ARAMCO to End Discrimination
Against Jewish Job Applicants

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
six-year legal battle against the
employment practices of the
Arabian American Oil Company
((ARAMCO) appeared ended Dec.
15 with agreement by the oil
firm to obey an order by the
New York Commission for Hu
man Rights to stop discriminat-
ing against Jewish job applicants.
.The agreement was contained
in a stipulation entered into by
ARAMCO, the American Jewish
Congress — which - fought the
issue through the courts — and
the Commission for H u in a n
Rights. Shad Polier, chairman of
the American Jewish Congress
governing council, called the
agreement a "major victory in
the fight for equality for all
our citizens."
Under terms of the stipulation,
ARAMCO waived any • right to
contest the decision handed down
last September by the Commis-
sion which ruled that the oil
firm had illegally questioned job
applicants about their religion
and had refused to hire Jewish
applicants for its offices in New
York City or for its oilfield
operations in Saudi Arabia.
The company also waived any
right to challenge the validity of
the Commission's order requir-
ing to cease and desist from any
discriminatory practices and to
take certain steps to wipe out
the effect of past discrimination;

Hebrew Corner

Mikve Israel

A group of Jews from France,
headed by Jacob (Carl) Netter,
visited the Land of Israel about 93
years ago. The grotip was sent by
the Alliance of Israel Organization,
the purpose of which was to spread
culture among the Jews of the -East.
The group found-- that - there • was
not even one Jewish agricultural
settlement in the country. The sev-
eral thousand Jewish inhabitants
were centered in the ancient cities
—Jerusalem, Hebron, Salad and Ti-
berias, and lived on charity.
The group decided to set up an
agricultural school that would pre-
pare the Jews for farming. So it
happened that about 92 years ago,
the Mikve Israel was the only
Jewish settlement between Jaffa
and Jerusalem. It was at Mikve
Israel, in 1898, that Theodore Herzl
met Wilhelm II of Germany.
The graduates of the Mikve Is-
rael School became good farmers
and played an important role in the
financial life of the country; while
credit goes to the school for being
the first Jewish settlement in the
Land of Israel in our period. It was
founded even before Petah Tikva.
known as the "mother of Settle-
ments."

and to withdraw its application
to the New York Supreme Court
for an order to annul the Com-
mission's decision.
The Commission correspond-
ingly withdrew its counter ap-
plication for a court order to
enforce the decision but the
commission reserved the right to
apply to the court for an en-
forcement order if at any time
in the future it deemed ARAMCO
guilty of further discrimination.
Such an order would be en-
forceable by contempt- proceed-
ings, American Jewish Congress
officials said.

Alabama Newspaper
Calls Demotion of
Warden Anti-Semitic

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., (JTA)
The action of the Alabama
State Board of Corrections in
demoting a Jewish warden at a
state prison, Martin I. Wiman,
has created speculations that
one of the factors in the deci-
sion is that the warden is Jew-
ish, the Birmingham News as-
serted editorially.
The demotion was approved
by a three to two decision and
the Birmingham daily said in
its editorial that "shock waves
are being felt throughout the
state—and right into the gover-
nor's office."
The daily declared that the
"major shocker" was the fact
that a convict's testimony
"should carry so much weight
in evaluating a professional
penologist's administrative poli-
cies." It called Warden Wiman
"one of the most highly regard-
ed professionals in the Alabama
prison system, to which Correc-
tions Commissioner Frank Lee's
vigorous defense of Wiman be-
fore the board attests."
The charges against the war-
den included allegations by
Chaplain R. S. Watson that the
warden was not a religious man,
a judgment obviously based on
difference in religious belief
and practice between the two
men. In testimony before the
Corrections Board, Chaplain
Watson admitted that there had
been -sharp differences between
him and the warden, who de-
nied all the charges.
