Jews Seen by Salisbury as Most Hated
Targets of Segregationists in South

NEW YORK (JTA) -- It is
the Jew, rather than the Negro,
who is the most hated target
of the extremist wing of the
segregationist movement" in
the South, the New York Times
reported in an on-the-spot sur-
vey of the racial issue in the
South conducted by Harrison E.
Salisbury, member of the edi-
torial staff of the newspaper:
Salisbury emphasized that this
is the opinion of a highly
competent Jewish observer who
has lived in the South most of
his life.
Reproducing anti -Jewlit
election posters of retired
Admiral John G. Crommelin,
self-styled "white man's can-
didate" for the U.S. Senate,
the Times correspondent es-
tablished that "an open and
active link between anti-
Negro racism and anti-Jewish
prejudice" is provided by
such men as Crommelin. "He
calls Jews the real enemy of
the 'White Christian Alabam-
ians' asserting that they -con-
trol the National Association
for the Advancement of Col-
ored People," Salisbury wrote.
He adds that "the Crommelin
viewpoint is deplored even by
many violent segregationists,
but it seems to have wider
acceptance than many. Ala- '
bamians will publicly admit."
Salisbury reported that after
16-year-old Jerry Hunt tossed a
fire bomb at Temple Beth Israel
in Gadsden and then wounded
two congregants three weeks
ago, a large number of crosses
were burned in nearby Calhoun
County. The Fayette County
Times commented editorially on
the cross-burning that it was
"indicative of the belief that
some people thought the
youngster was right and it
'might be considered a 'warning'
to _those who would prosecute."
The • Birmingham Jewish
community was disturbed to
read in a local newspaper
sympathetic articles about the
vandal; the Times -correspon-
dent states. "Although evi-
dence indicated the youngster
had associates, none was ap-
prehended. Last week he was
admitted to bond and re-
leased. The presiding judge
said he saw no reason to call
a special grand jury in the
case, which has been- put over
to July. There is skepticism
in some quarters that the
youngster will ever stand
trial," Salisbury writes.

72nd. Annual Parley in Philadelphia

Local chapters of four national
fraternities which bar potential
members on' grounds of race or
religion were under notice from
Dartmouth College officials
here to disaffiliate from their
national organizations or face
a campus ban.
"They have until the begin-
ning of the next school year
to make 'up their minds," said
Dr. Thaddeus Seymour, dean
of the college.
Dartmouth's Undergraduate
Council adopted a report from
its anti-discrimination commit-
tee, which has studied the bias
issue for six years, • recom-
mending the end of racial and
religious discrimination by all
fraternities on the Dartmouth
cam-pus.
There are 24 fraternities ac-
credited at the college. But 15
with national connections, and
ii'i". five local groups, have already
filed statements declaring that
they do not engage in racial or
religious discrimination.
