ATLANTA, Ga., (JTA) — More and more Jewish commu- nities throughout the south are involving themselves in a "growing ring of desegregation activities," it was asserted here by the Southern Israelite, local weekly newspaper edited by Adolph Rosenberg, on the basis of a study made by the paper. The Atlanta Jewish news- paper said in an editorial that "the impression erroneously prevails that Jewish residents in the south are all cowering in fear over the problem of desegregation and adopting a hands-off attitude." "Thousands are indeed lo- cated in states where the threat of anti-Semitism hangs heavily over their heads and they may be in actual bodily danger which could be ignited by such efforts as the abortive visit of the demonstration-happy rabbis in Birmingham," his editorial continued. "But thousands more, by far the majority, live in areas where goodwill and re- spect for law and order com- prise the prevailing southern sentiment, and their leaders are unafraid and forthright in seek- ing solutions. "The most tried are Jews who live in scattered towns and cities, isolated for the most part from contemporary Jewish opinion and the reas- surance of Jewish neighbors," the paper stressed. "These frontliners cannot be over- looked or disregarded by courageous arm-chair strate- gists," the editorial empha- sized. In Charleston, S.C., the news- paper reported, "Jewish resi- JULES DONESON Knows his mountains .. .

In Savannah, Ga., "the Jewish community is participating actively in bring- ing a solution to the desegrega- tion-troubled population." On the other hand, in Albany, Ga., an attempted sit-in in the Jewish temple there on a Fri- day night was frustrated when "ushers turned away two Jew- ish members of the student integration movement, and a third person described by mem- bers of the congregation as a Negro child." The newspaper stated that the Albany congre- gation, "one of Georgia's old- est groups, has a policy of not admitting Negroes to services." The Charleston report noted that "while Jewish leaders in some areas of the south are working behind closed doors, or refraining from participation because they fear anti-Semtisrn, this is not the case in Charles- ton." Several stores in that city, including establishments owned by Jews, have added Negro salesmen to their staffs. Dr. William Wexler, pres- ident of the Jewish Commu- nity Council of Savannah, told The Southern Israelite that "local Jews are taking a forthright part with other residents in working out a solution" to desegregation demands. Wexler noted that at least two leaders of the Jewish community in Savan- nah are among the city's ne- gotiators "trying to work out an amicable development." The Savannah report noted: "Jewish merchants and trades- men have experienced loss in the unofficial boycott of the Colored protest group, although many of the merchants have participated with non-Jewish merchants in meeting the de- mands of the Negroes." Only one incident in Savannah, ac- cording to Wexler, indicated an anti-Jewish attitude. That in- cident, he said, involved one picket sign that read: "You gave freedom to JewG, Japs and Chinese—why not to- us?" Both Savannah and Charles- ton Jews said that the local temples would admit Negroes if they wished to attend reli- gious services. Wexler was quoted as saying: "It ill be- hooves Jewish . people, who are so concerned with human dig- nity and civil rights, for our- selves to deny these privileges to others." Minnesota Hillel Leader Tells Concern Over Interdating and Intermarriage on Campus MINNEAPOLIS, (JTA)—Con- cern over the increase in inter- dating and intermarriage of Jewish students at the Univer- sity of Minnesota was expressed here by Rabbi Louis Milgrom, director of the Hillel Founda- tion at the University. In a report to the Minnesota Hillel Advisory Council, Rabbi Milgrom pointed to what he called an "extremely dangerous" trend of interdating and inter- marriage among Jews _ on the campus, in spite of an apparent Bus Service Resumes for Ultra-Orthodox in Jerusalem Quarters • JERUSALEM (JTA) — Bus service to and from the Meah Shearim and Beit Yisrael quar- ters of Jerusalem, was resumed by the Hamekasher Bus Coopera- tive, after a three-day suspen- sion following the Sabbath ston- ing of buses by ultra-Orthodox zealots from those quarters. A number of vehicles and sta- tions belonging to the Coopera- tive were damaged during the stoning Saturday night by the zealots who alleged that three Hamekasher buses participated in transporting a group of Bap- tists from Mandelbaum Gate earlier on the Sabbath. Twelve demonstrating zealots were ar- rested and held for trial, while six other juveniles were releas- ed on bail and will be similarly tried. sharp drop over the past year in the proportion of non-Jewish dates at "official" Jewish func- tions. Rabbi Milgrom, who said he based his views on daily counsel- ing problems, told the American Jewish World here that "inter- marriage as well as interdating continued to rise and will not abate until something is done on a far larger scale throughout the community."

A PEOPLE'S EPIC Issue English Copy of Swiss Unclaimed Properties Decree NEW YORK, (JTA) — The World Jewish Congress office here issued an English trans- lation of the recently adopted Swiss decree on "Unclaimed Properties of Stateless Persons and Foreigners in Switzerland" and its implementary regula- tion. The law lifts the stringent Swiss banking regulations that protected the identity of de- positors and have, until now, prevented a c t i on regarding bank accounts, d e p o s i t s or other assets left unclaimed since the war. Enactment of the Swiss legis- lation follows long negotiations, both by the Allies and various Jewish organizations — Swiss and foreign. The decree deals with all kinds of properties of which it is known or presumed that they belonged to persons who have been "victims of racial, religious or political persecution." The University of Michigan was the first to be governed by a board of regents elected by the people and the first - maj- or university to admit women in 1870. THE HOTTER THE WATER...
