Alabama Jewish Paper Backs Negotiations With Negro Community
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., (JTA)-
The Jewish Monitor, the only
Jewish publication in Alabama,
said editorially that the only
solution to the South's racial
problems would be "within the
structure of constitutionality
which shapes and unifies the
American nation."
The editorial stated that most
Birmingham citizens were in
support of the Senior Citizens
committee, which has been ne-
gotiating with Negro leaders to
achieve a settlement of Negro
demands and its counterpart
in the colored community. "The
solution will come, must come
from efforts such as theirs,"
the editorial stressed.
The editorial was critical of
the 19 rabbis who left a Rabbini-
cal Assembly of America con-
vention last month to come en
masse to Birmingham to demon-
strate their support of the
Negro struggle in that city
against segregation without first
consulting the community lead-
ers in Birmingham.
