just casual mention in the
home of an absurdity muttered
in anger can give credence to
talk picked up in the gutter of
life to which a child is exposed.
Judaism haS long placed im-
portant positive emphasis on
the role of the home. Perhaps
this is why it is so difficult to
fathom the antagonisms of
others against ourselves.
Yet, most good people of any
group are outraged at incidents
such as those in Oak Park, and
they react just as we do, only
they have to bear the cross of
shame.
