N.J. Young GOP Fails Orthodox Insist Teachers Have Yarmulka Rights
NEW YORK (JTA)—Two Ortho- er, president of the Rabbinical
to OK Rat Fink Apology dox
Jewish leaders here Sunday
NEWARK (JTA)—A New Jersey
Young Republican committee, in-
vestigating charges of anti-Semi-
tism and racial bigotry against the
organization's Rat Fink conserva-
tive group, adjourned its hearings
here last weekend until the Young
Republican National Federation
agrees to cooperate in the probe.
The national group has refused to
make available the results of its
own earlier hearing on the issue.
The Rat Finks were charged
earlier this year with having or-
ganized racist and anti-Semitic
song sessions at a Young Repub-
lican state convention last May, in
Wildwood, N.J., and a month later
at the national convention in
Miami.
Before the New Jersey Young
Republican investigating group ad-
journed its hearings, Clark Allen,
Young Republican state chairman,
attempted to introduce a resolution
that would convey the group's
"apology to the citizens of New
Jersey for the apparent actions of
a small number of Young Repub-
licans."
But he failed to get a two-third's
majority vote needed to suspend
the rules, so that his resolution
could be considered. The'resolution
was, therefore, not adopted.
strongly criticized a board of edu-
cation decision that would prohibit
Jewish teachers from wearing
yarmulkas in public schools. The
board recently rescinded a similar
regulation applying to students.
In a joint statement, Moses I.
Feuerstein, president of the Union
of Orthodox Jewish Congregations
of America, and Rabbi Israel Mill-
Council of America, said that the
prohibition on the wearing of
yarmulkas by teachers is a "viola-
tion of their individual religious
freedom and a denial of the basic
tenets of our bill of rights." Rabbi
Miller and Feuerstein said that
about 2,000 Jewish teachers in the
public school system were Ortho-
dox.

`Black Anti-Semitism' an Anti-White
Attitude? Rabbi Sees Gospel Role
NEW YORK — The roots and
extent of "black anti-Semitism"
were explored by a New York tele-
vision panel Sunday, with most
panelists agreeing that Negroes
who are accused of being anti-
Semitic are showing, in actuality,
anti-white feelings.
Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath
stressed, however, that theological
teaching had played a "very sig-
nificant role" in creating Negro
anti-Semitism.
Rabbi Eisendrath,- president of
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, said that the idea
of Jews as "Christ killers" has
been instilled through the "literal
interpretation of the Gospel."
Another panelis t, Alexander
Allen, eastern regional director of
the National Urban League, said
that "some anti-Semitism" is found
among Negroes, but added that
"there is anti-Semitism throughout
the American society."
Mr. Samuel Bronfman (right),
-hairman of the North American
Executive of the World Jewish
Congress, had high praise for Dr.
John P. Humphrey (left), who is
retiring after 20 years as director
of the United Nations Division of
Human Rights. Prof. Humphrey
was the guest of the WJC leader
at a luncheon in New York. Bronf-
man lauded Humphrey's "great
achievements in advancing the
cause of human rights." Among
the guests at the luncheon were
members of the diplomatic corps,
UN colleagues of Dr. Humphrey,
2nd leaders of WJC.

of the Negro, Floyd McKissick,
national director of the Congress
of Racial Equality, said there are
some Jewish merchants who
"really exploited" and "some
other Jewish merchants who are
pretty fair." The greater major-
ity of those who exploited, he

H a r 1 e m. McKissick insisted,
however, that the feeling is more
anti-white than anti-Jewish.
Buildings Commissioner Charles
P. Moerdler noted that when Jews
vacate a neighborhood, as in
Harlem. the Jewish merchants and
landlords remain.
"When the Negro sees the white
businessman or the person to
whom he must let out frustra-
tions," Moerdler said. "in the over-
whelming majority of the instances
it is frequently a Jew."
(Rabbi Eisendrath also spoke
last weekend in a Sabbath lecture,
charging that the United States
has not shown enough concern over
India's current emergency food
problems. Noting the vast ex-
penditure by this country in the
Vietnam conflict and in space ex-
ploration, Rabbi Eisendrath said,
"Our mandate to feed the hungry
is at least as urgent . . .")
East Germans Turn Site
of Camp to Museum
BONN (JTA)—The museum in
the East German town of Stutthof,
which was the site of a notorious
concentration camp during the
Nazi era, has been opened to the
public, it was reported here. The
museum had been put under super-
vision of the East German Ministry
of Culture.
The Stutthof camp housed 120,-
000 prisoners of 17 nationalities of
whom 85,000, very many of them
Jews, were murdered. Many thou-
sands died after the camp was
liberated because they were too
weak to be brought back to health.
The museum contains lists of the
inmates, documents and a num-
ber of exhibits connected with life
and death in the camp.
The East German government
worked with many countries in as-
sembling the material for the mu-
seum.
The First Critic
"It is through criticism . . . that
the race has managed to come out
of the woods and lead a civilized
life. That first man who objected
to the general nakedness and
advised his fellows to put on
clothes, was the first critic." — E.
