Jacobs' Is Curly Jewish?' Due Soon
In October Atheneum will pub-
lish "Is Curly Jewish?", a ram-
bunctious memoir of American
society, written by Paul Jacobs.
The Atheneum book, due soon, is
a revealing account of how Jacobs
has sought to discover — in Ameri-
ca, behind the iron curtain and in
Israel — whether there is any con-
nection between his being a radical
and his identity as a Jew. His an-
swer to the question posed in the
title has significance for every
American, Jew or gentile alike.
The author's career is typical of
the American radical and mirrors
a vivid panorama of the American
scene from the 1930s to today.
Jacobs joined the Young Com-
munist League in the 1930s, was
expelled for Trotskyist leanings,
became a Trotskyite and then left
the movement to become a union
organizer. He served in the Army
from 1942 to 1945 and after his
discharge went to work for the
American Jewish Committee.
Three years later he returned to
the trade unions and finally, in
1955 began a new career as a
writer.
He is currently on the staffs

UJA Running Above 64
An upward trend in community
campaigns on behalf of the 1965
nationwide United Jewish Appeal
and local Jewish causes was noted
by Max M. Fisher of Detroit, UJA
general chairman, in a report to
the UJA executive committee, at a
three-day retreat in Tuxedo, N.Y.
A study of campaign achieve-
ments in 376 communities, exclu-
sive of New York City, whose cam-
paigns are under way or com-
pleted, Fisher stated, revealed a
total of $66,476,000 raised to date,
for an increase of 9.7 per cent,
compared to the $60,476,000 these
same communities raised at this
time last year.

In issuing the study, the World
Jewish Congress expressed the
hope that it will stir "even incite
—nations and governments, some
of which are currently considering
suitable steps, to embody within
their legal systems measures that
will contribute to global action to
bar the bigots from inflaming
others with their racial and re-
ligious hostilities."

Soviet Policy Against Jews Not New
U.S. Protest Brought Action in 1869
American Jewigh protests against
Russian anti-Semitism originated
nearly 100 years ago and led to
the first U.S. government action
dealing exclusively with Russian
Jewry.
A Bnai Brith appeal presented
to President Ulysses S. Grant in
1869, urging U.S. intervention in
the discriminatory expatriation of
20,000 Jewish families from the
Bessarabian boundary area, ulti-
mately resulted in a cancellation
of the expatriation order, Evelyn
Levow Greenberg reported to the
American Jewish Historical So-
ciety.
Mrs. Greenberg, research analyst
for Bnai Brith, said that the de-
portations were halted largely be-
cause of U.S. government dis-
approval. The United States was
then one of Russia's strongest al-
In November 1869, Russia re-
newed an obsolete 44-year-old
law prohibiting Jews from liv-
ing within '7% miles of the coun-
try's boundaries. The city of
Kishinev—with a population of
20,000 Jewish families — had
fallen within the f o r b i d d e n
boundary area 113 years earlier
when Russia lost territory in the
Crimean War. It was not until
1869, however, that newly ar-
rived Bulgarian emigrants de-
manded the law be enforced to
expel Jews from the city.
When news of the deportation
order reached the United States,
Bnai Brith's Elijah Lodge in Wash-
ington sent a committee to per-
sonally present an appeal to Presi-
dent Grant urging the United
States to take proper action "to
afford relief to the people so
"Medicine is the noblest of all
professions."

The President was deeply moved
by the appeal.
"It is too late. in this age of
enlightenment, to persecute any-
one on account of race, color, or
religion," he told the committee.
Secretary of State Hamilton Fish
was instructed by President Grant
to write the United States minis-
ter in St. Petersburg to investi-
gate the deportation and make a
report to Washington. Eugene
Schuyler, the U.S. consul at Revel
and an expert in Russian affairs,
also supplied information.
The President's interest in the
matter — which was widely re-
ported in the European press —
is believed a main reason the Rus-
sian government postponed the de-
portation order, Mrs. Greenber
said.
It was never renewed.
