INYU _ Students Turned Down
in Demands on Haehett Behalf

NEW YORK (JTA) — Some 200
students held a noisy but general-
ly orderly demonstration on New
York University's Washington
Square campus in downtown Man-
hattan Monday demanding the re-
instatement of John F. Hatchett,
the controversial Negro teacher
who was dismissed last week as
director of NYU's Afro-American
Student Center.
The demonstrators alleged that
Hatchett had been unjustly ac-
cused of anti-Semitic bias and
passed out leaflets defending him
against such charges. But a gen-
eral strike in support of Hatchett
by the 42,000-member student
body failed to materialize.
New York University said that
it would not reinstate Hatchett,
who was fired after referring to
Vice President Hubert H. Humph-
rey, Richard M. Nixon and Albert
Shanker, president of the United
Teachers Federation, as "racist
bastards" in a speech delivered
before a student group last week.

The dismissal was described
by the American Jewish Con-
gress as "an- encouraging indi-
cation that anti-Semitism, racism
and intemperate arrogance have
no place in a university faculty."
The AJCongress was one of
several Jewish groups, along
with the Catholic Interracial
Council and the Protestant Coun-
cil, which condemned the ap-
pointment of Hatchett to the
NYU post last July.

provided that the student groups
supporting Hatchett paid the rent.
Dr. James M. Hester, NYU pre-
sident, said the principal reason
for terminating Hatchett's ap-
pointment was that he "has prov-
ed to be increasingly ineffective
in performing his duties because
of the incompatibility of many of
his actions and public statements
with the requirements of his posi-
tion in the university."

Their opposition was based on
an article which the former Har-
leth school teacher wrote in No-
vember 1967 in the Afro-American
Forum, a Negro teachers periodi-
cal. He alleged in the article that
New York City's public school
system was dominated by Jews
who, with their "black Anglo-
Saxon imitators," were poisoning
the minds of Negro pupils.
The AJCongress said that it
hoped Hatchett would be replac-
ed "by someone who is more like-
ly to guide black students into
harmonious relationships with
their fellow students and the com-
munities in which they live."
About 100 students occupied
two buildings on the NYU Bronx
campus following Hatchett's dis-
missal. The university offered a
compromise under which the
teacher could serve as an adviser
to Negro students on the campus,
using his year's severance pay as
salary.

Israel's 'Son of the Lion'
Turns 82 at Sde Boker

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

SDE BOKER—Scores of friends
and admirers flocked to this tiny
desert town Oct. 9 to pay
t r i b u t e to David Ben-Gurion,
Israel's first prime minister, who
celebrated his 82nd birthday by
lecturing on biblical subjects at the
Sde Boker school.
Ben-Gurion, a widower now and
at least officially out of politics,
spent the day among close friends
of the Bible circle which used to
meet in the Ben-Gurions' Tel Aviv
home or in the Jerusalem home of
the late Itzhak Ben-Zvi when the
latter was Israel's president. Later,
speaking in the school which over-
looks the grave of his wife, Paula,
Ben-Gurion discoursed on Moses,
David and Elijah.
Moses was right, he declared,
when he said that the Jews are a
genuine and a unique nation. Then,
applying the biblical lesson in an
oblique criticism of the government
of his political foe, Prime Minister
Levi Eshkol, Ben-Gurion said:
"Israel has all the characteristics
bf a unique nation. We have a
unique army. What we need is a
special and extraordinary govern-
ment. Without such a government,
we shall not survive."
