Effectiveness of Leaders
in Biracial Relationships
Is Redefined by ADL

Public officials and civic leaders,
concerned with improving inter-
racial relations, were warned that
the popular belief that "racial or
religious groups can be controlled
or managed through leaders" is,
largely, "a myth."
The warning comes in a new
study, "Guidelines: A Manual for
Biracial Committees," the first com-
prehensive guide to the establish-
ment and operation of these groups,
published by the Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith. It was pre-
pared and written by George
Schermer, a consultant on human
relations for civil rights groups
and foundations, under a grant
from the Eleanor Roosevelt Memo-
rial Foundation.
Government officials and other
prominent figures in the commu-
nity "often delude themselves,"
the study says, by assuming they
have established intergroup com-
munications by "bringing leaders
of the various population elements
together. This is rarely so."
Schmermer denies the effective-
ness of "behind-the-scenes action"
by committee members and com-
munity leaders, and calls the in-
formal "responsible channels" of
communication, "extremely unre-
liable."
Open discussion through the mass
media, he says, is "the only reliable
way" to reach the public and avoid
misunderstanding and suspicion.
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson,
in the preface to the manual, says
its purpose "is to equip people
with the knowledge and skills to
assure permanent gains in the great
social revolution of our time."

Brandeis U. Will Offer
Two New Grad Programs

WALTHAM, Mass. — Brandeis
University will inaugurate in Sep-
tember two new graduate programs
leading to the Ph.D. degree in the
history of American civilization
and in philosophy.
The two new areas raise to 17
the number of study programs of-
fered by Brandeis' Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences.
The history program will focus
specifically on the historical de-
velopment of American culture.
The program in philosophy is
designed to train sutdents in the
history of philosophy as well as in
the analysis of the problems which
presently dominate philosophical
concern.

BUENOS AIRES—Officials of
DAIA, the central representative
agency of Argentine Jews, said
Tuesday after an emergency meet-
ing to consider fresh anti-Jewish
incidents that they planned to in-
form Argentine authorities that
any further aggressions against
Jews might provoke direct coun_
teraction by the victims.
The emergency meeting was
called to plan efforts to neutralize
the situation created by new anti-
Jewish a n d Nazi provocations.
These included a virulently anti-
Semitic letter to DAIA by a retired
air force general and a ceremony
in a church by a neo-Nazi group
featuring a typical Nazi harangue.
Dr. Isaac Goldenberg, DAIA
president, told the Jewish Tele_
graphic Agency that DAIA had
been assured by Police Chief In-
spector Nicolas Rodriguez that in-
vestigations of some anti-Jewish
assaults during the past two weeks
were being undertaken.
Dr. Goldenberg also said that
he was meeting with Defense Min-
ister Leopolda Suarez about the
involvement of the air force offi-
cer, Grig. Gen. Gilberto Hidalgo
Oliva, and Col. Alexandro Laciar,
who addressed the neo-Nazi church
meeting in anti-Jewish extremist
actions. Dr. Goldenberg said he
planned to meet with Antonio Car_
dinal Caggiano, Archbishop of
Buenos Aires, about Nazi style
meetings in churches. Dr. Golden-
berg expressed the hope that the
situation would be normalized by
vigorous efforts of the government
and police to insure the tran-
quality of the Jewish community.
The meeting at which Col. La-

ciar gave what the DAIA called
a typical Nazi harangue took
place on Argentine Flag Day, a
national holiday. It was held by
members of the Guardia Res-
taurojora Nationalista. Dressed
in Nazi style, the participants
swore loyalty to their Nazi prin-
ciples in the Nuestra Senora
Church of Buenos Aires.
The former commander of the
Cordoba Air Garrison declared
also that the "Jewish community
which you represent forgets its
duties toward the nation which re_
ceived it so generously. The time
has arrived to remind your co-re-
ligionists that they do not tread
on conquered land. Do not mis-
understand our Christian patience
and do not get erroneous ideas. A
sleeping lion is not a dead lion."
Following this "introduction",
the retired officer said that "with
the double weapon of Masonry and
Communism, Zionism has started
its action."
He then enumerated a lengthy
list of charges to the Argentine
Government about education, fam_
ily life and related matters, and
accused the DAIA of having "in-
filtrated its Zionist co-nationals in
all important government posi-
tions." He charged that President
Illia "only symbolically presides
over a government managed by
Zionists."
Gen. Olivia then repeated a
classic anti_Semitic canard that ac-
cording to Jewish religious teach-
ing "nothing is more pleasant to
God then corruption and death of
a Christian." He also cimplained
about "Zionist Tyranny" over the
press, television and literature.
The letter was published in sev-
eral dailies.

New Montgomery Pro-Israel Stand

By S. J. GOLDSMITH

JTA Correspondent in London
(Copyright. 1964, JTA, Inc.)

LONDON—I was always won-
dering whether Field Marshal
Montgomery of Alamein, the great
figure of the Second World War,
who will no doubt go down in
history as a military leader of the
stature of a Wellington or a Marl-
borough, would remain adamant in
his attitude to Zionism and Israel
and thus be counted, eventually,
among the enemies of the Jewish
people—a role in history every
sensitive statesman tries to avoid.
It was surprising that "Monty,"
with his feel for history and his
sense of dream, should not do
something about it.
Well, he did. The other night,
and quite unexpectedly. But first
—a word about the past. When
Montgomery commanded troops in
Palestine before the war, he was
not too friendly with the Jews. He
wanted to keep order himself, and
resented the Haganah having arms.
He considered it a kind of personal
affront.
After the war, when he was chief
of the Imperial General Staff, he
wanted to undertake an all-out
campaign to crush the Haganah
and the Yishuv. It had reached
the stage when even Atlee, then
Prime Minister, thought he was
pushing it too far, and prevented
him from putting his plan into
operation. When Bevin announced
his intention to quit Palestine,
Montgomery said: "The Arabs will
knock the Jews for six." It was one
of the memorable howlers of the
great man, and he is still trying to
live it down .. .
And then came a dinner of the
Bridge, an organization for social
service and youth guidance in
Britain and Israel, non-denomina-
tional, enjoying the support of the
Duke of Edinburgh and many
other good men and women here
and in the Jewish State. It was not
a fund-raising event. Many of the
tables were occupied by young
men and women, who had won
awards to go and do social work in
Israel (the competition is ex-
tremely keen).

The very fact that "Monty"
had agreed to come and be
guest-of-honor was a surprise.
After all, the bridge is between
Britain and Israel . . . But
"Monty" had even a greater sur-
prise in store for us. Without
any warning, he rose and de-
clared that he was proud that
the Jewish Brigade served under
his command; that he approved
of the Bridge; that he would in-
stitute a personal scholarship for
a young man to go to Israel and
do there social work, provided
that the young man would come
and tell him all about it on his
return (condition accepted on
the spot) ; and that he expected
the Bridge to bring about a bet-
ter understanding between
Britain and Israel.
Montgomery is not, as a rule,
given to changing his mind and re-
canting. But here he was making
it up with Israel, as it were. Who
would not respond to such a ges-
ture by a 77-year-old field marshal,
who walks among us like an ani-
mated slice of history? . . . He was
given standing ovation. And so he
managed to escape the company of
Malcolm Macdonald, Ernest Bevin,
Clement Attlee and Melville Cham-
berlain . . .
It was at the same dinner that
Archbishop Heenan announced the
return of the Roman Catholics to
the Council of Christians and
Jews. They had left the Council
in 1954, in the days of Pope Pius
XII. It was stated at the time that
it was not for lack of sympathy
with the aims of the Council that
they were leaving it, but because
they were not given to close col-
laboration with other denomina-
tions. But things have changed.
"These are ecumenical days,' as
Dr. Heenan put it so aptly. The
Holy Office is now in favor of co-
operation. But it was Dr. Heenan
who took the initiative, this being
a local matter. He was always un-
happy about the departure from
the Council, but there was at the
time not only a different Pope in
Rome, but also a different Arch-
bishop at Westminster.

The Special Prayer
at Candle Lighting

The housewife offers a special
prayer for the welfare of her
family when she lights the Sab-
bath candles.
The famous Medieval Com-
mentary, Rabbi Bachai, explains
that it is fitting for the house-
wife to do this because she has
been assigned and has been en-
trusted with this responsibility
to the end that the Almighty
will bless her with children who
are "enlightened" with Torah.
The prayer. of a person, claims
the author, is always better
heard by the Almighty if it is
offered in conjunction with
some Mitzvah which the person
performs. Thus, a mother's
prayer for her family is in place
when she is performing this
commandment of lighting the
candles, especially since a
mother's prayer is always con-
cerned with the welfare of her
children and the Rabbis some-
how associate the lighting of
candles with the "enlighten
ment" of one's children (Bavli,
Shabbos 23b).

the Almighty and his people at
Mount Sinai when the Torah was
given. At that occasion the Bible
speaks of the appearance of light-
ning and thus the lighted candles
are carried to the marriage canopy

speaking, candles were a part of
